I think I'm outmaneuvered - not the end of the world. I don't have anything particularly fancy:
Start in default position, dogs in front
Rd 1: Order dogs to attack
Rd 2: Start singing inspire courage; move out with dogs (I assume they'll follow - if not, change initial order to heel, and then note that they automatically defend). Ideally keeping dogs between me and Ani.
When he's spotted, cast hideous laughter.
When combat starts, goal is having dogs flank (as pack hunters, I would hope they'd do this on their own), and at least one between me and Ani, and use whip to trip Ani; use all attacks and AoO's to trip him until there's only 1 dog left - then melee with sword until dead.
Should be simple; thanks for pitlording and have fun!
[Prefight locations and Initiative] Lady Fayne starts in area 1 at (2,31) with whip in hand. Initiative 22 -- Dog 1 starts at (2,32). Initiative 6 -- Dog 2 starts at (3,31). Initiative 9 -- Dog 3 starts at (2,30). Initiative 18 -- Dog 4 starts at (1,31). Initiative 6 Ani Reborn starts in area 4 and outmaneuver's Fayne to (14,14) with bow in hand. Initiative 11
[Round 1] @Eluria - "attack" requires a target to specify an attack to. Since no target is in sight, heel is the best option at the moment. Lady Fayne orders the dogs to heel [Handle Animal 20 vs DC10, success] [Listen 4 vs DC0, success] Dog 3 obediantly stays put. Ani, having heard roughly where Lady Fayne is, moves to (12,20) [MS -1 vs Listen 5] Dog 2 obediantly stays put. Dog 1 and 4 also stay put.
[Round 2] Lady Fayne begins singing a grand ol' show tune about the faithfulness of dogs and their masters and skips out to (2,26) Dog 3 follows to (2,25) Ani moves to (4,21) and spots Fayne and her dogs. He declares dodge on Fayne. Dog 2 moves to (3,26) Dog 1 moves to (2,27) Dog 4 moves to (3,27)
[Round 3] Lady Fayne casts hideous laughter on Ani [Will 26! vs DC14, success] Dog 3 stays put. Ani fires an arrow at Fayne [17 vs AC17+4, miss] Dog 2 defends Fayne and moves to (3,21) and attacks [17 vs AC18, miss] Dog 1 defends Fayne and moves to (3,22) and attacks [12 vs AC18, miss] Dog 4 moves to (4,22), provoking an AoO from Ani [6 vs AC17, miss] and then bites him [6 vs AC18, miss]
@Zireael - Ani is a monk - you should definitely list his unarmed strike in the attacks line - he almost didn't get an AoO because I didn't see it until the last second.
[Round 4] Lady Fayne moves to (2,23) and tries to trip Ani with her whip [20 vs AC16+1+4, miss] Dog 3 moves to (5,21) and bites at Ani [16 vs AC18, miss] Ani drops his bow, draws his sword and attacks Dog 1 [17 vs AC17, hit; Dmg 2d4+3=5] Dog 2 attacks [21 vs AC18, hit; Dmg 1d4+1+1=5] Dog 1 attacks [15 vs AC18, miss] Dog 4 attacks [25! (7-not confirmed) vs AC18, hit; Dmg 1d4+1+1=5]
[Round 5] Lady Fayne tries to trip Ani [20 vs AC16+1+4, miss] Dog 3 bites Ani [23 vs AC18, hit; Dmg 1d4+1+1=6] Ani attacks Dog 1 [9 vs AC17, miss] Dog 2,1,4 attacks [18,8,9 vs AC18, 1 hit; Dmg 1d4+1+1=6]

(14-not confirmed) vs AC18, hit; Dmg 1d4+1+1=3] Ani attacks Dog 1 [20 vs AC17, hit; Dmg 2d4+3=9] and then moves to (3,22), provoking from Fayne [8! vs AC16+1, miss] and the remaining dogs [16,17,11 vs AC18, miss] Dog 2 takes a 5ft step to (2,22) and attacks [20 vs AC18, hit; Dmg 1d4+1+1=3] Dog 1 bleeds [48% vs 91%, fail] Dog 4 attacks [25!

