Alrighty...I've narrowed down the likely opponents and the tactics really don't change much either way.
Start default location, bow in hand. Tap Inertial Armor. Listen for the big ugly mugs splashing their slow way through the sewer. Move silently to the corner overlooking the center staying with a corner to hide behind if possible. Shoot them until dead staying ahead of them and out of reach. Doing laps of the block closest to the starting square is fine. Use jump to cross water if slowing down will let them get into reach. All expendables available for use. If cornered into melee, tap force screen and flurry as applicable. If grappled, escape artist. Always attempt to get ahead and out of their way using withdraws as needed.
Contingencies: If it is the troll skeletons, this gets rougher...39 HP's and immune to cold. In this case selecting a space that draws them in one at a time and meleeing is fine as the unarmed strikes cut through their damage reduction.
PM me if you have questions or prefer to run this in a separate thread or play by play format.

Pitlord Black-list: Due to my never having a good clean fight with the following pitlords, all of my characters will automatically concede any fight run by the them or in which they are the player controlling my opponent:
Macbrea Mitza
If they are not allowed to concede they fill follow the following tactics:
1) Leave all equipment at home except armor. 2) Walk towards center of map while yelling opponents name. 3) Upon sight of opponent, start punching him with unarmed strikes.
Do not use any expendables Do not use any spells Do not use any powers Do not use anything at all, except my hands.
For all other Pitlords or opponents, tactics will be sent.
Zaroff grew up on the south east corner of the globe. He was a fronteersman, often touring through the deserts that dominated the mainland of his own country. Because of his isolated nature and combat prowess, the government's secret police soon found him & trained him in the ways of psionics. He now is in Gladius on business & is hunting down an arcane experiment gone wrong.
These tactics are in additio to the general tactics listed on my sheet.
Start front and left of center with bow in hand.
Phase 1 - Sweep: Move out clockwise, looking for my opponent...more specifically his horse. I want the horse down and down fast. Focus all fire on it first while advancing to melee. If I gain melee, then stow the bow and flurry it to death.
Phase 2 - Clear: If we are here, then the horse is dead and the target is on foot, meaning that he has no way to avoid melee due to my higher footspeed. His buffing will determine what I do next. If he is enlarged (meaning that he was able to do this before my turn after killing the horse), then step in and flurry him to death. If I am able to act before he enlarges, then I want to attempt to grapple him. After I have successfully grappled him, I want to attempt to pin him with my first flurry-grapple action, and then use the second flurry-grapple action to disarm him of his dorje. Keep trying this combo until I get it. Once I have taken that away, then flurry grapple using the damage an opponent action to make opposed grapple checks to deal damage.
Hopefully this will be short. If you have any questions, PM me.

Low-light vision (Can see twice as far in poor illumination) Rolls Search to find secret and concealed doors within 5' as though actively looking for it.
-Start in the farthest corner from the enemy if they are melee or have a low (<60') range, start as close as possible to cover (or as far as possible from the enemy if there is no cover) if not. -Shoot arrows at the enemy, using rapid shot unless a natural 17 would miss in a normal shot (with no modifiers, that means AC 28, AC 29 at 30', AC 26 at more than 110', AC 24 at more than 220', etc.) -If the enemy also is ranged, try to get behind cover if possible, unless they are within 110' -If the enemy is melee and within striking distance, use 5' steps to avoid AoO -If the enemy is a spellcaster, use a ready action to attack them when they begin performing any standard action or casting a spell. -If the enemy has no or minimal ranged capability, and is slower than 30' (or 60' if I use scroll of exp. retreat), use superior speed to stay away from them while shooting at them. -If hurt to less than 50%, use potion of healing (with 5' step if needed) -If his position (distance, cover, prone) means I won't be able to kill him with the arrows I have (assuming dice rolls go slightly worse than average), or his position means he has an advantage over me, improve my position. -Allies are a valid target if it will help me win (naturally, if they stay out of the battle entirely, killing them won't help me win). -use spells as needed
This looks to be fairly straightforward. Begin in (3,3) or equivalent. Always declare dodge vs Razorfang. On my turn, if he is too far to attack me this turn (I think the cover around the starting boxes prevents charging), my action depends on what number I need to hit without rapid shot (which can also be expressed as my range penalty (if within 30', this is -1) plus any conditional AC modifiers (prone, total defense, cover, etc) he has). If I need a 12 to hit without rapid shot (penalty+bonuses=5 or more), use True Strike and, if it is possible to move away from the corner without getting closer to him, do so. On the following turn rapid shot (or single shot ad move as before if the second shot would hit only on a 20 (penalty+bonuses=11 or more)) If I do not need a 12 to hit, rapid shot.
Once my true strikes are depleted (3 uses): If I need a 17 to hit without rapid shot (penalty+bonuses=10 or more), single shot and move as before. Otherwise, rapid shot. If I need a 20 to hit without rapid shot (penalty+bonuses=13 or more), hold my fire and ready to shoot when he comes within enough range that 1 19 will hit(if he is not moving toward me, single move to within range then shoot if possible, otherwise single move then ready)
Once he is close enough to attack me next turn: Cast shield from scroll and move away from him (and a bit away from the wall so as to avoid him cornering me). Then go back to as usual.
If he is within 25' and at above 50% hit points and I have used shield: Use scroll of RoE on him and move away from him, as before.
As always, 5' if needed, try to avoid being cornered against the wall (if the tactics call for casting/shooting then moving and he is next to me, 5' then cast/shoot and ignore the move)
If he trips me, get up and hope he doesn't make the AoO. Then 5' away and shoot him (single shot). Since I'm prone at the time of his AoO, I don't think he can retrip me until his turn.
Hopefully I'll kill him before he reaches me.
If he manages to disarm me, pick up the weapon, even with the AoO. If he sunders the bow, use mending (being wooden, mending works even with multiple breaks), it will do 1 less damage due to loss of the enchantment though.

Round 3
Lightwolf is surprised by razorfang's recklessness, 5 foot backwards draw scroll of shield and casts it. I assumed you didn’t want to risk the AoA and drawing a scroll is a move action without quick draw
Razorfang 5 foot forwards and attempts a touch attack to start grapple (no aoa since no melee weapon in hand) – miss.
Yitzi – you really don’t need to be that elaborate in calculating minuses to hit etc it gave me a headach lol, on another note – I suggest you get armor spikes so you wont get grappled so easly and you will threaten even with bow in hands.

