Serena entered the battle field unlike her other times when she had been borrowing clothes from the other guild members. This time she was in an airy dress and her blue hair tied back with a crimson ribbon and a small hair pin. It was rather unconventional to fight in a sun dress. But it allowed for the greatest amount of movement and was what she fought in for yeas when she  traveled with Kryas. This particular dress was as similar shade to her hair with a simple neckline and slit up the side. Though if any onlookers were hopping for a peep show they would be disappointed. Her original combat wear design had certain enchantments to maintain modesty. She touched the rope of prayer beads around her neck then set her mind to the task at hand. As She began to faintly glow with a cascading blue and silver light.

As the combatants entered the arena, Serena noticed that the other creature at the far end of the arena looked like some sort of cat. It was the same size as a regular house cat.

QuoteSame arena used as in Tournaments. Assume cat is 115 ft. away.

"um, that's just a house cat right?" She said looking around as if this was some kind of joke. "I'm not going to hit a poor cat. Isn't there some way I can just throw it out of the ring or something?" Looking at the cat just to be safe she cast shield of faith on herself and went into her defensive open palm stance.

QuoteYou can ready a standard action, a move action, a swift action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, anytime before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition. The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. If the triggered action is part of another character's activities, you interrupt the other character. Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action. Your initiative result changes. For the rest of the encounter, your initiative result is the count on which you took the readied action, and you act immediately ahead of the character whose action triggered your readied action.

You attempted to attack it, but as it closed the distance, it pounced and managed to dodge out of the way of your attack. It flew towards your face, with its claws leading the way. It managed to get a clean bite on your neck, though it lost its hold pretty quick. It attempted to follow up with its two claws, but missed.

After it landed, it leapt up again, aim for your neck. You were more prepared however, and managed to step out of the way completely.

Once you stepped out of the way, and doubled up on your attacks, you managed to hit the cat, and though it wasn't knocked out, it had started to bleed profusely. Just when you thought it would attack again, it stopped in its track and began to fall. A  flash of light appeared and soon enough the cat was gone.

Serena seeing an actual opponent she felt heartened to not be fighting a poor cat. Memories of Kryas with his companion back home left her with a bad taste in her mouth. But now seeing some kind of goblinoid she she could at least focus on the battle at hand. She started to do her usual prayer like dance in order to get her mind centered and the crowd cheering she would save the real song and dance for later if she got into the higher fights. She was a performer two after all.

Beginning to pray the silver aura around her form started  to glow brighter and brighter around her form. Like the moon itself she shone dispelling the encroaching shadows.

As you finished casting your spell, the other combatant began heading towards you with its weapons drawn out. You notice that as the light from your spell began to collision with the darkness from the other combatant, they seemed to cancel each other out. The dark combatant seemed to hesitate, but it never slowed down and eventually attempted to attack. You easily saw it coming however, and with a quick flick of your wrist, managed to deflect the first blow.

Serena seeing her opening after fending off the goblins attack brought her knee smashing up into his chin with a satisfying crunch and knocking him off his feet. Using her momentum she was able to lift him off the ground with the rest of her kick. While he was going up in the air she did a back flip herself both feet ringed in flames. She locked both feet around the goblins neck carrying him head first with her in a cresent arc slamming hard intro the ground in a matter of seconds sending dust and bits of rock in every direction.

With that you managed to dispatch the creature, and on your second blow, the familiar flash of light took it away.

An hour later, the arena opened up again, this time as the dust settled you see 115 ft. away a mound of something green. It looked like some sort of green slime, and you can clearly see the creature pulsating and dripping. It seemed to be agitated as its slime continued to reach forth in successive bursts like spasms.

Serena seeing the slime like creature set her jaw the fact that she specialized in close quarters combat meant that she might be making a bit of a mess. But regardless she began her dance and this time began to weave her silvery aura into the movements as it shifted through her personal color spectrum.

As your fists went into the slime, for whatever reason you didn't feel the sting of its acid. The attack did however, leave your combatant staggered as it attempted to recover.

Lashing out quickly as the slime ;latched onto her the acid burned, but not as one might expect thanks to her celestial bloodline. There were a few perks to being descended from a god. As she quickly tried to hit some form of center mass she pulled on another gift from her long gone ancestors. She was not aiming for the body so much the nature of the thing. Every living thing no matter how corrupted or mindless carried in it that force of life. That thing her god tapped into and illuminated. The true soul of a thing which carried with it all the desires and decisions made clearer then any scar. Her hit aimed to dislodge that thing from the tethers of its organic body making the desire and the ability to act out of sink.

