Lord_Gareth 09-16-06, 09:50 PM	((Alright, welcome to my first stab at a roleplaying thread. I'd like to lay down some ground rules. First off ((these nifty buggers)) are for OOC. I'd like you to submit a character description and general background as well, before getting into things. A character here cannot be elsewhere and vice versa. Hence, Lord Gareth isn't here, as he is at Krede's Cafe at the moment. This may change, but for now, his right-hand gal is here.)) Important Arena Characters Lord Gareth the Cold Human Male Gareth is tall, at 5'10" in height. He seems taller becasue of his plate mail, which is covrred in grinning skulls. He wears no helm, and his deep-sunk eyes are violet. His blonde hair is pale as death on his ash-grey skin. Wherever Gareth goes, an aura of icy mist follows him, pouring forth from the skulls on his armor and he crossguard on his sword. Whatever he stands on freezes after a certain amount of time ((most of the Arena is enchanted to prevent this, everything but the combat floor)). He can manipulate and call upon ice and cold at will, and his sword is enchanted to cut through anything capable of existing in the D&D multiverse, including magic. Jaden Blackblade. Human Female Jaden is an imposing figure. She stands at 6'11", in six-inch thick black plate mail. A greatsword is strapped to her back, only two inches shorter than she is. Two shortswords are strapped to her hips, sheathless. All three swords look pretty generic. Her face is narrow, but beautiful, with pale blonde hair and piercing green eyes. Dominating her left cheek is a dark green pentagram. To those of oyu hurling Detect Alignment spells, Jaden shows up as Lawful Good. She is also the activity director of the Arena. ((As to the Arena Itself, it's similar to the Roman Collusaeum. There are seats for the crowd, prep areas for fighters, six entrances, many hallways, and one area for sign-ups to compete. Jaden sits behind a desk, in full armor, sharpening her swords menacingly. Have a blast!)) Above the sign-up desk is a plaque stating the rules of the arena. There are four types of matches (deathmatch, first blood, knockout, yield), and before you fight you must sign a waiver and give a fighter class (normal, good, great, elite, god-like). It also states that there is a 10 gold entry fee, and that every four victories nets you 1000 gold pieces or an item from the armory. Every one hundred victories can, at your option, up your class.
Lord_Gareth 09-16-06, 10:18 PM	Two lumbering giants do battle to the roar of the crowd, blood spraying and bones cracking as their crude clubs bash against each other. Jaden Blackblade watches the fight with a sense of wistful longing, then turns to her registration desk and an almost empty folder with applicant names. "Damn dragon competitions. Taking away all our buisiness. I'd go kill the beasts myself, if there weren't so many. Good thing these giants were too dumb to find the place." Jaden resumes sharpening her shortswords, gazing almost lazily at the the entrance to her little area.
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 04:30 AM	((Forgive my cartoon ripping (the new TMNT cartoon in this case) ;) Meet Traximus, a male anthropomorphic triceratops (dinosaurs are animals in 3.5 afterall). He stands about 9 feet tall and has a Large Greatsword strapped across his back, whilst wearing Spiked Mithral Fullplate. Other gear includes an Animated Spiked Adamantine Heavy Shield, a pair of Daggers and a Composite Longbow. He shows as Neutral Good on any Detect Alignment spells. He generally looks quite calm, especially when he's about to enter the arena, but beware when he has entered, he's no pushover. P.S.: This arena is a cool idea, I hope a lot of people will post here. Maybe there will even be enough posts for the boards' own Creature Competition :D ))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 07:52 AM	((I assume you walked into where Jaden is sitting, and will respond accordingly.)) Jaden looks up at the newcomer. "Well, there's an ugly mug if I ever saw one. What can I do for you?" A giant outside slams his club into a wall, cracking it, and Jaden leans out to yell. "DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE!" Instantly, both giants jump nervously and stare at her in fear until she leans back inside. "What can I do for you?"
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 08:00 AM	Traximus replies: "I've come here because I've heard of an arena where mighty battles are fought and I want to test my mettle. True glory is, after all, achieved in combat. However, when I see the current combatants, I fear that I have come to the wrong place, or that if this is the right place after all, it isn't such a great colloseum of glory after all."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:07 AM	"No, this is the right place. The dragon competitions have been taking away buisiness. Our own fighters have been languishing with no one to challenge. That, and I scare people. I assume you are here to compete, so we have some forms..." Jaden pulls out a piece of paper and a pencil. The form is pretty simple, stating that you have paid the entry fee (10 gold), that the Arena is in no way responsible if you die, and that in the event that a ressurection fails, you will not haunt the premesis. Down below is a place to sign your name. "I hate these things, but I have to do it or Helm's priests shut us down." ((Now, I actually have several classes of fighters planned out, so I'll need you to honestly evaluate yourself and pick one. We have: Normal, good, great, Elite, and God-like. Jaden will say it is a random selection, but I don't want my first poster dieing a horrible death))
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 08:43 AM	((Well, about my character's prowess. I think there pretty good. Traximus gets +12 Str, +0 Dex, +10 Con and 11 Int, +4 Wis, +0 Cha. That's at 3d8 Monstrous Humanoid HD, +2 LA (like an anthro-elephant. Here are all the changes and stuff because of race (I can't post a complete character, since I don't know what ECL he should be, so if you want the complete thing, let me know the ECL please (if that is important, that is): Large Monstrous Humanoid Hit Dice: 3d8 (34 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 30 ft.

If the ECL increases I'll probably add levels of Barbarian and Fighter.))
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 08:50 AM	Traximus: "Very well, I'll sign. Brother, what a paperwork for some gladiatorial matches." (Signs in as a "Good" fighter (I may change this to "Great" if the ECL goes up)) "By the way, will I be meeting you in the arena as well? If so, prepare for a dire challenge. Among my own people and in my homeland I've yet to be defeaten." (Starts polishing one of his daggers)
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 09:33 AM	((I want to avoid game mechanics)) Jaden chuckles lightly. "If you face me, you'd have beaten every other fighter in this arena. I'm the best, kid, next to the guy who runs the place. Alright, let me find you an opponent, it looks like those giants are finishing up." Even as she speaks, one of the giants takes a club to the face and his head flies clean off his shoulders. "Alright, let's see...We got you up agains Endeca Spellweaver. Oof, that doesn't bode well for you. Or the audience. Or the laws of reality. You have five minutes to get ready, then follow this map out to the arena floor." Jaden hands you a map. "Good luck. You'll need it."
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 09:37 AM	((Very well, no game mechanics it is)) "Okay, can you tell me anything about my opponent? And by the way, who's the guy running this place anyway?" (Breaks out his greatsword and starts to get ready by rehearsing some techniques while he waits for an answer)
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 09:40 AM	"I'm not allowed to tell you much, but I can say that this girl is a Chaos Mage. Very flashy and popular, yes, but last week one of our audience members was turned into dracolich by accident. Wasn't pretty." Jaden adjusts in her seat, her armor creaking and rasping metallicly. "As to the man who runs the place, that's Lord Gareth, often called 'The Cold' 'round here. If you face him, may the gods have mercy upon you, for he will not."
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 09:43 AM	"So it's a spellcaster, very well. Let's get this over with." (Grabs the map Jaden offered from her desk and walks of towards the arena entrance with a calm, but determined look on his horned face.)
The_Bard_No_One_Wanted 09-17-06, 10:02 AM	A man walks into the Arena Lobby (if it can be called that.) He is about 5'6'', and every inch of his extremely muscular body is covered in weapons of all sorts and sizes. Its a wonder he can even walk. He flashes a smile at Jaden. "Why 'ello darlin', how might you be this fine day? I heard that this here place be an Arena beyond compare, would I be wrong in assumin' that? Oh, and by the way.." The man takes Jaden's hand, and kisses it. "Karloff Nichtmann, at your service." (OOC) See my sig for a little more description of Karloff. His actual level may vary, for purposes of roleplaying. (OOC)
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 10:42 AM	As you step onto the arena floor, your opponent is clearly visible to you. Endeca wears loose-fitting pants with a sleeveless tunic. A hood unsucessfully tries to hide her bright pink hair. An astonishing collection of random junk covers her. A pickled thought eater, flasks, and other unidentifiable items hang from straps, sheaths, and jury-rigged harnesses. At her side is a raipier and pokin out of her left boot is a dagger hilt. A gigantic spellbook hangs from her hip, seeming too large for her short and slender frame.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 10:44 AM	A man walks into the Arena Lobby (if it can be called that.) He is about 5'6'', and every inch of his extremely muscular body is covered in weapons of all sorts and sizes. Its a wonder he can even walk. He flashes a smile at Jaden. "Why 'ello darlin', how might you be this fine day? I heard that this here place be an Arena beyond compare, would I be wrong in assumin' that? Oh, and by the way.." The man takes Jaden's hand, and kisses it. "Karloff Nichtmann, at your service." (OOC) See my sig for a little more description of Karloff. His actual level may vary, for purposes of roleplaying. (OOC) Jaden stares at you levelly. "You did indeed come to the Arena, but I'll have you know I'm happily married. My husband hates people who flirt with me. Now, I can't schedule you for a match at the moment, as we have one going on, but if you care to watch, I can set you up right after. I always like watching Endeca fight."
The_Bard_No_One_Wanted 09-17-06, 10:46 AM	"I'll have you know that I absolutly was not flirting with a beautiful woman such as yourself. I would die before I was seen doing so!" He winks, and smiles again, but catches the hint and lays off the charm. "If you could set me up with a match afterward, I'd watch wh'tever ye got goin' on."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 10:49 AM	Well, right now we've got one of our resident gladiators against a newcomer with a really ugly mug. This place is basically a skybox, you can see the match out the window. Just watch out, where this girl is concerned, the laws of reality don't apply." Jaden swivels her chair around to watch the brewing match.
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 10:51 AM	Traximus makes a grim warrior's salute by raising his mighty greatsword. He activates his animated shield which detaches from his left shoulder and charges, his mighty sword in his muscular arms ready to strike the pink haired caster. At about ten feet distance he jumps, sword held above his head, ready to come down with a thunderous blow.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 10:55 AM	((well...you were supposed to wait for hte go-ahead and choose a match type, but no worries. They've had situations like this before)) Endeca slaps the pickled thought eater, teleporting to the area where Traximus was just standing. She whips a foot-long iron rod from out of her sleeve and shouts a command word. A stream of fist-sized emeralds arcs towards you at a painful-looking velocity.
The_Bard_No_One_Wanted 09-17-06, 10:56 AM	"Very nice aerial leap.. kids got guts as well as talent, I'll give him that." Karloff murmers to himself as he looks out the window. He winces slightly watching the pink haired persons counter attack.
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 11:03 AM	((Sorry about the go ahead thing, I didn't know that.If Traximus survives this battle, I'll think about it in future matches.)) As the saurian sees the magical phenomenon shoot towards him, he attempts to dodge it and turn as to strike the mage with his great blade in a reaction. ((By the way, do I also describe the hits Traximus makes myself or do you decide the outcome of each of his actions (so wether he hits his opponent and how hard he hits)? And even though you didn't want to go into game mechanics, I've got to ask: what about (basic) magic items, such as boots of flying or a flaming weapon, that sort of stuff. That info will help me describe Traximus' actions and tactics, that's why I want to know, so thanx.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 11:07 AM	((Ever read a D&D book? That's how you describe magical things. Make the effect work in whatever way you might think it'll work. Flaming swords would be...on fire. I'm not sure on describing hits, but we should give general distances. If you think your character can avoid something, do so, but be honest. I don't wanna see people with 3 Dexterity equivalents dodging Magic Missles.)) Endeca sees the huge warrior charging her and raises her hands, barking out a few quick words. A swarm of butterlies erupts from her hands, and her face betrays her panic...right until the swarm coalesces into a huge bull elephant, charging right at her opponent.
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 11:18 AM	As Traximus sees the creature charging, he grins and starts charging as well. As he comes closer he jumps up, sword held high and eventually striking his blade into the beast. The beast still lives, but looks severely weakened. The horned one now looks at the mage and starts charging her once again.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 11:20 AM	Endeca swears loudly and drops low, slamming her hands into the ground. "Earth!" The mage sinks into the ground in the blink of an eye, only to re-surface some twenty feet away. "Air!" A roaring wall of wind appears, surrounding her. It looks nasty. Up in the balcony, Jaden leans closer to the window. "She's gonna do it! For the first time in a year!"
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 11:39 AM	As Traximus sees the woman disappear and then reappear he holds his charge. Laying eyes on the wall of wind he decides not to waste any time and charges to the new location of the caster, trying to get to her before she ends her spell. As he once again leaps into the air, he unleashes a mighty battlecry en dives upon the caster, striking her with his blade.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 11:53 AM	((That is 100 mile-an-hour wind. Think your character can get through it? I'll delay the rest of the actions until you answer, so as not to create confusion.))
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 12:00 PM	((Ow sorry, next time post some effects of the spell, so I know what happens if Traximus does something stupid ;) )) As the thick skinned saurian tries to jump through the wall of wind he is blasted back and falls onto the ground. As he curses to himself in his native tongue, he gets up en runs around the wall ((or is it a cylindrical wall?)) trying to find a new opening for a charge, whilst keeping his defense up. For he has now learned that this opponent can be tougher than she appears.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 12:06 PM	((I'll keep that in mind. The wind, by the way, is a dome, but you won't have to worry about it in a second.)) Endeca whirls to face you. The spell (and you realize this has all been one spell)) is swirling around her. "Fire!" A concussive (knockback) blast of fire rips through the dome, dispelling it and surging forward in an attempt to consume the saurian. ((The fire is a 40 foot cone))
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 12:16 PM	As the horned creature sees the flames come towards him he grins:"Finally something of a challenge." and tries to outrun the flames. As he runs he can feel the heat approach him and scorch at least some of his tail and back. Luckily he still manages to outrun the full force of the blast. After this close call and his now somewhat burned tail the saurian charges again from about 40 ft. distance. As he closes he notices that the fire attack has sapped away some of his life force, more than he wanted it to. He continues none the less, knowing that he musn't give the mage a chance to cast another spell, and after a mighty jump he strikes at the mage with his great blade once again.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 12:17 PM	"Ice!" A great, spiked wall of ice appears in the Saurians path. Behind it, you can see the young mage finishing her spell. ((The wall appears about three feet in front of you))
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 12:22 PM	The saurian already is in mid-air, so there's no ending the attack now. Instead he brings the full force of his blade and his bulk into contact with the ice, crashing through it and coming down on the arena floor that is now partially filled with ice shards, whilst establishing a clear path to the mage, who must do her best to avoid the ice shards flying in all directions, once again. (he's now at about 5 ft. distance from the mage)
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 12:27 PM	((Sweeeet! Two pages. Hey, invite some friends man, there's plent of room for battle royals)) Endeca stays in place, getting cut up by the shards but finishing the somatic components of her spell. "CHAOS DIMENSION!" A multi-colored gash in reality opens up behind her and she drops to her knees, exhausted. A tree springs into being in front of you, a flock of doves erupts from an overhead cloud, but one thing really stands out. Her collection of junk starts moving. A mummified hand leaps off and crawls to you. The pickled thought eater unleashes psychic attacks on your mind, and various weapons and flasks filled with materials fly through the air with deadly purpose. The gash closes, but not before unleashing one last surge of energy that covers the entire arena floor with white mice.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 12:33 PM	((By the way, Endeca's ripped pretty ragged. You know that if this doesn't stop you, you have her. She's finished.))
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 12:37 PM	The small critters and other stuff don't bother Traximus, but he does notice that his mind is starting to feel strange. As he tries to keep it together he feels that it's getting harder by the second. With some of his last sense remaining he sees that the only way to stop this mental attack is to stop it's source, the mage. He stumbles around the tree, in the meantime trying to ignore the assaults on his physical form. With so much of his health gone already, he manages to pick up the mage that had collapsed onto the ground, all be it with a lot of effort, and tries to toss her into the portal of swirling chaos.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 12:39 PM	((Portal had already closed, see above, but at the moment, she's limp as a noodle and out cold.)) The mummified hand leaps at your face, scrabbling to gouge out eyes and scratch up your face.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 12:45 PM	A ragged figure wlks through the entrance of the arena. Looking for the sign up desk he wanders up towards the two look out of the window. Looking breafly at the fight's insuing battle with in the arena he then stands off to one side waiting patiently for the fight's end.
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 12:45 PM	While keeping his eyes closed against the gouging,Traximus removes the hand from his face with a swipe of his hand, all be it with a lot of effort. With his last strength he grips his trusty blade with two hands, holds it above his head, and let it come down on the mage with un unearthly battlecry. Exhausted after this last act of physical strength, the creature struggles to remain standing, and listens for the roar of the crowd.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 12:46 PM	((Excellent, a new fighter! This should end soon))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 12:47 PM	The crowd has roars like a great beast, seeing the fight's conclusion at hand. The sword comes down, and a flash of light surges through the air. You find yourself in the sign-up room, your sword sheathed, with the young mage at your feet. Jaden turns around. "Congratulations. You've won. You may want to pass out now, it helps to sleep it off."
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 12:56 PM	Traximus hears Jaden's words and asks her for somewhere to sit, perhaps a meal to regain his strength and some healing before his next match begins and of course a view of the next match to assess his future opponents. ((I'm leaving this thread for now, I'll probably won't have enough time for a new match untill next weekend due to a lot of school work, just maybe some non combat roleplay. I hope you understand. However, I will be back, for Traximus will continue to defend his honour in the arena. Untill then I wish all other combatants the best of luck and I thank Lord Gareth for this great thread.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 12:58 PM	((Alrighty then.)) Jaden hands Traximus another map, this one heading to temporary dormatories. It also has an idiot-proof red line leading to the hospital wing. "Great fight. Don't worry about the mage, we'll take care of her." Jaden looks up at the newcomer ((oblivionsfate)). "Can I help you?"
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 01:03 PM	Seeing the battles end, as well as the apperence of the two contestents, Zane ((ragged figure)) walks over to the sign up desk and asks Jaden "Are you the person I have to talk to to get a piece of the action?" For those who happen to notice his clothes are of average norm. for the era. He wears no weapons save for a small sword straped to his waist. He is about 5'11'' and of slender frame.
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 01:04 PM	Traximus salutes Jaden and the newcomer and heads for the hospital wing. After receiving healing there he heads towards the temporary dormatories and drops his gear. He picks up some food and decides to consume it by the window, watching the arena and waiting for the next match, so that he may watch, and possibly learn from or about, his future opponents.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:06 PM	Jaden stares levelly at the newcomer. "A piece of the action would be part of the cash. However, if you want to fight, I'm your gal." ((Before you get signed up, estimate your character, honestly, at either normal, good, great, elite, or God-like. I'd rather not have you killed horribly ;) )) Jaden pulls out a form and a pencil. The form states that the arena isn't responsible for your death, that you understand and have paid the ten gold entry fee, and that in the event of a failed ressurection spell, your ghost will not haunt the premesis. "Sign this, and I'll find you an opponent."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 01:11 PM	((He is between Good and Great. Well that is in my book. Although if we were to asign lvls he'd be about 10-12 of psion.)) "Money is no problem," states Zane. Taking a bag from his belt he dumps the contants on to the desk, Leaving a large pile of gold coins ((about 200gp)). "Is this enough?" He signs the paper after reading it carefully.
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 01:16 PM	((Just for the record, Traximus would also be about ECL 12 (3 levels of monstrous humanoid and a +2 LA , bbn1/ftr6), and I've decided to definitely list him as Good, not Great))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:17 PM	"We only need ten gold peices, so yes. There's prize money, buy the way. We keep records of every match. For every four opponents defeated, you get five hundred gold pieces or a random piece of junk from our armory, whatever you prefer. Let me find someone." Jaden flips a die into the air. You cannot possibly tell how many sides this die has. The die lands, producing the image of a half-elven male with a longsword and tight-fitting studded leather. His bright blue hair is cropped short, and his ears are unusually long, ending half-a-foot past his head. "Valeri Glaniti. Alright, you've seen your opponent, you have five minutes to prepare." Jaden hands you a map of the arena.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:18 PM	((Just for the record, Traximus would also be about ECL 12 (3 levels ofmonstrous humanoid and a +2 LA , bbn1/ftr6), and I've decided to definitely list him as Good, not Great)) ((Well, you kinda got unlucky. She was a Chaos Mage man, anyone coulda been beat with the right warping of reality. However, I'll keep your change in mind for future bouts.))
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 01:21 PM	((Thanks. I salute you, Lord Gareth.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 01:25 PM	"Ok, well then I will just have to fight twenty matches," he says. "However lets just focus on the here and now." With out a moments hesitation he jumps out the window and floats down to the floor of the arena.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 01:26 PM	((By the way what happened to the bard dude))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:27 PM	You can barely hear Jaden murmur "Pompus a$$," on your way down. At the arena floor stands your opponent. A magic mouth opens up in the middle of the arena floor. "As our guest, you have choice of match type. Death, yield, first blood, or knockout?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:28 PM	((By the way what happened to the bard dude)) ((What you saw was an illusion created by her magic die, one of her random selection methods.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 01:30 PM	"For the moment Knock out," he states. "Oh by the way Jaden, I heard that," Zane relays tepathicly.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 01:32 PM	((Yes I knew that I ment "the bard no one wanted" or something to that effect. Oh by the way in case you have not found out I suck at spelling so please keep that in mind because I will be spelling something wroung))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:33 PM	Jaden's voice reverberates through your mind painfully (but not enough to impair fighting). "My head is not a good place to go. The last person who tried is still in there, trapped in my nightmares." The blue-haired half-elf gives a nod to the mouth, which pronounces the match begun. Wastin now time, the elfling draws his blade and begins singing as he moves towards you cautiously.
Golem011 09-17-06, 01:34 PM	A tall, female half-elf walks into the office, her hips swaying seductively as she pouts at every man in sight. Her clothes change with every movement, and she carries a slim, twisted staff in one hand, bound in gold and spun with golden runes in some long-forgotten language. The same runes cover her skin, shifting and changing even as she stops in front of Jaden, an appraising look on her face. Short, curved knives hang from her belt and harness, and a scimitar hangs loosely in a sheath from her back. "The name's Ahali, lady." (OOC) She's somewhere at the mid-higher end of elite... (OOC)
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:34 PM	((Your character doesn't know this, but so you don't cry B.S. later, the song he's currently singing negates fire attacks.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:36 PM	A tall, female half-elf walks into the office, her hips swaying seductively as she pouts at every man in sight. Her clothes change with every movement, and she carries a slim, twisted staff in one hand, bound in gold and spun with golden runes in some long-forgotten language. The same runes cover her skin, shifting and changing even as she stops in front of Jaden, an appraising look on her face. Short, curved knives hang from her belt and harness, and a scimitar hangs loosely in a sheath from her back. "The name's Ahali, lady." (OOC) She's somewhere at the mid-higher end of elite... (OOC) Jaden looks at the newcomer. "Elves, the skimpiest dressers the world over. Come to compete, girl?" ((I'd like to note that whenever Jaden says "Boy", "girl", or "Kid", she is referring to someone very young))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 01:36 PM	Pulling a scroll out of a pouch Zane, peforms some arcane jestures and relleases the spell stoping all sound with in the arena's fight area. Or at least he tries...
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:38 PM	The song stops, and the elfling stops moving, surprised. But then he touches a rune on his sword, and you hear his words again, not of the same song, but one of all forms of noise. Quiet, loud, subtle, blaring, every range of sound you are capable of hearing. ((And yes, this guy is grounded in D&D rules. There are ways bards have around Silence))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:40 PM	((the song is now negating sonic-based effects. If he stops singing it, the silence returns))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 01:44 PM	A strange light starts to come from Zanes body, and a wave of electrcity shoots out at the elf. ((Energy burst 40ft radius from me)). Not waiting for to see the outcome he runs towards the elf drawing his sword.
Golem011 09-17-06, 01:44 PM	For some reason, the woman laughs when Jaden calls her an elf. "Why else would I be here, human?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:46 PM	A strange light starts to come from Zanes body, and a wave of electrcity shoots out at the elf. ((Energy burst 40ft radius from me)). Not waiting for to see the outcome he runs towards the elf drawing his sword. The half-elf counters by changing his song, blasting out with a cone of sheer sonic force. He meets your charge, runes on his sword flashing with power.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:47 PM	For some reason, the woman laughs when Jaden calls her an elf. "Why else would I be here, human?" "Well, there's plenty of call for spectators and other such people. We're in the middle of a match at the moment, if you'd care to watch. I cannot interrupt this or schedule another match until this one ends. I'd like to ask you one question though: We're due for a mass battle soon, care to participate?"
Golem011 09-17-06, 01:50 PM	She nods. "I ALWAYS enjoy testing myself..." She twirls her golden staff in between her fingers and laughs.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 01:52 PM	As the two are about to meat Zane jumps up into the air. Mid air he pulls off hiscloak ravealling a pair of black feather wings ((Half-celestial)). Flaping his wings he hovers near the top of the arena.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 01:53 PM	Jaden pulls out another form and hands you the pencil. She also drops a tin can on the desk and drops all the sign-in money into it. "Sign the form, drop in your ten gold, and watch the show while our gladiatiors prepare."
Golem011 09-17-06, 02:01 PM	The woman motions with her hand once, and the pencil flies upwards and signs the paper itself. She smirks in a self-satisfied way, and then looks around to see if there're any rich men in the vicinity...
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 02:07 PM	((If you can, get some friends for the mass battle. Three others should do. I don't want to be controlling everyone but you :( ))
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-17-06, 02:11 PM	((I know of at least one friend that might be interested. He's not a member on the boards yet but I'll send him an e-mail anyway.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 02:12 PM	After catching his breath Zane shots out a swarm of crystals towards the elf and then charges the elf with intent to attack with his sword.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 02:14 PM	The half-elf unleashes his sound blast yet again, sweeping the crystals aside with its force, and attacks with his longsword, trying to use superior reach to stay out of striking range. The crowd roars at the flashy spells and swordwork as the bard's sword glows with power runes.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 02:21 PM	Relizing at this rate he will lose, Zane flys back out of the reach of the elf and starts to concentrate on his most powerfull power, an assortment of colors flash around him. As he unleashes his power he starts to fall to the ground exhausted. The power unleashes a blinding light that fills the areana with a brilent mix of the elements. The light spreads out to engulf the elf in a deadly attack.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 02:25 PM	The half-elf's face goes into an "Oh Shiznit" look as he dives to one side and raises a raging wall of sound. It is, however, for naught. When the dust clears, he's swaying on his feet. Moments later, he collapses to the ground, out cold.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 02:33 PM	Saddly Zane is unaware of his enimies defeat for he is knocked out on the ground((Falling head first into the ground can do that to you)).
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 02:34 PM	The magic Mouth appears, declaring the match a draw by double-knockout. Both combatants re-appear in the sign-up room, where a pair of clerics proceed to cast Heal upon you. When you become consious, the bard bows to you and walks off to his dormotories.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 02:40 PM	"Well the was fun but I you ladies don't mind I am in need of a little Recharge and i think an eight hour nap will hit the spot. May I use your facilities or do i need to go else where for a bed?" he asks Jaden.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 02:42 PM	"You can sleep here." Jaden hands points to your map. "Just look for dormotories." ((Think you can participate in the mass battle?))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 02:44 PM	((Quite certain I will be able to provide that they aren't within say 9 hours in game time. Oh and do you have objections to multiple charracters per person say like 2 or three charries))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 02:46 PM	((As long as you can keep tabs on the locations of all of them, I don't mind multiple characters. However, only one character per fight. You read the first post, right? The only other place here characters can go seems to be Krede's, so they're either here or there, unless someone makes a new RP thread.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 02:55 PM	((Ok now what about this mass battle would multiple be allowed into that fight. I am fine either way just want to know. Besides that makes it so much easier to keep track off that is only one per battle.)) A small girl walks in to the sign up Desk and ask what the fare to enter is. She is an elf child. She wears an odd getup for such a youngling. That is a full wizards robe, which on the front of has a small patch which has the symbol of the wizards school Acanaium embrodered on it.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 02:57 PM	((One character per fight. Any fight.)) Jaden looks up at the elf child. "Miss, you sure you want in here? Even our wretched normal fighters look like they could steamroll you."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 03:04 PM	"I was sent to find out for my master. You see he wants us, that is his students to partisipate in some atcuall combat as a graduation test. So he sent me though why me I don't get I am just biggener at this magic thing." As she speaks a plant pot explodes near the dorr. "Sorry sometimes it just slips. Maybe I can fix it for you?" As she runs over to the pot she trips over her robe falling flat on her face.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 03:07 PM	Jaden sighs and the pot is sucked into a miniature portal. "Automatic cleaning system, empties out into Limbo. Go fetch your master and tell him to show his craven face, instead of sending a student for him. I've no patience for cowards."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 03:12 PM	((By the way the Master isn't one of my main characters I see him as just an NPC)) "As you wish," she states. Pulling out a scroll she cast a minor spell and then states, "He will be here shortly. But first he must finish something. Do you mind if I just stay here. Don't have much else to do?" ((By the way she is a first lvl sorrceress maybe not even consider fisrt lvl if at all posible.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 03:18 PM	"Not at all, just don't touch anything. The consequences could be worse than Endeca's castings." Jaden waits patiently for The Master to arrive.
Golem011 09-17-06, 03:21 PM	Ahali sways her way across the room, her skimpy clothes and runes still shifting constantly. "So, who shall I fight?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 03:26 PM	Jaden drums her fingers irritably. "At the moment, it would seem you fight no one, but this girl says her Master wants to put students through real combat as a kind of test. You may well be fighting one of them."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 03:34 PM	"Ok, He should be here with in a few minutes." She sits down and pulls out a snack and starts to eat it. As she said the master shows up in a few minutes. He has a long flowing gray beard and wears your traditional wizards robes. Ignoring Jaden he starts to yell at the girl, "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!! YOU LITTLE INGRAT YOU CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH ENTRY IS TO THIS HOLE IN THE WAY PLACE." Turning to Jaden, the Master says calmly, "What is the price for 9 entries against low powered competers perferable melee fighters?" ((by the way The master is about 18th lvl power range))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 03:40 PM	Jaden's sword arm doesn't seem to move at all, yet the Master finds her 6'9" greatsword pressing against his throat. "Yell at that girl again, and I will beat you like a red-headed stepchild. Nine entrants cost ninety gold. Show me the money, and if I catch wind of a spell, you'll find out exactly how little good magic does against death."
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 03:46 PM	A short ((3'1')) person in the dirt-encrusted tatters of a deep-hooded cloak slips in completely silently, almost as if his feet don't quite touch the ground. Just as quietly, but with significantly greater presence, a reek of stomach-churning foulness follows him in. "Um, I must be in the wrong place. This looks and sounds like a schoolhouse, or a night at home with the family. I was told there'd be a lot of carrion and severed parts here....?" he query-states in a faintly goblin-accented wheeze. "Oh, I see, here comes the carrion now," he adds as the sword comes out. ((I have no experience whatsoever with play by post, some with diceless gaming... please bear with me.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 03:51 PM	((To fight or not fight that is the question. Problably make a better vilan latter than a dead guy now so no fight.)) Pushing the sword away form his throat he says "Fine I will take my busness else where. Oh and Cali Don't show up to my school again!" And with a flash he disapears. The Patch on Cali's robe crubles to dust((Cali is the elven girl))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 03:52 PM	Jaden glances at the newcomer. "Cannibals. Look, if you want severed limbs and carrion, get into a death match in the arena floor. At that point, you keep what you kill. Until then, don't eat anyone, or I will grab this mage by the ankles and beat you to death with him."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 03:52 PM	((We'll have enough people for the mass battle! YES!))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 03:53 PM	The shabby stinker pauses for a beat, then turns to the little girl. "What a horse's backside. He could have an accident. I... know people." He takes a quick step back from the large woman with the sword. "Cannibal? Hardly. And I do have manners, you know... just unusual ones. So, it's an arena is it? What all are the rules?" ((For anyone using detections, this fellow registers as neutral evil, and undead.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 03:55 PM	Jaden glares with renewed strength at the newcomer. "I don't care if you plan assasinations, but kindly do so elsewhere. We're barely legal as it is."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 03:56 PM	"As to the rules, you pay a ten gold entry fee. You declare what class of fighter you believe yourself to be and sign our form. Then we randomly select an opponent and you beat all Nine Hells out of each other. Simple, yet effective."
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 03:58 PM	He raises his long-nailed, pail and wrinkled hands before him, and speaks in some approximation of a soothing tone. "Alright, okay, next time that ghost turns up I'll suggest she give better directions and details. I apologize. So what, exactly, is the deal, good mistress of the arena? Ahh, I see...... class of fighter, you say? I'll have to mull that one over..." He digs into a pocket for the necessary gold pieces while he thinks. ((I'm thinking high end Normal to low end Good, tough call... ECL 9, but no equipment whatsoever, actual level 6.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 03:58 PM	Seeing the newcomer Cali ran behind Jaden and peeks out from behind her leg to keep an eye on the newcomer. (( Scratch that)) "What are you?" ask Cali with a supsios tone in her vioce
Golem011 09-17-06, 04:01 PM	The woman moves over to the child. "Hey, sweetie, don't worry about him..." Suddenly, her body begins to twist and shift. The runes are still there, but blue, her skin is dark, and her face is human, as is her body. "Ah. Human feels so much better than elf."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:03 PM	"This arena's been around for awhile, as a vent for agression and bloodlust. If you sign up, you have contracted yourself to fight for at least one battle. Every battle costs you 10 gold unless you become a member of the Gladitorial Guild, our personal fighters. You may or may not fight a Guild member, or you may or may not fight another Arena guest. The choice is mine. There are a few kinds of match, and a magic mouth will ask you which you prefer. We have deathmatch, first blood, yield, and knockout. What you do with the body after a deathmatch is your own buisiness, but do it away from the public. On all the others, however, your opponent will be raised from the dead in the event of his or her death." "In addition, every four victories nets you one thousand gold pieces or an item from our armory. Every one hundred victories will up you a fighter class. You can self-evalutate your own class to start with and may refuse promotions as you desire. The classes are Normal, Good, Great, Elite, and God-Like. Should you defeat every Gladiator, you face me. Should you defeat me, you face the Master of the Arena." "Understand?"
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 04:10 PM	"In addition, every four victories nets you one thousand gold pieces or an item from our armory. Every one hundred victories will up you a fighter class. You can self-evalutate your own class to start with and may refuse promotions as you desire. The classes are Normal, Good, Great, Elite, and God-Like. Should you defeat every Gladiator, you face me. Should you defeat me, you face the Master of the Arena. ((You raised the prize money)) "Thank you!" She says with her best grown up vioce. "Do people die here?"
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 04:12 PM	He shakes his hooded head quickly in response to Cali's first question. "Not alive, heavens no. Dead, meat is meat, whether animal or... other." He chuckles airily, and adds "Though I could never even consider someone such things for such a charming young girl, and her apparently multitalented defender." He nods at the apparent shapechanger at that, and listens to Jaden's words carefully. "Alright, I understand. Though I could hardly be called Normal, I think it's probably a fitter title than Good, at least until I've seen what the competition is like, and earn the right to some equipment... I recently lost my own, you see. Deathmatches for me, please, and I'll be sure to leave enough for resurrection regardless." He walks over and picks up a pencil and form from the desk, filling them out, muttering the entries under his breath as he writes them out. "Bad Lung, Normal class, age 127 years, evolved ghouled goblin, default to Deathmatch..."
Khael 09-17-06, 04:12 PM	"Aw, the little child is scared of the dead...", a rasping voice behind everyone calls out.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 04:13 PM	Bad Lung glances over his shoulder quickly at the rasping note.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:13 PM	((oops. Well, use the higher one)) Sheathing her blade, Jaden looks down on the elven child ((Remember, Jaden is 6'11")). "Yes, but deathmatches require the consent of both sides. If one or the other disagrees, it become knockout. We haven't had a true deathmatch in a few months, though our resident Chaos Mage accidentally killed someone. We had to actually go to the Other Side and drag them through a planar gate to ressurect them..."
Golem011 09-17-06, 04:17 PM	The Shapechanger's head lashes around, her hands going to her knives and her runes flashing golden. "YOU?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:19 PM	((Please, read the first post. If you walk in, I want a description, please. Also, the first post has all the rules Jaden just explained.))
Khael 09-17-06, 04:19 PM	"I?", the voice calls from the other side of the room. OOC: If Golem has worked it out, he'd know I didn't walk in... And it would be a lurker for now, trouble from these things comes after they've mocked everyone else.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 04:20 PM	((LOL to Lord Gareth)) Looking towards the rasping nose Cali shudders as if a winters breaze just chilled her bones.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:20 PM	Jaden quickly steps in between the newcomer and the shape-shifter. "No bloodshed unless it's on the Arena floor! I will hurt you both if you make me."
Golem011 09-17-06, 04:21 PM	"Pfah!" The shapechanger snorts and turns back away from the source of the sound.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 04:22 PM	"High-traffic area this is," he mutters as he moves well away from the door to avoid being stepped on by more newcomers. "So about how many fights do you average per day, here?"
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 04:24 PM	((Lord Gareth how long do you think it has been since Zane went off to bed?))
Khael 09-17-06, 04:24 PM	"I see. And how does a human rank as god-like?", the voice calls as it's owner steps forth from the original spot it's cry came from. It is a figure swathed in black robe, and under it's cowl black shiny stuff can be seen with visible red eyes.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:26 PM	((About ten minutes. I'll tell ya when he's up and ready to go)) "Depends on the amount of people who show up. If this rate continues, I'd expect quite a few. We've had three so far, a pair of giants, a suarian versus our Chaos Mage, and a psionicist versus one of our bards. A Mass Melee is about to commence, very soon. If you'd like to get into that, it counts as a free victory for all participants. We have people who can raise the undead in case you die, even."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:28 PM	Jaden looks over at the newcomer. "I killed a goddess of battle in single combat. That's how. You here to sign up or are you here to pester me for deicide?"
Golem011 09-17-06, 04:28 PM	The Shapechanger turns again to watch the newcomer warily. "Are you going to stay civil this time?"
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 04:31 PM	"Sure, sounds fine for me. It's been awhile since I've had the chance to put my talents to the test. Those two know each other, huh?" He inquires, pointing to the shapechanger and the other cloaked figure as he turns himself over and starts doing one-handed handstand pushups to limber up, as if it were as simple as walking.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:33 PM	((Anyone know what it takes to get a thread stickied? Krede's definitely deserves it at this point, and if I keep aquiring posts at this rate, we might want this one too.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 04:35 PM	Cali walks over to Jadens leg and pullson her shirt. "Can I stay here tonight?" she asks. "I have nowhere to go now that i was kicked out of school. I woudljust go home but I'm an orphan and I'd pay you but I don't currently have any money. Maybe I could work for you." ((Writing that just sounds lame. Gosh I should come up with something more than "orphan". So over used))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 04:37 PM	"Don't worry about that, kid, old Bad Lung will cover your entry. Do you some good to be exposed to this stuff anyway, no innocence lasts forever. Pay close attention to the fights, now." Bad Lung kips to his feet, digs out a handful of golden coins, and tosses them into the jar, patting Cali on the head with one withered hand. "What's your name, anyway?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:37 PM	Jaden looks down and produces yet another arena map from her pocket. "Follow this hallway until you find a door with a dead mouse hanging from the knob. That's Endeca's room. She's our resident finger-waggler, she'll train you up and take care of you. She's a nice lass."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 04:44 PM	"Thank you, both of you," she says. To Bad Lung, "Cali." To Jaden, "Should I go there now?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:47 PM	"Yes. Now is about the time she takes her meals, and you want to get at it before they accidentally become sentient or grow tentacles or something."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 04:49 PM	"OK." she goes off to find Endeca.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:50 PM	((Whenever you are ready, just announce that you've knocked on the door or something and you can talk with the crazy magic chick:) ))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 04:50 PM	He rubs his chin, revealing his gaunt grey-brown face and emberlike eyes in sunken sockets as the hood is disturbed. "Cali, that's a good name." He perks at Jaden's words, and looks up at the big woman. "Sentient? Tentacles? This Edeca's a meat-eater, then?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:52 PM	"Yes and no. Chefs cook her food, usually some beef or boar with vegetable on the side, but she always tries to improve it with Chaos Magic..and, well, you can imagine what happens. Once it even became an avatar of a greater deity right before she ate it. That wasn't pleasant."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 04:54 PM	((Ok))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 04:55 PM	He nods quickly, furrowing his wrinkled brow in solemn thought. "That does sound pretty nasty. Some pig or cow, though, that'd be good. Which way to the kitchen, anyway? I'm not too picky, whatever the chefs don't use is probably more than fine."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 04:55 PM	Coming up to the door Cali knocked on it.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:56 PM	"Ugh, ghouls." Jaden produces yet another map (( Is there no end to them?)) and hands it to Bad Lung. "This map is completely foolproof. Which means you can use it unless you are a complete fool."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 04:58 PM	Coming up to the door Cali knocked on it. Inside the door to Endeca's room, a loud roar can be heard, and a strained, "COME IN." over the violence. As you open the door, you can see her struggling with what looks like a chicken wing with five-foot tentacles. She is attempting to beat it with a stick, while it is attempting to eat said stick.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 04:59 PM	"I'd resent that remark if you sword wasn't three times as big as me, and I hadn't had over a century to learn patience and humility. Thanks for the map." Bad Lung winks, smirks, and follows the map off to the food preparation area.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 05:04 PM	Grabing the only weapon she has, a dagger, Cali aproched the Abberation with cation. "Are you ok?" she shouts towards Endeca.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:06 PM	Endeca whacks the creature heartily with the stick, only to have it yanked out of her hand and devoured. "Maybe!" she shouts above the chicken wing's roaring. Endeca pulls her raipier and begins slashing at tentacles.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 05:08 PM	"Can't you use some of your magic to return it to normal?" Cali asks of Endeca.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:09 PM	"It might make it worse!" Endeca shouts before spearing the thing in the white meat. It shudders and dies. "Wow, that was interesting. Who are you, miss?"
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 05:13 PM	"I'm Cali. Jaden sent me to stop you from using magic to enhance your food. However it looks like I was too late. She also wants you to put me to work and maybe train me for your own profession. That is the arena." She says
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:15 PM	Endeca looks you over, then pulls out a tape measure (old fashioned kind) from her collection of junk that hangs off her. She begins doing the oddest measurements of Cali, including between her nostrils and the average length of her bangs.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 05:19 PM	"Why did you measure my noise?" Cali asks.
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 05:19 PM	With a loud "POP," a young human man appears 20 feet above Jaden's desk, and with a crash he hits the ground. He's wearing a suit of golden chainmail and has a scythe 7 feet tall strapped to his back. "Is this where I can fight Cowardice?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:25 PM	Jaden jumps as the boy comes crashing down. "FIRES OF THE NINE HELLS!" She looks over and listens as Valor speaks. "Kid, I have no idea who Cowardice is, but if you had teleported a foot or two up, you'd be in a wall right now. As to fighting, you came to the right place." ((Make sure to read first post))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:26 PM	"Why did you measure my noise?" Cali asks. Endeca continues her strange measurements (ear diamater) and just says, "Shh...I'm working."
Khael 09-17-06, 05:27 PM	"A goddess of battle hmmm? Annoying they are certainly, but hardly the most complicated of people. And when have 'I' ever been uncivil, may I ask? Is it my fault if people tend to be uncivil around me?", a flash of white behind the cowl. As to my purpose here, I admit my interest is piqued by the idea of a battle royale, but at this point in time, I am here merely to watch others, after all I've heard things of the lord of this hall, things which, also piqued my interest ." OOC: You asked for background so I shall lay out some of this one's. He is a Khaelspawn (titled after their not-so-modest creator-god) and so serves his creator. Which means he's a master of firey magics, favouring hellfire, and is technically a demon. He also, like the rest of his kind, has a tendency to 'wink' in and out, which is how he did the voice-throwing act without anyone seeing him enter. Under his cloak lies a red eyed, black scaled face and fullplate. And Golem knows all about these things because they've been so involved in the early parts of Krede's cafe, and do in fact run the place. As tio stickying this, they don't seem to, probably becasue these don't exactly add anything to the board, and aren't really important. Also if you have enough traffic to justify stickying, it pretty much defeats the point of stickying it.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 05:29 PM	Bad Lung slinks back out to the reception room after sneaking some scraps from the kitchen. "I've no idea who Cowardice is either, but if that's one of those zealot paladins, he'll probably want to fight me." He eyes the scythe warily, inching behind the desk in case the big armored guy gets any strange ideas about charging indoors.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:31 PM	Jaden glances over at Bad Lung. "I'm one of those zealot paladins. The only reason you aren't dead where you stand is arena courtesy."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 05:32 PM	"I'm one of those zealot paladins. The only reason you aren't dead where you stand is arena courtesy." ((Isn't he allready dead?))
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 05:32 PM	OOC: Boy that was dumb mistake on my part. Looking carefully at Jaden, Valor asks sheepishly, "Have you seen a really cold guy in here somewhere? He said I should fight a certain person in here." "Then again, i don't think he's here yet. Where is that stupid, otyugh #%^# Cowardice? " Turning a deep shade of red, Valor quickly begins to stammer, "I, I, I'm very sorry miss, i forgot there was a lady present"
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 05:33 PM	He grins nervously and spreads his hands, backing away. "Nonono, emphasis on zealot. You know, swing sword first, think never? Sane paladins are fine, and you seem to be one."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:36 PM	Gareth's dragon can be seen flying into the Arena floor. Gareth and his wife get off, and the dragon leaves. They begin walking towards the registration desk, Bris still scolding Gareth mightily. Inside the registration area, Jaden chuckles at Valor's cursing. "Kid, no worries. I can curse worse than a drunken dwarf/orc hybrid. If you wanna fight, you need to sign this waiver and pay a ten gold entry fee. If you want a specific opponent, he has to show up first."
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 05:37 PM	Again turning red but this time in anger, Valor turns sharply and says, "Cowardice, a paladin!?!" He spits in disgust, "He isn't worthy to look at a dretch much less be a paladin!! what kind of fool are you!?!?"" Now completly out of breath Valor just looks at the others with a angry glare.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:39 PM	Jaden puts her gauntleted hand on Valor's head. "Kid, relax, or eternal vigilance is gonna make you burst a blood vessel. Tell a joke or two between righteous indignation. Worked for me."
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 05:39 PM	"Hey look, a dragon!" Bad Lung points at the convenient distraction in hopes of turning the babbling lunatic's attention away from himself.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 05:40 PM	Cali wait patiently for Endeca to finish her mesurements, wondering what the size of her ear and her noise has to do with any thing.
Khael 09-17-06, 05:41 PM	"Hey look, the undead...heh heh heh..." OOC: Yes, I can guess the obvious response to this.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:41 PM	Cali wait patiently for Endeca to finish her mesurements, wondering what the size of her ear and her noise has to do with any thing. Endeca finally puts her measuring tape away after noting the width of Cali's fingers. "Odd. According to my evidence, you're a spontaneous caster who learned in a school. This seems so completely contradictory.."
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 05:44 PM	Bad Lung snorts at the undead remark, placing his clawed hands firmly on his hips and standing up for himself. "I prefer to think of myself as living alternatively, thank you very much. And since when am I more startling than a dragon?"
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 05:45 PM	"Well when I blew up the Orphanage they sent me to learn to control my powers which I can do for the most part." Something breaks in the room. "Mostly but they couldn't teach me a thing about how to controll my magic. So they just made me an errand girl for their "master" who was just a stuck up evil little man." She says in an angery vioce. The chicken wing blowes up.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:48 PM	Endeca: "Hey now, calm down, calm down! The stuff in here has great sentimental value to me!" Looking around Endeca's room, you can see she is a packrat. She has likely kept anything she has ever owned in this room.
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 05:50 PM	As Valor's face turns red once again, he looks at jaden and stammers, "Y, Y, You were a paladin too?" Turning his head to look at the ghoul, Valor can be seen struggling with himself, he can be heard muttering "What would teacher do?" over and over.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 05:52 PM	Bad Lung grins in a neighborly manner, showing off a few very sharp, stained teeth. "I'm guessing, Teacher would fill out the form and pay the fee if he was planning to enter the contests." He sticks out a longnailed hand as if to shake. "Name's Bad Lung, who are you?"
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 05:54 PM	"I'm sorry. I could go get you a new chicken? Maybe I can use my magic to fix what I broke. Wait, wait, I've got it," Cali says. Pulling out a wand she mends the object she broke.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:55 PM	Jaden: "Kid, you need to learn independance sometime." Jaden turns to yell throuought the complex, the sound reverberating painfully no matter how far away you are when you hear it. "ARENA GUESTS, SOUND OFF! I WANNA KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU WE HAVE!"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 05:56 PM	"I'm sorry. I could go get you a new chicken? Maybe I can use my magic to fix what I broke. Wait, wait, I've got it," Cali says. Pulling out a wand she mends the object she broke. Endeca: "No worries kid." Jaden's yell painfully enters the room. ((Zane is up and in fighting order))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 05:57 PM	He shivers, and waits for the echoing to die down. "Wow... glad I lost most of my senses of touch and pain long ago, or that would've been unpleasant. Bad Lung here, and since it turns out you've got a kitchen and serve meat, I'm okay with regular matches too, not just deathmatches." He pauses, and adds after a moment, "Good luck finding someone that can fight me to a knockout, though." Bad Lung smirks.
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 05:58 PM	"Fee? Oh of course, turning to Jaden Valor fishes around in his chainmail until he comes up with two battered platinum pieces and hands them to her. Turning once again to Bad lung while still chanting his mantra, Valor says "I'd prefer not to shake hands, if you don't mind." I have to wait until "HE" shows up in here to sign up though.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 05:58 PM	Zane jumps up from his bed, and yells, "Huh, what, yeah I'am here." He puts on his cloak and heads towards the Sign up room to find out what is going on. Cali jumps up breaking the item she just fixed. Asking Endeca, "What do I do?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:00 PM	Endeca winces a bit. "That woman has lungs on her. Don't do anything Cali, you aren't a fighting guest. Heck, you're probably a resident as of now. If you like, I can take you on as my apprentice."
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:00 PM	He nods to Valor, and drops his hand. "We don't freeze up your muscles unless we actually hurt you, touching won't do it, but I understand."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:02 PM	((But, seriously, I need to know who's here and who isn't. I'm gonna start the Mass Battle soon))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:03 PM	((I'm here, should be able to manage another 2 hours, maybe more depending on the coffee supply.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:04 PM	((Doesn't seem like golem is showing up soon)) Jaden belts out another one of her ear-splitting yells "MASS MELEE STARTING NOW! ALL INTERESTED FIGHTERS, TO THE ARENA FLOOR!"
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 06:04 PM	Looking embarrased, Valor says to bad lung rather quickly, "In that case, I'll gladly shake your hand, it's just after the run in I had with a succubus four days ago I kinda avoid touching things that look dangerous." Blushing at the memory, Valor holds his hand out to bad lung.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:05 PM	"That would be fun," Cali says. "Are you sure it is allright? Oh no i broke your *insert objects name here* agian. Let me fix it again." Zane walks up to Jaden and says "Hi, I am here." Noticing the other two he walks over to Valor and says, "Hello I am Zane master of the Psionic arts, and you are?"
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:06 PM	"Looks like introductions will have to wait time for a fight. See you on the feild," Zane says and he jumps out the window and floats down again.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:09 PM	Bad Lung nods to Zane, briefly brushes hands with Valor, and mutters "What he said," as he leaps out the window, spinning and twisting on the way down, and slams into the sand in a three-point stance. He straightens up, brushes off his dusty knuckles, and looks around.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:09 PM	Jaden looks down at Valor. "You may want to give this a whirl kid, it'll be good practice, and I don't think your opponent will be showing up soon with a name like Cowardice."
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 06:09 PM	Puffing his chest up proudly, Valor responds, "I, am Valor Killraven, paladin, apprentice aestetic, and student of [and yes you can hear the capitalizations] The Great Bladedancer, Hengeyokai Lord, Shiro Kitsune Of The Kakita Clan. Who are you?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:11 PM	Jaden chuckles. "Jaden Vlarion, formerly Jaden Blackblade, formerly Jaden Ghoulslayer, formerly Jaden Kril, paladin of the Lawfather."
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:13 PM	"FORMERLY!" Bad Lung calls out as a reminder when Jaden mentions the ghoul-slaying.
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 06:13 PM	Seeing no sign of his foe, Valor teleports into the arena. 15 feet above it more precisely and again falls to the ground with a crash. Dusting himself off, Valor says [while rubbing his posterior" "Ow, not again, so who am I fighting?"
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:15 PM	"Good question, I don't see anyone here but those of us that were called, so far." He looks around again, more carefully this time, scanning for enemies and for cover points and shadows he can use in the coming brawl. ((Rogue, as one might expect of a goblin.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:15 PM	"Not certain how this works but I think all of us," says Zane.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:18 PM	Cali uses another charge on her wand to fix the *insert objects name here* again. She puts it on the table. "So what are am I saposes to do first," she asks Endeca.
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 06:19 PM	"So, how do we start?"
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:19 PM	Bad Lung holds up a hand, and shakes his head. "No... she said there was a magical doohickey in here that would tell us the conditions and rules of the fight and so forth. Until that thing speaks up, I think we wait."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:20 PM	"We wait untill we are told to start and untill all contenstants agree opon the rules of the match," Zane says.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:21 PM	Cali uses another charge on her wand to fix the *insert objects name here* again. She puts it on the table. "So what are am I saposes to do first," she asks Endeca. Endeca listens outside. "We have a fight brewing. Let's watch the show first." Jaden screams out over into the Arena Floor. "CUTTHROAT! BEGIN!" A gong rings and a magic mouth announces the free-for-all deathmatch begun. the crowd roars wildly.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:23 PM	Bad Lung doesn't hesitate. He puts his innate goblinoid speed and unholy reflexes to work immediately, dropping his jaws out of his mouth like a shark as he lashes out at Valor with a vicious paralytic bite. He aims his bite at Valor's delicate throat, as his previous years of rogue training have taught him.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:24 PM	Cali "Ok," she says. "That might be fun." Zane Taking to the air on his wings ((for those who don't know he is a half-celestial)) an eiree glow starts to eminate from his body. And a blast of crystals fly towards Bad Lung.
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 06:25 PM	OOC lost intiative eh? With a self-confident smirk, Valor doesn't even try to dodge the bite, he simply says "You may want to avoid biting me my friend, in my blood flows the rare substance called Liquid Mortality, a smart one such as your self can surely recognize the name." Valor swings his scythe in a blazing arc at bad lung. OOC Positoxins are fun!
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:25 PM	((WoW pally huh? Niiiiice))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:29 PM	Bad Lung shrieks at the dual assault of holy power. "It burns! It burns us! It freezes! Take it off us!" He handsprings away from the shield and spray, and throws his cloak to the ground to reveal... very minimal damage if any. "Just kidding." He winks and takes up a defensive stance, switching his glance quickly between the ground-bound opponent and the aerial one. ((Bad Lung has got serious turn resistance, and some positive energy resistance. <3 libris mortis))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:31 PM	With a raging battlecry, Brisinaria leaps onto the field, jagged scimitars in hand. She does a cat-style pounce at Bad Lung, attempting to slam into him with her full weight.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:34 PM	"Holy crap, who the hell is that?!" Bad Lung dodges out of the way matador-style, and turns briefly to Valor. "Tell you what, we deal with this and the other guy together, then we worry about killing each other, forgive and forget after the resurrection. What do you say?" He stands waiting expectantly, and without the cloak it can be seen what little scorching he had from the blasts before is slowly fading away into "healthy" undead flesh...
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:34 PM	((Cristal shards not positive engergy I am a Psion here but hey what ever)) Zane seeing his attacks frutilism, he shots out a mental bragh against Valor. The air around Valor ripples with the strength of the attack.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:35 PM	((Sorry, I'm not terribly familiar with psionics, figured that was the result of some celestial-related feat. If it's any consolation my AC and Ref saves are both pretty good and I've got Evasion. ;) ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 06:36 PM	With a strangely composed face, Valor looks at the ghoul and then looks at his weapon, with the celetial word for "Life" the scythe begins to crackle with a brilliant white light. [positive energy] "So, you are resistant to the might of goodness eh? so be it!" Being no fool Valor keeps an eye on bad lung and begins backing up towards the wall, and keeps a defensive stance as well.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:37 PM	Brisinaria tumbles to her feet and turns around, whipping a lit stick of dynamite at Bad Lung. Jaden shouts over the balcony "I FORGOT TO MENTION, BRIS GETS INTO EVERY MELEE." The dynamite explodes roughly half-a-second after reaching Bad Lung
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:41 PM	"Gah!" Bad Lung scrambles out of the way with unnatural speed and agility, and decides it's time to go back on the offensive. "Alright lady, you BLEED!" Bad Lung darts in at the crazed Brisinaria, feints a hamstringing claw swipe at her ankle, but instead comes in high with a dextrous stab at her throat with his other set of claws.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:42 PM	Landing inbetween his enimies Zane shots out a wave of fire ((40ft radiuos center on me)) buffering all within range
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 06:43 PM	As the mental waves of force start hammering upon poor Valor's brain, he uses his connection to the forces of good [aura of grace] to overcome it. A small amount of the flameblast dissapears as it hits him, but he simply toughs it out. Taking a short sword from his side, he holds it for a moment then lets go, saying simply "Dance" it begins to fly at the psionicist. Looking carefully at the women, Valor begins a chant to Lastai
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:45 PM	Seeing the oncoming attack he pulls up an screen of force around him, blocking the Swords atack for now at least.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:49 PM	Bris dances to the side, fire rippling off her armor and goggles, leaving her unharmed (fire resist gear, only magic she owns). She weaves and slashes at both Bad Lung and Zane with her twin blades, never giving either a moment's rest unless they break away.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:49 PM	He uses the woman as a shield against the worst of the fire, emerging unscathed. "Free tip - DON'T try to blast me, I'm faster than any explosion you can come up with!" Bad Lung presses the attack hard on Brisinaria, clawing at her kidneys on both sides and lurching his neck out to sink his teeth into her shoulder, knowing sooner or later she must succumb to the immobilizing numbness of his jaws and claws as nearly all have before. He takes full advantage of the moment of weakness as Bris dances between himself and Zane, sneaking his attacks into vital organs, connective tissue, and arteries.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 06:49 PM	((AFK a bit, dinner))
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 06:50 PM	The chant completed, a rush of energy fills valor's body, erasing all the singes on him. With a measured charge, Valor runs towards brisnaria and takes a swing at her, his scythe coming in close to her knees.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:51 PM	Protected by his protective screen Zane shots off another burst of energy this time sonic tring to break his enimies weapons while damaging the enimies themselves.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:54 PM	He glances down at his exposed intestines as he rips his claws loose from Brisinaria, and winces. "Well hell, give and receive." Bad Lung shudders as bones crack under the sonic onslaught, and slinks away, ducking and weaving away from the blade before breaking into a run.
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 06:56 PM	OOC You guys are fast! With a puzzled look towards zane, Valor wonders why his scythe is vibrating so violenty. after kissing a small purple ring on his finger, he turns towards Zane, making sure his back isn't exposed to the ghoul, and fishes a small stick out of a cloth bag and touches it to walls protecting him, they dissapear and the stick crumbles into ashes. Sighing, Valor charges straight at zane whirling his scythe to shoot the butt at his stomach and a slash at his torso.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 06:58 PM	Bad Lung keeps his distance while Valor has the situation under control, and holds himself in a defensive ready position, his bones crackling as they slowly knit back together, organs pulling themselves back into position with a wet slurping noise.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 06:59 PM	Relizing the trouble he is in, Zane teleports out of the reach of any of the other contestants and then attacks Bad lung with a Mental crush ((Will save)).
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 07:01 PM	Bad Lung doesn't seem to notice the mental assault, and continues patiently watching after his own defenses while his body makes unholy repairs on itself. ((Mind-affecting against undead? Bad psion, no doughnut.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 07:06 PM	Screaming in frustration Zane unsleashes a series of cones of energy at Bad Lung creating a swirling vortex of engery dealing all five types of energy, Fire, Cold, Acid, Sonic, and electricy. ((When Bad lung is killed if he is and your resurected you will be alive again. Is that a bad thing for you))
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 07:09 PM	Shaking his head and cursing, Valor realizes that simply charging isn't going to work and pulls a small golden sphere out from his chainmail and hurls it towards zane, it lands about five feet from him doing no real damage, and in fact doing nothing at all. "May that halfling be condemned to asmodeus's bowels!" Taking this chance to pull a weapon, Valor holds his scythe in one hand and pulls a small dagger out of a hidden boot strap, chargin it with holy power [ALA smite evil} he hurls it towards bad lung.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 07:10 PM	((That'd be pretty bad. Fortunately it was already mentioned they have the undead-viable version.)) Bad Lung ducks, leaps, dodges, rolls, and otherwise strains to avoid all the incoming blasts. He escapes most of them, but is left with a thick rime of ice over his body. He realizes this split attention thing isn't working too well, and, ice shattering and cutting as he starts to move again, he charges at Brisinaria's opposite flank from Valor, stealing a page from the zombie playbook and biting into the back of her skull. He grunts as he takes the dagger in his chest as he runs, looking in pretty bad shape, but still mobile which is more than could be said for most people in this condition.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 07:16 PM	Even more frustrated at his contiual falure Zane unlieashes his most powerfull power Creating a Blinding ball of energy that surges towards the rest of the contestants getting bigger as it goes until it engulfed the entire arena battle ground. Zane falls to the ground unconsuos. The ball rips apart the very earth that makes up the floor of the arena ((deals allot of damage)). The blinding furry of all five elemtents come crushing down on the other contestents.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 07:17 PM	((By the Way that is not posible in real game play but I think it is really cool and so hey what the heck just don't want more people thinking that psions are bad or broken))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 07:20 PM	Bad Lung attempts to repeat his previous shows of evasion, but apparently fails. He scrambles for cover, then sags, and collapses facedown in the maelstrom, laying still. Very near his destruction, he puts his rogueish skill at deception to work, playing dead to buy time to heal if any others survived. He's quite good at it, both from years of practice with feints, bluffs and ruses, and because of course he actually is dead.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 07:22 PM	((Eh, flavor's cool, and it's just poor luck of the draw anyway. Psions already struggle vs undead, and vs undead rogues with fast healing I sure wouldn't envy your position.))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 07:26 PM	((Love the latest Order of the Stick))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 07:37 PM	((hhmm. where is everyone))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 07:40 PM	((Good question.)) Bad Lung holds his breath, not that he needs to breathe anyway. Holding himself perfectly still, he listens for signs of movement from the other competitors, not daring to lift his head for a look and blow the ruse that his body has failed, until he feels ready to fight again.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 07:44 PM	((Prety sure it is safe to assume that Bris is down and out and i know that Zane is out cold so that just leaves Valor))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 07:44 PM	Brisinaria staggers to her feet, broken, bruised, bloody, slashed, and seared with all five elements. "That...all...you got?"
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 07:46 PM	((Ok so I was wrong. But yes that is))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 07:47 PM	He redoubles his resolve to put on the best show of playing dead ever, hearing that someone else still lives. He only needs a minute and a half to recover completely, but a strike now could be lethal. The dead remnants of his nerves screaming at him to move, to evade or strike out, Bad Lung steels himself, and waits.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 07:47 PM	Even as you watch, her gear is absorbed into her body, and her skin sloughs off, revealing a seven-foot man/wolf hybrid. Bris stalks towards where Zane is.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 07:48 PM	((Isn't that woman/wolf hybrid?))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 07:48 PM	((Werewolf regeneration, ain't it just nifty?:D ))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 07:49 PM	Bris reaches Zane's body and slashes his throat out with her foot. Satisfied that he's dead ((no worries, high level clerics available), she moves towards Bad Lung.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 07:50 PM	((fine just so long as there is no scars))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 07:52 PM	Listening to the footsteps receding, the wet rending squelch, and the footsteps approaching again, Bad Lung realizes he has no more time -- he'll have to fight at half strength. No matter... he's just slightly faster than any werewolf, and despite being a goblin he's stronger than most humans. Reluctantly, he rolls up to his feet, turns to face Brisinaria, and crouches to spring... "You're smarter than the "heroes" that took my worldly belongings, I'll grant you that," he wheezes.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 07:52 PM	((Throat cut open with the claws onher hind foot. It'll take about 30 seconds for you to die completely.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 07:57 PM	Bris lets out a feral roar and lunges to the attack, claws swiping high and low while her vicious bite goes for Bad Lung's shoulder.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:00 PM	((Valor went offline, it would seem))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:01 PM	Bad Lung steps deftly inside the beast's reach, though not as smoothly as he'd have liked, wincing as her teeth graze his shoulder and rake bone. Locked up close and personal with her, he siezes his last opportunity, hammering both sets of claws into her stomach, and latching his own teeth into the side of her neck, silently praying to whichever gods listen to the dead that his paralyzing attacks finally take hold and give him the upper hand.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:02 PM	Bris, stiffening slowly (werewolf again), rams her inch-and-a-half claws into Bad Lung's sides and wrenches her teeth into his shoulder, clamping down hard before paralysis sets in completely.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:03 PM	((Now you have a werewolf stuck yo you :P ))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:09 PM	Bad Lung beams through his fur-encrusted and blood-soaked lips... he's on the brink but he knows he's won now. He takes swift advantage, rending and tearing vitals despite the embrace, reveling in the easy targets the immobile are, even with the entanglement. He angles his claws up and draws them out to sever Brisinaria's diaphragm and render breathing impossible, rips and tears his teeth through carotids and jugulars alike, stabbing and cutting and crushing everything his experience has taught him is vital to life, in the window of perfect target time he has. In between the carnage of sneak attacks, he idly muses, "Now how the hell am I going to get the corpse off me?" ((Essentially I'm coup de gracing with sneak every round of the paralysis, and possibly prolonging it as every hit threatens it again as they're all natural weapon hits.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:12 PM	Jaden leaps down off the balcony, hitting the ground with a loud THUD. "Let her go, you've won." Jaden drags Valor and Zane off the field into the nearby hospital wing, beckoning you to follow.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:13 PM	Bad Lung ceases his furious assault, and begins the furious struggle to get loose. "I'm trying!" he protests. "Her claws are hooked between my ribs and the flesh is sealing over them!" He tugs ineffectually for awhile.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:14 PM	Jaden just shouts out from the hospital wing. "Then take the whole package. We'll get her off you."
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:16 PM	"...yeah, okay!" He grabs two fistfuls of the downed werewolf's fur, grits his teeth, and strains to drag her along, slowed to a crawl but making something like progress, towing her to the infirmary. "She's really good. I'm very impressed."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 08:16 PM	((sorry about that but my computer froze I am back))
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 08:16 PM	OOC: CPU crashed! "Wait! I'm perfectly awake and alive! let go of me! that rediculous psion must've messed with my brain or something! who's left?
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:18 PM	((WB you two.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:18 PM	"I should hope so. She's a trained assasin. Too bad she couldn't hit her stride, some scary things happen then."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:19 PM	((Let's just call this one a tie. Lung won't be able to fight with 300 pounds of wolf latched onto him))
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 08:21 PM	((Not me. I am dead))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:21 PM	((Let's just call this one a tie. Lung won't be able to fight with 300 pounds of wolf latched onto him)) ((Aye, that's within his drag limit but well over his maximum carry load.)) "I've noticed that since I started living this way, a lot of tactics that would've slain tougher goblins than me outright are usesless against me. It seems to drive enemies pretty crazy."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:22 PM	Jaden uncerimoniously drops Valor and Zane. She walks out and hefts the werewolf/ghoul combo with one hand into the Ressurection Chamber.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:24 PM	((Times like this I'm glad resurrection only works on the willing.)) "Hey Valor, this is yours. I'd have returned it sooner but it kind of lodged in my heart and I didn't really have time to get rid of it." Bad Lung smirks, yanks the dagger loose, and tosses it on the floor at Valor's feet as he's dragged along.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 08:24 PM	((What am i Bagage)) Cali asks Endeca, "Are they dead? Forever?"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:25 PM	Endeca glances over to her new student. "Naah. We got clerics of Tempus, god of warriors, to ressurect all combatants. They'll be up and kicking in no time, better than ever."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:27 PM	A group of clerics walk onto the floor of teh ressurection chamber. One of them almost idly taps Zane with a Rod of True Ressurection, jolting him back to life and full hit points.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 08:28 PM	"Oh so they were dead. Why did they kill them selves," she asks. "Seems like a waste of life to just toss it away like that."
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 08:28 PM	OOC Thanks for the wb. With a loud "thud" Valor hits the ground again and complains "This is the third time today, I think that rediculous laughing rogue has something out for me!" Getting up from the undignified heap he fell in, Valor turns towards Bad lung and says, "After I rest and you get the fuzzy thing off of you, perhaps we'll meet in a singles match?" Muttering to himself, Valor says "Teachers gonna kill me!" Rubbing his well bruised posterior, Valor starts walking towards the infirmary...... and says to the ghoul "No, you can keep it"
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:29 PM	The crowd continues roaring and applauding. Endeca turns to her student. "Well, some people enjoy the thrill of combat so much that they are willing to do things like this. Besides, here, you can come back. If you go out adventuring, you may never return to life. It's much safer to die here than anywhere else."
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 08:30 PM	((YEAH I AM ALIVE MUHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry couldn't resiest the evil laugh)) "So did I get any of you?" asks Zane after the whole waken from the dead deal.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:30 PM	"Maybe so, though I'd prefer... more interesting terrain for the next one." He wipes the mess off his mouth from the fight, and grins widely. He responds to Zane after a moment. "You came pretty close to taking me out, and you did knock Valor out, though you didn't manage to kill him. Where the hell did you learn to do... whatever that was?" He seems suitably impressed.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 08:31 PM	"Is it ever safe to die?" asks Cali of her new fond mentor.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:31 PM	Jaden looks over at him. "Yourself."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:32 PM	"Is it ever safe to die?" asks Cali of her new fond mentor. "Not really, but here it's safe-er. Plus, they can always bring you back if you are willing, and if you aren't that means you hit the jackpot in the afterlife."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:36 PM	A cleric taps Brisinaria, who shudders and shifts back into her fully-clothed human form. The claws slide out of Bad Lung and she slumps to the ground, alive but out cold from exhaustion.
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 08:37 PM	Turning around to talk with the now fur covered ghoul, Valor asks "what kind of terrain did you have in mind? As long as i can try again, then i won't have to be punished by teacher yet." Valor shivers at the thought. Of course, i have to wonder why he forced me into a human form but he IS the teacher....
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:39 PM	Jaden pokes her head up. "Funny you should mention that. We have some geomancers and druids capable of creating anything from deserts to forests to a mile-high plateu, if you give them some time.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:39 PM	"Ahhhh, much better," he sighs in relief as he slips free, and the holes where the claws were slowly close. "Think I should tell her she was the best-tasting hairy girl I've ever gone down with when she wakes up, or would she probably break the "You only fight in the arena" rule if I did?" He smirks, looking down at the exhausted figure.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:41 PM	Jaden smirks. "She'd cut a hole in your heart, shove in some dynamite, lop off your hands, and punt you into the eair before you exploded in a shower of gore."
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:41 PM	He rubs his chin and mulls over the other question for a moment, then responds, "Cover, both light and dense, and some open areas. Varying degrees of light, from full sunlight to complete darkness. Water hazards. Narrow ledges, wide gaps and long falls." He adds, "I guess I'll call that Plan B, then."
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 08:44 PM	'Sounds like a situation that is skewed in the favor of someone who doesn't wear armor, and who knows how to stalk.... then again, Teacher has to recognise me if i win! You're on!" After I get a shower of course.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 08:45 PM	Zane Goes fumming off from his discracfull defeat.
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:47 PM	Jaden passes everyone but Lung one-thousand gold pieces. To Lung, she hands a suit of small studded leather, a brooch, and a pair of leather boots. "Your rewards for participation. Lung won, so he gets a bit extra." Hearing your terrain request, she gives another ear-splitting yell, and the arena floor kicks up dust as it shifts shape.
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:51 PM	He accepts the items, and inspects them carefully, before warily trying them on. He seems especially concerned about the armor... his hide may be tough, but most of his defense comes from movement, and this may or may not provide more than it robs him of. After getting into the armor and turning a few cartwheels, somersalts and the like, he nods, satisfied. "Thanks. What do the necklace and the boots do?"
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 08:52 PM	((I will not be posting for a bit be back latter tonight Bye))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:53 PM	((I actually need to crash soon myself. I'm curious about the items, and of course that rematch with Valor has got to happen, but later would be better for me.))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 08:53 PM	(( a brooch is a little pin, usually for holding cloaks on)) "I'm not sure on the brooch, I found a note on it that said 'defense'. The boots are Boots of Striding and Springing. ((So you know what it does later, it is a Brooch of Shielding, which will absorb 240 points of Magic Missile damage before disintegrating))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:56 PM	((Awesome. For sheet update purposes, is the studded leather fully mundane, masterwork, or something else? I realize we're not actually using statistics and dice and so forth, but I like to have the numbers available for reference.))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 08:59 PM	He grins broadly at the pronouncement. "Move faster, jump further, sounds great to me. This'll help a lot when it comes time for...:shifty: things."
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 08:59 PM	OOC: how's my playing the buffon doing? I prefer more serious roles myself, but i try a little silliness every now and then.OOC A loud "POP" is heard as a six foot tall bipedal fox appears on front of Valor. He is wearing a golden two piece Gi and his fur, in addition to looking silky smooth, is a shining white, everywhere except for the tips of his furry ears, and the tip of his tail, which have a blood red color. On his left hip an ornate looking katana is proudly displayed. With a stern look at his apprentice, Shiro says to him, "I heard you fought well. Good job. I also heard that you are going to fight a ghoul, don't forget the thing, OK?" Valor look on in amazement as he hears praise from his prized teacher and all the tiredness leaves his body. "Th, th, thank you teacher! I'll make you proud!!!!!" Shiro hold out his hand and says, "Stop. Didn't you notice? your opponent has a new item, They'll make him much faster than he already is now. Tell me, how can you stop mobility?" Drawing a blank, Valor lowers his head and awaits instruction. "You must make it so that you can only be attacked in one direction, and even then, your scythe is too long for a battle in such close quarters. You know what to use don't you?" "B,B,B, but teacher, I didn't bring it with me today" valor whines. "You are hopeless, here" Shiro pulls a bastard sword out from behind him, and hands it to Valor, "If you use this correctly, you may have a good chance of winning." With eyes almost filled with tears, Valor accepts the new sword, bodly emblazoned with the solar disk of Pelor. OOC: This'll be my last post tonight.OOC
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 09:01 PM	Bad Lung raises a hairless brow ridge, and murmurs under his breath, "Note to self: brace for 'thing'."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 09:08 PM	((Awesome. For sheet update purposes, is the studded leather fully mundane, masterwork, or something else? I realize we're not actually using statistics and dice and so forth, but I like to have the numbers available for reference.)) ((+2 studded leather))
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 09:12 PM	Jaden glances over at Shiro. "Cut the kid some slack. Nobody can be perfect, and you're giving him an inferiority complex. Geez, even my master wasn't as though on me as this, and I turned out pretty good. Slaying a lesser deity is no mean feat."
Lord_Gareth 09-17-06, 09:13 PM	((Alright, let's shut down the Arena 'till tomorrow then. To the Cafe!))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-17-06, 09:14 PM	((Last post for me this evening, too. It's been fun so far.))
Foxhengeyokai 09-17-06, 09:24 PM	Shiro pops out of the arena.
Oblivionsfate 09-17-06, 10:57 PM	((I won't be on till about 3-5 pm so try not to pass me up on too many fights please. Talk to you all tomarrow))
SpellSticher 09-18-06, 12:24 AM	A large, insectile creature walks into the arena. It`s body is covered with scales, and a long, wickedly barbed tail waves about behind it. Two bastard swords hand lossely from a belt of giant`s strength, and it has a longspear in it`s hands. It`s head is topped with two antennae, and it`s eyes glow silver. Several barbed tentacles waver about on it`s back. It drops a platinum piece on the table, fills out the form and walks away. The form says that the creature`s name is Likoras, and his power is ranked as god-like.
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-18-06, 04:37 AM	((Another character for me:D , this time my own character in one of my current D&D adventures.)) Another newcomer enters. A young man, about 21 years of age, with rugged brown hair and a beard, clearly hardened by a life of adventuring. He stands about 6'2" tall and is wearing a full adventurer's outfit, as well as fullplate with spiked shoulderpieces, a large shield on his left upper arm, and a bow and quiver and a greatsword across his back. A pair of daggers dangle from his belt, which is adorned with the head of a mighty bear. "Is this where one can sign up for the arena?" he asks in a gruff voice.
Golem011 09-18-06, 11:07 AM	Suddenly, a sobbing figure falls wailing out of the air into the arena. (OOC) Thanks, Lord Gareth, for the PM - but some of us do have lives, you know. :P
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 12:23 PM	OOC I won't be able to post for a while, still in class you know? Upon hearing that wailing, Valor does a complete 180, spinning on his heel so fast that he almost loses his balance, With a red face he bigns to yell at cowardice, "YOU! so you've finally come here eh?" Valor turns to Bad lung and says, "I won't be able to fight you yet, i have other, more pressing engagements, you can undersand can't you?" "You are going to pay for what you did to me!" Turning to both Gareth and Jaden, Valor, with his voice trembling with excitement, "H,H, How soon can we start?"
Golem011 09-18-06, 12:32 PM	"I don't want to fight! I don't want to fight!" As Valour turns away, Cowardice draws a knife swiftly from his pocket and flings it at his back...
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 12:51 PM	Turning around at the sound of even more whining, Valor sees the knife coming straight for his heart. Stranegly enough, it bounces off of his chest. "I think this place has wards against that sort of thing, you scumbag. Once MR.Gareth gives the okay then we'll fight. until then, you should go back to acting like the kobold spawn you are!"
Golem011 09-18-06, 12:58 PM	"B*tard! I kill you!"
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 01:04 PM	Looking suprised at the outburst from Cowardice, Valor looks at him with a blank exspression, "All in good time," grinning a bit, Valor asks Cowardice, "Hey, did you know you smell like a dretch that has been passed by a sick otyugh?" Right after those words have been spoken, Shiro "Pops" into the arena, looking from the Smiling Valor, to the furious Cowardice and with a slightly amused voice asks, "So, i trust you two are going to WAIT for official confirmation, correct?" Grabbing Valor by the ear, Shiro pulls him closely to say, "Make me proud all right?"
Golem011 09-18-06, 01:22 PM	Cowardice is looking courageous, of all things! Of course, this will not manifest itself in a straight-out battle, if he can help it... "Not if he carries on as he does."
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 01:28 PM	Rasing one furry eyebrow, Shiro looks intently at Cowardice and asks, "A few words aren't going to hurt anything now are they?" Turning to Valor, Shiro says, "Are you trying that trick? With a smile, Valor responds, "Yes i am! Am I doing well teacher? " "You're doing fine Valor" Shiro responds.
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 03:30 PM	((The Arena is now back open for buisiness! I'm going to lay down some new rules. One; in the event of my absence, you can start fights by making an official challenge, declaring a match type, and walking onto the Arena floor. Just remember to pay the 10 gold fee and I'll reward the victor when they get back)) ((Also, one full night has passed. Those of you not declaring that you leave spent it in a temporary dorm. In Cali's case, she spent it cringing in fear as Endeca attempted to conjure a bed and had to kill a dracolich that came on accident.))
Khael 09-18-06, 03:46 PM	OOC: And for the black-clad demon-thing, he spent his night sniggering at Cali...
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-18-06, 03:49 PM	((Bad Lung's sticking around. He's got a few days before he needs to feed again, and after that last fight it seems a good move to stick around observing other fights and getting an idea what the different competitors are capable of. I should be around later this evening.))
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 04:57 PM	"Well?" Shiro asks, "Aren't you two going to settle this feud of yours now?" "Oh right" Valor exclaims. "I just put the five electrum pieces on the table and declare the match type, right?" Looking over to Cowardice, Valor asks, "I trust a singles match, to the knockout, and with even terrain is to your liking? Or would you prefer kobold tunnels? They would suit your personality so well." Shiro begins to look at Valor intently, then asks, "Did you pick that sarcasm up in limbo? We'll talk later, allright?" Shiro proceeds to "Pop" out of the arena.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 06:42 PM	((What demon thing was starring at Cali? Oh, hi everyone.)) Cali asks Endeca, "Could maybe we just get a bed from the dormitories moved up here?" Zane walks into the Signup room and looks for Jaden or Gareth. (Lord Gareth you here))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 06:44 PM	((Yes, I be here, Jaden is in sign-up room with Bad Lung (afk), Valor (semi-afk), and Bris (out cold). Endeca (and this is after an exhausting 8-hour fight against a Dracolich). "I...can't...lift...them." Endeca pants. "You'll...need...Jaden..."
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 06:48 PM	((Is Cali sharing a room with Endeca or does she have her own?)) "Ok. Is she in the sign up room?" asks Cali. Zane seeing Jaden walks over and asks her, "Where can I get some training?"
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 06:52 PM	((Cali will be staying with Endeca and fighting a losing battle against clutter on a constant basis.)) Endeca: "Yes...she...should...be." Endeca passes out from exhaustion. She begins to snore lightly. Jaden: "I don't think the guild posseses any psionicists, only those who can repel them." Jaden taps her forehead knowingly. "You're just gonna need plain-out experience."
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 06:57 PM	((Afk for an hour or two, will be back))
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 07:04 PM	((Ok)) Zane "Oh well then I guess I will have to go to the town hall or something similar to find out if there are any Psionic guilds in the area. Thank you for your help though. Oh and I will be back later tonight. It can't hurt to just fight against people here." Cali "Ok. Well I will be right back with a bed and Jaden. Ok?" She says. Not waiting for an answer she runs off towards the sign up room.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 08:59 PM	((Lord Gareth are we allowed to include other parts of the city in this forum or do we need to make a different forum for that? Example: City hall or other equivilant that Zane is going to and the Psionic Guild that I want him to visit.))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:00 PM	((I'm back! Weee!))
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:00 PM	((Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:02 PM	((Hmm...I think th is is how we'll do it. Common things, like an Inn (krede's can work for that) get their own thread. Uncommon things (psionics) can go here, or you can just kinda ignore them, since I'll only be doing the Arena myself. If you can find someone else that wants to RP a psionics guild, great, but you could just SAY he went there for training. If in doubt, ask me if something can go in the thread))
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:05 PM	((Ok. I think I will just retell the story of that through him talking to you or someone else. Oh and I just relized I need to describe both my characters a little more. Zane has green eyes and black hair. He also has very pale skin> Cali has Mahagony hair and light blue eyes. Normal skin tone for an elf.))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:07 PM	((Alright. Cali can find Jaden readily, sitting at her desk))
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:07 PM	Zane leaves for a couple of hours. Cali walking into the sign up room comes over to Jaden and asks, "Could you help me carry a bed up to Endeca's room, please? She tried to make me one but things kind of went bad from there."
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:08 PM	((what happened to the shapechanger?))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:08 PM	Jaden chuckles. "THAT was the roaring and blasting then? Very well. Just make sure she doesn't do anything else and I'll deliver one."
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:10 PM	"I will try. But she is kind of hard to convince not to do stuff with her magic," states Cali.
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:19 PM	Jaden calls back to Cali "Just tackle her if you have to. Works for us." You reach Endeca's room to hear her chanting, apparantly attempting to create another bed.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:21 PM	Cali hearing the chants runs in and tackles Endeca.
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 09:21 PM	In a rush of movement, everyone sees a white streak ,which suddenly hops up in the air and bouces of off the wall near the door. After a cloud of dust settles, everyone who's already seen him, can recognize Shiro. With a wave and a smile, he announces "I beat the old man and his dragon!"
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:23 PM	((which old man? I have yet to read Kredes Cafe. 71 pages is allot of posts.))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:23 PM	Gareth wavers in as an icy mist billows into the room. "Barely." Endeca totally gets tackled. Everyone can hear the scraping of Jaden lugging a bed to Endeca's room.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:26 PM	Cali seeing what she just did to her mentor, says, "I'm so sorry but Jaden say I shouldn't let you do magic to try to conjure things and I am to tackle you when you do. By the way are you alright?" Standing up she offers her hand to Endeca.
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:27 PM	Endeca is out cold, as she hit her head on a giagantic warhammer hilt that was poking out of her junk pile. She does, however, look just fine. You get the feeling that things like this may explain her lack of common sense.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:29 PM	Also do to a lack of better judgement, Cali freaks at her mentors still body. Grabing her she tries to pull her to the hospital to get her healed.
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:31 PM	Endeca's head hits (in the following order) 1. A pickled thought eater. 2. A brain in a jar 3. Twenty arrows in a rune-covered quiver. 4. A Standing Stone (think Stonehenge-type rock), magically miniaturized. 5. A lute. 6. The chicken wing with tentacles.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:35 PM	((Just wait till Cali hits the stairs with Endeca. By the way she has a hold of one of her legs.)) Struggling with the weight of her mentor ((Str score of like 6)) Cali finally gets to the door and opens it dragging her mentor allong.
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:38 PM	Loud Scraping can be heard and Jaden comes into view down your hallway, dragging a lard adamantite bedframe with a matress.
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 09:41 PM	Spying Valor, Shiro grins and says "While your bout with Cowardice may wait, You will be treated to watching an exibition match, between myself and Sir Gareth." Turning to Gareth, Shiro asks, "Where shall we start?"
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:41 PM	((Nice timing. By the way why adimatium. Isn't that expensive)) Seeing help Cali drops her mentors leg and runs over to Jaden. Huging her, Cali says with a shaky vioce, "I did what you said but now she won't wake up. Is she allright?" *snifle*
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:43 PM	Jaden kneels down next to Endeca and checks a pulse. "She's fine. She's taken worse to the head." Jaden concentrates, and a glowing radience envelops Endeca. The Chaos Mage bolts awake. "I DIDN'T DO IT, I SWEAR!" ((Adamantite becasue they need to be nigh-unbreakable. Enchanted matress too :) ))
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:45 PM	Cali asks Jaden, "Why is she yelling? Did she do something wrong? Did I?"
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:48 PM	"Naah. She's got a guilty conciense, likely 'cause she swiped treats from the kitchen again." Jaden lugs the bed into Endeca's room, pushing junk to the side. Endeca looks around blearily before giving a "'Night" and staggaring off to bed. She snores loudly. "Looks like she's out for the count. Go to sleep kid, she'll begin really teaching you tomorrow. She CAN do ordered magic, you know."
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:50 PM	((I was under the impression that it was in the morning:confused: ))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 09:53 PM	((Hmm...magic time flux! :plotting:)) ((Well, in any case, your mentor is sleeping off magic exhaustion brought on by casting all her spells. It'll be a bit))
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 09:58 PM	((I think Shiro is waiting your reply))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 10:01 PM	((Sorry Shiro, didn't see you there!)) "Immediately, if you want. I require little prep time. Knockout or yield match?"
kaizer_soatze 09-18-06, 10:01 PM	Ok 1) how does this work is this by rules or sheer roleplaying? 2) are there limits to the characters you post?
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 10:04 PM	OOC for Kaiser Sheer roleplaying, but i'm sure you could add some technical effects as for the character limits thats up to GarethOOC "Neither my friend, simply until we tire of the clash of wills and blades. I'm ready to go as soon as you are."
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 10:05 PM	((This thread works off roleplaying based on D&D. There ARE limits to fighters on this thread; No gods, no Primals (after Shiro's duel, anyway), and generally no one who doesn't have some kind of weakness. If you want to post a Non-combatant, clear it with me first, please. Make sure to give a description of thine character before their first interaction with anyone.)) ((And read first post for some basic Arena Rules and the Important Folks))
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 10:05 PM	((sheer roleplay but no god moding please. 2 Not really just if you post at Kredes Cafe remember where your characters are.))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 10:06 PM	Gareth slides, Ice-man style, to the arena floor, and strides across the barren terrain until he's about 5 feet from where he thinks Shiro will start. He gives a courteous bow. "When you wish to begin, say so."
kaizer_soatze 09-18-06, 10:09 PM	I have to post my character in kredes cafe? and wooohoooo 12pgs in 3 days
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 10:11 PM	((Use these parantases for OOC. And no, you don't. But, if you make a character and roleplay here, and then you want to post in Krede's or another RP thread, then your character either has to RP leaving, or you make a new character for that Thread. You can see examples of this in Krede's and here, especially looking at Gareth and Shiro))
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 10:11 PM	Taking a stance with one hand behind the gaurd of his blade, shiro says "BEGIN" And with a burst of speed that shouldn't be possible, he flips over Gareths back and attacks, his blade springing like lightning from it's sheath straight at the back of Gareth's neck.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 10:12 PM	((No you don't have to. But that Forum is in the same world as this one so you can go back and forth))
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 10:14 PM	Gareth, without speaking or moving, erupts into shards of metallic ice ((He can create and control ANY kind of ice.)) He re-forms five feet to the left, Soulreaver swining in a diagonal arc.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 10:16 PM	Cali walks out into the stands to watch the fight.
Lord_Gareth 09-18-06, 10:17 PM	((AARG! I gotta go to bed! I'll pick up on this tomorrow after school. I'm sorry :weep: ))
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 10:19 PM	((NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn it! Oh well. Maybe I can have some Rp time with Valor or Shiro))
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 10:19 PM	Shiro expertly tracks the movement and with a quick twist Shiro evades Gareths blade and flips backwards out of easy range, With a word, he invokes the magic of his blade and it begins to crackle with a blood orange flame. "Can you take the heat?" Shiro says while assuming a defensive stance.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 10:22 PM	((Is Shiro and Valor going to Pause till tomarow or are we going to say their fight is interrupted, postponed, etc.))
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 10:23 PM	OOC Shiro will wait, but Valor is free, if you can pry him from watching of course! Valor, while standing at rapt attention as his teacher and Gareth battle, turns to see Zane again and waves him over to his side. "Isn't that amazing??" Valor says with his eyes glazed over, "Oh yeah, you want to talk or something?"
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 10:26 PM	((answers my Question)) "Yeah, sure," says Zane. "So when is our next battle? I want to be prepaired for our next encounter. Don't want to come in last again."
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 10:29 PM	OOC I'll post again in a little while, maybe an hour or so. Have fun plotting! Hearing the word "Battle" Valor looks over to zane and says "You want to battle with me? That's fine, how about a knockout battle on flat terrain?" Valor plunks a pair of platinum pieces on the table.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 10:41 PM	(( In about an hour I will have to go to bed but maybe a Fight tomarow besides the Arena is in use. Although we can just ignore that)) "As much as I'd like another chance at a Victory I know at the moment it would be yours. By the way the Psoinic Guild in town sucks. The most "enlightened" person there was at like half my power," he states with a litle anoyence in his vioce. "At least they could have sold me some new items but no they just ran out. How many customers could they posible have? I highly doubt that much. Errr! I've got half a mind to go there and show them some true power. And the worst part was that everyone was all worshipy over the Guild leader. He was not even the most powerful in the guild. Supposedly, he is "dreamy". Well I guess I am just use to guilds that aren't about how popular you are but how powerful you are. So how was your day?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-18-06, 11:34 PM	OOC: Sorry but i may be unable to post tommorow. This'll be my lat one tonight. Valor looks at Zane and says, "My day is perfect! I get to see teacher fight! even if it is an exibition, i haven't seen him fight in a year! Normally, any fights he would be in are over by now though." "You need a guild to help you develop your skills? You should go find yourself a teacher like mine!" After he says this, he goes back to watching the two men fighting, he has a starry look in his eyes.
Oblivionsfate 09-18-06, 11:37 PM	"I don't need a Guild but someone would be nice. However I guess I could go with just developing by myself. That takes longer though," says Zane. ((Yeah I think I am going to head to bead. See everyone tomarow. Hopefully))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-19-06, 12:32 AM	"You could have all the time in the world if you wanted it, you know," Bad Lung's voice comes from behind the desk he's inspecting while Jaden's away dealing with the bed. "It's a bit of an adjustment for sure, and you'd probably want to stock up with a few gallons of unguent of timelessness before you start, but take it from me, the benefits far outweigh the down sides. I'd hate to go back to the life I had before I got sick." The ghoulish goblin jumps up to snatch a smoking, ragged scrap of material flying in through the window following a blast from the arena floor. "Alright! I was wondering when I'd have the chance to get this back." He wraps the rotten cloak he dropped before around himself, and pins it closed at the left shoulder with his shiny prize brooch. Mindful of the time, he quickly scurries away from the desk before Jaden gets back, and looks up at Zane appraisingly. "So? What do you think? The fever hurts but the hurting stops pretty soon." Bad Lung pauses a moment, scratches his head, and nudges Valor's leg to get his attention. "Oh, by the way, guy, if you start feeling unusually hot and sluggish, or notice tiny bits of your skin sloughing off in moist flakes, go back to the healers. Bites that don't kill you can carry... complications." ((I've stolen nothing, no smitey when Jaden gets back I hope.))
Golem011 09-19-06, 03:29 AM	(OOC) What about Cowardice and Valour? They're primals! And as for the Shapechanger, she's doing her nails, legs crossed, pouting and with a tiny hand-mirror.
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 08:51 AM	OOC Valor and Cowardice will certainly clash soon, most likely after Shiro, and Gareth finish showing off, all for the benifit of the others of course;)
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-19-06, 11:03 AM	((Anybody here at the moment??))
Shaggy_Shaggs 09-19-06, 11:08 AM	((Technically I'm still online but I'm about to try and get some sleep.))
BowenSilverclaw1986 09-19-06, 11:12 AM	((Okay, thanks for the reply. Just asking since I figure most of you guys are living in the States or somewhere on the American continent, because most of the posts I see are from copletely different times than here in the Netherlands (yep, I'm Dutch). Just to let you know, current time where I am is about 5:15 PM. So that's why I asked. Laterz.))
Golem011 09-19-06, 01:18 PM	(OOC) I live in Britain...
Khael 09-19-06, 02:13 PM	OOC: Yep, we're all over the place. I'm in England for example.
Golem011 09-19-06, 02:22 PM	(OOC) Yay UK!
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 02:45 PM	Two figures stride into the signup room, the first is pratically pulled by two large black hounds leashed to a chain that he holds in his hand. His small lithe figure pratically straining to find ourchase as the two beasts look around quietly. The leash is a single piece that looks almost like a strip of cloth or web. As it rubs against the fur of the two beasts it seems to stiffen them (It is a spiked chain of paralzing) He grins a lopsided grin and everyone notices the dark black skin and steel eyes. His hair is pulled back into a ponytail and his studded leather armor is varying shades of black with a dark velvet purple and black cloak. He looks around and sorta hunker's his shoulders smiling and says, "hello Everyone me and this here big guy are known as Azreil (bowing lowly) and Ashael (gesturing randomly behind him). The man behind him is dressed in an open vest that displays his bulging muscles and he stands well over 7 feet tall. He carries no weapons except for a large dagger made out of some sort of bone and emblazoned with several runes. His only other noticable Item is his gauntelets which appear to be of ivory with ebony designs enlayed. His knuckles are well scraped and he stands quielty looking not quite human and having a distant trance look in his eyes. He appears to be seeing something that just isnt there. He has a dark sash around his waist and long flowing pants. He moves far more gracefully than what one would expect him to. Azreil's teeth flash:D . "Where do we sign up?"
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 03:17 PM	Jaden crashes down after making a mighty leap from across the Arena. "Here is where you sign up, but you can't bring the dogs. Unless you summon it magically after the fight starts, no living, undead, or construct can fight for you."
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 03:27 PM	"Aww these two?" His smile breaks a fraction. "Alright your the bosslady. So we sign up here eh?" Azreil walks over and writes his name is long noble letters. "Ashael can you take the pups when I'm enjoying the fights?" Ash nods and signs himself in. His name crypticly written. Azreil pulls his hand up to his face and looks at it boredly. "We are both good mind you, I would rather us be great but hey, gotta do what the big man says right?" Gestures to Ashael whom is kneeling and looking at the too mastiffs.
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 03:35 PM	"Whatever floats your boat. The proprieter is in the middle of a duel at the moment, but we can seal that off with force walls if you wish to fight someone. However, our gladiators are currently either recovering or training. REcovering, because some got beat like redheaded stepchildren, and training because they haven't fought in a year or more. If you find someone you want to fight, talk to me and I'll arrange it."
Golem011 09-19-06, 03:37 PM	The Shapechanger lifts a bored hand. "I could do with a good battle."
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 03:41 PM	"A battle would suite me fine as well!" Ashael walks over and grabs the two collars of the mastiffs. Azreil raises and walks over. "Splendid! Shall we?"
Golem011 09-19-06, 03:43 PM	"Let's." The Shapechanger pulls the scimitar from her back and spins it around her hand flashily before catching it and lowering it to rest.
Khael 09-19-06, 03:46 PM	"Finally going to do something other than pose are you? Thats a change..."
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 03:47 PM	Azreil lowers his shoulders and his face shows signs of worry. "Um... what do you want it to be? Yield, first blood, knockout or umm " Gulps," Death?" He stands slowly and wraps the spiked chain around his forearm. The vials around his waist jingling fluidly.
Golem011 09-19-06, 03:57 PM	"Knockout. Wouldn't want my pretty face being spoiled, would I?"
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 04:00 PM	Azreils shoulder slump visibly. "Know i figure its in both our best interests to keep as nice as possible. So... Shall we dance, you and I?" He stands and jumps into the arena running to the far side before slowing down and pulling a small pouch from his belt.
Golem011 09-19-06, 04:07 PM	The Shapechanger leaps into the arena, landing in a crouch.
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 04:09 PM	Azreil kneels and slides two fingers into the dirt he then stands quickly flicking his ponytail behind him and with a smile says "Come and get me sweetheart!"
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 04:17 PM	The Magic Mouth appears in the Arena, declaring that you have a 20x20 space to fight in. "BEGIN!"
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 04:21 PM	Azreil picks up a small rock slightly smaller than his hand and throws it at the sly little shapeshifter. He grins and asks "Too much for you?"
Golem011 09-19-06, 04:29 PM	She spins gracefully, cutting the rock in half with her scimitar. "Not really." She raises her staff and a bolt of lightning lashes out at Azreil...
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 04:40 PM	The bolt strikes Azreil fully in the chest and he hits the ground roughly and spasming, he sits up and shakes his head roughly, that was a trifle rough dont you think sweetie? He looks at her quietly and then the light around the arena dims darkly before he himself disappears as if pulled in to the shadows.
Golem011 09-19-06, 05:02 PM	"Rough? You think that was rough?" She grins. "Disappearing into shadows, eh? Well, I know how to counter that..." Suddenly lights blaze into life around the arena, banishing most of the shadows.
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 05:08 PM	Azreil freezes in the middle of sauntering up and sheeplishly smiles. "Hey... not so bright!" He brings the light to a dim glow and charges slashing swiftly with his chain at her soft soft head.
Golem011 09-19-06, 05:13 PM	Her head ripples out of the way, her body shifting into an amorphous blob and twisting round, reforming into her shapely form behind the man before slashing with the scimitar at his back...
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 05:22 PM	Azreil ducks and whips the chain in a crescent arc below him then up his back deflecting the blow. The burns on his body are already reknitting into healthy black skin and he grabs the blade of the scimitar with his hand and lets it bit into his skin. A deep sigh can be heard and he pulls himself close and serenly says its a pleasant feeling and punches out with his fist into her head.
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 05:34 PM	((Sweet, proof people can fight with little-to-no input from me! The thread will survive if I have to leave.)) Jaden looks down from the balcony. "Clever little shapeshifter. Gotta admire dirty fighting tricks."
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 05:40 PM	OOC (Ouch i think i might not do well on this one, This character is pretty good but hes gotta fear of magic users that he needs to overcome. I shoulda used Ashael, maybe nexttime lol.)
Golem011 09-19-06, 05:49 PM	The shapechanger's head becomes an amorphous blob which latches onto Azreil's fist, holding it. She lets the scimitar go and makes a quick gesture with her hand. A lightning bolt lashes at his stomach...
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 05:56 PM	and is resisted! Azreil mutters a couple words and suddenly his hands burst into flames. (Burning hands) He pulls back and grabs the chain and whips it towards her while spinning the other direction for a follow through hit. "You dont know it yet but i think i might be falling for you... soon."
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 06:00 PM	Zane looking quessy at the thought of being dead runs off towards the bathroom after a polite no. ((Is Endeca up?))
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 06:07 PM	Endeca wakes up slowly, yawning loudly and stretching mightily. Immediately, she begins swapping the junk she's wearing over her clothing with comletely new junk.
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 06:10 PM	Cali walking over to her mentor and asks "Can we train some today?"
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 06:12 PM	Endeca straps a giant warhammer on her back. You can feel the weight reducing enchantments in her straps working with it. She belts several random flasks and slides a shrunken gnome head into her chest pocket. "Sure, what'd you have in mind? What do you want to get out of your training?
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 06:15 PM	"I want to be able to control my own magic, instead of barrowing someone elses with wands and scrolls. No offense, but I don't really like the chaos of the magic that you normally do. Can you do normal magic?"
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 06:17 PM	Endeca sighs with diasappointment. "Yeah, I can do normal magic just fine, but that's Booooooooooooring ((you can hear the capital B)). Chaos is so much more interesting, you never know what you get! But, we can do normal magic. To the Arena Floor!" Endeca bounds off in a burst of girlish energy.
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 06:19 PM	OOC: Gareth, you ready? I'm baaaack! While still in his defensive stance, Shiro reaches into his gi and pull out what looks like a disk, with a lunge, he hurls it at straight at Gareth, it leaves a blue trail as it travels. "Try this!"
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 06:20 PM	Cali follows her to the Arena floor to see it in use. "Is there anywhere else we can train? I don't want to interupt them," she asks.
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 06:21 PM	((How many Arena floors are there?:confused: Because there are two fights going on right now))
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 06:22 PM	Gareth responds without any subtlety at all: A HUGE ICE EXPLOSION rips through the 20x20 area, sending shards flying, followed by a blast of extreme cold. Working to take advantage of Shiro's (expected by him, not nescessarily required) disorentation, he comes in for a seiries of high-low-high-diagonal slashes
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 06:25 PM	((How many Arena floors are there?:confused: Because there are two fights going on right now)) ((It can be divided into 20x20 squares via Force Wall))
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 06:26 PM	((Oh, Sorry didn't relize that but Cali's question still stands because she doesn't know either. By the way how many?))
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 06:29 PM	Azreil scrambles around looking smug... The darkness healing his wounds as he forges two shortswords of of the shadows
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 06:29 PM	Smiling as if expecting the explosion, but still slightly off balance, Shiro bobs and weaves out of the way of Gareths deadly blade, it does manage to catch him in the shoulder, drawing a very thin line of blood. But not managing to ruin his gi. At the same time as the attack lands, the chakram Shiro threw rebounds off of the wall, hitting Gareth solidly in right shoulder and emitting a burst of lightning which travels through Gareth's armor, causing his muscles to twitch involuntarily. Taking advantage of Gareth's suprise, Shiro comes in fast and pivots rapidly in place, creating a virtual whirlwind of blades. Breaking out of the spin at the last moment, Shiro launches a slash utilizing the previous momentum aimed at Gareth's other shoulder.
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 06:32 PM	Azreil scrambles out of the arena helping the shifter up and pulling her into safety. "Jeez people can be so pushy when they are stronger than you can't they?" ((You guys are in a seperate area, untouched by the ice and cold)) ((Oblivion, it can be converted to 40 of those squares)) Endeca: "We can get a nice, fenced off area in the Arena. We've got enchantments all over the place and one of 'em will keep us nice and safe." ((Afk soon, dinner coming up))
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 06:33 PM	((Azreil Nightshade your fight is in a seperated box from Shiro's and Gareth's so no interuptions but you only got 20x20 square to work with so no need to stop the fight.))
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 06:35 PM	"Ok. But if we get yelled at it is your fault," she states. She slowly walks into the arena as if expecting an attack at any momement. Not that she could dodge one if one came her way.
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 06:35 PM	Gareth sees the sword coming in. "Enough of this. Time to get serious." The ice naturally spreading from him flares out and covers the entire square in foot-thick ice. Gareth, skating as if it were nothing, dodges the attack and smiles. Twelve identical Gareths arise from the ice, lunging to the attack in coordinated bursts. "Can you take ALL of me?"
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 06:35 PM	(ooc okayi changed it to better suit the situation.)
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 06:49 PM	Laughing with the joy of battle, Shiro leaps upwards and jumps off of the ceiling with blinding speed. As he hurtles downwards, he delivers a devastating series of slashes that cut eight of the Gareth clones down, and as he lands, his body seems to shiver as it splits into four other Shiro's each of them taking on a Gareth clone. As soon as the clones separate, Shiro focuses for a moment and starts to deliver lightning fast slashes, all of them in the general direction of the Gareth that the clones have'nt engaged the air seems to ripple for a moment and Gareth begins felling blows on his armor that have the same force as a warhammer. Tori-kiri!
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 06:49 PM	((Must be diner time or bed time for allot of our posters. Oh and Zanes going to go on a trip so I am going to introduce another charracter soon.))
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 07:00 PM	Gareth fends off the lightning slashes with insta-icewalls, going full defensive to find a weakness in his opponent's technique. ((Gareth technique: Ice Clones: Gareth can create up to twelve ice clones, each 1/5 of his strength. Whenever one falls, two more pop up at 1/2 of the clone's previous strength. No more than 4 such divisions are possible))
Azreil Nightshade 09-19-06, 07:05 PM	(So Golem left and now i gotta leave do we call the match a draw>)
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 07:06 PM	((You can keep it on hold if you want. Otherwise, yes))
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 07:09 PM	OOC: Shiro's technique, Clones of Purpose: They are all 1/4 of his strength and when cut down explode, showering everything with in 15 feet with Force energy that could take the average orc out instantly. Shiro of course, is immune. Seeing Gareth go on the defensive, Shiro punches the floor, raising a wall out of it that extends to the ceiling. One of his clones Explodes, obliterating a gareth clone in the process. A Chant can heard from Shiro's side of the wall.
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 07:11 PM	Silently, Gareth melds into the ice of his side of the wall. He (again, silently), re-forms from the ice behind Shiro and strikes, lightning fast, at his exposed back.
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 07:12 PM	A small bird lands in on the desk in the Sign up room. Atatched to its leg is a note. Coming up to the signup room to check in on the battles going on in the arena, Zane notices the bird. Oblviously reconizing it he takes the note, reads it and says to Jaden, "Cancle any matches that I am signed up for. I have to go attend to urgent family busness and I will be back as soon as posible but till then see you latter." And with out any further adu he teleports out of the room to an unknow location. Cali relizing that she is safe with in the arena starts to calm down. Seeing Shiro and Gareth's battle she asks, "Can you do anything like that, Endeca?"
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 07:15 PM	Endeca looks startled at the question. "Shades, no! Gareth is on-par with GODS Cali. I can't compare at all. However...the kind of power he wields, corrupts when you taste of it. He spent long years fighting off the touch of evil before his will was his own again. Even now, he has to carry the curse it gave him as its mark."
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 07:21 PM	The chant almost completed, Shiro seems to be cleaved in half but then a block of wood appears in his place, laughing, Shiro manages to say, "Substitution technique. With the final words of the spell, a swirling vortex comes into being, it seems to embedded in the western wall. Form the vortex, a heat like no other comes thorugh, quikly raising the temperature in the arena to the point where the air shimmers with it. [Needless to say,] the ice melts. Shiro reaches into the vortex and comes out with fistfull's of flame, Smiling, he begins to hurl them at Gareth. "Take this! Gate Of The Fire Dragon!"
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 07:23 PM	"Oh," she says with a little bit of shame in her vioce for wanting that kind of power. "Besides ice isn't that cool any ways. Fire is way cooler. See." As she says that her hands are engulfed in flames that although don't seem to harm her are real.
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 07:24 PM	Gareth sees the fire and fear flickers across his face. "ICE!" What you, as a well-traveled planar creature would know, see is ice from the eighth lair of the Nine Hells, the coldest thing you can get in the D&D multiverse, spray out of his hands in a cone. He concentrates, but staggers to his knees, and the ice flickers. He raises his hands in a signal of surrender, and all attacks and magical effects cease. "I...yield."
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 07:26 PM	"Oh," she says with a little bit of shame in her vioce for wanting that kind of power. "Besides ice isn't that cool any ways. Fire is way cooler. See." As she says that her hands are engulfed in flames that although don't seem to harm her are real. Endeca looks down and says gently. "Put that out. Lose focus and your hands will burn off. And it isn't the ice magic that's corrupting, but that story is one Gareth will have to tell you himself."
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 07:28 PM	Shiro waves his hands and the vortex dissapears. He then walks over to Gareth. "Are you okay? I may have gotten a little carried away, but I haven't had this much fun since I fought with fury! Also, Valor will be practically unconcious with joy, seeing as how you are so capable. Again, you have my thanks for offering to teach him."
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 07:31 PM	Gareth gets up slowly, armor crashing slightly. "I haven't faced that kind of power since...ever. Don't tell me your student has that kind of potential? If he does, this may prove more difficult than first imagined." Gareth shakes himself violently and ice re-forms on his armor. The familiar weight seems to comfort him. "Let's go meet the lad, shall we?"
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 07:35 PM	The flames go out and Cali looks down at her feet in guilt for not getting the leason her teacher was trying to teach her. "I'm sorry," she says.
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 07:37 PM	Endeca chuckles slightly. "No worries. Just remember, magic isn't a toy...yet. Now, shall we begin?" The Chaos Mage strides out to the Arena floor, beckoning her apprentice to follow.
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 07:40 PM	Shiro begins to walk in stride with Gareth and says, "Yes, he has the same potential. He IS an aestetic after all and as such has powers that can match a primal of similar age. You weren't there when I fought with fury but if you like, i can show the entire match in your mind, just place your hand in mine and open your mind. I, of course, would never fool around in anothers mind." Valor turns with such speed that he loses balance and crashes to the floor, getting up quickly he runs to the two warriors almost tripping over his feet in the process. "H,H,H, How'd you guys to that stuff!?!? Can I learn that too? Can I wear armor like his and use a sword like that?" Valor proceeds to stammer on nosensically until Shiro stops him. Turning to Gareth, Shiro says, "Would you be so kind as to explain?"
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 07:41 PM	Cali follows, still slightly confused over what her mentor was trying to teach her, although even more determined to learn to control her magic.
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 07:42 PM	Gareth smiles. "In order, as the answers apply to me, you don't want to know, yes, yes, yes. Welcome to my class, Valor." Gareth gives a mildly evil smirk. ((Gotta go for now, sorry!))
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 07:45 PM	((well then since Zane is gone and Cali is bussy I think now will be a good time to get some diner it's only 4:44 pm where I live but hey what ever. BTW I live in Washington State.))
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 07:47 PM	((Scratch that guess I will chat with you Fox))
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 09:29 PM	((I'm back suckas! :) ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 09:31 PM	OOC I live in Virginia so It's about 9:27 here. Valor looks flabberghasted, "C,C,Class? What the nessus are you talking about?" As the realization dawns on him, Valor brightens up considerably, with his eyes as wide as saucers he asks, "So YOU'RE gonna teach me? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!" Shiro, smiling a little, waves to Valor, saying "Make me AND Gareth proud." And Shiro begins slowly walking away.....
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 09:33 PM	And Gareth drops into the one instruction method he's ever known: Crusty Old Fart. "Alright, let's hike you down to the armory and get you something thick. You need conditioning if you want to survive in something this heavy. And a decent sword too, that things fatter'n my aunt."
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 09:38 PM	With a start, Valor brings his legs together and his hand up to his forehead in a salute. "Yes Sir!!!" Frowning ever so slightly, Valor asks, "Do you not like my Sunblade?"
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 09:41 PM	"It ain't that I don't like the thing, and godblessed swords are great, but the kind of blade I use," Gareth raises his sword, then sheaths it, "Is the standard by which all others are measured. Learn this, you've done half the battle on any other sword." Gareth comes to a black door that didn't seem to exist before. He places his hands to it, and it shudders open. "Find a suit of plate mail you think'll fit. I'm not sure what the enchantments are on all of these, so be careful. One of them blows up when you put it on."
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 09:46 PM	((Instead of bouncing around, you may wanna hang out in Monsters' Lair until you see the thread hit. I usually go pretty fast :) ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 09:48 PM	Valor, looking just like a kid in a candy shop practically floats over to a suit of green dragonhide armor and with starry eyes begins trying it on, being magical it resizes to fit him perfectly. "How's this look, teacher? But by Chaav's laughter! this thing is heavy! "
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 09:52 PM	"It's supposed to be. That thing will stop a Stone Giant's waraxe. However, just because you have armor doesn't mean you can relax. I need to condition you in it's use. Now, Jaden will be helping me teach you. She's an expert on two-handed swords and cheap shots, and when she's done, you will be bloody, bruised, and knowledgeable. For now, grab a pair of longswords and come out to the Arena. I'll need to use something besides Soulreaver."
Lord_Gareth 09-19-06, 10:04 PM	((HEadin' to bed now, cya))
Foxhengeyokai 09-19-06, 10:05 PM	Valor looks around at the weapon racks and select's two very plain looking longswords. "Will these do sir?" Valor begins walking towards the arena, clearly trying not to show the effort he is using to move now that he's all armored up.
Oblivionsfate 09-19-06, 10:43 PM	A lone warrior walks into the arena's sign up room. He is wearing mithral chainmail, and has a katana straped to his hip. Being an elf his ears stick out of his helm which is adorn with the head of a Red dragon, that is carved into it. His chainmail has paterns of dragon wings in it and has a sheen that seems unnatrual. On his back lies a backpack filled to the brim with so much stuff that you can see varrious items spilling out such as a map case and a few vails of a mystrous liquid. ((Fox' what lvl would you think Shirro is? Not that this guy is that lvl but I am basing him around 20th lvl gestalt fighter/sorc.))
Khael 09-20-06, 04:10 AM	OOC: Shiro isn't just levels. It's what he is (as far as I can tell, similar to a pre-god, but not directly as powerful as a god, though I wouldn't trust the last comment to be true.)
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 09:04 AM	OOC Belive it or not, Shiro was an old character of mine, he was a 10th level fighter, 10th bladedancer, 15th iajutsu master, 20th wu jen, and at the end of the campaign he had 13 divine ranks. Right now, I'm playing him mostly as a pre-god as khael said. If you've seen the krede's cafe lines, you'll note that he's an equal counter part to the primnals in there.:D Oh, yeah! Shiro's still technically in the arena. Of course, I can easily down Shiro's abilities down, look at the fight with Gareth for example, He could have just used a doubly intensified metor swarm right off the bat, but that's no fun, now is it? Just tell me how you wanna play it out, and I'll try to work with you. OOC
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 10:37 AM	((Ok. So we have quite some distance here. But you don't think that a 20 lvl gesalt fighter sorc. that can wear armor with of Arcane spell failure is too strong do you? Oh and I was thinking maybe Shiro Could have been a Friend of Cronos' dad and they had met that way.))
Khael 09-20-06, 11:02 AM	OOC: Technically by RAW a gesalt is too strong compared to the standard. Here though it'd be the norm, after all Gareth (clad in full-armour) is slinging spells back at Shiro. If you feel your guy should have a more 'RAW-legal' backing add in a few spell-sword levels (which lowers ASF by some percent). In roleplaying after all your character can be illegal as you want, so long as it can be at least equalled by others there, and makes for a good read...
Golem011 09-20-06, 11:06 AM	The Shapechanger ripples back into her original shape and spins away...
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 11:55 AM	OOC: Man, there's alot of stuff going on in here..... Gareth, I'm gonna have Valor take on cowardice next, so his training will have to wait. OOC: Turning around with a start, Valor looks over at Cowardice, frowning slightly, Valor looks back at Gareth and says, "I need to finish business with this scum first, Teacher always said, "Before you start one thing, finish the last first." Cowardice! Come into the arena with me and we'll settle this once and for all!"
Golem011 09-20-06, 12:46 PM	"Yes, 'cousin'." Cowardice looks bitter.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 01:56 PM	OOC Right, let's do this. After setting his new green dragon plate mail and the plain longsword he was carrying aside, Valor walks onto the arena floor gripping his bastard sword tightly. Arriving in the center of the arena Valor turns to face Cowardice. "Lets begin shall we?"
Golem011 09-20-06, 02:04 PM	And Cowardice... isn't there. Suddenly, a blade swipes at Valour's neck from behind.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 02:15 PM	Jerking forwards suddenly, the blade misses Valor's neck by less than an inch as Valor turns around, drawing his sword in the same motion. With a yell, he swings the blade in an arc, the blade trailing a golden light.
Golem011 09-20-06, 02:18 PM	Cowardice ducks with a whimper, lashing forward with his knife.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 02:27 PM	OOC sure, shiro can be a friend of krono's dad, just have him walk up to shiro and we'll start talking. Valor steps into the blow, letting the knife bounce off of the reinforced armor and delivers a devastating punch using the hilt of his sword to add weight to the blow to Cowardice's stomach. Valor then steps back, looking for signs of weakness. "Is that all you can do?"
Golem011 09-20-06, 02:41 PM	Cowardice stumbles backwards, coughing. However, an evil glint comes into his eye, and suddenly he is no longer there. An arm loops around Valour's neck and a knife slices across his throat... (OOC) Unless Valour does something about it. Heh.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 02:51 PM	OOC playing hardball eh? Fine. By the way, are you in the UK? As the knife runs across Valors neck, the platinum ring on his left hand glows bright and the wound begins appearing on Cowardice's neck instead. "I've seen that trick many times before. Wound trasference! As Valor watches the wound appear on Cowardice, he thrusts his blade into his foe's stomach, then kicks him off of it.
Golem011 09-20-06, 03:06 PM	The twin of Valour's ring on Cowardice's finger glows also, and the wound reappears on Valour as Cowardice dodges his blow. "A pity that you didn't guess THAT one!" (OOC) and yes, the UK.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 03:10 PM	"Wrong again you coward, I knew that you saw me use this before and came prepared for it" The ring on Valors other hand activates now, and he skin turns a dull black, the wound dissapears completely and Valor takes another swing at Cowardice, all the while chanting to the god Phieran for aid..... OOC I knew it!
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 03:15 PM	OOC: Technically by RAW a gesalt is too strong compared to the standard.

