Storyline Nyphanalith is a strange being, a short humanoid bearing primitive garb hailing from the woodlands. Despite the mask always covering his face, judging by the reptilian limbs poking out from his clothing and statue he is a kobold. The Mask of the Setting Sun, as it is known by its proper name, is part of Nyphanalith's unusual reverence and accord with the Moon, of which he believes he draws power from more than any other spectacle of nature. The Mask of the Setting Sun is rumored to have mystic powers associated with it, but Nyphanalith keeps any information about it as mysterious as the Moon itself in the night sky.
After 5 fights Oh no! Zaqh'fool has gone missing just in time for the Eclipse, a rare and special ritual night! Nyphanalith won't stand for it. Enlisting the services of Ruffles the crocodile, he goes on an expedition for the Unevolved Green Wyrmling. When he finally comes across Zaqh'fool, he has... evolved! And grown hostile, at that. But in no time flat the masked kobold subdues the grown wyrmling and brings him safely home.
- +2 Strength, +2 Constitution, -2 Dexterity: Half-giants are tough and strong, but not too nimble. - Giant: Half-giants are not subject to spells or effects that affect humanoids only, such as charm person or dominate person. - Medium: As Medium creatures, half-giants have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. - Half-giant base land speed is 30 feet. - Low-Light Vision: A half-giant can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. - Fire Acclimated: Half-giants have a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against all fire spells and effects. Half-giants are accustomed to enduring high temperatures. - Powerful Build: 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. - Naturally Psionic: Half-giants gain 2 bonus power points at 1st level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class. - Psi-Like Ability: 1/day-stomp. Manifester level is equal to 1/2 Hit Dice (minimum 1st). The save DC is Charisma-based. - Automatic Language: Common. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Giant, Gnoll, Ignan. - Favored Class: Psychic warrior. - Level Adjustment: +1

Tueor was always a big guy, raised in a human comunity. When he was young he was made fun of for his size, which he would use to quiet the insults. He quickly became a trouble maker and was feared by all the other rough groups. One day however, a group of bandits broke into his families house, killed Tueors parents, and stole all thier belongings before his eyes. This tramautized him and he ran off into wilderness alone. Afew years latter he emerged as a large man, but one filled with compassion for all living things. For years he wandered around spreading his love to the world. Then he arrived in Gladius. He was shocked by the huge city and the gladiatorial matches. Why would people fight each other so much? His large frame was quickly noticed by those with an interest in gladiators and he was smoothtalked into joining. He now fights to spread his word of love to the thousands of people who watch the fights. Character Build Consultation provided by: CoCo Elder, LLMadCow
Not only did neither gladiator send me tactics, but only one of them had defaults. And even then only 5 words of tactics in the default tactics. Shortest match EVER, because the winner won by 5 words.

Buffs and Prefight actions: Bring Hugs (Animal companion) and command him to heel. Bring Net and Trident and command them to heel (CR1 each) Recall Bull's Strength with a Pearl of Power (2nd)
Zax does not like head on confrontation and uses Hugs to act as an emissary for him - to extract the lungs of his opponents.
Hugs will begin at Zax's left side always with the heel command pre-buffed. Once Zax spots his enemy, he'll change that to an attack or, more likely, a pin command.
Buffing sequence: short and sweet - Bull's strength on Hugs. Entangle will be used to entrap speedy opponents, but most of the time, Zax will use Produce Flame.
If Hugs goes down, it is extremely likely that Zax will forfeit the fight at that point in order to save his companion (the one thing in the world he actually cares about...).
Trident and Net are usually used to protect Zax from harm, so he usually only sends them in to fight when Hugs has already engaged the opponent - especially if the opponent is now grappled or pinned.