Pitch black should hopefully help here. Start off mounted on Silencia at the front of my starting area with my wand of divine favor in one hand and my bow in the other.
Start out by looking for ghost. With 120ft darkvision, he's going to have to rely on cover to stay hidden. Move out and ready faerie fire on him until the ready triggers (or if I see him, go ahead and faerie fire him directly).
Once the faerie fire triggers, use the wand and stow it and start firing arrows. My preference is to stay outside of his potential darkvision range, having him unable to use his dex bonus negates the benefit of cover - so that's fine with me.
Use Silencia for cover when needed.
If he loses his senses and comes to melee, use deadly touch and then attack with the rapier. If he manages to take out Silencia, keep distance from him and keep up the offense.
Start up against a pillar (say, the clockwisemostfrontmost one), pot of darkvision and powerstone of wallwalker; psicrystal actively listening (and using "sighted" ability
Rd 1: chameleon from memory; psicrystal moves out until ~10' from edge of my darkvision, in front, to let his "sighted" ability give some early warning for when Eranor is coming
Rd 2: walkwalker - walk up the pillar to ~20' height (out of range of lance+horse's height, melee weapons)
Rd 3: darkvision
Rd 4: vigor from dorje
Rd 5: stay hidden and wait to snipe (if delay penalty would happen, shout for him - I think if I manage to stay wall-walking, and it's ranged vs. ranged, with psionic shot and the dorje of vigor I'll win)
Attack with: snipe for Bow+Psionic shot (ideally +sneak attack +PBS) - use move actions to regain focus. Repeat until ineffective.
Once sniping ineffective:
--if it's a ranged fight, continue shoot (std) + move (regain focus) for as long as possible. If he's out of my darkvision range, have psicrystal move towards him and use it's sighted ability to pinpoint his square, and shoot w/ the 50% miss chance
--If below 16 hp, renew vigor from dorje
If have to get down from the wall, do so in the most strategically advantageous way possible to try to avoid getting charged, and make for the center; renew hide-and-snipe tactics, using hidden time to rebuff vigor and regain focus if possible.
Given his bigger move, and melee dominance, if unable to rehide and unable to keep it a ranged fight, 5' steps back and rapid shoot him until one of us dead; in the case of him meleeing me (or grappling) don't rebuff vigor from dorje.
[Prefight locations and Initiative] Eranor Illiscathia starts in area 1 with wand of divine favor and bow in hand. Initiative 17. Ghost starts in area 4 with potion of darkvision and powerstone of wallwalker in hand. Initiative 14.
Eranor Illiscathia : (31,56) 30/30 HP, 21 AC (17 flatfooted) Ghost: (8,35) 27/27 HP, 19 AC (16 flatfooted)
[Round 1] Eranor Illiscathia double moves to 24,47, readying faerie fire. It’s slow going; he may be able to see in the dark, but his mount cannot and must walk carefully. He is heard by Ghost, who knows him to be within 20’ of 23,49. Ghost manifests chameleon and sends Whisper out to 12,36, where it is seen by Eranor.
[Round 2] Eranor Illiscathia double moves to 16,39, readying faerie fire. He is seen by Whisper. Ghost uses the powerstone of wall walker, and walks up the pillar 7.5 feet.
[Round 3] Eranor Illiscathia double moves to 8,34,readying faerie fire, and sees Ghost (who does not see him). It is too late in the round to trigger the readied action, though. Ghost drinks the potion of darkvision, sees Eranor (who, very luckily for the rogue, had no hand free for a Deadly Touch AoO), gives a little yelp, and scrambles up another 15’.
Eranor Illiscathia : (8,34) 30/30 HP, 21 AC (17 flatfooted) Ghost: (8,35) 27/27 HP, 19 AC (16 flatfooted), chameleon ends 101, wall walker ends 32, darkvision ends long
[Round 4] Eranor Illiscathia uses faerie fire on Ghost. Ghost draws and uses his dorje of vigor.
