[IC] Kin's Fan Club vs Lord of the Dance

[Throndir]

It was the start of another round of the arenas as both groups appeared on the stage.

"When I read the names of these two next groups, I decided that we are indeed crazy." The announcer said.

"What do you mean?" The lady in the ballgown replied back.

"Judge for yourself. We have a group calling themselves the "Lord of the Dance", and judging by how they're acting now I can see why they chose that name." The announcer said as he gestured towards the group, already the three individuals had started to dance. For what reason, you could not tell.

"While that other group, representing the Guild of Galas'nor chose to call themselves "Kin's Fan Club". Now see that halfling with the sword too big for his own good? He's kin. Those two next to him... try to guess?"

"The fans?"

"Yup."

With those words the arena started to morph. First the floor changed, becoming more metallic and gleaming. Next, sparks of lightning started to crackle and appear straight in the middle of the arena. It would have been a curious sight to behold, but there was little time to admire the view as the so-called dancers launched into spell casting.

Lightning arena rules:

• Crossing the lightning barrier deals 2d6 damage to the player, reflex save DC 15 for half.
  
• At the beginning of each round, a random character is dealt 2d6 lightning damage in the form of a lightning bolt striking the character. Reflex DC 15 for half damage.
  
• At the beginning of each round, the lightning wall changes position, damaging anyone in its path 2d6 damage. The DM will automatically roll reflex saves DC 15 for these.

The dancing casters were ready. As they moved up closer to the electric field, each doing their own dance, and as they finally finished casting their strange spells, they spoke at the same time, though, different words from each other.

"Skeletons nya!"


"DIE."


"Always cool yo."


At that moment three large skeletons appeared before the party. The crowds roared as the announcers butted in right when the large skeletons started attacking the guild.

"It looks like we have a fast start from those dancing mages!"

"Dancing summoners more like! Will the Guild of Galas'nor have enough to take them down?"

Kin roll a Reflex save DC 15, to either take damage or none, you can resolve it in your next post.

Nyan: Move up, cast Summon Undead II.
Redeye: Move up, cast Summon Undead II.
Ice: Move up, cast Summon Undead II.
Skeleton (yellow): Moves up, attacks Jorn and misses.
Skeleton (red): Moves up, attacks Kin and deals 8 damage.
Skeleton (blue): Moves up, attacks Ildolius and misses.

Kin receives a free attack of opportunity on Large Skeleon (yellow).

Again, I'm asking the players to keep track of their own HP.

Upon seeing the skeletons burst up from the ground they were summoned on, Kin blinks a couple times. "You're...kidding me. Undead AGAIN!?" The halfling tried to gather himself in a good stance before they struck, but was too slow, and after a sharp gasp from the hit, he simply sighed. "Why do I have to fight more necromancers, damn it all."

Seeing an opening from the summon, Kin lashes out at one of the skeletons, his sword moving quickly enough for two slashes. Right as the first attack swings toward the skeleton, Kin shouts out, "Flash!" The sword suddenly has a burst of lightning, the surface of the blade seething with blue electricity.

This was the attack of opportunity, resolved below

He took a deep breath, then shouted across the field at his opponents, "HOW IS THIS DANCING, YOU DUMBASSES!?"

Finally he gathered himself, focusing his mind. "Screw these things." He said simply. "You guys hold these things' attention. I've got the casters."

Kin quickly tumbles around and out of range of the skeletons, then dashes through the lightning wall at the cast on the left. Using the momentum to his advantage he makes another heavy attack on the mage. "Gods damn your DAMNED SKELETONS!"

Roll another reflex when you can.

Tumble at one-half speed as part of normal
movement, provoking no attacks of opportunity
while doing so. Failure means you provoke attacks
of opportunity normally. Check separately for each
opponent you move past, in the order in which you
pass them (player?s choice of order in case of a tie).
Each additional enemy after the first adds +2 to the
Tumble DC.

"Yo Cat! Why didn't you teleport?
Get back here before you get cut short."

"Nya..." The cat-eared person said as blood heavily poured down her dress. A moment later she vanished, then shortly appeared beside him.