Zax's tactics vs Gundmir, Blizzard and Weapon (Hunter fight)
My druid in the city... well let's see what I can do.
Let's start off at the default of my starting area with nothing in hand. Hugs will be in the front corner and Net and Trident beside me.
In round 1, cast Bull's Strength on Hugs and set out in a clockwise direction. Hugs should lead the way, Zax will be behind him and both Net and Trident will keep to Zax's side.
After that it depends on who I find.
1. Gundmir - oh Happy Day. Cast Hold Animal on his horse and order my pets to attack Gundmir (Pin for Hugs, attack for the other two). If the hold doesn't work, or if the horse breaks out before Hugs and company have reached Gundmir, chase him down. Once Hugs gets Gundmir into a grapple, he will try to pin; while grappling Net and Trident will be attacking Gundmir. They will only attack the horse if the horse is making attacks against them and Gundmir is dead. Since Net's web attack is a part of his natural attacks - having shoot a web or two at a target is reasonable.
2. Blizzard - ignore him unless Weapon is known to be dead or unless Gundmir is already dead. If my tactics call for fighting him - same orders for pin (Hugs) and attack (Net and Trident).
3. Weapon - if Weapon finds me before I am ready to engage her, have Net try to web her and get out of dodge. If she continues to be a problem, send Hugs to pin. If she is currently my target (if the other two are dead), follow my tactics from above - pin and attack (as before).
Contingencies:
1. Most important - if Hugs goes down and is not completely dead - immediately surrender and cast Cure Minor wounds on him. 2. If Gundmir is enlarged (and by definition not on his horse), the tactics do not change - except do not cast Hold Animal on his horse in this case. If I do not cast Hold Animal against Gundmir, Zax will contribute against the other opponents with Produce Flame if possible.
Notes:
1. Hugs is a large creature with natural reach. Grapple attempts should not provoke AoO because of this.
That's pretty much it. Let me know if you have any questions.
Tactics for Gundmir Guldesdep in hunter fight 3/1/07
Hello, and thanks for pitlording!
The plan (such as it is) is to hunker down for a few rounds in my starting position while the other gladiators fight each other, then buff minimally and attack the survivors in melee.
Setup: Start in the default position with a scroll of shield in hand, mounted on the horse.
Buff Sequence: Round 1) Full defense (do nothing). Round 2) Full defense (do nothing). Round 3) Full defense (do nothing). Round 4) Shield of Faith from memory on self. Round 5) Virtue from memory on self. Round 6) Guidance from memory on self. (Use on next attack roll or save) Round 7) Shield from scroll on self (don't forget to roll ASF for Gundmir's plate armor). Round 8) Ride out and seek melee battle.
The Plan: There's really not much of a plan; there are too many characters and too many contingencies to plan for. Just try to attack in melee against the weakest-seeming character first, or do whatever else seems like a good idea. I see in your signature that you want your characters played in accordance with their Int and Wis stats, so I'm confident you'll do right by Gundmir (Int 14, Wis 19). I don't think he can win this, so I'd rather not spend more in the way of expendables or prepared spells than I've outlined above, and it'd be nice if the horse survived. On the other hand, if the situation evolves such that a couple other characters drop and Gundmir thinks there's at least a 50% chance of victory, go ahead and use any and all available resources.
These tactics are in addition to the general tactics listed on my sheet.
Start me nearest any visible balconies from my starting box, or if none than nearest the center, with nothing in hand.
To start, immediately proceed to the nearest balcony and attempt to climb up into it.
Assuming I am successful, from here, I am just going to stay put and fire my sling at anything that moves. If I have a choice, my order of attack should be Weapon>Zax>Gundmir>anything else.
I am content to run myself out of sling bullets from up here, if no one tries to join me. Plink them to death. If, however, one or more parties tries to climb up to join me on the balcony, once they get halfway up (10 ft), ready an action to bull rush them off of the balcony just before they reach the top. The nice thing here is that I will provoke an AoO doing this, but only someone with a weapon that doesn't have to be held can take it, which means the only ones who can are those with natural attacks, such as the druid's pets, or a caster with a held spell. If I succeed on the bull rush, this should knock them back to the ground, causing them to take falling damage. If not, then they can join me on the balcony.
Keep the above strategy up for as long as I am alone on the balcony. When someone does make it up to the balcony with me, at that point draw my adamantine waraxe and attack in melee normally. If I kill someone/something in melee on the balcony, return to the above ranged tactic until it is interrupted.
If I run out of bullets and I still have viable opponents, then climb down, draw the adamantine waraxe, and go looking for trouble, using the same order of attack as above. Hopefully I won't go through all my bullets, however.
If I get grappled, (most likely by something enlarged), just the attack an opponent action to make melee attacks with unarmed strikes vs their AC at a -4 penalty.
