Well this is certainly an interesting development. Are there any dice check rolls necessary to be able to do as Vannox has suggested?

http://orokos.com/roll/692735 Crit fail + 24 = 25.

The wound would cause the General to double over, leaking green blood. The General hissed, "I WILL... *KIK* TEAR YOU APART FOR THAT!" Still, he was no stranger to pain... pain inflicted, and pain received, so after a moment of using his mace as a crutch to stand back up, he unfolded his wings and took flight, charging at Vannox by attempting to slash him with his axe and one of his swords. Vannox would likely have seen the attack coming, so he would have dodged to the side as Giirok landed from his short burst of flight a short distance away. He would then turn to face his opponent as he prepared his guard stance once more.

Yes, I will be spending a Hero Point to shake it off. http://orokos.com/roll/692339 1d20 + 6 = 15. A miss.

https://orokos.com/roll/692286 1d20 + 14 = 20. He hits. Darn.

The giant Andromedan hissed as he raised both his axe and his mace above his head to strike down at his smaller opponent, only for Vannox to catch both weapons with his glaive almost perfectly. Vannox would push the weapons back and dodge just as Giirok would swing both his swords, which would miss. Even if he could block the attack, the Boran likely knew the Andromedan Annihilator had the advantage in size and sheer weight, so making the insectoid lose his stability would prove to be something of a challenge, to say the least. Even so, General Giirok was no fool. He knew that, no matter what size you were, to assume something cannot seriously injure you simply because it was smaller than you is, more often than not, a fatal mistake. So he raised both his swords in a guarding position to protect his torso as he continued to circle Vannox, which left his mace-wielding and axe-wielding claws free to protect other areas of his body as he awaited his foe's next attack.

https://orokos.com/roll/691922 1d20 + 6 Attack bonus = 12. Probably a miss.

https://orokos.com/roll/691848 1d20 + 14 Toughness bonus = 33. That's what I got.

"PATHETIC-*KIK*!" In shouting this, his mandibles would unfold and all of his razor-sharp teeth, as well as some of his green drool, would be visible as he swung his axe-wielding hand in a horizontal direction to his smaller opponent's side... right into the armor, which blocked the very worst of the blow, even if it staggered Vannox to the side a little bit, temporarily making him lose his balance, though he would quickly regain his footing before the General ever got the chance to capitalize on the opportunity. The General would examine his opponent with his green compound eyes, crouching a bit and raising his weapons at the ready and hissed, making him look less like distinguished military veteran and more like a vicious, spherical spider-like monster pretending to be a person. The appearance wasn't helped by his next taunt. Now... play to your character, General. Let us see how Vannox here... and the audience... will react. He pointed his mace at his enemy. "WHEN I AM *KIK* FINISHED WITH YOU, VANNOX, THERE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH OF THE *KIK* REMAINS TO FEED ME... *KIK* OR MY SPAWN!" Just as there is a certain theatricality in the game of generals, so too is there a theatricality in making others think he wasn't much more than a savage warrior of a race known to pillage whole worlds. Luring one's enemy into underestimating him is the surest path to victory...

Okay, gotcha. http://orokos.com/roll/687884 1d20 + 6 attack bonus = 14 total. Probably not a great roll, but I will take it.

http://orokos.com/roll/687875 I got a 29. It seems I made the save, unless I am forgetting anything else.

Yes, I would still like to have him charge. http://orokos.com/roll/687622 Rolling 1d20 + 2 due to charging = 18, but please correct me if that's not how this roll works and/or forgot any bonuses that I need to be adding.

Yes, I would still like to have him charge if that's fine.

Alright... http://orokos.com/roll/685571 1d20 Rolling 1d20 + 10 = 16 Probably didn't do a lot, unless I did not roll correctly.

Can I make him do something like a Stunning Attack or Startle to try to prevent him from successfully countering as he charges?

"Don't have to tell me. I know my history. My grandparents met at Woodstock in 1969," Lucy replied. She had her own theory as to who it was, but she honestly, truly hoped that wasn't the case. C'mon, please don't let it be Tick-Tock Doc. That'd be a major downer. The man's a hippie legend and I can't have him ruining things for people with powers or people in or the flower power any more than they already have been since stuck-up Eldritch took the superhuman divinity thing too far. After a moment of entertaining her worst fears, she reminded herself to try to stay mellow. A hero needs to stay mellow in situations like these. And she really wanted to be a hero, to prove to all that superhuman divinity can have a positive impact on the world. Soon, she began again, "So... what do you think's going on? And what should I be doing in this shindig?"