[Round 5] Eranor Illiscathia uses and stows his wand while moving back to 6,23. (Pitlord note, I forgot to factor the spell into my earlier rolls, so I’m fixing them here but not in the roller.) Ghost has Whisper move to 6,27 to spot for him while he stows his dorje. After being told Eranor’s location, he shoots at the drow elf, but Eranor drops down to use his mount as cover, and the shot misses.
[Round 6] Eranor Illiscathia shoots at Ghost. The arrow coming out of the darkness takes the rogue by surprise, and he gets hit for 10 damage. Ghost regains psionic focus and shoots again. Eranor dodges easily.
[Round 7] Eranor Illiscathia shoots at Ghost again. The second arrow is just as much of a surprise when it comes as the first was, but Eranor’s aim isn’t as good, and it hits only a glancing blow for 3 damage. Ghost regains psionic focus and shoots again, but the drow dodges once again.
[Round 8] Eranor Illiscathia shoots at Ghost again, but the arrow bounces off the rogue’s armor. Ghost regains psionic focus and shoots again. Eranor isn’t able to drop down quite fast enough, and the rogue’s psionically imbued arrow slams into him for 13 damage.
[Round 9] Eranor Illiscathia shoots at Ghost again, hitting again with another glancing blow for 3 damage. Ghost tries to regain psionic focus, fails to do so, tries again, and succeeds.
[Round 14] Eranor Illiscathia shoots at Ghost again, hitting for 4 damage. Ghost decides that overlapping vigors isn’t worth it, and shoots at Eranor, but the drow manages to use his mount as cover again. The rogue then recovers psionic focus.
[Round 15] Eranor Illiscathia shoots at Ghost again, but it bounces off the rogue’s armor. The drow’s spell fades away. Ghost shoots again, but Eranor dodges easily. The rogue then unsuccessfully attempts to regain psionic focus.
[Round 16] Eranor Illiscathia shoots at Ghost again, but it bounces off the rogue’s armor again. Ghost tries to regain psionic focus, fails, tries again, and succeeds.
[Round 23] Eranor Illiscathia shoots at Ghost again, hitting for 8 damage. Ghost shoots at Eranor, but misses. His attempt to regain psionic focus is a failure as well.
[Round 27] Eranor Illiscathia shoots at Ghost again, hitting for 5 damage. Ghost shoots at Eranor, but misses again. He then tries to regains psionic focus, but fails to do so.
Eluria:I can’t seem to find anywhere you were warned, and it was clearly a mistake, so I was generous and let you include your psicrystal despite it not being in prefight actions. Next time, I won’t. TelinArtho: Please put in your fight cycle information, it’s a pain to have to look stuff up in other fights.
Ever want to try your hand at optimizing, but don't like excessive splatbook use? Come visit the Core Coliseum today, and give it a try.
Dark conditions provide 20% concealment and automatic hide ability - so finding Thanio is going to prove difficult. Might as well try hiding myself and hope that I can get in close before he starts firing.
Start off by manifesting force screen and keep Gnat on my shoulder, greatsword in hand. Look for Thanio and make sure to keep track of listen checks until we get within sighted range of the psicrystal. Once there, charge the location and stay in melee as much as possible. Expend focus on the first attack for psionic weapon. If he runs away, break LOS with him and refocus. If he stays and fights - keep fighting.
Begin in 3,31 or equivalent with bow and potion of SoF in hand. First round, tap chameleon and move to 10,31 o.e. Second round, drink the potion and move to 13,29 o.e. Third round, if I don't see him move to 12,21 or equivalent. Then wait for him to show up. Once he shows up, begin sniping. If he sees me, move to break LoS to rehide. If my SoF runs out, renew it. If it runs out again, do without.
One possible danger is that he'll use his psicrystal to spot for him. In order to avoid that, try to keep cover from the psicrystal if possible (don't sacrifice sniping for it, though, if the psicrystal is on The Bully's shoulder.) If that doesn't work, note that I still have total concealment from The Bully himself, giving a 50% miss chance and the loss of DEX bonus. If able to snipe, do so, otherwise (such as if within 10') 5' away and rapid shot and hope to take him out before he gets me.
If he is not attempting to grapple and I am at 17 or less hit points, rehide (withdrawing if needed) if spotted (even if he's using the psicrystal, the increased miss chance is worth it), and use my wand until at 18 or more, then continue fighting.