In roleplaying after all your character can be illegal as you want, so long as it can be at least equalled by others there, and makes for a good read... Gareth doesn't fling spells. He doesn't know a single one. His power is PART of him, an inherant ability that is supernatural in nature. That's why he can't disable the Frost Aura.
Golem011 09-20-06, 03:22 PM	(OOC) Heh heh... coulda been the GMT and the spelling 'Valour' instead of 'Valor'. Cowardice dives forward, ducking under Valor's blade to deal a... uhm... below-the-belt, down-and-dirty slash.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 03:29 PM	The knife hits something hard and metallic and Valor smiles. "I had an adamntine cup built into my armor after fighting that one succubus reaping mauler. Nice try though." Valor, taking advantage of Cowardice's now thoroughly shocked arm spins launching a kick [that also has weight from the iron body spell] at the cowards midsection as well as being his blade down in a diagonal arc.
Golem011 09-20-06, 03:36 PM	Cowardice manages to dodge the blade, but the wind is slammed out of him as he is smashed back into the wall of force. He leaves a trail of blood as he slides down, but he clambers back up again, scowling. "Take... THIS!" Blades whirr inwards, slamming and slashing at Valour whilst Cowardice smirks in the background.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 03:45 PM	His chant [remember that?] completed, walls of glowing holy power spring into being and stop every blade save one, that blade gets cut in half by a swift slash from Valor's sword. Raising the sword to the heavens, A brilliant golden light begins shining from it a small ball of light appears on the tip of it, and with a slash, it's hurled directly at Cowardice. Sunburst! The ball, crackling with energy hits the wall right beside cowardice and explodes in a burst of heat and holy power, blowing a divot even in the walls of force..... OOC: you can describe it's effects on Cowardice, I just wanted to use that one.:P
Golem011 09-20-06, 03:50 PM	Cowardice leaps sideways, taking only scratches. (OOC) Lucky that Evasion is a cowardly tactic... :P (OOC) "I'll teach you!" He himself throws his own sphere, a crackling ball of shrieking flames filled with screaming faces, which crashes towards Valour... "Ball of Feardeath!"
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 04:01 PM	After the ball passes through the holy walls, Valor Strikes at it with his blade, clearly in pain, he struggles with it until he deflects it right back at Cowardice. Valor begins another chant and steps forwards slowly, each step clanking loudly with another slash a smaller ball flies from his sword this one exploding right in front of cowardice, taking advantage of the flash, Valor slashes at the blindish man's knees.
Golem011 09-20-06, 04:08 PM	Cowardice flails at the glowing spheres and gasps as the blade slices his knees. He falls to the ground, still awake but in pain, and clutches his legs. "I surrender! I surrender!" But...
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 04:13 PM	Taking a step back at the sound of a surrender, Valor begins to put his sword back in it's sheath and says "As much as I hate to admit it, you've gotten much stronger as well. The clerics will heal those wounds."
Golem011 09-20-06, 04:16 PM	As Valour moves backwards, Cowardice leaps up like a snake, driving his poisoned blade at Valour's face.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 04:19 PM	Using a technique taught to him by his beloved teacher, Valor pulls his blade out of it's sheath and using the momentum from the pull, slashes at Cowardice's sword hand, forcing him to drop the blade. "Fool" OOC: you know Shiro would have to teach at least a little Iaijustu!
Golem011 09-20-06, 04:30 PM	Cowardice drops the blade, yelping. "Pity you haven't observed MY training..." He stretches his face back and screams...
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 04:40 PM	With a terrible look of shock, Valor rocks back as waves of sonic energy hits him and pounds at his brain. Looking deep in himself Valor uses the holiness that as a paladin suffuses his body to shake it off. Breathing heavily, He asks "What are you> some kind of half kobald half Krenshar?" And with another slash at the screamers knees, Valor steps forward.
Golem011 09-20-06, 05:03 PM	(OOC) Last one tonight. "No, a PRIMAL!" Cowardice leaps upwards, his face contorting, and releases another screech.
Khael 09-20-06, 05:08 PM	Gareth doesn't fling spells. He doesn't know a single one. His power is PART of him, an inherant ability that is supernatural in nature. That's why he can't disable the Frost Aura. OOC: I figured the duplication and explosion he caused were spells or spell-like, the aura i knew was no spell.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 05:11 PM	OOC Gotcha, We're gonna keep the primal powers low key right? Easily ignoring the scream, Valor yells, "I told you the same trick wouldn't work twice on me! A single sky blue wing appears from Valors back and his blade grows to the size of a fullblade and Valor easily and with a speed that is deceptive hefts it on his shoulder. "Well?"
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 07:38 PM	Cronos walks up to shirro, and says, "Well, well, well, who do we have here? Is it not my dad's best freind?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 07:54 PM	Looking at the elf with a look of suprise, Shiro smiles warmly and gives him a hug. "Well if it isn't the little brat himself? How've you been, and how's the old man?"
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 07:57 PM	Before another blow can fall, Gareth appears in the middle of Valor and Cowardice's fight. Ice forms around both combatant's hands, shoulders, and feet, preventing mobility. "ENOUGH!" "Do you have ANY idea the kind of magical strain your wild flailings are causing on our mages? We've lost one that's supporting the containment field, and if this continues, you'll bring the whole building down. Finish this when you can control yourselves!"
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 08:02 PM	Blushing a deep red, Valor says, "Teacher, why are you interfereing? We were just getting started!" Frowning Valor then says, "I'm sorry, i never meant to cause you any trouble sir."
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 08:10 PM	Gareth gives Valor a stern glare. "I know you didn't mean it, but that man almost died trying to maintain the spell. When someone gives themselves like that to magic, there's no coming back for them, no resurrections, and no second chances." Gareth whirls on Cowardice. "If I EVER see such a low-down trick as faking a surrender in my arena EVER again, I will obliterate your soul, you sniveling worm!" Shaking his head slowly, Gareth re-enables the anti-combat wards and walks off the arena floor.
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 08:14 PM	"Well not so well. See just a few years ago he was visited by one off his "old freinds", and well this "freind" left his dagger behind. In my dad's gut. So I've been looking around for him. And just last week I finaly found him, six feet under. Apparently he was murdered too," he says. "I was thinking of testing my skills here. But your skills don't need testing no do they. So why are you here?" Cali walking out to the area where they are going to be training, asks Endeca, "When is ok to use magic? Because you use it all the time and it seems like a toy to you."
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 08:15 PM	Cringing, Valor begins, "I, I, I'm sorry sir, i had no idea. Please, wait for me! Valor bounds out of the arena and picks his longsword and Plate back up. "Where were we sir?"
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 08:17 PM	"Well not so well. See just a few years ago he was visited by one off his "old freinds", and well this "freind" left his dagger behind. In my dad's gut. So I've been looking around for him. And just last week I finaly found him, six feet under. Apparently he was murdered too," he says. "I was thinking of testing my skills here. But your skills don't need testing no do they. So why are you here?" Cali walking out to the area where they are going to be training, asks Endeca, "When is ok to use magic? Because you use it all the time and it seems like a toy to you." Endeca smiles. "Magic becomes a toy when you learn how to control it and how not to control it. I know that no matter what, I can take on anything that Chaos sends my way, so I feel free to have a blast with it. Now, to buisiness. The first cantrip you should learn is a simple one that translates magical scrolls." Endeca goes into a long, detailed but not boring explanation on the arts of memorizing spells and meditation. It'll be an hour or two while Cali learns to memorize and then attempts to memorize the spell.
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 08:18 PM	((Ok))
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 08:19 PM	Gareth looks at his student, the fury still evident in his face. "Valor...what's the first rule of fighting?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 08:22 PM	"Only fight when the life of someone important is at stake. That is what I've been taught." The realization dawning on him Valor begins Blushing again.
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 08:24 PM	Gareth slowly shakes his head. "Close, and many would agree with you, but the first rule of combat, no matter if you are the vilest blackguard or the noblest paladin, is to know when to quit. I'm in no mental condition to teach you right now. I'd likely kill you permanantly dead. Just..just go, I'll talk to you later."
thecrazyDM 09-20-06, 08:29 PM	Enter Ayik-Ayik Stormhammer (Dwarf name and kobold name, yeah I meant to.) Chaotic Good kobold cleric of hephaestus stands 3 ft tall and has a hand-me-down adamantite maul. He is clad in mithral plate armor and his trademark signature item, a dragon shaped red glass mask that has a lower jaw covering strap that moves with it.(or is it glass:smirk: ) He stays calm at most times, but if faced with evil he is reminded of his childhood.(hint:horrid scars, flames, death.)He then remembers his childhood vow never to let any evil creature live beyond his sight and bring such sadness into other's lives. An unusually tall kobold walks in. He is clad in blueish armor with a hammer and anvil on it and an outrageously huge hammer is on his back. his face is hidden by a translucent red dragon mask."Oy, I'd like to sign up for the arena." He throws ten gold coins onto the desk and smiles smartly underneath his mask. You sense a large cloud of overconfidence coming from him.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 08:30 PM	Still cringing, Valor responds with "Understood sir"
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 08:32 PM	Jaden looks up almost lazily. "Alrighty then. Let me see who's open..." The paladin begins flipping through a list of gladiatiors. ((Relative fighter levels? You read the first post, right?))
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 08:33 PM	((Oblivion, you're character is done learning and must now make the attempt without blowing to smithereens :D ))
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 08:36 PM	((COOL! BOOM!! Why is she learning memorization, do you mean preparing spells like a wizard or learning spells.))
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 08:36 PM	Still smiling, Shiro lets cronos go, and asks him, "I last saw your father in limbo, what are you doing here? It's been far too long since i saw either of you."
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 08:37 PM	((Already said whats up with my dad or in this case down like six feet down)) "Not much but what are you doing here. Where is that star pupil you talked of last time I saw you?" he asks.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 08:46 PM	OOC I thought that was cali talking. DUR! "He is busy getting chastised by the owner of this fine place. Seems he got carried away in his fight with an old rival of his. He should be sulking around here somewhere...."
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 08:47 PM	((wizard))
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 08:47 PM	"Oh. So what have you been up to lately?" Cronos ask of Shiro.
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 08:51 PM	((She is a Sorc. so is this just to learn the control or is this to learn to prepare her spells like a wizard)) Cali concentrates on the spell but finds it hard to stick the spell down. Just as she is about to get it the spell back fires in a flash of light and smoke.
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 08:53 PM	((She is a Sorc. so is this just to learn the control or is this to learn to prepare her spells like a wizard)) Cali concentrates on the spell but finds it hard to stick the spell down. Just as she is about to get it the spell back fires in a flash of light and smoke. ((Sorcerers cannot be taught, only learned, so if Cali wants to learn, she's gonna have to learn wizard. This is Wiz prep school :D ))
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 09:00 PM	((Oh well. It will just be a long and hard road then but that doesn't mean we can't teach her theories. Besides when i DM I house rule that Sorc. can learn spells from out side forces but they require help and allot of practice lots like a year to learn a spell form an outside force, i.e. a scroll or other spellcaster. Besides theories can be taught and so can controll. Just not the spells them selves. But that is just my oppion.)) Cali frustrated with the lack of control tries again with the same results.
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 09:04 PM	Endeca says gently "Don't get frustrated. The more frustrated you get, the less control you have. Examine the flow of magic within yourself; obviously, something is blocking it, and you must find a way to remove this blockage." Jaden gets up from her desk after seeing Valor sulk off. She goes looking for the boy.
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 09:06 PM	"How do I do that?" she asks with a puzzled look.
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 09:09 PM	"Concentrate. Look deep in yourself, deeper than the secrets you hide even from yourself, deeper than the core of oyur being, and into your connection to the Weave. Something is blocking that connection, and because it is a part of you, you will be able to tell what."
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 09:19 PM	"Ok," she says. Looking within herself she concentrates on her magic. Finding a not she unties it unleashing a wave of magic that she uses to cast the spell. However the spells effect is used up and last for a verry limited time.
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 09:29 PM	Shiro grins, "I've been up to keeping that young fool alive and well, But i did manage to meet up with an old friend of mine. You missed a minor bout i had with Gareth. Did you ever find out who managed to kill your father?"
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 09:40 PM	"Yeah. It turns out it was that wizard he was always talking about beating the crap out of. Still don't get why he let him in though. Oh well whats, done is done," Crono says. "Is there anyone here outside of you and that Gareth guy that is any good? Not that I want to fight you right now but I was looking for someone who might be about equal to my skill."
Foxhengeyokai 09-20-06, 09:52 PM	"To your skill level? It seems that there was a preist of hephestus here earlier, he may be of your skill level, I doubt he is over your skill level." "I would be honored to see you fight, after all I haven't seen you fight since you were mad at that corrolax for taking your bread."
Lord_Gareth 09-20-06, 10:02 PM	((I'm done for the night))
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 10:20 PM	"You won't be disaponited, that was way back in my training. Before I descovered my talent," he says. "So where is this Cleric? I want some exersize."
Oblivionsfate 09-20-06, 10:51 PM	((Got to go watch some shows. See you all tomarow))
Azreil Nightshade 09-21-06, 01:58 AM	Azreil walks silently down the halls in thought as Ashael meditates. The two dogs are sniffing around some of the regulars legs and liking exposed calves.
The_Bard_No_One_Wanted 09-21-06, 02:20 AM	(OOC) Wow, things really got hot around here. When I left, it was still page 1. Now, page 18. Sweet. (OOC) Karloff spazzes out, performing motions and talking as if he were in fast forward. He cracks his neck, and rubs his forhead once the spazzing stops. "Wow, a time flux. That hasn't happened in a while. Whew, I hope I don't have to do that again, it was pretty.. unerving, to say the least." He smiles and looks around for Jaden, quite possibly the only familiar face he has around here. "Oh Jaden? What went on while I was frozen? Where are you?" He pushes a few people out of the way, but doesn't even acknowledge the fact that he is being quite rude. "Jaden? I'm confused and a little cold, whats going on?" *EDIT*If anyone would like to read about one of Karloff's previus exploits, I am writing a story and posting it here.

