  It appears Camin (arpin) won the initiative roll, so we're awaiting his first go.

conversations.value: arpin: Spoiler 
  I'm on 2M. I pull out my Crossbow. Can I attack over the altar?
   
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mavian: Just some notes.  Make sure you read the map notes before taking your turn.  In this case, there are 2 doors blocking LoS from the get go.  So right now you can't even see the alter.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: arpin: Spoiler 
  Then I open the door.

conversations.value: Mavian: Arpin, please read the first post in the waiting room on Match Format,
  
  
   Any actions done without LoS are posted in spoilers. Also, if one character is hiding and the other fails his Spot check, the hiding character gets to post in spoiler blocks, but gets to peek in the spotting character's actions as well. This is an honor system, so integrity is very important. Any accusations of cheating will be investigated by the High Referees. 
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: arpin: Very sorry, I put my actions in spoilers.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Psionic Dog: @ Camin
   
   Spoiler 
   On Line of Sight 
  No LoS. You see the top of your opponent's door over the alter. The door is still closed.
  
  Now that you've spent a move action opening the door, what will you do with the rest of your turn?
  
   On Shooting over the alter: 
  There are two relevent points here:
  •  Medium and small characters always occupy a 5ft cube when possible. Since the alter is also 5ft tall, there is no LoS or LoE between two medium or smaller characters when the alter is between them.
  •  Projectiles in the arena travel in straight lines. Arrows can not travel is curves unless you have a feat or class feature that says they can.
  
  So no, while standing on ground you can not shoot over the alter to hit another creature standing on the ground.
  
  
   On Post Formating 
  
  The following is a recommend guideline. You will not be disqualified or penalized for posting differently, but we still recommend posting in a similar format since that makes stuff neater and easier for the ref staff.

  Strawberry, please state your starting point (in spoilers) in the blue dot taking 4 places, this is in accordance with what Arenamanager set, with Strawberry being player 1 and Arpin player 2
  
  Arpin, please wait for a reff to state LoS before unspoiloring actions.

  From previous matches, it would apear that the stone collums block LoS, but the trees don't. Correct me if I'm wrong.
   
  
  
  When Camin reaches J14, we have LoS established. Camin can redo his movement from that point, then Kanoe gets to redo his entire turn.

  The Arena Manager listed Strawberry as Player 1,  RED  starting, but at this point it's probably best to accept that the players have their starting locations flipped.
  
  If there is ever any confusion as to starting locations, please see the first line of the thread and check your character name's color. It matches your starting dot.
   
  
  
  LoS established when Camin reaches J-14. Kanoe is in L-18.
  
  Camin: you may now revise your remaining movement if you wish.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: arpin: Can I return to K13?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Psionic Dog: @Camin
   
   Spoiler 
  Yes, easily.
  
  When LoS is established the game is rewound to the that instant with the active combatant allowed to revise the remainder of their turn if they wish.
  
  As of J14 you've moved 35ft. This leaves up to 25 ft of possible movement left on your double move action. Since K13 is only 5-10 ft away there is no reason you couldn't move to that location.