Now, if I get engaged before I am able to climb up to the balcony, then attack in melee normally with the adamantine waraxe until such time as either the thing attacking me is dead or gone, or I am dead. If I am able to, after this happens, proceed with the climbing tactic above as my earliest convenience.
Hopefully that covers it. If you have any questions PM me.
Sorry if this seems complicated, lots of folks to keep track of.
(Note on notation: pp = power points, +x”s” means levels of wild surge. In other words, 3pp+2s means “three power points plus two levels of wild surge augmentation.”
Main tactic: Plink away with crossbow from rooftop. If no target sighted, make one active spot check and use the other to move to another corner of the rooftop, taking 10 on the balance check. Bring out the energy cannon only at specified times. If psionic focus is lost and I’m not in melee or within charge range of it, take a full-round action to gain focus as necessary if all targets are beyond close range. Tumble to avoid AOOs. When/if I get forced to the ground against Blizz or Gundmir, use the hedge for cover.
My crossbow target priorities are as follows: 1.) Zax Kar. Ignore all of his followers. 2.) Blizzard, if/when he gets within 100 feet of me. 3.) Gundmir. 4.) Blizzard, when not within 100 feet.
A quick note on the reasoning behind this to try to shed more light on carrying out this tactic. I’ve got enough PP firepower to drop any one of them individually, but I can’t take on all three or even two of them fully healthy. The goal is to attempt to plink a little damage myself while waiting for the most advantageous and efficient time to toss the e-ray.
Consumables: Eat as many ML2 e-ray powerstones as necessary after I very likely run out of pp. Reserve the ML4, Synesthete and the Recall Agony stones – in fact, I don’t even really want to use Recall Agony at all in this fight. Any other ones, well, if it seems like a good time to try it and you think my mental stats justify thinking out of the box (unlikely,) go for it.
When to burn: * With the exception of Blizzard, make all energy rays fire. For Blizzard, make it electricity if he hasn’t engaged me in melee yet, fire otherwise. * From the time that I see Zax, wait no more than three rounds for him to come within range of extended energy ray. (70 feet before wilding) If he doesn’t approach within that timeframe, jump off the roof, making a tumble and jump check to try to negate damage (if skate is still active, remember to add +6 to the jump result.) When he gets in range and I’ve hit him three times with the xbow, give him a 1pp +2 surge fire e-ray. If I’ve hit him 1-2 times or he is already wounded, 2pp+2s. If he appears uninjured, 3pp+2s. If I drop him and I’m on the ground, get back to the roof if I’m not in immediate danger. After I hit him with one, 1pp+1s until he’s dead. * Don’t use the e-ray against someone who’s not my target. Head for the city square. * For Gundmir, if I’m above 5pp, use a 2pp+2s then a 1pp+2s. If I hit with both rays and he’s still up, 1pp+1s. Below 5pp, 1pp+2s. * For Blizz, if I’m above 5pp, use 4pp+2s, then 1pp+2 until he’s dead. Below 5pp, 2pp+2s if possible, then 1pp+2s.
Contingencies: * If I get a disembodied weapon on me, break LOS to Gundmir. * If I get grappled, make one attempt to escape artist, then start trying to manifest in the grapple with 1pp+2s surges. If I’m out of pp, escape and scramble for the powerstones! * If I get brought down below 12 real hp, 1pp+1s vigor if I have the pp, powerstone it if I don’t. * Remember my surging euphoria! +1 hit, saves, damage rolls in the round after a successful surge. * If Gundmir and me are the last two standing and he’s big, shoot him once with the crossbow before doing any burning. *If he’s not the last target and Blizz is or is positioning to climb up for me, move away from him and when he gets on the roof, jump down and head for the center of the city square. * If Hugs is bleeding and Zax hasn’t surrendered, CDG him with the xbow.
Start Routine: Start in corner with scaffolding with powerstone of skate in hand.
Round 1: Activate skate, climb scaffolding (should get 10 feet).
Round 2: Finish climbing, walk on roof to corner with most advantageous view of the center, taking ten on the balance checks. I don’t think there should be any violence in round 2 that would force me to make the rolls, but roll if I have to.
Round 3: Draw and activate powerstone of vigor.
Round 4: If no targets seen, move (again, taking 10) and draw crossbow as part of movement; take standard to load it. Otherwise, shoot what I see according to target prioritization.
Round 5: Shoot and load. If no targets, take an active spot and move. If two or three targets are in sight and they’re not engaging me, draw and activate stone of offensive prescience and resume sniping. Continued Just remembered something - I lose my dex modifier when on the roof. That's bad. Instead of going to the roof, stay near the hedge facing the square and snipe alternating moving and shooting - i.e., in one round, have cover, shoot and move to break LOS (hedge is 5', I'm 3'something round two, load crossbow and move back to edge of hedge, rinse and repeat.
If you'd rather me redo the whole thing, that's OK as well; I'm just dead tired atm or I would. But I think that can be replaced fairly well. No need to redo in entirety, I can adapt what you have sent.