Golem011 09-21-06, 08:32 AM	Cowardice... cowers. After the shouting is over, he creeps away and disappears into shadows. "Damn screech... I knew I should never have learnt from that Banshee..."
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 03:16 PM	((for anyone looking for them, my characters are in the following locations: Endeca: Arena Floor Gareth: His room, brooding Jaden: Wandering about, looking for Valor Brisinaria: Wilderess, heading towards the arena))
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 03:30 PM	Valor stops as he see's Jaden approaching. Still sulking, he asks, "What do you want? I made a mistake, alright?" Shiro looks around and says, "I don't know where the cleric is, but I DO want you to tell me what fighting style you've chosen. I know that with rare exceptions, humans, elves, and all of the smaller races lack the speed needed to use the Kiba-no-Kitsu-Kami fighting style. So I know I didn't train you, and your father never spoke of it. OOC: to anyone who speaks japanese I'm sorry for murdering your language! I wanted to say Fang of the fox god..... Oh well.
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 03:32 PM	Jaden gives Valor a sage look. "Walk with me kid, there are some things I should explain to you."
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 03:40 PM	Still looking entirely unhappy, Valor begins walking with Jaden. "What do you want to tell me?"
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 03:47 PM	"You gotta understand kid, Gareth has a convoluted and bloody past. He hates what he did, and he hates himself for not being able to stop it. He thinks he was weak, and our best efforts cannot convince him otherwise." Jaden pauses to sigh heavily. "When he saw you fighting Cowardice, he saw himself, all those years ago. He saw himself failing, succumbing to his own imagined weaknesses. He doesn't want you making his mistakes. Now, if you let him, he'll brood all week. Go make it up to the old guy or I'll punt you into Shiro." Jaden's grim face leaves you with a lingering doubt about wether or not the last comment was a joke.
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 03:51 PM	OOC won't be posting for about another hour and a half. "I think teacher would hurl back into pandaemonium if you did that." Valor says with an audible gulp. "Where is his room anyway? I never had much skill at apologizing though, what can I say that'll make him stop brooding? I already said i was sorry for not knowing when to stop......."
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 03:56 PM	"Kid, you don't need to apologize for what you did. Part of the reason he's brooding is because he's mad at himself for getting mad at you. Think of something. As to his room, follow the bright blue arrows; he's got a terrible sense of direction and installed them so he wouldn't get lost." Her spiel done, Jaden clanks back to the sign-up desk.
Khael 09-21-06, 05:04 PM	The black-cloaked thing nods at Valor as Jaden walks back, "Amazing isn't it? 'That' has power at least equal to some gods, and he still acts as a pathetic child..."
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 05:15 PM	Jaden's voice drips with disdain at whatever cahracter Khael happens to be playing ((didn't catch description/name)). "So what? One only gets to act like a kid for so long, you know."
himo6013945 09-21-06, 05:22 PM	A black cloaked 5,11 figure approches the arena and signs up for a match stating he is god-like.((sorry dident catch level and stuff if there isent a set level i am god like)
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 05:23 PM	((Well, we gots de god-likes. Care for a bout now, or later?))
himo6013945 09-21-06, 05:24 PM	I guess now.
Khael 09-21-06, 05:24 PM	"Most don't do so for centuries and beyond. Hmmm, a god-like one? Gods are getting down-graded aren't they?" OOC: I give his description a while back, but in short: LOTR ringwraith, down to the armour swathed in black robe. Under that hasn't really been revealed here, but it basically black reptile scalings, long wide toothy mouth and piercing red eyes. He never gave a name since he didn't come to fight, but to watch and gamble. And like most of his kind he has a superiority complex, under the grounds of since his kind were crafted as perfect for their roles, everything else is below them. Hence why he has a tendency to mock anyone he feels like.
himo6013945 09-21-06, 05:27 PM	The black cloaked figure makes his way to the arena floor preparing for battle
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 05:28 PM	((Well, there's a betting booth to the right of the Sign-Up area. And if it sounds like I'm adding features as I go along, I am)) Jaden looks at the newcomer's sheet. "God-like eh? Well well, seems like the lower echelons of our prized fighters get to streatch for the first time in a century or two." Jaden tosses a small die in the air, and it begins to float and spin magically
himo6013945 09-21-06, 05:29 PM	So what kind of horrors do you have waiting for me in this infernal arena of death.((does the areana have a roof?))
Khael 09-21-06, 05:33 PM	OOC: Well, tis meant to be a mark of a good DM to make stuff up on the fly...
himo6013945 09-21-06, 05:45 PM	How many hd to things have at godlike?
Khael 09-21-06, 05:50 PM	OOC: It means serious magic power, I.E. nothing technically covered by rules. A god-like here can cause the area he's in to pretty much erupt and shatter about his opponent. Simply because he thought about it. This is roleplaying, HD don't matter, you pretty muich make up your character. If you want it can be rules -legal but tha tis no requirement. And god-like is what it says. The character is a match for a god, so at least 40HD or equalivent, probably more. And for things not being said by the character please use either OOC (out of character) or ((this)), to save confusion.
himo6013945 09-21-06, 05:53 PM	((Ok sorry I think I am going to get the floor wiped with my charecter but whatever I am ok unless they are immune to a certain thing))
himo6013945 09-21-06, 05:59 PM	((So gareth are you going to give me something to fight now even though I will probly get vaporized.))
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 06:00 PM	On the Arena floor, a new figure steps out onto the field of battle. ((Himo, this is your opponent)). He is short, with scraggly brown hair and piercing blue eyes. He is wearing a loose travel tunic and non-armor pants made out of leather. "I am Canius, lord of sound. Choose your match." A magic mouth appears in the center of your personal 20 x 20 ring, asking if you desire a First Blood, Yield, Knockout, or Death match.
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 06:01 PM	((And no, no roof. You can go up all you want))
himo6013945 09-21-06, 06:05 PM	Well I am not really sure there wont be any blood involved so not first blood.chuckles to himself.I dont yeild in combat so not that either knock out or deathmatch are fine.
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 06:06 PM	Canius nods his consent. Striking lightning-fast, he blasts out with a shrieking wall of sound, ripping through your body and making your ears screech in absolutely horrid pain.
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 06:06 PM	OOC I"m Back. Valor looks closely at the walls, and seeing a trail of blue arrows, then follows them all the way to a black door clearly marked "GARETH." Valro knocks loudly and waits for a response.
himo6013945 09-21-06, 06:07 PM	Well then again I am not sure I can prevent the opponent from dying so I guess a death match.
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 06:07 PM	((Foooooooooooooooooooox!)) Gareth can be heard shifting in his armor. What you assume is a matress creaks. "What?"
himo6013945 09-21-06, 06:10 PM	I was just stating that I wanted deathmatch but using more interesting languege.
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 06:12 PM	((Well, you took a bit long about it. You gotta try and do these in one post. You may want to react before Canius gets REALLY nasty.)) ((by the way, if you die accidentally in a non-death match, your character gets a ressurection. If you call a deathmatch, they can do whatever they like with your body))
himo6013945 09-21-06, 06:14 PM	I have a couple of clones and a chain contengency so I cant really die.So I tell the magic mouth deathmatch and begin.((Do you want me to go first or the other guy.))
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 06:16 PM	OOC: i'll post again in about an hour or so.... Gotta feed meself too. "Sir! I'm sorry for getting out of hand, but that Cowardice, just gets under my skin like noone else can, you know? When you fought with Teacher, you never lost your head, no matter how hard you were pressed. I want to be like that, I want to be able to fight and live, without hating my opponents, but i don't know how! Please teach me to be like you!" OOC Where's my Oscar?
Oblivionsfate 09-21-06, 06:21 PM	((Yeah I am on. Is there room for a second fight in the arena or are those two going to be using all of it?))
Oblivionsfate 09-21-06, 06:27 PM	Cronos says to Shiro, "I made my own fighting style. And I am quite certain I could keep up speed wise. You see I bend time to better suit me in combat." ((Improved haste that might beconsidered an epic lvl spell))
himo6013945 09-21-06, 06:35 PM	Suddenly a ball of black energy invelopes the short man simingly from no where and a blinding green ray of energy shoots from the the black cloaked mans hands at his opponet
himo6013945 09-21-06, 06:42 PM	((The black ball was a epic harm if he isent immune to neg. energy he drops to 1d4 hp the green ray was a maximized disinagrate for 240 damage.))
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 06:52 PM	((Ahh, but this isn't strictly by D&D rules, remember? Otherwise some things here couldn't exist.)) Canius seems to twitch just slightly, and a screaming wall of sound rips through the spellbindings. He opens his mouth, and a piercing shriek rips towards you, threatening to shatter bones and melt your brain. ((This thing can turn into 40 20 x 20 squares. You have room))
Oblivionsfate 09-21-06, 06:57 PM	Not waiting for Shiro's reply Cronos says, "Here why don't I show you." Walking over to Jaden Cronos asks, "You got anyone in the great catagory open for a fight?" Cali tries again to keep the spell stored within and seems to keep it from releasing for a little bit till the spell fizzels out of control in a puff of smoke.
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 07:00 PM	((I can't run two fights at once! I don't have that kind of mental power!))
Oblivionsfate 09-21-06, 07:02 PM	((OK I will be back on Later than. Got to do some things any ways))
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 07:25 PM	OOC: i'll post again in about an hour or so.... Gotta feed meself too. "Sir! I'm sorry for getting out of hand, but that Cowardice, just gets under my skin like noone else can, you know? When you fought with Teacher, you never lost your head, no matter how hard you were pressed. I want to be like that, I want to be able to fight and live, without hating my opponents, but i don't know how! Please teach me to be like you!" OOC Where's my Oscar? ((Hands Fox a green man in a trash can.)) The door to Gareth's room slowly swings open, revealing a winter wonderland. Gareth is sitting on a rocking chair, peering at Valor intently. Too lazy to have gotten up at the moment, there's a column of ice connecting his left hand to the door, which he used to open it.
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 07:26 PM	OOC I'm gonna use some norse mytho's now.:) No oscar for me eh? Fine:weep: BTW I'm back "So Cronos, you're a chronomancer now? Impressive indeed. I do have to wonder though, can you outrun sleipnir? I've did that once, and got this nifty bauble for my trouble." Shiro holds up a beautifully made golden ring, inscribed with the word "Draupnir" on it. "But enough of my bragging. If you like, i may be able to give you an opponent worthy of your talents... IF, I've fought with him or her already. You see, I have the ability to recreate, for battle at least, ANY opponent whose life i've taken. So, Give me an idea who or what you desire to fight."
thecrazyDM 09-21-06, 07:45 PM	"Oop, almost forgot!" He throws a waiver on the desk too which is signed Ayik-Ayik Stormhammer, Great. He then says "So, have ye found any empty spots yet or will I have to stand on someone else?" (Psst, he has a high bad humor rate!
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 07:49 PM	Jaden looks over at the dwarf, then the new guy. "Oi! Did you say you were 'great'?"
thecrazyDM 09-21-06, 07:56 PM	"Well, I..." the kobold frowns and reaches into his pack. He pulls out a letter. "Well, said in the notice that 'great heros of the land should come, and eh whats a little vanity now an' then, eh?" (He also has a new york/canadian/slang accent. What can I say, he grew up with dwarves.)
thecrazyDM 09-21-06, 08:12 PM	(I'm off for the night plz respond. bump)
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 08:27 PM	Gulping audibly again, Valor walks into the frigid room. "S,S,Sir, I still want to know, how can you be so calm?"
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 08:29 PM	Gareth looks over at Valor. "It's all a matter of perspective. I knew that my death, in all likelyhood, would not matter. After all, we have priests. In the event of my permanent death, I am confident that I will get what I deserve in the afterlife. Of course, YOU are sort of young..." "The trick, Valor, is to disattach yourself. Concentrate on your goal. It could be defeating your opponent or protecting a loved one, but concentrate on that goal and on staying alive if that is nesscesary to accomplish it. Come on, let's get you in that plate and we'll make you run laps in it." Gareth cracks a broad smile.
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 08:40 PM	"Laps, in this stuff?! It's heavier than a pregnant dwarf!" Shaking his head to clear his mind, Valor responds, "Yes Sir!" but may be heard muttering, "Now I know why teacher doesn't wear any..."
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 08:46 PM	"Quiet with that muttering Valor, I can run in this stuff. Besides, it'll toughen you up. After a lap or two around the Arena Floor we can get into blades." Gareth begins jogging at full normal speed ((Armor of Ease sucka!)) along the Arena Floor.
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 09:58 PM	Grunting with the effort, Valor begins running with Gareth, at half speed. "Sir, wait up!"
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 09:59 PM	((Because paladins can't cast detect lie)) "C'mon Valor, you can move faster than that! Hustle lad, this is the only way you can train to move in this stuff. I was moving top speed at eighteen!"
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 09:59 PM	((He is lying through his teeth. He barfed his guts out at eighteen :) ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 10:06 PM	Looking determined. Valor begins to move even faster, and as he does, he seems to grow more and more accustomed to the armor. "I can't believe..... That..... You.....Could move..... at full.... speed...."
Lord_Gareth 09-21-06, 10:11 PM	Gareth completes his lap and stops, looking winded only as much as any runner would without armor. "When you finish your lap, bust out those longswords. This is gonna hurt."
Foxhengeyokai 09-21-06, 10:21 PM	One minute later...... Valor finishes his lap, and walks over to the wall. Picking up a pair of plain looking longswords, he hands one to Gareth and holds the other one as he would a bastard sword. "How's this, Sir?"
Golem011 09-22-06, 05:01 AM	Cowardice sits, sniggering, watching his cousin do laps. (OOC) I wanna see Fear and Courage fight. I wonder if there'd be anything left of the arena afterwards...
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 10:23 AM	OOC Courage eh? for fun, it's gotta be a female, but i'm not sure how play her right..... Valor's a dufus. Shiro's the wise master, what else is there? The drunkard?
Golem011 09-22-06, 01:10 PM	(OOC)Well, you could make her the scholarly type... or the lawful intelligent paladin ;)
Khael 09-22-06, 01:12 PM	Courage by her own definition is going to be cliched. Think about it, pretty much anything that can fight involves courage at some point, as do a number of non-violent activites, so ultimately she'd either have to the standard warrior-type or the hermit/perfect housewife who happens to be destruction-incarnate while riled... And of course the perfect warrior technically.)) The black-cloaked figure looks out alongside Cowardice at Valor. "Whelp. What caused you to hold back on the stripling anyway? Or were you scared of the iceman?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 01:12 PM	OOC I've got it! She's gonna act like someones mother!:) Onwards, to the cafe i guess.
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 03:22 PM	((To those it may concern, I'm back :D )) Gareth looks over at his student's grip on the blade. "Now, I was never one to give long-winded explanations or demonstrations, so your training is going to proceed exactly like mine. Defend yourself!" Gareth comes in with a blazing-fast overhand swing. ((Gareth isn't trying to kill him. He will fight just a notch above his student's level of proficiency until Valor learns to get better. Then he ups the ante :) ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 04:18 PM	Eyes wide, Valor franticallly brings the longsword up to block but since he was using both hands, the blade rises upwards to fast, and Gareth's sword hit's it mercilessly, sending painful shockwaves all thorugh Valor's arm. "By lastai's caress! do all hits ave that much shock with these things?!"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 04:21 PM	"Only when you don't do it right!" Gareth comes up, down, sideways, diaganol, and a whole bunch of other directions besides as he forces his student on the defensive.
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 04:25 PM	Noticing how Gareth is holding his blade, inbetween franticallt dodging AND letting some of the minor hits bounce of his armor, Valor begins to alter how he holds his sword, he notices that the shock is much less now. "How's this Sir?"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 04:27 PM	"Better!" Gareth shifts to a two-handed grip, slamming his blade down against Valor's with obscene force. "Now, can you deflect an attack so your blade doesn't snap?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 04:37 PM	Trying to move the blade to the side as the blow connects, Gareths sword connect solidly and Valor's sword barely stands up to it. "By Phieran's tears! If you hit a person like that what happens?"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 04:41 PM	"They snap in half at the bone, if they have decent armor. Otherwise, I tend to shear them in two." Gareth continues his two-handed assault.
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 04:42 PM	((Love the BoED references, by the way. Pretty soon Gareth is gonna have to talk to Valor about Lastai though...))
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 04:53 PM	OOC interestingly enough, Shiro had a run-in with her and managed to get the effects of the pleasure domain permanently...... Great campaign that was.... Still frantically dodging and avoiding outright blocking Valor begins getting more and more comfortable in his armor and his bladework is improving. "Sir, how old are you anyway?"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 04:56 PM	"About sixty-five kid, and that's as old as I'm gonna age. Assuming I don't get myself permanently killed, I'll exist forever." Gareth does something Valor isn't going to expect, mostly because A) he doesn't seem to see Gareth that way and B) Gareth hasn't given any indication that he's gonna do it. Gareth swings his blade forward, high, as a distraction, kicking off into the air with his left foot and driving a knee at Valor's midsection.
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 05:05 PM	Valor takes the hit in the knee and falls flat on his face. after a minute of muffled curses, some of which could make a marrilith smile in delight, Valor gets up and asks "Why'd you do that?"
Golem011 09-22-06, 05:11 PM	Cowardice is now in a sniggering fit...
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 05:11 PM	Gareth chuckles slightly. "Expect the unexpected in combat. A real opponent won't fight honorably, and I never did. Even if you choose to fight that way, you must be prepared for it." ((And Gareth kneed him in the gut...))
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 05:15 PM	OOC Valor jumped a little. yeah, that's it. "You sound like a dwarven teracher now, But I'll remember that."
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 05:19 PM	"Good." Gareth blazes back into his assault.
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 05:24 PM	Valor begins to parry Gareth's blows as well as useing his armor to absorb some hits. Seeing what looks to be an opening, Valor performs a rather sloppy thrust. "How's this?"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 05:26 PM	Gareth sees the thrust, bats it aside, and kicks his student straight in the chest. "Too obvious. Work on your thrusting technique. I can't help you there, but I can loan you my old dummy for it later."
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 05:37 PM	With an audible "OOMPH" Valor takes the hit and skaes his head, clearing the stars before his eyes. He then begins trying to go on the offensive cutting and thrusting fiercely. "I'll get better! Better than even you!"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 05:42 PM	Gareth slides smoothly to the defense. "If you learn as quickly as you have been, that's likely." He parries a blow, and with some imperceptible twitch of his wrist, Valor's arm goes numb. "But an old dog can beat a new one that hasn't learned his tricks."
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 05:54 PM	Arm hanging limply at his side Valor looks at Gareth with excitement and says "How'd you do that? Can I do that?" Valor is not even paying any attention to his noodle arm.
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 05:57 PM	Gareth chuckles a bit. "Yeah, but it takes a bit of custom armor tooling and a LOT of practice. Took me nigh on two decades to get that trick down. What do you say we haul that dummy where you want it and we can work on your thrusting?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 06:14 PM	OOC allusions to chaos anyone? "Sure that'll be fine where is......" Valor looks startled and seems to be worried slightly as he says, "Sir, do you feel that? It's like there's something tearing at my core..." Shaking his head, Valor begins, "Anyway, where is that dummy you were talking about?"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 06:19 PM	A look of mild horror goes across Gareth's face. "Sh*t. I put it in the cellar." Gareth tosses Valor a healing potion. "Drink this. I can't enter the cellar because of the boiler room in it. I don't know how, but some kind of demon dragon got into there awhile back. You'll need to kill it. I'll wait just upstairs. It can't break out, so run if you have to."
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 06:26 PM	Grabbing the potion with his one good arm, Valor pops the top off and slams it back. "Dragons are no problem, I've been taught the best way to deal with them. Pay 'em!"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 06:27 PM	"Valor, the key word here is DEMON. Think for a second, and follow me while you do." Gareth begins walking towards main building.
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 06:50 PM	Frowning and muttering, Valor follows Gareth closely, "Demons are greedy too"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 06:53 PM	"Valor, to a demon, you show up as a paladin. Demons plus paladins equals mortal combat." Gareth begins following a series of red arrows. ((You don't need to RP fighting the dragon if you don't want to, just show the results. Have valor come out bloody and bruised, but with the dummy. Or maybe stagger out in defeat. Or whatever))
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 07:02 PM	OOC I gotta RP the dragon! "Oh, yeah, I forgot about that." Blushing at the thought of it, Valor begins, "That succubus didn't seem to want to kill me."
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 07:07 PM	Gareth keeps following the arrows. "She didn't. She wanted to indulge you in Lastai's particular divine charge so that she could steal your soul and drag you to the Abyss, there to serve the Tanar'i forever."
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 07:16 PM	Looking somewhat confused Valor asks, "Lastai's "Divine Charge?" What are you talking about? I though she was just interested in keeping people happy. How the heck would she have taken my soul anyway?"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 07:19 PM	Gareth looks over at Valor, stunned. "What, you don't know? How old are you kid?"
thecrazyDM 09-22-06, 07:29 PM	Now, looking rather emberased at the discovery of his "title". Ayik(you can call him that.) :embarrass blushes under his mask and says "Ok, so is there any openings or not?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 07:30 PM	OOC can you say innocent dufus? OOC "I'm twenty, why do you ask? What do you mean "don't know" Am i missing something?"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 07:37 PM	Now, looking rather emberased at the discovery of his "title". Ayik(you can call him that.) :embarrass blushes under his mask and says "Ok, so is there any openings or not?" Jaden looks over at the kobold ((Kobold, right?)) "Well, we can have you fight our resident spell-slinger. OI! ENDECA!" Jaden's yell is loud enough that everyone in the building hears it. Endeca perks up. "WHAT?" Jaden responds, "YOU HAVE A MATCH!" "OKAY THEN." "Head out onto the Arena floor, sir." Gareth stops walking. "Listen, kid, and don't interrupt." Gareth delivers *the talk*, including the full story on Lastai's worship and how Succubi steal souls.
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 07:42 PM	Valor looks completly stunned, as in his jaw is lower than should be possible and his eyes are wider than dwarf. [not really, but i love analogies] Shaking his head Valor manages to say a wise "Oh, ok," Blushing like a catholic school girl watching a "Blue" movie, Valor keeps walking.
thecrazyDM 09-22-06, 07:44 PM	(Yah, he's a regular , ordinary kobold. He just happens to be very well trained but, when possible, teams up with another cleric or a monster to train with.) "I'm ready when you are Endeca! Okay, so..." He looks around, then he sees the arena entrance and heads towards it. (I didn't read the entire thread so I dunno who Endeca is. Description on which page?)
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 07:45 PM	Gareth still looks amazed that the kid went that long without knowing ((remember, humans learned at like 10 back then)). "I'm gonna need to have a long talk with Shiro about this amazing lack in your education, Valor." Gareth stops before a dark red door. "Here you go kid. There's enough light to see by, though its a little dim."
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 07:45 PM	(Yah, he's a regular , ordinary kobold. He just happens to be very well trained but, when possible, teams up with another cleric or a monster to train with.) "I'm ready when you are Endeca! Okay, so..." He looks around, then he sees the arena entrance and heads towards it. (I didn't read the entire thread so I dunno who Endeca is. Description on which page?) ((First, I think. Lemme check))
thecrazyDM 09-22-06, 07:53 PM	(Yup first, pnik hair... wow. Even i couldn't think of that.) The kobold walks out and whips out his hammer with unatural speed. He then readies his hammer and ... gets out a holy symbol and begins a blessing chant.
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 07:59 PM	OOC Mind if i take a few liberties with the arena boiler room? This'll take a while too, gotta make it nice and juicy.
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 08:00 PM	((You're supposed to wait for the magic mouth! GAHH! alrighty, I'll assume Knockout match)) Endeca shouts a few unintelligable words, and a line of fire comes streaking towards you at an amazing speed.
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 08:00 PM	OOC Mind if i take a few liberties with the arena boiler room? This'll take a while too, gotta make it nice and juicy. ((go ahead. The boiler is magical, not technological. And the light is low-light, so low-light vision functions :) ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 08:04 PM	Valor looks long and hard at the door. Steeling himself for whatever may lie within and gripping his sunblade tightly, he opens the door to find....... A plain gray hallway that is pretty dark and drab. Valor begins walking down the hallway noticing that it is getting hotter the further he goes in. After about ten minutes of walking, the hallway seems to have changed, the walls seem to be a dark reddish-black color, reminiscent of dried blood. The floor seems slightly sticky and squishy, but otherwise plain enough. As Valor looks at it, faces screaming silently in torment seem to bubble up out of it and then dissapear. "I've got to keep going" Valor keeps walking, and begins to smell brimstone the closer he gets to the end of the hallway. As the smell seems to intensify greatly, Valor comes to the end of the hallway and spies a flat, drab, blackened iron door. Valor looks into himself and extends his sense outwards, looking for signs of evil. All of a sudden, his head reels back and his nose starts bleeding. "By Ayailla's Light! it feels like I've stepped into evil itself." Valor begins a chant to Phieran as he begins to open the door......
thecrazyDM 09-22-06, 08:07 PM	(Aiee! Sorry bout da magic mouth. And, by the way! It's a chant for the blessing of the gods! Not an offensive chant!) "Urghh!" Says Ayik and dodges it throwing his own ball of flaming iron back. "For Hephaestus!"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 08:09 PM	Endeca drops low and slams her hands into the ground. "Earth-Wall!" A wall of stone slides up to intercept the molten iron. ((Doesn't matter. Before anything happens, match types must be declared. Arena rules state no pre-buffs except magic items. Or they will, when I edit the first post again :) ))
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 08:10 PM	((And Fox, you continuing that description or waiting on me?))
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 08:11 PM	OOC I'm breaking it up a bit.
thecrazyDM 09-22-06, 08:16 PM	"Hahhhhh!!!" He says 7 multi sylabbic words that make no sense. His eyes turn blue and glow. Then...his left hand transforms into a dragon claw, and he charges Endeca.
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 08:17 PM	Endeca smiles. "Gotcha!" Her hands still on the ground, she chants quickly ((Quicken Spell)). The ground in front of the kobold turns to lava.
thecrazyDM 09-22-06, 08:22 PM	He skids to a stop."Whoah! Good flame tricks too bad thats crampin my style. Watch my lawyer. He uses big words." He chants slowly and then stamps his foot so hard the ground cracks. "Uthak!" An earthquake shakes the ground so hard the magic wall is destroyed and the lava hole explodes.
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 08:22 PM	OOC more to come.... How is it anyway? As the door opens, the smell of sulfur gets even worse. A booming voice that drips with maliciousness, yells out "Who Are You, Who Would Intrude In My Lair?!?! A Paladin!?!? Prepare To Die!" [and yes, you can hear the capitalizations] As the words are spoken, A beast of huge proportions steps out of the shadows. It seems to be a dragon made entirely out of molten magma, rock, and pure evil. [Half-fiendish pyroclastic dragon anyone?] Without pausing or waiting for anyother words, Valor finishes his chant and charges the dragon. The energies of his spell seem to be flowing into his sword and it begins glowing with a radiant golden light. As Valor gets close enough to the dragon to attack it, it whips a claw out at him missing him by scant inches. "You Can't Hurt ME With Such A Puny Little Weapon" the dragon exclaims. Grinning, Valor drives the balde deep into the dragons side, the blade's holy energies shattering the dragons scales as if they were glass. A gout of blood come out of the dragon, and it roars in pain.
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 08:24 PM	Endeca looks at the jagged faults from the earthquake in terror, and pulls out her signature move; Chaos Dimension. Slamming her hands into the ground again, she cries, "Earth!" A huge, gigantic, tremendous earth elemental erupts from the ground. "Halt that earthquake!" The elemental monolith moves to obey.
thecrazyDM 09-22-06, 08:31 PM	I'm off, might be on later... maybe not. Sorry, I am under pain of death.
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 08:35 PM	Now furious with pain, the dragon pivots, slamming Valor into the wall with its tail, then breathing a massive gout of magma right at him. As the molten rock engulfs him, the ring on his right hand glows and his skin turns into a kind of living steel. Valor charges again at the dragon, seemingly unhurt. He delivers a viscious slash to the dragons face and again, the holy power of the sword pierces it's scales, and pumping rightousness into its brain. The dragon begins to shudder and it falls to the ground with a loud "Thud" that echo's even out to the combatants. As the dragon's breathing stops, the walls and floor begin to change, becoming more and more normal. Twenty minutes later, Valor walks out into the main area of the arena carrying a straw and leather dummy. His armor has a massive dent in it and is thoroughly charred, Valor's face is balckened but already beggining to redden from the burns. "Is this it, sir?"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 08:37 PM	"Yes, Valor. Let's get you a priest before you pass out. Come on, hospital wing is this way." ((That was a classic example of exalted good. He just fought one of the toughest things in the universe...for a training dummy.))
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 08:42 PM	OOC Or an example of lawful stupid syndrome, he coulda just went out and bought one.... Trudging along with Gareth, his armor beggining to crumble and still dragging the dummy, Valor manages to ask "How'd you get a portal to the Nine Hells in your boiler room anyway?"
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 08:47 PM	Gareth shrugs. "No clue. Possibly Endeca's wild castings. Here's hoping your teacher is with the priests, I need to chat with him." ((By the by, the armor won't crumble if you're wearing the plate. The straps might disintegrate, but the armor itself will remain more or less intact until their repairmen get a hold of it. Bards with mending for the win!))
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 08:57 PM	Valor looks happy at the mention of Teacher and says "Do you think he'll be impressed with me?" Shiro, who was talking with an elf, turns and looks at the two men with a smile.
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 09:00 PM	"Shiro, we need to talk about your SERIOUS neglect in teaching your student. Valor, strip the plate off, some of the acolytes of Tempus will take it to the armory." A group of priests begins chanting healing prayers for Valor.
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 09:06 PM	Looking serious now, Shiro asks, "What do we need to talk about? I trust he was respectful and cooperative."
Lord_Gareth 09-22-06, 09:09 PM	"Oh, very. But if you're going to initiate someone into Lastai's worship, it's best to tell 'em the whole story. I had to break it to the kid!"
Foxhengeyokai 09-22-06, 11:12 PM	"Lastai's worship? what are you talking about? I've never brought up the blessed lady's name before. Oh, i remember now, he spent some time training in elysium, that may have been where he got some ideas.... Wait, what did he say happened to him?"
Golem011 09-23-06, 07:29 AM	Cowardice is rocking back and forth on his heels, cackling and sniggering.
thecrazyDM 09-23-06, 07:42 AM	"oh" He stares at the elemental. "Okay, didnt 'spect that. But then again I shouldnt 'ave." He keeps concentrating on the earthquake, trying to overpower the elemental's strength.
Khael 09-23-06, 08:55 AM	"Hmmm, other than the tale of a succubus and compassions whelp, there nothing here... Time to see this hole the others have been lurking in." So saying the cloaked one leaves.
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 09:56 AM	"Lastai's worship? what are you talking about? I've never brought up the blessed lady's name before. Oh, i remember now, he spent some time training in elysium, that may have been where he got some ideas.... Wait, what did he say happened to him?" "Oh, he knew next-to-nothing about the godess of pleasure. I had to explain it to him when he brought up the succubus incident. When I told him that the succubus didn't want to kill him, only "indulge him in Lastai's particular divine charge", he gave me a stare blanker than a feebleminded goblin. Then I had to break it to the kid."
Foxhengeyokai 09-23-06, 10:34 AM	"Oh, I'm sorry you had give him The Talk. I thought he would have learned about that somewhere in elysium after all." With a ruefu smile and a sigh, shiro begins, "The nymphs and the lupinals were always very friendly, so i was hoping they'd have tought him at least a little bit." Sighing again, Shiro looks at Gareth and asks, "Have you ever been engaged? My current betrothed is like a high preist of Hextor, she certainly doesn't want me "associating" with the natives of said plane......"
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 10:38 AM	Gareth nods in understanding. "Bris snared me at knife-point after I engaged myself to her. Woman has an overdeveloped sense of responsibility. Still, if it wasn't for her, I'd still be a death knight, so I should thank her for it. Our anniversery is coming up soon, actually..." Gareth trails off before asking, "Who are you engaged to?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-23-06, 10:39 AM	OOC I haven't quite figured that out yet.....
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 10:42 AM	((Figured WHAT out? Bris and Gareth?)) Gareth turns to Valor, the priests done with their healing. "Follow the yellow arrows to the armory. We've got some smiths that'll fix that up. But, uh, avoid the dragon roost. They'll be a bit angry seeing that armor."
Foxhengeyokai 09-23-06, 10:55 AM	OOC it's a love triangle between Shiro, Courage and Elegance. "I've been engaged to a particularly beautiful member of my species, she is a legendary[IE epic+] shinobi. She's probably still at home, waiting for her mother to finish the marriage decorations. Gareth, why does valor smell like devils blood?" Shiro sighs again. Valor nods to Gareth and begins walking to the armory making sure to avoid the dragon den. he is carrying a slightly scorched straw and leather dummy on his shoulder....
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 10:57 AM	Gareth looks up, mildly startled. "Devil's blood? Oh, yeah, he had to kill a fiend dragon in the cellar for that straw dummy. I woulda done it myself, but the boiler would have rendered me nearly powerless."
thecrazyDM 09-23-06, 11:05 AM	Finally, succumbing to the elemental's greater power, he skids back ten feet and the quake ends. "NOT PART OF THE PLAN!" He says as he backs up warily eyeing the elemental.
Foxhengeyokai 09-23-06, 11:07 AM	"You sent HIM against a fiendish dragon?" Shiro begins to smile and says "I'm glad you taught him how to move in that heavy armor, I doubt even the ironbody ring he's wearing could've stopped a dragons breath on it's own. You have my thanks. What kind of magic drives your boiler?"
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 11:12 AM	Finally, succumbing to the elemental's greater power, he skids back ten feet and the quake ends. "NOT PART OF THE PLAN!" He says as he backs up warily eyeing the elemental. Endeca opens her arms wide. "Air!" A gigantic lightning bolt goes streaking towards the kobold as the monolith lumbers towards him.
thecrazyDM 09-23-06, 11:18 AM	"AIR!?!" He dodges nimbly but still has minor scorches. "Time to summon some aid." He starts trailing his hands and leaving fire behind. "Meet Gordy." A giant celestial-looking bear appears and lumbers towards the elemental, growling.
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 11:36 AM	Endeca continues ((You recognize the Earth and Air bits as being part of one spell, as well as this part. "Fire!" A crack opens in the ground, and lava spews onto the 20 x 20 area.
Foxhengeyokai 09-23-06, 11:38 AM	Shiro looks over towards Gareth and asks, "Who is the young lady hurling around elemental magic? She's easy on the eyes." Sighing again, Shiro says, "Nevermind, elegance would kill me if i were to......"
thecrazyDM 09-23-06, 11:40 AM	(I'll asume that's at me and my bear.) Quickly chanting a shield eupts from the ground over me and Gordy. "My you like flame dontcha. Then try this out for size!" A bolt of magma erupts from my hammer and speeds toward you. Threatening to innterupt the spell before you get to Water.
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 12:11 PM	(I'll asume that's at me and my bear.) Quickly chanting a shield eupts from the ground over me and Gordy. "My you like flame dontcha. Then try this out for size!" A bolt of magma erupts from my hammer and speeds toward you. Threatening to innterupt the spell before you get to Water. ((No, no, that's at the whole section of the arena you're in.)) Endeca grits her teeth, seeing her own chaos turning against her. "Ice!" A cone of cold blasts out, freezing the lava and halting your fire attack (hitting you too, unless you can avoid it).
thecrazyDM 09-23-06, 12:14 PM	THe elemental one-way shield absorbs the attack. "Yikes! You just can't stop usin elements. Well I have something for your goon!" He whips out a black bead and throws it full force at the elemental, hitting it on the forehead and trapping it in a ball of glowing black force. (Unless you do anything.)
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 12:21 PM	((I can't, but here comes the end of the spell)) "CHAOS DIMENSION!" Absolute disorder erups into the arena. Sections of eart transmute into other elements, It literally begins raining cats and dogs. But, most amazing of all, Endeca's pile of junk begins moving, inanimate objects flying to strike you, and the pickled thought eater unleashing psychic attacks upon you. ((I'm out for awhile))
thecrazyDM 09-23-06, 02:56 PM	reeling from the chaos he points his hammer towards her and says "Ok, time to end this! He points the hammer at her at charges, ingnoring the fire, ice, and animated objects. He then as he nears he sends waves of the magma around him lapping towards you in red-hot bolts. Then as he reaches you, he swings him hammer with such force it threatens to KO you.
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 04:38 PM	((Okay, dude, let's list off the junk flying at you: 2 daggers 4 bottles of acid 1 Frost Giant Maul 2 1/2 pieces of chicken 1 monkey's paw 2 dead kittens)) ((Plus powerful psychic attacks from thought eaters.))
Foxhengeyokai 09-23-06, 04:45 PM	Valor begins walking away, looking for a place to set up the straw dummy. Finding a quiet corner, he sets the dummy down and exclaims, "I will call you Cowardice from now on." With the dummy anchored properly, Valor begins practicing his trusts, cuts, and also the occasional kick.
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 04:48 PM	Valor begins walking away, looking for a place to set up the straw dummy. Finding a quiet corner, he sets the dummy down and exclaims, "I will call you Cowardice from now on." With the dummy anchored properly, Valor begins practicing his trusts, cuts, and also the occasional kick. ((Umm... Armor still falling apart?))
Foxhengeyokai 09-23-06, 04:57 PM	OOC I'm getting there. As Valor pivots to deliver a kick to the dummy, a strap disintegrates, and his left greave comes flying off , crashing into the wall. "I guess I better get this armor fixed." Valor sighs, then he begins walking over to the repair center.
thecrazyDM 09-23-06, 05:12 PM	The kobold is knocked down by the debris before e can swing, but the lava erupts towards you, unstopping in it's path. I begin a chant to hephaes tus and hold my hammer up, strenghthening the spell to the point which it is unstoppable.
Azreil Nightshade 09-23-06, 08:21 PM	Ashael leans over the railing watching the battle with slight amusement. His eyes glaze over and he seems to almost shrink in size a bit before he resumes he natural hulking shape and continues on. Azreil meanwhile has a painful scrape on his knee and is absentmindedly poking it feeling the pain and his mouth water from it at the same time.
Lord_Gareth 09-23-06, 10:23 PM	The kobold is knocked down by the debris before e can swing, but the lava erupts towards you, unstopping in it's path. I begin a chant to hephaes tus and hold my hammer up, strenghthening the spell to the point which it is unstoppable. Endeca, still weakened by the great effort of casting her spell, gives a weak laugh. She pulls a wand out from her sleeve and points it at you, whispering a command word. And all sound ceases to exist around you.
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 07:44 AM	Seeing, almost no way to win this battle. But suddenly, hearing how weak his opponent is, Ayik has a daring idea. This will only work if all the card play into the game just right. He begins a slow paced run toward Endeca. He creates a shieldover himself as he leaves the dome of absolute silence.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 10:35 AM	((The spell is Silence 10' Radius, centered on you. It goes where you go. Then again, get close enough to her, and she won't be talking either. Shame you still have to deal with the gigantic flying hammer and psychic attacks from an intellect devourer (also called thought eater).))
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 12:07 PM	OOC: You HAVE to have a dwarven repairman. Valor arrives at the repair center and looks around, seeing the prerequisite forge, anvil and tannery. He also sees the prerequisite dwarf, busily pounding away on what looks to be a new sword blade. "Pardon me sir, but could you please repair my armor? I had a run-in with a devil dragon and it's looking kinda beat up." Without ever stopping the work on hks blade, the dwarf says gruffly, "Of course it's beat up! That tincan you call armor is of elven make. Now if you want armor that will really protect you, i can build you a set worth gracing even a dwarven lord! Go get me that dragons scales and then you'll see what TRUE craftesmenship is like!" Valor looks stunned, and starts, "But, sir, could you just..." "By Moradin's beard lad! I said go get me those dragon scales now!" Valor runs off in search of the dead dragon......
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 12:12 PM	((Well, actually, the repair men are a team of bards with Mending.... :) ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 12:21 PM	OOC Dwarven bards! Who only sing after 12 pints of ale!. Valor comes back to the boiler room door and opens it. The floor and walls are still normal, and Valor walks down the hallway, whistling a tune he picked up in pandaemonium. It reminds one of cats being strangled..... Five minutes later, Valor walks out of the boiler room, dragging a large sack with him.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 12:24 PM	Gareth looks over at Valor dragging the sack. "You know, if you get him drunk, he'll fix the old armor for you. Nothing wrong with elf-wrought armor. Heck, I wear it."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 12:37 PM	Valor looks at Gareth incredulously, "I don't have near enough money to pay for enough ale to get a dwarf drunk!" Besides, I think that this dragon will make decent enough armor, and it'll be sized for me perfectly."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 12:39 PM	"Alrighty then, but dwarf armor is three times heavier than elf-wrought." Gareth turns back to Shiro. "You know, maybe the nymphs woulda educated him, if you'd given him a general idea of how it goes about. They mighta been trying to convince him, but the kid's sort of a dunce, so you can see how he mighta missed out."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 12:46 PM	Shiro sighs and says, "That's what i was hoping for, I just didn't want to have to explain it myself. I do wonder if he woulda gone through with it, even had he know how. I'm sure you saw how he blushes even at the thought of such things. Shiro breaks out into a wide smile and says, "It would have been funny to see what he would do though, wouldn't it? I'd bet twenty platinums that he'd get a nosebleed and pass outy!"
Khael 09-24-06, 12:53 PM	Hunger lets go of Courage, and runs out of the arena (Thus proving he is not guilty of the 'being ruddy stupid act' on two counts), until him passes Gareth and Shiro, "If you want to avoid Courage, she just got here," he wheezes. OOC: The two counts are: Don't be between two other primals/aesthetics when one of those two just slapped the other. If anyone starts moving things randomly, grab someone who's not allied to you. Preferably an ally of the guy doing the moving in fact.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 12:54 PM	((Um...I dropped Hunger into a prison demi-plane on Concordant Opposition....))
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 12:55 PM	Chaos pops into the Arena with Courage at his side in a red puff of smoke. "Compassion! Courage needs to talk to you, now."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 01:00 PM	Shiro looks amused at best and asks, "Courage!, Hunger, Chaos, Why are you all here? I doubt a battle between all of us would be goof for the mulitiverse...." Shiro looks as if he suddenly remembered something and says "Oh uh Courage, I heard that wit was looking for you, last time i saw him he was in the outlands chatting with the uncaring lord."
Khael 09-24-06, 01:01 PM	((Um...I dropped Hunger into a prison demi-plane on Concordant Opposition....)) OOC: You tried. Hunger has the sense needed in such situations, and it said: Grab Courage. He won't leave her. Said sense came in just as they left so either Hunger is trapped with Courage, or outside the arena, having left an angry/scared and definately confused and embarassed Courage (The latter two because Hunger grabbed her putting as much of their actual beings together as possible.) This is a fine example of where RP throws stuff in the works. Hunger looks at Shiro, "Don't blame me, Chaos there decided to bring Courage and try to trap me. Oh and he's dead set on putting you and her together, not fight you. As least beyond a sense of imposing his will on at least one of you."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:03 PM	((Alrighty then. He better run fast though, Chaos is ******.)) "Come on Courage, spill it before I start employing mind control."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 01:08 PM	OOC first time doing sappy stuff, how is it? Courage loks dead on at Shiro and says, "Listen, you pigheaded, insensitive man, I have to tell you something important." Shiro looks at her with what must be love in his eyes and putting a finger to her lips, pulls her close, and whispers, "I know, you don't have to say anything." Courage looks up and sobs, "Why couldn't you just tell me out loud? I just wanted to hear it from you!"
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:10 PM	((don't ask me. This kind of thing is something I typically avoid.)) Chaos and Gareth give each other an identical look. "Women."
Khael 09-24-06, 01:16 PM	OOC: I'm a cynic, so don't ask me on the subject... But if its any help it does read like standard fantasy fare (take that as you will...). Hunger (for once) actually keeps his mouth shut, from behind one of the pillars.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 01:18 PM	OOC Thanks! sarcasm filter off. as long as it doesn't read like a harlequin. OOC Shiro looks down at Courage [remember she's at most three eight, and he is six three] and says "I'm sorry, I just needed time to get the plans straightened out. If you like, the ceremony can commence at any time." Courage's eyes begin to water and she asks, "Ceremony? You mean that your "engagement" was a lie?" Shiro smiles and responds, "Yes it was, after all, it had to be perfect. It's pretty hard getting 3/4 of the aestetics together all at once you know, but i did manage to get them all to pitch in." Turning to everyone else, Shiros proclaims, "Friends, primals, You are all invited to our joyous wedding! it will occur soon, in the fields of Arborea."
Golem011 09-24-06, 01:18 PM	Cowardice chokes over his sniggering fit as the other primals appear.
Khael 09-24-06, 01:21 PM	Hunger hightails it back to the cafe. (He will no doubt say to tell the others. Nothing to do with Chaos. No'sirrie.)
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:23 PM	Chaos looks incredulously at all gathered, and then glares over at Shiro. "Now you owe me twice, punk!"
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 01:24 PM	Shiro frowns slightly "Shoot, I forgot to tell Valor, I'll be right back allright?" Shiro seems to blur as dissapears and a second later he's back, carrying Valor and the sack with relative ease. "Guess what Valor? Your gonna attend my wedding, and who knows? If your lucky you may find someone you like there as well." Valor begins to blush. "Who's going to be your best man, teacher?"
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:25 PM	Gareth looks left and right. "Umm...can I come? I'd need to hitch a ride, our plane-shifter, uh, died, a few years ago..."
Khael 09-24-06, 01:25 PM	"Actually he doesn't. You picked this one up all by yourself." Hunger's voice proclaims. "Who is the minister anyway? Last I heard Law, Good and Evil were being held". This time the voice calls from the other end of the room. OOC: Remember the trick he used the first time? He's using it again to avoid Chaos finding him.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:29 PM	Chaos scowls. "It's still a favor I've done for him. He owes me twice over."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 01:29 PM	Shiro looks at Gareth and says, "Oh, that's right, Do you mind if I open up a temporary portal in here? It should last for a bout 23 years, so it's not too long lived. It'll be one way of course." A little while later, A wolf with Dark brown fur walks in the door.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:30 PM	((You know, hardly anyone has reacted to Chaos's voice(s). Can you imagine what it would sound like when every syllable is a completely different voice than the last? I'm pretty sure young primals and mortals would be wincing in pain every time he talks..))
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:31 PM	GAreth's eyes boggle. "23 years! One-Way? We'd lose half our gladiators to dull-witted curiosity!"
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 01:35 PM	OOC they are just ignoring it, after all, RP knows no bounds! Shiro says "Fine, two way it is. The wolf looks over at Shiro then at Courage and shakes her head. She walks over to Courage and whispers, "I can see what you mean now, as two-leggers go, he's just fuzzy enough to be cute! What's a wedding? Is that like a ritual before mating?" At that, Courage begins blushing and Valor begins laughing hard, at least until Courage shoots a glance at him that's colder than a xixecal's heart. Shiro, who has seen much odder things than talking wolves, asks, "Child of nature, what's your name? "
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:38 PM	Chaos looks around. "Hey, where is this Aborea anyway? Never heard of the place." Chaos takes a bite out of a piece of beef jerky that didn't exist a moment ago. "That reminds me Compassion, I still need to collect on that debt you owe me for that Humanity buisiness."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 01:43 PM	"Sighing mightily, Shiro says, "That debt will get taken care of later. Arborea is in the upper planes and really it's a wonderful place, but i have to ask, are you daft? You and Good collaberated on the creation of the plane after all." The wolf proudly says, "I am Golden-Moon-At-Noon, But you may call me Goldie." Shiro looks down and responds, "It's a pleasure to meet you goldie."
Golem011 09-24-06, 01:44 PM	Cowardice twitches at Chaos' voice, and rocks backwards and forwards. "I'm never *sniff* invited to *sniff* weddings."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:47 PM	"Nah, I collaberated with Good for Olympia. He musta used some leftover power." Chaos looks over at Cowardice. "What is this pathetic creature? Shapechanged rat?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 01:48 PM	Shiro looks over at Cowardice and says sweetly. "I said ALL here are invited, you are here, so you get to come too." "Who are you talking about, Chaos? Goldie here is obviously a wolf."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:51 PM	"I was talking to the sniveling one."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 01:57 PM	"Ah, him. He's a junior primal."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 01:59 PM	"I think he's some kind of rat passing off as one. He can't POSSIBLY be a primal. Shall we go see the plane Good made? I think I might go collect from the him too..."
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 02:21 PM	(magical shield! Still up!) He jumps at Endeca, trying to knock her down and stop her from using any spells. He reaches in his pack and draws out a bead. A red bead. He then throws this at you as he travels through the air. Oh, and guess who you forgot about... "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr" growls Gordy.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 02:35 PM	Endeca grabs something out of her pocket, a small tile. She snaps in in her hands, and an ice storm erupts around the two of you, shards of ice and snow whipping everywhere in a frenzy of blood and pain.
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 02:42 PM	(You forgot the bead.) Even though Ayik is down and trying to dispel the storm, the silence has engulfed you and the bead crashes at your feet throwing fire and debris everywhere. (The shield portects Ayik from the flame. The ice was solid so it went through.)
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 02:46 PM	((I think, at this point, we're both out cold and twitching on the ground :) ))
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 02:52 PM	Ayik, bashed, bruised and cut merely says "I... think it was a draw. Then passes out. (Hey, did Endeca pass out before that or is she still conscious for however long.)
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 02:55 PM	" Fine" WIth a snap of his fingers, A shimmering portal appears in the nearest wall, everyone in the area can feel a sense of ease coming from the other side of it. "After you."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 02:57 PM	Gareth grabs Valor by the back of his neck and walks on through despite the student's protests. Chaos hangs back, saying, "In all likelyhood, me passing through would destroy the portal. The rest of you should go first."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 03:01 PM	OOC: When did valor protest about going to the wedding? Goldie looks to the portal, then to Shiro, and walks on through. Shiro turns to Courage and says, "Once you get there, I'd like you to wait in the Ivory Temple on top of the hill." Courage smiles in recognition of the place and practically floats thorugh the portal. Shiro smiles and walks through as well.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:01 PM	((Yeah, Endeca dropped like a bad habit. There are priests coming out to heal the two of you.))
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:02 PM	OOC: When did valor protest about going to the wedding? Goldie looks to the portal, then to Shiro, and walks on through. Shiro turns to Courage and says, "Once you get there, I'd like you to wait in the Ivory Temple on top of the hill." Courage smiles in recognition of the place and practically floats thorugh the portal. Shiro smiles and walks through as well. ((I figured he'd protest about being held a foot off the ground by the back of his neck)) Chaos follows the others through.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 03:07 PM	OOC more descriptions to come.... How is it? As they pass through the portal, everyone begins to feel a vague sense of peace and a slight happiness that magnifies as they come into the plane fully. You all see a vast expanse of flowers and trees all blooming in their most beautiful fashions. There are the snowflowers of the plane of cold, Pheonix blossoms from the plane of fire, and countless other flowers. Each flower looks as if it grew where it was, just to compliment each other. There are serren trees here too, their leaves are almost shining in an explosion of reds, yellows, and browns. Past the flowers, you all notice that the sky is a blue color so pure, that it makes your soul happy.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:09 PM	Gareth cringes in pain, his grip loosening on Valor. "Gods...it hurts..."
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 03:11 PM	Lets count my injuries. 1. Acid burns. 2. Concussions from giant maul. 3. Mental concussion. 4. Ice shards stuck in my arm and thigh. 5. electricity-caused burns
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 03:12 PM	Valor, managing NOT to crash to the ground, quickly asks Gareth, "Sir! Are you allright? What's wrong?"
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:13 PM	((Yeah...)) Endeca wakes up, groggy and sore, even with the clerical healing. "Ow..."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:14 PM	Valor, managing NOT to crash to the ground, quickly asks Gareth, "Sir! Are you allright? What's wrong?" "Something...burning me..." ((This is what happens when you bring former death knights to planes of ultimate good :) ))
Golem011 09-24-06, 03:18 PM	Fear appears with the sound of a thousand screaming, sobbing voices.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 03:21 PM	After you all take in the sight of the surroundings, you notice a shining building made out of ivory, prominently displayed on its walls is the symbol of the goddes of love, a peach. The building itself is wreathed in even more flowers, as well as a combination of what seem to be floating jewels, flames, spheres of ice so pure that they may as well be crystal, all floating together in a rythmic pattern around the building.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:22 PM	Chaos appears on the other side of the portal. "Hmm...Good must've been running low on my power when he made this place."
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 03:22 PM	Ayik wakes up with a cleric over him. "I guess I didn't win." He gets up and rubs his head. "Ohhh! I feel like that shriveled little psionic thingy is still there."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:25 PM	Endeca begins scooping up her possesions, repairing broken acid flasks with minor cantrips. She replaces their contents with a similar cantrip. "I don't think either of us did."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 03:29 PM	OOC Time to bring in the "little gods" eh? Shiro looks over at Chaos and says, "We've altered the plane somewhat for the wedding. I do love the gifts from the sultan of brass though." Shiro gestures to the pure elements floating around the Temple. The doors to the temple open up and a STUNNING human woman can be seen inside, She's wearing a VERY lowcut dress with a peach prominently displayed over each breast. She runs over to SHiro and gives him a hug. Standing beside her is a handsome young lad, who seems to be her brother he's wearing a simple tunic and he laughs with pure joy at the sight of Shiro and gives him a hug as well, making a Shiro sandwich. Managing to extricate himself from the two, Shiro turns to Gareth, and says, "The burning will stop soon, after all it's just the traces of evil leaving your body. You'll feel many times better soon."
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 03:29 PM	"You were a good opponent Endeca. Very versed in the ways of magic. What is that thing anyway?" he says, pointing at the thought eater. "It certainly makes an impression on the mind... literally." He is still rubbing his forehead.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:36 PM	"You were a good opponent Endeca. Very versed in the ways of magic. What is that thing anyway?" he says, pointing at the thought eater. "It certainly makes an impression on the mind... literally." He is still rubbing his forehead. Endeca straps the thought eater into its harness. "Intellect Devourer. Alive, they eat brains. This one's my familiar. I killed it, pickled it, re-animated it with Chaos Magic and bound it to me. Now it animates whenever I unleash my Chaos Dimension."
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 03:46 PM	"Interesting. Gordy's my... Where is he? Oh, yeah probably just unsummoned himself. He's not ACTUALLY my familiar, just took a liking to me when I visited 'is home plane." He walks toward the exit then looks around and says and says "Okay so where's the room I got."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 03:46 PM	OOC: Interestingly enough, In the campaign Shiro was in, he did know Kharash AND Lastai and Chaav on very good terms. as well as a pheonix named Silvrion, I wonder if he'll make an appearance? From within the ivory temple, A group of tables comes marching out, arranging themselves in a pattern reminiscent of a heart. A similar group of chairs marches with the tables and place themselves in all the right places. A "pop" is heard and what must be a bipedal wolf appears. With a flourish he walks over to Shiro and smiling asks, "So you finally popped the question eh? I guess my daughter just wasn't good enough for you?" Shiro shakes his head and says "Kharash, you know that's not true. I..." Shiro is interrupted by Kharash's laughter "I'm only teasing you."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:47 PM	"Just ask Jaden for a map. She's got an endless supply of idiot-proof maps."
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 03:54 PM	I run over to Jaden and say, "So, can I have one of them maps, I'd like to find my room."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 03:57 PM	Jaden reaches into her pocket and pulls out a map. Endeca staggers back to her room. Gareth stops moaning in pain, but still clutches his side ((You can't expunge every scrap of evil from him, unfortunately, or he'd be destroyed)). Chaos chuckles. "Lastai, long time no see."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 03:58 PM	Shiro looks over to Courage and says, "Lastai here will be seeing to your dress." looking around for any other women, Shiro motions over to Goldie and asks "Would you be so kind as to accompany her?" As best a wolf can, Goldie shrugs and walks into the temple with the other two women. The temple doors are now SEALED shut, at least to any men.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 04:00 PM	Chaos looks over at Shiro. "If you let that one make her dress, your bride will lose any dignity she had, you know that?"
thecrazyDM 09-24-06, 04:03 PM	Ayik takes the map and thanks Jaden. He then walks down the hall toward his room. (Hey, can someone bumb into him as he walks down the hall. Oh, and im off for the night.)
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 04:04 PM	"Um, I know that they both share a certain sense of style that is compeletely different, but I'm sure they can compromise. Besides, Courage could wear a dress made by a drunken grimlock and still look dignified." Valor can be seen chatting with a particularly comely dryad over to the side of the field.... "Hey Gareth, I'll bet you fourteen platinums that Valor over there will start blushing in less than half an hour!"
Golem011 09-24-06, 04:08 PM	"Hmm..." Fear sniffs around. "I think they've gone..." He speaks, and his voice echoes inside the plane. "Can I come? Please?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 04:10 PM	OOC: who are you talking to golem? If it's shiro, you can come right in.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 04:10 PM	"Um, I know that they both share a certain sense of style that is compeletely different, but I'm sure they can compromise. Besides, Courage could wear a dress made by a drunken grimlock and still look dignified." Valor can be seen chatting with a particularly comely dryad over to the side of the field.... "Hey Gareth, I'll bet you fourteen platinums that Valor over there will start blushing in less than half an hour!" Gareth looks over. "I'd bet if I brought my coin purse, but dryads aren't known for that kind of thing. What you really need is a nymph, or better yet, a sylph. Sylphs can only perpetuate their species with human males. Or humanish, I hear they'll go as low as orcs if they're desperate."
Golem011 09-24-06, 04:13 PM	Fear dances. "Come here, Cowardice. We're going to a wedding!" The two disappear with their customary styles.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 04:14 PM	"Ah, but you forget, that particular dryad is tied to a flameloin tree, you know, the tree that has probable been the reason for a large amount chimera's coming into being? It's certainly a potent tree, but as to why it's here, I've no clue. Anyway, I'm at a loss right now, who's going to bear the ring? For that matter, who's going to be my best man? Who said i was trying to get Valor properly "educated" anyway?"
Khael 09-24-06, 04:15 PM	Hunger looks about at the place, "Not bad, but bright much? Since we're guests does this mean we have to wear formal crud?" It's noticable that the metal sheen beneath the cowl robe has gone, leaving well-formed emanicipated fingers visible. "And just who is the minister here anyway? Anyone we don't want to know?"
Golem011 09-24-06, 04:16 PM	Fear steps out of nowhere with a dramatic flourish - slightly spoiled by the screaming effect. Cowardice stumbles out of the air behind him, dribbling slightly and sniffling. "I will!"
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 04:18 PM	Chaos looks up. "Hey, I spent some effort getting this thing going, I think I should carry the damned rings. Besides, I think young Valor over there is going to be busy if that's the tree I think it is. Lastai always was a woman after my own heart.."
Golem011 09-24-06, 04:19 PM	"You'll probably forget what you're doing halfway through..."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 04:22 PM	Chaos flicks his hand up lazily and Cowardice goes through the whole Chaotic nine yards. He passes through every point in the multiverse, becomes every concievable thing, and has anything and everything possible and impossible done to him in a split second. "You were saying?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 04:24 PM	OOC: Feel free to describe the suits. OOC "Well, since you are guests, you must wear formal wear. I've already thought ahead and had a suit prepared for each of you. Please look inside this box" Shiro points to a large box made of pearl. Of course, they won't be requierd until the sun goes down. Until then, please have a seat, and request an item of food or drink, it will appear in frint of you. Oh, I almost forgot, While you may ask for even dwarven spirits, you'll never get drunk during the wedding, after all i couldn't have that spoil anything now could I? "The minister is a great friend of mine, who has gotten me out of tight spots before, and I've helped him as well. He should be arriving any moment now." As soon as Shiro finishes his words, A massive Pheonix drops from the sky and says, "Sorry I'm late, I had trouble getting the hatchlings to bed." Shiro Smiles and says, "Silvrion! It's been a while."
Golem011 09-24-06, 04:26 PM	Cowardice curls up in a foetal ball and moans. Fear sighs. "There was no need to do THAT..."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 04:28 PM	Chaos looks at his suit with disdain. "Ugh, I forgot how orderly weddings are. Well, I dragged myself into this." He takes a bite out of some mystery meat that wasn't there. "And Fear, you should have taught your student some self-control. I just did it for you."
Khael 09-24-06, 04:31 PM	At the sound of 'food' Hunger ambles over and begins summoning up a variable feast of foods and drinks. Which disappears equally swiftly under the cowl...
Golem011 09-24-06, 04:36 PM	"He's hardly my student." Fear pulls out his suit, a dark red one with gold buttons.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 04:36 PM	The sun begins to go down slowly..... Strangely enough, Valor is nowhere to be seen.... Shiro pulls his suit of the box, it's a rather plain black vest and pair of pants, but they compliment his white fur perfectly. Shiro begins walking over to a tree to change, but turns around halfway there, ears twitching. "Hey Gareth, it sounds like you would have won that bet." Shiro snaps his fingers and the suit appears on him, without even a wrinkle.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 04:39 PM	Gareth looks over at Shiro. Chaos pulls on his suit, his old clothing dissolving away. "Told you. Lastai just can't resist things like that. I don't think Valor is gonna show up." ((That was Chaos talking, by the way))
Khael 09-24-06, 04:42 PM	As the sun goes down Hunger, grinning visibly for some 'mysterious' reason, pulls forth a black suit complete with a opera cape and hood.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 04:44 PM	As the sun hits the horizon, it seems to shimmer dor a moment, and the whole sky is lit up by a brilliant purple and red sunset. Looking upwards with a smile, Shiro shakes his head and says, "That old man did a great job with the sunset. He still owes me a favor though. I should have known that Valor would get "disposed," I hold you to blame Gareth."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 04:46 PM	Gareth looks shocked. "Hey, I was helping the kid! What if he'd met another succubus?" Gareth has not suited up, likely because the armor is really hard to get off, what with the layers of ice and all.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 04:54 PM	"Sure, blame the succubi." Shiro snaps his fingers and Gareth's armor begins to shine, any dents, scuffs or otherwise imperfections in it are now gone. Silvrion walks over to the podium and clears his throat, clearly preparing to give a speech. He begins, "All be seated!" Suddenly, The doors of the temple open and out walks a vision of beauty so pure, it could blind a nymph, out walks Courage, wearing a white dress that seems to be made of liquid diamonds, each step taken reflecting a different color of the sunset, behind her, holding her train is Goldie who's clearly different, instead of her usual brown fur, it is a shining gloden color that matches the warmth of the sunset perfectly. Shiro Looks on in absolute awe as Courage walks up to the altar.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 04:56 PM	Chaos and Gareth both breathe out sighs of astonishment. "Damn." Says Gareth "What a vision," intones Chaos. Both are clearly stunned.
Khael 09-24-06, 04:59 PM	Hunger whistles.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:01 PM	OOC Give the ring a nice desription ring bearer! Shiro walks over to the altar. Silvrion says, "Present the ring" Shiro looks on, waiting for the ring to be presented.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:01 PM	((That me or Golem? Ye never picked...))
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:04 PM	OOC I say you.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:10 PM	((BWAHAHA! Chaos is making one up on the spot!)) Chaos solemnly begins walking up the aisle after Courage, holding an empty velvet pillow. Concerned murmers come from the crowd as he continues, before he pauses at the altar. With a sweep of his hand, a pair of rings appear, made of metallic light that bends and swirls in every color. Set into the rings are a pair of prismatic diamonds, flawless and colorful.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:14 PM	OOC I forget the order the ceremoniy goes in! Vows first right?
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:17 PM	((This is a fantasy f***ing wedding, it could go as fast as "Do you?" "Yes" "Do you?" "Yes." "Kiss 'er, give 'em the rings when they're done.")) ((Plus, I don't know jack about weddings...))
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:21 PM	OOC I GOT IT! "We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's most pleasant festivities. The wish to share the union of two people with those of whom they love is as old as time itself. We continue in this most human of traditions by uniting Shiro Kakita and Courage Furiesdottr in marriage, witnessed by this assembly, on this day." "Should there be anyone present who with just cause believes this couple should not be united in marriage, they are encouraged to speak now or forever hold their peace. Shiro and Courage, I ask of you both to remember to offer each other respect, and to remind yourselves often of what brought you here today. Tenderness, gentleness and kindness are the hallmarks of a successful union. When difficulties arise as they will, remember this day. Remember the day you met each other and remember the day you realized that you were in love. Communication, caring, respect and ultimately love should be the hallmark of your commitment. Adhere to this simple advise and you can be assured of lifelong companionship and joy." ?Shiro, do you take Courage as your Wife? On your honour, do you give your word to love, cherish and protect her, forsaking all others and holding only unto her until death do thee part?" "I do" "Courage, do you take Shiro as your Husband? On your honour, do you offer your word to love, cherish and protect him, forsaking all others and holding only unto him until death do thee part?" "I do"
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:23 PM	Chaos looks extremely, EXTREMELY tempted to object, but bites his tongue and avoids giving into himself.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:27 PM	"Shiro, Take your bride's hand and place the ring on her finger." Shiro does so. "Courage, do the same" She does. "Now, by the power vested in me by the multiverse, I pronounce you man, and wife. You may kiss the bride." As the sun begins to fall even further under the horizon, the two are illuminated by a golden light. They each take a step forward, and holding each other in their arms, kiss passionately.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:30 PM	The look of regret on Gareth's face makes anyone looking at him glad his wife isn't around. Chaos finally gives in to his powerful urge to be a smart-a$$. "Well, ain't that just the darndest thing?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:34 PM	Shiro turns to everyone and says, "Thank you all for attending, Chaos,thank you for the rings. Have fun with the food and drinks, we have some business to attend to." Shiro and Courage both begin walking towards the temple..... Valor, his hair all messed up, shows up next to Gareth and asks, "What'd I miss?" Anyone paying attention can see that the pheonix is crying, so are Goldie and Kharash.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:36 PM	Gareth looks over at Valor. "The entire wedding, and the most beautiful three-foot-high woman I've ever seen. What've YOU been doing?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:39 PM	Valor looks rather guilty as a blush comes to his face. "Uh, um, er, uh, nothing? yeah that's it, nothing. I did nothing, but get lost, yeah, i got lost!"
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:40 PM	Gareth looks ar Valor sternly. "Got lost? Within less than a mile of the godess of pleasure, with a dryad connected to a fireloin tree?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:43 PM	OOC I just cracked up, that was golden! Vakor looks at Gareth and says "Yeah, i got lost. you know i have a bad sense of direction. Wait, Lastai is HERE?" Goldie walks over to the two men and asks, "are all of these mating cermonies as pretty as this? If so, I wouldn't having one....."
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:46 PM	Gareth nods at Valor. "Yes, this is where the godess of pleasure lives. I'm pretty sure that dryad just inducted you into her religion officially. Good thing I didn't make that bet with Shiro, I'd owe him plat." He looks over at Goldie. "Ma'am, when you're around Primals, things are bound to be awe-inspiring, one way or another."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:51 PM	Stuttering, Valor says, "I,I,I,I, I have no clue what you're talking about. So, where is teacher right now?" Goldie just shakes her head and says, "Thanks, but you two-leggers are too much, I'm exausted." Goldie walks off into the portal.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:53 PM	"Shiro is off doing the same thing I suspect you of doing, only his is for marriage consumation. You need to have a chat with Lastai, if you can restrain yourself, about the inherant goodness/evilness of sexuality. Go on, scoot." Gareth smiles broadly. "Just don't interrupt if the Godess of Pleasure has decided to pitch in with Shiro and Courage's wedding bed."
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 05:57 PM	OOC That was great. you deserve a :cookie: for that. Valor frowns now, "Restrain myself? Fine, whatever, I'll go talk to her now." Valor almost skips over to the temple.
Lord_Gareth 09-24-06, 05:58 PM	Chaos and Gareth share another identical look. "Teenagers." They walk off to partake of the food and drink. Chaos harasses random party guest with mild changes. One of them suffers a not-so-mild one as all her clothing turns invisible.
Foxhengeyokai 09-24-06, 06:00 PM	OOC Who else was female there? Goldy is a wolf.... and the married couple are "indisposed"

Let's time-skip when we all get back on tomorrow, and we can all have nice chats with ourselves and each other. I'm sure Gareth and Shiro want to know what lessons Valor learned from his encounters with the Dryad and Lastai))

I'm hazy on backstories, but he is about as confused as everyone else about suddenly being conscious, and wants to find out what's going on, as well as finding a role for something so hugely dangerous))
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 09:09 AM	OOC Oblivionsfate, what kinda person do you want to fight? Shiro may be a little too strong, Courage is still in the temple, Valor may be able to fight, and Goldie is available as well. I won't be able to post again until much later today though. OOC Finally coming out of the temple, Shiro seem, to float all the way to the party, trailing closely behind him, looking much the same, is Valor. Shiro looks over to everyone, and says, "Everyone, thank you for attending. I now declare the party officialy over!" With a snap of his fingers, all of the tables, chair, and decorations dissapear slowly. Shiro and Valor then walk thorugh the portal back into the arena.
cog_and_taz 09-25-06, 11:29 AM	((I'd be happy to join in any time, but the fights seem to have stopped...))
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 12:54 PM	OOC: after everyone gets back from the wedding, you should be able to get a decent fight going, or maybe Gareth can use Endeca again? I can't post again for another long while though.
Lord_Gareth 09-25-06, 03:19 PM	((I'm back, but Endeca ain't fighting. I have some backup fighters though :D ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 04:00 PM	Still smiling, Shiro and Valor appear on the other end of the portal, still smiling. Shiro walks over to the desk where Jaden is sitting and notices a large floating orb of color. Having seen odder things, he waves to it and says. "Hello, I am Shiro kakita, And you are?" Valor walks over to where he had left the sack full of dragon skin and begins hauling it towards the cranky dwarven smith....
Lord_Gareth 09-25-06, 04:02 PM	Gareth walks through the portal and freezes a large sign of made of ice in front of it, reading: DO NOT ENTER
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 04:23 PM	OOC the dwarf has an accent! Arriving at the smiths forge, Valor opens up the bag and says loudly "Sir! I have the dragons scales right here."