An hour later the arena was cleared and the new challengers placed into combat. You didn't know what to expect, though you knew the fight was to be harder. Soon enough the next opponent was unveiled and before you stood a serpentine creature, like a wingless dragon, but had five heads attached to the body. It towered to maybe 24 ft. in height. Though even that was an estimation as the way the heads moved around and the necks coiled, that it made it difficult to get a good measure. Unlike the other previous rounds however, there was a sizeable crowd to this one. Most of the would-be adventurers had to stop at the fight before, and from here on out were perhaps the toughest the event organizers could get together.

Serena reeled back ready to slam into the hydra. When her necklace which was going wild seemed to snap on its own only instead of scattering to the floor the beads speed off and circle the monster. As if in this kind of spiritual barrier her fist glowed and with a twinkling light show she slammed into the creature. She connected with a resounding crack her hair whipping around her wildly. Music seemed to be alive in the air. "You have messed with the wrong woman today!" she screamed in force as her blow made final contact and she watched the monsters aura shutter.

[info]Serena pushes ahead undaunted and will not use a refresh[/info]

An hour later as the arena was cleared up and you ushered back in, on the other side of the arena was a large creature of some sort. From your point of view, it looked like some sort of pile of flesh and blubber. It looked rotting, though you couldn't quite decide if it was undead or not. The most prominent feature of this rotting blob of flesh was a large and gaping maw filled with sharp teeth. There was a much larger crowd than even last match, and though it wasn't quite as full as during the time the Tournaments ran, it was getting there.


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

Serena looked at all those teeth and shuddered in result not to mention the smell was revolting. She wondered how many people could sit in the stands. But as it stood she was on a roll and would not be stopped any time soon. Regardless of what faced her she clacked her palms together creating a clear note. There were ways of clearing people's mind then simply the nose. Kryas had shown her clearly the powers of sound.

Serena looked at the thing with its stinking flesh and quickly racked her memory for any mention of undead that were in a similar state of decay. All the while she falls into her usual defensive stance and settled her stomach getting ready for what was to come next before rushing in

As you tried to recall through your memories and remembering what you know of the undead, you do remember hearing that there were some creatures, though seemingly undead, were not quite so. You don't remember this particular creature before you as being any of the undead creatures you've learned of.

As you moved forward, the creature too rushed forward at you. But unlike you, who kept the pace cautious, the large flesh-maw creature moved at full speed. You knew you would still have time for an action of some sort before it closed the distance, but as it continued to close the gap, you started to keenly smell a distinct and horrible odor.

[info]Double check your char sheet, and put in the default elemental attunement Serena has. For now I will just assume that she changed her elemental attunement to fire during the introductory round.[/info]

[info]Elemental Attunement
Whenever she initiates a maneuver that deals damage, she may spend one point of animus as part of its initiation action to change all damage the maneuver deals to her active element's associated energy type.

Some clarifications will probably need to be decided by the group later, but some questions arise:
1) Is a boost which increase damage considered to be a 'maneuver that deals damage'? I feel as if its a maneuever that increases damage, but not necessary being the one that actually does the damage. A strike is usually what deals damage.
2) Does base damage from a weapon, or even if its enchanted with, say, an acid enchant, be considered part of the 'all damage the maneuever deals'? Eg, is it just the extra 2d6 a maneuever does that changes its elements, or is it literally everything else in the attack? (Base, enchantment, special abilities (like flaming, frost, unholy, bleed, etc)

I think you made these two assumptions, so we'll go with that, later on we'll clarify.

Full text:
Elemental Attunement (Su): A mystic contains
incredible elemental power within her body, surging
energies that constantly flow through her blood and
muscle. Bringing these energies to bear is as easy as
breathing for a mystic, shifting the flow of power with
the subtle movements of her martial stances. When a
mystic readies her maneuvers, she may select one of
the following elements (and associated energy type) to
be her active element: air (electricity), earth (acid), fire
(fire), and water (cold).
After readying maneuvers, a mystic can change her
active element by taking a standard action to focus
inwards, or by expending one point of animus as a
free action while assuming a new stance. Whenever
she initiates a maneuver that deals damage, she may
spend one point of animus as part of its initiation action
to change all damage the maneuver deals to her active
element's associated energy type. For example, if a
mystic whose active element is currently Air initiated
the Cursed Fate Veiled Moon strike, she could spend one
point of animus to change her attack's damage (including
the strike's bonus damage) to from her weapon's normal
damage type to electricity damage.
13
Path of War Expanded
If the mystic has access to the Elemental Flux discipline,
then her active element from this class feature is
the same as her active element for Elemental Flux
maneuvers. If she is psionic, she can change her active
energy type whenever she changes her active element,
and vice versa. Her active energy type need not match
her active element.