On most maps, Jar-red will first buff with appropriate potions, change shape into animal form and then seek out his opponent.
Once in animal form, Jar-red will seek out his opponent efficiently with his 70ft movement. If possible, he will close to melee with a charge (even turning once with his fleet of foot feat) and pounce. If he can set up to pounce, he will rage during that action.
If the opponent is likely to be a flyer, Jar-red will still try to engage in melee - by jump-attacking when possible. On a running jump, he can achieve as much height as (35+20=55/4=13ft) someone starting 10ft above him. If the opponent is flying above this height, he will either change back to hybrid form or stay in that form to start with.
I'm hoping this goes nice and easy. Let's start with two potions in hand - invisibility and protection from good. In round 1, drink the potion. From round 2-x, run towards my opponent until I am within charge range in animal form (~140ft). Now drink the potion of protection from good. Shift to animal form. Set up to charge, and pounce on my opponent. My jump check in animal form is high enough to auto-succeed a long jump over any obstacle in the plains map.
Once I get into melee - do not let up. Full attack until he is dead. If he moves far enough away to receive another charge - punish him for it.
For the duration of the fight, specify Valen as my dodge target.
Special: If he brings his horse with him, I'm going to have to kill it. Instead of buffing, stow my potions and draw my bow. Fire at the horse from my starting area until it is killed, moving closer each round until I am at 250ft. After the horse is downed, proceed with the above tactics.
That's it. He can probably try to use entangling ectoplasm on me - but it'll be after the pounce attack - so I'm not too concerned about it - especially since I can still outrun him once his mount is killed...