Hi Zevox, these are my tactics for Solon in his fight against Psellus. Good luck Pitlording!
Analysis Somewhat similar characters, high dex and int, sleep spells. His high AC is a problem for exchanging missile fire, the inertial armor and force screen last too long, AC 24/25 plus possible cover. His strength is poor, making him His offensive options at long range is limited to the light crossbow, which takes a move action to reload, forcing him to stay in one spot, which is a disadvantage. His biggest weakness is poor strength and limited ways to damage me. My expectation is that he will try to buff with intertial armor, force screen, vigor then possibly expeditious retreat/defensive precog and then turn it into a shootout, possibly tossing a electricity ray if I come close.
Goals Goad/force Psellus to get all his buffs up, maybe get in a quick shot, then close and disarm him of his crossbow or setup a grapple.
Start of Combat - Start at the front center square, my familiar Horus on my shoulder, scroll of expeditious retreat in hand. - Horus will fly out and look for Psellus, flying straight forward will give good viewing angles. Hopefully he can alert me to his position. - I will delay my action until Horus has acted, cast expeditious retreat from scroll and move forward while drawing bow, moving to get a shooting angle on Psellus if Horus has spotted him, going straight for the center if he hasn’t been spotted.
Main Tactics If I spot Psellus soon and can fire single shots at him with my bow in the first 2 rounds of the fight, please do so. Move to deny cover if possible and sensible. Generally, I want to try and get closer to him, while Horus scouts and tries to stay out of danger. Once I come close enough, start the second phase of my tactic:
Drop bow (and instruct Horus to fetch it) and draw scrolls of true strike and ray of enfeeblement. Cast true strike and close with Psellus (don’t need a hand free to cast it from scroll, since it’s V only). Next round close and disarm him of his crossbow if he is holding it (neither he nor his familiar are able to threaten, so it should be AoO free), otherwise cast ray of enfeeblement at him. I’m giving you this specific instruction because I don’t want him to move out of range while I still need to draw and cast ray of enfeeblement and thus waste the true strike. If the situation is so that Solon is able to corner him and execute the tactic without needing to resort to a double-scroll draw, you are free to do so of course.
If I have succeeded in disarming him, take total defense and move away to retrieve my bow. Stow the crossbow and just weather that energy rays he is throwing at me by taking Total Defense to minimize hits. Then ask for his surrender, but if he doesn’t just whittle him down with single shots if he continues fighting unarmed, or use the longspear if he tries to seek cover/just defends himself. And by all means, take out the rat if it becomes a bother in this scenario, ordering Horus to attack too.
If disarming is not possible, try to use the ray of enfeeblement and attack and grapple (neither he nor his familiar are able to threaten, so it should be AoO free) while calling out to Horus to dive and attack too if I get him into a grapple. CdG with my bow if and once he is unconscious. My touch attack to start a grapple is only at +3, but it will be against 8/12 less AC points than my +8 bowshot, so better odds still.
A decent hit by a ray of enfeeblement might reduce his strenght by so much that he will be at a medium or even a heavy load, with corresponding penalties and a reduced grapple check. Note that he actually carries at least 11 lbs (since he forgot to note a 2 lbs. spell component pouch, that was why I discovered the missing pouch, was researching how much weight he carried). His rat familiar should add 1 lbs. or so to his weight too, and since he lacks any kind of sack or backpack, I’m assuming he has loads of deep pockets in his clothes to stow all his stuff. Normally carrying capacity doesn’t play much of a role, but with a strength this low, it might, so it is important for this fight.
Contingencies - If unable to close with him soon enough to execute tactic: seek cover, cast shield from scroll, cast entangle at him and then get bow and fire single shots at him from cover. Use superior movement (him needing to reload/entangled) to keep in cover or to deny him of cover if possible. - Disarm/grapple fails and I am still close to him and getting low on hit points: hit him and rat familiar with color spray and hope he fails the save. Then retry disarm and/or grapple.
General - I have 10% arcane spell failure from my armor, and some scrolls may require caster level checks to cast. Recast spell if it fails due to armor check and it is still sensible to do so. No point in trying to recast ray of enfeeblement if no true strike is active for example. - Psellus is lacking a spell component pouch. I’m all for allowing it. - Horus should try and stay out of danger and just scout unless I got him grappled

