[ic=Aldabrat]"So you believe, my friend, but you haven't seen me in a battle yet!"[/ic]

[ooc]We don't need no dang heroes, Jharviss! We're a rag-tag bunch of diverse and slightly drunken mercenaries! :P[/ooc]

Captain Obvious

[ic]Turning to minimise his profile, Ilio holds his blade down but ready as he shifts his weight from foot to foot and waits for his opponent to move.
"I am surprised to see a dwarf so light on their feet. Normally your people seem so clumsy to me. No offense meant, of course."[/ic]
 [ooc]initiative roll  [dice]1d20+4[/dice]
ready an action to strike if he does[/ooc]

Wensleydale

[ic=Aldabrat] Aldabrat does the same, and nods. "It is rare. But not worryingly so..." He similarly lowers his blade slightly.[/ic]

[ooc]Ready an action to attack if he does, if you will. :P Right little stand-off...[/ooc]

Captain Obvious

[ooc]To tell the truth, i've never fully understood how readying an action works.
Nominate you as my dodge target. The ac in brackets is using the grace feature form being a swashbuckler (applies against one hit per round). I am taking a -2 to hit. I'll tell you why later.[/ooc]
 [ic=Ilio hp 14, AC 20(28)]
"Have at you," Ilio cries as he shifts his weight lunges at his opponent.[/ic]
 [ooc]Attack roll  [dice]1d20+6[/dice]
no damage roll (just going to touch or pricks him.
parry roll if you use your readied action to counter  [dice]1d20+6[/dice] [/ooc]

[ooc]Similarly, I nominate my dodge bonus against you., with the brackets indicating my Grace bonus.[/ooc]  

[ic=Aldabrat, hp 28, AC 17 (23)]
Aldabrat easily dodges the first blow and lunges.[/ic]

[ooc]No damage roll for me either, he's only aiming to touch rather than hurt. [dice]1d20+6[/dice][/ooc]


Captain Obvious

[ic=Ilio hp 14, AC 20(28)]
"Excellent form," Ilio says, eaisly parrying mis foe's conterattack. "Try this one," He proclaims as he pulls a slash short, then flips the blade in his grip and reverses his thrust.[/ic]
 [ooc]Attack roll  [dice]1d20+6[/dice]
no damage roll.
parry roll (for on your action) [dice]1d20+6[/dice] [/ooc]

[ooc]roll to confirm. (just for fun)  [dice]1d20+6[/dice] [/ooc]
 [ic]His surprising strike slides through the dwarf's defenses and pokes him lightly in the shoulder. "First point to me, my friend," Ilio exclaims as he steps back and readies his blade for the next exchange. [/ic]

Wensleydale

[ic]"Ack! I shall have you for that!" Aldabrat grins and presses the attack.[/ic]

[ooc][dice]1d20+6[/dice]

Evidently, Aldabrat's more of a gunfighter. :P
[/ooc]


Captain Obvious

[ooc]Why do we keep getting 6+6??? Ookay, go try cool swashbuckling moves. Lemme know if you think i should use the rules differently. I had this awesome idea to tumble pat you and then kick the log as a sort or trip attack, but i then checked the trip rules and realised i had them wrong. -4 small, +4 dwarf, uses my strength instead of an attck roll or dex = not gonna work.
Aww man, on closer inspection all the special combat things are harder if you're small. Dammit. So much harder to be an awesome swashbuckler now. Normal attacking it is then.[/ooc]

[ooc]Come to think of it, maybe i should stop playing halflings so often - expecially combat front liner halflings.
Of my last bunch of characters, i've had
-halfling fighter barb
-halfling barb warlock
-feral halfling barb
-halfling knife thrower
-halfling fighter scout
-halfling swashbuckler

-gnome sorc
-orc cleric druid
-half orc fighter druid
-human monk warlock
-human monk sorceror
-human cleric necromancer

Lots of dulicate or almost duplicate characters there[/ooc]

[ooc]I'm not heroic - I brutally murder pagans and then eat their children.  What about that is heroic?  Anyways, I keep watching the fight.  This is entertaining to me.[/ooc]

Wensleydale

[ic]Aldabrat dodges the weapon with humiliating ease, and then jumps off the log, kicking it.[/ic]

[ooc]Trip attack. Ha HA!! :P

[ic]Aldabrat hits the log with a crack.[/ic]

[ooc]wow! a natural one on a roll with no modifiers. I thought there was no way i could fail against your 6.[/ooc]
 [ic]As the log rolls, Ilio attempts to leap gracefully off, but his foot catches in a small hole and he tumbles to the ground. He manages to turn it into a roll though and after a brief minute rolling across the ground, he leaps once more to his feet.
"Hey, very good. Improvisation is the mark of a true master. But what now? Do you follow through? Or did i stumble intentionally to trick you into overextending yourself? Are you able to properly read your opponent?"[/ic]
 [ooc]Tumble 15 feet back  [dice]1d20+10[/dice]
then stand up
bluff check about whether it was intentional [dice]1d20+10[/dice] [/ooc]