Put the scales over thar and i'll get to it soon enuf." Valor sets the dragon scale down where he was instructed and asks, "What do you want for payment?" The dwarf gives Valor an evil grin and says, "How bout you tell me what YOU did at that wedding, boy?" Valor begins to blush and manages to stammer out, "F,F,F,Forget about it!" As he begins to leave the room, The dwarf starts bellowing out laughter and says, "I wuz just kiddin boy, i'll do it for free." Valor storms out shaking his head.
thecrazyDM 09-25-06, 06:13 PM	Ayik opens the door to his room. (psst, describe the room to me. It's okay if there is not much, I'll use my spells to make some furniture.)
cog_and_taz 09-25-06, 08:06 PM	The creature doesn't seem able to talk. Instead, you hear a voice in your head: "I... am zur'thash, I hava come for the arena... where is this?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 08:11 PM	Shiro nods over to the telepathic sphere and thinks to it, "This is the right place to be sure, if you wish a bout, you must talk to the lovely woman sitting at the desk, her name is Jaden, and she should be able to set you up with a match.You may want to avoid facing me, i'm known to be quite the mage."
cog_and_taz 09-25-06, 08:24 PM	"...understood." *it focuses on jaden* "how may I join?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 08:33 PM	Valor looks around, to make sure nobody is looking, then tries to sneak through the portal again....... Shiro, nodding again to the Sphere, snaps his fingers and dissapears with a "Pop"
Oblivionsfate 09-25-06, 10:16 PM	((Valor would be fun to fight but based on what I have planed for Cronos Valor won't stand a chance. That is based on his last battle. But sure I'll fight Valor if you don't mind that is.)) Cronos walks up to Shirro and asks, "Do you know where Valor is? I'd like to challenge him to a fight." He drops a couple of platnuim pieces into the tin and signs the consent form.
cog_and_taz 09-25-06, 10:20 PM	The sphere broadcasts his mind-voice-thingy across the area to all the combatants"...so, who wishes to do battle with me...? I assure you all, I will not harm you more than is necessary to end the fight...".
Oblivionsfate 09-25-06, 10:23 PM	Seeing the floating ball and hearing the measage, Cronos says to Shiro, "Hold that thought for a while." Walking over to the sphere he asks, "How about me?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 10:25 PM	OOC You'd be suprised, after his fight with the previous psion, he's take measures to assure victory, as well as now having the blessings of lastai.... by the way, Shiro is is krede's cafe now. OOC Valor, Hearing his name mentioned, pries himself away from the portal and walks over to cronos. "Do you have business with me?"
Oblivionsfate 09-25-06, 10:29 PM	"A fight, so how about we make it the three of us?" Cronos asks of both Valor and the orb. "I don't know about you two but I am certain I can take you both," he says with an air of arrogance.
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 10:33 PM	Valor shakes his head and says, " No thanks. I would prefer only a one-on-one battle if don't mind, and besides, I wouldn't be able to beat this sphere."
Oblivionsfate 09-25-06, 10:36 PM	"Ok well Valor how about a quick bout and then I'll fight the Sphere?" asks Cronos.
cog_and_taz 09-25-06, 10:40 PM	"any will do... I will do my best not to cause you unnecessary harm. When shall we begin?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 10:42 PM	"That's fine, but don't expect it to be too quick." Valor smiles and strolls out onto the arena floor. Calling up the magic mouth, Valor says, "One-on-one match, Knockout" the magic mouth begins a countdown and Valor begins reaching into his pocket....
Oblivionsfate 09-25-06, 10:45 PM	Casting a Quick spell Cronos disapears, ((for those with true seeing he's not there)) and then attacks Valor with so much force the air ripples around his blade. Affter finishing his atack he disapears again only to atack from a different direction with the same force as before.
cog_and_taz 09-25-06, 10:47 PM	zur'thash watches quietly, absorbing what he sees. He seems mildly confused at first about the fight, but quickly learns how it works.
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 10:53 PM	OOC remember when I said "Blessing of lastai"? Valor sees that his opponent isn't there and ignores the attacks, Valor reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small topaz orb. Smiling he throws it to the ground where it shatters, creating an aura of magnification in the entire arena. Still smiling, Valor says, "If you try any psionics or magic in here, you'll have to devote at least twice as much time and energy to each one, that is, unless your power comes from the gods themselves! At this, Valor casts a small spell True Strike and throws a small dagger he pulled from his boot straight at cronos, the blade drives home, sticking into cronos' left arm. "I told you, don't underestimate me!"
Oblivionsfate 09-25-06, 10:56 PM	((I ment his Disappearing act he is moving so fast you can't see him)) Stoping for a moment to remove the dager from his armor, the wound all ready healing, he says, "Really you think a Charm can stop me? Besides I need no more magic to Beat you."
cog_and_taz 09-25-06, 10:58 PM	zur'thash seems disappointed, "why use such complicated techniques when a simple strategy will do? Do they need to rely on such methods for strength?
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 11:03 PM	OOC You gotta be clearer about these kinda things..OOC "You don't need magic eh? We'll see about that" Valor draws his blade with amazing speed, and flicks it towards cronos. Two things happen at once. First, small star like objects flicker out of the tip of the blade, and spped unerringly towards cronos, hitting him and exploding painfullu on contact. Secondly, The sword transfroms back into the scythe he was using in his forst fight. Valor also casts another small spel,l and a brilliant mantle appears on his shoulders, Starmantle! "Let's see what you can do."
Oblivionsfate 09-25-06, 11:12 PM	Not even flinching from the star blast Cronos Plunges his sword into the ground. Activating the rune on the seal 11 other Cronoses appear around Valor. Each Attack at once Slicing through Valors armor like it was butter. ((All of them are real and all are at full strength. By the way this is not a spell but instead a weapons ability)) All 12 Cronos say in unision, "You're not the only one with blessings of a god."
cog_and_taz 09-25-06, 11:18 PM	OOC: Okay, henge is rather powerful, but seriously obliv, stop god-moding everyone.:rolleyes: . The sphere wonders to himself" Am I the only one here who seems cursed? The only one with no purpose, no meaning?" EDIT and OOC: fox, why did val say he can't beat the sphere? He seems really ratehr powerful.
Oblivionsfate 09-25-06, 11:24 PM	((No god-moding here have you read Shiro and Gareth's fight besides this only last for 2 rounds. But I have to get off for tonight so Contunue this tomarrow.))
Foxhengeyokai 09-25-06, 11:34 PM	OOC Last post for me tonight. Sorry.OOC Accepting each slash as a neccesary step in his plan, Each of the swords gets stuck in Valors flesh. A brilliant explosion of platinum energy shoots out and 11 of the swords are obliterated instantly, And ripping a massive hole in the planes in the process. Technically, cronos is the winner, but since he got flung THROUGH the walls of force, and Valor is prolly somewhere in the greatwheel the match may as well be a tie......
cog_and_taz 09-25-06, 11:39 PM	((hmm...okay, thanks.)) Zur'thash watches, seemingly mildly surprised, though it is hard to tell. He seems concerned for a moment, and then leaps into the arena,shouting to the mid of both the combatants"stop! This has gone too far... at this rate, one of you may die. Believe me, there are less important lives out there if one is to be lost, mine to begin with..." ((PS. it's telepathic, but not psionic,ok?))
Foxhengeyokai 09-26-06, 10:30 AM	OOC Valor isn't in the arena, heck he isn't even on the prime material! He can't be killed though, and I'm certain he'll come back in the arena sometime soon.
Khael 09-26-06, 12:31 PM	OOC: Simply put Valor is immortal and indestructible, as long as the traditional 'knight in shining armour' exists. This is because both he and Shiro are members of a specific brand of being (which isn't covered by rules etc. since they were made up by the RP crowd on this board. Not this thread but the board.), beings who each exist as a specific feeling or primal force i.e. Valor, Compassion, Fear, Hunger. As a result as long as creatures have their respective feeling/urge, that Primal/Aesthetic is immortal, and impossible to kill (they can be hurt though.) The above wasn't needed but it saves on you having to wonder why Valor or Shiro simply won't die, if you ever would need to. As to godmodding, what Oblivionsfate was doing doesn't even come into godmodding.
Foxhengeyokai 09-26-06, 06:57 PM	OOC Of course, for the interest of fun and FAIR rp, i'll let Valor lose the match on a technicality, but honestly he couldn't be KILLED. he could however get knocked out. I said that he couldn't beat the Sphere becaus he doesn't have access to the spells needed to bring down a prismatic sphere..." With a slight flash, seemingly less than a second after the explosion. Valor appears back in the arena, looking perfectly unhurt. He smiles and says, "Alternate timestreams, great for resting and other things." Valor speeds for crono and slices yet another clone in half.
LivingShadow 09-27-06, 05:04 PM	(Are you still accepting entrances?)
Foxhengeyokai 09-27-06, 05:08 PM	OOC Your gonna have to PM LordGareth, the arena's a little slow, it seems
cog_and_taz 09-27-06, 06:12 PM	OOC: got it IC: "...understood, it seems that you two are beyond dying from such things."
Oblivionsfate 09-27-06, 06:13 PM	((Sorry I wasn't on Yesterday. I had to help my mom pack for a Trip. But now I am back. Oh and Just so you all know now Cronos has achived Imortality that is He can't be killed permently. See He is tied to the God of Time and as long as there is time there is Cronos. Now that doesn't mean he is more powerfull than the Primals but he lives just as long if not longer.)) Cronos Stands still for a moment to catch his breath and then Resumes his attack. This time he Sits still and Time flows at an Extremly fast pace the effect of the Charm disapears((No one actually precives and change in age but the sun sets and rises ten times)) Then he runs up to Valor and touches his weapon that then disapears((Sent back in time Twenty years, So it is just in the armory but most defently gone from this battle)), after disarming his Oponet he says, "Had enough or shall I Continue?" He only shows a little wearyness.
Foxhengeyokai 09-27-06, 06:26 PM	OOC What "Charm" are you talking about? Valor looks at his now gone weapon, and shakes his head, with a flick of his wrist another scythe appears before him. This one is made of a brilliant indigo energy. "So, you control and alter time eh? Fine then, i'll give you ONE chance to surrender, before I have to take 'measures' " Valor plants his scythe in the ground.
thecrazyDM 09-27-06, 06:28 PM	Hearing the battle, he immediatly shuts the door and runs full speed to the arena. Seeing the two mighty combatants bbattling makes him unaware of the telepathic living spell next to him. He simply says, "Wow!"
Oblivionsfate 09-27-06, 06:40 PM	"Surrender! Why would I ever do that? Even if you can beat me, I can't die. Trust me I've been run through to many times to not know that by now," He says. "But I still haven't brought out the big guns, yet." Touching a blue stone in the hilt of his sword, time stops((For everyone except Cronos, and maybe Gareth and Shiro and the other extremly powerfull Primals but Valor is frozen in time, this is just like the spell time stop)) Runing up to Valor, Cronos cast a spell Creating Force manicles that atatch Valor to the ground by both his feet and his arms preventing his movement after the weapons ablities end. Then he Jumps to about 30ft. above Valor and Cast off a Cone of Cold. He then walks to the 3,6,9, and 12 positions around Valor and casts off at each a different spell, in order Fireball targeting Valor, Lightning bolt also targetting him, Sonic blast((Just like fire ball but sonic damage)) and then an Acidic Bomb((Also just like Fireball but acid damage)). Returning to the palce that he was when he froze time, time resumes its corse with the spells all going off at once((well all except for the Force manacles already in effect before time started back up but others all go off at the same time))
cog_and_taz 09-27-06, 06:46 PM	"...cronos, I now believe this applies to both of you, if neither can possibly even be weakened, this match is pointless... and ofcourse there would be no reason in surrendering.
Oblivionsfate 09-27-06, 06:54 PM	((Cronos Will run out of Juice in a couple of post so no He has to do everything he can in one post. You see he won't run spells but stamina he just pass out in a few post))
thecrazyDM 09-27-06, 06:59 PM	Now realizing there is a floating multicolored sphere next to him, Ayik jumps. "Who are you?"
cog_and_taz 09-27-06, 07:03 PM	"I... am zur'thash, I have come for the arena, and to find a meaning for my existence, who are you...?" ((got it obliv,thanks))
Foxhengeyokai 09-27-06, 07:04 PM	OOC: Are you at least gonna let me use my brilliant strategy? I though how to neutralize cronos without godmoding!
Oblivionsfate 09-27-06, 07:08 PM	((Sure go ahead after you avoid all my spells))
thecrazyDM 09-27-06, 07:19 PM	"Well, that's interesting. I... am still confused. What are you? I am Ayik-Ayik Stormhammer." He is examining you thouroughly.
cog_and_taz 09-27-06, 07:23 PM	"...sometimes, i too, am unsure. I am what most call a 'living spell', A spell that, through some conditions, gains a life of its own. Most still seem mindless despite this condition, and I envy them. It is a terrible thing, to live like this, knowing you have no purpose..."
Foxhengeyokai 09-27-06, 07:35 PM	OOC Valor is at the very least an epic character. so, some choice items are gonna appear. :P 4 cookies to whoever knows what "adoreus" means! The necklace Valor is wearing flares brightly as each spell hits Valor dead on. as they magical energies are unleashed, they seem to go into the necklace and leave Valor unharmed. Valor looks down at the manacles binding his hands and calls out to his scythe "Adoreus!" The scythe springs up, and cuts through the restraints. You had your chance, now you are going to see why i asked you to surrender." Taking Adoreus in hand, Valor pivots and delivers a slash to the air; suddenly, what looks like a rip appears before him and with another slash it explodes, covering the entire fighting area. "This is an area externus tempus, the laws of time simply don't operate here. I, however am a very nice guy, so i'll say it again. Now surrender.
Oblivionsfate 09-27-06, 08:07 PM	"Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Is that why you want me to surrender? The laws of time are enternal, How ever you presive the world no mater where you are there is always time as long as there is preception. So unless you just opened the gate to the void and have such destroyed the entire world, time is still a property that effects everything," he says. "I won't loose to you! Even if I have to chanel him again you will not beat me!" Cronos's body violently spasms, and an otherworldly pressense can be felt in the arena and several hunderd miles in any direction, Cronos' form shifts to that of a truely timeless being as the God of time takes control of his body. "FOOL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. THAT PORTAL IS THE END OF ALL THINGS. INCLUDING YOUR OWN KIND," says the vioce coming form Cronos' exbody. As he speaks everything starts to warp and be sucked into the portal. "SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. LUCKY FOR YOU I CAN STILL RIGHT THIS WRONG HOWEVER I CAN NO LONGER DO THAT ALONE THE FATE OF TIME AND EVERYTHING CONECTED TO IT IS AT DANGER. I CAN FOR NOW ONLY HALT IT'S PROGRESION BUT WITH OUT THE HELP OF ENTIETIES OF MUCH MORE POWER THAN YOUR OWN IT CANNOT BE CLOSED," says the god of time. ((By the way the god of time is divine rank 25 so you would need like 20 shiros to stop this so all the primals should be able to do that but that was a bad mistake. You see if something that is so enternal cannot effect it and can null that effect, it creates something very much like a black hole except this is perment you go through that and your gone forever no matter who you are. Gareth probalbly would be mad at you. At least that what makes sense physics wise.))
Foxhengeyokai 09-27-06, 08:23 PM	OOC: DIVR 25 isn't quite enough, so you get a few SDA's and a big deflection bonus, and some other perks, but, they still have to operate inside of the multiverse. The same cosmic power that makes them gods, ties them to it. The cookie offer still stands! "You make the foolish assumption that i percieve the universe as you would, and likewise, time is merely an invention of YOUR perceptions. If i were to change mine..." Valor's form shifts into a innumerable number of forms, that all seem to hit your mind at once" "Who knows what can happen? This tear, is absolutely nothing, after all, it exists ONLY in this dimension and as such, i can change it, if i need too." Valor smiles and seems to shimmer as he dissapears completely
Oblivionsfate 09-27-06, 08:35 PM	((Time exisites to Valor so there for god of time exist to valor and as long as Valor exist or any primal then he exist and has powers beyond that of any thing in any multiverse. For although time is just a preception if a god represents time it represent that perception there for Valor's age anything that he does that takes any momement or any other possible meausurement time exist there for Valor is wrong. And that my friends is undenialble. Sure you could say that Valor can't presive time but thats would mean that Valor doesn't exist in this world or for that matter any. Meaning that Valor is just an illusion or a projection form the basis of human emotion and if the later is true as I think it is he is subject to the preceptions of all living things. Because of this he is just the same as the God of Time something that is unmeasurable but still there yet still effected by the perceptions of the everyday person and so long as one person presives time in any way Valor is subject to it. That means some thing that nulls the effects of any Perception, Not just physical though, it destroys all perceptions destroying all life that ever existied will exist and does exsit. That portal is the end of all things and Valor maybe able to open it but noone can close it if any thing goes through there for it is truely the end. Sorry if that is a little repetive but Divine rank 25 is Creator god lvl and I use Dicefreaks rules for gods. Well kind of))
Foxhengeyokai 09-27-06, 08:41 PM	OOC Not really, when a person dies, their perception changes, right? Otherwise they'd be kickin around. Time, does not exist in the far realm as such and it certainly exists slightly outside of the multiverse, but still adjacent to it. and I believe i said that Valor operates OUTSIDE of the mulitverse as such and is technically just a projected perception... Getting kinda deep no? Last post tonight.
Oblivionsfate 09-27-06, 09:02 PM	((Yes but I live for agruements like this. Just wondering though why would Valor do something so drastick just to win a fight that would be over in just a few minutes anyways either way It is knock out and yes I know Valor is a primal but where he comes from there has to be life or just raw human emotion so that he can exsits so he is subject to this planes limitations on this plane just as any one else is because he does not have a hand in its creation it is from the plane with which he comes that is created because unless I am way off base here Primals are basic emotion personificide so there for subject to erasing through time but you see every thing presives time down to the very last molecule that makes up Valor. Time is the only eternal. And when it is nulled everything is nulled because to change perception as you said you have to destroy it or alter it's stat but altering everythings state won't change Times power only the destruction of everything making a true void would stop time. So how can anything stop time you maybe able to stop Cronos But time it self is there as long as you are))
Oblivionsfate 09-27-06, 09:04 PM	((Talk to you tomarrow and by the way I don't care if you beat me but if you could keep it in the relms of not destroying everything in the process it would be much aprrecated and using the destruction of every thing as a way to make people surrender is evil, and I thought that Valor was a palidin Last post for me too. See you all tomarrow maybe))
Azreil Nightshade 09-27-06, 10:13 PM	Azreil looks on in blank amazment at the battle while Ashael looks on barely amused smiling.
Foxhengeyokai 09-28-06, 11:52 AM	OOC: NO! You misinderstood the technique entirely:weep: The point of it was to create basically a "Null time zone" in the arena area, I did say it would end in a few minutes anyway. It certainly would not cause harm to anyone in the arena, unless a mortal stepped into it. In which case, they would go irreparably mad from being killed, born and getting younger and older simultaneously. Valor would NEVER do something dishonorable. Anyway, I may have gotten a little carried away with the whole "Outsider" to the multiverse thing, sorry. As for the outcome of this battle.... Let's keep going right after the null timezone ends, and ask the people watching who won. So far, Neither of uf has actually taken a solid hit. Or we could just call it a draw. But pulling the whole "overdeity of time" thing was kinda low.....
LivingShadow 09-28-06, 01:03 PM	((well I guess I'll create a char and wait)) The light dims slightly as Vicros floats in he is wearing black robes and a combonation of crackling energy and shadow swirls around him. "I hear that this is a good test of skill and I would like to test mine"
Lord_Gareth 09-28-06, 04:15 PM	((to clear some things up; As long as he isn't fighting, Gareth is all-powerful inside the arena. He can ignore the wards that prevent fighting inside it and dampen other's power as long as they remain anywhere but the arena floor. If he so chose (which he won't unless you REALLY try to p*ss him off), he can slay anyone and anything within the building at a thought. It took him a lot of money and a lot of wizards to build the enchantments up to this point, but that's how it works. As such, so long as he isn't fighting on the floor, Time Stop won't affect him. However, the moment he steps onto the floor, he has only his natural strength, not the augumentations of the magic. Hope that helps.))
LivingShadow 09-28-06, 04:32 PM	"I see that the management is back. What do I need to do to get a match?" ((oops forgot to give a char history)) ((Vicros is what is known as a nocturnomancer. He is equally powerful in both shadow and arcane magic and can be quite fast when he wants to be. He shows up as lawful neutral))
cog_and_taz 09-28-06, 06:20 PM	Zur'thash turns to "face" vicros, and sends him a message: "I believe one of my strength shall suffice, when do we begin? Those two seem to be taking their time..."
Foxhengeyokai 09-28-06, 07:52 PM	Frowning, Valor turns away and walks to the corner of the room, with the words "Res Novae," The time Null time field ends, and he walks out of the arena, saying "You can have this one, I wouldn't want to harm the multiverse, and besides, these good people are all waiting."
cog_and_taz 09-28-06, 08:18 PM	"so... who shall do battle next?"
Azreil Nightshade 09-28-06, 11:58 PM	Ashael moves forward, his large hulking form moving softly, when shall battle be joined?

Khael 09-29-06, 05:09 AM	OOC: Don't forget, is is possible to have multiple combats on the arena at any given time.

Lord_Gareth 09-29-06, 01:29 PM	((I can't be on regularly, so just make sure your characters sign the waiver and pay the per-battle fee, and oyu can do whatever fights you please. Just remember, don't swing until the Magic Mouth gets everyone's vote on match type.))
Golem011 09-29-06, 01:55 PM	Fear cackles maliciously as he watches Kronos become something else to attempt to beat a Primal...
Azreil Nightshade 09-29-06, 02:38 PM	Ashael stands definatly and asks very politely if anyone would like to challenge him.
LivingShadow 09-29-06, 04:17 PM	turns to zur'thash "Whenever you are ready. I believe a knockout match will be best. Good luck, as you will need it." ((he has some nasty ways of ending a death match)) Levatates a pen and signs the waiver. Levitates 10gp for his fee to where they need to go. ((I'm not on often myself but usually once a day))
cog_and_taz 09-29-06, 08:12 PM	Zur'thash turns to ashael "in a moment... the fight with this one shall not take long..." to vicros ::he pops some multicolored coins out of his body, which fly to the table:: "...I am ready"
SquirrelMortis 09-29-06, 08:38 PM	OOC: Are you still accepting characters?
Foxhengeyokai 09-29-06, 09:25 PM	OOC: Characters are always welcome, and their ARE DIFFERENT ARENA's to fight in, just please give a description of your character, a general power level, and some personality. If you have all of those, you're set!
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 07:02 AM	((Well, zur is in the good~elite category)) "...I do not wish for a fight to the death, there is no point in harming you, A knockout match, however, would be good. Also, leaving the arena or the prime material plane results in an instant loss, understood?"
LivingShadow 09-30-06, 07:10 AM	"Agreed, I won't be planning on leaving." ((Vicros would be elite)) Vicros seems to fade out and fades in at his place in the arena. Shadow seems to form around him creating armor and a shield and his eyes turn black.
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 07:16 AM	The sphere gives a bright flash of color, attempting to blind vicros. It then begins to shimmer with speed and rams itself back and forth into vicros roughly twenty times. ((umm, take a look at the PHB and cry?))
LivingShadow 09-30-06, 07:19 AM	The light doesn't blind him due to his enchanted eyes, and he flys up to avoid the attack ((yes I know that contact with Zur is deadly))
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 07:22 AM	(((that's about the only trick he has... blarg, I are dead!:P )) Zur'thash floats into the air before sniping at vicros with rainbow-colored rays((pris. spray)) and shielding itself with a translucent shimmering globe((invul. globe))
LivingShadow 09-30-06, 07:27 AM	The rays fizzle before they hit Vicros. A rip in reality then appears in front of him and eight shadowy creatures come out they dive right at Zur. ((Shadow elementals))
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 07:41 AM	Zur'thash attempts to destroy the creatures with a flash of light, he then moves over to encapsulate vicros. "...you can leave any time you like, go ahead, it'll make my day..."
LivingShadow 09-30-06, 07:45 AM	"it seems I will need to try harder." The shadow elementals cringe but the light fades soon after. Vicros floats away and casts a spell causing shadow to form a ball around Zur. ((those who have keen senses see that Vicros's shadow moves differently than he does))
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 08:00 AM	((keen senses? You kidding? The senses on this thing, barring smell and taste, are amazing! Also, sorry about the minor FoD breach last post.)) Zur'thash attempts to fly through the wall, knowing the abjurations will protect it, and moves to run through the elementals. "agreed, this is not all I can do either... " The sphere seems to concentrate for a moment, drawing all the surrounding light into itself, before letting it explode out, forming a vast aura of multicolored light around itself which shimmers slightly before showering the surrounding area, arena included, in rainbow-colored rays. You notice that he carefully directs the rays away from the crowd, however. ((sorry it takes me ages in between posts, I'm pretty busy, will be back in approx. one hour, maybe less.))
LivingShadow 09-30-06, 08:06 AM	Vicros creates a wall of shadow over himself that absorbs the light. Zur rolls through the elementals ((incorpreal)). Vicros floats higher and his eyes pulse. Shadows from all over force themselves into Zur weakening him. "We are apparently opposites."
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 08:11 AM	((err... incorporeal? You saying light is corporeal?Oh well...)) "it appears so..." Zur rolls around a little, seeming weakened, before turning itself into a tiny pellet of light that dives into vicros' shadow((concentrated)). ((Is it just me or are you making yourself immune to all of my moves?:weep: ))
LivingShadow 09-30-06, 08:13 AM	((so far all the stuff I am doing is legal, however he is running low on spells, I would guess that after three more he would give up)) The light hits his shadow and does whatever that attack does. ((so far the spell I used were: wall of gloom, flesh fails, tomb of night, army of shadow, innate counterspell, fly, and mask of shadows in reverse order and I acctually hit you just once and that was str damage (and yes he had all of those prepared before we started) )) ((that is it for a while))
SquirrelMortis 09-30-06, 08:41 AM	The Wilted One (Wilt) Male Kiloren Wilt stands a full 6 feet tall, and his green, almost translucent kiloren skin has a few brown spots dappled upon it. He has a slightly stooped posture making him seem shorter han he is. He wears a robe of dark brown silk, decorated at the hem and cuffs with bands of thorns. He almost always has his hood up. These are not the reasons he are called The Wilted One, however. At an early age, he took up the study of necromancy. His people called him an adbomination and drove him from the forest. They say Wilt's eyes can pierce even the darkest shadows, and his cloak hides many eldritch secrets. Some of Wilts strengths are the ability to raise the dead, steal souls, and make himself incorporeal (although these are just few among many). Although Wilt is not a demon, only interested in death and corruption, he is not afraid to kill or betray to get something he needs. Thus on alignment spells, he shows up as Neautral Evil. OOC: That good enough?
Foxhengeyokai 09-30-06, 08:47 AM	OOC: Yeah, that's just perfect, all you need to do is ask one of the lurking combatants for a bout, plop your 10 gold pieces on the registration desk, and declare a match type. Be certain to wait for the magic mouth to announce the beggining of the match. Onle last rule here, and perhaps the most important one.... Have fun!
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 08:50 AM	((alrighty, thanks, by the way, the stuff I'm using is mostly made up:) , by the way, what is the class on this guy?)) The sphere spreads across vicros' shadow, trapping it in a thin shell of light. "opposites, you say? Well... we shall see" Zur expands this time, encapsulating the entire arena before changing color to black, thus shutting off any light at all from the outside((absolute darkness, and I mean absolute)) "black, the absence of light and colour. As a being created from these two things, I cannot keep this up for long. However, there is one thing to my advantage: without light, there can be no shadow..." ((yay, took me a while to come up with a completely original move composed of equal parts darkness and boffoness:D ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-30-06, 08:55 AM	OOC: I think i'll bring in a one shot kinda person an evil woman this time I'm bringing out the BOVD:evillaugh A morbidly gaunt woman walks into the arena on closer inspection, it can be seen that she has a hole in her forehead ; she is wearing a cloak made of what seems to be couatl skin and boots made of lupinal fur. She leans heavily on the staff she carries, which is a smooth shaft of lightweight black metal. She is also wearing a necklace, it has eight small black spheres attached to it. She walks over to the registration desk and pulls out 10 battered looking gold pieces; placing them on Jaden's desk. "My name, is Natashka Millenti, and I would like to apply for a match, perferably of a higher strength kind" Anyone casting detections is one of two things, blind, as she is quite obviously an evil person, or actually stunned.
SquirrelMortis 09-30-06, 08:56 AM	The door to the antichamber swings open and a man walks in, flanked by two hulking Skeletal beings. He surveys his surroundings. "This has to be the right place, doesn't it , my prettys?" Thier skeletal mouths stayed shut. "They never answer," Wilt sighed, a hint of a smile curling his lips. "I suppose we should register, shouldn't we, my necro-babies?" Their boney jaws remained clamped shut. "Undead are no fun..." he grumbled.
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 09:17 AM	((bummer, no one to fight... Oh well, atleast I have a cliffhanger:P . By the way, I'm kinda new to all ths, what do you guys think so far?))
SquirrelMortis 09-30-06, 09:18 AM	((Challenge me, oops, nvm)) Wilt sighs in frustration and eyes the strange macabre woman at the far end of the chamber. He muses weather or not to sic his skeletal henchman upon her. He decides it would be best not to, yet.
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 09:31 AM	((naw, if yer on the same skill level, feel free to hop in:) ))
Foxhengeyokai 09-30-06, 11:34 AM	Looking over at the man acompanied by two skeletons, Natashka walks over and with a voice that seems to drip with cruelty, asks "You seem capable enough, perhaps you would like to sacrifice, er, I mean challenge me?"
SquirrelMortis 09-30-06, 12:30 PM	Wilt lowered his hood, showing his green kiloren face. "Perhaps, but as of yet, I would prefer that you used the great and all powerful magic word, Please." He smiled and thanked nature for his great gift of making people irritant. If you couldn't make people like you, make them hate you. Its almost as good and quite better for practicing Necromany and other black magic. "Then I may just 'sacrifice' my self."
Foxhengeyokai 09-30-06, 12:35 PM	Natashka looks at the kiloren for a minute, and says, "Please enter the arena with me. I think a standard knock out match should do fine, after all..." Natashka smiles evily "It gives me SO much more satisfaction to leave an opponent alive, that i may harm him again..."
SquirrelMortis 09-30-06, 01:07 PM	"I'd hate to derpive you of such satisfaction," smirked Wilt. "Shall we enter the arena now, or will we wait till I have a beard thicker than you skull?"
Foxhengeyokai 09-30-06, 01:27 PM	"Very well then, let's move onto the floor and get this started." Natashka walks onto the arena floor, while leaning on her staff, and waits for the magic mouth to say "go" A minute later, the words "GO!" Are cried out and you see natashka say a word and move her hand, then all goes utterly black, you also hear what sounds like something shattering....
SquirrelMortis 09-30-06, 01:32 PM	Wilt for a moment was phased. He could not see a thing! then he remembered. He muttered a few words and a gigantic ephemeral eye appeared, obscuring his face. "That's better," he sighed. He then moved like lightning, sending out a bolt of sickly green energy, triggering a Necrotic Burst inside her arm. Her skin and muscle bubbled in horrifying rythm, while she sees to skeletons advancing on her, greataxes drawn.
Foxhengeyokai 09-30-06, 01:38 PM	Shivering with pleasure at the pain of the necrotic burst, Natashka throws two bolts of darkness from her staff, they strike the skeletons and drive them back, at least for now. A horrid roar is heard and a ragged gash appears on wilts shoulder, barely missing his neck as the blade-like beak of a vrock tears through his flesh. Natashka can be seen chanting a spell....
Golem011 09-30-06, 01:44 PM	Fear disappears with his trademark screaming voices.
Foxhengeyokai 09-30-06, 01:47 PM	With the final words of the spell, a large hand appears in front of her, protecting her from any attacks. It seems to be made of razors and constantly drips a bizzare liquid.
SquirrelMortis 09-30-06, 01:57 PM	Wilt smiles. "Futile attempts, futile attempts." Wilts's form suddenly becomes misty and insubstanial and he soars straights though the razor shield diving into her body through her mouth. He emerges a few seconds later, cluthcing a shriveled up black pod. "Your soul is mine..." he hisses.
Foxhengeyokai 09-30-06, 02:02 PM	Natashka smiles and asks, "Is that thing supposed to be mine? Poor child, i haven't had a soul for many years now. It's currently on loan to a certain diablolical man." Natashka begins laughing insanely and casts a certain spell. "INCORPOREAL NOVA! Waves of destrictive energy ripple out and either force wilt into corporeal form, or destroying him entirely.
SquirrelMortis 09-30-06, 02:09 PM	The waves bounce off him. "You power is great, but underdeveloped." he hefted the shriveled pod. "This isn't your soul, it is your soul cavity. If I fill your cavity with this," a golden light spread into the pod. "Or as some know it positive energy," he continued. "Then your evil powers are simply POOF! Gone." Wilt smiled and tossed the shriveled pod away, into some infulx in the time-space continuem. He sent down a hail of necromantically powerful thorns, and they bit deep into his opponents flesh.
Foxhengeyokai 09-30-06, 02:17 PM	OOC: Last post of mine for today. Natashka is still smiling from the pain, and manages to pull a small rock out of her boot, it's center seems to move as it begins pulsing somewhat like a heart and waves of black energy begin filling her body, clearly restoring her powers and making them even stronger. With a snap of her fingers, a huge fist appears above wilt and slams down with obscene force, driving him into the ground. Forceful FIst of Spite!
LivingShadow 09-30-06, 04:33 PM	"black, the absence of light and colour. As a being created from these two things, I cannot keep this up for long. However, there is one thing to my advantage: without light, there can be no shadow..." "On that you are wrong. Shadow is not the absence of light but the presence of darkness. Therefore it is eternal!" Shadows slash at Zur trying to tear him to shreds. ((I think this ends it.)) ((Vicros is a shadowcaster/wizard/nocturmoancer. Probibly in the elite rank. He specializes in shadow, ice, and electricity)) ((err... incorporeal? You saying light is corporeal?Oh well...)) ((shadow elementals are incorpreal. See tome of magic. And since Zur is an ooze he goes through them. sorry about the late explanation))
thecrazyDM 09-30-06, 05:02 PM	After watching the fights for a while and relaxing, he looks around. "Well, guess if everyone else is doin it I might as well." He walks up to Jaden and asks, "Hey, do you know anybody I could fight?"
cog_and_taz 09-30-06, 07:10 PM	((got it, thanks, your mage needs a physics lesson about shadows:P )) "I see, these are no ordinary shadows, in that case..." The shadows slash through zur, making gaps in the light for a moment, but are affected by the deadly touch of the sphere. Zur turns momentarily back to his normal colors, before filling the arena with the sound of a chant. Soon, the sun begins to eclipse and zur'thash begins to flash with a supernatural blinding light.(he's still covering the arena by the way) The entire arena begins to turn white as the sun itself is channeled into the sphere. "I'm going to have some explaining to do to pelor..." ((don't worry, he doesn't show it, but he will go down soon, basically, this is his last move))
LivingShadow 10-01-06, 07:07 AM	((got it, thanks, your mage needs a physics lesson about shadows )) ((No apparentlly you do, see tome of magic. And now for the finale.)) Vicros casts a spell (again his shadow moves differently) he reaches to zur's shadow (even if there isn't one it still works) and tries to pull it away from his body. ((by the this is the second stongest attack (consume essence) he has the first being the one he just used (ephermal storm) ))
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 07:16 AM	((with a budget of 10$/year and not even that for the last 3 years, I don't ahve anything besides core and ECS, also, I wasn't thinking crunch, just logic plus some imagination, didn't realize there was so much crunch here, sorry:weep: )) "...hated and cursed by the gods, as always. Curse boccob, why am I even here?" With that final thought passing through its mind, the sphere vanishes, leaving only a tiny pellet of pure light and color in its place. "...I salute your strength. Please, remove me from the arena, I will return to my normal form in a moment, just leave me in the sunlight..." You seem to hear some mumbling in the background "look pelor, you've given me more than enough trouble already during what, for want of a better word, I will call my life. It's not my fault you decided I'm some holy avatar of yours! Honestly, it was necessary and I have enough trouble as is from boccob, stop pestering me!" ((anyone else want a match? Or maybe a rematch shadow? I'm bumping this guy down to good~great, it's probably more accurate.))
LivingShadow 10-01-06, 07:19 AM	((with a budget of 10$/year and not even that for the last 3 years, I don't ahve anything besides core and ECS, also, I wasn't thinking crunch, just logic plus some imagination, didn't realize there was so much crunch here, sorry )) ((That's okay you are not the first to assume that. Besides think about it when you did that attack that made the arena go dark that was your shadow. And with no light how do you think the plane of shadow exists.)) "You put up a good fight Zur. You may want a few lessons on shadow though." ((I think you would still fall into elite. Think what would happen if you faced a fighter. A rematch sounds good but I'll let you try someone else first.))
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 07:24 AM	((Doh! Right, all I thought of was "boffo attack yay!", I didn't really think about it. Ofcourse, I could call it supernatural darkness.)) "...thank you, as for shadow, well... you may have noticed, but pelor is enough of a thorn in my side as is, I wouldn't want to upset the idiot any further..." ((yes I realize he talks to pelor like he does to anyone else, it's intentional.))
LivingShadow 10-01-06, 07:30 AM	((He could still manupulate magic darkness. Besides I picked shadow magic for two reasons 1. it's cool 2. most don't know how to deal with it.)) "I meant to try to learn about your enemy first."
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 07:33 AM	"hmm, good point, I would appreciate any ideas you might have, you seem to be quite the master with these things..." Zur'thash, having grown back to full size by this point, turns bright red with annoyance "look, know your enemy, okay? So that means you can keep your speech about divinity, righteousness and all that other stuff somewhere very far away, starting NOW". "well then, I could use a lesson, how about a rematch?" ((read: I are hugely bored :P))
LivingShadow 10-01-06, 07:37 AM	"Sounds good. However my strategy may change. And remember I can affect you even if you rid yourself of your shadow. I believe knockout again would suffice." floats another 10gp to pay
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 07:51 AM	*tosses in a radiant coin* "that's worth a couple hundred, so don't bother complaining". "yes, knockout would suffice..." Immediately, zur'thash flies sky high into the air, gathering more and more energy from the sun and growing in size as he gets closer to it. "I believe we established last time that leaving the arena vertically didn't count?" After going roughly 300m up into the air, the sphere comes crashing back down, approximately 25 metres across in diameter. "Look pelor, I need to concentrate, STOP COMPLAINING!"
LivingShadow 10-01-06, 07:54 AM	Vicros dodges to the side and casts a spell. Ice razors grow out of the ground where Zur will land. ((that is the best I can come up with.))
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 07:58 AM	As zur approaches the ground, he turns scarlet(treat all effects as fused into insane fire damage), melting through the ice ((By the way, do you have any idea how easy it is to dodge a rainbow meteor 25m in diameter?)) "...hmm, good one, that won't cut it forever though..." The sphere begins to spray beams of many-colored light all around the arena, before concentrating them into one deadly beam, aimed not at vicros, but at his shadow. "see what I mean?" ((this guy is good~great, have mercy :P))
LivingShadow 10-01-06, 08:03 AM	((Yes i know it is hard but considering how high you were I think I would have enough time.)) ((If he acctually made it)) Vicros casts another spell and a ring of electricity forms around him. He also moves away from zur. ((That's it until for a while.))
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 08:08 AM	((what do you mean? If he made what?)) "hmm, a mighty opponent as always... this will require some special methods... " Zur attacks himself with his own ray, petrifying itself somehwat, it then rolls toward vicros, confident that its skin of stone will shield it against the electricity. ((By the way, what do you think so far? How am I doing? I haven't done this before, so I'm rather worried about messing up.))
shandiris 10-01-06, 08:16 AM	As the battle rages, A black robed figure 6ft tall appears out of nothing his hood revealing only darkness, (shadow mask spell), he ignores everything and just watches the fight. Divinations would reveal: LE, abberation, and that he appeared out of nothing trough a invisibilty spell.
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 08:24 AM	Wilt suddenly appears out of the shadows, flanked now by hulking troll zombies. He takes off his hood, revealing his fey Killoren face. "Mind if I sit with you? It's rather lonely having only my undead monstrosities for company."
shandiris 10-01-06, 08:29 AM	You feel a detect thoughts being cast on you as Shan turns around to you. OOC: what do i find in your thoughts?
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 08:38 AM	OOC: In my thoughts, I have several necromantical equations, a burning hatred of my own species, and no ill intentions for your character. BIC: "Well," he says, tapping the staff covered in thorns that he always carries. I haven't got all day. I simply needed to consult you for one of my evil plans that's all."
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 08:40 AM	(Hey, is there anyone in the arena at the "great" level who is not in a fight.)Ayik looks back and sees the undead. He shudders involuntarily and walks over to watch the fight and watches the blinding light coming from zur'thash without blinking, as he was trained for a few years on the elemental plane of fire.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 08:42 AM	((Bored out of my mind, I'd love to, but I'm in a fight... By the way, seems like a whole lot of the crowd's attention is coming my way!:D))
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 08:46 AM	(Well, at the current time it seems like nothing else is happening and only a few are online so your fight is naturally the main attraction.)
shandiris 10-01-06, 08:49 AM	Shan sends a telepathic message to Wilt, saying: And what would that be......? He then turns to Ayik using his detect thoughts on him.
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 08:51 AM	Wilt sends a message back. "Turns out, theres an ancient catacomb under the arena. If I could just get to it, I, or I should say, we would have an army at our disposal. A never tiring undead army. Hows that for an offer, eh?"
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 08:52 AM	You feel a mental barrier but see in his mind anger against evil and you see a bit of his past. You see a black dragon flying overhead, acid- burned kobold corpses, destroyed buildings. He then glares at you.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 08:57 AM	((God, I'm so bored... am I allowed to have more than one character?))
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 08:58 AM	((CrazyDM, what alignment is your character?))
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 09:01 AM	(I believe yes, golem has two for one thing.) Ayik says telepathically"I would prefer if you did not invade on my personal thoughts!" Chaotic Good to you!
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:04 AM	((Crap, are we the only evil people on this thread *starts gasping*;)) Wilt twirls his staff. "Hey, now I can hear both of your thoughts. This is... interesting," he says in his mind to both of the other people in the telepathic triangle.
shandiris 10-01-06, 09:06 AM	Message back to Wilt: It's hardly an army compared to what certain individuals i know have at their disposal. ................ However what do you offer for my help?
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:07 AM	A small kobold walks into the arena, riding on an unnaturally large weasel and holding a sword, plus a hefty looking lance for his size. He comes to the registration desk and rummages around in his bag, before removing a few gold pieces from it and plopping it on the table. He rides over to the seats and sits down "whew, these seats are huge! Mind you, most of you people are too... so, how's it going?" By the way, CG kobold knight(largely a title and fighting style)/psionic something or the other.
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 09:07 AM	Ayik covers his face with his hand. "Oh great hooked up mentally to scheming evil hooligans."
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:10 AM	The kobold looks up from his mount and squeaks " Evil eh? Well, no worries now that I'm here to save all of you big people! So, who wants a duel?" ((power level is undecided, but I'll adjust, and please bear with me, this guy is not supposed to be ultra-serious))
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:10 AM	Wilt ignores Ayik's snide comment. "Why, you would be co-general of the army, as well as me. For every man woman, or child we kill, we'd have another soldier. A limitless army of undead! It would just take a while. And I will soon tell you what you need to do for help..." He then turns to the little kobold. "I will challenge you."
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 09:11 AM	He then turns and sees the kobold. All linked up to him see he is experiencing sadness aanxiety and curiosity all at the same time.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:13 AM	The ratty kinght projects his thoughts into both minds" 'scuse me! There's a knight here and I can hear your thoughts if I feel like it, so pipe down with the schemin' will ya!" Turning to ayik: "and by the way, the name is skraal weaselheart". ((no, the FF8 resemblance was disastrous and unintended:twitch: )) "Well then, I've already paid, bring it on!" He steps into the arena "come on, you tree zombie!"
shandiris 10-01-06, 09:14 AM	Message to Ayik: I can do with your thoughts what i wish! Message to Wilt: Hmm you will hear my answer. He then turns to the kobold and scans his thoughts.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:16 AM	Shan is momentarily stunned by a shield before hearing "bugger off and stay away from my thoughts!"
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:17 AM	Wilt waits. Then the magic mouth cries out... GO! He speaks a command in rapid sylvan and his two troll zombies both bodly slam the little kobold, attempting to smother him.
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 09:18 AM	"Try" He grins deviously a wall of mental flame breaks the connection and you see that he is NOT going to be reconnected any time soon. (to kobold.) "Hello, I am Ayik Ayik Stormhammer. Where do you come from?" (Wait, do you mean me that you challenge???)
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:19 AM	Skraal impales one of the zombies on his lance and throws it towards the wall " Take that!" He then concentrates and a glowing red nimbus(fire) materializes around the weasel's fangs which bite into the leg of the second zombie. "is that all, compost?" To ayik's mind he says: "eastern plains, my tribe doesn't like me a whole lot, so I got shipped out to this place, did me a world of good as you can see... Now if you'll excuse me, I'm trying not to get brained by some compost mage" *laughs*
shandiris 10-01-06, 09:21 AM	Suddenly Shan utters a word and vanishes, and the knight feels his mind being blasted, (mind blast) (mount is blasted too) "Try" He grins deviously a wall of mental flame breaks the connection and you see that he is NOT going to be reconnected any time soon. (to kobold.) "Hello, I am Ayik Ayik Stormhammer. Where do you come from?" (Wait, do you mean me that you challenge???) Breaks what connection, and what recconection?
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:21 AM	"No, while you were preparing your witty comments, I was doing something... useful." He fires out a cloud a green cloud which descends over the kobold. You feel your muscles weaken, and your fine motor skills collapse. "The beauty of disease..."
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:23 AM	((mind being blasted eh? How original...)) The kobold reels back from the blow momentarily, he then locates shar with his mind's eye, dropping a berserk weasel((astral construct)) on him. " Don't push, wait in line, there's enough for everyone!" He grins and turns back to the task at hand (God I love this character!:D )
shandiris 10-01-06, 09:25 AM	((mind being blasted eh? How original...)) The kobold reels back from the blow momentarily, he then locates shar with his mind's eye, dropping a berserk weasel((astral construct)) on him. " Don't push, wait in line, there's enough for everyone!" He grins and turns back to the task at hand (God I love this character!:D ) Umm what exactly are the consequences of a astral construct dropped on me?
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:25 AM	The kobold seems weakened and nearly falls off his mount, concentrating for a moment, he drives the cloud away, and attempts to cure himself. He whispers to the weasel "keep him away for a while won't ya?" And dismounts. ((no falling damage, it's not exactly ON you anyway, just a figre of speech. Anyways, you now have a very angry weasel trying to gnaw your foot off, that's all:P))
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 09:26 AM	Ayik sits back and watches the fight. He is twirling an iron dagger that wasnt there a moment ago. He then clenches his fist and it dissapears. (minor creation and ring of storing.)
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 09:26 AM	(oops sorry erroer on my coputer sorry!) (Mental connection to be specific)
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:27 AM	My two Troll Zombies lumber forward and pummel the weasel with their great clubs. Meanwhile Wilt sends out a clammy mist (kelgores grave mist) that chills his opponents weakened body and makes him even more fatigued.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:30 AM	He seems rather badly clobbered by the blows but manages to get up. "whew, got some nasty tricks, haven't ya? I'm still strong enough for this though..." He bathes himself in a white glow, curing himself of most of the weakening effects but not all. He then implaes both trolls on his lance and smacks wilt on the head with their combined weight, simultaneously slashing at him with his longsword, which floats out of its sheathe, seemingly acting of its own accord.
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:32 AM	Acting with inhuman reflexes, Wilt flies high in the air, dodging both blows and turning incorporeal as he goes. "Anything else," he sneers pulling out an ethereal wand of fire ball and firing three times in a row at the kobold and his weaselly companion
shandiris 10-01-06, 09:34 AM	Shan quickly dimension doors onto a seat and sits back, sending a message to wilt, If you can't handle this on your own you do not deserve my buisness.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:34 AM	"yep, don't think some rotten tree-hugger can take me so easily!" He envelops the fireballs in a globe of water , both dissipate in a massive cloud of steam. He then mounts up and begins to focus, attempting to bring wilt back down to the ground. ((not god-moding or anything am I?))
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:35 AM	he sends a message back to Shan: Then you will be the first to fall to my legion. It will be a shame. You would have played you role well... ooc: Believe me, I have seem gmodding in my day, and some person simply said he could eat my superpowers! It was crazy, and as of yet, we sort of are both gmodding... bic: "Lets give you something you can't dodge..." Wilt sends a wave a of horrifying fears into Kraal's mind, while he is simultaneously sending down a cloud kill spell...
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:37 AM	Skraal relinquishes his focus on wilt, trying instead to crash the trolls into him again, while the sword flies up to meet them both. ((Sorry, I'll cut it out, no more curing here. Also, I don't mind losing, bear that in mind.))
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:40 AM	((I don't mind losing either... it looks like this is a stalemate ;)) Wilt mutters a few strange words and he turns incorporeal. The blade and his zombies flie threw him. Wilt hisses and dives forward, drawing out a black bladed scimitar, and waiting for his cloudkill to it's job.
shandiris 10-01-06, 09:40 AM	So be it says he to wilt, as you feel a finger of death cast upon you. (still invisibile by the way.)
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:40 AM	(( not yet though! Enough OOC chat, lets get on with the battle!:) )) ((by the way shan, range of "touch" on FoD, but nevermind)) "aw come on, be a sport and give me a turn first!" The lizard directs his sword to block the ray, and his weapon promptly turns to dust. He immediately creates a new blade of light in the air that flies toward wilt.
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 09:41 AM	(Nothing personal but Ayik has marked you both as evil scheming masterminds that will need to be stopped) Ayik thinks for a while and then plane shifts somewhere else.
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:43 AM	my dear shan: he messages: after all these years, you can't honestly think I AM STILL ALIVE! He begins hacking swiftly at Kraal, who is still enveloped in fear and cloudkill.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:44 AM	The tiny kobold dodges or deflects most of the blows, but still recieves some nasty gashes across the face. "scars eh? Remind me to faint after the match."((cookie to anyone who recognizes the quote.)) Skraal sends a message to ayik "no worries, these two are killing eachother anyway. So, where are you at? This plane isn't fun enough eh?" He then invokes a whirlwind around himself, not dispelling the fear effect, but dispersing the cloud. To shan's mind: "A wasted effort on both sides eh?"
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 09:47 AM	((I have to go, here's my last post)) Wilt suddenly looks up at the sky, realizing it is dusk. "Aha, my plan shall commence in precisely 12 hours then." He waves at the kobold. "Goodbye Kraal, It will be a shame when I kill you. You were such a wonderful opponent." And then Wilt dissipates into nothingness.
shandiris 10-01-06, 09:48 AM	Shan plane shifts away too uttering, i will be back for your brains.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:49 AM	"bah, twelve hours? I have time, besides, who would think I don't know the crypt where my ancestors are buried? Honestly, so much for secret..." He follows shan to his plain: "here's an idea, how 'bout I make it easier on you and come after you?" He then takes a slash at him. (( a lil confusion, brains? What is shan?))
shandiris 10-01-06, 09:50 AM	Suddenly your mind is blasted once again.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:52 AM	"pah! A psion like me, and you think you can pull the same party trick twice? For shame, can't you do better?" He attempts to run shan through with his lance.
shandiris 10-01-06, 09:55 AM	Umm hang on a sec here. I need to figure out wich of you two im fighting now. Ok sorry cog and taz, wilt followed me so he's first. We're on the astral plane a quickened undeath to dead after wich i dimension door a lot of feet away.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:56 AM	((lol, okay, wilt ported out, and I followed you to whatever plane you went to. Besides, the obvious "I am capt. megabanter" should kinda alert you to which it is :D))
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 09:59 AM	A telepathic message comes, "I teleported to the benign library on Elysium to check out this catacomb. I believe it holds the sword of Kas or did."
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:01 AM	"hmm? My tribe's elders are buried down there, and I never heard of any sword, weird... Remind me, why was it that I'm trying to save all of you big people when two out of three that I met immediately tried to kill me?" ((quickened undeath to dead? What do you mean? Also, yer forgetting that the astral plane is a playground for psionic chaps.))
shandiris 10-01-06, 10:02 AM	Umm as soon the kobold appears i cast a finger of death on him (its close range not touch) ((quickened undeath to dead? What do you mean? Also, yer forgetting that the astral plane is a playground for psionic chaps.)) See dm guide astral plane description.
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:05 AM	"Capital duh. (Yes I know it was lowercase:D ) Come on! Now I know this is also weird but there is a cleric friend of mine down there, or at least there was a year ago."
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:06 AM	((thought it was mind blast, not FoD? Also, evil or not, try to stop randomly slaughtering characters...:weep: Oh well, who am I to talk? I'm pretty pathetic..)) The kobold attempts to parry the blow but fails and is hit in the leg with a black ray. He screams in anguish, but does not quite die. " You're gonna pay for that, believe me" Skraal then gallops after shan, trying desperately to catch up, while holding a newly materialized tower shield in front of him. He seems to move with a supernatural speed, it almost seems as if the plain itself is helping him. " Sorry to hear it, well, I have plenty of time to stop him, so long as I don't get killed by this here shan, care to help?" (don't have the DMG on hand, what is the deal with it? I don't think the astral plane is lethal...))
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:11 AM	A loud thwip and a bloodcurdling yell report that Ayik has returned. "Ah love the ethereal plane... It always inspires the FIRE WITHIN!" Fire erupts from his eyes his hands his toes his feet his arms his face his chest...etc. He instantly morphs into an elder fire elemental. I like dramatic effects.
shandiris 10-01-06, 10:12 AM	Umm randomly you sort off taunted me :P and i don't like people following me. Suddenly Shan grows in size and he reveals his hood showing a mind flayer head, and his muscles grow. You can cast one quickened spell or spell like ability a round in the astral plane for free.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:13 AM	"woah, you're quite the showoff aren't ya? Look, we have a psion on the run who likes to take over or destroy a world every afternoon, he is also trying to kill me, so help me out will you? Anything to patch me up would be good, I don't think burns are what I need right now." (((ohhhh, thanks for the details shan. Also, this guy is captain banter all around and in case you didn't realize, he doesn't like you:P)) "sheesh, I never saw an octopus on legs before, can I stab it?" He then aims his lance at shan's head and charges. He also conjures up a spiked helmet on his head((anti-brain drain))
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:16 AM	"Oh so youre a mindflayer huh!" His eyes flare his white heat(psst he still has his armor and hammer equipped. They upsized and are heat resistan.) He leaps at you attempting to bring you within thew living fire that is composing his body.
shandiris 10-01-06, 10:18 AM	Shan takes a mighty blow to the head, And then he disentegrates your precious helm and then he lashes his 4 tentacles at your head and attaches 2 with his sucking power.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:20 AM	((read up on ze helmet:P thanks for finally getting hit though:) )) The tentacles slap him in the face. Skraal utters some blissfully unintelligeble curses and tries to hack the tentacles off. As he does this, he attempts to drop a cage of pure energy(no plane shift in there) on shan. "quick, gerroffhim and heal me won't ya?"
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:23 AM	(Psst while im an elemental I dont have a substantial brain.Too bad for yu) Ignoring the negative enrgy even though it sucks away some of his life he smashes the flayer so hard he flys several feet. 17 to be exact. He also heals skraal wit a quickened cure serious wounds spell.
shandiris 10-01-06, 10:25 AM	OOC: perhaps i should have cast control undead instead of undead to dead :P Umm i'm attacking the little kobold not you.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:26 AM	"damn it! You're just too dim to hear me aren't ya? Well, it's just me I guess, as always. Still, that helped." He then notices the lack of his helm, or rather, its replacement with a minute amount of dust. "sheesh, can't leave one piece of equipment intact, can you? At the rate that I'm replacing the stuff with energy, I'm gonna be naked when I leave this plane!" He leaps into the air, still on his faithful mount, and plunges down onto shan, lance and fang(respectively) first.
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:27 AM	(Well, still I heal im' and smack you. Just wanted to remind you I wont be brain eatan)
shandiris 10-01-06, 10:29 AM	I take another blow, attach my last 2 tentacles on your head and cast a vampiric touch on you. you being the kobold
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:32 AM	Seeing all tentacles attached he realizes that this is only the prelude for the little kobold. He immediately shoots a jet of molten metal at the illithids tentacles.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:33 AM	Skraal feels his mind being sucked away and shouts "No dammit! That's the last thing you're taking, and from my cold, dead paws at that!" He swings wildly, trying to cut atleast one tentacle off, you see some half-formed constructs and images dance around you as his mind goes wild. Various near-broken sharp objects try to cut the tentacles off.. but to no avail. (you decide if his sword makes it, but I rather you didn't kill him.) ((by the way, what did you mean by only the prelude?))
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:36 AM	(your Brains Gonna Be Eatenthats What Prelude Is!)
shandiris 10-01-06, 10:37 AM	OK one of my tentacles falls of due to the fire, I cast a quickened fire shield, and reattach the last tentacle once again.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:37 AM	((doh, right, I realize that. Just didn't get the wording, sorry!)) "WHICH PART OF NOT EATING MY MIND DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!" With that, both his sword and head begin to glow with a brilliant light. Seeing what is happening, the weasel runs off to the back of the illithid, attempting to bite it. As the animal runs away, skraal((TRANSFORMS INTO pun-pun! Nah...)) brings his sword down on the illithid's head, releasing a brilliant nova of pure energy.
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:40 AM	(Does fire shield protect from giant hammers:D ) Quite accordingly the hammer slams down on the tentacles and he also slams a fist into your chest. (No fire damage but bludgeoning!)
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:41 AM	((Aw come one, be a sport and respect the freedom of destiny thingy, don't auto-hit..))
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:42 AM	(I'm off for now probly gunna be on later.)
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:43 AM	((alrighty, shan will be more than happy to make you go unconcious:D ))
shandiris 10-01-06, 10:45 AM	OOC a fire elemental is pure fire there is no blud dmg Using a quickened limited wish he wishes the cage of energy away, and plane shifts.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:47 AM	Mounting the weasel again, the tiny lizard plane shifts along with the illithid "ho hum, where's this crazy illithid gonna take me this time?", and appears right above it, falling down lance first. Sure enough, his shield has now vanished. "didn't I tell you you were going to pay? Sheesh, you guys think that just 'cause you're bigger than I am, you don't have to listen, don't you?" ((by the way, the HAMMER was blud dmg, but feel free to remove it))
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 10:50 AM	(Sorry bout that delay. Oh an shan look in the Monster manual at the elemental entry.) Ayik unmorphs. And follos the others.
shandiris 10-01-06, 10:53 AM	OOC Ouch for yoou :P You find yourself in the underdark right next to the room where the elder brain of the mindflayer capital on the material plane is. As you fall on me with your lance, i take a deep wound on the head and then cast a dimensional anchor on you. If you can read my telepathy somehow you also hear me call every mind flayer in 100 ft to me.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:58 AM	"aagh, cheater! Damn you, shan!" He swings around in a circle with his sword, creating a whirlwind of energy and attempting to dispel the anchor(pleeeeeeease let me terminate it:tantrum: :bigeyes: )) "honestly shan, muchas I hate your guts, I thought you were better than this..." ((wow, that was incredibly harsh >_<, sorry bout being so persistent, but my character isn't the giving up type. Also, as soon as valor hears 'bout this, he'll mushroom cloud the entire underdark with that kinda strength...))

SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 11:20 AM	Suddenly, there is a noise like a horrid plunger, and Wilt appears in the mindflayer capital, grasping a strangely glowing red crystal. "I'm pretty sure you and you brain eating friends weren't expecting this!" An army of vampiric Githyanki appear behind Wilt. "Go my friends, kill your hated enemies!"
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 11:22 AM	((err... wow, nice fix but... holy crap.)) As wilt appears, skraal muses to himself" well... atleast that's a whole lot less to fight..." and deftly smashes his lance into the monstrosity((wilt, that is, the vegetable monstrosity.)). ((shan, are you editing those posts of yours or will it stay a massive C/P job?))
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 11:32 AM	Wilt looks down at the lance in his chest as his army of vampiric githyanki streams at the illithid forces. "That's all nice and well Kraal," hisses Wilt as he pulls the lance out of his chest. "But I am on your side. This idiot mind flayer could ruin everything! Whaddya say, temporary alliance," finishes Wilt with a grin.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 11:35 AM	Sighing, the kobold nods weakly. "fine, I appreciate the help. It's only temporary, mind you..." He tears the lance out, making a horrid "splortch" sound. "ugh, this stinks!" He then grapples the illithid to the ground and attempts to teleport back to the arena. " and by the way, the name's skraal, skraal weaselheart(no, I do not have black hair, motorbikes OR gunblades, so stop it! :P)) "By the way... do I want to know where you got those vampires?" ((Bummer, shan is gone, minor gmodding[seeing as he can port away any time again] coming up!)) He grabs the illithid ad ayik and teleports back to the arena, setting them both to the ground. "knockout match, remember?" He grins slightly, and collapses to the ground. His weasel sniffs at him, seeming quite worried.
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 11:38 AM	Wilt sighs. "Well, normally I would've stayed and raised an army of the dead mind flayers, but, later I suppose. I have a force of Githyanki and a catacomb to raid. Just one zombie!" He hastily raises a dead mindflayer and teleports back to the arena, his army of undead githyanki still attempting to annhilate the mind flayer forces. "I got these courtesy of the Githyanki lich queen. She doesn't know I have these, but still, it's nice of her not to lend me these, isn't it."
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 11:42 AM	" I think a new word is in order wilt... necromaniac, you just have to have those zombies, don't ya? I think I'm gonna pass out now, haven't got the time for dying... just try not to get any more zombies while I'm out, and be sure to wake me up before you go off to raise your undead army..." with that and a smile, he passes out. ((Wow, I know I said it already but I LOVE skraal, wilt is fairly cool too:D . Oh , and I probably need to go soon.))
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 11:46 AM	((Why thank you :embarrass, and don't go too soon. I don't want to be alone :allalone:)) "Ah, he's passed out," said Wilt hinting annoyance. "Which gives me time aplenty to do THIS!!!" Wilt conjures up an acidic green pickaxe and begings to dig a hole in the middle of the arena. 'Catacombs here... I... comm OOF! Hard work'n all," said Wilt to no one in particular. His mindflayer zombie stood a few paces away, digging with his tentacles. "Wonder how my army is doing," he grumbled. "I'll need them in a tad."
LivingShadow 10-01-06, 11:46 AM	((I'm back here is the basic info for shadow magic http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20060303a&page=5, and here is info for the prc http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20060303a&page=6)) "Heh it seems I will have to leave my specialty for this one." Vicros floats up to dodge the attack and casts another spell. All the stone on Zur turns to lava as does the floor for around him. Meanwhile the ring hurls 2 lightning blots at Zur. ((I'd been saving that one. By the way that wasn't half as nasty as what I could have done. For creativeness and power you are doing great cog and taz))
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 11:56 AM	Soon, Wllt has dug a huge hole. "Haha, Mindflayers, Githyanki, and humanoids oh my. Aha, I'm so clever." He begins giggling feebly, and then laughing maniacally. "My army will be great *hic*."
thecrazyDM 10-01-06, 12:06 PM	"What type of undead are you Wilt?" He is eyeing the vampires with contempt and his hand is twitching at his side toward his hammer. (Sorry misconception of time and space sorry.) Ayik plane shifts to the arena floor.
Khael 10-01-06, 12:20 PM	"Dear lords, you lot do like to make a racket don't you?", Hunger observes, "And as for those catacombs...What makes you think certain...fail-safes weren't in place if you try anything down there?"
shandiris 10-01-06, 01:25 PM	Wilt you were sort of really dead on the astral plane but whatever we'l ignore that. It's very stupid to think that all vampiric githyanki could beat all mindflayers. Also I assume you killed all arena personel since they would resist this. And is shan dead now or not?
SquirrelMortis 10-01-06, 01:31 PM	"What type of undead am I? I've never really thought about that," said Wilt with a puzzled expression. "I suppose I'm an entirely new type of undead, as I show I don't show up in any records."
Foxhengeyokai 10-01-06, 01:41 PM	OOC: What the heck happened here!? BIC: Natashka shakes her head and disapears in a poof of noxious smoke.

Foxhengeyokai 10-01-06, 04:20 PM	OOC: I see. Um, okay then. Valor can bee seen walking towards Jadens' desk. Anyone that has seen him before will note that he is wearing a shiny, black, brown, and red suit of plate armor that seems to be made of dragon hide. Smiling, he asks her, "Have you seen Bad Lung lately? I finally finished enough of my training to have a good chance now."
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 06:16 PM	((nopey, just subdued. I HAD to show off with the knockout match line:D )) Skraal wakes up with a grunt and looks at the two diggers. "oi! I told you to wait! Now come on, be a decent sport will ya?" With a word he replaces the earth, burying the hole. "look, we don't want a hole in the arena now, do we? I have some family buried down there, don'cha think there's a more normal way? Put your zombie away and go find it if you're so keen on it!" ((sorry everyone, we were all bored and got... a bit carried away :( ))
chimp man 10-01-06, 06:36 PM	sudenly an icy wind sweeps through the lobby then with a crack the door spilts in two as a large humanoid steps through crakin the door frame "were do I sign up" asks the voice menacingly. "My name is Bufo Bufo the 37463 And my name means toad wich i look like you inferior mortal".
Foxhengeyokai 10-01-06, 06:44 PM	Valor looks over to the newcomer that looks like a toad and says, "You realize that door you just broke is worth far more than your hide?" Valor shivers at the thought "Gareth is going to be very upset with you, and I hope that you've had a nice chat with a preist recently...." Valor trails off

Foxhengeyokai 10-01-06, 08:43 PM	OOC: While anyone that can make a Jade empire reference automatically gets a bit of respect from me, I gotta say the following If the character is talking, put the speech inside "these."

"If you wish to sign up for a battle, you must place ten gold pieces onto this beautiful woman's desk" Valor nods towards Jaden's desk. Also, You'll need to state your relative power level. Of course, you could pay all the money in the planes and not be able to fight here, after all you need an opponent. I may be convinced to join in battle with you. If, that is, you can convince me of your worth."
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:39 PM	Skraal patches himself up and walks up to the toad demon "well, pay up and I'll give you a decent fight. Ready when you are, froggy. Also, show these people some respect. If you don't, I could stab you and valor could probably replace the whole arena with a crater, so watch your mouth." with that, Skraal makes his trademark reptilian grin.
Foxhengeyokai 10-01-06, 09:45 PM	Valor looks hurt, "Me? replace the arena with a crater? Never! I'm no mage, just a simple warrior of the little gods. Replaceing the amphibian here with a smoking hole on the other hand...."
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:48 PM	"Yeah yeah, call it what you will, what I meant was you had that kinda power.

And I don't mean me, I'm the safer one." He grins again, bearing all of his yellow teeth.
Foxhengeyokai 10-01-06, 09:50 PM	"As a kobold, I have to ask, do you get a lot of flak in towns and such?"
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 09:52 PM	"Me? Ol' lizardboy the knight? You bet! Mind you, the way I look, and being alone and all that, I have to fight biscuits off more than swords, so I suppose I'm better off. There's always the overrighteous paladin though. Honestly, it never crosses their mind that if I were evil, they'd be in a pit full of alchemist's fire with me pointing a sword at them by that stage" He shakes his head sadly.
cog_and_taz 10-01-06, 10:19 PM	Zur's newly attained lava shell blocks out the lightning, and the sphere flies off to shake away the lave. "nice try, but that won't cut it."