All spells and powers are shared with Basil whenever possible. Always use Dodge on the most dangerous enemy I can see, defaulting to the closest one if it’s not obvious. Manifest Inertial Armor and Force Shield at the beginning of every fight.
Movement-wise, attempt to find the opponent as quickly as possible while staying well at range. My optimal range is about 80 ft. If my opponent has particularly bad Spot/Listen skills, I may attempt to ambush him once I know where he is. I will not sit in a corner and wait; my buffs don’t last long enough.
Against any opponent vulnerable to Sleep, attempt to use that as soon as I can see him. Recast if the first one fails. Immunity to sleep effects, sentient allies, allies that absorb enough of Sleep’s HD limit, or a Will save higher than +6 invalidate this tactic. If Sleep succeeds, move next to opponent, take his weapons and throw them somewhere, and then coup de grace with my crossbow.
Against other opponents, stay at range and use my crossbow. If possible, shoot/reload/5ft step each round. If doing so would put me in a bad tactical position (within charging range of a melee fighter, for example) I will alternate move/shoot and move/reload. If I seem particularly outmatched (facing a dedicated archer, for example) duck behind cover and use Reduce Person once I spot them, then engage. If my opponent really, really wants to close to melee range, use a scroll of Expeditious Retreat and stay away as long as possible.
If my opponent has a significantly higher AC than touch AC, use Energy Ray (augmented if I’m pressured, unaugmented otherwise). Use electricity if he’s wearing enough metal to count, fire otherwise. Then switch to the above to hopefully finish him off.
If I get low on hit points, manifest an augmented Vigor. If I continue to get unlucky, use a power stone of Vigor. Don’t do this if I’m clearly going to lose regardless.
Hello again! Looks like you'll be my official pitlord this week.
My general tactic is to shoot him with crossbow bolts until he dies. If possible, blast with Electricity Ray. Fully buffed I have lower attack bonuses but higher defense, so I think I should be able to handle things.
Start out prone in one of the forward corners, hopefully out of sight. (Remember I get hide checks too, despite no ranks.) Buff with Armor, Share Pain from a stone (with Basil), Vigor from a stone, and then Screen. That puts me at AC 22 + 2 Dodge (I have psionic dodge and should stay focused all battle) and HP 26, and half my damage goes to Basil who now has 18 HP. Suppress the displays if possible, since there's no penalty for failing that check. The idea is to not let him know where I am by the flashing lights.
After buffing, stand up and try to spot him. If I don't immediately see him, spend a move action to actively spot. If I still can't see him, ready an action to attack on sight. From there, move out, keeping a ready action as above, until I engage.
If I can get within 30', blast with augmented Electricity Ray (2pp, +8 ranged touch, 2d6 damage) unless he's for some reason not in his armor, in which case use Fire Ray (+5, 2d6+2). Otherwise just stick to shoot/reload, assuming he's willing to engage in a ranged battle. If I think he's going to start casting, readying an action to disrupt is okay; use your/Psellus's judgement.
If I get below 10 hp, manifest Vigor, from pp if I still have some, from a stone if not. Remember to share with Basil.
Conventions The conventions for this fight are as follows. Solon will be in red. Psellus will be in blue. All rolls can be found here.
Placement Solon starts in box 3, space 32,8, Horus on his shoulder and a scroll of expeditious retreat in hand. Psellus starts in box 4, space 8,28, prone, holding nothing.
Initiative Psellus rolls a 24 and will go first. Solon rolls an 18 and will go second.
Round 1 Psellus manifests inertial armor. Solon sends his familiar out to scout, but the Hawk sees nothing. He casts expeditious retreat from his scroll and moves after it, drawing his bow. (Spot [16]+15-11=20 vs Hide [20]+4=24, ASF [76].)
Psellus: 16/16 hp; AC 18; 2/2 SL; 5/6 pp; (8,28); Prone, Inertial Armor (long) - Basil: 8/8 hp; AC 15; (with Psellus) Solon: 18/18 hp; AC 18; 1/1 SL; (32,20); Expeditious Retreat (ends 11) - Horus: 9/9 hp; AC 18; (29,32) @ Khain - Your rat lists its AC as having +4 armor and +4 shield for some reason - please remove that.
Round 2 Psellus draws and uses his stone of share pain on his familiar (ML check [16]+2=18 vs DC 4.). Horus sees Psellus just as he begins to move out, and screeches excitedly at his master. Solon figures from his actions he has seen his foe, and when Horus flies west he knows where to go. He sees Psellus and moves to negate his cover. (Solon spot [13]+11-3=21 vs Psellus hide [3]+4=7.)
Round 3 Psellus draws and uses his vigor stone. Solon drops his bow and draws his scrolls of True Strike and Ray of Enfeeblement. Horus flies over to him and picks the bow up in his talons.
Round 4 Psellus manifests Force Screen and stands up. Solon casts True Strike from his scroll and moves to negate Psellus' cover.
Psellus: 26/16 hp; AC 22(24 vs Solon); 2/2 SL; 4/6 pp; (8,28); Prone, Inertial Armor (long), Share Pain (long), Vigor (ends 23), Force Screen (ends 24) - Basil: 8/8 hp; AC 15; (with Psellus); Share Pain (long) Solon: 18/18 hp; AC 18; 1/1 SL; (8,31); Expeditious Retreat (ends 11) - Horus: 9/9 hp; AC 18; (13,32)
Round 5 Psellus manifests an electric energy ray, zapping Solon through his metal armor. (Attack [15]+8=23 vs touch AC 14, damage [6]+[4]=10.) Solon casts Ray of Enfeeblement from his scroll, sapping most of Psellus' strength. (ASF [94], attack [20]+26=46 vs AC 16, str damage [3]+1=4.)
Psellus: 26/16 hp; AC 19(21 vs Solon); 2/2 SL; 2/6 pp; (8,28); Prone, Inertial Armor (long), Share Pain (long), Vigor (ends 23), Force Screen (ends 24), Ray of Enfeeblement (-4, ends 15) - Basil: 8/8 hp; AC 15; (with Psellus); Share Pain (long) Solon: 8/18 hp; AC 18; 1/1 SL; (8,31); Expeditious Retreat (ends 11) - Horus: 9/9 hp; AC 18; (13,32)
Round 6 Psellus backs up, drawing his crossbow as he goes, and fires a shot, but misses. (Attack [8]+6-6(heavy encumbrance)=8 vs AC 18.) Solon is slightly annoyed that Psellus only now decided to draw his crossbow, but has a strategy for this anyway. He chases after the Psion, grabbing him, but Psellus manages to shake him off. (Touch to grapple [17]+3=20 vs AC 13, grapple [7]=3=10 vs Psellus [13]-3=10, defender wins.)
Psellus: 26/16 hp; AC 19(21 vs Solon); 2/2 SL; 2/6 pp; (6,25); Prone, Inertial Armor (long), Share Pain (long), Vigor (ends 23), Force Screen (ends 24), Ray of Enfeeblement (-4, ends 15) - Basil: 8/8 hp; AC 15; (with Psellus); Share Pain (long) Solon: 8/18 hp; AC 18; 1/1 SL; (6,26); Expeditious Retreat (ends 11) - Horus: 9/9 hp; AC 18; (13,32)
Round 7 Psellus steps back and shoots, but misses. (Attack [11]+6-6=11 vs AC 18.) Solon steps after Psellus and tries to grapple him again, successfully beginning their wrestling match. He calls on Horus, who flies into the air and prepares himself to dive at Psellus. (Touch attack [10]+3=13 vs touch AC 13, opposed [10]+3=13 vs [6]-3=3, damage [2]+1=3 non-lethal.)
Psellus: 26(-3 none-lethal)/16 hp; AC 19(21 vs Solon); 2/2 SL; 2/6 pp; (6,24); Prone, Inertial Armor (long), Share Pain (long), Vigor (ends 23), Force Screen (ends 24), Ray of Enfeeblement (-4, ends 15) - Basil: 8/8 hp; AC 15; (with Psellus); Share Pain (long) Solon: 8/18 hp; AC 18; 1/1 SL; (6,25); Expeditious Retreat (ends 11) - Horus: 9/9 hp; AC 18; (6,30,6) Switching to shorter notation, since its basically just grapple checks and dives from here on out unless Psellus gets lucky.
Round 8-? 8: Psellus escapes, Solon grabs him (20!) and grapples for 6 non-lethal, Horus dives for 1 damage (minimum). Status: Psellus: 25(-9 non-lethal)/16 & Basil 8/8, Solon 8/18 9: Psellus escapes, Solon fails to begin the grapple anew, Horus flies back up into the air. 10: Psellus reloads and misses with his crossbow, Solon moves and fails to grapple. 11: Psellus reloads and misses with his crossbow, Solon reestablishes the grapple for 4 non-lethal damage, Horus dives for 1 damage (minimum). Status: Psellus: 24(-13 non-lethal)/16 & Basil 8/8, Solon 8/18 12: Psellus fails to escape, Solon fails to damage, Horus flies back into the air. 13: Psellus fails to escape, Solon grapples for 3 non-lethal damage, Horus dives for 1 damage (minimum). Status: Psellus: 23(-16 non-lethal)/16 & Basil 8/8, Solon 8/18 14: Psellus fails to escape, Solon grapples for 2 non-lethal damage, Horus flies back into the air. Status: Psellus: 23(-18 non-lethal)/16 & Basil 8/8, Solon 8/18 15: Psellus fails to escape, Solon fails to damage, Horus dives for 1 damage. Status: Psellus: 22(-18 non-lethal)/16 & Basil 8/8, Solon 8/18 16: Psellus fails to escape, Solon grapples for 4 non-lethal damage and Psellus falls unconscious. Status: Psellus: 22(-22 non-lethal)/16 & Basil 8/8, Solon 8/18 17: Solon takes his bow back from Horus. 18: Solon CDGs Psellus, who fails his save and dies.
@ Usurpator - Successfully predicted your opponent's tactics and countered them - good job, and congrats on the well-deserved win. I've gotta say, Solon reminds me of one of my own characters at his level - Eraca (currently ECL 10 Elf Ranger/Diviner/Arcane Archer), which makes me curious what you're going for with him. Eldritch Knight? Arcane Archer? Something else? @ Khaim - Be sure to buy that spell component pouch - not all Pitlords may ignore it being missing. Oh, and put your free activity in your title line - when I saw you didn't have one there, I thought you weren't doing one, and nearly missed the line below it. Otherwise, its just a pity you asked for just one ray. A second could have finished this in your favor - would've been tougher after that ray to hit him, but it would be better than your crossbow at least. Better luck next time.