If grappled, what I do depends on my position how many hits I've gotten. If I've hit him at least 4 times (count crits as triple if I can tell which ones are crits), rage and try to attack unarmed to take him out before he takes me out. If not, rage and use grapple checks to try to escape the grapple and continue with my bow.
If he disarms my bow, use my axe. If he sunders it, use mending.
Bully acts first, starting in box 3, Gnat on shoulder, greatsword in hand. Thanio acts second, in box 1, with bow and potion of SoF in hand.
Rd 1: Bully: Manifests force screen, moves North Thanio: Taps chameleon, moves to 10,31
Bully: 39/39 AC 17+4, 1/2 PP, force screen (ends 11) Thanio: 26/26 AC 23, chameleon (long)
Rd 2: Bully: Double moves Thanio: Drinks SoF, moves to 13,29 – Bully hears him to the NW
Bully: 39/39 AC 17+4, 1/2 PP, force screen (ends 11) Thanio: 26/26 AC 23+2, chameleon (long), SoF (ends 23)
Rd 3: Bully: Double moves – near the end of his move, Gnat vibrates excitedly, sensing the humanoid shape of Thanio to the north! Bully squints, but sees naught but darkness Thanio: (note: sees Bully, because though the rolls don’t reflect it, Bully moved and has a hide penalty due to double moving; Re: tactics – Thanio doesn’t have cover from psicrystal, and says not to sacrifice sniping for psicrystal; has a chance to snipe now, due to darkness – so snipes) Hears Bully closing, and, squinting, just makes out the rushing form of the hulking half-giant; the elf aims his bow and fires! Hits for 7; rehide? Successful!
Bully: 32/39 AC 17+4, 1/2 PP, force screen (ends 11) Thanio: 26/26 AC 23+2, chameleon (long), SoF (ends 23)
Rd 4: Bully: Trusts the guidance of Gnat, charges the location, expending psionic focus, and slashes a mighty cleave: hits for 26, knocking Thanio to 0. Thanio: move action to draw wand of CLW (after round 5, realized this should provoke, as Wand is in Pocket, and retrieving a stored item provokes an AoO – rolled AoO: -- hits, 13 damage, kills Thanio) Rd 5: Bully: Attacks – miss Thanio: uses wand of CLW for 6, then moves, attempting to rehide (note: disabled does not say it drops you prone; also note: concealment does not deny AoOs to my knowledge), drawing an AoO (for leaving threatened square) – miss; Thanio completes his single move
Bully: 32/39 AC 17+4, 1/2 PP, force screen (ends 11), holding sword Thanio: 6/26 AC 23+2, chameleon (long), SoF (ends 23), holding bow and wand
Rd 6: Bully: (Gnat still “sees” Thanio) closes (does not provoke from Thanio as Thanio not holding a melee weapon) and (Spot +4 vs Hide +28, fail) Attacks – missing! Thanio: withdraws
Rd 7: Bully: heads in the only possible direction, then uses gnat to spot, basing Thanio: withdraws
Rd 8: Bully: heads out; when gets into center, know that if Thanio had gone towards the NE or SE exit, he’d still be in the center, so figures he must have gone back SW, and heads that way; gnat “sighted” ability again finding Thanio Thanio: (realizes that with equal moves, the limited movement options of the sewer, and Gnat’s sighted ability, Bully will continuously be able to follow and base – options are either start 5’ stepping and rapid shotting, move back and wand {drawing AoO for movement} or 5’ step and wand – 5’ step and wand seems closest to tactics of healing) – 5’ steps, uses wand for 8
Bully: 32/39 AC 17+4, 1/2 PP, force screen (ends 11), holding sword Thanio: 14/26 AC 23+2, chameleon (long), SoF (ends 23), holding bow and wand
Rd 9: Bully: 5’ steps forward, Gnat to pinpoint (spot +4 vs Hide +28 impossible, 50% miss chance), attacks – critical threat, not confirmed, hits for 12 (note: this roll was rolled at the end of round 8 by mistake) Thanio: (again, options are continue the interminable chase around in circles, unable to outrun or lose him, move 50’ and wand, drawing movement AoO, or 5’ step and wand – which seems best) – 5’ steps back and wands for 2
Bully: 32/39 AC 17+4, 1/2 PP, force screen (ends 11), holding sword Thanio: 4/26 AC 23+2, chameleon (long), SoF (ends 23), holding bow and wand

Ashtin will begin this battle with shield and Mindblade in hand, and he will have psionic focus and psychic strike prepared as per prefight activities. He will start in the corner of his starting area closest to center clockwise (35/55 in area 1), and wait the first 5 rounds to wait for and buffs that Illendil may use to wear off. If Illendil comes into sight during these first 5 rounds, then Ash will charge him while using psionic weapon to try to kill him in the first hit. If he still lives, Ash will charge psychic strike if it is not already charged (move action) and attack (standard action). Should Illendil flee, Ash will forgo charging his psychic strike to charge Illendil.