LivingShadow 10-02-06, 02:14 PM	"That was a distraction." Vicros conjures a sword out of the air and smashes it on the ground. The broken sword disapears and a sword of darkness appears in the air in front of him. The sword then slashes at Zur.
chimp man 10-02-06, 04:45 PM	"bufo bufo a sladd how trivial"laughs bufo bufo. I am an oni. and i sense something strong here. no, two things one of fire and one of ice. ice has something disturbing about it and fire i sense a past he wishes not to reveal. maybe i should not fight yet or better yet wait for him to come then you will need me at full strength. wait for he is coming.
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 04:57 PM	OOC: Finally, I get to show of my OA nerdage! Valor looks puzzled for a moment then says, "An oni, you mean those guys from the shadowlands? Strange, you don't look too much like either me-zu, Go-zu, Akuma, Or kyoso-no-oni.You must be a kind that I've never heard of before. Regardless, if you want a fight, I guess I could accomodate you, if you aren't too scared, that is." Valor looks bufo over and says, "Come on, it'll be fun."
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 06:38 PM	Skraal steps over to the oni: " 'scuse me valor, who's frog are you taking?" He glances over at wilt" Fancy another match? I can wait until after your picnic."
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 06:43 PM	Valor motions over to bufo and says "I'm talking about this tsunogaeru-oni here, to me, he's a frog, regardless of how he was born or made."
SquirrelMortis 10-02-06, 06:46 PM	"Not yet Skraal, I'm too tired," says Wilt. He then gives a big fake yawn. "Fights with you are just t-t-t-too b-boring," he says with another yawn.
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 06:53 PM	"*sigh* suit yourself wilt. Not like I don't have better things to do than chucking zombies around." He turns to valor"yes yes, I know. I was just wondering if I could get a duel in first, nevermind." "so, anyone up for a match?"
SquirrelMortis 10-02-06, 06:55 PM	((I think I'll make a new character. You can face him))
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 06:56 PM	((yay okay:) ))
SquirrelMortis 10-02-06, 07:01 PM	A tall figure strides in. He wears lusterous gold plate armor and carries an beautiful sword, apparently made of crystal. He was a handsome face, with high cheekbones and short cropped brown hair. Tucked under his arm is a lustrous gold helmet that looks like a face. "Wael wael, I see a wee kobold lad, awl alone." The man takes a moment to sweep back his hair. "Aw am called Amars, Captain Amars." ((Oops, gotta go! BYE!))
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 07:07 PM	((bye))
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 07:21 PM	Valor turns to skrall and asks, You want a match eh? All right then, how about you and I join together in the dance of steel?"
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 07:22 PM	"sure, I'm nowhere near your league though." ((be back soon))
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 07:27 PM	OOC: 5 cookies to whoever can tell what "Adoreus" means! Valor looks suprised and says "Don't worry, I promise I won't use any of the powers that are beyond mortals in our fight. Likewise, I'll avoid using Adoreus." Valor walks onto the arena floor and summons a shining longsword.
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 07:32 PM	((I'll get to google later :P )) "tha's more like it. Well, better start than!" Skraal mounts his weasel, draws the lance, and levitates. EDIT: is it a band?
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 07:41 PM	OOC: Nah, it's latin Valor unsheathes his blade, holding it in a defensive stance. Valro begins to chant, and holds out his left hand, after speaking an unintellegable word it begins to crackle with a green energy. "Come then!"
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 07:45 PM	Skraal's lance takes on a dull red glow. Suddenly, the levitation effect disappears, sending the kobold and his mount plummeting down onto valor, lance first. He lands safely, and takes a slash at valor's sword arm.
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 07:50 PM	Valor quickly moves his hand to intercept the lance, while it does manage to penetrate the gauntlet, and cutting a big hole in his hand, at the contact with the glove, Skrall's lance rusts into pieces. Valors other hand begins to glow with a white light and he places his other hand over the wound, it closes up instantly. While all this is happening, he turns to place a kick in the weasle's snout. "Sorry about the lance, I can fix it later!"
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 07:59 PM	Skraal is stunned momentarily and topples over from the kick. "No problem, so can I."With that, a new lance of energy appears"it won't be the same, but it beats nothing. Say, where do you get those gloves?". He closes his eyes and mutters a few words, causing a wall of pure energy to appear in the air, right above valor's head. "remember, hair of the dog for headaches, though it might not work for this one", he grins.
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 08:04 PM	Valor looks at the wall carefully, then, from with in his armor pulls out a small brown stick. Touching it to the wall, the wall dissapears and the stick disintegrates. With his left hand, Valor pulls a small light blue dagger from a boot sheath and launches it towards skrall's chest. "Try this!"
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 08:08 PM	Skraal stares at the remains of his wall in shock, but snaps back in time to dodge the dagger... mostly. It hits him in the arm as he jumps away."sheesh, that hurts! Say, I think my weasel is hungry...." With that, he grins mischievously and casts an illusiojn on valor, making him appear to be a side of meat, and a large one at that."dig in, sharptooth! It's dinner time!" he sends a message to valor's mind: "nothing personal, you know."
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 08:16 PM	OOC" It's kinda refreshing to play all rules legal, after all I have yet to depart from normal magic items and abilities! "No problem, and I love the school of illusion, you've got some class." As the knife hits Skrall, it explodes, raining down razor sharp shards of ice everywhere. One of them manages to graze valors' cheek dwaring a thin line of blood. "That item is a litte dangerous, but nobody expects the explosion!" Valor Takes a swing at the weasle with his longsword, pivoting to attempt a kick at the same time.
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 08:26 PM	"right, right, you got me with that sword, sure enough." He raises his hand and valor's foot is weighted down to the ground, surrounded by solid flame. He swings at valor, attempting to parry the blow. "say... what do you think of armor spikes? I hope you like them..." with that, valor's armor begins to grow spikes, ones going inward((i.e. growing from the inside of the armor and into valor.)) "ouch, that looks bad, sorry".
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 08:35 PM	OOC: What about the explosion? Oh yeah, Ouchies. Breathing heavy and dripping blood from a few places, Valor finishes that chant he was working on earlier, and a small star appears above his head, it begins to shoot out rays of dadly searing heat. "That, hurt a bit." Valor pulls another knife from his boot and hurls this one at Skrall, while at the same time turing his sword wrist to deliver a thrust to skralls stomach.
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 08:40 PM	Skraal judges the blow to the stomach to be the worse of the two, and parries with the sword. At the same time, a blue shield appears before him, flying of its own accord, and attempts to block the rays.The sword shatters against his knee, showering sparks and ice all around."whew, I can see this isn't going to last long, eh valor? Ofcourse, no one said I can't try..." With that, the lance begins to glow with a pale purple light((force, not any particular element)), and flies towards valor's chest while spinning. ((fox, you there?))
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 09:02 PM	OOC: I'll assume the knife hit As the knife drives itself into Skrall's left hip. it unleashes a wave of energy that seems to take something vital out of the air/ That lance dissapears just before it slams into Valor's chest. "That was far too close for comfort" Valor reaches into his armor again and pulls out a pair of plain black knives. With flick of the wrists they're brought into a fighting stance. Valor begins to spin, his knives tracing a deadly tornado of steel across the arena. "Teacher has tought me many things, you see"
chimp man 10-02-06, 09:04 PM	"okay ill sign up" "name bufo bufo the 4763" "power upwards of great or very low elite. i fight using a style of kung-fu,liado,prraying mantis,wing chun,and a style of my own caled [Ilao pun fu go cao[/I].

"That was far too close for comfort" Valor reaches into his armor again and pulls out a pair of plain black knives. With flick of the wrists they're brought into a fighting stance. Valor begins to spin, his knives tracing a deadly tornado of steel across the arena. "Teacher has tought me many things, you see" ((umm, I described it hitting in my post:confused: .)) "what? another lance gone? Ah well..." He sees valor spinning around the arena as he gets back to his feet,"wha... wow, how do you do that? Better get out of the way..." he levitates roughly 10 feet into the air, and whips a rattling bag full of beads from his pocket. "say... ever heard of a bead of force? This is what happens with ten of them." he throws it and tries to fly to the other side of the arena to avoid the explosion, calling out to gareth: "don't worry, I'll fix it later!"
Foxhengeyokai 10-02-06, 09:21 PM	OOC: YOu did? Valor smiles as the beads come down at him, He quickly speaks the word "Nullsecorum!" and they hit the floor resulting in a deadly, thud sound, they don't explode or for that matter do anything. As Skrall falls to the ground with a thud, Valor says "You should have removed that anti-magic-field dagger!" Valor quickly runs to the beads and crushes them beneath his heels. Valor then speeds towards Skrall again, knives twisting like a tornado of death. OOC: I'll post again in an hour or so, bear with me okay?
cog_and_taz 10-02-06, 09:31 PM	Skraal judges the blow to the stomach to be the worse of the two, and parries with the sword. At the same time, a blue shield appears before him, flying of its own accord, and attempts to block the rays.The sword shatters against his knee, showering sparks and ice all around ((^that.)) "well well, what do you know? I forgot all about anti-magic, all the sorcerers back at home hate it, so I haven't seen one in...oh, twenty years?Nicely done." With a word, a lance reappears in his hand, this time made of adamantine, and he blocks the path of the sword with it, attempting to break it and stop the anti-magic field. With his other hand he fishes a decanter off his belt and unstoppers it. Immediately, red liquid and flames gush out of it. "you know those decanters with water coming out endlessly? This is the same, 'cept with alchemist's fire, I sure hope you can get your equipment put back together later..." ((by the way fox, 9 hours and counting... you just changed the definition of hour, congrats:P ))
SquirrelMortis 10-02-06, 09:50 PM	Captain Amars and Wilt sit by eachother in the stands, watching the fight. "I d'nae understand how this is entertainment," Amars says to Wilt. "Don't we all," say Wilt, gritting his teeth noisily. "Naow, if Ah were faghting, tha' would be entertainment!" Wilt hides his face in his hands, quietly thinking up ways to shut up this talkative man in golden armor.
Foxhengeyokai 10-03-06, 10:07 AM	OOC: Circumstances beyond my control, I'm afraid. Sorry. I was talking about the NON-EXPLOSIVE KNIFE. Last post for at least 8 hours. The admanatine lance strikes the knife, shattering it into two pieces. From within the knife, a small glob of jelly squirts out and lands on skrall armored knee. it slowly begins to suck any and all magic out of the surounding area [shrunk down living AMF spell] As that's all happenening valor closes the distance between himself and krall and begins to attack, both knives twisting in and out of reach until all at once they come in a blinding fast arc, one slashing high, another thrusting low.
cog_and_taz 10-03-06, 10:19 AM	((fair enough and congratulations on having a life)) "woah! What on earth is THIS critter?" As valor steps closer, the ground beneath him gives way, and he falls into a pool of black lotus extract. "Yeah, I know, knights stick to honor n all that, but seriously, it's not my fault I'm a kobold."((in case you don't know, that was a preset trap, not magical in any way.)) He grins and sits down on his weasel, attempting to tear the ooze off his knee. "and by the way, this is for you,"he says, and tosses in a flask of alchemist's fire."don't worry, if you fall over and drown or somethin, I'll fish ya out"
LivingShadow 10-03-06, 01:29 PM	((Just to remind cog and taz of my last move)) "That was a distraction." Vicros conjures a sword out of the air and smashes it on the ground. The broken sword disapears and a sword of darkness appears in the air in front of him. The sword then slashes at Zur.
Foxhengeyokai 10-03-06, 04:00 PM	OOC:Black lotus extract eh? as in physical paralysis? Sneaky. And, what's even better, I'm all rules legal! Valor falls into the poison with a loud "splat." Easily ignoring the sticky black goo, he looks upwards just in time to see the vial coming towards his face. Jerking his head to the side, the flask misses and instead crashes into the wall behind him; which sends a large glob of burning goo onto Valor's back. "You'd be suprised what swearing an oath to the gods can do for you. Forgoing alcohol and caffeine also has it's benifits, I haven't been affected by posion for quite a while now." stabbing his knives into the walls, Valor manages to climb up out of the pit. "You sneaky, egg hatching, scaly...."
SquirrelMortis 10-03-06, 04:17 PM	"I'll fight ye," said Amars to Wilt. "If I win, will you promise to shut your overused highland mouth[/I," roared Wilt in exasperation. "Sure," said Amars. And so Wilt and Amars both tramp out onto to one of the fields. The magic mouth cries out "GO!" Amars moves with lightning speed lashing out at Wilt with his blade, which is glowing with white fire. Wilt dodges aside, although the blade sends his staff spinning from his hand. Amars continues his assault. [I]His blade is like lightning though Wilt.
Golem011 10-03-06, 04:58 PM	"Gods, that Slaadi stinks. And it's ugly. And it doesn't know its betters..." [OOC] Ah, Jade Empire. The chances you give for laughing at Slaadi...
cog_and_taz 10-03-06, 06:44 PM	"Honestly... calm down!" As valor comes out of the bit, skraal's weasel starts to bite at his hands. The kobold runs a little way back and begins to throw sharp boomerangs at valor."we use these for hunting back at home, pretty useful things."
Foxhengeyokai 10-03-06, 07:16 PM	OOC:Sharp boomerangs? :confused: Giving the verminous weasel a viscious backhand, Valor stands up. He manages to deflect all but two of the boomerangs, one clanging loudly against his armor and the other grazing his left cheek and drawing a line of blood. Valor frowns and speaks the word "Ex-Null" Valor's twin knives begin to flare up in flames and start to drip a grey fluid. With barely a movement, the blades are launched at skrall, each one beginning to roar loudly. As sson as the blades are in the air, Valor begins to pray, while summoning a longsword from out of nowhere.
cog_and_taz 10-03-06, 07:27 PM	((yes, boomerangs, made of mithril to lighten it, and awful sharp :) )) Skraal falls to the ground from the blow, looking shocked "look, I'm a kobold, I can't do without traps, give me a break!" He looks up just in time to see the knives flying at his face. Knowing it will not do, he tries to block it desperately with his sword, but to no avail, he falls to the ground, hit twice, but not knocked out."what... happened to... nothing beyond mortals eh?"
Foxhengeyokai 10-03-06, 07:34 PM	OOC: Okay then. "Those knives are merely enchanted, with nothing beyond oh say, 200K gold pieces worth. [nonepic] I'm suprised that you couldn't block at least one of them. If we are finished here, I'll remove that ooze from your knee, it almost got through your armor."
cog_and_taz 10-03-06, 07:50 PM	Skraal grabs the ooze weakly and throws it away."You got me there, but it's not over yet... there's one factor you forgot about, and it's right behind you..." ((this or the next post is my last for a while, sorry))
Foxhengeyokai 10-03-06, 07:55 PM	OOC: Mine as well.
SquirrelMortis 10-03-06, 08:01 PM	((You can tell how bored I am when I'm dueling myself :) )) Wilt sends a sickly green bolt of negative energy, which hits Amars's golden armor with a noise like a gong, and Amars staggers back. "Nice try, ye foolish peelie-wallie!" Amars draws a plain silver dirk from his belt. "Little-scythe, Little-scythe, fly and take my enemies life!" Like a silver flash the knife flew through the air. Wilt was forced to throw himself to the ground to avoid having his throat slit. But the knife spun around for a return attack.
Foxhengeyokai 10-03-06, 08:08 PM	OOC:Hey, it's a great way to develop your combat style and, If you are decent enough at it, you can entertain us with it!
SquirrelMortis 10-03-06, 08:12 PM	((Hmm, I suppose you're right)) Wilt then decided he needed to switch tactics. He conjured up a teensy little jar. He muttered some strange words and then his eyes began to glow red. He dissapeared, a wisp of mist in his place. The wisp of mist dived into Amars's face. Amars gasped and than began to writhe in agony. He's to strong willed,thought Wilt.
Foxhengeyokai 10-04-06, 10:10 AM	Valor yells out "Recursus! The twin knives rip themselves out of skrall's flesh and fly back into valor's hands. Catching them deftly, valor turns halfway, one knife poitned at Skrall, one pointed at whatever is behind him. Valor's spell finishes up at this point as well, A glimmering mantle of blue light appears from the heavens, and drapes itself over his shoulders.
cog_and_taz 10-04-06, 10:59 AM	Skraal winces as the daggers rip out of him. With a word, he teleports behind valor and grabs him around his neck, holding his sword to it. "That fact is, I'm not as fair as you paladins." he says, and grins. He pats valor on the back "y' did good, in a fair fight, it would be your win. Still, I'm going to give you a piece of friendly advice from a foul cowardly kobold. I give it to every paladin that doesn't try to kill me, and they never listen, two months later they end up dead, so I suggest you listen: there's two things you need to remember in this line of work, the first is that however strong you are, there's someone who's better than you, and I don't mean your god. The second, most things you fight as a paladin are gonna be evil, and as I just showed you, not as fair, honorable, or any of that stuff, so you better know how to deal with it. Namely, when to stop being honorable." He taps himself on his wounds, wincing as they close over. "well, that's all that ol' ratty has to say now, I hope you remember it, but if you don't... hey, it's your loss, not mine."
Foxhengeyokai 10-04-06, 11:46 AM	OOC: I planned this one ahead of time, why else would I have that mantle there? Valor jerks forward, and the mantle moves to intercept the sword's blade. Easily breaking free of the kobolds grasp, valor spins to deliver a series of swift slashes and thrusts, all aimed at Skrall's neck and chest. At the same time, the star flying above valor's head [remember that?" zooms forward, right at skrall's back. "I'm no fool, I've fought the Vasharans in their plateau, after a horror show like that, treachery like yours is nothing."
LivingShadow 10-04-06, 02:27 PM	((Since Cog and Taz has not responded to Vicros's attack in two days anyone elso want to face him.)) ((SquirrelMortis you want to give it a try after you are done sparing with yourself.))
SquirrelMortis 10-04-06, 06:37 PM	((Maybe)) Wilt abruptly expels his soul from Amars's body. He then, whilst Amars is still moaning on the ground, place his scimitar at his throat. "Anylast words?" Amars moved like a flash, disarming Wilt and getting up in one fluid motion. He then held his blade to Wilt's throat. "Yes, I do, ye ol' peele-wallie!"
cog_and_taz 10-04-06, 11:36 PM	The kobold tries, in his weakened state, to parry the blows. Unfortunately, he is hit by most of them, blocking only the ones to the neck, and falls over. "well, that's good to know..." it doesn't seem like he will be getting back up any time soon((not dead, mind you))
Foxhengeyokai 10-05-06, 09:05 AM	OOC: Game over man. I wouldn't want to run into him in a tunnel though. As Valor turns away, the magic mouth proclaims ," The winner, by knockout..... Valor Killraven. The mantle setaches itself from valors shoulders and lands on Skrall. Healing energy begins pouring through him. "You fought well, but lost because you underestimated me."
cog_and_taz 10-05-06, 10:20 AM	((sorry if you misunderstood it, my character is NOT evil, he's just less fair (chaotic good, remember?) and was basicaly trying to give valor a few tips, he did that to make his point, that's all. Thanks for the match, it was fun, and I'm sorry if I accidentally messed up any of your plans.)) As his wounds close over, the kobold gets back up. " You did too, and believe me, I knew just how much you could do and never pretended to win... As long as you know what you need to know to stay alive in your line of work though, that'll more than do for me. Well, I expect you have work to do, and I wish you the best of luck with it..." With that, he turns and walks back to the arena seats.
Foxhengeyokai 10-05-06, 11:44 AM	OOC: Hey, I never said skrall was evil, in fact valor obviously knew it. Why else would he have avoided using his "holy sword" spell, or his smite evil. Also, Valor set a limit on himself before the fight, had you managed to put him in a situation that i hadn't been able to get out of, he would have lost. I'm glad you had fun though. Valor turns and bows humbly "When I said "Nothing beyond mortals, I bound myself to that stricture, if you had gotten more hits in, YOU would have been the victor. Thank you for the lessons, and I promise you that I'll remember them. Come on, let's go get a drink. Sans, alcohol and caffeine for me though."
Golem011 10-05-06, 02:03 PM	Cowardice snorts at Valour. "Yeah, like that kobold could have beaten a primal..."
SquirrelMortis 10-05-06, 03:35 PM	"Primals are overrated," cried Wilt. "I hae to agree with the wee necromancer," said Amars, who still has his blade upon Wilt's throat.
Khael 10-05-06, 04:46 PM	"Was that a challenge I heard?" declares Hunger from up above.
cog_and_taz 10-05-06, 07:53 PM	((Thanks :), sorry, the tunnel line sounded like you meant he was evil. Also, I realize that there was a chance of winning, but it was still unlikely.)) "Thank you, if you remember, that'll be good enough for me. I appreciate you not vaporizing me right at the start of the match." As soon as he hears the no coffee or beer line: "WHAT?!what on earth are you going to a cafe for than? Aw, you paladins are no fun... Ah well, as long as I can get myself some wine..." ((in case you're wondering, yes, he will eat cheese, it had to be done:D)) ((sorry livingshadow, I forgot completely with the little rat taking the spotlight...)) As the knives close in on zur'thash, you hear a voice in your mind "another thing that seperates me from a mere spell... I may transfer my essence". There is a blinding flash of multi-colored light, and the ground below you, the soil of the arena itself, turns to rainbow light, but still seems to be solid. The sphere, meanwhile, turns to a ball of clay and falls to the ground, the shadow knives still embedded in it.
Foxhengeyokai 10-06-06, 10:26 AM	Shiro looks pleased. "It seems that my student has gotten even better than I could have hoped for in such a small period of time. I guess a reward is in order..." Shiro once more "pops" out of the arena.
Golem011 10-06-06, 12:19 PM	"Primals are overrated? Really?" Cowardice snorts. "Hunger and myself - well, mostly myself, I admit, but still - are nowhere near the strongest of the Primals, but we could still beat you with our hands tied behind our backs and chained to a wall."
LivingShadow 10-06-06, 02:30 PM	((Time for some major destuction.)) Vicros flies into the air about 20 ft and casts a spell. A sphere of black energy forms in his hands that seems to suck up light. He flings the sphere at the (now rainbow) ground blasting a large hole in it. The sphere survived the impact and flies around blasting groves in the ground as Vicros climbs higher into the air. ((That was basicly a moving disintigrate spell.))
SquirrelMortis 10-06-06, 03:32 PM	"Maybe you could," said Wilt fairly. "Yet I doubt you could beat say, a Seraph or even a Cherub."
Foxhengeyokai 10-06-06, 04:53 PM	OOC: Biblical ones? Now your starting to get interesting. But to tell the truth, bith of those beings only work in a monotheistic seeting.
Khael 10-06-06, 04:56 PM	OOC: And since the nature of Biblical creatures is unknown, it may well be primals win, before the fight ever started. "You maybe whelp, but I am one of the strong, for there is nothing that lives and thinks that does not feel my power, my touch." Edit:OOC: To below: "Wha?!" You repeated the above post but for a few spelling corrections. Some kind of subtle point i'm missing?
Foxhengeyokai 10-06-06, 05:03 PM	Please disregard this.
cog_and_taz 10-06-06, 11:11 PM	((holy crap!)) Zur'thash seems wounded from the blow, though it's a little hard to tell. The ground promptly turns back to clay as he transfers his essence towards the shadow sphere and flies it towards vicros.
LivingShadow 10-07-06, 07:09 AM	"Do you think you can take me with my own spell?" The sphere winks out. Vicros throws a bolt of lightning at Zur.
SquirrelMortis 10-07-06, 09:01 AM	"Are you two really suck idiots that you compare mortals to primals," yawned Wilt, who cursed as he pricked his neck on Amars's blade. "Sure, you could all beat chained against a wall and all that, but think about this way. I'm not in your league, I doubt any mortal is, yet you glorify in telling me you can beat me, which would be like me gloating to a wasp." ((Hey, post 1111 ;)))
Foxhengeyokai 10-07-06, 11:26 AM	Valor laughs and says "Hey, I never said that I could obliterate any mortal opponent, in fact, if you had paid attention to my last fight in here, I prefer to limit myself. Besides I don't glorify in beating those weaker than myself."
SquirrelMortis 10-07-06, 12:06 PM	"O I'm not talking about you," says Wilt airlily. "I'm talking about Growling Stomach and Cowardly Lion over here."
Foxhengeyokai 10-07-06, 12:08 PM	Valor bursts out laughing.
Golem011 10-07-06, 12:09 PM	Cowardice sniggers. "Unlike brother paladin over there, I gloat at those weaker than me, because unlike him, I'm not stupid. Or a paladin."
Foxhengeyokai 10-07-06, 12:15 PM	"I'm not stupid at all, I just have better things to do with my intellegence than think of schemes and plot domination!"
Golem011 10-07-06, 12:31 PM	"Pfft. Yeah, like dreaming of Grace, that blonde-haired bimbo." He sniggers. "Now Hormonal, THERE'S a real woman..."
Foxhengeyokai 10-07-06, 12:34 PM	Valor turns away, his face blushing red. "s,s,Shut up!"
Golem011 10-07-06, 12:54 PM	"I saw you staring at her. That kind of thing comes dangerously close to breaking a paladin's code of conduct, you know." Cowardice smirks.
Foxhengeyokai 10-07-06, 01:01 PM	OOC: Hormonal, best primal name EVER! "Hey! I'll have you know, she wasn't nude." Valor mutters "at least not completely" Valor also turns to say, "I've also heard that Hormonal's mood swings can send the menfolk on everyplane into a state of fear...."
SquirrelMortis 10-07-06, 01:30 PM	"Don't set to much store by love," growled Wilt, as the magic mouth proclaimed Amars as the winner. "Love only goes as far as to one, and that's much to far, yet much to short."
Golem011 10-07-06, 01:44 PM	"She might well have been... your eyes almost fell down her top." He preens himself. "Hormonal's mood swings are... how shall I put it... interesting." (OOC) Yup... she's a grumpy, gothic-style teenager like Haley's emo self from her teenage years (see Order of the Stick).
Lord_Canius 10-07-06, 02:22 PM	A tall half elf walks into the arena lobby, with a small, spikey, spider-looking thing on his shoulder. "Good day, denizens. I heard that this is quite a fine arena, and I came to check out the rumours and verify their... veriticity, I believe thats the word." 'I am Gail Windrider, and I seek the owner of this establishment."
SquirrelMortis 10-07-06, 02:59 PM	"He's not in," says Wilt, yawning and striding to meet Gail. "The two of them, that is to say, Cowardice and Valor are having a nice chat about women, and I came to get a breath of fresh air."
Khael 10-07-06, 05:32 PM	"when did I glorify myself by saying I could beat you? You slandered the power of my kin and I, so I asked if you meant it as challenge. Simple really. Is Valor courting Hormonal now? Is this some strange order of paladins no-one told me about or something? Honestly, first Lastai, then grace and now looking for the other end of the spectrum... You would sicken me. Assuming of course you were the first one to try, which happily for you, is not true. And so technically puts a whole bender in your plans, O valorous one. "
Lord_Canius 10-07-06, 05:35 PM	"Who might you be, sirrah?" Gail points at Hunger.
Khael 10-07-06, 05:51 PM	"I? I am Hunger, one of the first and strongest of Primals [insert rambling spiel that shows Hunger likes to inflate his ego]. OOC: Simply put, Hunger likes to think of himself as the strongest Primal, since unlike many of the others, he affects pretty much anything that lives, and several that don't, partially by dint of the fact that he was evolved beyond his origins to the point he is technically a weird crossbreed of aesthetic (The positive versions of Primals) and primal. And that fact if anything inflates his ego the more, as well as putting him under grounds for lawsuits by multiple primals/aesthetics under the grounds of demarcation.
Lord_Canius 10-07-06, 06:05 PM	"A Primal? I'm afraid I don't recognize the term. That bastard demon Vaa'l, or whatever he goes by these days, took me off the thread of time for a short period, so I'm a little backwards, information wise. Educate me, good sir." The spidery thing on his shoulder squeeks rather loudly. "He's not my enemy yet Piddle, so the answer is a "No, we cannot kill him and slowly digest his entrails while smashing his main organs with a hammer.". You really should control that imagination, although I admit that it is a good idea, should he betray our genrous trust." Gail says all of this in a very non-chalant manner, as if he was talking about the weather, or some what-not.
LivingShadow 10-07-06, 06:14 PM	Telepathicly from the arena to Gail. "I see that there is another competitor here. Let me introduce myself. I am Vicros Moonshadow, specialist in the arcane arts, I am also well learned in shadow magic."
Lord_Canius 10-07-06, 06:18 PM	Telepathicaly, back to Vicros. "I am Gail Windrider, Leader of the Luminae Hordes, and Guild Leader of the Farseekers, among other things. Now I would appreciate it if you would get out of my head. Please don't take this personaly." Gail sends a concetrated psionic blast of pure pain into Vicros's mind, and builds a mental wall around his mind to prevent any unwanted contact again.
cog_and_taz 10-07-06, 10:24 PM	((wow, so much for introductions gail!:P )) Zur takes the hits, flinching from the bolts. He then transfers himself back to the clay sphere and flies up to vicros. Vicros finds himself in a maze of prismatic light, sealed in from all sides. "say... do you like mazes? The longer the better, I say, and you can be sure this is one you won't be getting out of too soon." A hand comes out of the walls of the maze, and tries to wrench vicros' shadow away.
Khael 10-08-06, 05:14 AM	"I'm afraid sir, that my kind as all but indestructible. And not even the things that make gods look like the whelps they are, have been able to find the 'but'. And a Primal is the embodiment of a primal feeling, but not the sum. In other words we embody that feeling, but are not the sum of the collective masses, rather being the basis for the feeling. In other words commit mass murder all you want, we won't be any weaker for it, unlike certain gods. In a similar way, our lesser cousins exist known as Aesthetics. They embody the more...sissy feelings, Compassion, Valor, Courage and the like."
LivingShadow 10-08-06, 06:46 AM	((You relize he has no shadow when he is surrounded by light, and since Zur probibly hasn't been trained in shadow magic he can't get to my mystic shadow.)) "A simple spell can solve this." With a quick spell he runs to the exit. ((Find the path really helps in these situations.)) Out of Gails shadow. "You could just have told me. Besides some of the combatants can only speak telepathicly."
cog_and_taz 10-08-06, 08:03 AM	"well well, so much for a good, fair sporting fight..." Zur regains his sphere form and rushes towards vicros before turning himself into his shape, coating vicros completely. "well... nothing will happen so long as you don't move, let's see you get out of this one..."
LivingShadow 10-08-06, 08:08 AM	"Okay you got me I concede." ((By the way I couldn't teleport because leaving the plane is Illegal and teleporting uses the astral plane.))
cog_and_taz 10-08-06, 08:10 AM	((come to think of it, if swishing through him won't do it, why would this? Thanks anyway though)) "well then, that's the end for now I think, no need to take it to knockout...right?" The rainbow suit slowly peels away, melting together away from vicros and turning back into a sphere.
Golem011 10-08-06, 09:40 AM	Cowardice snorts at Hunger's egotistical speech, but nods at the rest.
Foxhengeyokai 10-08-06, 09:00 PM	Valor walks back into the arena, smiling broadly.
Lord_Canius 10-09-06, 12:40 AM	Without looking back at his shadow, Gail speaks. "As I stated, I did not mean it personaly. I have an extreme paranoia complex, and telepathy sets me off. Assume from now on that if I contact you, it is safe to contact me in return. You seem like a good fellow. Meet me sometime." He says this not like an invitation, but more like a command with only the slightest hint of a request thrown in for niceties. He then turns to Hunger. "Ah, so thats what a Primal is. I have one under my employ, currently. He goes by Fury."
LivingShadow 10-09-06, 07:38 AM	Vicros fades in at the arena lobby. to Gail "I would be happy to talk some time. By the way what species of creature is Piddle?"
cog_and_taz 10-09-06, 08:58 AM	Skraal walks into the arena. "so... who's up for another match?" He then turns to wilt with a pitying look "sorry compost boy, so much for your nefarious plans and all that, but it turns out that gareth thought of this waaaaay before you did, and they'll shatter as sson as they leave that crypt. Just thought I'd save you some work."
Lord_Canius 10-09-06, 10:27 AM	"Piddle is a Luminae, of the Fextor variety. I had his spines de-barbed, but he's still got his teeth, so be careful around him." "It is nice to meet you in person, Sir Vicros. I have not heard much of any of your exploits. I would love to hear some." Gail smiles and extends his hand.
LivingShadow 10-09-06, 10:50 AM	Vicros shakes Gails hand. "Actually I am glad you have not heard of me, I try to keep a low profile. As for my expliots most involve the plane of shadow."
Foxhengeyokai 10-09-06, 12:27 PM	Valor raises an eyebrow and asks, "what exactly is a luminae?"
LivingShadow 10-09-06, 12:41 PM	((See Lord_Canius's sig, the one he has is on the second page.))
SquirrelMortis 10-09-06, 03:25 PM	Wilt looks at Skraal with an evil smile. "O, I realized that shortly after attemtingto dig my hole. At anyrate, I've just been beaten by this idiot." He waved his hand at Amars, who is taking a swig from his canteen of wine. "I'm nay an idiot," said Amars indignantly. "Suit your self, by all means," said Wilt. He turned back to Skaal. "Anyway, a friend of mine says he'll be arriving in a short amount of time, a few hours in fact. He'll challenge you. He's a champion of goodness and all that."
Foxhengeyokai 10-09-06, 04:35 PM	Hearing the words "a champion of goodness" Valor asks, "Yes? Can I help you?"
Khael 10-09-06, 04:55 PM	((See Lord_Canius's sig, the one he has is on the second page.)) OOC: It's a character interaction thing. Valor after all can't look at people's sigs.
LivingShadow 10-09-06, 05:42 PM	((I know, I said that in case Foxhengeyokai didn't know.))
SquirrelMortis 10-09-06, 05:59 PM	Wilt glances strangely at Valor. "Erm, I was talking about my friend, just so you knOW--ARGH!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!!" A beam of light fell across Wilt, and he threw his hands over his eyes. A Gigantic creature flew from the sky. It had four wings, and the sleek that combined the best features of lion and bull. He had a mane, horns, a bull like snout, and lion like fur. He carried a great two-handed sword, which was wreathed in white and red energy. "Wilt, your game is up," he said in a deep smooth voice, like thunder and water at once. "I have been asked to bring you back." The creauture suddenly sniffed the air. "I smell great goodness." HIs head snapped around, facing Valor. He sheathed his sword and shook Valors hand.
cog_and_taz 10-10-06, 02:30 AM	skraal strolls over and looks around, hearing the thing's comment" great good? Yup, that's me! So, what's up compost? Time's up is it?"
Lord_Canius 10-10-06, 02:36 AM	"I might be up for a match sometime soon. I'd have to ditch my sword though. That'd be just unfair." He taps a sheathed falchion on his back, upon which the hilt is a fist sized red stone that gleams vibrantly. "This is a star-rubie, an extremely rare magical component. Let me give you an example of its rarity. The tineist grain of a star-rubie is worth several kingdoms, at the very least." Gail grins wickedly.
Foxhengeyokai 10-10-06, 11:49 AM	Valor shakes the enormous creatures hand. "A pleasure, I'm sure." Noticing a firey sparkle from the corner of his eye, valor looks over at the massive ruby and says "Oh, so that is what happened to the rest of the stone that makes up HIS rod...."
LivingShadow 10-10-06, 02:44 PM	"I would be happy to try my luck against you Gail."
SquirrelMortis 10-10-06, 03:56 PM	The giant creature turns slowly to look at Skraal. His deep brown eyes travel up and down his short kobold frame. "Hmmm, you may yet be spawn of Kurtulmak. Although," said the creature. "I sense no eveil in you." Wilt hissed at Skraal. "You stay out of this lizard!" He then turned to the creature. "Look Kaken, I need maybe a year more, then I can pay you back."
LivingShadow 10-10-06, 04:27 PM	to Wilt "So, what is this about?"
Foxhengeyokai 10-10-06, 08:04 PM	Valor asks the gigantic bull/lion thingie "It's apparent you are a champion of good, but what exactly are you? I've met most of the guardinal varieties and at least all of the common eladrin, and none of them resembled you at all. For that matter, I don't know your name either."
SquirrelMortis 10-10-06, 09:26 PM	"I am Kaken," boomed the creature, sitting down by Valor. "I am one of the last of the old ones. I am here," he said. "To get this bag of dirt to pay his debt and to get in a nice fight. I see so little of war these days. Peace is marvelous and all that, but one gets bored."
Foxhengeyokai 10-10-06, 09:34 PM	Valor looks impressed and asks, "One of the old ones eh?" Valor does a double take "YOU MEAN LIKE LAMASHTU!?!?" Valor flips 10 feet backwards and gets into a fighting stance....
Lord_Canius 10-10-06, 10:40 PM	"Who said anything about Lamashtu?" Gail inquires calmly. He then turns to Vicros. "If its a challange you want, its a challange you'll get. Your on, mate." He grins and extends his hand again. I'm not sure how you guys work combat over here, do you do it differently than Krede's Cafe, or would that style be acceptable?
Foxhengeyokai 10-11-06, 10:56 AM	OOC: Combat here is pretty basic, place 10 GP on "the table" walk onto the arena area, and declare your match type. Then have a magic mouth announce the start of the match! Simple eh?
Lord_Canius 10-11-06, 02:38 PM	Thats not what I meant. Are there any new rules for combat posts that are different from Krede's Cafe?
Foxhengeyokai 10-11-06, 02:50 PM	OOC: Oh, um other than the "No blowing the arena up" rule, I have yet to notice any differences. Okay, I lied, it seems that any attacks performed outside of the arena's combat area fail to harm anyone, and no prebuffs are allowed. Other than that, i don't think anything really stands out.OOC: Valor looks closely at kaken and decides that by "old one" he did not mean one of the horrors spawned from the center of the far realm. "I'm sorry about that, I'm just a little uneasy about far realm entities." Valor begins to stretch out his arms and smiles a bit. "I think i may do a little training." With that, he begins to walk onto the secondary arena floor.
SquirrelMortis 10-11-06, 03:16 PM	"No, no. I am one of the old ones, who forged goodness in the time before there was time." Kaken sighs and sits down next to Wilt, who looks most disgruntled.
Lord_Canius 10-11-06, 03:29 PM	"Just so you know, Vicros. I don't play around. This match is untill clear victor, last man standing no rules attached." Piddle squeeks at him rather vehemently. "Oh fine. Piddles taken a liking to you, so we'll duel 'till one of drops.." "*SQUEEK!*" "Oh fine. You can give up at any time then. Other than that, no holds barred.." Piddle hisses quietly. ".. 'cept for killing. No killing." Gail sighs. He pulls out a platinum peice. "I'm assuming you have to pay for use of the arena? Tell me where to put it." I'll be back in an hour or two, off taking my drivers licence test. Wish me luck!
Foxhengeyokai 10-11-06, 03:37 PM	OOC: Good luck.
LivingShadow 10-11-06, 04:25 PM	"Well in that case it seems like a knockout match will suffice." Vicros levitates another 10 gp to the table. "I would have to warn you not to underestemate me." Vicros shakes gails hand. He then fades out and fades in at his place in the arena.
Foxhengeyokai 10-11-06, 04:37 PM	Frowning to himself, Valoe walks out of the secondary arena area to watch the match between gail and vicros. "I've gotta find another opponent."
thecrazyDM 10-11-06, 06:12 PM	(P.S. Hint, Ayik is NOT an actual cleric of Hephaestus entirely!) Ayik looks around the arena, he sees Valor and walks over. "Hey, how're you doing." (Basically he wants to make good friends with a good[alignment] person in the arena. Basically he's just lonely because both his former mentors and his village were annihalated by the same black dragon.)
SquirrelMortis 10-11-06, 07:48 PM	Wilt gloomily slumps himself by Amars, looking pouty. "**** beast," hissed Wilt. "How'll I get out of this?" Meanwhile, the "beast" sharpens his magnificent sword. He lifts his head and spreads his wings, flying at Valor. "Do you wish to duel, my bold friend?" booms Kaken
Foxhengeyokai 10-12-06, 09:23 AM	As valor cranes his neck up to look at kakens face, he replies 'Not yet, I'd like to speak to the cleric here first." Valor turns to Ayik and says, "I'm doing well, thanks. I saw your match against that mage earilier and I'm impressed. Few preists can match the versatility of a chaos mage, especially those that worship the gods of law. But please, tell me of this hephaestus, i have yet to hear of him; what are his titles and what aspect of mortal life does he concern himself with?"
cog_and_taz 10-12-06, 10:50 AM	Skraal looks rather worried "you know... I'd love to duel you, but you know how it is... I kinda value my lifespan, and even though I hear it's awful popular these days, I don't quite like the whole ascension-to-the-sublime-form-of-the-smoking-crater thing... I'll pass." He turns to ayik "hey, good to see you back, the illithid got away, but he's pretty far away, I think we're fine. So, ready for a duel?"
Khael 10-12-06, 02:52 PM	"You... forged good. Weren't much good at it then were you guys?" Hunger jibes at Kaken.
SquirrelMortis 10-12-06, 03:20 PM	Kaken can't help but grin. "That's what they all say, eh?"
Khael 10-12-06, 04:03 PM	"And every time I ask them the same thing. I've been wondering as a result where the graveyards of good are if so many forms of good were created, given the multiverse seems to have only one, and it's not a very good one. I suspect inbreeding myself."
Foxhengeyokai 10-12-06, 04:13 PM	Valor snaps his head over to Hunger saying "There are plenty of graveyards, unfortunetly they are in odd places. The top of Mount celestia, The shining citadel of the plane of shadow, one of the layers of the abyss and in Pelor's citadel. Inbreeding is a silly thing to think."
Khael 10-12-06, 04:22 PM	"You say that, but I'm fairly certain I recognise a few of your features from various other Pri..." Hunger starts saying...
Foxhengeyokai 10-12-06, 04:31 PM	Valor shoots Hunger a glare that could kill an atropal and says "Listen you, my features are my own, whether or not they are inherited is of little importance."
SquirrelMortis 10-12-06, 04:50 PM	Kaken points his sword at Hunger. "I request only silence, impudent primal. Surely one of your stature knows how to keep their mouth shut?"
Khael 10-12-06, 05:07 PM	"Request denied, I break wind in your general direction..."
SquirrelMortis 10-12-06, 05:53 PM	"I suppose it's no use," sighs Kaken exasperatedly. He wrinkes his nose at the horrible smell of hunger's gas. "Whta have you been eating, man?"
Frylord 10-12-06, 08:35 PM	A white-scaled Kobold walks in the arena. He has poison green eyes, and a large tattered muddy brown overcoat. In steaths he has a golden rapier and a dagger. His eyes bug out at all the powerful beings there. "I'm Agog II, and are those things illusions, or real? I wish to fight, but not against them." Agog gestures to Valor, Kaken, and the others. OOC: Oh, cool an RP thread. Can I join in? OOC
SquirrelMortis 10-12-06, 08:52 PM	((Be our guest!)) Wilt mumbled something at Kaken before trying to slink away. "Oi, get back here necromancer," roared Kaken, flying after Wilt, his four wings beating furiously. he slams his hooves into Wilt's head, knocking him sensless. Amars eyes the kobold with minor interest. "Och, if it aint a wee lizards man."
Foxhengeyokai 10-12-06, 09:18 PM	OOC: Frylord, is Agog the pun intended? Valor looks over at agog and says, "I am quite real, and if you need a sparring partner, I can help you out. "
Frylord 10-12-06, 09:36 PM	Agog smiles. "Alright then, but be warned, I've never been beaten before. Then again, the only people to fight me have been weak dwarves and a few drow. We will fight until a knock-out, but I see I am weaker than you, so I get the first strike." Agog holds out his outcoat, revealing about two thousand daggers and only rags under the overcoat. He spits out an arcane word, a hand made of pure force grabs 10 of them, and throws them at Valor. (It's Mage Hand)
cog_and_taz 10-13-06, 03:37 AM	Skraal steps in and waves his hand at the daggers, which turn to stone and fall to the ground "I'd be happy to duel you after you clear that up".
Khael 10-13-06, 03:52 AM	"What have I eaten? Just about anything spiritually, and only slightly less physically. As for you, O kobold of the muddy coat, theres a strict no-fighting rule outside the area. And no enhancing, shielding, massacring, bludgeoning, back-stabbing or anythnig else similar rule in place too. In those words..."
cog_and_taz 10-13-06, 05:51 AM	"You heard him, lets head in." skraal says over his shoulder as he walks over to the arena."and don't forget to sweep up your knives!"
Frylord 10-13-06, 11:53 AM	OOC: I thought we WERE in the arena. Whoops! OOC Agog frowns and tries to find the person who sets up duels. "How was I supposed to know the rules? Noone told me!" OOC: I read the 40 pages, but my character doesn't know the rules. OOC
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 12:06 PM	OOC: All 40 eh? nicely done. Try reading all of krede's cafe next! And, since someone had to make a monty python reference.... Valor shakes his head and grins, "It's great to see such enthuisiasm from someone. As for the rules, i'll explain them quickly." Valor clears his throat and says "Rule number one, No spells that enhance your performance may be in effect unless they are cast during battle. [IE No pre-buffs} Rule Number two, Any attacks made outside of the combat zones are doomed to fail. Rule number three, In order to set up a match, you must walk over to jaden's desk and declare your match type, then pay a 10 GP fee. Rule number four, You must wait for the magic mouth to announce the start of the match. Rule number five, No pooftahs. Rule number six, there is no rule number six. I hope that was all the info you needed."
Frylord 10-13-06, 12:13 PM	Agog nods as he takes in all the information. He then walks up to Jaden's desk, puts down 10 gold, and declares, "Normal, Knock-out." Agog walks over to an unoccupied chair (if there is one) and sits in it, fingering his dagger and rapier. OOC: Where is Gareth anyways? OOC
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 12:21 PM	OOC: Lost in the quasi elemental plane of real life it seems. Valor looks to agog and asks, "Who do wish to fight? I can fight you, if you desire."
Frylord 10-13-06, 12:48 PM	Agog sizes Valor up then nods. "Alright then. By the way, I've never been in the arena before, so could you guide me to it?" ((He seems incredibly naive, but hes more cunning than he seems. A little like Cowardice you could say.)) Agog follows Valor until they get to the Arena.
Golem011 10-13-06, 12:57 PM	Cowardice watches with interest, grinning. "I like his style..." (OOC) You have a patron... :P
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 01:17 PM	Valor looks suspicous and reaches into his pocket. He pulls out a map of the arena, and hands it to agog with a flourish. "I trust you can find your way to the arena with this. I'll return shortly." With that, Valor walks over to a door marked with a little blue outline of a man....
Frylord 10-13-06, 01:27 PM	Agog follows the map to the arena mumbling all the while. Once he arrives, he breathes in the air heavily. "Ahh. The scent of death." Agog checks his daggers, making sure the 1,990 left are not stone. He then pulls out a whetstone, sharpening his daggers one by one. ((Cool. An extremely powerful being likes Agog.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 01:33 PM	With a flash and small cloud of feathers, Valor appears in the arena floor. Looking closely at his left foot, he scrapes it against the floor for a minute. "So, are you ready to begin?" Valor holds his hand and shouts "Adoreus." A scythe made of a brilliant indigo energy appears in his hands and valor gets in a defensive stance. "Now, we just have to wait for the magic mouth to say "begin."
Frylord 10-13-06, 01:39 PM	Agog pulls his golden rapier and his one flaming dagger out of their steaths and puts back the other daggers. "I am ready, Valor. The question is, will we each learn something from this battle?" Agog smiles.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 01:43 PM	"Will we learn something here? Most likely." As Valor finishes talking, the magic mouth shouts "BEGIN!" Valor says "Oh radiant lady of life and light, bless me with your protection! Ayailla's shining mantle!" A brilliant field of white light drapes itself around valor's neck. "You may have have the first attack"
Frylord 10-13-06, 01:48 PM	"Thank you, o noble one." Agog lifts up the sides of his overcoat again, and spits out an arcane word. Once again, a hand made of pure force grabs 10 daggers and throws them at Valor.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 01:55 PM	Valor responds by spinning his scythe in his hands, the spinning shaft takes 7 of the weapons out of the air, one bounces of of his plate, another goes wide, and the tenth one hits him square in the neck, or at least it would have, if it hadn't come into contact with the mantle. As the dagger hits it, it turns around and flies at agog instead. "A master thrower eh? let's see if can dodge as well as you throw!" Valor hurls his scythe at agog, it's blade flashing in the light.
Frylord 10-13-06, 02:10 PM	Agog dodges backwards swiftly, but still gets sliced slightly in the side. "Not bad, not bad, But do you like fire?" Agog clutches his side with his left hand, and with the other hand barks out an eldritch phrase. A beam of fire shoots out of his hand, speeding towards Valor.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 02:16 PM	OOC: did you happen to read some of valor's other fights? Valor seems to dissapear in the flames, and when they clear, he is nowhere to be seen. A laugh is heard from behind agog as two gauntleted fists head straight for his kidneys. "boo!"
LivingShadow 10-13-06, 02:33 PM	((Well, it seems we have a new entrant.)) From Agog's shadow "Nice to see a new challenge. Let me introduce myself, I am Vicros Moonshadow, nocturnomancer and Lord of the Third House of the Teneboros Cabal."
Frylord 10-13-06, 02:39 PM	((I read the fights, but forgot.)) Agog ducks, then uses the hand of force to the daggers again. While Valor is distracted, Agog quickly barks an arcane word, lightning appears on his hand. ((shocking grasp)) Agog charges and tries to grab Valor's armor. He doesn't respond to the shadow. ((Trust me, he's had odder things happen to him.))
LivingShadow 10-13-06, 02:43 PM	((That was just an introduction.))
Frylord 10-13-06, 02:45 PM	((I'm in the middle of a battle here...))
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 02:47 PM	OOC: what are the daggers doing? I'll assume they are going for valor Valor calls out "Adoreus" and the scythe appears back in his hands once more. Swining it in a wide arc, the daggers shatter on contact with the mighty weapon. Agog's hand land firmly on valor's armor and electricity flows though it heading up to a ring of valor's left hand. Valor grabs agogs arm and attempts to hurl him over his shoulder to the ground. "Nice try."
LivingShadow 10-13-06, 02:48 PM	((You can respond later. It seemed like the easiest way to introduce him. And I didn't feel like waiting until you finished. No offence intended.))
Frylord 10-13-06, 02:57 PM	((Ah. Thanks.)) Agog lands on the ground exhausted, and almost unconcious. ((One more spell up my sleeve, then Agog's finished.)) "Huff, huff. At least I can do this!" Agog barks out one final arcane phrase and a bear made of magical force appears. The bear flows into Agog. He appears to become more resilent and hardy. Agog stands up, still swaying. ((Bear's Endurance)) He smiles, pulls off his overcoat, and puts it on the ground. "This was a good fight, and I learned many things, but it is time to end this!" Agog charges, stabbing his rapier at Valor's neck, and the flaming dagger at his left side.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 03:12 PM	OOC: Nice bears endurance description. But you forgot about something... As valor steps back dodging the stabs form the rapier, a stray dagger blow hits him in the left knee, Valor drops on his other one and agogs rapier heads straight for his neck... It hits the mantle and white energy flows thorugh the rapire back into agog, It hurts too.Valor meanwhile places his hand over the wound and it heals instantly. Valor manages to stand up. [lay on hands]
Frylord 10-13-06, 03:19 PM	"Gah... You won. Not bad." Agog falls unconcious. ((Now what?))
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 03:24 PM	OOC: You'll see. The magic mouth declares, "Match over. Winner: Valor killraven. Please exit the fighting area." Valor leans down to agog and says "Oh blessed child of joy, allow this man to feel your joyous caress! Heal!" Holy healing energies flow thorugh agog. "Stand up, and I'll treat you to a meal."
Frylord 10-13-06, 03:29 PM	Agog stands up, shakes his head to get rid of the numbness of falling unconcious, and grins. "Good duel. Never fought against someone that powerful before, and thanks for the free meal." He gets his overcoat, and puts it on. "What whould you say about my fighting skill? Tricky? Useless? Not bad? Please, I live to improve my skills."
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 03:34 PM	"As a warrior, your skills are great. They are straightfoward, but then again since a good portion of our fight was at range, I didn't have much chance to see your style. I did notice that you angle your dagger a little to far to the left. As for the meal, I'm the one cooking it." Valor shakes his head and says Oh yeah, how old are anyway?" Valor starts walking back to the lobby.
Golem011 10-13-06, 03:42 PM	Cowardice shakes his head. "A rematch is required, Valour... me and you..."
Frylord 10-13-06, 03:43 PM	"I am 70 years old, but remember, kobolds can live to be 120 or older. So you didn't beat on an old man. Speaking of which, I'm still sore. Which way are the dorms?" Agog turns to Cowardice. "Perhaps, since it seems Valor beat us both, we could fight him two against one, eh? That could help our chances."
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 04:25 PM	"70 eh? No thanks, I'm tired enough as it is, and I would lose if both of you fought me at once. Also, the match between cowardice and myself got interrupted. But I still won. As for dorms, Just follow me." Valor walks towards the left and arrives at a door marked "Kitchen"
Frylord 10-13-06, 04:34 PM	Agog follows Valor, grumbling about how he himself needs training, but there is no one to provide it. He quickly cheers up when they arrive at the kitchen.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 04:39 PM	OOC: Look at my Prinny post please!!! Valor opens the door and steps in front of the woodstove. "What kinda meat do you want?"
LivingShadow 10-13-06, 04:42 PM	((Saw it))
Frylord 10-13-06, 04:50 PM	"I'll have either dragon meat, human flesh, dwarf heart, or bacon."
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 04:55 PM	"Well Hephaestus is sometimes called the Workman of the Immortals, and he is the god of all crafting. Especially smithing. He also has a strong affinity to fire, as do I. (fire subtype taken on from spell) Anyway, what do you specialize in?"
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 05:07 PM	OOC: Hey crazydm, that took a while. Try walking into the kitchen! Valor turns around quickly and says "Bacon barded dragon meat it is." Valor snaps the fingers on his left hand and with a "poof" two big slabs of meat appear on the cutting board beside the stove. With a few blindingly fast swipes of his scythe, the meat is rendered into small pieces. Valor then quickly begins tying strips of bacon around the dragon meat. A minute later, He puts them in a pan and starts cooking them. A heavenly smell begins wafting out of the kitchen and fills the arena. " One of the first things I was taught is how to cook, my teacher said it builds discipline." A few minutes later, the meat is done and valor hands a bowful of it to agog. "Eat up" Valor tucks into his bowl as well.
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 05:12 PM	Ayik walks into the kitchen and says all above, also asking for some food too. This time a mug of ale and a piece of bread. (Sorry, ceratain events made it impossible.)
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 05:18 PM	"Valor loks over at ayik and says, "Ah, my priestly friend. Sure, here you go" Valor hands him a bowl full of meat. "So, The god of smithery eh? How does he get along with the soul forger? I give my services mainly to the little gods: Chaav, Lastai, Pheiran, and Ayailla. The patrons of Joy, Love, Determination in the face of opression, and Light."
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 05:21 PM	"Soul Forger? I have not heard of him. Could you please explain?"
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 05:23 PM	"Who is the soul forger? That is the actual title of Moradin."
LivingShadow 10-13-06, 05:23 PM	Vicros fades in. "Since Gail apparently has some things to deal with first I guess I will join you. I don't need food though so you don't have to go through the trouble."
Frylord 10-13-06, 05:24 PM	Agog gets a fork and carefully and quickly nibbles the meat. "That's the best meat I've had in years! Remind me to thank your master for teaching you to cook." He then uses a small spell to clean himself. ((He does have manners, you know.)) "So where did you say the dorms were again?"
Golem011 10-13-06, 05:26 PM	(OOC) Chaav, god of joy... oh, the irony...
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 05:27 PM	OOC:Whadda ya mean irony?
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 05:28 PM	"Aaaah." He frowns. He seems upset about something, like a bad memory just crossed his mind. "Anyway, so Valor I need some help, I believe someone has tracked me here. I need help should it come to fighting him. (To deepen the storyline about Ayik and the black dragon I'm creating the black dragon as a character soon.)
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 05:30 PM	Valor looks concerned "You need help? Very well, tell me the problem and i'll see if i can work with you to solve it."
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 05:36 PM	"My past has caught up with me. I was one of a cummunity of kobolds that had come from a dimension different than this. We were fleeing from an ancient evil that sent dragons after us. I was only 13 when one of them found my village. I was the only survivor. Now, that same black dragon is coming, but he is tricky. He will disguise himself as another, most trustable figure."
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 05:48 PM	OOC: Finally, a thouroughly evil thing to use valor's smite evil ability and holy devastator weapon! Valor holds out his hand to ayik saying "Trustable figure eh? Well, I can guarantee that a dragon will have a bad time against me, I've spent a few years as a vassal of bahamut, so any portion of any damage I do to a dragon is going to be permanent. I promise you that I'll help you!"
Frylord 10-13-06, 05:53 PM	"Black dragon eh? I could use some dragon blood for my.... Experiments.. I will help you, Ayik. But rest assured, since this is an Arena, eventually we will fight." Agog walks away, using his map to find an empty dorm for now. ((Ignore me if I am not supposed to be in this conversation.))
LivingShadow 10-13-06, 05:54 PM	"Well, it could be worse."
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 05:54 PM	Ayik shakes his hand. He looks relieved and grins. "Bahamut, eh? I once met a dragonborn cleric of Bahamut. He was one of my teachers, went by the name of Grimstone Hardbreath. I recognized that he was a dwarf b'for he was dragonborn." He looks around "I... feel something..." HE suddenly reaches for his head and grimaces. (black dragon is a psion.)
LivingShadow 10-13-06, 05:57 PM	"I take it as a sign that the black is nearby."
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 06:00 PM	OOC: Psionics eh? good thing valor has 40 levels then. Valor sees the kobold grab his head and says "I've seen this once before, hold on a minute!" Valor starts praying and says "Oh broken lord of endurance, spread your body and mind to shield us from evil! Protection from evil!" A calming influence spreads out from valor's body and eases the mental pain. "are you alright?" Valor yells out "Hey agog! Thanks for the offer of help!"
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 06:00 PM	"Aaah!" Suddenly he fall to his knees and clenches his forehead. "He...is...Gah!" He seems to be very much affected by these mind-attacks.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 06:02 PM	OOC: is it going through the protection from evil spell?
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 06:05 PM	(yes a bit, it is not evil-aligned. The power that is.) Ayik stops. "He is in the arena now, he sees no need to attack me continuaslly." A tall cloaked figure walks in.
Frylord 10-13-06, 06:06 PM	"No problem. Not to be rude, but if you'll excuse me, I have a bed to go to!" Agog keeps on walking towards the dorms.
Khael 10-13-06, 06:09 PM	OOC: Protection from evil blocks mind-control by evil, not mind-affecting effects like Psionics. Unless you're going for Psionic charm or the like... Hunger smirks at the writhing Ayik, pulling out a cardboard carton filled with banged grains seemingly from no-where.
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 06:09 PM	The figure walks to the desk and rudely throws the coins on it. He then prosedes to sniff the air like a dog or other animsl. It then growls. (This the vessel of the dragon, it is actually an object on its person.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 06:12 PM	OOC: arrg. Valor waits patiently for ayik to decide the course of action.
Golem011 10-13-06, 06:13 PM	OOC:Whadda ya mean irony? (OOC) You have to live in the U.K. and know what a chav is to understand.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 06:14 PM	OOC: Oh that's what you meant!
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 06:15 PM	(Uhhhhh, the thing is in the other room and none of us knows about it but...okay!) The thing bares fangs dripping with ichor and growls again. (I need to have food, please postpone fight for a while.)
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 06:21 PM	OOC: gotcha
Khael 10-13-06, 06:23 PM	(OOC) You have to live in the U.K. and know what a chav is to understand. OOC: Yep... I dion't know about you, but when I saw that name I immediately thought: New Earth..."Oh god, I'm a..."
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 06:25 PM	(I'm back. Wolfed the food.) Ayik turns and looks at it. "That is not the dragon, merely a herald to announce its approach." The thing suddenly looks toward Ayik and screeches. It looks back at Valor and starts looking between the two then decides Valor is a bigger threat. It turns and steps ttoward the arens then starts to scamper on all fours.
Golem011 10-13-06, 06:25 PM	OOC: Yep... I dion't know about you, but when I saw that name I immediately thought: New Earth..."Oh god, I'm a..." (OOC) I dislike them intensely. I now have this image of the god of joy wearing fake gold chains, a fake burbury cap and having that neanderthal look to his face that most of 'em seem to have... and prayers to him including 'ked' and 'init'. *shudders*
Frylord 10-13-06, 06:28 PM	There is a large BOOM, and Agog flies hurtling out of one of the dorms, and he lands at the feet of the thing. "And that my friends, is why you never combine a flask of alchemist's fire and a healing potion. Blasted imsomnia!" Agog gets up, bruised and battered, but otherwise fine, and stares at the figure. ((What does the figure look like?))
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 06:29 PM	OOC: BWAHAHAHA British "gangstas" anyways.... "So ayik, do we follow that pathetic thing or wait for the big one to show itself? Preferably in the arena floor, after all it has a roof!
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 06:31 PM	The thing is easily 9 feet tall, and smells of carrion. Its head is the only thing you can see. It looks like a wolf's skull with an oily membrane over it. It's teeth are black and dripping. Its eyes are simply pools of nothingness. Ayik simply says "Kill it."
Khael 10-13-06, 06:32 PM	(OOC) I dislike them intensely. I now have this image of the god of joy wearing fake gold chains, a fake burbury cap and having that neanderthal look to his face that most of 'em seem to have... and prayers to him including 'ked' and 'init'. *shudders* OOC: Damn you! Now I have that image... Well, no actually I see more a Mr. T/Brian Blessed crossbreed (T gear, with Blessed voice/laugh) to him... Depressingly thats not much better... Much funnier though. "Dear...well anyway, that thing smells like my last bathroom break..."
Golem011 10-13-06, 06:36 PM	"It smells like what I smell like to Cthulhu..." Fear smirks. "You'd be surprised what he's afraid of..."
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 06:39 PM	The thing walks to the arena and throws off the cloak. It has a chitinous body covered in spikes. It also has 6 arms with huge chitin blades on them. Its feet are hooves. 6 foot wings sprout from its back and end in hooked and barbed claws. It growls and paws the ground.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 06:41 PM	Valor calls out "Adoreus!' The scythe appears in his hands. "I don't care who, or what you are, if you have the nerve to attack someone right in front of me, you are going to pay. I'm going to cut you into pieces so small that even a pixe would need tweezers to pick them up! NOW PREPARE TO DIE SCUM!" Valor steps forward and vanishes, appearing right behind the figure he brings his scythe in a downward slash, threatening to cut the thing in half...
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 06:44 PM	it turns around and blocks the scythe with one claw and slahes with 5 others, also, it vomits at you in a torrent of foulness and acid. Ayik grimaces as he rushes to help "YUCK!"
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 06:49 PM	OOC: This thing just blocked a small hole in the multiverse? Nah... it kinda sounds like a dream larva though. Valor smiles at the thing and says "Foolish being" The scythe flare's for a moment and that claw dissapears, along with a large amount of thick, black stuff. Holy energy begins flowing thorugh the creature even as it's other 5 claws bounce off of his armor. Valor simply steps to side, avoiding the vomit. "Hey ayik! any ideas?"
Frylord 10-13-06, 06:49 PM	Agog rushes to the Arena, when he sees Valor attack the thing, hes shrugs, and starts to chant eldritch phrases while holding up a large onyx jewel. ((This'll take about 3 posts of all of you to finish it. Unless Agog get's attacked.))
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 06:53 PM	"Valor, this creature has weaknesses between its armor. By Hephaestus! Look!" The creature's talon is isgrowing back, in a few seconds it is back. (Nah, I got the ideas from tyranids. Warhammer40k sounded creepy 'nough.)
Khael 10-13-06, 06:54 PM	"Cthulhu's scared of my doings? Frankly I'm not surprised, I'm damn near scared of the things... Near, mind you."
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 07:05 PM	Valor says "A chink in its armor eh? I'm no smith, I'll try to keep it occupied while you find the weak spot ok?" Valor begins steps orward again and lauches a slash at the creatures joints. "Now hurry up and DIE!"
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 07:10 PM	Ayik starts examining it closely. He yells "I see one on the neck! Cut its head off quick or it will grow back in!" The thing starts slashing madly, one of these actually hits and scores the armor of Valor. It also starts to screech, a long low screech. You head begins to hurt and you realize you have a nosbleed.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 07:17 PM	"What the hell are you?" Valor's vision blurs for a moment but he skaing his head, the blurriness wears off, a few crimson drops fall to the ground. With a shout, Valor swings again at the creature, this time aiming for it's neck.
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 07:24 PM	The thing leaps foward to bite your neck, but its head it sliced off as it leaps forward. Just before it dies, the creature shrieks one last time and you suddenly feel, Ayik too, as if your mind and ears are being torn apart by thousands of claws.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 07:29 PM	Valor teeters for a moment but remains standing. Breathing hard he asks "You okay ayik? That thing was a pain, but oh well, it a decent enough warm up for the main course."
LivingShadow 10-13-06, 07:32 PM	Vicros fades in "Too bad it seems I missed it."
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 07:33 PM	Ayik's eyes are riveted behind you and they are opened wide. He then sneers and says "He is trying to communicate with us, look." You look behind you and see a huge black dragon standing in the arena, it seems to be an illusion of the real thing. "Greetings worms. And you prey"
Khael 10-13-06, 07:35 PM	"Wotcha boyo", calls out Hunger from the stand.
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 07:37 PM	"Scum"
LivingShadow 10-13-06, 07:38 PM	"Rather confident isn't he." ((last post for today))
thecrazyDM 10-13-06, 07:42 PM	(My last post too) The dragon says "Now who is the scum! Puny worm, you are not worthy of my master, surrender the kobold or face destruction! You are not capable of understanding his wishes!"
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 07:50 PM	Valor laughs heartily "Puny worm eh? If I'm so puny then why is YOUR voice that shaking? I'm no fool and I'll bet your master isn't either, it clearly knows that fighting me is a foolish thing to do! It's not my choice to "surrender the kobold," if he wants to go, then that is what he will do, but only by his own free will." Valor throws a small green rock at the image and it dissapears.
Frylord 10-13-06, 08:28 PM	Agog shouts out a few more eldritch phrases, not noticing that the battle is over. He crushes the gem he is holding, huge emerald green draconic wings sprout out of his back, ripping apart his overcoat and scattering the daggers, his scales turn the color of a forest, and he grows draconic horns. He then notices the dead body. "Well, turning myself into a half green-dragon was useless for the battle." Agog notices the destroyed overcoat and the daggers and starts to pick the daggers up. ((OOC: Kinda g-modding by turning myself into a half-dragon, but you guys are a bit too powerful for me...))
Foxhengeyokai 10-13-06, 08:29 PM	OOC: Oh well, I'm done tonight. If you G-mod too much, I may have to turn you into a prinny!
Frylord 10-13-06, 08:30 PM	((OOC: A what?))
cog_and_taz 10-13-06, 09:19 PM	Suddenly, skral, mounted on his weasel, lands on the dragon, crackling lance first. He looks around and sees the mess it has caused before turning to valor and agog. "say, would you guys have any idea what this lizard is doing here? I don't think it's moving... oh well, I'm sure shiro can make a good meal of it." ((not necessarily dead, he just thinks it is))
Khael 10-14-06, 05:28 AM	((OOC: A what?)) OOC: A unit out of a game called Disgaea. Basically a soul in debt who was resurrected into the shape of a penguin (normally blue and white in colour), with a collecting pouch. Known as weapons in a pinch since they explode if thrown... As for godmodding, It should be noted that the majority people here are actually using stuff fairly close to legal (Last I checked at least), it's just they're good at embelishing the details and adding loopholes for the other guy to use to survive though. Trust me, you've not seen (or done) godmodding here yet... (If you wonder I define Roleplaying and godmodding by one thing: If there are rules being heeded (whether unspoken or put down) it be RP, if theres no rules thats when you hit full godmodding... We haven't even hit full godmodding yet up on the 'make your own cool dieties thread', threatened it once or twice but not hit it and its insane in there already...)
thecrazyDM 10-14-06, 06:54 AM	(You mean the evil antropomorphic umberhulk-thing we just beat? Or the immense illusionary dragon trying to talk to us?)
LivingShadow 10-14-06, 07:20 AM	((I'm back.)) "Seems Valor can handle the dragon."
cog_and_taz 10-14-06, 08:18 AM	((that dragon is illusory? crap. call it the umber hulk than))
Golem011 10-14-06, 12:44 PM	Cowardice laughs at the black dragon.
Foxhengeyokai 10-14-06, 01:08 PM	OOC:I went to the trouble of statting out a prinny. I'm actually pretty proud of it, seeing as how it's my first critter.http://boards1.wizards.com/leaving.php?destination=http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D720466 The dragon vanished after Valor threw his "Random stone of illusion desrtoying at it"OOC: Valor looks over to skraal and says, "You may not want to stand on that thing, it's blood is going to eat right through your feet."
Frylord 10-14-06, 01:27 PM	Agog takes a cue from Cowardice and laughs with him. "And to think, most kobolds say dragons are to be revered! That is why I am no ordinary kobold." Agog fingers his rapier, in case something else happens.
Foxhengeyokai 10-14-06, 01:31 PM	Valor looks over to the lauging men and joins in "Hahahaha, foolish WORM, show yourself so that i may inflict such pain on you a balor would cringe." Valor begins doing his nails with a black dagger as he waits...
Frylord 10-14-06, 07:55 PM	Agog stops laughing, and gets out a small bag. He then pulls another overcoat out of the bag, except this time it has holes in the back for wings. "Who would've thought that the coat I got from that half-celestial would come in handy?" Agog gathers up his daggers and puts all the daggers in small straps once more. He then laughs about Valor's comment about pain. "You? Inflict horrible pain on a person? You seem too much of a good little guy to torture people." Agog then begins to count all his daggers.
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 02:05 AM	Valor cracks his knuckles and says "Pain is merely the evil leaving my opponents body. Likewise, I never said torture, but the pain that results from an honorable battle should be just plenty. You would be suprised, I'm certain you've seen the "power word pain" spell before, well, let's just say I can replicate that without trouble."
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 03:47 AM	Skraal looks down at his feet. "guess you're right, well, that's why I ride a weasel. Better his feet than mine!" he grins and walks off the hideous beast, turning to the illusion in the arena and idly tossing a combination of stones, crumpled wrapping paper and stale biscuits at it. He looks over his shoulder at valor. " honestly, I don't envy that lizard. As for the whole pain thing, I'm pretty sure you and I aren't evil, and we still feel pain, like this." he suddenly pokes valor in the stomach. "see what I mean? And as a personification of honour and all that silly stuff, I don't htink you fit the bill for evil."
Khael 10-15-06, 04:49 AM	"How about me?" Hunger inquires...
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 07:24 AM	"I guess we should get rid of this." Vicros whistles and in response tentecles of darkness drag the corpse out of view which then is followed by the sound of eating. "Don't worry, that particular one is immune to acid."
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 07:36 AM	"charming"
Frylord 10-15-06, 10:44 AM	Agog chuckles at Skraal's speech. "Yes, you are right, but what about me? How about you try seeing if I am evil or not?" Any divination spells show overwhelming evil, yet a large bit of honor. (Lawful Evil) "If you would've known my father, you would've retched at the evil HE had. He destroyed an entire village, just because he could. He had a few companions, but they abandoned him, and he died in an arena much like this one, killed by filthy humans. However, around that arena, there has been rumors of a powerful mohrg terrorizing the city. I fear no death, for if my father can transform himself into a mighty undead, then so can I, and no mere dragon can stop me!" Agog cackles manically, whirling his flaming dagger and his rapier around wildly. ((Here, have some backstory, because I felt like it. Also, Agog's fragile mind is straining from being in an arena, because he thinks he's gonna die.))
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 10:59 AM	Skraal shakes his head after examining agog's mind "figures". "oh well, believe me, I've seen worse in my time. Anyway, you do know that any undead raised in or near the arena collapse, right? Also, with valor here, as soon as you try some Taken-from-the-textbook-of-vile-darkness-ascension-to-undead-scheme, valor here will most likely hack you to pieces and serve you back at the cafe, I reckon. As for wretching, I try to avid that. It's less effective than hitting them until they fall down and the smell and mess it leaves is worse.
Frylord 10-15-06, 11:22 AM	"My father died in a DIFFERENT arena. Also.... Well... You have a good point. I only wish I could feed you to Hunger here. Of course, Valor... Forgot about him, but if I become an undead, I will have done nothing wrong. Merely have chosen a different lifestyle. Do you think he would kill me for choosing something different? I don't think so." Agog then gets out his whetstone and sharpens his daggers one by one, mumbling quietly to himself about arrogant people.
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 11:40 AM	"look, being undead is not a bad thing, though personally I don't recommend it. It's just that people like you tend to follow it up with taking the world over in an afternoon, which I rather you didn't do. As for those toothpicks of yours, didn't you ever hear of the powers of the mind? beats stones and magics any day." with that, the daggers fly into the air, sliding themselves against a wall of force several times before gliding back into their pockets in agog's overcoat. "there, I think I just saved you an hour or two..."he looks at the amount of daggers. "call that five days of your life."
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 11:59 AM	Valor shakes his head quickly. "Listen, pain by itself is a fact of life. It is... merely a tool. That is, when used in the correct manner, such as stopping a battle to END more pain and stop people from dying, it is acceptable. When used against a helpless person, be they POW's or some idiot off of the street that is using it for evil, which I refuse to do. I dislike most undead, but only because they share either predatory habits to the common races, and have an innate predilection to evil. I pity them, but they can be helped, you see, when a otherwise good person becomes an undead, their soul has already gone halfwaqy to it's final destination, by obliterating the undead body, it is freed to have peace." Valor looks over to Skrall and says, If you expect me to serve HIM as food, you must be nuttier than an allip! But really, it is not my place to judge the choices of another. So long as they don't hurt others, do what you will to yourself, but expect me to try to help you at least if I see a chance of saving you from the clutches of abyss/hades/hell.
Frylord 10-15-06, 12:06 PM	"Thank you, Skraal. As for you, Valor, well I am not going to become an undead around you. You easily beat me, so let's let bygones be bygones?" Agog sits down and starts running through strategies in his head.
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 12:08 PM	"Like I said, it's your choice in the matter, and I won't make any judgments about it, at least until you do something foolish. So, when is this dragon coming anyway, don't tell me he was scared off?"
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 12:12 PM	Skraal lies and watches tiredly as his weasel gnaws on agog's foot, feeling too tired to stop it. what's wrong with me? I can't think straight, I feel so sleepy... have I been poisoned? What's going on? What the hell, I don't care any more, I just want to sleep....... A small part of his mind tries to rebel, but it's no use, his eyes close and he rolls over, breathing, but only barely.
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 12:15 PM	Valor watches with interest as skrall rolls over. "I guess you need your rest too, but isn't there a better place to do it? Wait, there's something wrong here. Agog! stay on your guard!"
Frylord 10-15-06, 12:18 PM	Agog gets up, stares at Skraal, and pulls out his flaming dagger and his rapier. "Will do. I don't want to end up like him."
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 12:19 PM	"I can help." Vicros walks over to Skrall and dispells any magic affecting him (exept beneficial ones of course).
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 12:21 PM	((yay for making stuff up on the fly!)) Vicros's magic seems to have no effect,instead, you begin to hear some strained mumbling from skraal after a minute or so. "who...you...dragon? Why...here...me..help..." he begins to twitch and seems to unconciously reach for his sword. His breathing is also strained and irregular. ((EDIT: holy crap frylord what are you doing! :OMG!:
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 12:22 PM	Valor burst out in a fit of giggles. " I just realized, it's almost like we are an adventuring party! 2 kobolds, one paladin, and a nocturnomancer. what an odd combination!" Valor shakes his head and stops smiling. "That aside, I have an idea." Valor begins to pray.... "Oh mother of light and shining maiden, send us your heavenly light to banish the darkness of evil influence! Mass Holy Aura!" A heavenly light fills the arena, toppin gany forms of mind control, possesion, and dispelling any illusions as well.
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 12:27 PM	The spell seems to be effective...for a moment. Soon, you hear incoherent screaming and babbling from skraal, and a hissing sound as some of his skin begins to melt, as if exposed to acid.
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 12:29 PM	"I'm going to put him in temporary stasis, whatever is affecting him will have no affect while he is in a stasis, however valor can still affect him. He will wake up in a few minutes so we have some time to think." Vicros casts a spell and Skrall floats into the air immoble, his skin also stops melting.
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 12:30 PM	The kobold's face is frozen in a grimace of horror and pain, but the effects seem to have temporarily subsided.
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 12:30 PM	OOC: Shadow, you beat me to it!
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 12:34 PM	OOC: guys, here's a hint: know of any nightmare using, acid-breathing evil dragons in the area that is after a kobold?
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 12:34 PM	((I know.)) "This must be the work of the black, I can find no other explanation"
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 12:36 PM	OOC: Of course, but I was planning on letting you introduce it, if you aren't gonna do it, I have the perfect place for a dragons lair.... Remember the boiler room thing? OOC: Valor spits in disgust "Allright that's it! Agog take my left side, vicros, my right. We are going to find this worm and crush it!"
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 12:37 PM	OOC: here, have a million dollars:P ((will edit this out if TCDM doesn't like it)) "well well, don't you wish you never knew now?" says a deep, hissing voice as a line of green acid closes in on vicros, but the dragon is nowhere to be seen.
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 12:39 PM	Vicros dodges to the side and casts a spell hastily causing the acid to barely affect him. "How did I guess."
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 12:40 PM	"well well, isn't that nice? The matchstick can use magic... guess what, so can I...." echoes a voice from above. The sky turns black, and begins to rain acid.
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 12:44 PM	"You wouldn't say that if you knew me." ((I'm guessing that was a spell.)) Vicros casts another quick spell the acid vaporizes in midair. He then tosses a bunch of crystals intos the air. They enlongate and grow until they become spears of ice and fling themselves at the dragon.
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 12:46 PM	Valor smiles "save your spells for yourself and the others. I am immune to acid. However, now that he has revealed himself at least partially, I can track it down without trouble." Valor prays "Oh lord of the north wind and king of good dragons, Bless me with your some of your might! Vassal of Bahamut Change!" The prayer completed, valor's armor changes to a almost blindingly bright platinum color and valor sniffs the air. "Follow me, I know where he is...." Valor starts walking towards the boiler room...
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 12:47 PM	((which.. you can't see. Also, technically, this is an extension of his breath weapon.)) The lances of ice fly upwards, into the clouds. You hear a crunching, biting sound followed by a spitting sound. Soon, the lances come back down, as shavings and water droplets. Later, as you enter the boiler room, you see a large coiled black dragon. It initially does not seem to notice you, until all of you have entered the room. It then turns towards the group and opens its maw. Even as it spits its deadly breath of acid, the illusion of the dragon vanishes, replaced by closed entrances/exits, a hissing laugh, and a quickly growing pool of acid in the room.
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 12:51 PM	"Ok then, you all have fun fighting the fake dragon illusion thing. I'm going to strike at heart of the matter." Valor shakes his head and opens the door to the boiler room, only to be litteraly covered in a thick green acid. It drips off of valor without harming him, but begins to eat the floor. "You are all lucky i opened that door."
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 12:52 PM	Vicros presses against the wall next to the door. "It seems we need a plan. I wouldn't worry about Skrall." Vicros casts another spell and Skrall turns black and sinks into his shadow. "This will keep him out of the way untill the battle is over."
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 12:55 PM	((see above)) "curse bahamut! Ignore acid, and you will just give yourself a new problem..." With those words, the acid turns to oil, and the entire walls, floor, doors and ceiling of the room turn to flint, plus everyone's armor. "now if you'll excuse me, I have business to tend to...
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 12:57 PM	OOC:You are asking a paladin for a plan? :plotting: OOC: "Allright here's the plan, I'll take point for now. I should be able to survive any traps along the way, but as for detecting the magic ones, I'll have to leave that up to you, understood? Once we get confirmation of the dragon, do me a favor and attempt to dispel any magics it has in place." Valor begins walking thorugh the corridor and about 20 feet in a huge blade comes out of the wall, clanking loudly against Valor's armor and driving him back a doot ot two. The blade then shatters. "See what I mean? the mundane stuff is no problem, but that circle of doom ahead I can't deal with by my self. I trust I can rely on you?" Valor looks at his flint coated armor and gives it a sharp tap. The flint falls off leaving it otherwise rather unaffected.
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 12:59 PM	((Haha, presto.)) The floor is now devoid of oil. "Easy pickings." Vicros utters and arcane word and the circle fades from sight. He also seems to be a bit stronger.
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 01:01 PM	((so...unsporting...:weep: )) A draconic head smashes through the wall towards vicros, swallowing him((no, this is not magic, it's called digestion.))
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:03 PM	Vicros fades in behind Valor. "I believe we may have found him." ((Yay, dimension door.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:05 PM	OOC: Instant swallowing isn't unsporting? Wait till he casts a prismatic sphere inside it!. "Ah crap, It ate him!" Valor runs thorugh the hole made by the dragons head. Ignoring the poisioned crossbow bolts, jumping over the spiked pits, dodging the swinging boulders and so forth, until he arrives in a huge den. "Prepare yourself worm!"
cog_and_taz 10-15-06, 01:06 PM	(((yeah, I know...)) "I have" the dragon winks out, and the cave begins to collapse. ((last post))
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:09 PM	Valor shouts "I'll get you yet!" A rather large rock falls towards valor as he shouts. Valor respnds by punching it. It shatters in a shower of stony shrapnel. "That's it, now I'm mad." Valor looks over to vicros and says, "Hey, would you mind jumping us nack to the main area?"
SquirrelMortis 10-15-06, 01:10 PM	Wilt slumped moodily, glancing around, verifying Kaken wasn't anywhere near here. He lets out his breath and glances around. The only person in the lobby (who was about to leave anyway) was the idiot Amars. Amars walked into the arena, and he spies Skraal. "At your earlist convenience, I would challenge ye, wee lizard man."
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:10 PM	"Not a problem." They both fade in at the arena lobby.
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:11 PM	OOC: what the heck? Didn't the dragon just vanish?
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:12 PM	((I posted that before I saw what happened. Edited now.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:17 PM	OOC: Gotcha OOC: "Thanks vicros. hold on a minute would you? Valor reaches into his pocket and pull out a small iron sheet. Placing it on the ground he says a word and it grows into a full blown wall. With a few more wrods, it looks just like a black dragon, but closer inspection reveals that it is still just an iron wall. "This'll only take a minute." Valor punches the center of the wall, and the whole thing shatters. "Well, I fell better now."
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:19 PM	"Now what?"
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:21 PM	Valor removes the last few pieces of the ex-wall from his gauntlet and says "I dunno. Hey, what's that....? Valor points to a small blue penguin that is walking into the arena...
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:22 PM	((A Prinny right.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:25 PM	OOC: what else? :evillaugh: The penguin calmly strides up to valor and asks, "Hey, is this the arena dood?" Valor looks suprised, but says "Yeah, this is the arena." The pengiun extends a wing and says, "My name is Cannonfodder dood, nice to meetcha." Fodder turns to the rest of the arena and asks, "Which of you wants a match with me?"
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:29 PM	((Is he a serious charachter or comic relief.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:30 PM	OOC: It's a freakin prinny, of course he's comic relief!
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:33 PM	((Well, enjoy the comedy.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:36 PM	Fodder looks around and says "So, you must all be afraid of me eh doods?! That's okay doods, I can undertand if you are all terribly intimitated by me."
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:37 PM	To Fodder "I would face you if you could handle it."
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:40 PM	"Handle it? Of course I can handle it dood! You don't scare me at all dood, let't fight!"
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:43 PM	"Fine, I guess knockout would work." Vicros levitates the 10 gp to the "table" and takes his position in the arena. ((By the way is he incredibly weak or strong in a weak way.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:47 PM	OOC: he's Pathetic. Fodder takes his place in the arena as well.
LivingShadow 10-15-06, 01:48 PM	"Ready?" ((Last post for today.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 01:52 PM	The magic mouth yells out "GO!" And fodder reaches into his pouch, pulling out what looks to be a pair of frozen fish. Holding them as menacingly as possible, he charges."
Frylord 10-15-06, 04:46 PM	Agog looks at the Prinny, then stares. "Your name is Cannonfodder?! HeheheHAHAHAHA! You'll be easy pickings. I'll fight you next!" Agog starts counting his daggers once again.
Foxhengeyokai 10-15-06, 09:49 PM	Fodder looks at agog and says "You're next dood!"
Golem011 10-16-06, 11:21 AM	Cowardice cackles at the Prinny. "Ah, what a sad incarnation of valour..."
LivingShadow 10-16-06, 04:30 PM	((That isn't Valor.)) and Fodder hits a wall of invisible force. "Heh, watch were you are running." He casts another spell creating images of himself surrounding Fodder. ((I'm just playing with him.))
Golem011 10-16-06, 04:36 PM	(OOC) I KNOW that isn't valour. Valour's a thing as well as a person, you know. I didn't capitalise it for a reason.
LivingShadow 10-16-06, 04:42 PM	((Sorry, misunderstood you.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-16-06, 07:53 PM	Fodder looks around at the images and reaches into his pouch. He pulls out what looks like a small black sphere with a burning string coming out of the top and throws it at the biggest group images. Ducking down to the floor, you hear a HUGE EXPLOSION! "Take this dood! Prinny bomb!
cog_and_taz 10-16-06, 11:39 PM	((guys? umm... I guess I bring skraal back with minimal fuss than, seems like no one is going to follow and whack the dragon.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-16-06, 11:42 PM	OOC:Um, the dragon is gone for now I think, but don't worry, if The crazy DM doesn't do something about it, After the fight involving cannonfodder, I'm going to have the dragon "return."
cog_and_taz 10-17-06, 12:33 AM	((woot!))
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 01:11 PM	OOC: Oh yeah, it'll be time to kick some draconic toucous!
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 04:25 PM	The images remain where they are apparently unscathed by the blast. ((You do know that in order to hit the most of them he would hit himself too. Vicros survived because he was behind a wall of force.)) A ball of shadow forms itself around Fodder. He starts weakening as the shadows drain his life force.
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 04:33 PM	Cannonfodder dies
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 04:36 PM	((It was a knockout match so he is just unconsious.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 04:41 PM	*OOC: beleive me, he dies. Valor looks amused. "Well, that was fast. So, who is up ne...." A loud crash interrupts Valor as large chunks or stone begin raining down on the arena... "Aw, that stupid dragon is back again? Time for it to die!" A large boulder crushes cannonfodder completely
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 04:47 PM	((Whatever you say.)) Vicros fades in. "Valor, I trust you can take care of that,, but to give you a hand." He points to the sky. Lightning strikes the tip of his finger. He then fires the lightning at the boulders disintigrating about 20 of them.
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 04:49 PM	"I can take care of the average dragon yes, but this thing is something more than thatm I fear that it may be psionic. I have no real experience with psionics, do you?" Valor throws the short sword he has on his left hip upwards, and it cleaves the rest of the rocks into pebbles.
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 04:54 PM	"Psionics come from the power of the mind, as a nocturnomancer I may be able to disrupt his mind. However keep in mind that you can possibly cancel a power by attacking him. As a side note common signs of psionic manifesting includes: a deep drone, glowing eyes, a slight covering of ectoplasm, and sounds in your mind."
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 05:03 PM	Valor nods "Understood, hold on a minute" Valor begins to pray "Oh lord of the north wind, extend your platinum wings to protect me and lend me the might of your claws to destroy my enemies! ASPECT OF BAHAMUT" Valors hair, armor and skin assumes a shining platinum color and long platinum claws sprout from his gauntlets. Sniffing the air, he points to the leftmost corner of the arena, "It's over there somewhere. Will you lend me your help?"
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 05:06 PM	"Of course. I'm actually surprised that you would want it. Given to how paladins usually try to chase me out of town. No offence intended of course."
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 05:11 PM	Valor frowns "Is your art inherently evil? If it is, then you and i will have to talk about it later. Valor steps in front of vicros as a torrent of acid hits him. He is, as he was earlier unaffetcted. "I think he's getting angrier now, let's move." Valor shrugs his shoulders and a pair of large platinum wings sprout from his back. "You know, I never got used to that." Flapping them quickly, valor takes to sky, heading for the corner of the arena...
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 05:12 PM	"It isn't but most paladins assume it is." Vicros casts trueseeing on himself. He also follows Valor at a distance of about 20 ft
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 05:18 PM	A massive gout of fire appears out of nowhere and slams right into Valor. As the flames clear, valor seems unnafected by that too. "It looks like he doesn't much like me. Be careful, you may be next. Can you see him? All I can do is get a general sense of his location It should be about 60+ feet from here." Vaor grunts as he gets hurled into the wall. "Ugh"
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 05:22 PM	"Yes, I can see him let me make it clear." A glob of black fluid appears in both of Vicros's hands. He then throws it covering the dragon with ink. Vicros then disappears from sight.
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 05:29 PM	OOC: by the way, feel free to run the dragon too. "Thank you my friend, now, lets tear this thing to pieces!" The dragon that is now in view is a Massive black dragon, it is clearly bigger than the norm for it's kind, and it's voice thunders "POOR WORMS, YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME?! I'LL TEAR YOUR HEARTS OUT AND FEAST ON THEM!" It leaps into the center of the arena, landing with a loud "THUD." As it moves in midair, it's tail lashes out slamming into valor once more, who plummets to the ground. He manages to land on his feet though.
thecrazyDM 10-17-06, 05:38 PM	(I will do something about it! for one, the dragon is a send minions type baddy, not a come in and eliminate. Sure he could do it, but well he is aspiring to dracolichdom, he is mortal. His greatest fear is death.) The dragon dissapears. "Well, since you liked that last minion, I'll send more!" dozens of half-man, half beast creatures sarm in. Followed by an adult black dragon.( He likes illusions)
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 05:38 PM	"heh, this will be fun." Valor feels a hand on his shoulder. "This should make you invisible to it." ((Hide from dragons.)) ((I don't run overconfident evildoers well so I'll leave him to you.))
thecrazyDM 10-17-06, 05:41 PM	Ayik yells "You want to play summon! I'll play summon!" dozens of small fire elementals stream out from his hammer.
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 05:49 PM	OOC: Ah, the crazy dm returns! Well, the dragon is yours now.OOC: Valor grins invisibly and says "you may want to back up a bit, this next spell of mine is going to do some major damage to anything remotely magical..." All of a sudden, a huge blue blast sends every one of the manbeasts hurtling into the walls, the dragon joins them as well. "That'll destroy any standing magical effects."
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 05:50 PM	"It's an illusion. He was trying to distract us." ((Trueseeing remember?))
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 05:53 PM	OOC: of course, but just in case, some were real, they have to peel themselves off of the wall now. OOC "I hope that Gareth isn't going to make me clean the walls!"
LivingShadow 10-17-06, 05:55 PM	"Don't worry about it. I'll clean it." Vicros utters a word and the blood and whatnot disappears. ((Last post for today.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 05:56 PM	Valor sighs in relief "Phew, I gotta lean some of that arcane stuff too.."
thecrazyDM 10-17-06, 06:08 PM	"You fools, I call upon my god to smite you! TASTE NIGHTMARES WORMS!" Suddenly, dozens of (real) crestures begin to pour out of the walls, they are out of your worst nightmares and you hear in your heads "Its hopeless its hopeless its hopeless its hopelesss its hopeless..."
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 06:15 PM	Valor laughs wholeheartedly. "Hopeless? You poor fool, there is nothing in this world or the next that can extinguish the brilliant flames of hope! Sure, your god can hide it for awhile, but hope is imortal , even beyond the gods! Of course, it is best to fight gods with gods so..." Valor prays "Oh little gods of joy, light, endurance, and love; shin down on me, your faithful servant and bless me with the power to clear the arena of this scum! Shining rays of hope!" As valor speaks, rays of golden light pour from his body, ripping through the area, and lighting the arena to the point of painful brightness.
thecrazyDM 10-17-06, 06:19 PM	(Well done you discovered the god's weakness.) "NOOOOOO!" The monsters dissapear. "You may have killed my monsters, but I will return... With one you will never know is mine until too late! Soon one of Cantaclan... soon." (All guesses to what cantoclan is. Except it is not the kobold clan he is from.)
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 06:23 PM	OOC: I am a great fan of divine spell casters. So, I pull in a reference to almost any good god I see the need to, soon, i'll move onto the draconic gods. Speaking of the draconic gods, was it Falazure? OOC Valor smiles, "It was no suprise, few evil beings can stand the powers of love and hope."
thecrazyDM 10-17-06, 06:29 PM	(No seriously, that od is the absolute embodiment of doom. Do not meet an aspect of that god. IT COULD NEUTRALIZE A GOD OF JOYS JOY SIGNATURE!) Ayik says "Well that was bad," you see he has been gashed along the arm, that arm is hanging limp and useless. "Another champion is coming. This time I know who. I believe it is Mistal, master of the dark whispers of the wind." (Noone knows this is him.) Something like the upper part of a suit of armor with a mini-cyclone for legs drifts in. He throws down the coins. He talks in a loud whipery voice with a hint of darkness in them. "Well, no too tacky, not too nice either, but I can live in it." He floats to the balcony.
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 06:47 PM	OOC: I'm a paladin so, does this guy detect as evil? Valor leaps upwards to the balcony. "Hello airy one."
thecrazyDM 10-17-06, 06:51 PM	(He only detects as... nothing, but you sense he is from another dimension.) "Hello paladin, I am Goriban(He is lying through his teeth, a child could see through this lie.) I have come to seek combat and valor. (That was muchbetter lie, noone could see through it)"
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 06:55 PM	Valor narrows his eyes "Firstly, there is no way you could know i'm a paladin from looking at me, secondly, lying about your name is rather sad. But if you are looking for battle, I can help you there." Valoe shrugs again, and the draconic aspects dissapear "I am Valor Killraven, servant of the gods; at your service."
thecrazyDM 10-17-06, 07:00 PM	(He can see anyone's mind and traits. He is also a chameleon PrC.) "My actual name is Miribos and I knew you were by your energy output. The fact is, I am too." I'm off for the night, will try to be on tomorrow.
Foxhengeyokai 10-17-06, 07:11 PM	Valor frowns, "you know i can detect any form of falsehood then, stop lying, scum.
Frylord 10-18-06, 09:32 AM	"He's a servant of evil beings, eh? Interesting... Don't worry, I am not going to join that foolish scum. I don't rely on beings from beyond the world. That reminds me. I need some training. How to get it? Hmmm." Agog frowns and starts practising with magic and daggers.
thecrazyDM 10-18-06, 11:30 AM	(Hey, Frylord! You don't know that yet! He is a master of deception, trickery, and corruption. His next lie is flawless) "Me, a servant of evil? No of course not! I am a regular chameleon making his life through jobs and fighting. I may not be all good but I am not evil either!" (This guy was sent in as sabotage and trickery. Next move is to, during the night, poison the food food and hide the vial in someone's dorm. Muahahahahahhahahah!)
Foxhengeyokai 10-18-06, 12:51 PM	OOC: you'd better hope that valor isn't the one cooking. Last I checked, he has 43 ranks in cook! I'm certain that would easily detect anything wrong with the food, no? Also, regardless of the ease that that guy lies, valor's Headband of adamant law can detect them. unless he uses an epic lie spell. "OOC: Valor is still frowning, "Very well, continue to lie as you will, but keep this in mind; I don't want you anywhere near my back, do you understand? Also, if i catch any sort of cheating here, I will be forced to throw you out." Valor leaps off of the balcony and lands on the ground without a sound. He then walks over to vicros and wispers "Would you be so kind as to do me a favor? That man over there, there is something odd about him. Perhaps you could monitor his movements, or have a servant do so?"
LivingShadow 10-18-06, 04:08 PM	"Not a problem." Vicros whistles and out of the shadows appears a tentecled beast looking somewhat like an octopus ((I lack a better expalnation)). Vicros points at miribos or whatever his name is. It takes a quick look at the target and fades into the shadows. Telepathicly to Valor: "Sorry to have to say this in your mind but I can't risk him hearing. That creature will follow him in the shadows but he will not be able to kill it unless he can destroy the walls of the arena."
thecrazyDM 10-18-06, 04:38 PM	He frowns, this is unbeknownst to either of you. He whispers as he moves away, "Well, i'll have to be more carefull with this. I know how, though. ten thousand years have done good to a mind." He goes over to valor and begins to speak.(He is a demigod rank 1. OF COURSE HIS DANG LIES ARE EPIC LEVEL SPELLS!!!!!!!!!!) "WEll, do you think that I am ready for a battle?" (He will hide his true power.)
LivingShadow 10-18-06, 05:05 PM	((Almost forgot.)) Skrall fades in on one of the beds in the dorms completly healed.
Foxhengeyokai 10-18-06, 05:28 PM	OOC: Chill out, after all valor is quite divine himself... Valor looks at "the man who refuses to tell his true name" and says "So, you wish to meet me in battle do you?" Valor smiles. "Very well then, let's start soon." Valor walks into the main combat area and waits patiently.
LivingShadow 10-18-06, 05:34 PM	"Enjoy yourself." Vicros goes to watch. ((Last post for today.))
Frylord 10-18-06, 07:21 PM	"Hey chameleon, I like your style. I could use a person like you. Want to be my partner?" ((Better?)) Agog then notices what the chameleon said. "Battle? I need some training, chameleon. So I'll go easy on you." ((Agog has an ego larger than that dragon))
cog_and_taz 10-19-06, 08:05 AM	((gee, really?:P Oh, and thanks LS.)) Skraal limps over to the three(vicros,agog and valor) and mumbles "thanks" before collapsing into a chair, he looks quite tired but otherwise unharmed.
LivingShadow 10-19-06, 04:32 PM	"Rest well Skrall, you may need it."
Foxhengeyokai 10-19-06, 04:50 PM	Valor places skrall on a simple cot and says "You will need the rest, I sense a storm brewing"
thecrazyDM 10-19-06, 04:59 PM	Unseen and unheard, an imp darts in and puts a vial under his pillow. (Nothing nasty, just a poison that will make him hallucinate that he is in a battle and he will wreak havoc on the room with instinctive magic. Oh, and by the way, windy didn't do it.) "Well, then we'd better get started." He walks to the arena. "Knock-Ou!" The match begins.
LivingShadow 10-19-06, 05:15 PM	"Enjoy, Valor."
Foxhengeyokai 10-19-06, 05:21 PM	Valor calls out "Adoreus!" and his favorite scythe appears in his hands. "let's begin, shall we?"
thecrazyDM 10-19-06, 05:28 PM	"We shall indeed." Suddenly hundreds of tiny blades sprout from his armor. He grows four other mechanical-looking arms with scythe like blades on the ends. He yells "Fiyr Contik Immediatly fire spins from his palm in a tornado shape and engulfs you. You feel not the fire. (Yoda!) You are spun around at hundreds of miles per hour. You are then slammed into the wall.
LivingShadow 10-19-06, 05:30 PM	"Interesting attack. Creative use of fire." ((sorry if you don't want the commentary but I was bored))
thecrazyDM 10-19-06, 05:32 PM	(It's from his plane of existence. Even kids who know the words can do it there.:) ) Ayik says " I know fire when it is used, and that was not a cantrip from this world."
Foxhengeyokai 10-19-06, 05:37 PM	As valor hits the wall, he dissapears into it and comes up from underneath his foe, slamming the butt of his scythe into his foe's tail bone while kicking upwards into his crotch.
thecrazyDM 10-19-06, 05:41 PM	:mymy: :ahem: :heehee :heehee :heehee HE DOESNT HAVE ONE Your scythe but whirs through the swirling air that are his legs and does absolutely nothing. So fares your kick. He floats up 10 feet the n says "Seriously you didn't think that would work on me!" He shouts "Miirshul Hovenato!" A huge wave of water sweeps onto only valor and his armor's magic is drained slightly. (Only for the fight.)
thecrazyDM 10-19-06, 06:05 PM	(Wher is everyone)
LivingShadow 10-19-06, 06:08 PM	((Well, Fox isn't on at the moment.)) Vicros whispers to himself: "What was he thinking?"
thecrazyDM 10-19-06, 06:16 PM	Ayik walks over to him. "Well, he was probably inspired by how water erodes stone." "By the way, what is your specialty? I sense no thoughts that could make this clear to me."
LivingShadow 10-19-06, 06:19 PM	"I am a master of shadow." A flame of darkness appears in Vicros's hand he then crushes the flame. "I also use ice and electricity."
thecrazyDM 10-19-06, 06:42 PM	"I use fire and metal to do the dirty work. I am also a master craftsman." An orb of fire appears in his hand, he gazes at it wonderingly. You heard, just before he did it... a mental command that was in Ayik voice saying "Fiyir Assdo." (You know what that means. And no Ayik is not a pawn of the evil guy. When is Fox gunna be on again do you think.)
LivingShadow 10-19-06, 06:44 PM	((I don't know.)) "Everything has its own strengths and weaknesses."
Foxhengeyokai 10-19-06, 06:45 PM	OOC: I, will be on tommorow ALL DAY. Sorry about that, i'm playing a D&D game right now.
thecrazyDM 10-19-06, 06:48 PM	(Sorry, off for the night. Though I anticipate tomorrow. Only on after 2:30, hmmm something like that. Oh and Vicros, he's from the same plane as windy-man over there... oh and by the way. You can call him that.:D )
LivingShadow 10-19-06, 06:51 PM	((Sounds good. Last post for now.))
Frylord 10-20-06, 09:30 AM	((OOC: Ah man... I don't have enough time anymore for this... school things... Sorry but I have to leave, one final post)) Agog mumbles a series of arcane words, and yells, "The memory of me will live on!" Agog then uses spells to dig a grave for himself, and lies down in it, then covers it. ((He's tired, I'm tired, he just wants to sleep forever, or will he?))
Foxhengeyokai 10-20-06, 10:59 AM	OOC: I was wondering when somone would do that to his armor :evillaugh: Valor looks at his armor and says "Thanks for that, now I can actually remove it, and the limits it places on me." Valor smiles and tears the armor from his body. "Ah, I feel so much better now, again, let me thank you. Now, to begin for real." Valor looks at his scythe and swings it once, it can't be seen in midswing anymore. "Prepare yourself" valor seem to step forward, but in mid step he dissapears, appearing to left of his foe, and to the right at what looks like the same time. Each image takes a lightning fast swing, One going for the head, one going for the torso.
thecrazyDM 10-20-06, 02:55 PM	He ducks and the blows go over his head. He punches at Valor in the gut. "Oykurraban Despakt!" A limning of magical force rings his fist and as it nears you, you feel it's energy. It connects with an explosion of flames and every other element."Try a mouthful of this!" He does the same thing at your face.
Foxhengeyokai 10-20-06, 03:07 PM	Valor calmly grabs the fist and drives his hand down hard on the elbow, attempting to snap it. [real martial arts] The elements simply dissipate as they touch valor, without dealing any real harm. Valor pivots, and delivers both a slash and a kick, aimed at the chest, and nose respectively.
thecrazyDM 10-20-06, 03:17 PM	his breastplate is detroyed and one half falls to the ground, but he deflects the hit to the nose. His lower arm also comes off. He grins... if a suit of armor can grin. the pieces start to vibrate madly. Suddenly they grow into 2 new suits and begin attacking too. TH voice comes from all of them now, "You see now that that won't affect me... I hope." All three punch at Valor and scythe him with their scythes. (Inarticulate I know. How many fights has Valor lost? Few, I guess.)
Foxhengeyokai 10-20-06, 03:36 PM	OOC: as a 40th level character, he has lost few fights. Although, he did kinda surrender one, and technically lost another... so, 214 wins, 50 ties, and 2 losses for valor. So, did valors aikido technque remove the guys arm or what? They are scything him? :rofl: :rofl: Valor frowns as he dodges the scything and punches, then leaps to the other side of the arena, while throwing a few small green spikes on the groud, they immideately release a sweet smelling scent. Valor begins a chant as well "Oh stalwart defender of oerth, you who is strong as the bones of this world...."
thecrazyDM 10-20-06, 03:41 PM	He- they fold their arms and wave a blade in their direction. The green things immediatly dissapear. (Well he's a level 40 caracter too, being a diety. His next move might end the fight if donecorrectly so watch your back.)
thecrazyDM 10-20-06, 04:29 PM	(Where are you?!?) "Endo Matina Kal-Kanik Malo-Kanss Fretoo-Farsssan Drekt!" The ground begins to shake and the world is plunged into darkness.(Just the arena actually.) Fire and earth begin to assault you. You feel hands gripping you. The shadows are swirling and twisting into large creatures. "Meet my signature spell!" (Not really, but it is powerful anyway. I made it to take down challenging adverseries.)
LivingShadow 10-20-06, 04:31 PM	"Interesting, but not intolerable."
thecrazyDM 10-20-06, 07:14 PM	Ayik is floating in the air to get a better view. "That is the most powerful sorcery I've felt in a long while!" You also feel the high amount of magic emanating from Windy. THen, you feel it only for a second, but you thought you felt... Evil (alignment of the spell)?
Foxhengeyokai 10-20-06, 09:33 PM	As valor watches everything go dark, he calmly waits for the assault to begin, a blast of fire hits him, to no effect, but a large hunk of ground slams into his back, drving valor back a little. Valor shrugs off the hands without trouble. "lend me the strength ot crush my foes and give me the reign of this world!" Valor smiles and says "Meet one of my favorite spells...." Laughing, valor dissapears into the ground, and seconds later appears behind the airy-guy-whose-name-I-forgot and slashes at him with his scythe. While that is happening, massive chunks of earth start appearing out of nowhere and begin hurling themselves towards the airy-guy-whose-name-I-forgot.
cog_and_taz 10-21-06, 06:51 AM	Skraal walks back to the arena, after saying a quick prayer to agog. "I... think I'm a bit better off now. So, who's up for a duel? I'm bored, and I rather duel someone who can't just destroy me and the whole prime material in one swing."
Golem011 10-21-06, 09:09 AM	Cowardice nods. "I'll fight you..."
cog_and_taz 10-21-06, 09:14 AM	"I believe I specified that I won't fight someone capable of disintegrating whole planes... oh well." Skraal fades away, popping back into the arena a moment later.
Golem011 10-21-06, 04:20 PM	Cowardice spins into existence in the arena wearing a cloak of black covered in embroidered silver screaming faces and light black leather. His face is covered by a screaming porcelain mask laced with gold, and in his hands he holds a long staff with what appear to be spinning wheels of blades on either end. "Let's see if I can beat someone for once, eh?" He dances forward, letting out a great scream that is more mind-affecting than sonic...
LivingShadow 10-21-06, 04:25 PM	"I never saw Cowerdice fight, this may prove interesting."
Golem011 10-21-06, 04:34 PM	(OOC) Remember, this is Cowardice. He'd never enter a fight unless either A. he has a very good chance of winning or B. he really, really hates the other person. Such was the case with Valour...
cog_and_taz 10-21-06, 10:55 PM	Skraal seems unaffected by the scream. He curses somewhat, but then again, he always does. As cowardice steps towards him, he falls into a pit. As he lands, oozes begin to leak out of the ground and slither towards him. "is this more like your style? Honestly, primals can't beat kobolds at cowardice, why try?"
Foxhengeyokai 10-22-06, 12:39 PM	OOC: My computer crashed BIG TIME, sorry about not being here. Valor waits calmly as the rocks attempt to crush the life out of his foe. Another prayer can be heard, it seems to come from the entire arena. "Oh silver lady of justice, shower my enemy with your glorious fury! Storm Of Judgment!"
LivingShadow 10-22-06, 12:51 PM	((Nice to see that you're back Fox))
Foxhengeyokai 10-22-06, 12:59 PM	OOC Thankee
Golem011 10-22-06, 01:10 PM	Cowardice appears BEHIND Skraal, slamming his staff into his back... "You think I can't beat you? Think again..."
cog_and_taz 10-23-06, 06:02 AM	"as long as you're not too busy being a primal, I think so..." With those words, a large wall of adamantine appears over cowardice. Within moments, several more appear above the original as they come crashing down. "meet the world's second strongest force, graivty."
Golem011 10-23-06, 03:39 PM	"Meet the immediate vicinity's STRONGEST force - me." Cowardice spins, his blade whirring towards Skraal's neck as the walls of adamantine melt into molten gold.
Khael 10-23-06, 03:52 PM	OOC: "Meet the immediate vicinity's STRONGEST force - me." That was... and interesting comment. And I would pay to hear someone try to say that without sounding/looking like a right twirp...
Golem011 10-23-06, 03:55 PM	(OOC) It's cowardice. He's GOING to look like a complete twerp.
Khael 10-23-06, 04:07 PM	OOC: Of course. I just didn't expect him to do so when he wasn't about to run off with his tail between his legs...
Golem011 10-23-06, 06:04 PM	(OOC) Oh, he's not likely to do that. He'll just keep attempting to do cowardly things - mostly avoiding Skraal's blades. :P
thecrazyDM 10-23-06, 06:27 PM	Before he can finish, the original armor is beaten to nothing. THen, an otherworldly voice fills the arena, counteracting your prayer. "I AM MORE POWERFUL WITHOUT MY PHYSICAL BODY! THANKS VALOR!FIYIR ACRAVATTE (Next turn comes the effect)
cog_and_taz 10-23-06, 07:08 PM	Skraal tries to parry with his blades. You notice that he suddenly looks shocked. "hey, behind you!"
LivingShadow 10-23-06, 07:10 PM	"Being without a body has certain disadvantages. However they are not obvious."
Foxhengeyokai 10-24-06, 10:28 AM	Valor laughs. "No body now? Good." Vaalor reaches into his armor and pulls out a set of spheres, one of brass, one of copper, and one of iron. Valor throws the brass sphere to the ground and says "Even if you have no body, you can still feel my wrath!" As the sphere hits the ground, a mist wells up out of it. It reaches out and spreads throughout the arena. Once it hits each wall, it begins to glow with a holy energy. The storm of judgement cast earlier thunders and sends out even more holy power, this time in the form of acid rain.
thecrazyDM 10-24-06, 04:05 PM	"Well, that's nice!" You hear clapping and a thundershock hits you with each clap. You then feel blows pummeling all over and trying to beat you senseless. (He is not affected by holy power even though he is evil because of his SQs and he is trying to emulate lawful good. Lets just end this please, I neeed to get back to storymoding.)
LivingShadow 10-24-06, 04:35 PM	((Why not end at a draw?))
Foxhengeyokai 10-24-06, 04:43 PM	Valor takes the blows without too much trouble. Then he frowns. "Listen, how about we call it a draw?"
thecrazyDM 10-24-06, 04:44 PM	(Well I dont think he's on right now, but I like the idea.)
LivingShadow 10-24-06, 04:46 PM	"Those two seem evenly matched."
thecrazyDM 10-24-06, 04:53 PM	"Indeed, and I believe this contest is barely over if it continues like this."
Foxhengeyokai 10-24-06, 05:00 PM	OOC: :P "I agree, we can fool around with each other until we both grow beards and not get anywhere, so let's call it a draw, and let the others use our area."
thecrazyDM 10-24-06, 05:08 PM	"Agreed." You see a wisp of insubstantial wind float out of the arena. Ayik leaps off the balcony into the arena. "Well, that was longer than expected. Do you think that he might actually be a chameleon?"
LivingShadow 10-24-06, 05:17 PM	"Somehow, I doubt it." Vicros fades in next to Valor.
Foxhengeyokai 10-25-06, 12:10 PM	Valor leans over to whisper to vicros, "This guy is as much a chameleon as I am a blackguard! I don't trust him at all and I suggest you don't let him get behind you."
LivingShadow 10-25-06, 04:46 PM	"Agreed, don't forget to watch your own back. You may find this helpful." Vicros hands a rather large multifaceted black gem to Valor. "Smash it when you need a scout or spy."
thecrazyDM 10-25-06, 06:16 PM	Neither notices the large clous hovering over them. It floats away silently to a suit of armor in the armory. "Well, so they do have their suspicions... Time to... reassign them."
cog_and_taz 10-26-06, 09:39 AM	Neither notices the large clous hovering over them. It floats away silently to a suit of armor in the armory. "Well, so they do have their suspicions... Time to... reassign them." ((dumdum!))