"Hello all you unlucky suckers... err Players" I like your opening for your Pitlord profile.
Start with a potion of mage armor and oil of shillelagh in hand.
Drink mage armor, look for opponent by going clockwise around center group of pillars.
If he's hiding in the midst of donkeys, and it looks like he's using them for soft covor, throw the alchemist's flask at them.
When I find Phacce, if he has his sling or magic missiles out, keep one hand free for deflecting arrows; stow oil and grab a tanglefoot bag before approaching. Overrun him, attempt to grapple (or trip if I can't AoO grapple) if he provokes an AoO getting to his feet, and flurry/grapple/pummel him with fists.
If he doesn't look like he will fight ranged (no sling/wand), get my oil of shillelagh and quarterstaff out and use the oil when I'm close enough to charge him next round using my (now oiled) quarterstaff.
Flurry of blows with the quarterstaff until the shillelagh runs out. Flurry of blows until we are our right sizes again. Then flurry/grapple/pummel.
If he rages, and I have a lot of health and am attacking with quarterstaff/shillelagh, keep fighting. If I have him grappled and he rages, try to pin him until he settles down.
Improvise as necessary. If it's to make a fair fight into an advantage, go ahead and use anything Gash is carrying, (but save two potions of mage armor and two shillelagh, unless Gash finds shillelagh works really well hand has the opportunity to re-oil). If Gash is on the losing side, save his tanglefoot bags but you can use anything else in a pinch.
I forgot to calculate the masterwork bonus into my sling, so the sling should be +6 instead of +5, but if it's too late for this fight, I would understand. (It probably won't matter unless you improvise.)
Thanks for running this fight, here you got my tactics for Phacce the Goblin.
Pre-fight corrections: - My towershield and all other equipment that are not noted as being small, are small, you can see that the weight is halved.
Starting Position Start at the back of my box, with towershield in my backpack and scroll of reduce person in the other.
Alright, ally settings: The mules will be in the front line of my box, ready to run to middle. Zero will be on the ground, the square in front of me. Gal will be at max altitude in front square.
Buffing Start by send Gal to find enemy and tell me the location. Then, cast reduce person on self, witch makes me tiny, witch means: +2 AC +2 attack rolls (ranged) my weight of 40 will be reduced to 5 my "weight carried" goes from 32,5 to 4,1
This means that my total weight will be 9,1, my eagle can carry 21 and keep flying. It has the combat riding package, but not saddle so ride check will be at +13.
Next draw towershield and mm wand, get mounted(fast if possible), command mules to seek & destroy, fly into max altitude. Always take cover using ride checks.
Now I should have an AC of 10+2size+5dex+4shield+4cover = 25. Unless I roll a 1 on a d20 for the cover check, my opponent can't hit me, with 19 or lower. Touch should be 21, but this, I think will not matter.
From the air shoot him down, while flying around. I have 80ft fly, so he can't stay away from me.
Cont.: - If we are in round 8, and he still has more than 2hp, pack the shield&wand, draw and ready to cast reduce person on moment it ends. This way, I won't weight too much, so that the bird can still carry me. If it is possible, cast reduce person before it ends, but I think this will dispel my current one. After casting, get back to shield&wand and kill him. I doubt this will be necceseray though. If I take 6 shots, 6x1d4+1 = 21 damage, hope for some mule damage and he will be down. - If I get damaged to 8 or less, switch my mm wand to healing wand and heal back to max hp. - If it is possible, take cover using a pillar, this way, he can't attack me becouse I will have double cover(ride+pillar). Don't do this, if he can get me in melee.
Well that's it, good luck and have fun running the game.[/quote wrote:

If I take 6 shots, 6x1d4+1 = 21 damage, hope for some mule damage and he will be down. - If I get damaged to 8 or less, switch my mm wand to healing wand and heal back to max hp. - If it is possible, take cover using a pillar, this way, he can't attack me becouse I will have double cover(ride+pillar). Don't do this, if he can get me in melee.
Well that's it, good luck and have fun running the game.
UserNamer]Hey Rauul, I just realized, that my tactics can be wrong. I'm not sure if the weight I'm carying is divied by 8 as well or just by 2. If it's by 2, don't use towershield, but a scroll of shield as a buff instead. And if I have to cast reduce person for a 2nd time, cast shield in the round thereafter.