Always try to Dispense with Displays (I.e. hide manefestation) (DC 15 + level of the power Concentration check) Always hold breath when within an area of effect containing smoke. Always stow equipment. Share all buffs with Quartz when in range.
Roll a 1d4 die. This determines which of the following tactics to use. Roll a 1d6+4 die. This is the number of rounds to use this tactic for. After that duration, roll the 1d4 die and repeat.
Buffs: In general, try buffing Animal Affinity-Dex (3pp), Force Screen (1 pp), Offensive Precognition (1 pp), and Offensive Prescience (1pp). Use any remaining pp for entangling ectoplasms as needed. If stealth comes up under the random tactics first, don't buff Prescience, instead do Chameleon (3pp).
More Specific Tactics: 1: Ranged: Valen mounts on Lightning. Quartz drives Lightning. Stay at range and shoot, using Rapid Shot when possible.
2: Stealth: Break LOS, hide. Attempt to snipe with bow, or hide, fire, and move to total cover.
3: Melee: Mount up on Lightning, charge opponent with Greatsword. Dismount, and flank. Quartz has Lightning full attack. Valen attacks with Greatsword.
4: Skirmish: Utilize Spring attack to move in and out of melee range. Use Entangling Ectoplasm to slow the opponent down. Sunder any ranged weapons.
Modifications: If it helps, use the delay action: I.e. if Valen is shooting into melee, delay until after Lightning has made a standard attack and move, or after Lightning has used the Withdraw manuever so as to avoid the -4 penalty.
Fight Setup Valen will begin with both quivers of 20 silver arrows in his hands. He will be sitting on lightning. Quartz will be mounted on Lightning and will officially be guiding Lightning. Lightning will begin such that he can immediately run towards any corner (i.e. placed towards the center the map).
Main Tactic: Buff, Entangle, shoot.
Round by Round Start: 1st Round: Valen will manifest Animal Affinity - Dex +4 for 3pp. He will then take a move action to put one quiver of silver arrows on.
If Valen is on the same edge as Jar-red, Quartz will delay until after Valen has cast, then use run action with Lightning towards the corner farthest from Jar-red.
2nd Round: If Lightning ran last turn, he will take a single move action this turn. Valen will delay until Lightning has made his double move (not run), towards the far corner if necessary. Manifest Offensive Precognition (+2 to hit) for 4pp. (Auto-success on concentration for 1st level power while double moving on a mount). Valen will use a move action to put the other quiver of silver arrows on.
3rd Round: If Jar-red is still beyond charging range, manifest Force Screen for 1pp. Draw bow as a move action. Go to main tactics if he is.
4th Round: If Jar-red is still beyond charging range, manifest Offensive Prescience (+2 to damage) for 1pp. Go to main tactics if he is.
Detailed Tactic: 1st Priority: If Jar-red is in animal form and charging range, ready an action to manifest entangling ectoplasm (1pp) on him once he comes within 30'. If he's already within 30', just manifest it on him. Draw bow as a move action if not already out.
If Jar-red is in Hybrid form with his longbow, you may need to approach. Feel free to use a run with Lightning combined with Valen manifesting after the run via delay (since as far as I know, he is still allowed a standard attack in that case). Use the Psionic Focus to auto-succeed the concentration check.
Continue to do the above everytime entangling ectoplasm wears off. Use powerstones if necessary.
2nd Priority: If Jar-red is in animal form and entangled. Use lightning to stay around 100' away and standard action shoot Jar-red with silver arrows. Make sure to be farther away than 140' when the entangle wears off or make sure Valen has a readied action to manifest entangling ectoplam on Jar-red coming within 30' (i.e. don't let Jar-red get a free charge in).
If Jar-red is in Hybrid form using the bow and entangled, get off Lightning. and send Lightning to safety at a distance (run if necessary, and use the delay action if necessary to get it done in one round). Try to stay between 25-30' and single shoot Jar-red. If he switches to Animal form, draw and manifest skate, while also keeping distance (and keep in mind the entangle countd own.) Use a move, draw, move, manifest if necessary to avoid full attacks. Also, Lightning can come back and meet up to provide additional mobility.
Backup Plan: Draw admantine greatsword, manifest skate and spring attack melee, while trying to keep Jar-red entangled.
Modifications -Use the Psionic Focus to manifest defensively, when damaged, or while in a grapple if necessary. (15 Concentration check). -If Valen is on foot and Jar-red is in animal form and entangled, draw and use a stone of skate. Its acceptable to take a single attack in this case, but not a full attack. -Remember to use Spring attack (with Armor spikes if need be) to avoid AoOs -Use the Adamantium Greatsword (Rather than the silver dagger from the pack) since even with DR/5 it does more damage on average. -If Force Screen and/or Offensive Prescience are not up, get to range and manifest them once Jar-red is entangled. -Use the silver Javelins if out of arrows. Remember you can pick them back up since they're not destroyed on a hit or miss. -Manifest Vigor for enough to get Valen above 15 hp if his hit points drop to 15 or less.
Important Notes -Valen, Quartz's and Lightning's weight with the packs put's Lightning's speed at 40', not 60'. Because Valen will be taking 2 quivers of arrows out, even if the bags get dropped, they're still in the medium encumbrance category until Valen drops ~6 lbs of other stuff (or the additional arrows get mostly shot.) -Valen has 14 pp total available for this fight.
Gundmir starts box 2 mounted, scroll of shield in hand. Weapon starts box 1 nearest hedge cover with powerstone of skate in hand. Zax starts in box 4 empty handed with Hugs in front and Net/Trident flanking. Bizzard starts in box 3 empty handed looking for balconies.
Note that Net is not actually an area effect spell. I am just using that marker to indicate his space.

