  A towering figure in a dark robe enters the room where you have been milling around sizing up the competition. His face is completely obscured by his hood. He raises both hands to get your attention and speaks in a deep voice.
  Issafer, Moira. You have been chosen to fight. Prepare yourselves! With that he brings his hands down and the two of you find yourself transported to the  arena 
  
  OOC:
  You've got time for one swift action and one standard action before you get transported in case you need to adopt a stance or activate an item.
  
  On the map, light green is open terrain, dark green represents forests; these count as difficult terrain and you can hide in there, blue represents water(DC 10 Swim check), red/brown is the cliffs (10ft, Climb DC20, blocks LoS), orange is cliffs(20ft, climb DC20, block LoS), red is the cliffs(30ft, Climb DC20, block LoS), grey is rocky terrain; this counts as difficult terrain. Arena has a 60 foot ceiling.
  
  Opening post should have an initiative roll, anything you said after he called your name and what, if anything you did with the 'surprise round' before being transported. After that, start fighting in initiative order.

  Before proceeding to round 1, I don't have access to see your Arena. I think you must publish it and make it visible to all. :)

   We're sorry, "myemail@gmail.com" does not have permission to access this spreadsheet. 
  
  Try again?
conversations: nefele:
conversations: human
conversations:  Odd, I'll try again. If it doesn't work, then we'll use Lyndworms. It should work, I'm using Google Documents, so I had it shared with everyone, even if they weren't logged in.

conversations:  It's Ok, I can see it now. Gimme a minute, OK?
conversations: nefele:

conversations:  Google spreadsheets are awesome for this purpose. With the other thing, I had to print it and count squares with a pencil. Good job!
  
  Also, sorry, but I'll spare the fluff for this one. I'm multi-tasking and everything. 😛
   ROUND 1 
  
  move: fly, at ground level to W18.

conversations:  Issafer quickly raises his two, short blades to counter Moira's charge.
  Using Manticore Parry to redirect attack into Moira.
   (1d20+25)[ 43 ] 
  
  You didn't hit me, but I didn't get to hit you either. Yay for counter moves😛
conversations: Zipding:
conversations: human
conversations:  Umm... are you sure that works?
  
  
   When you initiate this maneuver, you
  can attempt to block an enemy’s melee
  attack that targets you and redirect it  to
  another target  adjacent to you. 
  
  I have a hard time imagining someone redirecting my attack to myself. 😛 But OK, go on. Your Turn

  Fort save equals this or be stunned
  Looks like quite a bit of damage there. That's 90 damage right there
conversations: Zipding:
conversations: human
conversations:  You can only use the extra attack from Weapons of Speed with a full attack, and you used a standard action maneuver. So it's one attack. Also, I'm afraid you didn't hit.
  
  (AC without Dex bonus 43+7 Law Devotion=50.Check spoiler above.)

conversations:  Thanks, at least its possible for Moira to die. My biggest hope was Swooping Dragon Strike and Raging Mongoose. Because both of those missed, I was royally screwed. I looked at it, I missed that I didn't realize that you were in charging distance, and +2 for blood in the water, so I miss BY 1😡