Raising both his swords, which are being held by both his lower arms, to protect his torso, while preparing his upper arms, the ones holding his mace and axe, to attack, the General lumbers towards his opponent but also to the side of his opponent somewhat, but in another direction. The General's posture is slouched somewhat, and in an aggressive, almost bestial gait, not only to be on the same level as his shorter opponent, but also as an intimidation tactic, not that he seriously expected his opponent to be impressed. As the two circle towards one another, Vannox would surely be trying to keep track of the enormous Andromedan's movements. Now, even as he circles around and inches toward his opponent, his front end well-protected, ready to pounce at his enemy or dodge a ranged attack at a moment's notice, the hulking General wonders what his opponent's opening attack will be...

Before I make him do anything, it possible for the General to make a Knowledge: Tactics check, or perhaps a Sense Motive check?

I registered for Orokos. http://orokos.com/roll/684573 I rolled an 8 on the initiative roll.

So will the contestants be waiting for the announcer to... well... announce the beginning of the battle or have they already begun? Also, is there like a program I need to be using to make my dice rolls?

Giirok hardly paid attention to the slight chill of this world's winds upon his exoskeleton. He was a warrior, no stranger to pain or discomfort, even if he shared the environmental adaptability that many of his kind were designed to have. Besides, there were other, more pressing matters that demanded his attention. Such as heading off towards the fight that was about to occur. Battle was his very reason for being. It was quite literally what he was designed and hatched for. So why should it surprise anyone that he reveled in the rhythm of combat, the opportunity to prove his physical might and cow any who would dare oppose him on the field of battle? To prove that he was not just another warrior drone to be discarded on a whim? To etch proof of his existence into history? It was the one aspect of his current situation that he could take joy in, especially given everything that happened in the recent months. He had lost so much lately. His army. His kingdom. His very authority. Contact with his people. And his beloved Brood-Queen. He had gone from a conqueror to a slave in such a short time. How far he had fallen. And he had the usurper Kekarx to blame for it. But he would gain his vengeance... eventually. After he inevitably wins the gladiatorial circuits, of course. Rekindled in the will to fight, and having reminded himself of his new purpose, he unsheathed his weapons... all four of them, from the holsters on the side of his sash... and stomped out towards his side of the arena. The spectators would see him now... how massive he truly was in both height and weight. Far larger than any normal Andromedan had any right to be. Not only was he ten Terran feet tall, it was difficult for most to tell just where his thorax ended and his abdomen began. At first glance, he could be mistaken for being the Andromedan equivalent of being morbidly obese, but being almost completely round in shape wasn't so much an impediment when one was as heavily naturally armored and as strong as he. If one looked carefully enough from the crowds, they could even see the medals he had earned over his career, pinned to his very exoskeleton, proof of his experience in the art of war, and a remnant of what he once was. All these things, combined with him wielding a mace, an axe and two swords, in each of his hands, as well as the fact that he was an Andromedan, a member of a race of roving interstellar predators, almost certainly made for quite a fearsome sight. While he was more intelligent than the average drone, even he had to admit, he liked playing to their image of a ravenous insectoid barbarian warlord. Thinking of this, and the satisfaction in doing what he was made to do, General Giirok unfolded his mandibles and roared his mightiest battle cry, exposing rows of sharp teeth. A battle cry that likely sounded like a harsh, blood-curdling screech to the spectators, all while striking a pose as he puffed up his already-rotund thorax and raised each of his weapons outward and upward, clearly conveying the message that he was a monster ready for any challenge the circuits posed to him. He was eager to begin. "SHOW ME MY OPPONENT! I HAVE BESTED ALL THE OTHERS IN THE FIELD OF BATTLE, AND TODAY SHALL BE NO DIFFERENT!!"

I made the PL corrections by lowering his strength to 32, then filled in the missing PP with the Fearless feat, a couple of ranks in both Knowledge: Tactics and Perform: Oratory, and a couple of ranks in Super-Strength.

@Fox, I moved the Multiple weapons feat from the Strike power to the Device and adjusted costs accordingly. I also changed the descriptor for Toughness from Strength to Constitution. Also added Zultasian to fill in the missing language.

I added in Growth modifier marks.
