Thanks for the run dgallaty. I note that Gloria can't use divine guidance for Brawk until after she has declared an oath on the target - but that's a pretty minor change that wouldn't make a difference at that point.
A bigger issue - but one which is a pitlord call is the positioning for Borgat. He is going for ranged attacks, so when he moves to (16,6), this is actually worse for him than moving to (16,7). At 16,6 - Brawk can move up and attack with no penalty whereas Borgat is attacking under a cover penalty at range.
Compare this to (16,7) - here Borgat is still firing under a cover penalty, but it also means that Brawk will be attacking under a cover penalty (or needs to suffer an OA in order to negate it). This position also makes it impossible for Gloria to get into position that round (or at least again without suffering an OA somewhere)
I don't ask for edits for pitlord positioning - because that would be pointless, but I hope you understand what I mean about it being a bad position to put myself in.

Fair point, and I understand what you mean.
To explain my thinking, I was going by the first line in your tactics: "The goal here is to try to keep Ruby out of melee", and so I thought that blocking the path to Ruby would be better than risking letting Gloria charge past Borgat. Gloria has a +4 to AC against OAs when she uses Whirlwind Charge, so it's reasonable to guess that Gloria might try it.

Aldrick wakes up, wincing "Ugh, damn trogg knew how to swing a club..." "Yeah, and I'll never get that horrid smell out of my nostrils!" Araris scoffs as he finishes the bandage for Aldrick's head. "I suppose my plan could have been better..." he begins to leave, muttering to himself. Aldrick rolls his eyes "No, I don't need any help getting up, thanks." "Sarcasm noted. You're the tough guy, deal with it." Too weary to retort, Aldrick slowly gets to his feet and follows his brother out of the arena. Thanks for pitlording dgallaty, closer than I would have liked but a win is a win

That is also a fair point and something I hadn't considered. Thanks for letting me know your thought process and I'll try to be more precise in the future.

Nil Braxis versus Sticky Situation is up. Near the end, I definitely cut corners - especially since Balin drops his javelin early in the fight and has it again suddenly nearer to the end. Movement at the end is also kind of freeform - but hopefully you can follow it. Let me know if you want more from it. I'm going to try to get the other fight done tomorrow.

Also i have a utility power to go invisible for my move specifically to dodge OA's, but yeah good run. Always fun to beat a team, that I think has an awesome build.

Thanks for pitlording Telin!
I dont' think I had much hope against this team - the unconscious was almost unavoidable with a 12 Will defense. Not to mention all the prone effects they impose (I probably should have been looser with the requirements for action points.) Still I don't think it was very possible to win the fight. These two are definitely designed for fast PvP fights; they lack healing, saves and buffing, so don't stack up well against a fistfull of minions and status effects.
Still very helpful to see how it played out!