In the more likley case that Ash does not see Illendil in the first 5 rounds, he will begin circling the arena, staying close to the center and near any convenient cover while using Hide and Move silently to avoid notice. When they encounter each other, Ash will charge with psionic weapon and use the preceding method of attack.
Okay - let's go for a hopefully quick kill. Rob store for a dose of Drow poison.
Start off behind the left hand rock, with the dose of poison and an arrow.
Round 1 - dose up the arrow, draw his bow.
Wait for three rounds, see if I can find Ashtin with him coming to me. Stay hidden at the rock during that time.
If I see nothing for three rounds, start moving clockwise to the cluster of pillars on that side. If I am sighted, try to break LOS to hide. If not - use the next round to hide.
Basically, set up to snipe the arrow at less than 1 range increment. If I am hidden and able to make that happen - take it. After the arrow is fired, if he is still up, keep firing arrows until melee happens. If he passes out, move in and CDG with rapier.
If melee happens and I've not fired my arrow, take a step back and do so. After that, draw my rapier and start feinting/sneak attacking. It takes a standard action to feint since I don't have the appropriate feat, but the sneak attack damage and his reduced AC should be enough to offset that I'll only be attack every other round. When I do make an attack, use combat expertise for -2 to hit, +2 to AC.
I think that's it. He's going to cream me unless that arrow hits and knocks him out, but that's what I've got...
ROLLS Prefight: Illendil stealthily burglarizes the home of a rival, stealing a dose of Drow poison
Illendil acts first, starting in box 1, behind the left hand rock (his left), holding a dose of drow poison and an arrow Ashtin acts second, starting in box 4, in the clockwise corner closest to the center, holding his shield and mindblade (tingling with psychic striky-ness) and feeling quite focused.
Round 1: Illendil doses the poison, and draws his bow. Ashtin waits a bit.
Round 2, 3, 4: more waiting.
Round 5: Illendil, seeing nothing, starts moving clockwise (Pitlord: sighs), scurrying to the mild cover of the low rock, glancing about for his foe.
Ashtin still waits.
Round 6: Illendil moves again, sheltering in the pillars Ashtin decides to seek his foe, and begins circling the arena (by random chance, in a clockwise direction), trying to stay close to the center and near some cover.
(note: movement on map reflects Illendil’s moves in Rd 5 & 6, but Ashtin’s move from Rd 6 only, lest you be confused, ye who is reading this)
Rd 7: Illendil (Pitlord interpretation – specified movement to this area, and rehiding; did not specify further movement, and plan was to snipe – assuming Illendil wants to stay hidden in this pillar area) hides Ashtin circles clockwise (Pitlord interpretation – circling “close to the center” doesn’t sound like “in the center,” and using “convenient bits of cover” I am interpreting as this inner ring of rocks – if that is not what was intended, my apologies!)
