[Markus] Challenge Ladder

[Throndir]

As the arena opened up, you see some sort of kitty 115 ft. away.

Roll for initiative! (And perform)

[Dan-e]

"Here kitty kitty..." Markus spoke softly as he aimed and fired his crossbow!

Initiative: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+5 : 2 + 5, total 7[/blockquote]

Perform: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+4 : 8 + 4, total 12[/blockquote]

Attack: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+8 : 15 + 8, total 23[/blockquote]

Damage (maybe?): [blockquote]Rolled 1d6 : 4, total 4[/blockquote]

[Throndir]

You shot the kitty! And even though it was so far away, you swear you heard it screech in defiance. It was still alive and it began heading towards you.

[info]Kitty is 65 ft. away.[/info]

[Dan-e]

"Woohoo! That was effective!" Markus says while reloading then firing another shot from his crossbow.

Attack: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+8 : 12 + 8, total 20[/blockquote]
Damage: [blockquote]Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1[/blockquote]

[Throndir]

You managed to hit the cat again. However, once you had fired off your weapon, the cat was already at your face. It flew at you as it leapt in one giant pounce, however a quick sidestep was all it took to avoid the damage.

Damage Dealt: 5

[Dan-e]

"Time to get up close and personal I see!" Markus comments as he dropped his crossbow then pulled out his rapier and short sword.

I think I have time this round to make one attack still yes? If so then here it is, otherwise please ignore!  :)
Rapier
Attack: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+8 : 5 + 8, total 13[/blockquote]
Damage: [blockquote]Rolled 1d6+2 : 1 + 2, total 3[/blockquote]

[Throndir]

[info]You can make a full attack actually. Dropping a weapon is a free action. So you can add another attack to that if you want, just keep in mind TWF penalties for dual wielding.[/info]

[Dan-e]

Markus would have attacked with two weapons, so here are rolls. Take either the rapier re-roll below or keep the original and subtract 2, whichever you choose!

Rapier:
Attack: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+6 : 12 + 6, total 18[/blockquote]
Damage: [blockquote]Rolled 1d6+2 : 5 + 2, total 7[/blockquote]

Short sword:
Attack: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+6 : 1 + 6, total 7[/blockquote]
Damage: [blockquote]Rolled 1d6+2 : 6 + 2, total 8[/blockquote]

[Throndir]

[info]Gonna keep the original for the rapier.[/info]
You swung your weapons, but the cat ducked out of the way as it rolled in closer to you. The moment it did so, it leapt towards you again. It managed to clamp on to your neck, though it was easily shaken off.

[error]Player takes 4 damage.[/error]
[info]Damage Dealt: 5
Damage Taken: 4[/info]

[Dan-e]

"That's a bad kitty!"

Rapier:
Attack: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+6 : 18 + 6, total 24[/blockquote]
Damage: [blockquote]Rolled 1d6+2 : 6 + 2, total 8[/blockquote]

Short sword:
Attack: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+6 : 18 + 6, total 24[/blockquote]
Damage: [blockquote]Rolled 1d6+2 : 6 + 2, total 8[/blockquote]

[Throndir]

The bad kitty was struck down with both weapons. As the second attack came in, slicing the poor creature even further, a flash of light appeared and a moment after that the cat was gone.

[info]Assuming you are going for the next tier up. Don't forget about Charles (though he really can't do much fighting from previous things..)[/info]

[Throndir]

[info]Markus earns 459 exp, and 353 gold.[/info]

An hour later, as the next round was prepared, you see in the distance what looked to be a robed figure, covered from brownish-black clothing. Apart from that, it was still too far to get any more details.

[info]Roll perform and initiative.[/info]

[Dan-e]

"Behold Charles, another challenger!" Markus prepares his crossbow to fire again.

Initiative: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+5 : 11 + 5, total 16[/blockquote]

Perform: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+4 : 16 + 4, total 20[/blockquote]

[Throndir]

The audience cheers at your show. The creature moved forward before you could react. It didn't have enough speed to cover the distance but it made its way closer. You notice a bubble of darkness around it, and you noticed it melt into the background.
