((Sorry... I feel bad))

((LOL, don't feel bad. XD It's very impressive. You guys are a lot stronger than I give you credit for.)

(Speak for Mindartis! Q is getting his butt handed to him because dice don’t like me today) 

((I think I'm stealing all the crits XD))

(Quentin is pretty close to a win, too, and I am impressed that you got out of the cube. ^^  Quentin is fighting a Level 9 sorcerer, so it's bound to be a tough one.  You probably got your hardest fight for the first one.  I short-cutted by using a backup character I had rolled for a live campaign I can no longer go to. XD Probably ought to have bumped her down a level, but I will not let her thunderstep a second time, as compensation for your foiling her 5th-level spell so neatly. Raven's currently decimating my ranger from one of my other online games, bumped up a couple levels.  I will have to find her a challenging opponent for the last fight, too. I was so tempted to have Captain Kibble in one of the contests, but they would not have let her bring her skunk in as backup. For Mindartis, I am just randomly rolling up new characters, since I don't have any fighter types in my stable...think I will give you a paladin for the final round.  Elwin's jousting is kind of easy to run, no special attacks or abilities or strategies to worry about.)

(Good to know. Now fail your ST’s :P) 

(Whoops, did not see Quentin's attack when the page changed, sorry! Heh, I do feel terrible when I roll well for your enemies, if that is any comfort. )

Frazzah, con save: 19

Dex save: 2

------------------------------

Mindartis is called for the final bout.  His opponent is a heavily armored elf, with a shield and morningstar.

"FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!" the announcer shouts. "Mindartis Liadon of the Feywiild vs Baron Griesel Ollanpar of the Southernwood Court!"

Roll for initiative!

Baron Ollanpar initiative: 20

Still terrified of the owl from the Wild Magic surge, and now zapped by him yet again, Frazzah howls, KEEP THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!" and hurls Chaos Bolt again--at Henry this time.

Attack: 28 Damage: 15 + 10 (poison) damage.

As poor Henry (I assume?) pops out of existence, Frazaah's look of panic changes to a look of horror that she wasted her last 3rd level spell slot on an owl.

(Shouldn't this be at disadvantage because Frightened?)

Yes. Oops!

Re-rolling attack for disadvantage: 26

Sorry, she still hit. :(  The dice are with Frazzah today.

Quentin's eye furrow as Henry poofs out of existence. "You killed my owl!" He says clearly upset as raises his wand and drawing a circle in the air six little magical darts appear before they all simultaneously rush forward and strike at the dragonborn. 

Magic Missile 4th Level: 19

There is no escape for Frazzah--the missiles smack into her with all the vengeful wrath of a wizard whose owl has been snuffed, and she is down!

Healers come to collect and repair the dragonborn, and one of the elder elves officiating the magic duel approaches you. "Tsk, how inconvenient," she says. "Would you like to take an hour to re-summon your familiar?  We can schedule your next match around the delay."

Panting Quentin says, "If you do not mind, as you can see he is quite imperative to how I sling my spells." 

(OOC: I get my spells slots back for each bout but not my health correct? And we don't get to watch each other's bouts so they don't know my tricks and I don't know theirs?) 

Now patched up, Elwin mounted Oroman again and trotted into position. On the signal, he charged forward, ready to take down his second opponent!

Initiative: 4

Lance Attack: 18
STR Save: 20

 ((You get your spell slots back as elder ritualists chant around you to restore them, even as you conduct your own ritual to recover poor Henry.  Yes, you are healed as well.  But sadly, you're not able to witness the intervening fights.  You can hear cheers from the spectator areas, but you are a few floors down tending to Henry and being gassed up again for the next fight.))

When you find yourself back in the mage arena at long last, Henry admiring his shiny new set of feathers from your shoulder (if you summoned him as an owl again, anyway) you are placed against a half-elf druid with a wicked smile, wearing a crown of stag horns. His name is announced as Billy Weston. Roll for initiative! 12

__________

Elwin's lance connects firmly, and shatters as Sir Banith manages to keep his seat. He tilts up his visor. "Well struck, Sir Elwin," he calls. "I will feel that in the morning!" The crowd are excited by the hit and start to chant your name.  Skizzix tosses you a new practice lance, and you set up for the next pass:

Sir Banith's attack: Initiative:14]  Attack: 10]  Save, if needed: 15

Quote from Astalda >>

----------------

Raven:  The Ranger is shaking and very nearly defeated, but still stubbornly strikes out at you with her scimitars, casting Hunter's Mark:

Attack: 13 Damage: 9 + 3

Attack: 14 Damage: 7 + 3

Attack: 11 Damage: 4 + 8

Plus Colossus Slayer (If more than one of those attacks has hit) 7

----------------------------------------

 

 All three strikes miss Raven.  She strikes back with her rapier...

Attack: 15 Damage: 7

"I think I'm finally getting the hang of this," thought Elwin as he nodded to Sir Banith. He repositioned himself, ready for the next round, and once more charged on the signal!

Initiative: 9

Lance Attack: 16
STR Save: 19

Quentin has Henry on his shoulder's as he readies himself for battle. 

Initiative: 19

If it's not broke, don't fix it. Going through his true strategy again Quentin first fire's off a Fire Bolt at the druid to test his defenses before imbuing Henry this time with the ability to Breath Acid before sending the owl off in a fly by to spew on the Druid. 

Fire Bolt: Attack: 19 Damage: 13

Acid Dragon Breath DC 15 Dex ST: 9

Elwin:  You and Sir Banith pass each other without touching again.  You turn for the next run. (**Playtesting this system indicates it's way too easy for both players to miss and way too heard to get a successful unhorsing!  I hereby change the rules in midstream.  Rounds go for 5 points.  Any hit counts for a point.  Unhorsing someone counts for three points.  Sound good? Elwin has one point against Sir Banith.)

Sir Banith's attack: Initiative:19]  Attack: 12]  Save, if needed: 20

--------------------

Raven:

Your knife scrapes off the ranger's armor.  She launches another series of attacks at you, getting over her fear.

Attack: 19 Damage: 8 + 1

Attack: 12 Damage: 11 + 3

Attack: 26 Damage: 5 + 1d6

Plus Colossus Slayer (If more than one of those attacks has hit) 7

((Oops on the unrolled 1d6 above: should be 1

-----------------------

Mindartis (Still waiting for your initiative roll, I think?)

-----------------------

Quentin: The firebolt splatters harmlessly on the druid's bone-studded armor.  The acid: Dex save: 11

With a chuckle, Weston speaks a few words of Druidic and a pack of eight velociraptors pop into being and rush toward you! (Raptor initiative: 259 )

(Sorry, fixing the D6 in Raven's section messed up these rolls: Druid failed save, Raptor initiative 11)

Quentin's move.