Gundmir rides to Weapon and attempts to seperate his head from his shoulders with the greatsword. (Ride, 1d20=15+1=16; Attack 1d20=18+8+1G=27, hits for 13). Weapon takes a 5' step and surges a 1pp+2s fire e-ray at Gundmir (Enervation=5, enervated; Ranged touch 1d20=18+9=27, hits for 3d6=9+3=12).

- Stonecunning: +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.
- Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.
Durin was a young dwarf in an underground village, and was decided to become a sage, despide his good physical condition. Then, one day, the village was threatened by a group of tribe giants. The first attack almost compleatly wiped out the village's defence. The dwarves were waiting for the second attack to surely wipe them out, but the rescuers came in time. A group of dwarven adventurers with great psychic poweres and the ability to activate great pysical power in combat. They awaited the giant's at the gates and killed them all.
Durin was impressed and decided to ignore the way, that was choosen for him and went of to learn their way of mental power and war.
Arden starts in the default position, holding his powerstone of force screen.
General tactics: Buff hp and AC, kill his horse, hit him with Crystal Shards, and try to finish him with physical attacks.
Round 1: Manifest Vigor (1pp + 2 surge, 15 temp hp) from memory, move behind a statue. Round 2: Use powerstone of Force Screen, drop stone and draw greatsword. Round 3: Manifest Defensive Precognition (2pp + 2 surge, gets me +2 insight to AC and saves) from memory. Round 4+: 5’ step out from behind statue, ready to attack the horse when it comes within melee range using psionic weapon (+8 for 4d6+4 damage).
Round X+: Once we begin our fight, I’ll probably need to attack the horse again, so do so. After that, start hitting him with 1pp + 2 surge Crystal Shards until I run out of pp – manifest defensively will obviously be needed, but with +10 vs DC 16 I’m reasonably confident I can make those checks. And after that, all I can really do is keep on swinging and hope I hit him hard enough to bring him down before he does so to me.
Notes - Arden has a 10% enervation chance whenever he uses Wild Surge. - Remember Defensive Precognition boosts my touch AC as well. - Whenever Arden is tripped, stand before making an attack. - If Arden fails a check to manifest defensively, remember he simply loses the power, his foe does not get an AoO!
Conditionals - If Durin is enlarged, ignore the horse and go for him first instead. Still open with the Crystal Shards (if I get the opportunity, switch my ready to hitting him this as soon as he comes within my 40’ range; and also use my focus on a take 15 concentration check with one of those), but the attacks after that may require a bit of alteration. If hes using a reach weapon and keeping me at 20’, 5’ step back out of that reach, switch to my Bow, and fire. If hes keeping me at 15’, 5’ step towards him, switch to my Guisarme, and swing for the fences. If I’m closer than that, still use my Greatsword. - If for some reason he decides on ranged combat – well, I’ll count my blessings. Use my bow to down his horse, then hit him with Crystal Shards (if possible) and fire away with the bow.
And that’s what I’ve got. This doesn’t look good – Durin having expansion and being a Dwarf gives an edge in the tripping department I don’t have, and of course that horse is a pain. I’ll need some serious luck on trips and Crystal Shards to win this. What I wouldn’t give for this fight to be at next level, when I have Improved Disarm and Psionic Meditation… ah well, thanks for running the fight!
Bwa - Durin is not to much into politics. Okay, politicians with a greatsword are somewhat cooler then the rest, but he will smack him nevertheless.
Start mounted, innermost, with Greataxe and Powerstone 2. Manifest Force-Screen and ride out. If I don't find him in round 2, manifest Precognition, Offensive at the beginning of round 3 (drop the stone after this. Obviously drop it, too before attacking.).
Attack and use combat expertise 3, if he is attacking me (none, if he is attacking Sleipnir). Ride for cover, if needed. Use Trip attacks, if I find his AC to be buffed higher then 22.
Rage, if I fall below 20 HP, use Trip attacks once I fall so low. Use Psionic weapon on the first attack vs. prone (usually the AoO for him standing up).
Well, looks simple but in fact it is simple. Simply kill him with the Greataxe in the most efficient way.
Arden starts in box 2 holding powerstone of force screen, default position. Durin starts in box 3 mounted holding a powerstone and his great axe, innermost position.

Round 8 Jar-red smears the oil all over himself, fading from view [color=GRAY]{Stan}. He moves forward again {Move}.[/color]
[Okay, Hirumajoe. You've got nuthin' to utilize that'll help you deal with invisibility. The BEST I can come up with is manifesting synesthete and then readying to manifest entangling ectoplasm when you hear him charging in. {Checks your pp} You've got 5 pp left. So that'll limit you to 4 entangles (of which the first one is the only really important one, and it suffers a 50% miss chance). If the first one doesn't hit, the rest is just details barring huge crits. He's comin' for ya', and there's nothing you can do about it. I'm going to go with the entangle/greatsword/spring attack strategy. Good luck!]
Valen thinks [color=orange]"Ruh-Roh" as Jar-red fades from his sight. Thinking quickly, he manifests Synesthete and begins to feel sound {Stan}.

