[Kin] Challenge Ladder

[Linwelin]

Crit confirm:  1d20+12 : 16 + 12, total 28

If confirmed, the base weapon damage for the crit is 2d6+5 (so damage added to original roll is 17), I was adding 1d6 for lightning enchant.

[Lance]

The slime explodes...

..in a flash of really bright light.

Next fight will be the first real hurdle. Post any pre-battle actions at this time.

[Linwelin]

None to post, carry on, my friend. Kin's only pre-battle is getting into his stance, at the moment.

[Lance]

"Then without any further adieu..."



"HAIL HYDRA!"

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.

Roll perform and initiative!

[Linwelin]

"Finally, a real fight!" Kin exclaims, rotating his shoulders in a stretching motion, then drawing his greatsword. "I heard snake meat tastes like chicken!" Kin yells at the beast, pointing his sword toward it. "Let's find out!"

Kin draws his greatsword and will choose to move second, no matter initiative.

But I'll roll it anyways:  1d20+7 : 12 + 7, total 19

Charisma:  1d20 : 6, total 6

[Lance]

The creature immediately rushes like mad towards Kin, saliva already dripping from all FIVE of its heads.

Actions will be Leaping Dragon followed by a full attack. If leaping dragon fails to reach 35ft, I'll be doing a standard action maneuver instead. Rolling for jump first before posting what I do. (Check below determines the number of feet I can move as a swift action with a jump)

Leaping Dragon:  1d20+27 : 16 + 27, total 43

[Linwelin]

Kin grins, "That's it, beastie, right this way."

The halfling waited until the glorified snake was within range, then did a sudden, vaulting jump toward it, sword raised high. "Time to carve me up a meal!" Kin shouts as he falls upon his prey. Upon landing and making a vertical strike, Kin spun around and used the momentum of the jumping slash to make two more, horizontal attacks with his sword.

Jump succeeded, rolling full attack in next post.

[Linwelin]

Attack 1:  1d20+12 : 3 + 12, total 15

Damage 1:  3d6+5 : 3, 2, 4 + 5, total 14

[Lance]

Two strikes connect, however the creature retaliates and manages to land a blow itself.

"Tch." Kin remarks as he sees the damage he's dealt beginning to recover. "So it's like that is it? I'm need to out-damage its healing, then." Though simple, the halfling dubbed brute force as his best bet, attacking once more with full strength, aiming for the body instead of its separate heads.

Kin full-attacks.

In a burst of bright light, the creature disappears from the arena grounds. "And the challenger triumphs once again! However, as much as you may have enjoyed your meal, I hope you have room for more..." the announcer began.

"...because the next opponent is absolutely delicious"

Assuming, you'll want to proceed to next round as-is. If not, be sure to state any actions you may have done, such as drinking a potion of cure light wounds.

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.

Player to roll perform and initiative!

[Linwelin]

"Nine hells...what even IS that!?" Kin continues to gape at the obviously stinky, massive blob of teeth in front of him. "What am I supposed to even DO against that!?"
