[ic=Belarin HP: 10, AC: 20]
Belarin enters cautiously, sticking his head out of the gate quickly and bringing it back, then finally stepping out, followed by his guard dogs, Amris and Amrod.  Seeing his opponents as if for the first time, he steps backward again, tripping in pratfall over Amris, but landing upright.  He then takes his place, five feet in front of the gate he entered by, with the dogs flanking him.

(hmm. I'm not sure how you layer performs -- should I be rollong Tumbling (perform usage) in there too, I wonder, either as the primary perform or to aid?  Not that the display manuvers matter in the bout qua bout, but they're fun).
Do you want to keep potions/scrolls used, etc in open ooc text?  It seems easiest (plus if I'm silly enough to post from my phone, I can't see spoilers there).
Also, what gate do you want to enter through?
[/ooc]

[ooc]Oh, also need initiative for Amris and Amrod, I guess.
Amris: [dice]1d20+2[/dice]
Amrod: [dice]1d20+2[/dice]
They're clearly on Defend duty.

Ulu is  on square E11. So he entered out of the left gate.

On the last round of the of the prep time, Ulu uses intimidate [dice]1d20+9[/dice]

edit: I don't have any consumable items to use, so however you want to do it is fine.

Belarin is at R10
Belarin reads two scrolls during his prep (Fox's Cunning, Bear's Endurance)[/ooc]
[ic=Belarin HP: 18, AC: 20]
Belarin reads a scroll; then he reads another scroll.  His elven cheeks look a little less sallow than usual.

[ooc]double-move, right?[/ooc]
[ic=Belarin HP: 10, AC: 20]
Belarin starts at the oncoming Samurai, and turns and walks away, his dogs following and placing themselves between him and the obvious threat.
He then obviously thinks better of this, as he turns and chants briefly, guesturing.  As he does so, a spider web appears, starting over Ulu's shoulder, but quickly engulfing his him and the area around him.
[/ic]
[ooc]Walk to L4.  Cast Web at (M,L,10,11) -- Reflex save, DC: 18, to avoid being fixed in place (automagic entanglement and Cover even on a failed save).  Duration: 40 minutes.
Dogs follow, ending up at M4 and L5, avoiding the web.

[ic=Ulu HP 28 AC 20 (24 including Web)]
Ulu is stuck tight by the webs that descended  around him however he ignites his swords, causing the webbing to catch fire around him. Ignoring the pain as the webbing burns off of him.

Initiates Burning Blade, burning the web out of square N 11
Ulu's Reflex not to catch on fire [dice]1d20+2[/dice] (I'm not certain on the DC here, so could someone look this up?)

Also, since it's your web mneme, could you roll the damage for the fire?

[ooc]Fire Damage: [dice]2d4[/dice]
I don't think there's a "catch fire" chance.

For that matter, there's specific interaction between "magic flaming swords" and the Web spell; I'm not sure how that works in terms of timing (but suspect that taking damage on the first round is right, given that you're cutting through webs that are -holding you in place-.  Somewhat arguable, though)

Also, a rules question of my own:

I'm pretty sure that given that "total cover" == "no line of effect", that while I don't have line of effect to you right now, that I do have LOE to (10,11,L,M), that that vertex -does- have LOE to you (not being blocked by 20 feet of webs).  Does that sound right?

Also, as far as I can tell, a web provides cover but -not- concealment -- so I can tell what's going on inside the web, and unless I manage to "hide", you can tell what's going on outside, right?
[/ooc]

Endless_Helix

[ooc]
As far as I know, You can see into the webs and I can see out of them, but I'm not certain you don't have line of effect. I think I just get +4 to AC. As far as I know, By lighting a fire inside the webs, I can light the webs on fire, without an attack roll, as they're kind of everywhere. Actually, I've a chance to catch fire if I'm inside the webs while they're burning. I didn't catch fire (I think it's DC15). I was almost hoping to have my character catch fire. Then  he could light different squares on fire.

[ic=Ulu HP 22 AC 24]
Ulu relaxes into a defensive stance, swords ready to deflect anything coming at him.
[/ic]

[ooc]
Ulu uses the total defense action (another +4 to AC), and stays where he is. At the end of the round, the webs recede around him.

[ooc]Invoking Burning Blade is a free action, I take it?  How long does it last?  I'm not familiar with Incarnum.

Assuming that...
Cast Shield, move to F3.  Amrod moves to G4, Amris moves to G3

[ic=Belarin HP: 18, AC: 24]
Belarin casts a spell, and walks further away from the firey samurai, as his dogs follow. "Having fun burning your way out of a sticky situation?", he calls?
