  Standing far afield, an imposing man in a chain shirt with a buckler straped on his arm and a rolled parchment grasped in the same hand makes a gesture and says an unrecognizable word.

  Actions(since LOS is virtually nonexistent for a submerged PC)-
   
   Spoiler 
    Standard-  Ready action to use scroll of  Command  as soon as he's in range and sight.
   Free-  Use  Divine Might  Feat
  
   Question:  Would spreading caltrops be a Standard of Move action...no real specification under the item so I thought I'd ask just in case.

  ((Thanks Mavian. Hope that last post didn't come across too harshly, it wasn't intended to. The swimming tactic is a good one Imp.
    Also, you don't want to unspoiler where you surface since LOS might not have been available. No need to give away your position without needing to. 🙂))
  
  Actions-
   
   Spoiler 
  
  Move- Spread Caltrops in C9 (assuming it's a move equivalent action)
  5' Step- A9
  Standard- Ready action to use scroll of Command.
  Conditons: in response to any attack made from dry land (if that would "fizzle" his attack using the  Drop  command) /or (if option 1. is not viable)/ as soon as he was completely out of the water and within 15' or less)
    This  will  be interesting.

  I believe Precedent has decided that scattering caltrops is a standard action, so both readying an action and scattering Caltrops would not be possible.
   
  
  
  Need response from Grayven.

   Spoiler 
   No problem, I'lll just hold onto the bag and skip using my move action this turn. Wa-la, like it never happened. Would you want me to strike it out/revise my last action? Otherwise, it's IF's turn, and we're approaching a DQ.
   
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Psionic Dog: In case it needs to be said, Ran'dhul's turn.
  
  @Grayven
   
   Spoiler 
  Strike-out's work pretty well and might help, but it's not necessary.
  
  Anyway, the DQ timer starts ticking from when the match begins to wait on an a particular opponent, which technically would have begun with your last post although some could argue starts with this one.

   A little dissapointing though, I'm curious how that one would have turned out.