Alright...one good hit should finish the fight...the problem is getting to a position to make that hit before dying.
These tactics are in addition to the general tactics listed on my sheet.
Start front and left of center with bow in hand. Move out from cover to cover clockwise looking and listening. I expect him to be invisible. so ready actions to fire upon LOS of he or his familiar. Shoot whichever shows first.
vs the familiar: Shoot normal shots in an attempt to bring it down
vs the target: I want one clear shot. One clear shot with no miss chances, no penalties, etc. Until I can get that, if I have LOS, use normal shots to bring him down. If I can take my one clear shot, then expend focus when doing so. The average damage on 1d8 + 2d6 is 11.5, so a single shot should drop him, barring really crappy rolls.
I can't really provide tactics vs all of the combos of spells he can throw at me, so my basic tactic is to fire until he drops. If I expend my focus and he is still up, then if I have a round in the future with nothing happening, refocus.
Save the pp...no sense wasting them here. If the focus doesn't do it, then that means I am already dead.

Macbrea Mitza
If they are not allowed to concede they fill follow the following tactics:
1) Leave all equipment at home except armor. 2) Walk towards center of map while yelling opponents name. 3) Upon sight of opponent, start punching him with unarmed strikes.
Do not use any expendables Do not use any spells Do not use any powers Do not use anything at all, except my hands.
For all other Pitlords or opponents, tactics will be sent.
Begin in back center spot with scroll of invis in hand & familiar on shoulder.
1) Cast invis, shared with familiar. 2) Cast ghoul touch, designate familiar as toucher. [with beak, I guess? Just so the familiar can ride me at same time & not ghoul touch me.]
Move to see him. Walk up & have familiar touch him. If he fails his save[is paralyzed], use shocking grasp to CDG him. If he saves, concede the fight.

Unholy Ninja (Vathelokai) vs. Apocalypse (NiQil) : templer10 [Arena]
General idea: Get him to waste his pp while I heal up with my wand. Once he's out of the high damage stuff, buff and grapple him to death.
Start front and right corner, holding scroll. Declair Apoc my dodge buddy.
Cast expid retreat from scroll. Sheath scroll.
Double move into the center area while drawing wand of CLW.
Move around in the middle and look for Apoc. Cast resistance.
I expect a barage of energy attacks when he finds me. Let them hit me, but try to stand in places where energy push won't do extra impact damage. After I'm hit each time, retreat to some place with no LOS (and low chance of gaining LOS) and heal up with wand (to within 3 hp of full). Basicly, I want him to waste his pp before I go into melee.
If he chooses to open with the dorje and save the pp for when I get close, then move in close and try to provoke him into using pp (go as far as punching him with stunning fist); then retreat and heal up. If he won't fall for that, then move onto the next portion of the tactics.
Cast divine favor when I see him and I'm ready to move in. Recast expid retreat from scroll if it has 2 rounds or less (this is to make sure I can get in and threaten him fast, if he's not keeping max range, then this may not be nessicary).
When I think I can reach him in one round, cast enlarge person.
Get in his face and use flurry of touches to start grapple. Flurry to inflict dmg in grapple.
Healing: After the initial stuff, try to keep hp above 13. I can use the wand in grapple, and my other limbs leave me 'armed'.
Contingencies -use stunning fist on my first AoO (if it was not used to 'provoke' him in the above tactics) -if the fight runs long, all my buffs are out, and I cannot keep him in grapple, cast mirror image from scroll and take him down with my magic missile wand. -if he's being evasive, and I cannot catch him, tanglefoot bag is an option
Things of note -fight 3 for both of us -dodge and combat reflex feats -cover is my friend against the touch attacks -1 stunning fist left this cycle -if he uses any energy type except cold, my evasion ability helps -use all spells, all wand charges, specified spells from scroll, and 1 tanglefoot bag if needed -try not to stand with my back to a wall, so that energy push doesn't knock me into something (If I've taken a few big hits, then this may not matter any more, as his pp is too low; Ninja is reasonably intellegent and might figure it out)

These tactics are in addition to the general tactics listed on my sheet.
Start front and left of center, holding my dorje.
Phase 1 - Seek: Find him. Use any movement means necessary. I will most likely get magic missile'd to death in this match, so there is no sense in hiding. When I find him, proceed to phase 2.
Phase 2 - Destroy: I am guessing he will be using mirror image here, which won't help him vs Energy Missile. If he uses this, make sure and target each of the images with a missile...I can hit a total of 5 targets at once with them. So as soon as I seem him and he is within range, hit him with Energy Missiles. I have enough pp for 3 of them. These should all be cold missiles, which will make him make Fort saves instead of Reflex saves. At least this way I guarantee half damage every round by avoiding his Evasion.
Now, a key point here is to keep advancing towards him while blasting him. I want to get within 30 ft of him. One of two things will happen from this range. Whichever happens first will determine where my last power point goes.
1)If he draws his clw wand, in the next round (assuming I am in range or can get in range), manifest Grease on the wand. Since it is attended, it will get a reflex save, but I am hoping to grease the wand for a couple of rounds and make his healing go away. If this happens and the wand falls to the ground with me still having missiles left, then include the healing wand in one of the energy missiles (since it will count as unattended at that point and is fair game for targeting).
2)If he closes with me, he will most likely try and grapple me...especially if he is enlarged. If this happens, manifest Grease on myself at the first opportunity and then use it and Escape Artist to escape the grapple.
Once I have blasted off my 3 cold missiles, proceed to phase 3.
Phase 3 - Mop up: If we get here and the fight is still going, then try and do my best to mop up with the dorje. Continue to use cold as the energy of choice.
Hopefully that will win the day....though I have a feeling all this will do is spend some more magic missile charges and give Vath's PC another win over my PC's this level.