thecrazyDM 10-26-06, 04:49 PM	(more like dum dum DUMMM!) Unseen, a wisp of wind sneaks into the kitchen and curls into a ball, dropping into one of the supply sacks and becoming poison. (By the way Valor this poison was sent by the god of deception, so even if you are that good at cooking, nothing short of divine intervention could warn you.)
LivingShadow 10-26-06, 04:51 PM	((But detect poison would.))
thecrazyDM 10-26-06, 05:00 PM	(:detect: Okay I might be wrong but...I believe a demigod's cl is much higer than most people. And important unique deity trait for him. +40 on any DC or roll involving deceit or trickery:D ) Ayik walks over to Vicros, "Say, lets go train against my constructs." (You will be... suprised. At what I have done to my room that is.)
LivingShadow 10-26-06, 05:02 PM	"That may be helpful. You can see my power firsthand."
thecrazyDM 10-26-06, 05:05 PM	When we reach his door, he takes out a key and flicks it to reveal another which he then inserts in the keyhole. When it swings open you see a portal. Ayik steps in.
LivingShadow 10-26-06, 05:09 PM	Vicros readys a planeshift spell just in case it is a trap. (One can never be too careful.) "Where does it go?"
thecrazyDM 10-26-06, 05:17 PM	(First Ayik is not evil, so he would not trap you. And he already stepped through)
LivingShadow 10-26-06, 05:18 PM	Vicros steps through. ((I repeat, one can never be too careful.))
thecrazyDM 10-26-06, 05:29 PM	(Alright alright) You step through and see a large room filled with spare parts, constructs and regular furniture. Ayik steps up to one and casts something at it, immediately it stands up and whirs. "Training mode." Ayik declares. "Wanna have first try?"
Foxhengeyokai 10-26-06, 05:31 PM	OOC: Sadly, at least for would be poisoners; Valor is immune to all poison and dieseases, and elemental damage, and petrification, and death effects and polymorphing. IN fact, it's easier to list what he IS vulnerable too. Those 3 DivR do a lot. OOC: Valor decides to go to the arena chapel. "Oh valiant guardians of good, please give me your Divine Guidance."
LivingShadow 10-26-06, 05:33 PM	"Sure." Vicros takes a gem out of his robe and tosses it into the air. The gem lengthens into a spear of ice which then hurls itself at the machine.
thecrazyDM 10-26-06, 05:34 PM	Then you walk into the portal. The construct walks up to Vicros and whirs and clcks. Obviously it is asking "Are you ready?"
LivingShadow 10-26-06, 05:35 PM	((His attack is on my previous post.))
thecrazyDM 10-26-06, 05:38 PM	Oh, sorry. Anyway, the construct merely dodges while the room amalglamates into something of an arena. It runs at and punches while a jet pack unfolds from its back.
LivingShadow 10-26-06, 05:44 PM	Anyway, the construct merely dodges while the room amalglamates into something of an arena. It runs at and punches while a jet pack unfolds from its back Vicros flings a shuriken onto the ground infront of him. The shuriken absorbs into the ground and ice razors pop out of the ground. Vicros then flies upward.
thecrazyDM 10-26-06, 05:50 PM	It jumps over the ice and it lands a blow on your shoulder.
LivingShadow 10-26-06, 05:53 PM	The blow causes Vicros to spin. He then disapears and reappears on the other side of the arena. "I guess that's enough for now." ((Ended because I have to go.))
Foxhengeyokai 10-26-06, 06:27 PM	Valor laughs, "That was quick eh vicros?"
LivingShadow 10-27-06, 04:01 PM	"Nah, that was just a gauge of it's power. Had to see what is was capible of." Vicros creates a wall of metal in front of himself. He then casts a spell causing it to corrode into nothing. The leftover rust then bursts into black flame. "That is an example of what I can do." ((He could have carried it on longer but I didn't want to disrupt any storyline.)) ((Speaking of storyline.)) A large humanoid figure walks into the lobby and looks around. He has hellishly mutated arms and a rather large sythe strapped to his back. "I smell you, you can't hide."
thecrazyDM 10-28-06, 12:43 PM	(Who's mr ugly? Anyway time to furthen the plot.) Ayik walks out the portal after saying to valor "I'm just gonna go see if Creg'aman has arrived." (Another caracter he invited to help.) After he steps through you hear a crack, a yowl of pain, and a sound like a sack hitting the floor. Then, the portal closes. (In short airy cracked Ayik over the head and dragged 'im away.)
LivingShadow 10-28-06, 02:11 PM	Vicros casts planeshift to return to the arena and he brings valor back too. He then scrys on Ayik in a mirror he pulls out of his robes.
Foxhengeyokai 10-29-06, 11:20 AM	"So, there are even more people coming in here to cause trouble. It must be me."
thecrazyDM 10-29-06, 12:53 PM	All Vicros sees is Ayik in a cage floating above the ground in an underground... Catacomb? You also see a very nasty looking wound on the back of his head, obviously caused by a club.
LivingShadow 10-30-06, 04:38 PM	"Actually he's after me. Don't ask, long story. I will tell you that I am not on the good side of Vecna's followers." Vicros shows the mirror to Valor. "Any idea where this is?"
thecrazyDM 10-30-06, 06:18 PM	(I will introduce Creg'Aman.) You hear a moaning from the next room. You run in, and see a man lying on the floor, a sword wound all along the arm. He is not bleeding badly but looks as if he is ready to pass out. In fact, he does just that.
Lord_Gareth 10-30-06, 09:56 PM	((Just checking in. What have you people done to my Arena? :D ))
Khael 10-31-06, 03:52 AM	OOC: In the main: Used a god to blow holes in it for storyline purposes. I wish I were joking.
Foxhengeyokai 10-31-06, 11:59 AM	Valor runs up to the injured man and places his hands on the poor guy. Holy energy radiates from his hand, and flows into the man, washing his injuries and pain away. "What happened to you?"
Lord_Gareth 10-31-06, 03:27 PM	((WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? YOU BLEW A HOLE IN MY ARENA? MY INVULNERABLE ARENA!)) ((*rages most severely*))
Foxhengeyokai 10-31-06, 03:29 PM	((Meh, it's nothing a wish spell can't fix.))
Khael 10-31-06, 03:29 PM	OOC: Evidence would suggest it was not invulnerable. By any means
LivingShadow 10-31-06, 04:29 PM	((Acctually I fixed that and any other damage done. My second battle with cog and taz for details of the damage caused by Vicros.)) "Valor I trust you can handle his wounds. However it would be a good idea to find Ayik."
thecrazyDM 10-31-06, 04:54 PM	"Ayik," The man says, still winded. "He was taken by the Carobane. THey are evil creatures made by HE. (You will notice that most of the time said evil deity will be reffered to as HE) I believe you and Ayik once fought one. He told me over the psi-net." (Magical internet)
LivingShadow 10-31-06, 05:03 PM	"If you mean that large creature with acidic blood, yes we fought one. Would you happen to know where Ayik is?"
Foxhengeyokai 10-31-06, 05:58 PM	"Good question, where is ayik?"
LivingShadow 11-01-06, 06:04 PM	"Well we know that he is still alive." ((Uhg, had to sit through 2 hours of intro to calc because the school was in lockdown))
LivingShadow 11-02-06, 04:49 PM	((You guys havn't been on often, I guess due to real life.))
canman13 11-02-06, 05:29 PM	my character is mishi a an alu fiend sorcerer 15/ red dragon disciple 10 she was sent on a mision to kill a angel but the angel enlightened her to the good ways now she is hunted by demon assasines and neads somewhere to keep a low profile earn some money and gain experience Mishi walks into the registration room and says " I heard you have a arena hear so I came to enter" she is wearing evlen chain and carries 2 longswords
LivingShadow 11-02-06, 05:34 PM	"Welcome, and yes you heard correctly. To participate you must sign a waiver and pay 10 gp per fight you participate in."
canman13 11-02-06, 05:36 PM	mishi sighns the waiver ((great level)) and hands Jaden 10 gold
LivingShadow 11-02-06, 05:39 PM	"I am Vicros Moonshadow, lord of the third house of the Teneboros cabal and master of both arcane and shadow magic."
canman13 11-02-06, 05:46 PM	"pleased to meet you" she says in a seductive manner
LivingShadow 11-02-06, 05:52 PM	Vicros turns to valor and shows him the mirror. "This may help us find Ayik."
canman13 11-02-06, 05:56 PM	"so huh when does the fighting start?" mishi says
cog_and_taz 11-02-06, 06:22 PM	((skraal will fade out, seeing as cowardice hasn't done a thing in ages)) A small kobold strolls towards the demon "'scuse me, if you're looking for a fight around here, I htink I can help. The great level arena is over there, straight ahead and to the left at the second turn. I'll meet you there in a moment, by the way, you can't fight on an empty stomach, so here's a lil' something to eat". With that he tosses a bag filled to the top with chicken, spinach and cheese, covered in a strange yellow powder. " 's sulfur, figured it would be closer to what you have...back at home." He then stis down, appearing to concentrate, and teleports to the arena.
canman13 11-02-06, 06:58 PM	"I never would eat that vile stuff any more" she says and conjures up some food eats it and heads toward the great arena
cog_and_taz 11-02-06, 07:40 PM	The kobold waits in the arena, lance in hand, riding his weasel mount.
Lord_Gareth 11-02-06, 07:45 PM	Gareth's voice booms out over the field (('cause I wanna screw with ya!)) "Alright folks, let's see you fight with THIS." A frost blast rocks the Arena floor, coating it in four-foot thick ice and causing spires of it that reach over a hunred feet high to appear. It is now VERY cold. ((Neither of you is encased. The cold is physically painful/harmful))
cog_and_taz 11-02-06, 07:50 PM	"look, if you had any sense in you, you'd know that this kinda cold makes me curl up and sleep for half a year... oh well."
canman13 11-02-06, 07:54 PM	"Bah that is nothing" and with that Mishi lelivates with a single hand movement and casts protection from elements.She quickly pulls out her 2 longswords and advances towards the kobold.
cog_and_taz 11-02-06, 08:26 PM	Skraal looks bored for a moment, and then utters three words. As he finishes, the swords shatter into many pieces. "sorry, did you need those?"
canman13 11-02-06, 08:32 PM	"uh not realy" mishi then casts black blade of disaster (( on't be on till saturday after noon ))
cog_and_taz 11-02-06, 08:34 PM	"right. ho hum." Skraal attempts to float the blade out of her hands and into his. "mind if I have that?" At the same time, a few pillars of ice begin to take humanoid form and shamble towards the demoness.
Foxhengeyokai 11-03-06, 10:14 AM	OOC I have to introduce a new character, he'll be an Uberprinny, with a few levels of Fighter. :evillaugh: OOC What looks like a golden and silver penguin walks up to the registration desk, rather than the waddle you would expect of a penguin, it seems to move with an almost supernatural grace. His eyes gleam with a malice you've only seen in the inhabitants of the lower planes. He is wearing a headband, embroidered with runes of arcane power, and scenes of devilish creatures. Strapped across his back, is a Greataxe, about the same size as he is that seems to pulse with power. Interestingly, coming from out of his back, are four golden looking tentacles wich are cruelly barbed. They are wrapped around the greataxe. "This is an arena where combatant put their skills to the test, correct? I would like to challenge the nearest person to a match. My name is U.P Baal, and as for how strong I am, what is highest level of strength you have here? One lower than that should do nicely." Baal begins to laugh with such utter malice and cruelty that is sends shivers down your spines.
LivingShadow 11-03-06, 12:45 PM	To Baal. "The second highest tier is elite."
Lord_Gareth 11-03-06, 03:27 PM	Jaden looks down. "A penguin. Damn, I didn't even imagine this on drugs. Alright, sign this," she hands over a waiver, "We'll need ten gold, and the second-highest skill level is Elite. However, our gladiators are out of comission, so you'll need to do private fights. Ten gold a fight, by the way." ((And the gladiators will be out of commission until I fix my schedule.))
LivingShadow 11-03-06, 04:36 PM	To Jaden. "I believe we have not been properly introduced, as I entered when you were apparently off duty. I am Vicros Moonshadow, lord of the third house of the Teneboros cabal and master of both arcane and shadow magic." He then bows.
Lord_Gareth 11-03-06, 04:46 PM	"Jaden Blackblade, desk jockey. Gods, I need a fight..." ((BE WARNED. Jaden is the second-storngest fighter here, right below the owner. If your character can't compete on a god-like level, you WILL die. Be honest to your charactes people))
LivingShadow 11-03-06, 04:49 PM	"I doubt I would stand a chance against you Jaden." ((As I said earlyer Vicros is elite.))
Foxhengeyokai 11-03-06, 05:39 PM	Baal looks at jaden carefully and says "Elite is acceptable." He signs up, and hands over the 10 gp.
thecrazyDM 11-04-06, 05:09 PM	Airy floats in. he watches the newcomers. "Az Coulba Na Feran JOkonJ FeGH DAfGh!" he whispers. Suddenly a large creature alks into the arena. Basically a disguised Carobane. Also, a humanoid figure walks in after it. it speaks almst totally silently. "I sense you Ayik. Last of the line of Greoriti, herald of the Shining Coronet"
LivingShadow 11-04-06, 05:13 PM	"Not good, Valor we have company."
Foxhengeyokai 11-04-06, 10:52 PM	Valor frowns "I can see that, but I'm far more worried about that penguin over there, can't you feel the evil coming off of him? I don't know which is more dangerous. But it seems he has plans for Jaden." Valor walks over to follow the humanoid figure. "Excuse me, but you do need to pay for admittance, just like the rest of us did, if you don't, I, or even worse for you, jaden may have to kick you out." As valor speaks with the odd humanoid, Baal looks jaden up and down and smiles evilly. "I would be glad to fight you miss, I haven't had a good fight in a long time. I have no intention of fighting to the death though, a simple kockout match will suffice."
Lord_Gareth 11-04-06, 10:56 PM	Jaden shrugs and leaps down to the arena floor in a crash of plate mail that kicks up a huge cloud of dust. "Let's DO THIS." ((This is gonna hurt. Jaden's a master swordsman, unbelievably strong, and she uses a sword weighing over 100 pounds, which she whips around at slightly lower than the speed of sound. If she hits you, you're done.))
thecrazyDM 11-05-06, 09:54 AM	(P.S. the humanoid is the god. Not even Valor could defeat him. Thenkfully, he is also incorp here.)
LivingShadow 11-05-06, 12:03 PM	After seeing Jaden's expertice. "Yup, Baal is done for." (I just got epic handbooks so expect some epic spells from Vicros.)
thecrazyDM 11-05-06, 06:43 PM	The figure turns to the beast and says, "Make a distraction. fling people dent walls I dont care just make a distraction so I can get to the Catacombs of Himonas Padzt" He turns to the arena and walks in. Jaden gets in the way. "Aside fool human!" He waves his hand and Jaden feels invisible hands pushing her aside. He walks on.
Lord_Gareth 11-05-06, 06:50 PM	((Umm...)) ((What in all Hell are you talking about. You wanna know what Catacombs there are in the Arena? The boilerworks. THAT IS IT.))
thecrazyDM 11-05-06, 07:08 PM	(We found that there was a extradimensional catacombs-thing under the arena. figures. Also, Ayik has been kidnapped by minions of an evil god that wants him dead because he is the avatar of another god and he is in there.)
Lord_Gareth 11-05-06, 07:14 PM	((Yeah, like hell you have. No adding crap to my Arena without my permission. Hate to sound like an ass, but Bye-Bye catacombs, stick 'em somewhere else.))
thecrazyDM 11-05-06, 07:19 PM	(Ah well I'll move it, the god still wants to kill Ayik and he's going to open a portal anyway) "Atree Greli Goron Therio Tatrimone!" A portal appears in front of him and he walks through. (Yes everyone this means you know the words and can follow him.) The creature opens mouth and bays then throws off its cloak and begins to howl, just like in the very last part of the fight. Everyone's ears start to ring.
canman13 11-05-06, 08:12 PM	(( sorry had to go to nyc so i'm back ))"I'd like to start a new battle any competitor " says Mishi
Foxhengeyokai 11-05-06, 08:23 PM	((No problem gareth, Baal is UBER epic.)) Baal laughs "Ok miss, lt's get this thing started." Baal flys into the arena fightning area and waits, hoveing mid-air
Lord_Gareth 11-05-06, 08:28 PM	The Magic Mouth appears, announcing a start to the contest. Faster than you can see, the shortswords at Jaden's waist are hurtling through the air, moving so quickly that they leave behind a minor sonic boom, straight at Baal. With the same incredible speed, especially considering that she's in plate mail, the greatsword is out of its sheath, and she charges, roaring her challenge. The greatsword arcs through the air, inhumanly fast, at Baal.
Foxhengeyokai 11-05-06, 08:42 PM	The weapons all pierce baal's body and he looks at them in suprise. His voice comes from behind jaden as he says "Impressive woman, to bad I'm over here." As four razor barbed tentacles flail away at jaden, looking for to grab her throat, she barely hears the ring of an axe being pulled from a holder and notices a massive axe that seems to be dripping destruction arcs towards her waist, moving so fast it look like there are 3 of them... "Don't underestimate me."
Lord_Gareth 11-05-06, 08:49 PM	Jaden does what she does best; brute strength. She whips her greatsword about, using the wide blade to intercept the axe, sending a ringing shock through Baal's weapon arm. She lets go of the sword with one hand and graps a tentacle, hauling on it hard to hurl whatever is holding it through the air. Smiling, she says one word. "Storm!" From her gauntlets erupts about, oh, 50 magic missles (Iaasac's Greater Missle Storm), all streaking straight at Baal.
Foxhengeyokai 11-05-06, 09:07 PM	((This'll be my last post for tonight.) The magic missles slam into baal, and he flinches for a moment. He then busts out laughing as the tentacle begins to drain the strength from jaden's body. The axe is brought back again, only this time in a series of slashes, each one sending out waves of fire, ice, acid, sound, and another wave that is merely pure unholy power. Baal leaps upwards into the air, flying with apair of small batwings.
canman13 11-05-06, 09:08 PM	Mishi starts wathcing current batytel " go baal" she shouts
Lord_Gareth 11-05-06, 09:12 PM	((You are aware that she just HURLED the tentacle? She's not keeping it.)) Showing a display of savage skill, Jaden parries the axe blows, then catches it under the head. With a roar, she presses her blade forward, seperating blade and haft. Now dropping her greatsword, she opens her palms and the shortswords re-appear in them. She promptly hurls them straight at Baal.
thecrazyDM 11-06-06, 03:25 PM	(Prepare for a rematch of that earlier fight Valor) The beast flattens its ears and stops the howl. It charges at Valor and attempts to knock him down, and begins worrying at his throat. Vicros, you hear in your head "Vicros its ayik, im in the Catacombs on the shadow dimension.
Foxhengeyokai 11-06-06, 04:09 PM	((All they need is a touch to do their foul draining work... Bwahahahaha.)) Gasping in no small amount of suprise, baal barely manages to bring his tentacles together in time to deflect the twin blades. Holding out one limb, he smirks and the two pieces of his axe come to him, then shortly fuse together. "Woman, what ARE you? I've never had a fight this intense before." Ball begins to laugh, "Very well... TRY THIS!" Ball begins spinning so fast that a small whirlwind appears at his feet. From the whirlwind, beams of many colors spread out, smashing into the walls, the floors, the ceiling, and threatening to all to engulf jaden in a inferno of color. "Woman, feel the might of the Pringer beam!" Meanwhile, Valor quickly sidesteps the beast, and with a deft kick to the legs and a throw, hurls it into the wall, which resounds so loudly that everyone else in the arena can feel the impact.
Lord_Gareth 11-06-06, 04:16 PM	Jaden smiles. "I'm an ass. I'm also a paladin. But, most importantly, I'm a god-slayer." Jaden holds up her hand, and the beam splits, leaving her completely unharmed. She shimmers with holy radiance, and the power coming off of her is palapable. "Now, allow me to demonstrate the foolishness of challenging the Arena Champion." The ever-present clouds in the sky part, and a shaft of light strikes the Arena floor. The very light burns any of evil souls ((Baal, anyone)), but on top of this, streaking stars come shooting down, landing in explosions of holy radiance. Somehow, through the blinding light, Baal and the others can see Jaden pick up her greatsword and run her gauntlet over the edges. "This'll hurt, but it's blunted." Amid shooting stars and light, Jaden LEAPS at Baal, sword coming down, screaming blood and death. ((How's THAT for a display of holy power? And she's HUMAN to boot.))
LivingShadow 11-06-06, 04:38 PM	"Hmm, Valor I think I know where to find Ayik." Shadows form a ball around the monster Valor is fighting and sap its energy while also keeping it in place. "That will hold the beast until Jaden can deal with it, if it lasts that long." "Valor If you are ready I think I can find Ayik."
Lord_Gareth 11-06-06, 04:43 PM	((What, no "HOLY SH*T, HOW DID SHE DO THAT? Come on, she just called down the wrath of the gods, its gotta be impressive looking))
Foxhengeyokai 11-06-06, 04:43 PM	((Scary woman yeesh. But to ignore the pringer beam, not cool... I'll have to use the other three prinny arts...)) Baal gasps again in pain as holy radiance burns his very soul. "Gah.." He sees the greatsword raised to strike and can't react in time to block it. It comes down towards his head, when all of a sudden, columns of black energy come forth from the floor, striking the blade and sending it flying into the celing. Panting, baal says "I... shoulda... known... you were a ..... paladin." Baal bows his head in prayer for a minute and a dripping black hole seems to be ripped in the space of the area, flooding the room with foul ichors, strange structures, and hidous laughter begins to sound from the now stained and moist floors. "Acoutrements of hellish might, come to be and fill me with your dark powers!" Waves of utter evil begin to flow forth from the hole, and streak torwards jaden, while other flow into baal, who begins to grow in size. Now standing at 6'1 1/2, he grips his axe happily. "See, I have the powers of gods as well." Valor, who has gone from amazement at jadens attack, to horror at baals' shakes his head and turns to vicros. "Let's find the kobold."
LivingShadow 11-06-06, 04:49 PM	"That is not shadow magic it's unholy power most people can't tell the difference. Jaden is not like any palidin I've ever seen."
Lord_Gareth 11-06-06, 04:54 PM	"Fine then. Let's see how we do WITHOUT our tricks." She snaps to attention, her palms, flat together, and looks Baal straight in the eye. "Baal, by the power vested in me by my defeat of Becka Strongarm, godess of battle, I challenge you to single combat, as per the rules set down before time itself." The combatants can see the Arena shift. All supernatural effects end, and Jaden and Baal are once more on the floor. But Jaden's changed. She stands there in nothing more than plain brown robes, holding a longsword and a steel kite sheild. "No magic, no flying, no tricks, no spells. Honorable single combat." ((Baal has his axe, if he wants it, but it ain't magic at the moment.)) Jaden charges, sheild raised and longsword scything in to strike. ((Alright, Baal, if he didn't already know, has been imbued with the rules of this challenge. No magic, supernatural effects, or unfair advantages beyond sheer strength or skill may be used. To use one is to end the combat by forfeit, and bring the wrath of the pantheon down upon you. He also knows that Jaden beat Becka in such a duel, and that, as a sign of this, wears Becka's vestments whenever she enters a duel like this. Baal may surrender if he so wishes without losing honor. Doing so will stop Jaden's strike and return all nonlethal magics to their full effect. In any event, his items become magical at the end of the combat))
Foxhengeyokai 11-06-06, 05:16 PM	Baal nods and says "Very well woman. We shall meet on the field of honorable combat." Ball's axe flashes silver in the light and knocks jaden's blade to the side, then returns with spinning cut using the momentum of the backswing.
Lord_Gareth 11-06-06, 05:43 PM	With surprising grace, Jaden dances out of the way and THWACKS Baal on top of the head with her shield. "Come come, you can do better than that." She lashes forward with a series of lightning thrusts and slashes, trying to hem her opponent in.
canman13 11-06-06, 05:44 PM	"are there any competitors for a new battle?" Mishi says
Foxhengeyokai 11-06-06, 06:06 PM	Spinning aside to avoid as many thrusts as he can, baal weaves his axe in and out of jaden's guard, all the while shaking his head to clear it. Seeing an opening, he slips in, swinging the axe low in a feint, then drawing it up high, in an upwards slash. "I still don't think you are a human."
Lord_Gareth 11-06-06, 06:11 PM	Jaden meets the axe with her sword, just under the haft. "I am. I've been around about five thousand years, but still more or less human. YOU need to re-visit your swordmaster, I haven't caught someone in that trick in about a century." ((When I said master swordsman, I meant it. In a fair fight, she could beat Gareth. However, it is her ambition to beat him in an unfair fight.)) She pulls hard on the axe that she has trapped and slams her shield at Baal's head, trying to both disarm him and knock him senseless.
cog_and_taz 11-06-06, 06:20 PM	((mishi... remember that kobold you were fighting? He's not dead yet... I was kinda wondering why the fight stopped.))
thecrazyDM 11-06-06, 06:22 PM	"I'm afraid I can't let you do that. (He's letting out his power! Oh yeah!)" The voice drips with sarcsasm and hisses like a serpent now. "You see, I do not like Ayik, neither does Arkasni, or Greothane, and most of all my master. I do not like you either. But oh whats this! None of them are here. I have you all to myself.:emp: "
Foxhengeyokai 11-06-06, 09:56 PM	Baal falls with the blow, letting his axe go and rolling away from thecrazy fighting skilled woman. "I cannot beat you Jaden. You have won, fairly, and with honor." Baal bows to the victor and waits for the reply.
Lord_Gareth 11-06-06, 09:58 PM	The Arena (and combatants) return to normal. "Well fought, Baal. Now, let's deal with this freak-o monster thing." Jaden walks over to Valor. "What in all Nine Hells IS that?"
cog_and_taz 11-07-06, 08:04 AM	A giant hulking ogre walks into the arena, wearing chainmail and hefting an axe the size of a horse. He walks up to the counter, plops ten gold on it, and says "me thund. Me come here for fight, who want fight?" ((ahhhhhh, this is going to be fun...((
LivingShadow 11-07-06, 08:04 AM	"We fought one of those before, it has acidic blood so be careful if you slash it." In the lobby Vicros creates a swirling portal of shadow to the Catacomb where Ayik is held. "Anyone who wants to help keep Ayik alive can follow me." He then steps on the portal and slowly sinks into it.
cog_and_taz 11-07-06, 08:10 AM	Skraal tosses a blade at mishi before teleporting over to vicros and through the portal "sorry, gotta go, kobold business".
LivingShadow 11-07-06, 08:26 AM	"Welcome Skraal, feeling better from that run in with the dragon."
cog_and_taz 11-07-06, 08:43 AM	"define better, and I'll give ya an answer, won't be a good one though. so, where's our scaly friend?"
Foxhengeyokai 11-07-06, 12:50 PM	Baal looks to the creature and laughs with malice "Hewy jaden, do you want to obliterate it from the multiverse, or shall I?" Valor looks to jaden and to the uberprinny "Miss, this thing is somekind of godspawn, not all that tough though. I need to go help the kobold though.." Valor jumps through the portal
thecrazyDM 11-07-06, 03:09 PM	(No, the creature you can kill, but that was mr airy talking) "Azcorran, follow him." A shadowy form slips into the portal just before it closes. "Now as for you..." (Prepare to fight an evil, rank 6 deity, with the favor of a rank 21 deity.)
LivingShadow 11-07-06, 04:32 PM	"We have a huge problem." Vicros starts casting a spell and releases a huge blast of shadow slicing through the air. "SHADOW SUPERNOVA." He then casts another spell that turns him translucent. ((There is no way that attack can miss unless it is negated.))
Foxhengeyokai 11-07-06, 04:39 PM	((Actually, I'm about done fighting gods and demigods, So, this is goodbye for now... I'll be back eventually... Ciao!)) Valor and baal dissapear all of a sudden, leaving only a small stone behind.
LivingShadow 11-07-06, 04:42 PM	The stone left behind levitates itself to Vicros who pockets it.
thecrazyDM 11-07-06, 04:59 PM	(Valor, are you going to rescue Ayik? I decided only an adult black dragon would be there.) The suit of armor seen earlier (basically windy's physical body) raises its hand. The shadow stops in midair and dissipates. "Time to break out the light." (No he is not a diety of light he merely has very chesy annoying remarks when he is not godmoding...) He claps his hand and you are thrown back, slamming into Jaden's desk with a great force.
LivingShadow 11-07-06, 05:09 PM	"It seems I will have to go to drastic measures. Good thing Valor won't see this." Vicros picks himself up and casts another spell. Worms crawl out of the ground forming a body around him. The body has 8 arms four with claws and four with pincers. "Get out of here I can't control this spell." The body continues forming covering Vicros completely it then turns into the worst nightmare of everything within sight simultaniously. ((Basicly everyone sees it as their own worse nightmare, save or die.))
Lord_Gareth 11-07-06, 05:31 PM	Jaden raises an eyebrow, then clenches her fist, cancelling the nightmare spell. "Naughty, naughty. There's no fighting outside of the Arena Floor." ((I'll say it again, for those who are new or who forgot. THERE IS NO FIGHTING OUTSIDE OF THE ARENA FLOOR. It's literally impossible. Jaden and Gareth can cancel an effect outside the arena floor at will, and can even eject people from the Arena into a random plane. If you REALLY make 'em angry, they can kill you while you are not on the Arena Floor too.)) Jaden looks at the thing. Then, it finds itself on Mechanus. "We won't see them for awhile."
thecrazyDM 11-07-06, 07:16 PM	(BRAWL ON PLANE OF SHADOW THEN!) "Fine if I cannot kill you here... I will kill you on a plane of my nexus of power!" You suddenly find yourself standing in an old room, filled with bones. The air is shadowy and thick. You could literally cut it with a knife. The bones suddenly start to animate.
Lord_Gareth 11-07-06, 07:23 PM	Jaden wastes no time, spreading her hands wide. "ENERGIES OF LIGHT!" ((175th level equivalent Turn Undead. Ouch.))
cog_and_taz 11-08-06, 03:59 AM	((sorry!)) Skraal winks back into the arena, looking tired. "now that that's taken care of, I'm gonna go get some sleep. Let me know if you need a fight, but you'll get a sword in the heart for waking me up whatever happens." The barbarian shambles around the arena, confused. "why no fight? Who Thund fight?"
LivingShadow 11-08-06, 06:18 PM	((It seems I got mixed up, I thougth I was fighting him in the catacomb. And just so you know Jaden just canceled the summoning of a Rank 0 Deity.)) "Oh well time to find Ayik." Vicros disappears and follows Azcorran.
thecrazyDM 11-08-06, 07:56 PM	The shadow turns around and hisses. It charges away, loping like a beast. Meanwhile the skeleton keep coming, it seems as if the spell didn't effect them at all. Suddenly, you hear a sound like clockwork ticking coming from them.
Lord_Gareth 11-08-06, 08:08 PM	"Excellent. Clockwork." Jaden lazily points her glove out and says, "Storm." Magical missle strike the shambling constructs.
LivingShadow 11-09-06, 04:29 PM	Vicros mutters a quick spell and turns incorpreal. He then floats after the creature. The Hellishly mutated figure I introduced earlyer walks over to Thund and hisses to him in a whisper. "I would be willing to fight."
thecrazyDM 11-09-06, 04:59 PM	(There's nothing that hallenges her right?:tie: :headexplo :surrenderWait... Ahhh... :dragon: ) The skeletons drop like flies. "Try fighting someone your own level!" A massive claw suddenly smashes into you. Valor, you hear a bestial snort and a scratchy noise. You duck under a pounce as a shadowy, lionlike figure crashes over you with a frosty feeling.
LivingShadow 11-09-06, 05:01 PM	((Valor isn't here at the moment, I guess you mean Vicros.)) "Shadows eh." Vicros flings a huge bolt of ice blasting a hole in the wall and disintigrating the shadowy figure.
Foxhengeyokai 11-09-06, 05:07 PM	((I have inspiration again! :evillaugh)) LIGHTING CRASHES, AND THE DOOR ARE FLUNG WIDE.[/SIZE] In walks a man who leans heavilly on a cane, he has a tortured look on his face. He is garbed in what must have been the clothes of a noble ages ago, now they are rags. For those with exceptional vision, a seemingly animate black shadow can be seen taking the place where his shadow should be. He coughs violently and in a strained voice asks, "Is this the arena? I would like to sign up for a deathmatch, hopefully that can end my pain. Of course.." He begins coughing again and his hand comes away from his face. A few drops of blood can be seen on it. Scowling, he wipes it on his tattered cloak. It's a strange looking thing, obviously it was grand and worth a fortune at one time, but now it's merely a few rags. "I'd like to sign up for a match under the elite class." Powerful coughs begin to wrack his body and he trembles with their force.
LivingShadow 11-09-06, 05:11 PM	((I guess since you decided to add a char.)) The hellishly mutated figure (to be refered to as Kur'Sha) turns to the new entrant. "I think I can end your suffering." He deposits his 10 gp on the desk.
Foxhengeyokai 11-09-06, 05:24 PM	Still coughing and in obvious pain, the stranger looks towards the thing adressing him and asks "What are you?"
LivingShadow 11-09-06, 05:29 PM	"If I told you I would have to kill you." ((It's a template I found on the boards.))
canman13 11-09-06, 05:31 PM	mishi is silent in the stands wau=iting for a competitor to fight her she thinks to her self who is this guy?????
Foxhengeyokai 11-09-06, 05:34 PM	Turning to mishi, he seems to smile for a less than a second. "You miss, will you fight me? I can't bring myself to kill a flower like you, so knock out is fine." He begins to cough again, and sways on his feet for a minute. "I'm fine."
canman13 11-09-06, 05:36 PM	" ok" she says (( this is may be my last post here tonight))
Foxhengeyokai 11-09-06, 05:39 PM	Still looking dizzy, the man walks onto the combat floor and waits patiently.
SquirrelMortis 11-11-06, 12:03 PM	Wilt sits in a corner looking both moody and wary at the same time. "Where's that blasted imbecile Kaken? No where close, I hope." He rapps his fist on the table. Two freshly killed dwarf zombies lumber forward. "More quori made mead, I am thinking."
LivingShadow 11-11-06, 06:55 PM	To Wilt "Try this It's a brew of my own devising." A bottle filled with black liquid floats up to Wilt. "It is made with shadow grapes so I don't think you would have had it before."
cog_and_taz 11-11-06, 09:03 PM	Skraal strolls back into the arena, looking rather less tired. He sneaks up to wilt and taps him on the shoulder. "oi, compost! Haven't seen you around in a while... so, since when can plants drink? Honestly, I thought I had the monopoly on fun stuff around here, everyone else being a plant or a paladin. You know what? I don't even know which is more tiresome... anyway, how 'bout a match after you're done drinking that? Oh, and you might want to patch that hole or your mead is going to leak."
Foxhengeyokai 11-12-06, 01:29 PM	The man is still waiting...
Lord_Gareth 11-12-06, 01:39 PM	Jaden looks down at the Arena floor. "This is the stupidest thing I've seen since a pair of blind ogres took two days to find the arena floor." "Good sir, care to face a Gladiator?"
SquirrelMortis 11-12-06, 02:01 PM	"Indeed, will we fight once more, scaly tush," crows Wilt, grabbing the floating glass of drink without thanks. "Remind me to name my son after you, Skraal," said Wilt, sneering, sipping mead and shadow grape essence at once. Kaken strolls into the room, seeing Wilt. "WILT! You lying mangy litttle piece of rotten root, get over here!" Wilt shrinks into his seat, mumbling about this and that. "Look Kaken, I never said I really would atone for my bad deeds it's just-- "Wilt, you're trying my patience!" boomed Kaken. Wilt get's up, sighs, and without looking back, runs straight into a misty looking portal. Kaken yells and follows. The portal closes around Kaken with a snap, and Wiilt reapears, leaning on Skraal. "Idjit, He walked right into my private impregnable extradimensional pocket!"
cog_and_taz 11-12-06, 11:09 PM	Skraal strolls into the arena and mounts his weasel. "ready when you are..."
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 01:03 AM	The man vanishes, leaving behind only a small piece of steel.
thecrazyDM 11-13-06, 03:19 PM	You hear a shout from down the corridor. (I'm thinking a sort of Harry Potter challenges thing, maybe a mirror thrown in. And not just any mirror...:evillaugh )
LivingShadow 11-13-06, 04:38 PM	"Nice trick Wilt."
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 04:46 PM	((It looks as if I have been struck by indecision. Well.... NO MORE! I pledge to make at least one post here a day from now on.) The stone in vicros' pocket begins glowing red hot, as if lit by a phaetons flame. The heat soon becomes unbearable.... In a burst of darkness, and what sounds like a legion of screams, the man from earlier reappears, rising like a cloud of darkness from that piece of steel. "Hmm... that young lady wouldn't end it for me... Very well, I'll find another." With that, he walks out of the combat area and waits in the lobby.
LivingShadow 11-13-06, 04:56 PM	Kur'sha walks up to the man. "I'll reinstate my offer."
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 05:10 PM	The man looks at the odd being and smiles. "Very well... let us begin shortly, shall we?" He walks back to the place he was before. He is leaning heavily on his staff.
LivingShadow 11-13-06, 05:13 PM	Kur'sha walks to his place in the arena and gets ready for battle.
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 05:20 PM	The magic mouth announces the start of the match, and all of a sudden, a wave of terrible agony rolls from the man, who seems to stand taller. He points his staff at kur'sha and from it comes a buzzing sound, as millions of tiny insects fly from it, surrounding kur'sha and blocking his view.
LivingShadow 11-13-06, 05:26 PM	Kur'sha draws a huge sword from a bag of holding at his waist. ((Colossal sized and he can legally wield it. One size for the template, two for feats, another two for the sword iteself.)) He then swings it at the general position of the man.
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 05:32 PM	The sword comes down, shattering bones and rending the flesh of.. nothing. The man is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, kur'sha sees his shadow reach tendrils up towards his skull and hears a kind of babble which threatens to drive him insane... Also a gigantic hand made of force appears from nowhere, and balled up in a fist, flies towards him... ((Oh yeah, since you had to bring up board stuff... here is the man's PrC.. http://boards1.wizards.com/leaving.php?destination=http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D735843))
LivingShadow 11-13-06, 05:36 PM	Kur'sha parrys the fist and jumps up int the air. the babbling does't have any affect on him. "I thought as much. It seems I will need my full power."
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 05:53 PM	((Behold, the reason I love casters...)) As kur'sha flies into the air three things happen, first his shadow flies upward to meet him, still babbling and this time trying to tear his sanity away from him. Secondly, the glove opens up it's plams and flies towards him. Thirdly, he hits an invisible wall. That pain is still there, pounding at his temples and soul, feeling like a burning iron being pressed against his mind...
LivingShadow 11-13-06, 06:01 PM	Kur'sha ignores his shadow, stops when he hits the wall, and stabs his sword into the hand allowing those who are watching to see the sword. It is fiendishly decorated with a blinking eye that shows malevolent inteligence just at the base of the blade.
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 06:10 PM	As the blade bites into the hand, the hand seems to shrink, and begins doing everything it can to touch kur'sha, the cloud of insects he seems to be ignoring fall away from him and vanish as well. A HUGE wave of pain and agony sweeps over kur'sha as well.
thecrazyDM 11-13-06, 06:30 PM	(Please post for valor. Please. I have no active characters.)
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 06:53 PM	((MWAHAHA! Never!)) With a sound like heavenly singing, Valor reappears. ABout 20 feet off the ground. He hits the ground with a loud crash. One barrage of profanity later... "Oh hey guys, I'm back."
cog_and_taz 11-13-06, 08:13 PM	" A paladin? Cursing? wow, so you are real after all!" Skraal says with a grin.
Lord_Gareth 11-13-06, 08:18 PM	Jaden looks down. "Valor, you swear like that again and I'll kick you in your manhood so hard that you'll have to manifest a female form for at least a century."
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 08:18 PM	"Of course I'm real, what did you take me for, a flummph?"
cog_and_taz 11-13-06, 08:48 PM	"nah, a paladin, actually.Doesn't help you though, most paladins are about as realistic as a flumph. Now the worst bit is that there's quite a few who are both..."
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 08:56 PM	"Ah true enough. But you know, all the fluuph paladins i've met are rather one-sided."
Lord_Gareth 11-13-06, 09:00 PM	Jaden LEAPS down and lands next to Valor in a cloud of dust and rocks. She grabs the young man, painfully, by the back of the neck. "Alright kid, Gareth wants me to take your training in hand. Lesson one in the School of Hard Hits begins NOW."
Foxhengeyokai 11-13-06, 09:13 PM	((Last one for tonight.)) "Ow, ow, ow! Um, when did I sign up for this again?"
Lord_Gareth 11-13-06, 09:16 PM	"When Shiro told Gareth to kick your ass. Now, let's get into the Arena proper so I can continue your lessons. Consider this Dirty Fighting 101. First lesson: Go for the eyes." Jaden drags her reluctant student to the center of the arena, where the walls of force kick in. She lets Valor go. "Now, draw." She draws her weapon. "And let's begin. Keep it nonlethal."
Foxhengeyokai 11-14-06, 12:57 AM	Mumbling something along the lines of "I knew I should have attended the ceremony," Valor draws his longsword fluidly from its sheath and begins circling around jaden, looking for an opening. Not finding one, he switches tactics. "Allright, I see now." Taking a quick step forwards, valor quickly thrusts his blade towards jaden, seeking to lock blades with her. Knowing he can't match her strength, (yet) valor slams his sheild forwards.
LivingShadow 11-15-06, 04:32 PM	As the blade bites into the hand, the hand seems to shrink, and begins doing everything it can to touch kur'sha, the cloud of insects he seems to be ignoring fall away from him and vanish as well. A HUGE wave of pain and agony sweeps over kur'sha as well. Kur'sha pauses for a second then laughs. "I have felt worse than that old man." He then does his best to dodge the hand and sweeps the entire arena with his blade which starts flaming. Vicros casts a locate person on Ayik then turns incorpreal and glides down the corridor.
Foxhengeyokai 11-15-06, 04:56 PM	The blade sweeps through the arena and connects on something solidly. a brown ooze seems to travel up the length of the blade, quickly working it's way towards kur'sha and sucking the heat out of the blade and quickly freezing the air around kur'sha. A voice can be heard coming from kur'sha's clothes "You cannot win, and as soon as this ooze reaches your heart, you will perish without fail." The air seems to hum as 4 bolts of lightning bound off the walls, each heading towards kur'sha... It seems to be not only the normal blueish lightning, but it has red lines running through it as well...
LivingShadow 11-15-06, 05:06 PM	"I have no heart." He dodges the lightning and swings to the origin of the lightning.
Foxhengeyokai 11-15-06, 05:26 PM	((You fell for it.)) As Kur'sha dodges the lightning and swings at the origin point, he is hit squarely in the back by a large ball of fire/acid/lightning/sonic/frost. Mocking laughter is heard as well as this "Foolish, feel the wrath of my hellball!" Across the room, standing upside down on the ceiling the man can be seen breathing hard. The shadow from earlier joins him and seems to coat him, almost becoming one.
Prak, the Mad 11-15-06, 05:27 PM	((okay, I read up to page 11, then noticed this thing is already 55 pages long, so, since I want to begin posting sometime this year, I'll start now, and catch up on the missed pages as I have time, so, if I've missed anything particularly important, please forgive me.)) ((... is there even anyone in the lobby at the moment?)) A cloaked figure enters the building, his face unseen within the pitch black utter lack of light within his hood. A 5 foot long sword hangs on his back paired with a 10 foot long piece of stout wood. "This the place? doesn't look like much..." a raspy, somewhat weaselly voice issues, not quite from within the cloak, in truth, just over the man's shoulder. "Hush, pigspitter, our hosts would likely look poorly upon your insults, and I tire of them perpetually. Largos, I think it's okay for you to come in, watch your head." the man addresses someone from outside, then a bone-white horse, streaked with blue, and 16 feet tall at the withers walks in, it's mane a fine rime and a fog surrounding it's hooves. "Where'd K'thon go?" "He had to get dressed and make apologies to a young woman for having to leave, he should be in shortly." The horse intones, his voice like a chilling wind upon a mountain peak. "I'm here Gardos, the lady understood quite readily, since I promised to make it up to her..." a second cloaked figure enters, "Move your titanic ass, Largos, people still have to get in the door way..." The horse moves forward a bit muttering some abyssal epithetin K'thon's direction. "anyone here?" the three figures, for those who are detecting, all register as evil, along with a fourth evil aura. Gardos also registers as undead. There are two overwhelming and two minor auras of evil.
LivingShadow 11-15-06, 05:36 PM	Kur'sha dodges the ball to avoid the worst of the blast however one more hit will do him in. ((His HP is approximatly 740 so he would survive.)) "You're not the only one who can do hellball." He swings his sword so it is vertical and from the eye streaks a ball of energy just like that which was just used on him.
Foxhengeyokai 11-15-06, 05:50 PM	The hellball smacks into the man, who dissapears. That hand from earlier... is still around and is bare inches away from touching kur'sha's left side. "Impressive, few weapons can do such things, but had I know that magical artifacts were permitted here, I wouldn't have spent quite so much time here..." the voice is coming from the other side of the arena this time. He pulls out a small glass sphere and hurls it to the ground. it shatters and unleashes a wave of grass shrubs and trees that overgrows the area like a tsunami. "This is called the orb of verdigris, I trust you are familiar with it's effects?" The walls of force are suddenly coated with in vines and creepers. The plants are closing in fast...
LivingShadow 11-15-06, 06:00 PM	"Yes it is an artifact, and no they aren't banned." He holds up his sword to intersept the wave with the blade hitting the hand in the process. ((Last post for now.))
Foxhengeyokai 11-15-06, 06:16 PM	((Did you just try to stop a verdigris tsunami with a sword?)) The plantwave easily goes around the blade...
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 12:47 AM	Jaden takes the shield shot on the chest and lets go with one hand, which she promptly jabs into Valor's eyes. "Told you."
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 03:34 PM	Valor doesn't even flinch, instead he keeps his eyes closed and shoots his leg out, aiming for jaden's ankles, all the while moving his blade in a zigzag pattern aiming for thighs and the stomach, of course this is merely a feint with the real attack coming in a fast arc angled at jaden's left shoulder.
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 03:39 PM	Jaden smirks, the bait taken. Planting her sword into the ground, she uses it as a fulcrum to flip over her student most spectacularly. "Lesson two: If your opponent tells you what they're doing, they're lieing." Jaden physically lifts Valor and HURLS him. ((Hehe. She's had a few centuries to perfect her dirty tricks :) ))
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 04:07 PM	Catching a small clasp in his armor, it falls away and he lands in a crouch. "Ok then, I'll use that neat nekodo that one girl taught me." Valor changes his stance, throwing away his shield and holding his longsword one handed. He is now nimbly bouncing around on the balls of each heel and moving swiftly, never resting his weight on any one point for long. "I know a few tricks too..." Valor springs fowards, blade singing through the air and planting itself in the ground, valor uses it as a springboard to launch a impressive flying kick into jadens midsection, twisting in the air to bring another leg in for a kick as well. EDIT: ((If you've ever played soul calibur, think of the stance kinda like xianghua's only a bit faster and with more foot movement.))
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 04:26 PM	((HATE XIANGUA! SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!)) Jaden, quite literally, just steps out of the way. "Kid, get the basics before the fancy stuff. Do you see me do fancy things? No. I've mastered the basics." Jaden slams a fist in the general direction of Valor's crotch (strength 45). ((By the way, if you wonder HOW she can do that, keep in mind that she's fought nonstop for a few thousand years. By the way, she typically fights like Nightmare.))
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 04:32 PM	Valor places both hands on jadens fist, wrapping his legs around it and pulling with all of his stregnth. (40)
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 04:47 PM	((Go with the flow, as they say)) Jaden uses the momentum from Valor's pull to flip up and over, grabbing the boy's arm and landing feet first. She brings the arm with the unfortunate paladin down in a vicious smash, which she follows up on with a slam from a shortsword pommel ((Hurray quick draw!))
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 05:03 PM	"Oof" Valor shakes his head and springs up like a cat.
Prak, the Mad 11-16-06, 05:03 PM	hearing the shouting and clashing in the arena Gardosen and K'thon walk out to the stands, Largos sticks his head out to see what's going on. "Might any of you be the owner of this fine establishment?" Gardosen yells down
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 05:20 PM	Without looking up, Jaden shouts back "No, but I'm in charge at the moment. What can I do you for?" Jaden charges, both swords in hand, only to pivot on her heel just before striking distance and swerve sideways, bringing a pommel into Valor's gut and another pommel arcing towards his head. "Lesson three: A charge isn't always a charge!"
Prak, the Mad 11-16-06, 05:38 PM	"we'd like to enquire about matches, we shall wait till you're done toying with him!" Gardosen says, "Meanwhile I think my associates and I will stay up here, away from the good people and their weapons..." "What are you worried about, Gardos? you'r-" "hush K'thon... if they don't know, they don't have to..." "Well you pretty much gave it away..." Gardosen sighs, "I'm sure they're very professional, we are in a town after all..." ((is there anyone in the arena who isn't registering as good?))
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 05:43 PM	((yes there is at least one person radiating an OVERWHELMING aura of evil... of course, this is coming from a small 3'8 penguin carrying a large greataxe on his back, with four tentacles sprouting out of it. Oh yeah, if you pick a fight with him... unless you can take on jaden, it's not that great of an idea...))
Prak, the Mad 11-16-06, 05:47 PM	((yes there is at least one person radiating an OVERWHELMING aura of evil... of course, this is coming from a small 3'8 penguin carrying a large greataxe on his back, with four tentacles sprouting out of it. Oh yeah, if you pick a fight with him... unless you can take on jaden, it's not that great of an idea...)) ((...tentacle penguin? you wouldn't happen to know someone by the name of Sue Roberson, or her bf Nick(i have no idea what his last name is...), would you?)) ((are you serious? cause I wouldn't put it past this group...))
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 05:52 PM	Valor grunts, then brings his hands together keeping the blade in a defensive stance. He frowns, then returns the blade to its sheath in a fancy motion. reaching into his pocket, he pulls out a small pair of black handled knives, each of them glimmering silver in the light, and both serrated. Spinning in an amazingly fast movement he quickly closes the distance, and a few strikes bounce off jadens armor, while others are mere feints, telling them apart at this point is at least marginally difficult for even jaden. While still spinning, his blades tracing a whirlwind of adamantine, he shoots out a leg at jaden's sternum.... ((EDIT: The tentacle penguin is a homemade creation of mine, the result of applying the pseudonatural and paragon templates to a prinny http://boards1.wizards.com/leaving.php?destination=http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D720466 and adding a few levels of fighter and blackgaurd. I have no clue who those people are though, sorry))
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 06:03 PM	Jaden smiles "Good. Counter short weapons with other short weapons if I'm in your reach. However.." Jaden clicks her heels together, and she dimension doors several feet away. She hurls her blades at Valor and closes in, intending to fight unarmed. She opens up with a vicious roundhouse kick aimed at his head.
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 06:15 PM	Valor quickly drops both weapons and barely manages to block jandens kick with his forearm. Taking up the nekodo stance again, valor quickly feinting and moving around the arena. Valor brings his hands together and fans them out, with a look of concentration on his face...
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 06:19 PM	Jaden wastes no time and flies into a barrage of punches and kicks to disrupt the spell. "Magic in combat is LATER. Learn the basics first."
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 06:22 PM	((Aww, I wanted to use a ki blast... but no... also, is garet gonna react to the remnaants of a material plane being hurled at him and his dragon, or are they simply toast now? Krede's is waiting...)) Valor ducks the barrage of blows and says "It wasn't a spell, it was just a simple defense stance... or couldn't you tell?" Valor responds in turn by crouching low to the ground and thrusting his foot upwards towards jaden's chin.
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 06:28 PM	Jaden headbutts Valor's foot with her helmet. "I'm not a monk, fool. How in the hell would I know?" ((Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe))
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 06:31 PM	((Valor didn't use any kind of punch)
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 06:32 PM	((*ninja edit*))
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 06:33 PM	((isn't jaden a woman?))
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 06:35 PM	((My ninjitsu (NOT JUTSU! NARUTO GOT THE F***ING WORD WRONG) is strong today))
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 06:39 PM	Valors iron hard foot strikes the helmet and causes jadens head to ring with he force of the blow. Valor quickly regains his balance and flip backwards a few times, until he is about 30 feet away. With a few hand movements, he takes a defensive stance and waits. ((He cannot be moved right now, even by a god... or godslayer.)) Valor resumes the stance he had earlier too, fannign his hands out anf focusing.
thecrazyDM 11-16-06, 06:47 PM	You feel a weak pulse from down the corridor, showing that Ayik is badly hurt. (-1 hit points but in state sus. animation) You run down the hall and see a mirror. A mirror with ebony, demonic inlays on one side, and ivory celestial symbols on the other.
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 06:49 PM	Jaden smiles. "Next lesson: Magic in combat. Case in point: Spiritual weapon." A large, and I mean VERY LARGE warhammer materializes in Jaden's hands, which she swings at Valor after a short charge (VERY LARGE). "If ye've got the weight, throw it around!"
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 06:51 PM	As the hammer approaches, a blast of energy comes from valors hands, hitting the weapon head on and stopping it in its tracks. "Gah, oops, I used to much..." Valor shakes his head and falls down in a slump. He is still moving though, just having trouble getting up.
thecrazyDM 11-16-06, 06:52 PM	A man appears in the arena. He throws a platinum piece on the desk and leaves a gold for a tip. He walks to the arena and speaks in a strange tongue, but he seems to be criticizing Valor positivvely. "No tike readat F'Ed'Gerat. Ouy freeth aver creatella?"
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 07:02 PM	Jaden, knowing full well that she can't kill her student, swings her hammer down with full force. "This'll hurt!" ((by the way, this too is intended as a lesson))
thecrazyDM 11-16-06, 07:12 PM	The man leans over the balcony and looks around, scanning minds and alignments, and looking for a certain person... In the lobby a man falls on his head from nowhere. He wakes up ,pulls his head out of the rather large crater and seals it. He then staggers to his feet and assumes a casual pose, then falls unconscious. Again.
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 07:12 PM	Valor rolls out of the way just in time, managing only to catch a small nick by the handle of hammer. Springing up again, valor quickly sprints to his longsword and scoops it up whirling around to face jaden. "You know, just because these wards are up doesn't mean I wanna get hit with that thing!" Valor calls out to his deity of the day.. "Oh laughing dragon and messenger of io, grant me the boon of your armor!" Valor's skin quickly takes on a bronze hue. Yelling to the man with the odd tongue, "My draconic is a little rusty, but thanks!"
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 07:16 PM	"Alright. This isn't technically dirty fighting, but it's valuable skill. Now, in about five seconds, I'll no longer be responsible for my actions." Valor can feel it. Jaden's wrestling with her own mind, and a barrier is breached. Her expression changes visibly. Rage contorts her face, and she hefts the hammer as though it were nothing. Screaming blood and death, Jaden whirls to the attack. ((Jaden's raging. Actually, she's frenzying. Twice as bad!))
thecrazyDM 11-16-06, 07:17 PM	"It wasn't draconic young one." (He has the right to call him young, he is approximately 15,324,599 years old.) He turns and sees the man, he then slaps his face. "Why could'nt I have gotten a student that could actually use the Reithgate properly and not have his head in a wall every time." he whispers.
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 07:25 PM	((Frenzy=no use of dex based skills.. like oh say balance! :evillaugh)) "Oh crap, come on now, you must be kidding right? Heh, this is easy as pie now." Valor simply casts a grease spell and jaden falls.
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 07:30 PM	((Number 1: You can still make Reflex Saves, like against Grease. Number 2: She's spinning with a ten-foot warhammer straight at him Number 3: Boots of Spider Climbing. Negates Grease)) Heedless of the magical lard, Jaden comes at Valor, already superhuman strength augumented by deep-seated, psychologically unhealthy rage. Valor can feel it coming out of her mind in waves, a rage that has long been repressed. From the feeling coming from her, he gets a sense of dread. Jaden won't be able to stop. ((She THOUGHT it would be harmless. Now she can't stop. Somebody, knock this woman out!))
thecrazyDM 11-16-06, 07:30 PM	The man staggers to the door. "I could use a handshowww." He falls unconscious again." The man slams his head into the wall, half decimating it. "I would be embarrassed if I din't lose my embarassment 3 millenia ago. But I can still be frustrated ya know, not is you care anyway." He looks toward Valor. "Hey, sorry to bother you but where is the nearest hospital!"
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 07:35 PM	Valor quickly pulls out a small black sphere and beans jaden with it, it quickly gros and entraps her. Valor then runs over to the KO'ed guy and lays his hands on him, healing him of any injuries he has. "You remind me of a person I once saw called Nup-nup"
thecrazyDM 11-16-06, 07:39 PM	"Nup-Nup? No, I came here looking here looking for a person named Ayik. He, I, and my... mentally challenged student are members of a guild, our meeting is supposed to be here. You seen him?"
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 07:44 PM	((this is what happens when you fail to specify the spell)) With a soul-splitting roar, the black sphere shatters, and Jaden charges from it, swinging her hammer straight at Valor with murderous intent. ((Best.Training. Ever. :) ))
thecrazyDM 11-16-06, 07:46 PM	"PACRETAGE" Jaden feels all anger drain from her in one burst of ancient, cryptic magic.
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 07:49 PM	"Aww, crap." Valor smirks for a moment then reaches out a hand towards jaden, taking a major hit to the ribs but managing to still keep standing. As his hand makes contact, all emotion in jaden is replaced with a warm fuzzt feeling that steals all the rage and frenzy away. Valor then buckles, and falls to the ground.
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 07:52 PM	((I'm sorry, but she's released roughly seven thousand years of pent-up hatred. Calm Emotions ain't doin' jack.)) Unaffected by the attempts to calm her rage, Jaden slams the hammer into ((whoever DM is playing at the moment)) and drops it, moving forward to attack Valor barehanded. ((May I suggest someone running to get either A. Shiro or B. Gareth?))
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 07:59 PM	((It wasn't calm emotions, try an epic spell specially designed by lastai... "Caress of the joyous gods.))
Lord_Gareth 11-16-06, 08:01 PM	((Can it handle seven thousand years of pent-up rage, hatred, frustration, and PMS, all let out at once?))
SquirrelMortis 11-16-06, 08:03 PM	Wilt wipes his brow. Atleast he had gotten rid of that idiot Kaken. Not permanently, he was to powerful for that. But, for the moment, Wilt was left tp his relative peace. He sighed. He was still stuck with that arrogant Captain Amars and that annoying little kobold skraal. Yet, they didn't have the power to squish him into a messy pulp (or at least, not as easily as Kaken).
Foxhengeyokai 11-16-06, 08:08 PM	((It could do far more than that. It is actually designed as the ultimate death spell, one that promises eternal pleasure, even as it kills the target, of course, valor didn't go so far as to use the full killing version... although at this point it would have killed a few prismatic dragons...))
Prak, the Mad 11-17-06, 03:57 AM	((EDIT: The tentacle penguin is a homemade creation of mine, the result of applying the pseudonatural and paragon templates to a prinny http://boards1.wizards.com/leaving.php?destination=http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D720466 and adding a few levels of fighter and blackgaurd. I have no clue who those people are though, sorry)) ((ah, well, tentacle penguins are something of an inside joke in our weekly WtA game...) "I could make several jokes about the fair lady in charge of this place at the moment..." Gardosen remarks idly as he and K'thon watch the training "how much do you like your cold, undead balls?" K'thon replies "rather much, which is why I have yet to make any such jokes..." gardosen says, "you wanna save the boy?" "why? it's been a while since we had a good meal..." "Yes, and the boy looks rather tasty..." Largos chimes in "well, the sooner someone knocks her out ad subsequently revives her, the sooner we can find out about this establishment" gardosen explains. "Slit 'em both up the middle and drink deep!" a raspy, weaselly voice says. "Quiet Pigspitter, you will taste flesh soon enough" Gardosen bade, looking slightly over his shoulder. "Well, if I must..." K'thon reluctantly said "Careful, she looks amazingly powerful..." Gardosen warned his friend, putting a red gloved hand on the figure's cloaked shoulder. "I'll figure something out..." K'thon said, beginning to crawl head first down the wall of the arena before disappearing from sight, then reappearing as valor's spell takes effect on Jaden.
blacktechknight 11-17-06, 05:10 AM	Standing at Seven feet, and six inches tall, a creature that many would immediately call a Demon, strides into the Lobby, though it appears no one is there at the moment. This creature bears wings, leathery and a very light brown, with a tinge of green. It has a pair of three-jointed legs, with three large toes that terminate in massive talons, as well as a tail that is equally as long as it is tall. It wears a black loin-cloth, held up by a wide and thick, black leather belt. It carries a single weapon, a sword that is exactly as long as it is tall. It is a German Landsknecht, and the blade bears many red runes. The creature, is in fact a Gargoyle, though the explaination for why it is walking, and flesh during the day, is it's business alone. From it's head sprouts blood-red hair, that goes half-way down it's back. It's already orange eyes, emanate what looks like smoke, and a heat distortion. A small pouch of gold hangs from it's belt. It's face is strong, calm, and solid as freshly chisled marble. Though there is more to this creature than meets the eye. It has one secret in it's sleeve, and many tricks. Any one who looks carefully, and beyond the visible level, will know that it has lived a -very- long life. The creature would seem evil by appearance, but it is indeed not so dark. It's name, is Maelificius Hellgaze, and it fans it's wings irritatedly. He raises his large hand, and brushes some stray hair back behind his ears. His hands terminate in five fingers, with massive and very sharp claws. ((Greetings, Prak. Lord_Gareth, the character that I present unto you, is classified as Elite. And about a quarter of the way up that final ladder, to boot. So no, he's not invincible, but damn is he hard to kill! Anyway, if you want further details, I will share them with you. Though I'd prefer them kept to a PM, if that is possible...?))
thecrazyDM 11-17-06, 12:26 PM	The hammer passes through the man and he turns and looks at her, repeating the word, Again draining all anger. (My spell basically opens a miniature portal to the plane of positive energy and all bad emotions go out, and the recipient receives bliss at the same time. Not powerful enough to kill though. That word is Heerohgheerna, a combiNATION.)
LivingShadow 11-17-06, 04:50 PM	((Did you just try to stop a verdigris tsunami with a sword?)) The plantwave easily goes around the blade... ((Not just any sword it is a +16 Keen, Anarchist, Unholy, Vampiric, Flame Burst(modified to half fire, half unholy), Human Bane Colossal Greatsword of Speed and Wounding. A link to the stats (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=9468822&postcount=282) He is using the complete version.)) Kur'sha ends up caught in the plants but still alive. "I guess it would be best to consede." You feel a weak pulse from down the corridor, showing that Ayik is badly hurt. (-1 hit points but in state sus. animation) You run down the hall and see a mirror. A mirror with ebony, demonic inlays on one side, and ivory celestial symbols on the other. An image of the mirror appears infront of Valor. "I found this when looking for Ayik, my guess is that he is inside." Vicros tries to locate Ayik again to double check.
thecrazyDM 11-17-06, 05:36 PM	The pulse is still down the corridor. Your reflection smiles, and says "Wrong guess big boy." The mirror shatters, and demonic version of yourself bursts out. (Same stats same spells, but with the half fiend template.)
SquirrelMortis 11-17-06, 06:57 PM	Wilt walks up to the new arrival. "Hello there, sir. I am the Wilted One, more commonly known as Wilt, a necromancer of great reknown." He leans of his thorn coated staff, watching the gargoyle with mild interest.
Foxhengeyokai 11-17-06, 08:15 PM	((First off, valor is out cold... And now for something completely different. THe woman's speech will be in *these* Shiro's will be in "these")) In a flash, both shiro and a newcomer, who is obviously of the same race as shiro, although black furred, dressed in heavy armor and cruel looking and female appear. She has shiro by the scruff of the neck and casts him to the ground with as much effort as jaden would use to kill a goblin. "Gah, what are you doing here?! I told you I was going to take care of it." *Silence!* Shiro quickly stands up and shakes the dust off of his clothes. "But should I take care of it here?" *I don't care if it demolishes this entire plane, you WILL finish it, regardless of circumstances.*
Lord_Gareth 11-17-06, 10:33 PM	Jaden snaps out of her rage as Valor's spell finally kicked in ((compromised with a delayed effect)). "What the hell? Shiro, what's going on here?" She advances semi-menacingly, hammer in hand. ((By the way, the hammer is a Great Maul, the favored weapon of Tassadanis, home-brewed god of Justice))
blacktechknight 11-18-06, 02:26 AM	Maelificius turns his attention and infernal gaze onto Wilt. He nods silently. He speaks with a definite accent, though it cannot exactly be placed. However, it is not Eastern. "I am Maelificius." He says no more, though he twitches his tail a bit.
LivingShadow 11-18-06, 07:47 AM	The pulse is still down the corridor. Your reflection smiles, and says "Wrong guess big boy." The mirror shatters, and demonic version of yourself bursts out. (Same stats same spells, but with the half fiend template.) ((Figures)) "Begone." Shadows rise up and wrap around the image's limbs and slowly pull it into the ground. Vicros starts heading down the corridor in the direction of the pulse. "I'll deal with you later." ((The image can't move and teleporting is redirected to the sargasso of entropy.))
Foxhengeyokai 11-18-06, 01:02 PM	Shiro turns his head and says "Jaden, may I ask you a favor? I can't explain this now, but I'll need access to the godlike arena, as what I need to do now is so dangerous that I wouldn't dare try it anywhere else." *So, all this running and a simple threat was all it takes to get to do what I want? You've grown soft.... my son.*
Lord_Gareth 11-18-06, 03:07 PM	Jaden raises an eyebrow. "Shiro, the arena is the same for everyone. The difference is the gladiators you happen to fight. If you want to use the arena, drop the gold in the can and walk in like everyone else."
thecrazyDM 11-19-06, 09:10 AM	You see a man down the corridor. He turns. Now, I am going to tell you to imagine a Borg and a lich mashed together and you will get this creature. It smiles. "Well youre certainly lost, maybe I should helpp you out! Fiyr Contik!" Fire spins around you, burning and spinning you, then a pulse of flame blasts you back ten feet, crashing into the remnants of the mirror.
canman13 11-19-06, 11:58 AM	mishi starts cheering
LivingShadow 11-19-06, 12:47 PM	The fare created by the creature swirls around Vicros and then slowly absorbs into his body. "I'm not lost but you are out of your league." He then flings a huge crackling bolt of electricity back at it. ((It is a lightning bolt spell using both the level of the spells absorbed and Vicros's caster level added together as the caster lvl for the spell.))
Foxhengeyokai 11-19-06, 05:42 PM	Shiro frowns. "So, you are telling me the wards are the same, even at that level of power? This can't be good."
Lord_Gareth 11-19-06, 06:45 PM	"Shiro, if you can get through the physical walls of the Arena, then nothing in the multiverse could contain your battle. As it stands, I'm inclined to send both of you to the bottom of the river Styx to settle your differences before the 'no fighting outside the floor' rule is broken."
Foxhengeyokai 11-19-06, 08:02 PM	Shiro shakes his head. "I have no intention of fighting my mother, what I need to do is summon a "demon" as it were. I just don't know if the arena can contain it, nor do I know how strong this one has gotten. Last I faced it, it destroyed my body so thoroughly that it took me ten millenia to reform."
Lord_Gareth 11-19-06, 08:08 PM	"Well then. Off to Styx with ye!" With a pass of her hand, which now contains her Arena badge, both Shiro and his mother vanish. "That could have gotten ugly."
Foxhengeyokai 11-19-06, 08:19 PM	((Well, that was friendly of jaden...))
Lord_Gareth 11-19-06, 08:22 PM	((She's an ass, what can I say? She's always been an ass. Actually, she's been an ass for the past 5000 years or so.))
Foxhengeyokai 11-20-06, 03:58 PM	((Ok then... stand by for a massive battle.... i'll guess about 1K words or so long.))
Mr_Fox 11-20-06, 06:30 PM	((Oh yeah, sorry about the double post, but I had to change my screen name. I've about had it with everyone calling me a female, ya know? Anyways... this is still foxhengeyokai... and I'm still working on that fight scene...))
Lord_Gareth 11-20-06, 06:31 PM	((Still! And how do they get back from the bottom of Styx?))
Mr_Fox 11-20-06, 09:05 PM	Deep in the lower planes, both Shiro and his mother appear with a flash. Quickly snapping their fingers, they travel to a shore of the styx… They are on a wide flat expanse of land, which is dried up, shriveled, and altogether barren. A foul wind blows though both of their hair causing them both to shiver. A blackened tumbleweed rolls lazily in front of them. Shiro’s mother shoots him a cold glance and says *You know what is expected of you, now do it.* Shiro sighs and responds “Very well mother, I suppose I can no longer delay this, can I?” Shiro sighs once more and concentrates, filling the air with magical energy. “Powers of darkness and hatred, once more I summon your might! Bring forth your strongest of messengers, Shiro-no-oni!” The wind dies down, and the magical energies shiro was using flow into the ground and the air. As they energies mingle with the very fabric of the plane, they turn a color very similar to Shiro’s own energy. This energy however is a sickened and corrupted color, as if it were long since poisoned and twisted into an unholy mockery. *You cannot run anymore my son; you must do what is right, even if it kills you.* “I’m not a child anymore mother, I know what must be done, now stand back or help me.” Shiro’s mother summons a small chair and sits in it, obviously waiting for something to happen. The twisted energy quickly slowly collects in front of shiro and coalesces into… shiro? The demon looks at shiro with disdain. #So, you think you can kill me now? Even after I tore your body apart last time?# The demon laughs, it’s voice a twisted mockery of Shiro’s. It is a cruel and hard voice, one that grates painfully on the ears and nerves. “I may have summoned you once, even needed you. That was when I was weak and was only fighting for myself. I’ve grown past that and I will not fall to you or to anyone else ever again! I will retake my name and my destiny back into my own hands, even if I must pry it from your foul grasp!” Shiro moves forwards, drawing his blade and attacking with a blazing fast horizontal slash. The demon unsheathes his blade and parries the weapon with seeming ease. Both combatants jump backwards, looking at the other for any signs of weakness. Neither combatant finds a flaw in the others stance and they begin to circle one another, still looking for an opening. Suddenly, both leap forwards each performing a horizontal slash aimed at the others head. Their blades meet in mid swing, sparks flying off of the adamantine weapons. Not even stopping even though they are both in mid-air, they push against the others blade, using that force to pivot around to deliver a series of slashes each one being blocked by the others weapon. The twin blades sing as they strike each other, the pitch rising in intensity and sounding more and more frequently. Both blades together create a song of battle that fills the plane. Both pivot in place, twisting their blades and flipping in the air, delivering a slash aimed at where the other was moments before. Both weapons flash through the empty space, whistling with the speed of the attacks. Both combatants land with ease and sprint towards the other, blades flashing. The twin blades clash and the two combatants stare into each others eyes. #You’ve gotten better, but if this is all you can do, you will never win.# “I Don’t need you any longer! You are useless now!” The demon seems to flinch for a second, then snarls and vomits out a gout of flames which washes over shiro, blinding him for a second. As soon as his vision returns, he realizes his foe is nowhere to be seen. In a reflexive maneuver he rolls forwards and a blade passes through where his neck was just moments ago. Standing up in a flash, shiro leaps towards the demon and thrusts his blade towards it, only to have it blocked. He then is forced to parry a counter blow aimed at his stomach. “Enough. Let us end this in one final blow, where all that matters is our strength.” The demon begins laughing, its voice dripping with evil. #Very well then, I will kill you this time for good and take your place. Then I will kill everyone and everything you ever held dear.# “You could have done so once, in fact… just a few years ago you could have done so. I was a fool, I fought only for myself. But now… now I have a wife, and soon…. I’ll have a child. I also have a young student now, and a few friends.” Shiro’s eyes seem to be on fire as he speaks “For them… Fore them I shall not fall!” The demon seems unimpressed and simply smirks. Faster than a bolt of greased lightning, the two sprint towards each other. A single ring is heard, and then they pass each other. Both are standing still now, and then suddenly… the demon lurches over, then it falls to the ground. Shiro stumbles then falls to his knees. “There, it is done… I’ve fixed my past errors.” Shiro then collapses to the ground, not moving. *You did well, my son. Now lets get you back to your friends.* Shiro’s mother snaps her fingers, then shiro appears back in the arena, unconscious, and bleeding.
Lord_Gareth 11-20-06, 09:08 PM	((AAAAAAARG! Clean this mess up man! It's HORRIFYING! FORMAT NEEDED BADLY!))
Mr_Fox 11-20-06, 09:17 PM	((That better?))
Lord_Gareth 11-20-06, 09:19 PM	Jaden strides over, the rage on her face more apparant than the wrath of St. Cuthbert. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Shiro!" She kneels down and presses her palms against the foxhengeyokai, healing him a great deal ((Thank you BoED)). She gets up, towering beyond her already impressive hieght with fury. "WOMAN! What did you do? WHY SHOULDN'T I OBLITERATE YOU HERE AND NOW?"
Mr_Fox 11-20-06, 09:31 PM	Shiro coughs, a small bit of blood trickling from his mouth. "My...... mother.......is not..... to blame...... " Shiro passes out at this point... breathing shallowly and snoring lightly ((Oh yeah, his mum isn't there.))
Lord_Gareth 11-20-06, 09:34 PM	((You gave off the distinct impression of her 'thereness')) "I'm gonna regret this later." Jaden kneels down and removes her gauntlet. Praying to her god, she places her hands on Shiro, and begins absorbing his wounds. "Haven't even done this for my husband, he'll be angry....."
Mr_Fox 11-20-06, 09:40 PM	((Nah, I said "Shiro appears in the arena." Just shiro... anyways...)) As the wounds flow into jaden, shiro opens his eyes slowly and looks into her face. He smiles and says "Good morning jaden."
Lord_Gareth 11-20-06, 09:41 PM	"G'night Shiro" Jaden keels over, out cold. You can hear her snore loudly.
Mr_Fox 11-20-06, 09:49 PM	((OK, so what did you think of the fight?)) Shiro stands up slowly and shakes his head. "Jaden, you took my wounds?" Shiro shakes his head and drops to one knee, with both hands glowing with the purest of white light, he lays them on jaden's stomach, allowing the wounds between them to flow until they are balanced completely, with both hurting, but not badly. "I think i'll take a nap for a while." Shiro starts walking towards the barracks.
Lord_Gareth 11-20-06, 09:53 PM	((Pretty good, but for the love of god, next time just use the quotation mark+name combo, or at least just a different font color. Had to read 3 times to figure out who said what.))
Mr_Fox 11-20-06, 11:52 PM	((Ah, gotcha... different text colors.))
blacktechknight 11-21-06, 04:02 AM	Maelificius lurks over to the window, and observes the actions. He witnesses people passing out, and is supremely confused. He gives a shrug, and continues watching. It is at this point, that the clanking of heavy armor can be heard. The Gargoyle turns to the door, to observe the new arrival. The man who enters is nearly seven feet tall, wearing dark gray full plate, with a blue over-tunic. He carries a Greatsword, that gleams in the light. One or two runes can be seen upon it's blade. Upon the man's head is an exceedingly elaborate helm, which is immediately distinguishable as the legendary Helm of Brilliance. It's gems glisten in the light, and his storm blue eyes gleam with intellect, as well as bloodlust. He takes a look around the room, and noticing the empty desk, walks over to the window. He gives Maelificius a once over, and decides not to screw with him. Ever. Maelificus turns back to the window, and knows that while this new arrival could pose an irritant, he could obliterate him with ease. He was most definately older. This man seemed only in his twenties, while our Gargoyle had existed for thousands of years. The armored man speaks, with out turning his gaze to the Gargoyle. "I am Dranos Shatterblade." The Gargoyle, smirks, also not looking in the man's direction. "I am called Maelificius Hellgaze." ((Dranos, is only rated at Great, but he's my actual D&D character.))
thecrazyDM 11-21-06, 04:41 PM	The man walks to Jaden. "What happened to Shiro." To understand the creepiness of that, realize he has never met him before, he has only seen him now, and he was out of hearing range to hear his name.:P
Lord_Gareth 11-21-06, 04:43 PM	((Jaden is currently out cold on the Arena Floor. Please call back when she's concious.))
Mr_Fox 11-21-06, 04:49 PM	"You aren't awake yet jaden? Hmm... we both need rest." Shiro quickly steps over to jaden and gently lifts her up. They both are seen heading towards the barracks.
Prak, the Mad 11-21-06, 04:49 PM	Gardosen: "should someone perhaps move her to a room?" the cloaked figure asks generally as he moves towards where the other warriors are. "Ah, nevermind, seems someone is already." (moment too late..)
LivingShadow 11-21-06, 05:21 PM	((Don't forget Vicros and whoever he is fighting thecrazyDM.))
thecrazyDM 11-21-06, 06:12 PM	(haven't, sorry bout te delay') I passes around him without a trace of harm at all. "You think your inferior magic can harm me?!? Only the magic of my home realm may defeat me! BAR GRETHAD!" Two shadowy creatures with blades of fish bone appear on either side of the cyborg. He points and they rush at you, blades raised.
LivingShadow 11-22-06, 04:36 PM	"And you are wrong to think they can harm me." Vicros ignores the creatures and a quarterstaff appears in the air. He grabs it and cold energy starts so swirl around him. "I usually don't use this but you force me to make an exeption." He casts another spell on himself before charging in to melee.
thecrazyDM 11-22-06, 07:01 PM	"Do your worst weakling!" (Seriously, this guy has DR 50/ Mertrane Magic) He stands ready.
LivingShadow 11-23-06, 08:01 AM	((I wasn't planning on doing damage with anything.)) The creature feels a tap on his shoulder. "As a quick lesson: NEVER GET ME MAD." Vicros channels magical energy into the cyborg and sends it approximately 1000ft strait down after forcing it into temporal stasis. His doppelganger disappears.
cog_n_taz 11-23-06, 10:33 AM	((Skraal is still waitin' for wilt...)) The Barbarian stands and looks around, waiting for a fight with an unusual amount of patience. That is, he only broke three pillars and one statue so far. "Thund want fight NOW! Who fight me? Little people all scared huh?"
Prak, the Mad 11-23-06, 05:12 PM	"I'll fight you, Thund." Gardosen says,"Quick question, are mounts allowed? or will Largos have to entertain himself for a time?"
cog_n_taz 11-23-06, 06:35 PM	Skraal overhears and shouts over "yeah, mounts are allowed alright, just nothin' too huge." Thund seems rather happy with the news of a fight. In fact, he's so happy that he almost stopped breaking things, almost. He turns to garosen and says "you fight thund now? Okay, put shiny round things here" here, he points at jaden's desk."and go fight there" He points at the inside of the arena."me wait there." He unsheathes a greataxe roughly the size of a horse and runs over to the arena.
Prak, the Mad 11-23-06, 07:10 PM	"Eh? hmm... he didn't say how much, well, here, this should do..." Gardosen drops a small black gem into the can. "Largos, well... he didn't quantify 'too huge'... so, let's go.." gardosen leaps down into the arena, looks up, and, once satisfied the lighting conditions are right, pulls down his hood and flicks back his cloak. The inside of the fabric is a lightless pitch black. He pulls up the goggles he wears revealing his glowing red eyes. before thund now stands a relatively tall man, his pointed ears mark him as possibly half elven. His hair sweeps up mimicing two large ears of a predatory mammal, while his sideburns connect to rough facial hair on the terminous of his jaw(where the jawbone meets the chin, near the ears), which comes down halfway towards his chin. The man wears simply a chainshirt over his bare chest, girded with a wide belt depicting scenes of bears and lions. A red hued waterskin hangs from the thinner belt worn over the wide one. A quiver of arrows hangs at his hip, secured at mid thigh and protruding down to the knee. Across the man's back is strapped a five foot long sword, which the man is currently drawing, and a thirteen foot long bow of iron. A large steel shield floats behind him as he leaps atop 'Largos', his 14 foot tall, bone-white horse, it's mane is thick fog and a fine rime emanates from it's hooves.
cog_n_taz 11-23-06, 08:13 PM	((ahh... dead horsey... oh, and thund didn't give a number because...well...guess who can't count?)) The barbarian stares blankly at the horse and elf before him, and speaks: "wait, thund need use magic stick" . He takes a small oak stick from his pocket, and waves it around. It flashes with a green light, and both barbarian and axe grow to twice the size. "thund ready now". He raises the axe, faces his two opponents, and swings.
Prak, the Mad 11-23-06, 10:02 PM	((figured such, and the horse ain't dead... *grin*)) before Thund even began his charge, Gardosen had already spurred on Largos, thundering across the arena floor, solidified fog mane in one hand, fullblade in the other, "You wouldn't happen to follow the sun god, would you Thund?" Gardosen shouts as the eye sockets of the skull on his fullblade's crossguard begin to glow an unearthly purple. Largos pulls to the side just Thund and he would collide, Gardosen swings his sword at terrifying ferocity as Largos drives his two front hooves towards Thund's legs, the rime aura leaving a thin layer of frost on them. As Gardosen and Largos pound past Thund, and he notices that where the gruff looking human sat upon the horse's shoulders, now a tall, regal, yet savage looking Wolfman sits properly in a military saddle. Black fur cover rippling muscle, and long fangs protrude past the figure's chin. His sword has grown to now be 8 feet long. "your move, Thund, let's see what you've got!" Largos bounds away from the barbarian, landing about 30 yards away.
cog_n_taz 11-25-06, 11:47 PM	Thund doesn't even flinch when he is struck, and then turns towards the werewolf. He smiles and walks slowly towards Gardosen, hefting his axe. "silly doggy" He makes a massive swing at his sword, trying to cleave through it and hit the chest.
Mr_Fox 11-26-06, 12:15 PM	((Wow.... I'm amazed I timed it so well... Shiro went off to sleep right before I had to leave for NYC... I'm a genius.)) Shiro walks out of the barracks now. His fur is still a little ruffled, but all of hos wounds are now healed and he simply walks over to the waiting room and sots down on the nearest chair. *Yawn* "Morning all." ((Bed head on a fox;))
Mr_Fox 11-27-06, 01:13 PM	((Bumpage.))
LivingShadow 11-28-06, 04:54 PM	((Where is everyone?))
Prak, the Mad 11-28-06, 05:58 PM	As thund begins walking slowly towards Gardosen, gardosen does several ride by attacks, swinging twice with his sword at the enlarged barbarian on each pass, the magic of the blade straining at it's bonds upon each attack, it's entropic profane energy biting into thund. (It's a +5 anarchic unholy ghost touch adamantine fullblade, man... it's gonna do something... especially since you're just walking 30 yards slowly... that's giving me time to do at least two charges... at a +26/+19 each... so unless Thund is the God of barbarian stereotypes... he's gonna be hurting...)
Mr_Fox 11-28-06, 06:12 PM	Shiro looks on as gardosen strikes with his big weapon. "Another person using those foolish fullblades, they must be overcompensating for something."
