This is a separate thread fight for Vathilia Xilodon (Yitzi) vs Al'Tiar (Uknits). If you are not myself or one of them, please reserve all comments for the Fights of the Week thread.

This thread takes place in the Sewers, where the lighting is Pitch Black.

Please post items in hand, starting positions within boxes, and initial actions taken.

Al'Tiar Show


Al'Tiat enters the sewers, ignoring the stench.  He holds his wand of resist energy in his bucklered hand and a scroll of mage armour in the other.  Gasn sits stoicly on his shoulders.  

Round 1, start at 2,2 and use the wand for resist electricity before stowing it.  Round 2, use the scroll of mage amour, sharing.  Next, share a mirror image and draw expedious retreat.  Use that scroll and draw my bow.  Next, cast dancing lights for torchlight.  I have 4x vision, so I can see 80' around it clearly and 160' with shadowy illumination while Vathillia and dogs only see 40' clearly and 80' with shadows.  Place it so they can fly out to 14, 15.  

If no detection has occured yet, move out to 12,13 while moving my lights to 26,22 to keep out of Vathillia's ability to see me while still being able to see myself.

If no detection has occured by now, I will give further instruction at that point.

Vathilia Show
Begin as shown, with scroll of resist energy in hand (though I can't read it without light.)

Head out to the west, heading to the center.  Grrer and Arooo will double move (Grrer in front of Vathilia, Arooo behind), though slowed both by difficult terrain and darkness (I calculate 5 squares with a double move)  Vathilia is not restricted by difficult terrain for most of it, so she will single move and active listen (for both active and passive listening, don't forget the favored enemy bonus, or Alertness from her familiar.)  The pets should slow down to keep pace with Vathilia when necessary.
Continue like that until either Vathilia reaches the center box, or she detects something (either seeing light of some sort, or hearing Al'Tiar.)

You'll have to produce the light source before casting from scroll since it's pitch black - I'll presume that's what you want to do.

Whoops, sure.  Go ahead and move dancing light earlier, then.

Round 1: The combatants do some stuff in each of their starting areas.

Round 2:

Vathilia's ridiculously sharp ears hear casting from area 2 (on her passive roll, so you still have a full round of actions):

Vathilia will have her pets stay where they are and move alone to 21,22, then continue to active listen until she either sees some light, or hears Al'Tiar at a location with a coordinate 13 or higher (i.e. anything that's in, north, or east (or northeast) of that center open area).  But show all the locations that I hear him at.

Vathilia moves forwards and sees light (the inner radius is bright, the outer shadowy, since you have low-light vision).



You still have a standard action left.

Actually, I think that having Arooo stay might have taken a move action.  But if not, Vathilia will move back to where she was, and then let's see what happens next round.

No, you're right; I always forget about that.