set up
start in defult position mounted on speedy 2, with dorja of force screen in hand and Droja of entangling ectoplasem in other hand.
R1-6 pps vigor shared with spike, move to behind of the statues, preventing a charging lane. R2- share pain with spike. R3- force screen from dorja, put dorja away. If Mithos is already attacking me go to "fight" tactics, otherwise also drink shield of faith potion.
the fight this fight can go couple of ways – he can do MM, melee(trips), spells of combo.
After buffing if mithos isn’t already in sight and/or attacking me go out looking for him, ready action enlarged entangling ectoplasem on spot.
Afterward manifest enlarged Cold E-ray + psionic shot for 4d6+2 dmg if it hits, if the e-ray seems to hit him hard, manifest energy retort (cold) from memory - +8 on the ranged touch for the energy retort.
If the Cold e-ray seems to have little effect, go to Fire e-ray+psionic shot then energy retort (fire), if noth doesn’t work try, electricity e-ray+psionic shot then energy retort (electric) – 1 of those 3 should work.
After the initial barrage try to keep in range of energy retort, take him out with e-rays + psionic shots, remanifest entangling ectoplasem on last round of the last 1.
contingencies
1)if vigor/force screen runs out reneaw from powerstone/dorja and share it.
2)for EVER use the last pps – I need it to regain focus.
3)always attempt to regain focus (+13 concetration) as a move action.
4)if tripped,grappeled continue regular tactics- if needed expend focus for take 15 on the energy retort.
5)if disarmed of both e-ray dorjas or unable to execute main tactic for some unforeseen reason, Evade mithos double move towards big statue, manifest psionic levitate from powerstone, get on big statue using levitate, sit on it manifest offensive precog from memory and shoot bow + psionic shot at mithos.
6)if in melee have horse attack when possible.
7)manifest defensivly if I cant 5 foot backwards.
8)if he starts shooting MM's at me while buffing, move the force screen to after I do energy retort and immidetaly start to close distance to where energy retort is effective (40).
9)if I only see the familiar coming towards me (and mithos is evading/not attacking) go ahead and nuke it with whatever e-ray was determined to work + psionic shot until it dies (1-2 rounds).
10)redo entangling ectoplasem on last round of it working.
11)ignore his horse unless it attacks me in melee- if so tell mithos iam killing that horse if it doesnt stop - if it doesnt kill it with 1-2 e-ray(Cold)+psioninc shots from dorja. (dont bother if mithos is near death).
That's it and unless he gets me pre vigor+share pain my Sheer HP total (93) I think will win this.
Mithos starts in the rear corner of his box, near a statue, with Regal on his shoulder and a scroll of expeditious retreat in hand. Leave Noble behind.
General tactics: Buff whatever I have time for, chiefly expeditious retreat and enlarge person, while hiding. Catch him and sunder his dorjes and bow, then kill him with a couple spells and either my MM wand or trip/striking.
Round 1: Cast expeditious retreat from scroll, drop it, move to cover behind a statue and hide. Round 2: Draw scroll of enlarge person and begin casting it. Round 3: Finish casting enlarge person. If Lorian is spotted and either on the move or sitting and not buffing, move out while drawing my Halberd. If not, draw scroll of resist energy. Round 4+ If I have time, buff with resist energy vs elec and fire, and bull’s strength from scroll, plus giving Regal a Shocking Grasp to deliver (to Lorian).
Round X+: Once I get up to Lorian, start sundering, beginning with his dorjes. Favor one in his hands first, but try to get either all of them, or the two he draws to his hands (the goal being to get both the energy ray ones – if it proves that I missed one, get it!). Then sunder his bow. If I can get all of those, I may have a chance of winning this. If not, this is a futile endeavor to begin with.
If I get all those, I can begin to fight back. First, kill his horse with a casting of Scorching Ray and Halberd swings – with my AC it could actually do serious damage. Second, cast Scorching Ray on him. What happens then will dictate my tactic thereafter. A) Ray misses – cast shocking grasp and attack with it until it hits. B) Ray (or subsequent grasp) hits with no energy retort – Melee strategy, then. Trip-kill for the win. C) Ray (or subsequent grasp) hits with energy retort – Ranged strategy, then. Keep my distance, out of range of Energy Retort, and let Regal deliver two shocking grasps, while I use my MM wand to finish the job.
Notes - Mithos sunders at +15 (4bab, +3str, +4size, +4two-handed) for 2d8+4 with his Halberd and enlarged. - Sundering, since it isn’t an attack against Lorian, won’t provoke an Energy Retort if he uses that power. - Do not bother healing. His damage potential outstrips my CLW wand too much, and I don’t want to take precious time away from my main tactic.
Conditionals - If I find it impossible to catch him on that horse, hit it with a Ray of Enfeeblement (should put it into medium encumbrance, thus making it catchable). - If Enlarge Person is dispelled, get it back up ASAP! - If Expeditious Retreat is dispelled and hes evading on that horse, kill it with my bow and one Regal-delivered grasp (bringing my total allowed grasps in this fight to 3 – 2 on Lorian, 1 on horse). If its dispelled and he has energy retort up, then go with the melee strategy even if he has E-retort up (can’t get out of its range then).
And that’s what I’ve got. This is kind of a desperate strategy – Mithos won’t be ready to handle this guy in a map like this for another few levels. Maybe on a larger map, with more buffing time, or with my Hippogriff mounts ready, I’d have better odds here, but I don’t have those things, so I’m in trouble. Anyway, thanks for running the fight!