Prak, the Mad 11-28-06, 06:15 PM	over hearing the fox's comment gardosen shouts "Like perhaps the fact that rapiers do crap for damage? You're canine, you know I've got nothing to compensate for... It's a simple decision, big hunk of metal equals plenty of damage."
Mr_Fox 11-28-06, 06:44 PM	Shiro laughs hard "A rapier doesn't do enough damage for you? Please, all it takes is one slight jab in the right spots and you opponent falls dead. These big weapons are all well and good, but they'd never hit me. Have fun swinging your big blade around like a madman."
Lord_Gareth 11-28-06, 08:15 PM	Jaden walks out, rubbing her head and mumbling under her breath. "Hope yer happy Shiro. For the first time in centuries, my esteemed husband is P.O.'d. Worst thing to happen since I kicked him in the crotch, on purpose, while sober." She crashes down into the chair behind the desk with a relieved sigh. "Only in this multiverse can you take near-mortal wounds and just sleep it off." ((Ever notice that about D&D? You can get beat within an inch of life, and sleep it off in one night (at low levels, anyway)))
cog_n_taz 11-29-06, 08:37 AM	unless Thund is the God of barbarian stereotypes((He is:D, read up on thrud the barbarian, I will provide an example if you like.)) The blade crashes into thund, he's knocked over and sent flying into the arena wall. He lies there unmoving for a few moments, before getting up angrily and holding his axe, staring at a gash on his arm. "...you hurt thund...YOU HURT THUND! RAAAAAAAAAAGGHH! He leaps at gardosen, swinging his axe like a madman, which, in all likelyhood, he probably is and will be for the next few minutes. Every swing that the warrior dodges leaves large gashes in the ground, inches deep and smoking. He eventually stops his assault and steps back, before roaring and throwing the axe at both gardosen and largos. The axe flies quickly towards them, tearing apart the ground beneath it without even touching it, and catching fire halfway. ((ahhhh..... silly but fun!))
Mr_Fox 11-29-06, 01:38 PM	Shiro turns to face jaden. "Your husband is PO'ed eh? Well, this could turn out to be a real drag." Shiro shakes his head for a moment and says "You have my eternal thanks for borrowing my wounds. Tell me please, how can I repay you?"
Lord_Gareth 11-29-06, 02:21 PM	"Well, you could let me kick you in the crotch, but I get the feeling I'd get a no for that particular solution. As it stands, an explanation would be nice. Styx is mean, but it isn't THAT mean. You shoulda came back wet and without a scratch."
Prak, the Mad 11-29-06, 03:02 PM	*sigh* Enough of this! Gardosen leaps from the saddle, half the force of his jump pushes Largos back, a split second before thrud's ax would have cleaved them in half. As the feral wolfman draws near thrud he can feel his resolve and morale slipping. Gardosen lands upon thrud's back, and his claws sink into the cyclopean barbarian's shoulders as gardosen latches onto the back of thrud's neck, thrud can feel his body weakening as black energy leechs into the wounds while blood is flooding into gardosen's mouth. Then gardosen's hands and mouth glow with a horrid purple energy as old wounds begin to open all over thrud's body.
LivingShadow 11-29-06, 04:04 PM	"If I am not mistaken that is psionics."
Prak, the Mad 11-29-06, 04:54 PM	((If you're talking about gardosen, it's not... think about why he has a big cloak that has deeper darkness focused inwards...)) ((edit: actually, the part you're prolly calling psionics doesn't have anything to do with that... let me put it this way, his cloak pin is a symbol of Shar...))
Mr_Fox 11-29-06, 05:45 PM	Shiro looks uneasy. "An explanation it is. Very well, when I was young, I had nowhere near my current prowess with the blade, and my magic was subpar." Shiro sighs and leans against the wall. "I was made a fool of for many years and it came to a point where I could no longer stand my own weakness. This point was where I saw my brothers and sisters fall before a dragons fangs and claws. At that moment, I realized that unless I took measures that were quite frankly... forbidden I would never be able to live with myself." Shiro snaps his fingers and a horribly disturbing image appears in front of him. ((It look like somethign out of silent hill, crossed with something from the far realm, that was put through a blender than poorly stapled back together.)) "Jaden, when the truly desperate cry out for power in right way, a thing like this comes into being, they have no names and most cannot act in any of the physical worlds at all. I brought one of these beasts to the physical, and in exchange for power, I let it take my name, This allowed it to take on a physical form and wreak havoc on this world and many others. That, was and is my sin." The image begins twisting, and starts taking on an appearance very much like Shiro's "I gained power of course, and through a few friends of mine, I managed to seal that beast away. But it never stopped growing in power. Even as I grew strong, it grew with me. Eventually, it managed to gain influence outside of its bindings and started to summon others of evil bent. I slew the others it summoned, but never once attempted to fight it... I was afraid to do so. Eventually, my mother caught wind of this, and forced me to battle it. I lost horribly, but as long as that beast lived, I couldn't die. I was hurled into an odd place for a long time. Eventually, I made my way back to this world. I was enjoying myself here for a while, then I caught wind of my mother again, I knew she would force me to try again. She caught up to me, and I was forced to fight it." Shiro nods and smiles. "This time though, since I wasn't only fighting for myself, I won. Of course, I did take a few wounds from the thing. So, my mother sent me here, to you, where you healed me." ((Hooray for backstory!))
cog_n_taz 11-29-06, 06:14 PM	((ouch, I leave my attacks open to dodging, and you do every time. Your attacks? Auto-hit. Oh well, that's just a difference in power level I guess, won't it ever be possible to play non-magical characters? By the way, I guess gardosen is... er, batman?:P )) Thund struggles under the attack, but manages to grab gardosen off his back and drop him to the ground, he then takes a small bead from his pocket and crushes it in his hand. Staggering, he crushes it. His axe vanishes from its rest in the arena wall, and reappears next to thund, and also right above gardosen. The barbarian attempts to grab gardosen, pinning him for the incoming axe.
Mr_Fox 11-29-06, 06:20 PM	Shiro looks on at the spectacle of the man with the huge blade swinging it around like a madman and the other man with the big axe swinging it pretty much the same. Shiro can't help but smirk at it. "If only I thought I could get away with throwing out a few enchanments in that fight..."
cog_n_taz 11-29-06, 06:25 PM	((look, I'm running this guy as a joke and nothing more, gimme a break, ok?))
Mr_Fox 11-29-06, 06:35 PM	((Hey, no offense meant, shiro just happens to be one of those "Finesse is far more important than raw power" kinda guys. Actually it's fun to read your stuff. Of course, all of shiro's comments are due to his personality, all in character. So once again, no offence meant.))
Prak, the Mad 11-29-06, 06:50 PM	((ouch, I leave my attacks open to dodging, and you do every time. Your attacks? Auto-hit. Oh well, that's just a difference in power level I guess, won't it ever be possible to play non-magical characters? By the way, I guess gardosen is... er, batman?:P )) ((I leave mine open also(except the jump, sorry, forgot) you simply choose to not dodge, or that's how I saw it, and if you read some of the flavour examples in the DMG even when you save against an effect, you feel something. hm... close with the batman thing... not quite though...)) Thund struggles under the attack, but manages to grab gardosen off his back and drop him to the ground, he then takes a small bead from his pocket and crushes it in his hand. Staggering, he crushes it. His axe vanishes from its rest in the arena wall, and reappears next to thund, and also right above gardosen. The barbarian attempts to grab gardosen, pinning him for the incoming axe. As Thund grabs the wolfman, gardosen suddenly disappears.
cog_n_taz 11-29-06, 08:05 PM	((alrighty, Soul Eater? I guess the power level gap here is too big, he will go down, in a while....)) Thund looks around him blankly, confused, "where bad dog?" He pauses, and looks around. "thund find dog." He begins to pace around the arena, readying his axe in case of a surprise attack. ((Mr.fox: I know, just kidding. Well, I'm glad you enjoy my stuff. Outta curiosity, which character do you prefer? Some how I think as a real character Skraal is gonna get more than a few votes over this guy...))
Prak, the Mad 11-29-06, 10:20 PM	((nope, not soul eater either)) as Thund drops his hand and looks around the spectators can see a small black shape flap up over thund's head and then suddenly grow to become gardosen once again. Gardosen plunges thirty stories downwards to thund, his fullblade drawn and pointing down like the beak of a diving falcon.
Gaelro_Nailo 11-30-06, 12:01 AM	A young elf in a black kimono walks in. Seening Jaden he kneels before her. "Are you the master of this arena?"
Gaelro_Nailo 11-30-06, 12:38 AM	((geting late so im not gona be one till later))
cog_n_taz 11-30-06, 01:39 AM	((barb stereotype ahead!)) Thund sees the incoming wolf-man and jumps to the side. He then grabs largos and swings it towards the fullblade and gardosen. "dead doggy".
Prak, the Mad 11-30-06, 02:39 AM	as the... huge... 13 foot tall at the withers... probably several tons... Frostmare flies towards gardosen, he returns to the small black form of a bat but fails to move fast enough to dodge Largos. He is struck and blacks out for a moment, then awakens after having reflexely shifted back to his human form. he hifts once again to his hybrid wolf form and heaves the large horse off of himself.
cog_n_taz 11-30-06, 03:15 AM	as the... huge... 13 foot tall at the withers... probably several tons... ((your point being? I did mention barb stereotypeness ahead:P look ,no offense, but without magic(very limited anyway) and flashyness, all I have left is tricks like that, sorry. I'll whack the guy if an unintelligent character offends you.)) Thund sees that gardosen has survived the attak, and looks around desperately for a weapon. Within moments he appears to have noticed something, and runs to the opposite end of the arena before ripping off a 7-foot section of the wall. He then charges, roars, and swings at both gardosen and largos.
Prak, the Mad 11-30-06, 12:00 PM	((my point being... meh, forget it, I just.. don't see even a large creature picking up and throwing such a horse as being possible even in D&D... but hey, 8 tons requires only a 42 strength... It doesn't offend me.. I just.. quibble at his feat of strength...)) As thund swings the WALL at gardosen, he notices the man has disappeared, only to be relocated behind the barbarian, thrusting his fullblade into the giant's left kidney... "You never answered me, Thund, Do you worship the Sun god?" ((regardless of whether he does or not, is he good aligned?))
Mr_Fox 11-30-06, 12:26 PM	((Hmm... I wonder if I should redescribe shiro again, for the benifit of the new guy or gal?)) Shiro's eyebrows raise at the sight of another kimono wearer. "That was my story jaden, and I can make no excuses for what I did." Shiro turns and bows to the kimono wearing elf, then says, "What lands do you hail from? I wonder is it is the same as my homeland? Regardless, I am Shiro kakita, of the clan of the Crane. A pleasure to meet you."
LivingShadow 11-30-06, 04:34 PM	((it apparently mimics the power recall agony))
Prak, the Mad 11-30-06, 04:52 PM	((recall agony? nope... think variant base classes that wear holy symbols and can tell if somone is good))
LivingShadow 11-30-06, 05:13 PM	((xph))
cog_n_taz 11-30-06, 06:16 PM	Thund growls, and falls to the ground, unconcious. ((he's unable to answer, so here goes: the guys is good, more or less, and chaotic. He doesn't go for the sun god, kord all the way for him:).))
Gaelro_Nailo 11-30-06, 07:33 PM	((I know about you, slowly reading this alsome thread but couldnt wait to come on)) "Now that looks like it could be fun. Oh my name is Cysel Nailo, i come from the elven empire of Rilynnathem ((house of the dragon)). I have heard that this arena would be a good place to test my might. And if that show of power was normal I would love to try my luck sometimes. Are you an combatant Lord Shiro? I have heard of you skills and would like to see them first hand" (Cysel carries no weapons but around his neck swings a mithral cresent moon pendant. On his kimono bear a moni of a gold dragon across a black cloud. Prayer beads are wraped around his right hand. He is very tall for an elf at 6'4. He moves with a graceful movement.)
Mr_Fox 11-30-06, 09:01 PM	Shiro smiles. "I am a combatant. Hmm... you seem to have potential. Show me what you can do, and I will see about a match between us. Until then, I content myself to watch these two lumbering men fight. Show me your skills please."
Prak, the Mad 11-30-06, 09:03 PM	victorious, Gardosen walks over to Largos, caring only whether or not his friend is injured. "I am sorry, comrade, are you injured?" "nothing some rest and magic won't fix" "good"
Gaelro_Nailo 11-30-06, 09:16 PM	Cysel lifts he right arm and the prayer beads forms into a plain looking katana. "Are you sure? I am not that good at not killing when I use this technique?"
Gaelro_Nailo 11-30-06, 09:51 PM	"Myself included. My master never taught me how to use Rilynnathem style of comat without hurting myself in the process, said it would make me more resistance to others attacks as well as my own."
cog_n_taz 12-01-06, 08:50 AM	Thund gets up after a minute or so, and walks out of the arena, mumbling "...not fair. Doggy have friend fight too."
Mr_Fox 12-01-06, 03:02 PM	((Wow, someone finally hit one of shiro's two hot buttons, both of which are closely related.)) Overhearing the word "doggy" Shiro's ears twitch violently. With only a short bow to the elven katana wielder he turns on thund and strides right up to the big man staring him in the face with a look that could make a bodak jealous. In a barely controlled voice with a razors edge he asks "Did you just call me a doggy??"
LivingShadow 12-01-06, 04:30 PM	((Since thecrazyDM hasn't been on in a while I guess I'll bring Vicros back to the material plane.)) Vicros, an obvious mage in black robes, rises out of the ground from a pool of darkness. "Did I miss anything?"
cog_n_taz 12-01-06, 06:03 PM	((I was talking bout gardosen)) A man in a white suit and jacket walks up to vicros. " so, this is the arena then? Well, it isn't much, but it'll have to do, I suppose. care for a match? Oh, and the name is john. Doctor John.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-01-06, 07:25 PM	"Ok now I know what not to call Lord Shiro that word." Cysel drops his right arm as the katana returns to its beads form around his right hand. The pendant around his neck glows softly. A look of fear apears on his face as he turns and leaves the room without a word. An aged elf in long flowing gold kimono appears right where Cysel was standng moments ago. He is armed with a katana and a wakizashi and is wearing ancient gold dragonscale breastplate, his moni is also that of a gold dragon across a black cloud.((btw its nots the MM gold dragon but an oriental dragon, as is cysel)) "Has any of yall seen my apprentice, he wears a black kimono, a mithral cresent moon pendant, and prayer beads on his right hand? And did he do use his beads to form a weapon?"
Mr_Fox 12-01-06, 08:41 PM	Shiro, with his ears still twitching asks again, this time only slightly less controlled, "Did..... you.......just......call....me....... Doggy??"
Xytranis 12-01-06, 08:41 PM	Hmmm to join or not to join....
Mr_Fox 12-01-06, 08:54 PM	((If you wanna join, you should do so, at least if you want some fun, pure RP based combat."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-01-06, 11:08 PM	"Ahh, know I know why my apprentice came here, I guess I could let him off this time. I didnt know that Lord Shiro was here. Ahh excuse my rudeness my name is Lafali Rilynnathem, master of the elven moonguards, and master to one Cysel Nailo, and you might as well come back here I know you are listening." Cysel apears kneeling before Lafali. "See there is someone of your ability here master." Lafali looks upon his apprentice with a look of sadness. "There is more to life then just power my very young apprentice." He then turns to Shiro, "I do not belive that one was calling you a doggy. So how about we have some tea?" With a wave of his hand a tea table appears next to him.
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 12:20 AM	Shiro sighs deeply and turns to this newcomer. Bowing deeply he says "Lafali-sama, it is a pleasure to meet you, and an even greater pleasure to take tea with you." Shiro quickly sits down at the table, sitting on his legs and making certain his blade doesn't hit anything it shouldnt. "You have already heard of me, but I believe an introduction is needed again, as proper behavior demands. I am Shiro kakita of the crane clan. it an honor to meet you."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 12:45 AM	Lafali sit down opposite to Shiro. "Just think of the tea you would like and this table will have it." A small tea cup appears in Lafali hand, "as well as most other drinks. I do not think i have visited your homelands before, is it far from here?"
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 12:57 AM	As soon as shiro takes a cup, the arena is filled with the aroma of cherry blossoms. "A wonderful table indeed. My homeland isn't far from here, for those with the right kind of hearts and souls. Those who wish strength tempered by discipline and honor can find it easily. All others will never succeed."
robnie 12-02-06, 01:00 AM	A small (2') black robe (looks like ViVi) gnome pops on the tea table that the 2 old geazer was sitting at. "Hiya my name is ViVi Blackflame, i was told that i could come here and blast stuff. Heres my 10 gold and im gona be elite rank, almost god-like, i think" He puts the gold peices in Lafali tea cup.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:02 AM	"Master are you alright?" Cysel grabs ViVi and lifts him off the table,"How dare you do this yet again, i though i told you to stop poping in on masters tables like that, we are still trying to get all the burn marks off the last 3."
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 01:02 AM	Upon seeing the gnome ruin a good cup of tea, shiro laughs heartily. "My small friend, it is up to Jaden to allow you to do battle here, not either of us. She should be easy to find, just look for the most deadly woman in here."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:04 AM	"Dont blast him he didnt know you dont like bening called small" Cysel says as he holds ViVi
robnie 12-02-06, 01:04 AM	"SMALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! his eyes start glowing black as flame encircles him"(a wonder of black mages)".Youngins should have more respect for there elders."
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 01:06 AM	Seeign the flames go out instantly and without effect shiro smiles. "I apologize for the small comment, but you would do well to note that all forms of attack fail unless performed inside the fighting grounds."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:07 AM	((me and robnie are brothers in RL so we have loads of RP together)) Cysel bows before Shiro, "I so sorry for his rudeness, he dosnt like beening called small. Last time someone said that the city kinda got burned down." Lafali looks at ViVi with a stern look "Who are you calling young? You are not even a third of my age."
robnie 12-02-06, 01:08 AM	"It's not a attack it happens when i get mad so sorry."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:13 AM	"And when he sees orcs, goblen, kobalts, black dragons and red flowers but thats one is for a totaly diffent reason. But he dose cook dragon steaks like no one else can" Cysel says, "So how have you been, last time we saw you was in the plane of ice trying to forage a ice golem right? How did that turn out?"
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 01:13 AM	Shiro nods and says "I'm not young by any sense of the word. Do not worry about his rudeness, I have come to expect it from the no-henge, don't worry about it. They can rarely help it."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:16 AM	"So true, and they dont respect there elders like they use to, even cysel forgets himself ever now and then." Lafali toss ViVi his coins back, "Next time could you please put them somewhere else becide in my cup"
robnie 12-02-06, 01:17 AM	"Well i've been trying to work a new type of metal into clockwork model 67582fre it is a mix of adamantite and raw ebony some elementals in the elemetnal plane of fire showed me how and i just got done with him".
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 01:18 AM	Shiro sighs. "Ah, but they can't help being born that way, so it would be uncompassionate of me to hold it against them. Now, what is this about your apprentice wishing to test himself in combat?"
robnie 12-02-06, 01:18 AM	"The ice didnt work out i tyred instaling fire ball and it umm... melted."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:19 AM	"Is that a good idea, you do remember what happen last time you listen to an elemental?" Cysel puts ViVi bakc on the ground, "Would you like me to get you staff?"
robnie 12-02-06, 01:21 AM	"Umm i kinda left it in my badger and i forgot where i left it."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:23 AM	"He is very gifted in the rilynnathem style of combat but there are not many who can challange him when he used his weapon forming jutsu. He would be of godlike rank i belive"
robnie 12-02-06, 01:25 AM	"That wasent my fault the elemental sabatoged me he somehow managed to turn the srew 2 inchs the wrong in the middle of a crowd without anyone see him that explosion wasent my fault"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:27 AM	Cysel laughs, "You still have that thing? How many times has it tryed to eat you now? Dose it still chew on your wands and staffs?" "Though he might be elite if you are a combatent, I mgith even join just to see if i still have what it takes to spare against youngings"
robnie 12-02-06, 01:28 AM	"It stoped after breaking the staff of power took me 7 months to repair him"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:28 AM	((ohh and all of this has happened in our campian btw, what fun that day was))
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 01:30 AM	Shiro smiles, exposing rows of pearly white teeth. "I can challenge him, even were he using the most advanced technique in all of the planes. Seeing as how my kenjutsu-no-kitsu-kami is just waiting for use." Shiro snaps his fingers and a much longer blade appears in his hip. It is basically a nodachi, but for some reason, it is bound by holy papers...
robnie 12-02-06, 01:31 AM	"humm anyone for me to fight im bored? I could use some pratice."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:34 AM	"Wow, that looks like masters sword" Cysel stares wide eye at shiro new sword "Cysel stop staring, its not polite. I would not underestamate him, he might be young but his special jutsus are effective, even if he has yet to master them. And cysel you know I dont use that sword anymore, the price of using it is to great."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:36 AM	"Ohh want to have a go at it ViVi?" Cysel take out a black pearl, "may i use this instead of gold, i dont have any?"
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 01:36 AM	Shiro stands and walks over to the arena floor, saying "I'll see what your student can do."
robnie 12-02-06, 01:38 AM	"If we faught here the terrain would change you know im nuke-happy :evillaugh
robnie 12-02-06, 01:40 AM	"Though we could try it ill try not to use any terrain affecting spells".
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:41 AM	"Cysel, you may spare with ViVi later. Follow shiro-sama and show him what you may do. I will let us use the 2nd form of Rilynnathem in this sparing match" "Ohh thanks you master, i will not let you down" Cysel follow Shiro out to the arena floor.
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 01:45 AM	Shiro bows and places his hand on his blade. As the walls of force go up, surrounding the arena floor, and the magic mouth announces, "BEGIN," Shiro seems to shimmer for a moment, but doesn't move at all "Let's start with the easy stuff, shall we?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:48 AM	"Very well, I will only use the 3rd form of my katana" The prayer beads form into a plain looking katana. "Dragon Arc" Cysel slashes at shiro with his sword and a arc of blue lighting shoot from the blade. Following the arc with great agility he speeds toward shiro.
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 01:55 AM	Shiro smiles as the lightning arc crashes into him and keeps on going, smashing into the wall of force. From behind cysel, comes a pair of globs of magic energy, both of which easily hit, but not even doing any real harm, from cysel's left side however, he manages to catch a flash of crimson, as a blade streaks towards his neck... "1st technique of Kiba-no-kitsu-kami style, deceptive body"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 01:59 AM	A sly smile cross cysel face as he speed incress greatly, easly dodges the blade. As he appears behind shiro he unleashes anouther dragon arc at point blank range.
robnie 12-02-06, 02:00 AM	"So boring start fighting yall are fighting like kobalds throw some lighting bolts crate a few craters! I have faith in you ... well no i dont but thats besides the point yall are epic lvl come on!"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:04 AM	"ViVi i would not talk like that, cysel can hear you and you have the fight him next." Lafali explains, "and i do not belive you could match there speed."
robnie 12-02-06, 02:06 AM	"Hush geezer im watching the kobalds fight."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:08 AM	"If you wish i could show you what this geezer can do? Though i would not recomend it, Morning Light dosnt like you if you remember"
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 02:10 AM	Shiro smirks as the lightning streaks towards him. "Too easy" With a blazing fast slash of his blade, the dragon arc is deflected towards the walls. Not even stopping to watch the deflection, shiro steps to the left, pivoting in place and letting go a series of slashes with his no-dachi, each one speeding up and releasing small drops of a crimson liquid, each of which fall to the floor.
robnie 12-02-06, 02:11 AM	"Your a kami its agianst the rules your not even supposed to be here the rule is to use avatars.Besides your no fun so serious and ohhh THAT GOTTA HURT this is getting interesting this is ganna end up good."
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 02:12 AM	Upon hearing the word "Kami" Shiro smiles.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:17 AM	Cysel trys to parrie but most of the blows hit him. The katan reforms to one with draconics runes along the blade. He phase steps away and gose total defence to try and find a weakness in shiro techniques. "Ahh, i wounder if he has mastered that move yet?" Lafali wounders outload.
robnie 12-02-06, 02:18 AM	"Shiro you ever heard of kusari-gamas".?
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:19 AM	"Well the cat is out of the bag as the old saying gose" Lafali gives ViVi a playful bonk on the head
robnie 12-02-06, 02:20 AM	"Its not hard to figure out so dont blame me for your cheating bad kami :P."
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 02:22 AM	Shiro laughs. "The chain and sickle, of course I have young one. I also know that you should look behind you." As soon as shiro says those words, another Shiro appears behind his foe, slashing low. The first shiro backs away a bit, using some oddmagic to shorten his blade into a much shorter one, and splitting in in two. He is now hloding a pair of kodachi... ((Longer than shortswords, shorter than longswords.)) ((EDIT: My last post for tonight.))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:23 AM	(( btw we are americans, we just love playing bushido alot so we learn alot about japen and there lore and myths)) "You could of at least let them figure who i was though, some people like finding that kind of stuff out on there own"
robnie 12-02-06, 02:25 AM	"Well i use kusari-gams but mine are a bit... special, kusari-gama is not a sicile but a kama there difrent not mutch but still diftent."
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 02:27 AM	Doctor John walks over to the gnome and bows. "perhaps you would care for a match, master Vivi?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:28 AM	"Well master did say i could use it." Cysel starts to swing his sword around his head and shouts, "Dragon Storm" Arcs of blue lighting shoots forth from his whirling blade to strikes randomly around the arena floor. 2 of which hit cysel himself. Dazed for a moment the arcs stops stricking. 'Darn i still need to work on that" Cysel sidesteps and perform quick upper cut followed by a lower one.
robnie 12-02-06, 02:28 AM	"Sure knockout? and i dont have my staff at the moment so my powers are bound."
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 02:30 AM	"very well, shall we begin?" The man in the white jacket vanishes and reappears in the arena.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:31 AM	"Ahh, you finaly took my advice and bound some of your magic into a item. Dose it help control you wild magic a bit more?" Lafali asks ViVi while watchig his appentice's fight.
robnie 12-02-06, 02:32 AM	ViVi disapears then re apears in the arena. "Lets begin"
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 02:34 AM	((copycat:P)) "very well than, allow an old man the first strike will you?" In a flash of light, the man is behind Vivi. Skeletal claws erupt from his hands, crackling with black energy. He Grasps the small wizard with one hand, and attempts to claw him with the other.
robnie 12-02-06, 02:37 AM	"SMALL!!!!!!????" flame and lighting and ice starts to entwine ViVI as the earth stars shacking "ELEMENTAL SHIFT" the flame starts to entwirl the hand and obliderates it while the lighting shoots at the other hand and the ice makes a protectv shield
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:37 AM	"This is going to be interested, he called him small." Lafali now starts to watch both battles before him. It appears that he is havig fun watching the battles.
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 02:42 AM	((in the description, he didn't say it himself...:rolleyes: )) The hand is burned off, and falls to the ground, only to have a grotesque blade, seemingly made of flesh((think souledge from soul calibur)), spring out in its place. "now now, why would I say that? My art may not be well accepted, but I am still a gentleman sir." He stabs at Vivi with his new blade. As he attacks, a pair of batlike wings pop out of his back with a tearing sound. He attempts to grasp the mage and fly up.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:44 AM	"My mistake, but i would advice agaist taking him off the ground, he is a half air elemental/half gnome. But you look like you could handle him in flight"
robnie 12-02-06, 02:45 AM	(you ever faught a black mage that trained in each of the elemental plaves for about 1000 years each?) "EARTH ENTRAPMENT" Pillars of black earth start rising forming a dome and the earth starts entwining makeing it almost impossiable to fly. As kusari-gamas made of flame shoots out of his hands at you. "let go of me those hurt"
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 02:49 AM	((be careful, the whole godlike power thing gets old fast)) "as you wish, but be careful what you wish for." John flings the gnome into the dome of earth and drills a hole out with his blade before strolling out. He removes his hood to reveal several beholder like eyestalks, and begins to shoot green rays from them, trying to disintegrate the dome, though carefully avoiding the mage. "you are quite fortunate sir, that this is a knockout match..."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 02:51 AM	((Last post of the night)) "Cysel, you may stay here and train if you wish, but you are forbidden to use the last form of your jutsu untill you master the second one. Shiro all you must do to call me is say my name and i will come when i can." Lafali then fades away along with his tea table.
robnie 12-02-06, 02:55 AM	(black mages expertise in elements im a half air elemental so i got better in it, and i wansnt trying to be godlike, if i was blaim gaelro for his gods bening so powerful. hes my DM) as the gnome is flong into the dome a drift of air hits the gnome before he hits it (2 foot gnome flinged into ebony earth is a death the air just let me live) But ViVi looks like he is about to pass out from all the magic he has peformed. (black mages own till ther power drains out and those spells are like 40 mana a piece)
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 03:00 AM	((don't worry bout it, by the way, don't mind the FF restrictions if you don't want to:))) John shoots out several blast rays, propelling him backwards. As the dome turns to dust, he assaults the mage with a mind blast. He assumes him, in his confidence, stunned. He walks over to Vivi and says " I realize we have agreed upon a knockout match, but you appear to be tired, perhaps a rematch at some later point would be in order?"
robnie 12-02-06, 03:04 AM	"My staff has about half of my mana in it and if you woulda stayed in here a little about longer this would of happened" He puts his hand near 2 pillars and they expand extremly qucikly "its my ultimate spell and i surreneder but once i have my staff i would like another match" ViVI bows before john and he says "by the way are you a mind flayer?"
robnie 12-02-06, 03:05 AM	(and by the way that earth was pure ebony enchanted by a 40 hd caster it woundt get destroyed that easy but no problem)
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 03:07 AM	John taps Vivi on the back, and teleports them both out. "well fought. And no, I am not a mind flayer" He laughs at this comment "I am a brand of wizard, one of those known as a mordainian fleshweaver"((homebrew))"I am of the opinion that the human body, as is, is far too weak. Therefore, I use the magical powers that my studies have granted me to graft on parts of fallen foes, imbuing me with their powers. It is quite widely frowned upon, I believe." ((ok, disintegrate, atleast in 3.0, doesn't really care what the target is, but I'll be careful next time.)) ((be back soon))
robnie 12-02-06, 03:11 AM	( the way it works is it regenerates instantly as long as i have the mana but to do so i woundt have enough mana to use the final attack) "Ok just wondering and by the way mind blast dont work well on me" (he says that in your mind)
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 03:20 AM	"I had guessed as much" As he exits the battlefield, the eyestalks etc. shrink back in, and he is his normal self again. "so, sir vivi, is this the staff you were looking for?" A long curled staff of obsidian, adorned with blood red rubies and a golden dragon's head at the top appears in John's hand.((By the way, how much did this guy's fighting style surprise you? Just outta curiosity))
robnie 12-02-06, 03:22 AM	"simple mind protection item"
robnie 12-02-06, 03:28 AM	(seemed a bit evil i think) "my staff umm dont think so my staff is just a plain walking stick"
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 03:29 AM	((hehe, you never know... but he doesn't seem all that bad, no?:P)) "Ah. No use for this then... how about this?" He tosses the staff away, which erupts in flames. In its place, a walking stick with a powerful magical aura appears."In hindsight, that could've been sold for quite a bit..."
robnie 12-02-06, 03:31 AM	"how did you get my staff out of my badger?"
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 03:34 AM	"everything has a truename, including the badger, and the tree the staff was crafted from. First, speak the badger's name to place the staff outside it, and then the name of the tree to bring the staff to me. All in all, quite elementary magic sir." He smiles.
robnie 12-02-06, 03:36 AM	(the staff is 4 feet tall so its hard tot ell hwo the gnome uses it) "humm the badger is my moving digging swimming surfing flying teleporting plane shifting animal moving mechanical castle in form of a badger" (he said that in like 5 secs hehe)
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 03:38 AM	" well then, it is quite a shame for this castle of yours, that polymorph spells change one's truename...." ((no they don't, but go with me:))) "well, now that the staff is back, shall we commence?"
robnie 12-02-06, 03:41 AM	(you might think im god molding but ok) "sure lets play" Vivi begins to meld with the earth as he disapears into the ground after he takes his staff
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 03:46 AM	((it's alright, don't worry:))) John teleports into the arena and looks around. He then flies up and points his hand at the ground beneath him. Slowly, the earth begins to turn to lava. " I advise, sir, that you exit the ground as soon as you can, I wouldn't recommend staying down there."
robnie 12-02-06, 03:52 AM	"HA" you see a lava form of ViVi rise "i can fuse with the elements though lava drains to mutch mana" ViVi returns to regular and places his hand on the ground "EARTH ENTRAPMENT the earth returns and starts forming a dome but this time it overlaps itself and it entwines inside so theres no reaching the outside till you destroy the pillars
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 03:56 AM	"Again? My my, all this magical strain can't be doing any good to your health..." As the dome surrounds him, John's form turns incorporeal, and sinks into the earth. Soon, you see his face appear out of the dome and speak. "well well, I believe I have this under control now, destroying it will release me and I can leave at any time, to be sure, but it's far better than nothing..." Tendrils snake out of the earth, attempting to batter ViVi.
robnie 12-02-06, 03:59 AM	the snakes hit ViVi as he staggers back "cursed snakes" "FIRE SORM" massive amounts of fire envolop the inside of the dome repeating itself over and over agian "ugh 1/4 of my mana allready gone"
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 04:03 AM	"Burning the shell that contains you? Oh well, it's your call..." John stops possessing the dome, and reappears outside it. He hums and taps his foot, but remains watchful and waiting for vivi's appearance.
robnie 12-02-06, 04:05 AM	thousands of arrows of lava shoot out of the dome and you see ViVI in fire form smileing "i said i melded with elements" arrows of lava
robnie 12-02-06, 04:09 AM	his eyes start glowing(means hes using lots of power) as he raises his hand and says "burn" the thousands of arrows of lava start encircleing you attacking over and over like a hive of wasps but he starts lowering to the ground and looks likes he out of magic
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 04:11 AM	"Yes, I may be an old man, but I would like to think my memory is not quite that short..." The same sword as before tears out of his arm, but this time it is covered in black ice. He slices some of the arrows in half, and the rest wink out as they approach him. He then flies down to Vivi. "Have you ever heard of an anti-magic field, master Vivi?" You notice that there are several pierce and burn marks on him, though he hides them well.
robnie 12-02-06, 04:12 AM	"yes in times like that i turn to mele"
robnie 12-02-06, 04:15 AM	IMPRISOMENT (unless you can escape) the earth starts covering you bringing you deeper and deeper untill it gets baout 900 feet deep then it starts crushing you
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 04:16 AM	"Very well then, let me see what skills you possess besides magic." He makes some swerving motions with his sword, and brings it down on Vivi's head. At the same time, a stalk ending in a mouth moves from his head towards the mage, gnashing viciously at him. ((EDIT: imprisonment? Anti-magic? hello? *sigh* fine.:P)) John is taken underground, seemingly helpless. "so this is it" he thinks to himself. "He thinks I'm going to die..." He smiles to himself and, ignoring the vast pain, begins to meld into the earth itself and move out. He fights the bonds of the spell, and escapes behind the gnome. He makes a supreme effort to hide his pain, though he does not succeed completely. "Good afternoon, I believe you just tried a spell? Well done, that must've been quite hard..." He swings at the mage, still trying not to land a killing blow.
robnie 12-02-06, 04:18 AM	a chain made of ebony apears before him blocking the attack and it starts multiplying till it totaly encircles him and he says "if you say so" the chains turn to pure flame and he moves his hand forward as if telling them to attack and they start trying to encircle you then constrics you while the kama is slicing you
robnie 12-02-06, 04:20 AM	(im not god molding am i the chains are a innate ability so it dont use mana)
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 04:22 AM	((never said you were. Gold molding though? THat's hillarious:D)) " quite a nice weapon, let me have that for a moment..." The kama dematerializes momentarily and reappears in his hand, he then dismisses the anti-magic field and begins to slash at the chains furiously, simultaneously firing disintegrator rays at it. ((want some editing time?))
robnie 12-02-06, 04:24 AM	(kusari-gama the kama is attached to the chain and if you want to touch a burning kama with the heat of the elemental plane of fire go ahead) you slash through the chains to see hes not there suddenly the earth goes up your legs the tries to crush you and you see ViVi about 3o feet away about to pass out for mana drainage
cog_n_taz 12-02-06, 04:29 AM	The blade on John's arm begins to burn and retract, before being replaced by the precious skeletal claws. He drops the Kama, chain and all. Panting, he manages to dispel the earth spell, barely. He then sways and collapses, though he is still conscious. " A draw is in order, I think."
robnie 12-02-06, 04:30 AM	"yes i do bel" then he pases out and his eyes turn back to regular
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 01:08 PM	((Playing bushido= Playing the code of honor followed by the samurai... hmm... I wonder if you would end up accepting the real world weakness of the kusari gama? It's amazing what you can learn on the path to being a black belt in kendo :D )) Shiro never bothers to block the first strike of the twin weapons, instead leaning ever so slightly to the side and allowing it to pass without contact.Trusting that all of his experiences will tell him what will happen next with it, he quickly strikes at the chain link long before the sickle gets close to him. Easily causing the weapons chain to wrap around his left kodachi, he pulls mightily ((STR score of about 60 at least, i'll have to check the sheet later.)) All the while speaking a few words of arcane might, shiro holds out his right hand, and from it comes forth a series of small orbs, each one content to merely float around shiro's head. Smiling, shiro simply says, "The kusari-gama is an excellent weapon against longer weapons, but sadly my young friend, it has a weakness as well. We'll see if you can find it for yourself." At a whistle from shiro, 3 of the 13 orbs surrounding his head begin shining, then each one quickly fires out a ray of energy, aimed not at his opponent, but at shiro himself! As each ray blazes into the shiro, his eyes begin glowing a rather unnerving green color that lights up the room. As shiro's eyes begin to glow, the holy papers on his blade begin falling off, one by one.. revealing.... ((I'll say what next post, since I'm evil like that.))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 09:29 PM	(im using a katand, what did you do about the Dragon Storm jutsu i used against you?)
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 09:35 PM	Cysel kneels before Shiro, "I yeld I belive my friend needs my help." Cysel heads over to ViVi and takes him out of the arena.
robnie 12-02-06, 09:52 PM	ViVi wakes up looks around and says. "Huh where am i what happaned" Then he looks at Crysel and starts trying to get out of his hands. "let go of me i can carry myslef and WHERES MY STAFF!"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 10:11 PM	"Very well, if you want but dont over do it, you tend to do that alot" Cysel sets Vivi back on the ground. "But are you sure your up for it?" Cysel hands ViVi a potion, the heads over to john and hands him a potion too. "This will heal your wounds as well as restore your mind and body of your powers"
robnie 12-02-06, 10:19 PM	"my staff can do that but thank you this should do good in bartering with the mercanes" he snaps his fingers and a leamounds secure chest apears he opens it and sets the potion in it He pulls out a light blue hat and puts it on then he takes a brown bracer and puts it on then he takes a dark blue bracer and puts it on then he takes a red necklace and puts it on "mutch better now my staff" he places both hands on the staff the wood shatters in a thousand pieces revealing a metal rod with about 50 screws and gears twisting a turning "perfect my rod of perfect renewal gnome style"
Mr_Fox 12-02-06, 10:23 PM	((It seems I fell victim to the deadly "Assumption' bug, I apologize.)) "Very well then, this match is over. Oh well, perhaps later I will fully get to unbind my true blade." In a flash, shiro appears back at the tea table.
robnie 12-02-06, 10:25 PM	"Im so sorry for interupting your match mr.Shiro ViVi levitates about 3 feet in the air then sits down
Foxhengeyokai 12-02-06, 10:32 PM	((:D sorry but this will be my last name switch, seeing as how I now have a custom title for some reason. I love it!!)) Shiro nods. "One must use caution in magic." Shiro smiles broadly and continues "Although I'm suprised that such a little body could hold so much mana."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 10:35 PM	Lafali appears back and with him came the tea table. "So how did my appentice do? I see he still needs to work on the dragon storm jutsu." As he looks around the arena where all the dragon arc hits. "Maybe now he will spend more time training. You are very skilled with your blade, its been a while since i seen a true master of the art." (Lafali went away to take care of something but when you went to the table((which wasnt there anymore)) he decided to come back)
Foxhengeyokai 12-02-06, 10:42 PM	Shiro smiles. "Your apprentice did well for one so young. His stance is sloppy though, his left foot is about 2 inches to far to the left. Other than that, he does well. Oh yes, I couldn't help but hear you mention the word "kami," what ever would lead you to assume I was a kami?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 10:44 PM	"You sould of seen him defending his home, if you could call that mechanize walking badger a home." Cysel walks over to shiro, "You are truely a skilled swordmaster, i hope someday i can come close to your skill" "I am sure that shiro has a few years on you, but i would suggest that next time you spare against him you try using a diffent kenjutsu style. Maybe try genkotsu-jutsu or ni-to-kenjutsu" (Lafali said this)
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 10:45 PM	"Ohh i belive ViVi was talking about me, i have been called one a few times" Lafali laughs as he sips his tea.
Foxhengeyokai 12-02-06, 10:53 PM	Shiro looks like ihe is about to laugh and merely says "And here I was thinking he would act like a friend of mine when I mentioned his small body, but it seems he has relaxed a bit. As for the techniques, I only got to the 2nd of the 14 crowning techniques of the Kitsu-kami school. A good school, of my own make, I see now that it has one flaw though, humans, elves, and half orcs are almost certainly unable to use it. Of course the little ones, such as the gnomes and halflings aren't even half qualified to use this style. Although, a kobold could learn it, had it only the needed discipline. You seem confused, I'll explain. The fang of the fox school and it's ultimate form, the fang of the fox god form both require a speed far past most races capabilities. This right here could be seen as a flaw. Small schools may easily fall into stagnation, then they will die."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 11:06 PM	"Yes my own school has that weakness, few have the speed and spirtal powers to use the rilynnathem style. Cysel is starting to learn how to control his spirit power to incress his speed but he still thinks thinks like the elf he once was and not the daiyouhai he is now. Maybe I souldnt of showed him how to awaken his daiyouhai blood. But whats done is done and all i can do is train him as a daiyouhai warlord." (hope its not againts the rules to use alot of homebrew template/class/weapons) Lafali sets down his cup, "I would love to see your homeland but i havnt found it in any of my books, would you mind showing me the way?"
Foxhengeyokai 12-02-06, 11:14 PM	((Against the rules... nope. Just make sure to keep them fair, and keep in mind that few people can stand fighting godlike beings all the time, hence why shiro fights so infrequently. Namely why he has fought exactly 4 times in about 3 or 4 months I think. Of course... what do you expect from a 103 level, 15 divine rank character??)) "Show you my homeland... very well. Next time you see a sakura tree, speak with the trees spirit. It will drop a number of petals according to your skill, then you must catch each one before it hits the ground. If you can do that, you'll find yourself there. Just keep in mind... none of your kind live there, so you may not be well received."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 11:21 PM	(wow i dont feel so bad...cysel is only 58th with 8 hd in outsider) Lafali smiles softly, "I am not what i appear to be, i do belive that some of my kind once lived there" [you see an image of a gold oreintal dragon appear in your mind] "It has just been to long since i have need to take that form, few would alow me to go as i please. Who would stop an aged man from walking the roads of napon (Just had to say that :D ). Now lets see when was the last time i have seen a sakura tree?" Lafali seems to be thinking about the past.
Foxhengeyokai 12-02-06, 11:27 PM	"Hmmm... those trees are rare in these lands now, sadly."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 11:33 PM	"I think i still have some in my garden come to think of it, if your homelands have sakura trees then it must be like mine." A sad look crosses Lafali face. "Would you think one of those trees would have the proper spirit?"
robnie 12-02-06, 11:41 PM	"Ohh i want to go back to you house, i love that firedrake you have as a pet, what was her name again..........ohh i know scarlet. I want to visit scarlet again, and i wounder if that tree has regrown its leaves. And no i still saying i didnt set it on fire. It was scarlet fault, she wanted to know who could use the best fire magic." ViVi looks excited about lafali mention of his garden.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-02-06, 11:45 PM	"If i go back i will let you come along, only if you and scarlet promise that nether of yall will use firemagic in my garden. Cysel could you head on and get the place ready for guests incase we decide to go."
robnie 12-02-06, 11:50 PM	" No fire magic, got it :D ." ViVi looks mischieveous. In soft wisper everone hears "never said i wouldnt use lave magic"
Foxhengeyokai 12-03-06, 03:06 AM	"Hmm... depends on the trees. Most I know of won't admit any but my kind, and dragons. Also, any magical shapechanging effects tend to be oether disspelled, or horribly twisted. I suggest that you drop any such effects if you go in. Also, were either of you to cause trouble there, you would have to answer to me, understood?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-03-06, 04:21 PM	"Ahh, then i dont think i would take ViVi or cysel if i go, they tend to over react. But thanks for saying that bit about shapechanging, ill need to remember that. I think ill go see if there are any sakura trees within my garden." Lafali bows before shiro, then a soft mist forms around him, as the mist gose away so dose lafali.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 04:57 PM	Alright...let's give this a try. IC: The gates to the arena open slowly, revealing a massive centaur-like figure silhouetted against a blinding light. Sunlight glints off the few patches of gleaming metal remaining on its tarnished armor, and it lumbers foward with a slow but unstoppable force. As the doors are shouldered aside, the creature steps into the light, and becomes truly visible for the first time. A massive knight, garbed in tarnished silver and gold armor and wearing the sign of a Paladin of Pelor, sits astride a heavily armored rhinoceros. Across the figure's back rests an enormous rectangular blade, resembling a cross of steel, a rusted and bloodstained morningstar in the shape of the snarling face of Erythnul, and a large shield bearing the image of the sun, and in its hand it clutches a deadly lance of white oak. The knight raises his visor, and, from beneath the burnished helm, the beastial face of a bugbear is visible. The creature holds up a hand, silencing the arena, and calls out its challenge in a deep and gutteral voice. "In the name of Pelor, Illuminator of Shadows, Bringer of Light, Banisher of Darkness, I, Rynce D'Janas, once Krudag Bloodmace, come forth to do battle!"
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 05:09 PM	Jaden looks up and locks eyes with the newcomer. She gets up, drawing herself to her full height. "Welcome, Krudag," she spits, "to our arena. What brings your threacherous hide here?"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 05:56 PM	The bugbear dismounts, striding over to Jaden. His voice is chilling and deadly, and he looks menacingly at the woman before him. "Do not call me that name, girl. I am Rynce D'Janas now, and I come to herald the grace of Pelor." As if to emphasize his point he slams his morningstar heavily into the ground beside him, the snarling face of The Many exposed, its teeth bared in a hideous grin.
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 06:04 PM	Jaden sweeps her greatsword out of its sheath and slams it, point first, into the ground. You can see the red runes of power on it, each saying the same thing, in countless languages. Despair "Know who you speak to, cur. You stand before Jaden Blackblade, knight of Tassadanis, Lord of Judgement. You have yet to serve your sentence!" ((She's got a reputation. A big one))
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 06:13 PM	Rynce D'Janas stand unfazed. "I know as well as you do, Jaden Blackblade. And I am here to do it. When the mace of Erythnul breaks over the spirits of evil, my sentence is done. And your blade, while impressive, is the bearer of ill news. I prefer my own." Rynce taps the massive blade across his own back. "This is Altar. The blade of hope and the bastion of good. I cannot wield it without destroying myself completely. But I will soon be able to, and then the darkness will cower before me."
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 06:17 PM	Jaden lets loose a predatory snarl. ((Man, nothing makes her angrier than villans who become paladins. It seems, to her, like the stain on their soul cannot be removed. She only makes an exception for Gareth because he did, in fact, lack a soul while he was a death knight.)) "Professional courtesy says I must allow you to do battle with whomever you wish. Sign the waiver, pay the fee like everyone else when you find an opponent. I hope to see you bleed, mongrel."
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 06:33 PM	Rynce signs the book with a heavy scrawl, and then glares at Jaden as he remounts his rhinoceros. As the beast lumbers off, Rynce turns in the saddle and calls back to Jaden. "And I hope you suffer the same someday, hag!" OOC: Paladin? Eh...sort of. I was more using Paladin to mean knight. He's not really a paladin yet...sort of a would-be crusader. With some martial manuever-style attacks thrown in for flavor. And he's not your typical 'kind to the poor/stick up his ***** paladin" either...he still has a lot of those nasty bugbear vibes.
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 06:35 PM	((Oh, believe me, I know the type of paladin you're shooting for. See Jaden. She's an ass to everyone and everything that exists, including her god. She just happens to be a highly devoted ass))
robnie 12-03-06, 06:43 PM	A 2 feet tall gnome wearing a light blue hat a black robe a red necklace a dark brown bracer and a dark blue bracer flys toward you "OOOOHH a bit rhino does it bite?"
robnie 12-03-06, 06:48 PM	"Why do you bother puting armor on it? It just slows it down look at me" He starts flying up down right every direction possiable
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 06:48 PM	Rynce looks distainfully at the tiny humanoid before him. "It does, if I so choose. And had you ever tried to slow down a fully grown War Rhinoceros, you'd know the armor hardly hinders him at all." "Now, who are you, runt?"
robnie 12-03-06, 06:50 PM	ViVI grins "Runt? i hope your joking. Young people these days have no manners do they miss?"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 06:52 PM	Rynce's tones are leaden. "I don't joke."
robnie 12-03-06, 06:52 PM	"Have you ever tried runign into a wall of earth 5 feet thick infused with raw adamantite?"
robnie 12-03-06, 06:55 PM	ViVI smiles and says "Im a master of elements so a rhino like that has no chance to even touch me and frankly neither do you. Brute strenth is good sometimes but fighting the elements it doesant work well."
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 06:55 PM	"Why would I? I'm no fool. But I'd wager Brian ((Rynce reaches down and pats his rhinoceros)) could plow straight through it." "And you think I can do nothing against the elements? Fah! Pathetic creature! What good it wind or water when I have my hands around your throat?"
robnie 12-03-06, 06:58 PM	"OOPS i mean adamantite" (in the campaign i play ebony is the strongest metal discovered its from the elder scrolls)
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 06:59 PM	OOC: change the ebony post...I changed mine, so its no longer valid
robnie 12-03-06, 07:03 PM	(done) "Watch this" ViVi turns into air and his hat starts glowing "Thats what helps and this" A massiver force of wind starts blowing untill it gets about 200 mph "Wind may be weak slow but fast its stronger then almost anything"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 07:05 PM	But the high winds do nothing to move the bulk of Brian. The rhinoceros seems completely immobile. Rynce looks on scornfully. "Humph. Not much, is it?"
robnie 12-03-06, 07:07 PM	"heavy areant you" The wind starts going faster and faster and faster "i dont want to get to strong" He said this as a small tornado starts apearing and growing
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 07:10 PM	And still Brian does not move. "As I said...not much. You'll find him harder to move than you think, gnome. I'm not only a swordsman." With that, Rynce raises a hand and the winds die down to a peaceful calm. "Now...are you done showing off your weaknesses? Will answer my question? Who are you?"
robnie 12-03-06, 07:16 PM	"Fine" A light blue portal apears as MASSIVE wind force like 1500 mph shoots out "And im ViVi the magnifeciant black mage controler of the elemetns travler of the planes master engineer the first to create a mechanized intelegant giant sized badger that is a castle that plane shifts teleports digs swims surfs crawls and flys AND has about 5,000,000 gp in items in it besides the mechanized magic items i amde in my time
Daeren 12-03-06, 07:16 PM	((Pardon me for asking, but since im not really wanting to till through 60-odd pages of story and rules [and Ive RPed a lot, and know a lot of people get ticked if you don't], could I join, is there some sort of power limit [AKA can I use Epic Daeren or normal Daeren], and what exactly's been going on?))
robnie 12-03-06, 07:16 PM	(hes a gnome what do you expect?)
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 07:20 PM	In the face of ViVi's attack, Brian is finally pushed back. But only a few feet, for the monstrous creature digs in his massive feet, and pushes back, actually making headway against the wind. Rynce draws his morningstar, which begins to glow with a brilliant white flame. "So...this is what it comes down to, is it? Are you intentionally provoking my wrath? I am not bound by a Paladin's code. Nothing prevents me from killing you. What have you to say?"
robnie 12-03-06, 07:21 PM	'I just was protecting my honnor as a elemental user everyone undersetimates them im so sorry if i offended you" His hat stops glowing and the portal closes (A gnome who has always been insulted for his size and couse of his choice in magic for about 30,000 years is ganna get a bit testy when you insult him)
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 07:23 PM	"Ha. But I will accept your apology this time. Watch yourself in the future." "Now, how does this arena work? When am I to battle?" OOC: Understandable. Sorry Rynce is such a bastard, but that's just his personality
robnie 12-03-06, 07:26 PM	"Sign your name put 10 gp in the can put your skill lvl and wait and your holy would do nothing to me for there is nothing evil in my life nothing holy could ever hurt me i am less evil then yall are"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 07:29 PM	"So I wait." "As to the holiness...my power is granted by Pelor's grace, but who said it was holy? It would rip through your tiny frame like a ten-season's gale through a pile of leaves."
Daeren 12-03-06, 07:31 PM	((Aww, what the heck. I'll just pop in as epic then. He's a lot more fun :P and I could have proverbially pull his punches if hes drastically undermatched)) In the shadows near them, a patch seems to get darker and begin to absorb the shadow around it, and a figure steps out of it. He's somewhat short, maybe 5'8", with a grey cloak on his shoulders that makes him seem indistinct. A mask that resembles a Yin-Yang with eyeholes covers his face, and an incredibly ornate scimitar lies on his hip, a short sword covered in runes on the other. Strapped to his back is a simple-looking bow, though it seems to be more than it looks like. He is mumbling to himself, looking around as if constantly distracted by something on the edge of his vision. ((The shadow thing was Ghostwalker's Shadowwalk ability.))
robnie 12-03-06, 07:32 PM	"Hehe i may be small but i am mutch tougher then i look" (melding with elements is a con baced thing woundent it and his skin is very tough for training in the elemetnal plain of earth)
robnie 12-03-06, 07:34 PM	(ok sence your new ill do it agian) A 2 foot gnome with a light blue hat a red necklace a dark blue and a dark brown bracer floating about 3 feet above the ground flys over to you and says "Hi ya whats your name whats with mask?"
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 07:34 PM	Jaden looks over. "Actually, there are wards preventing you from killing him. Official matches only, unless you'd like to end up at the bottom of the river Styx like the last guy."
Daeren 12-03-06, 07:37 PM	The man looked at Vivi like he was some pest, clearly annoyed at something. "You can call me Qel, if you really must talk to me," he said in a slightly rasping voice, as though he hadn't talked to anyone in a few days. "Where am I?" ((He calls himself Qel so he doesnt lose Ghostwalker abilities due to people knowing his name. That mask gives him Mind Blank, so no mind reading and getting the real name, either. It also has Alter Self. It's basically a custom Mask of Lies)
robnie 12-03-06, 07:39 PM	ViVI looks down and flys away from you "Why is everyone rude here i mean come on your all jerks" ViVi looks at jaden and says "Realy what type i must see and what river" then he looks at qel "A arena you jerk"
Daeren 12-03-06, 07:42 PM	He grumbled under his breath again, shaking his head. "Sorry," he said. "It's just I'm not the most social person. Prefer to be alone. So I don't hurt anyone." He gripped his right hand, which was bandaged up to the elbow.
robnie 12-03-06, 07:46 PM	"i doubt you would hurt me easy i can usaly run from anything"
Daeren 12-03-06, 07:49 PM	He laughed darkly. "You can't run from what he does," he said bitterly. "So you never did answer me: Where am I?"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 07:50 PM	Rynce shrugs at Jaden's comment. "Huh, Styx. Been there, done that, lived to tell about it. What else do you have?" He tosses her a small cloth bag. It rattles as it hits the ground in front of her. "There. Let the games begin."
robnie 12-03-06, 07:51 PM	" A arena where i have no idea i just heard of it from"ViVi looks like hes in thought then says "humm i dont remember but i take it were on the material plane?(hes a 10th plane shifter so moving form plane to plane is like taking a step)
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 07:52 PM	"Step onto the floor, and declare a match type. I suggest death, but there's also first blood, knockout, and yield."
robnie 12-03-06, 07:52 PM	"Being rude like that where my favorite place is is a death wish"
Daeren 12-03-06, 07:53 PM	"I just got out of a Shadow walk, so I would assume so," he said. He turned. "Is that match available? I need to vent anger."
robnie 12-03-06, 07:54 PM	"Im afraid to pick death match i dont like killing" ViVi looks like he has a sad memory on his face
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 07:55 PM	Rynce steps out into the arena. His voice is somber, the herald of things to come. "Let it be death." He then drops to his knees, his morningstar held before him in both hands, its spiked head resting on the ground. "Lord of Light and Life, if I should fall this day, bring my spirit back, for I would continue to fight in your name."
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 07:56 PM	"You've got a third member people. Let the games begin!" ((Yep, you can get in on it Daren))
robnie 12-03-06, 07:58 PM	"Lady jaden may i make the arena a bit more .. interesting? i would not dar not try without your or gareths conscent?"
Daeren 12-03-06, 07:58 PM	He grinned. "Don't worry, I'll try to make the clean-up job as simple as possible for the janitors," he said, drawing his blades and stepping into the ring. He suddenly seemed profoundly...different. He was menacing, and the very air around him rippled with heat.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 08:02 PM	Rynce stands up and pulls himself onto Brian's back. Raising the tip of his lance, he salutes his opponents, then lowers the weapon. Brian's legs rip apart the ground as the gigantic beast surges foward, Rynce's lance tip aimed straight for Qel's heart.
Daeren 12-03-06, 08:04 PM	He zipped to the side almost instantly, nicking the tip off the lance and effectively making it blunt. "Is that the best you can do, sun-worshipper?" he said, yawning.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 08:06 PM	Rynce swings the lance sideways, catching the man a sweeping blow to the side of the head. "No."
robnie 12-03-06, 08:08 PM	"HEY YALL WANT ME TO MAKE THIS A TRUE DEATH MATCH" ViVi yells
Daeren 12-03-06, 08:08 PM	He went hurtling across the arena, but caught himself on the ground. "Mr. Funny man," he said, cracking his neck. He gestured to the ground below Rynce, and suddenly enormous thorn-covered vines erupted from the ground below him, wrapping around him and his mount, squeezing mercilessly. "I knew my training as a ranger would come in handy some day," he said, laughing.
robnie 12-03-06, 08:11 PM	"OH COME ON THOSE VINES WOULD DO NOTHING ON ME GIVE THAT LANCE A SHARPENING" ViVI is well jumping in the aiir puting his hands around his mouth acting like a true spectator
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 08:13 PM	Brian struggles against the vines for a few short seconds before the fibers simply tear under the strain. The beast lowers its great head and charges foward, its mighty horn ready to impale the ghostwalker. Rynce tosses aside the worthless lance and draws his rusty morningstar, readying it to strike. Lowering his visor, he crouches low over his mount, preparing for the impact.
robnie 12-03-06, 08:16 PM	(( hey anyone here play a pc game called everquest?))
Daeren 12-03-06, 08:22 PM	(Gah, I hate my internet XD) There was no impact. At the last second, Qel blinked into the ethereal realm, then blinked back in after the mount was past. Only, he was on the mount. He then swiftly stabbed Rynce in the back with his shortsword.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 08:24 PM	With the blade caught between the plates of his heavy armor, Rynce twists violently sideways, throwing Qel to the ground. Clutching at his bleeding back, Rynce twitches the reins. Almost immediately, Brian rears up, pawing the air, and begins to fall again...onto Qel.
Daeren 12-03-06, 08:27 PM	This time, Qel didn't get out of the way fast enough, and there was a sickening crunching of bone as the beast fell on him. Beneath the beast, Qel had caught the mount's feet, and was desperately holding them off him so as not to be crushed by it's full weight. Now, something was definately strange about him. The aura around him started to get darker, and a black pus oozed from underneath his bandaged arm.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 08:29 PM	Rynce points his open hand down at the stricken man and a brilliant white fire leaps from his fingers. "May the flames of Pelor cleanse your unclean soul." The fire engulfs Qel, burning with a holy and radiant pain.
Daeren 12-03-06, 08:32 PM	He screamed in agony - only it wasn't his voice screaming. There was suddenly an eruption of dark energy from him, sending Rynce and his mount flying. When the dust settled, 'Qel' was floating in the air. "I will not let my vessel die," he hissed in a new voice. "And his name is Daeren, not Qel. He just calls himself Qel so he maintains the powers granted to him by following the path of a Ghostwalker."
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 08:33 PM	Rynce seems slightly shaken for the first time. Then he regathers his resolve. His body begins to glow with a bright yellow aura as he steps forward, his morningstar dripping white flames. "Who are you?"
Daeren 12-03-06, 08:35 PM	"You need not know," he said. "You will be dead soon enough." Rynce's mount suddenly cried out, and collapsed dead. "Let's get rid of that little advantage, shall we?"
robnie 12-03-06, 08:35 PM	" I believe the fight just got a bit more gruesome"
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 08:40 PM	((Keeping pace Gideon? I know this is a bit faster than you're used to))
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 08:42 PM	"NO!" Rynce rushes over to his fallen mount, tears welling up in his eyes. He spends several seconds sobbing before the corpse, before turning around. His red eyes still water, but burn with a ferocity even the lords of hell would back away from. He grips his weapon so hard his steel gauntlet is bending under the pressure. When he speaks, his voice is a tormented scream, coming between heartfelt sobs. "How...could you? You...complete...and utter...BASTARD!" Rynce surges forward, swinging his morningstar backwards as he runs. A primal scream of rage and despair escapes the knight's throat. As he approaches his foe, he swings downward with impossible force, the burning head of the weapon searing through flesh and bone. Then Rynce lands on his opponent, lifting him bodily into the air. OOC: Yeah...its not to bad
Daeren 12-03-06, 08:46 PM	He winced in pain, clenching his teeth, then bodily hurling Rythe off. "Hah...poor deluded fool, caring more for an animal than you do for your own safety," he laughed. He suddenly clutched his head, howling. "Not now!" he groaned, then switched back to Daeren's voice. "RUN!!!" he howled. "You can't beat him! Just run for your life!!" He fumbled and tossed a scroll of Raise Dead to Rythe. "Use that on your mount and run!"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 08:46 PM	"What...is he?"
Prak, the Mad 12-03-06, 08:46 PM	"Ah, you were the young woman who said she was in charge," Gardosen says as he walks over to Jaden, replacing his cloak over his shoulders, "I wanted to know if I put the appropriate value in your can..."
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 08:47 PM	"The fee is ten gold per fight. You can pay in advance if you want."
Daeren 12-03-06, 08:48 PM	"He's an archdevil," he said. "You can either run or we can exchange pleasantries until he gains enough control to possess me again and pick his teeth with your spine! GO!"
robnie 12-03-06, 08:52 PM	KANE-do BAR SPIRT Qel you fell like your entraped by a abr " i do believe that should stop you even if just for a while"
Daeren 12-03-06, 08:52 PM	((BAh, got to go. See ya again.)) He then focused himself and forced himself to go shadow, where he couldn't harm anyone.
robnie 12-03-06, 08:53 PM	( a gnoem who hates killing is not ganna stand by and watch a arch devil kill someone)
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 08:54 PM	Rynce dives forward, grabbing the scroll, and scrambles up again. Against all expectations, he bodily lifts Brian's corpse and runs for his life, throwing caution to the winds. As he runs, shining white wards spring up behind him until he crashes straight through the arena doors, leaving shards of wood and metal in his wake. Then he turns to the empty stadium. His voice rings out, even reaching to the plane of shadows, where Qel lurks. "Daeren, you will be freed. Devil...there will be a reckoning. Hear this. I am Rynce D'Janas, and here and now I swear before the world and before Pelor, I will be the last thing you ever see!" With that, Rynce turns his back on the devil and strides out of the battlefield.
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 09:03 PM	And smacks right into a wall of force. "Deathmatch, remember? You're stuck, nothing I, nor anyone else, can do about it. This is why we make you sign a waiver." Jaden peers down from the balcony. "Two of ya have to die for the match to finish."
robnie 12-03-06, 09:03 PM	ViVi looks at the arena then syas "Anyone for me to fight? I am bored i need to test my strengh i havent used these items in 5 or 600 years"
robnie 12-03-06, 09:04 PM	(two?)
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 09:06 PM	((It was a three-man deathmatch, you, Gideon, and Daren))
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 09:08 PM	"So be it." Rynce reverently set Brian's body down on the ground and draws his morningstar again. The white fire engulfs him, burning with holy power. The knight-crusader steels himself for what appears to be his final battle. Flames race up and down his armor, and his tear-stained face shines with an inner light. Rynce approaches the center of the arena again, and his voice rings out, deep, sorrowful, and vengeful. He falls to his knees and screams out to the heavens. "DEVIL! COME OUT! ONE OF US WILL DIE THIS DAY, AND, BY PELOR, IT WILL NOT BE ME! MY CHALLENGE STILL HOLDS!" OOC: I didn't think Robnie was fighting...
robnie 12-03-06, 09:09 PM	(realy????) ViVI sighs "Im sorry for this but i must" ViVis eyes glow black and his bracer glows IMPRISONMENT The earth beneath you splits open reaviling a pool of lave then the earth covers you foricng you into the lava
robnie 12-03-06, 09:11 PM	Then ViVi's necklace glows as he holds his hand out and says "BURN" Arrows of lave shoot at yall attacking like a swarm of wasps (neither did i)
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 09:12 PM	And as the spell begins, the light surrounding Rynce consumes it. The earth reseals, fresh and new. Rynce turns toward ViVi, his face a terrible mask of despair, fear, hatred and resolve. "NO! DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THIS! THIS IS BETWEEN ME, AND THAT BEAST!" OOC: if you didn't think you were part of it either, can't you arrange something to leave? Cause if you didn't even remember joining, the contract shouldn't apply...Gareth? Some help here?
robnie 12-03-06, 09:14 PM	(if gareth syas its ok then ill be out of it i ViVI dont like killing)
robnie 12-03-06, 09:21 PM	(( you there gareth))
Prak, the Mad 12-03-06, 09:23 PM	"The fee is ten gold per fight. You can pay in advance if you want." "oh... um, then I believe I have many battles to fight, that gem is worth a fair amount..." Gardosen seems to wander away within his own head as he ponders aloud "Lets see... was that the paladin or the clerics soul... or was that the fighter? hmm... could have been the dretch... lets see... jet.. was.. huh, maybe it was the blackguard... ravager? oh, it was the solar. right. ok so that gem was worth 2200 gp. So I guess I've got a lot of battles. unless there are additional costs for room and board perhaps?
Lord_Gareth 12-03-06, 09:24 PM	((I'm guessing bad memory on my part. There is, however, an easy solution; Arena Policy states that if there's enough of the body left, the first ressurection is free. Kill 'im and chuck the body out of the battlefield. If you don't like that solution, tell me and I'll think more. There are rules I've set down that I have to work within, and the only one that can break them is elsewhere))
robnie 12-03-06, 09:26 PM	(ViVi dies he is just reborn by the elements but it takes months and i dont want to wait that long to use him agian)
robnie 12-03-06, 09:27 PM	(but i think i can kill them anough where thesers anough of them to be rezed but itl be tough :P )
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 09:29 PM	OOC: Solution found. Tell me if its not acceptable. BIC: Rynce turns his face to the Heavens once more. "Lord of Light, I would request a boon. This man and I have no quarrels, and yet one of us must die...I cannot allow that. I have a misson already. Please, remove him from my presence." As Rynce finishes, the sun rises, shining through the dark clouds. The sky opens, revealing a blinding figure of light, who slowly descends until it hovers just over the arena. The avatar of Pelor speaks in a crackling, bell-like voice. YES. And ViVi is suddenly sitting dazed and confused in the stands. OOC: Does this work? Cause then I get to finish this kind of personal battle.
robnie 12-03-06, 09:35 PM	( he got off so you cant finish it anyway you got another char?)
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 09:36 PM	OOC: Well, yes, but I'm a big fan of Rynce...and you're not gonna kill him easily. I simply wanted to go 1 on 1 with the devil, cause now its personal Anyway, I have to leave soon as well...and you're not killing me simply so I can leave.
Prak, the Mad 12-03-06, 09:36 PM	Gardosen's ears seemto teitch as he turns towards the arena. "By Pelor? Lord of Light? Am I perhaps in the presence of worshippers of the Sun God?" gardosen seems visibly interested, as a wolf is interested in a plump rabbit. "Ki-" "Hush pigspitter!" Gardosen says as his hand flies to the crossguard of his large sword.
robnie 12-03-06, 09:38 PM	(ViVi has like 5 elixirs of life in his chest he solos so what does he need? there true res potions and i meant so you can not play him till daeran gets abck on its kinda hard to playe a 2 peson battle when only 1 is on)
Gideon_Gideonson 12-03-06, 09:44 PM	OOC:What do you mean? You don't want to be removed by a divine entity, and you want one of us to die? I thought ViVi didn't like killing things...
robnie 12-03-06, 09:46 PM	(i dont care i was replying to me earlier post)
robnie 12-03-06, 09:47 PM	(prak you talking to me?)
Prak, the Mad 12-03-06, 09:49 PM	((more of a general question to those in the arena))
robnie 12-03-06, 09:49 PM	ViVi looks at you and says "what if he is?"
Prak, the Mad 12-03-06, 09:56 PM	"Merely interested. perhaps he and I may battle next... after a ressurection, possibly"
robnie 12-03-06, 10:06 PM	( slow post eh?)
robnie 12-03-06, 10:09 PM	(Well were waiting for gareth's reply atm)
robnie 12-03-06, 10:24 PM	(Well gareth got off so what now?)
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 12:12 AM	A Large grey robe floats over to the arena. You think you see the briefest flashes of something in there, but when you look again, all you see in it is shadows, it is far too dark inside to tell if there is someone inside or not. He places 10 gold on the counter and drifts towards the arena. Soon, Gardosen feels an invisible force dragging him there too. A voice in his mind speaks: " Come, wolf man. We have a battle to fight." The voice is absolutely flat and toneless, free of emotion.
robnie 12-04-06, 12:32 AM	ViVi flys over to the robe and says cheerfuly(he always talks cheerfuly unless you call him small tiny run or anythinjg of that sort) "Welcome to the arena wheres your body?"
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 01:00 AM	"what business do you have with me ghost? I believe the fine lady over there requires a platinum's worth for a match, do you have it?"
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 01:39 AM	((My ninjitsu (NOT JUTSU! NARUTO GOT THE F***ING WORD WRONG) is strong today)) ((actually... jutsu just means 'art' essentially, and they use it as a catch all term for their various skills, there's ninjutsu, which is their general art, taijutsu, genjutsu, etc.))
robnie 12-04-06, 01:45 AM	(nin= ninja jutsu=technique am i correct?)
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 01:47 AM	I believe so, btw, what are the rules about summoning?
robnie 12-04-06, 01:48 AM	(no idea)
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 01:50 AM	((damn))
robnie 12-04-06, 01:56 AM	((btw i havent read 56+ till i started posting so who are you?))
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 01:59 AM	I've got a few characters, Gardosen, the wolfman in the battle with Thund, K'th'on, the other cloaked figure that entered with him(page 56 ish), Largos, Gardosen's Huge Horse-like mount, and a character named Pigspitter that Gardosen keeps hushing.
robnie 12-04-06, 02:02 AM	(( ok well ViVi cant do anything till gareths awnser so im stuck))
LivingShadow 12-04-06, 04:38 PM	((Summoning is allowed, Vicros has done it in all of his matches and I saw no complaints.)) "Rynce, I hope you know what you are getting into."
Gideon_Gideonson 12-04-06, 04:53 PM	Rynce scans the still empty arena as he answers. "What is that thing?"
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 05:00 PM	((Summoning is allowed, Vicros has done it in all of his matches and I saw no complaints.)) "Rynce, I hope you know what you are getting into." ((sweet, thanks))
LivingShadow 12-04-06, 05:05 PM	((No problem.))
Foxhengeyokai 12-04-06, 08:05 PM	Shiro looks on as Valor walks up to him. Shiro: "Been awhile, how Goes your training?" Valor: "It's going well, the teacher only knocked me out once, unlike you." Shiro: "Ah, give them a while, they'll get to it."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-04-06, 08:18 PM	A soft golden mist forms in the room as Cysel materialize. "Master said i could have a few days off." He looks at the arena, "What no one sparing? Well lets fix that anyone want to duel me?"
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 08:24 PM	((it already paid)) He speaks the following in the minds of gardosen and vivi vivi: "a body? I have never had and never will have a body..." gardosen: "I am no ghost... I simply am"
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 09:27 PM	John strolls over to cysel. "well, if you are looking for a duel, I'd be happy to comply. To the arena than?" He teleports into the arena and waits quietly.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-04-06, 09:38 PM	Cysel follows John to the arena. "What type of match would you like to have?"
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 09:41 PM	"knockout, than" Strange, skeletal wings part bone and part crackling black energy sprout from John's back. He flies into the air above cysel. A single large eye opens on his left arm, and fires a pale green ray at cysel(disintegrate).
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 09:44 PM	((sorry, missed that)) "You lack a corporeal form, that's close enough to ghosts for me. Very well, we shall fight. One on One, knock out. If I cannot touch you I have no reason to fight to the death. Oh, and for future reference, might I suggest staying OUT of my mind, it's not a very pleasant place." Gardosen walks down to the arena floor and awaits the ghost. the spirit feels a creeping feeling as a raspy, weaselly voice slips into it's own mind. "Who do you revere? Pelor perhaps? maybe some other sun god?" the spirit feels another presence within it's mind, probing for any piousness. ((does the spirit detect as good?))
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 09:48 PM	The spirit's path is blacked by the mental equivelant of a steel wall and gardosen is stunned momentarily. "no, I revere no god, I am merely a purpose".((He detects, by the way, as the kind of LN that would be over the top for a modron.)) " A knockout shall suffice... for now" The air around Gardosen seems to turn gray and hazy, the wolf-man feels himself being pulled towards the ground and crushed by an incredible force. ((think gravity form hell))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-04-06, 09:49 PM	Cysel prayer beads forms into an ebony sythe with a grey sickle, "Fine lets both use darker magic, Death Gate" With a swipe of his sythe cysel forms a portal to the land of the dead, which the ray entered. "Lets see what comes out this time" [about 5 rounds till the gate is fully form btw]
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 09:52 PM	"Darker magic? Oh no... this is no magic, it is part of me". Doctor John appears behind Cysel. With a groaning, tearing sound, a toothed maw appears in his hand. The hand seems to grow and grow, all the while spitting acid, and tries to swallow Cysel.
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 09:53 PM	"He says a knock out will suffice" "fine by me." ((it wasn't gardosen in the spirit's head)) with great effort, Gardosen raises his head and looks the spirit square in the 'face', and it begins to feel a nigh-indomitable urge to stop it's effect
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 09:56 PM	((did you notice my attack?)) The earth begins to slowly buckle under Gardosen from the pressing force, and he starts to slowly sink into a depression in the ground. The air around him is now an opaque grey screen.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-04-06, 09:57 PM	Cysel forms a shield of darkness behind him to stop the toothed maw. Just then a bolt of darkness shoots forth from the portal and hits cysel in the back as he screams in pain.
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 10:00 PM	John winces at the sight as well as the percieved incompetence as the bolt strikes cysel, the maw on his hand devours the shield entirely, but none the less they seem to cancel eachother out. The maw disappears, and his right hand and forearm twist into the shape of a drill of charred flesh, which he rams into Cysel.
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 10:02 PM	((did you notice my attack?)) The earth begins to slowly buckle under Gardosen from the pressing force, and he starts to slowly sink into a depression in the ground. The air around him is now an opaque grey screen. ((yeah, I edited my post, I'll put it here)) with great effort, Gardosen raises his head and looks the spirit square in the 'face', and it begins to feel a nigh-indomitable urge to stop it's effect
Gaelro_Nailo 12-04-06, 10:06 PM	Still trying to overcome the effects of the bolt cysel dosnt sees the drill till it hits him. "I need to remember that San-ull dosnt like me that well. Well i cant close the gate just yet so lets try this, Cyclone of Darkness. With quick spin of his sythe cysel creates a cyclone of negitive energy. Arcs of darkness (like the one that hit cysel) strikes randomly around the arena. "Lets see how well we do in this storm shall we?"
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 10:08 PM	"Very well, this force is no longer necessar, we will oblige you" The robed figure (no, it is not a ragamoffyn cleric of st. cuthbert, some idiot asked me in a PM:nonono: ) raises its hand and a void appears in the middle of the arena, which Gardosen feels himself slowly being sucked towards. As he draws closer, time seems to slow, and the air around him once again becomes gray, translucent and unbearably hot. Strangest of all though, you find that you hardly care anymore. It all seems so natural, so right, you can't imagine things any other way. All there is in the world is you, the robed figure, and the hole, dragging you towards it almost too slowly for you to bear... you just want it all to be over, you want to sleep, perhaps forever... EDIT: prak, you there?
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 10:17 PM	"quite well sir, I assure you, quite well". John flies off and begins to actively seek the bolts of negative energy, absorbig each one as it hits him. He begins to look more skeletal and shadowy with each hit.. eventually, he turns to Cysel. "I think you dropped this." He points a hand of bone and shadow at Cysel and unleashes a huge ray of crackling black negative energy at him, not unlike a sphere of annihilation in ray form. He lands and sits down, musing to himself "perhaps I've overdone it..."
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 10:27 PM	"Very well, this force is no longer necessar, we will oblige you" The robed figure (no, it is not a ragamoffyn cleric of st. cuthbert, some idiot asked me in a PM:nonono: ) raises its hand and a void appears in the middle of the arena, which Gardosen feels himself slowly being sucked towards.