This should be interesting … Starting: - Leave Bat at home - Start w/ Scroll of Delay Poison in hand at the outer corner of the start square
Buffing: - Buff: Delay Poison from scroll, move out - Buff: Barkskin from memory, move out - Buff: Resist Energy (fire) from memory, move out - Buff Offensively: Call Lightning
Plan: Primary: Rauul Call lightning till dead -- Mostly for his wand of MM Secondary: Qwogi Entangle + Call lightning -- Need to slow him down first
So Call lightning should be up and running by the time I run into someone. My actions kinda depend on how I run into them
Both at the same time: Catch them both in the entangle if possible, with the effect centered on Qwogi. Burn through Call lightning targeting Rauul as fast as possible, try to only allow one to have LoS at any given time. If Rauul Goes for his healing wand, break LoS w/ Rauul and focus on killing off Qwogi. Then work into the Rauul only tactics, dismissing the Entangle effect will be beneficial for the disarm tactic.
Rauul only: Fire early and fire often. Try to fire a bolt and then move to break LoS in such a way that he can’t follow me with a single move. If he is two handing his wands, move closer and perform an unarmed Disarm of them. Preference to the MM wand (if it can be determined), stow it, then try to disarm the other wand and stow that. Charging to execute the disarm is fine with me. After the disarms, move away and use my speed and the undergrowth to my advantage If I run out of Call lightning switch to produce flame to finish him off after dealing with the disarm issue. -- Qwogi gets in combat range: Hit him with the entangle, and then summon the Direbat(if hidden) or a Hippogriff (if visible) to keep him busy, then get back to work on Rauul.
Qwogi only: I’m guessing he will be sneaking so If I hear someone moving, and can’t locate him, move to some undergrowth to disable his sneak attack from concealment, Drawing scroll of Faerie Fire. If I see him on the next move, cast it on him. If not then Drop Hold animal for a SNAII: Direbat, and tell it to seek, cast Faerie fire when the Direbat starts to attack something. I need to get an entangle on him so that his dex is lowered for the Call lightning save. If possible stay out of Scorching Ray range, while I have the resist fire, every hp is going to count. -- Rauul gets in combat range Depends on how bad I have messed Qwogi up. If Qwogi has taken 3 bolts, just tree cover to finish Qwogi off and then cast the Sonic Call lightning to work on Rauul (or recall the first if I have run out of spell levels). Use the 3 bolt figure to determine how I think he is doing.
Spells: Delay Poison (Scroll) 2- Barkskin 2- Resist Energy: Fire 2- Hold Animal: SNAII Hippo/Direbat 3- Call Lightning (primary + recall) 1- Entangle 1- Produce flame (secondary) 1- Produce flame (sonic) (secondary) 3rd level Pearl: use 1st level Pearl: use one for Produce flame reload
Notes: - Wilderness Step allows me to move at my full base speed through any undergrowth - River crossing: use the log and make a jump check rather than trying to balance across it. - If Tactics conflict as to target, target Rauul and then move to cover. - Stay aggressive rather then neutral or defensive if something comes up. - If Qwogi has/gets Pro. Evil up: not much I can do, switch the summon to Rauul if Rauul is visible. - If I run out of spells and pearls that I have allowed, switch to bow and finish the fight that way.

Hi TM - Thanks for your comments last fight. I do enjoy your pitlording style and commentary. [Yeah, well I'm trying to give it up. Makes the fights take so much longer. I'm getting the patch.]
I PM'd Rauul to discuss tactics, but I am going to be at work Friday 6am-Saturday 2pm; I am still hoping to hear from him tonight, and, if so, that could change the following. However, in case I don't hear from him, here are preliminary tactics for Qwogi, which make no mention of Rauul.
I also have worked 100 hours this week and my brain is fried, so if things don't make sense, I apologize for putting you in the difficult position of having to wing it. Good luck, and thanks for PL'ing
(sent to Rauul My Qwogi tactics, if I don't hear from you, would be: ------------------------------------- Start with Scroll of Mage armor in hand Rd1: Cast Mage Armor, move silently/hiding towards river. Rd2: Cast Alter self: Troglodyte, continue moving silently/hiding towards river
Don't cross the river; wait for Torel unless that incurs delay penalties.
Single move every round, ready action to fire at Torel if he's within 30'; if he's mounted on Sinwa, still fire at Torel, unless for some reason that's impossible.
If it's Qwogi's turn, and Torel is spotted, and hasn't spotted Qwogi, try to get to sneak attack rapid shot him. If that's not possible, cast scorching ray at him. Once combat is joined, scorching ray in consecutive rounds. After that, continue rapid firing. If possible, move to keep cover between Qwogi and Torel to allow "rapid fire, 5' step behind tree" or "rapid fire, break LOS and hide" and hope to gain some extra sneak attacks. I'm still not 100% clear on CoCo rules for hiding/sneak attacking once combat has been joined.
If entangled, use escape artist to get out; don't cast any spells while entangled. If succeed at save, move out of entangle area as fast as able and continue above tactics.
If he summons monsters, try to avoid them with stealth until duration expires. If that's not possible, ignore them and focus on Torel as above.
If he summons a swarm, use torch/alchemist fire on it.
If there's something obvious I'm overlooking and these tactics appear to be not working in the slightest and there's something obviously better to try (Qwogi is intelligent and less-sleep deprived), please adapt as you think he would. Qwogi's main M.O. is firing pathetic tiny arrows, ideally with sneak attack bonus.
Main goal is to be hidden and firing at Torel while hidden as much as possible. Not very hopeful. ----------------------------------------