Basic tactics: Snipe him. I have high enough Hide with Chameleon up that he needs to be right next to me and roll a 19 vs my 1 to see me, assuming no penalties to my check. Even with the -20 snipe penalty, I have a decent chance at making the check.
Notes: Remember, cover tends to be reciprocal. I don't need to be next to a rock, just have it between me and him. Since we're both small, the rocks are plenty big enough to hide us. Also, my attacks while hidden both ignore his Dex and suffer the -4 cover, so I'm basically rolling against his normal AC.
Start in (34, 55) or equivalent (from here I'll assume I start in 1, adjust directions as necessary) holding the Dorje of Chameleon. First round, use it and then put it away. Then run to (33, 36), taking the -20 to Hide. We might auto-spot each other if he's in the open in 2 or 4, but we'll certainly lose contact when I duck behind the rocks.
From there, circle within the middle (drawing my bow) staying at half speed and making active spot checks. If I hear something, concentrate on that area, but do not move forward to investigate. If I see him hiding in one of the outside formations but then lose him, wait a few rounds to try to spot him again, then move towards that area. Search through that section for six rounds or so, then move back to the center and start over again. My priorities here are, in order: 1) stay hidden 2) find him. I have no reason to ready attacks, so don't bother. Keep in mind that I can suffer the -5 movement penalty and still have a very good chance at staying hidden; my concern is more with keeping cover at all times.
If I see him before he sees me, start sniping: single attack with Psionic Shot, then move action to rehide. If I manage to stay hidden, regain focus and do it again. If he sees me, he'll probably tag me with MM; move to new cover, and try again. If I completely lose contact, regain focus and go back to my search pattern.
Responses: CLW, Expeditious Retreat, Mage Armor, Shield, Ventriloquism: Ignore these. There's really nothing I can do about it anyway. Also, with the slow pace this battle is likely to have, the buffs may well wear off before I manage to find him. Magic Missile: This is why I want to stay out of sight. If I spot him with the wand out and he's close enough to me, switch to the Greatsword, charge and attempt to disarm him. (Don't break cover unless I can attack that same round.) I have a +7 (+3 attack bonus +4 two-handed) on the check and he has a -3 (-1 Str, 1 BAB, 1 size, -4 not a weapon). He'll take an AoO if he tries to pick it up; use that to disarm him again. If he keeps trying to get it, use the AoOs to keep it down and smack him with my normal attacks. If he abandons in, pick it up myself and switch back to my bow. Ray of Enfeeblement: Go hide, and resume my earlier plan. I'll take some nasty penalties, but again I can't really do anything about it. Obscuring Mist: Switch to my Greatsword and go hunting. Even when right next to each other, he still has to make a spot check to see me, until I attack. Try the disarm attempts, as above.

Buff, then hide and take potshots. Use spells and expendables as needed, try to make use of the target’s vulnerabilities. The greataxe is for coup de grace use only. Whenever casting a spell may reveal my position (e.g. by sound), move afterward if feasible.
Begin in (28,55) or equivalent. We're both hide-heavy builds, so this could get nasty. First round, cast mage armor and go total defense. Second round, cast expeditious retreat and go total defense. Third round, double move to (29,36), if I see Psyker, note his position. After that, try to move to where I can see Psyker and have cover from him. Unless needed to get to cover, I prefer to single move then ready color spray on Psyker being in range rather than double move. Once I can see him and he can't see me, if I am within 30', shoot off a sneak attack spell at him, order of preference is acid splash from memory, ray of frost from memory, AS from scroll, RoF from scroll. After the attack spell, move away. If I am more than 30' away from him, 5' if needed to a spot that he cannot negate my cover and attack in the same turn, and begin casting summon monster I for a small Fiendish Monstrous Spider (2 rounds) as close to him as possible. I want the spider to try to web him, once he is webbed it should attack him, preferably from a place I can flank him. Once I have my spider, I want to move up to within color spray range and use it on him. Once he is color sprayed, either from the readied action or after the spider, I have 1d4 rounds in which he is blinded, meaning I do 1d6 sneak attack damage-on each one use an attack spell as before, his flat-footed touch AC is 11, subtract 2 for blinded for a total of 9. Once re begins reacting to me again (no longer blinded), move to a place of cover. If he resists the color spray, or if he survives it, I'll begin using attack spells followed by moving if he's within 30', as decribed above. If he's not within 30' and I can't get within 30' without losing cover, I'll use my wand of magic missile (from cover of course, with a move afterward) instead.
Correction: I said color spray would be 1d4 rounds of getting sneak attack, it's actually 1d4+1, as there's 1 round he's stunned, which also negates DEX bonus to AC. So after he seems to no longer be blinded (I assume I can see his eyes begin to track me or something), I let off one last attack spell then run off into hiding.

Yitzi]First round, cast mage armor and go total defense. Second round, cast expeditious retreat and go total defense.
Note: using total defense is a standard action, so no casting and doing it in the same round.
Conventions The conventions for this fight are as follows. Psyker will be in red. Arbin will be in blue. All rolls can be found here.
Placement Psyker starts in box 4, space 8,29, holding his dorje of chameleon. Arbin starts in box 3, space 35,8, holding nothing.
Initiative Psyker rolls an 18 and will go first. Arbin rolls a 15 and will go second.
Round 1 Psyker uses his dorje of chameleon and stows it. You know, its a pity you didn't want to start moving immediately. Move 1 space east and you'd auto-spot Arbin (can't hide while flat-footed) while being hidden from him yourself. Arbin draws a scroll and casts mage armor. Psyker doesn't hear it. (Listen [6]+8-18=-4 vs DC 0.)