Rd 8: Illendil (as wants to snipe, can’t ready to snipe since that’s a full round action, so simply waits) hides Ashtin continues to seek his foe
Rd 10: (The sparse groud of spectators starts to boo and grumble, not witnessing nearly the amount of blood shed they’re used to. Beer bottles rain down on the combatants, revealing their location within 20’ of their actual position {due to the inaccuracies of the crowd, and the great distance they are lofting their trash, they can’t all hit…}) Illendil moves to cover (hidden) and fires poison arrow at Ashtin, who is behind cover – and accidentally nicks his own hand with the poisoned arrow; gritting his teeth, the rogue resists the poison, though he feels it coursing through his veins… (note: extra hide/MS in this round b/c I thought Illendil could snipe, but he can’t, so ignore it)
Ashtin (too far to charge, and obstacles in the way; could move to cover, but that wouldn’t set up charge, and doing so may allow Illendil to use the cover to re-hide… because of this, Pitlord decision to try to get as close as possible and maintain LoS) double moves to get close to melee
Illendil 13/13 AC 19, poison (round 20) Ashtin 24/24 AC 21
Rd 11: Illendil fires an arrow, missing Ashtin charges, leaping forward with his mindblade, imbued with psychic strike and completely focused, unleashing his psionic weapon – <**** for 22, downing Illendil in a single mighty blow. just barely missing, slashing deeply into the Arena pillars instead, nearly toppling the thick granite monolith.

Plains is probably one of my better maps. Start off at the spot closest to the center with a potion of mage armor (CL1) and my dorje of vigor (ML2, aug). Screech will be on my shoulder. Share all spells except for the produce flame and vigor.
Round 1- drink the potion Round 2- use the dorje on Screech. If it doesn't work, just skip it. Draw the wand of Sonic Produce Flames Round 3- use the dorje on Arnaugh. If it doesn't work, just skip it. Stow the dorje. Round 4- use the wand on Screech for his bite Round 5- use the wand on Arnaugh. Round 6- Force Screen PLA Round 7- Defensive Precognition PLA
If able to finish buffing, move to 120ft of the nearest opponent and get an entangle out, catch as many opponents as possible.
If during this process, Lady Fayne's entourage is within 120ft, stop buffing and go for entangle. Catch all that I can in the effect. After entangle, start throwing flames at the dogs until they go down, focus on escaped dogs, wounded dogs, closest dogs first.
Rebuff produce flame from the wand as needed for Arnaugh only. If Screech's flames run out, he'll just continue to full attack.
Screech will fly out once Fayne is within charge range, but otherwise stays on Arnaugh's shoulder with a ready to attack anything that comes in reach.
Don't forget Arnaugh's SR versus Fayne's hideous laughter.
Stand if tripped.
Priority for Arnaugh is the dogs. Screech will focus on Fayne.
Goal: blind him, chip away. Important: try to avoid all of us being entangled at once
Start prone
Rd 1: Order 2 dogs to attack Arnaugh (repeat until succeed)
Rd 2: Order next 2 dogs to attack Arnaugh (repeat until succeed), stand
Rd 3: drink potion of prot good, advance (try to keep a dog between us for cover if possible)
Rd 4: advance, sing inspire courage
Continue singing until within range of blindness; then cast blindness
(interrupt all of the above /buffing to cast blindness as soon as he's in range)
Once cast blindness, get into whip range as fast as possible
Use whip to disarm wand - once disarmed, pick it up
Once have wand, UMD wand and kill him w/ sonic produce flames
If unable to disarm wand, whip trip and let dogs kill; continue this until there's only 1 dog left, then enter melee
Renew inspire courage if it expires
Note:
--If you'll rule that instructions have to be to all dogs, or to just one dog (I don't see why, can start with 2 on one side, face those two, order them, then turn and face the other 2, order them, etc), then just order each dog one at a time.
--Dogs as pack animals should know to flank; note that even if not ordered, dogs automatically defend
[Prefight locations and Initiative] (I mistakenly rolled 2 dogs under the wrong numbers. For technical reasons, I had to change the round to 1 to note the correction.) Dog 3 has initiative 17.

[Round 1] Dog 3 does nothing. Lady Fayne doesn’t know where Arnaugh is (having total cover from him), and so cannot designate to her dogs to attack him. Realizing that’s no way to win, she stands, sees Arnaugh, and commands Dog 1 to attack. Dog 4 does nothing. Dog 2 does nothing. Arnaugh Mindclaw drinks the potion, and manages to convey to Screech the concept of readying. Dog 1 double moves to 21,6. Screech readies.