You moved up closer as you readied one of your boosts, when you got into range you unleashed your attacks and scorched the creature. The mound of flesh attempted to attack back, but it only missed.

[info]I actually made a mistake on your maneuver earning. I counted non-readied maneuevers, it should have only been for readied ones. Here's the new chart for this round, going forward. I'll also reroll for Sun Dips Low and Knuckle to the Blade, as those were never readied maneuvers to begin with.

Reroll results, you earned:
Dimension Strike at end of round 1.
Inner Sense at end of round 2.
Gained back Disturbing Blow at end of round 3.

(Sorry its so messy, next time we have another battle, I think it'll go cleaner).

Also given from the shoutbox convo, so I'll be tweaking the damage done to the creature, as you used a boost, which did not affect base damage of your fists.

It was time to begin the combo and get this show on the road.

[info]Is there a specific ability that lets you use both Flurry of Blows (a Full Round Action) and Swift Claws (Standard Action) on the same round?[/info]

[info]I'll look it up its been a while just call it a flurry and ignore the 4th attack lol[/info]

[info]Another thing to check? Monk 3 gives you just +1 extra attacks in a full round attack action. Due to her BAB below +6, she only has 1 attack per round, even with full attack. Wouldn't this just be 2 attacks in flurry of blows, not 3?[/info]

[info]your right so just the first two then. Must have looked at the ki pool rules and gotten things mixed up[/info]

[info]It looks like overcoming DR doesn't overcome immunities. As it is right now, even if those attacks hit, they'll do no damage. You'll need to use up an animus point to change you attacks to fire. I forget if there's any cost or requirement to doing that, you can check though and modify this turns action, I'll resolve it then.[/info]

[info]already spent the Anima point maintaining element costs nothing to make all damage fire does not change damage or require extra actions.[/info]

[info]Here's the excerpt:

Whenever
she initiates a maneuver that deals damage, she may
spend one point of animus as part of its initiation action
to change all damage the maneuver deals to her active
element's associated energy type.

Reading that it looks like you still need to pay an animus point to change the damage of the maneuver. Also it looks like you'll have to use Swift Claws, as Flurry of Blows is not a maneuver, and it seems that only affects maneuvers?

So for this turn, Serena will do:

Swift Action: Bronze Knuckles
As part of Bronze Knuckles, activate Elemental Attunement to spend 1 Animus point to change all damage from this maneuver to fire.
Standard Action: Swift Claws
As part of Swift Claws, activate Elemental Attunement to spend 1 Animus point to change all damage from this maneuver to fire.

Expenditure: 2 Animus Points

Is that correct?[/info]

[info]they must have changed it from what I was looking at so let's go with 2 anima for now and I'll check and skype you for details. Later [/info]

[info]If you find anything, let me know, it's good to internalize the rules more, since I'm not familiar with the Mystic class yet. XD[/info]Your attacks hit. The creature attempted to follow up, but you skillfully dodged.

Hey So I want to keep going and this seems like the perfect means to test serena and learn the mystic lol so that i can look back for the next time it opens up so here is a few things to hash out

We were not sure if animus affects normal attacks but the enhance Maneuver ability seems to make it seem to since it can affect skill checks and CMB Checks.

• Enhance Maneuver: For each point of animus spent, the mystic adds a cumulative +2 insight bonus to all d20 rolls made (including attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, and skill checks)

So i think that they use the word maneuver broadly and would allow me to make any atttack fire based like i could add a +2 using this skill, but if we want to limit that kind of stuff to POW specific manuvers I'm totally cool with that just give me a heads up.


As a note as well swift class and bronze knuckles should marked  as used with dimension strike

[/info]

Serena continued her brutal assault that seemed to be more a dance recital then an actual combat. The flames breathing up her fists and arms flared,  mingling with each breath with her gossamer aura, which like moonlight hung around her shoulders like a robe. With each attempt to retaliate she danced around whipping like a tornado with each turn using the momentum from her would be prayer dance to empower her following strikes. This thing might be able to take some punishment, but it was her who was yet to truely break a sweat.