Follow Qwogi's lead and attemp to allways stay 50 ft from her, as to not get caught in an entangle, Inform Qwogi that any protection vs will stop a swarm or summoned monster from harming her (may adjust her tactics to use the scroll i believe) My plan is to blast Torel Silvanus with my Magic missle wand,
My only buff, is to cast Entropic Shield on me as soon as he or his pets are Spotted
@Special Note, if i am Entangled don't try to escape, just blast with the wand.. Since i have no area Spell i will just take the stings of his swarm and keep blasting since to use it he has to be in range on my magic missle.. Since i don't have any prot vs anything or area spells i am hopeing to just light him up with Magic Missiles, and pray the 20% miss chance saves my bacon..
Btw have i told you i hate druids in the woods... [Have I told you I hate the woods, period? Sometimes I wish I was a bear so I could do in the woods what bears do wherever they want.]

Torel running jump +6 vs. DC 10 (10' stream): success, but out of movement while over the stream. Torel will begin next turn in the air moving, forcing the use of a move action before a standard action.
Qwogi(+2,+2,+9,+14) listen (35') vs. Torel(+12,+12,+3,+3) move silent -20(running): Qwogi hears Torel running and jumping, but doesn't hear her land (hasn't happened yet).

Round 6 Qwogi readies an action to shoot Torel on sight if he's within 30'and sneak attackable and moves into the undergrowth for some concealment [color=GRAY]{Stan}{Move}. He spots Torel just before he lands, but he's more than 30' away.[/color]
Torel(+12,+12,+3,+3) spot -4 (40') vs. Qwogi(+2,+2,+9,+14) hide: Qwogi remains hidden
Torel lands safely and sees no one. He moves through the undergrowth looking for someone to blast [color=GRAY]{Move}{Move}.[/color]
[Okay. Eluria's tactics say to shoot when Torel is sighted and as long as he's within 30'. To me, that says "I wanna sneak attack him." Now, the undergrowth prohibits sneak attacks. Since Eluria specified that she might have missed something obvious because she was sleep deprived and asked me to correct obvious errors, I'm going to change her ready action to "ready an action to fire on Torel when he's sighted and I can sneak attack him. That little qualifier changes everything. Pitlord prerogative, so I'll accept no arguments on this point.]
Torel steps onto the path, triggering Qwogi's ready action!
Qwogi PBS +6 vs. Torel AC 20-3(no dex): Miss. (by ONE!)
Qwogi is autospotted.
Torel jumps a little, but his intuition saves him from a nasty puncture. He calls down lightning on Qwogi!
Qwogi +8 Reflex vs. DC 18 Call Lightning: Success! Dmg: 13/2=6.

Round 7 Qwogi moves 5' west and tries to hide, then comes back to the same square and casts scorching ray at Torel [color=GRAY]{Move}{Stan}.[/color]
Qwogi(+2,+2,+9,+14) hide vs. Torel(+12,+12,+3,+3) Spot: Qwogi conceals himself.
Qwogi PBS +5 scorching ray vs. Torel touch AC 15(no dex): HIT! Dmg Ray: 13-10=3 fire Dmg sneak: 3. Total: 6 fire damage.
Qwogi can tell the ray should've done more than that. His Spellcraft knowledge is insufficient to help him understand why, however.
Torel winces at the hit, but knows what to do about the situation. He 5' steps into some undergrowth across the path and draws a scroll of faerie fire. He then casts it on Qwogi, who is outlined from crown to foot in dim violet flames (Torel figuring that green wouldn't be the best choice here) [color=GRAY]{NoAc}{Move}{Stan}.[/color]
[You know, reading through the text of faerie fire, it doesn't say anything about eliminating the concealment gained from physical obstructions (such as undergrowth). It just says that it counteracts darkness spells and effects, and stuff like blur and invisibility! The outline of light is dim, like the light shed by a candle. Notice that there's no bright spot from which the light emanates (a 5' tall "candle" would shed quite a bit of light!). Since it's daylight in the forest, but kinda shadowy beneath the boughs, I'm going to give Qwogi a -5 circumstance penalty to his hide checks while he's subject to the faerie fire spell. Again, another Pitlord call. If you wanna debate it, take it to the FotW or the Tavern or maybe to the Courtroom thread, but it won't change here.]

Powerful Build:[b][u] 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.