Half-giants speak Common. Many also learn Giant. COMBAT Because of their giant ancestry, half-giants are able to use weapons sized for creatures larger than normal humans. They gain considerable satisfaction in using these large weapons in combat against their foes. Psi-Like Abilities: 1/day: stomp (DC 10). ML2. The save DC is Charisma-based. Fire Acclimated (Ex): Half-giants have a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against all fire spells and effects. Powerful Build (Ex): The physical stature of half-giants lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a half-giant is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the half-giant is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A half-giant is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A half-giant can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

Once he is in sight, get into melee - running if necessary, charging if possible. Use Psionic weapon on the first opportunity and after that - just attack in melee.
If he's trying to stay at range, use command to hopefully get him to drop his bow, otherwise resort to javelins.
Invisibility Purge if there's indications the opponent is invisible, otherwise use it for a cure spell. Silence should be converted to cure as well. Heal at half-hit points or less.

Rd 1: Drow poison an arrow
Rd 2: Drow poison arrow 2
Rd 3: Pot Prot Evil
Rd 4: Tattoo Force screen, stand
Rd 5+: double move closer until within 1 range increment
Fire Drow poison arrow at him. Repeat w/ 2nd arrow if he is still conscious.
If he's unconscious, CdG w/ greatsword
If hit with either arrow and he's conscious, tap tattoo of force screen, then get into melee w/ Turon and grapple him to death / use him for cover (please note secondary poison saves in that case).
If neither hit, get into melee w/ Turon, grapple until Turon dead, then use arrows to kill Vallgar.
Tough little bugger that he is - I think I've got a reasonable shot against him.
Start off at the default with a potion of mage armor and a scroll of Alter self (CL3, Trog). Turon should be in between me and the center of the plains.
Buffing: Mage armor from the potion, Alter Self from the scroll, Shield from memory, Spectral Hand from memory, then Bestow Curse into the hand and hold the charge.
During this time, Turon will take shots at Malyuk because he has nothing better to do and will always stay in between Vallgar and Malyuk so as to offer soft cover.
Once buffing is done, close in to a distance of 170ft or so and start touching with the spectral hand. The curse is a -4 to attack rolls, saves, ability checks and skill checks.
Once cursed, go for Ghoul Touch and repeat if the first one fails. If they both fail, go for chill touch (recall and repeat if needed). If Ghoul Touch works, have Turon intercept and CDG with his sword.
Turon is to shoot each round at Malyuk with his cold iron arrows unless Malyuk comes to melee. In that case, drop the bow, draw greatsword and attack in melee.
If Malyuk goes flying, that doesn't really change anything - Turon stays in between to offer some cover versus ranged attacks (as much as he can anyway), and Vallgar keeps up with the spells.
[Prefight locations and Initiative] Malyuk starts in area 1 (prone, as kneeling is insufficient to gain total cover) with drow poison and 2 arrows in hand. Initiative 22. Turon starts with bow in hand. Initiative 13. Vallgar the Unhinged starts in area 2 with potion of mage armor and scroll of alter self in hand. Initiative 6.

Ever want to try your hand at optimizing, but don't like excessive splatbook use? Come visit the Core Coliseum today, and give it a try.
Well, I luck out that there's only one roll that would give me a small and a tiny opponent. I lose out on the fact that I have terrible HP and not enough time to buff against two speedy flying opponents...
Start off at the default square with Screech on my shoulder, wand of Produce Sonic flames (CL3).
Round 1 - manifest defensive precognition PLA, handle Screech to defend (if either opponent is in sight - order Screech to attack instead) Round 2 - manifest force screen PLA. Round 3 - use the wand.
Start throwing flames at the target not engaged with Screech (if Screech is taken down, go for the one shooting rays at me...). If I am engaged before I am done buffing, try to break LOS or otherwise move to cover (from the ranged attacks).
Renew flames when needed. If something provokes an AOO from me, use a flame touch.