(Listen [6]+8-18=-4 vs DC 0.)
Round 2 Psyker runs to the arena center, allowing himself to be auto-spotted by Arbin, but not seeing him in return. Somehow, Arbin doesn't hear Psyker's movement at all. (Spot [3]+8-14=-3 vs Hide [8]+14=22, listen [3]+8-14=-2 vs MS [12]+14-20=6.) Arbin draws another scroll and casts expeditious retreat. Psyker hears him albeit distantly. (Listen [6]+8-13=1 vs DC 0.)
Round 3 Psyker moves for a view of the boxhe heard the noise from, drawing his bow as he goes. Neither sees the other, nor does Arbin hear Psyker. (Spot [6]+8-12=2 vs hide [15]+14=29, Arbin spot [11]+8-12=7 vs hide [7]+24=31, listen [6]+8-12=2 vs MS [17]+13=30.) Arbin moves out, not realizing he has made himself visible to Psyker and not spotting him either (distance penalty for above reduced to -2).
Round 4 Psyker takes a shot at Arbin, the arrow slamming into him with all his psionic might. Arbin doesn't see him, but he does hear just about everything he needs to. (Shot [16]+9=25 vs AC 15, damage [4]+1+[2]+[4]=11, rehide [10]+24-20=14 vs spot [7]+6-2=11, listen [10]+8-2=16 vs DC 0.) Arbin moves to behind some cover and begins summoning a spider. Slight innovation there, since Psyker knows where you are and will easily be able to follow you, the odds of a sneak attack are low, so I switched to the more workable summon/color spray tactic.
Round 5 Psyker tries to regain his focus, but fails. (Concentrate [9]+9=18 vs DC 20.) Arbin finishes his summoning, calling up a small spider, which he orders to web Psyker. The spider tosses its web at Psyker, entangling him, and steps up closer, ready to attack. (Web [16]+4=20 vs touch AC 15.)
Psyker: 24/26 hp; AC 19; 1/1 pp; (29,29); Chameleon (long), Poison (second save round 15), Entangling Arbin: 6/17 hp; AC 19; 1/2 SL; (34,31); Mage Armor (long), Expeditious Retreat (ends 12) - Spider: 4/4 hp; AC 14; (30,29)
Round 6 Psyker retreats around the corner, drawing an attack from the spider that stings but doesn't poison him, then escapes the webbing. Arbin hears him, but vaugely. (Spikder AoO [15]+4=19 vs AC 17, damage [4]-2=2, poison [18]+8=26 vs AC 10, escape artist [15]+4-2=17 vs DC 10, MS [10]+13=23 vs listen [18]+8-2=24.) Arbin moves around the pillar and casts color spray on Psyker, sending him into a stupor. His spider comes in behind him and attacks again, sinking its mandibles into his leg painfully. (Will [4]+2=6 vs DC 15, duration [1] round blind/stun, 1 round stun, spider attack [12]+4=16 vs AC 13, damage [2]-2=1 (min), poison [2]+8=10 vs DC 10.)
Psyker: 23/26 hp; AC 19; 1/1 pp; (29,32); Chameleon (long), Poison (second save round 15), Color Spray (blind until round 7, stun until round 8), Poison (second save round 16) Arbin: 6/17 hp; AC 19; 0/2 SL; (30,34); Mage Armor (long), Expeditious Retreat (ends 12) - Spider: 4/4 hp; AC 14; (29,31)
Round 7 Psyker is blind and stunned. The spider melts away, returning to its home in the Abyss. Arbin fires a sneak attack acid splash, wounding Psyker. (Attack [5]+6=11 vs AC 9, damage [2]+[3]=5.)
Psyker: 18/26 hp; AC 19; 1/1 pp; (29,32); Chameleon (long), Poison (second save round 15), Color Spray (stun until round 8), Poison (second save round 16) Arbin: 6/17 hp; AC 19; 0/2 SL; (29,34); Mage Armor (long), Expeditious Retreat (ends 12)
Round 8 Psyker is stunned. Arbin casts another Acid Splash on Psyker, but misses badly, only sizzling a small burn mark on the nearby pillar. He then retreats behind the pillars. (Attack [1!]+6=7 vs AC 11.)
Psyker: 18/26 hp; AC 19; 1/1 pp; (29,32); Chameleon (long), Poison (second save round 15), Poison (second save round 16) Arbin: 6/17 hp; AC 19; 0/2 SL; (28,36); Mage Armor (long), Expeditious Retreat (ends 12)
Round 9 Psyker tries to regain his focus, but fails. (Concentration [9]+9=18 vs DC 20.) Arbin creeps back around the pillars, but neither he nor Psyker see or hear each other. (Arbin hide [9]+14=23 vs Psyker spot [13]+8-1=20, Psyker hide [5]+24=29 vs spot [2]+6-1=7, Psyker listen [4]+8-1=11 vs Arbin MS [1]+15=16.)
Psyker: 18/26 hp; AC 19; 1/1 pp; (29,32); Chameleon (long), Poison (second save round 15), Poison (second save round 16) Arbin: 6/17 hp; AC 19; 0/2 SL; (30,35); Mage Armor (long), Expeditious Retreat (ends 12)
Round 10 Psyker tries to regain his focus, but fails. (Refocus [6]+9=15 vs DC 20.) Arbin checks Psyker's former position, finds him still there, and ducks away. (Listen [1]+8-2=7 vs MS [11]+15=26.)
Psyker: 18/26 hp; AC 19; 1/1 pp; (29,32); Chameleon (long), Poison (second save round 15), Poison (second save round 16) Arbin: 6/17 hp; AC 19; 0/2 SL; (32,34); Mage Armor (long), Expeditious Retreat (ends 12)
Round 11 Psyker fails to refocus. (Refocus [1]+9=10 vs DC 20.) Arbin steps to cover, but neither sees each other. (Psyker spot [10]+8-2=16 vs hide [8]+14=22, Arbin cannot succeed (+6-2=+4 vs +24).)
Psyker: 18/26 hp; AC 19; 1/1 pp; (29,32); Chameleon (long), Poison (second save round 15), Poison (second save round 16) Arbin: 6/17 hp; AC 19; 0/2 SL; (31,34); Mage Armor (long), Expeditious Retreat (ends 12)
Round 12 Psyker finally regains his focus. (Refocus [14]+9=23 vs DC 20.) Arbin double-checks Psyker's position again, and again retreats.
Psyker: 18/26 hp; AC 19; 1/1 pp; (29,32); Chameleon (long), Poison (second save round 15), Poison (second save round 16) Arbin: 6/17 hp; AC 19; 0/2 SL; (32,34); Mage Armor (long)
Round 13 Psyker moves up, spots Arbin, and fires, ending the match. (Attack [12]+9=21 vs AC 15, damage [6]+1+[2]+[1]=10.)
Psyker: 18/26 hp; AC 19; 1/1 pp; (30,33); Chameleon (long), Poison (second save round 15), Poison (second save round 16) Arbin: -4/17 hp; AC 19; 0/2 SL; (32,34); Mage Armor (long)
Psyker is the winner! He gains 900 xp and 900 gp. Arbin loses, but still gains 300 xp and 300 gp.

@ Khaim - I really, really hate snipers who rely on a mediocre concentration and psionic shot. The most annoying sneak I ever ran, Zero, used that same tactic, and like you, the dice just plain hated him when it comes to regaining focus. You should seriously pick up a psicrystal with the single-minded personality (+3 concentration) or skill focus (concentration). And in this fight, you really didn't need to hide so much. I can understand being afraid of the MM wand, but you could disarm or sunder it fairly easily with that greatsword, then your superior ability with your weapons makes this an easy fight if you can keep him in sight (which in this map is not hard). In any event, congrats on the win. @ Yitzi - A hiding wizard? With the two DC 0 listen checks spells give? Okay... but seriously, what was with the plan in this fight? The summon/color spray thing was the right idea in my opinion. You had that MM wand and some neat utility spells in those scrolls, use 'em! They're much better than trying to snipe a foe with a hide check you can't beat without being 15' or less away with the weakest spells in the game!

Laziness! As with the Warfare Alliance and Living Tree, the East Habari Trade Company's workers have found themselves pushed too hard, and so their production has dropped off of late as fatigue and laziness takes its toll.