Round 0 Arnaugh starts in square B and goes last with Screech (going second) on his shoulder and his wand of produce (sonic) flames out. Arrowhawk goes first and starts in box C, with Pseudo dragon one space to his left and going third.
Round 1 Arrowhawk moves double moves to the center to get a view of the map and is flying 15' up. Without any cover to hide behind, Arnaugh is spotted. The pseudo dragon follow the Arrowhawk to the center and sees them as well. Arnaugh sends off his eagle to distract the coming foes while he himself huddles in the shadow of the nearest statues to manifest defensive precocgnition. Arnaugh 12/12 hp AC 18 (touch 18) (23,29) Screech 5/5 hp AC 19 (touch 13) (27,27) Arrowhawk 16/16 hp AC 20 (touch 16) (15,16) 15' flight Pseudodragon 15/15 hp AC 18 (touch 14) (16,16) 15' flight
Round 2 The Arrow hawk sees the delicious eagle and move to attack, but its ray fizzles, doing a minimial 2 damage. Screech moves to attack back, but barley misses. The Pseudodragon moves to eliminate the eagle, and stings it for only 1 damage, but the posion sets in, and Screech falls from the sky, asleep. The 15' fall would have awoken him, except that he landed headfirst for 6 damge, knocking him out cold (-4/5 hp) Arnaugh winces at the loss of his friend, but stays behind the statues to protect himself from the same fate and manifests force screen. Arnaugh 12/12 hp AC 22 (touch 18) (23,29) Screech -4/5 hp AC 19 (touch 13) (dying) (22,23) Arrowhawk 16/16 hp AC 20 (touch 16) (21,22) 15' flight Pseudodragon 15/15 hp AC 18 (touch 14) (22,22) 15' flight
Round 3 The arrowhawk, no longer seeing any threat to its territory (no line of sight to Arnaugh) moves down to 5' above Screech to eat the delicious meal so kindly provided for it, doing another 5 damage to the eagle. Despite the chunk taken out of it, Screech stabilizes at -9/5 hp. The pseudodragon, not so easily distracted, moves to where Arnaugh was, sees him, and moves to attack, but misses outright. Arnaugh, in response, uses his wand to produce flames. He stays where he is, however, to retain cover from the Arrowhawk. Arnaugh 12/12 hp AC 22 (touch 18) (23,29) Screech -9/5 hp AC 19 (touch 13) (stable) (22,23) Arrowhawk 16/16 hp AC 20 (touch 16) (22,23) 5' flight Pseudodragon 15/15 hp AC 18 (touch 14) (24,29)
Round 4 The arrowhawk notices the combat and moves to where Arnaugh was and attacks with his ray after moving to a safty range of 15'. The ray zaps Arnaugh for 9 damage. (note, subtracted 4 in retrospect for firing into melee, but it still hit) (3/12 hp) The Pseudo dragon tries again to sting, and gets in a luky strike for 1 damage. The poision quickly sets in, and Arnaugh collapses, alseep. (2/12hp) He witholds his bite for the stronger bite of his companion. Arnaugh sleeps peacefully. Arnaugh 2/12 hp AC 22 (touch 18) (helpless) (23,29) Screech -9/5 hp AC 19 (touch 13) (stable) (22,23) Arrowhawk 16/16 hp AC 20 (touch 16) (27,29) 15' flight Pseudodragon 15/15 hp AC 18 (touch 14) (24,29)
Round 5 The Arrowhawk move into melee and bites for 2 damage, waking him, but disabling him. (Note, accidentally rolled in wrong round. After reading the rules, I noticed that I should have just used this roll instead of resetting, so I rerolled damage for the original hit instead of the the new one, and it brought Arnaugh down to 0 hp, so I'll quickly finish) Pseudodragon attacks, but misses. Arnaugh throws fire at the Arrowhawk, doing 4 damage, but falling unconscious from the strain.
Arnaugh -1/12 hp AC 22 (touch 18) (dying) (23,29) Screech -9/5 hp AC 19 (touch 13) (stable) (22,23) Arrowhawk 12/16 hp AC 20 (touch 16) (27,29) 15' flight Pseudodragon 15/15 hp AC 18 (touch 14) (24,29)