All there is in the world is you, the robed figure, and the hole, dragging you towards it almost too slowly for you to bear... you just want it all to be over, you want to sleep, perhaps forever... A cloud of darkness spreads over the arena and the spirit suddenly hears the flapping and chittering of a large swarm of bats as he's engulfed in the mass of flailing creatures. Suddenly the spirit feels the large blade gardosen carries biting into it's back, and it's very essence, a frenzied, churning energy within it bites deeper, attack the very ethical nature of the spirit. The spirit hears a growling voice from behind it, "Sorry, 'nature' and I have never really been on speaking terms."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-04-06, 10:31 PM	Cysel smiles for the first time in this fight, "Finaly i can take this off, im sure master would understand." Cysel moves faster then ever as he dodges the ray. He appears behind John, but instead of slashing him with his sythe he takes of his pendant, as soon as it comes off a silver mist starts to form around cysel, become so thick that no sight can see though it, arcs of blue engery (not electricty btw) forms around the mist. When the mist fades away, where cysel was standing now stands a 6'6" tall hansome young elf-like man, with long silver hair, sky blue eyes, a blue cresent moon shape mark on his right cheek. "Now let truely start this battle" Cysel points his sythe and an arc of darkness strikes at john, and the cyclone he had form is now following john as well, wich is no longer letting off bolts of darkness. "Lets see how much darkness you can handle, shall we?" [almost time for you to see what death gate can do :) ]
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 10:34 PM	A mundane gray robe, held up by a wooden pole, falls to the ground, gardosen's fullblade in the back. The robed figure reappears on the other side of the arena. "We see that we must resort to other measures. Whatever the method, you must be destroyed, it is our purpose to do this, among many other things." The spirit, if that's what it is, fires a few grey bolts of anti-energy at Gardosen. They do not strike the wolf-man, but instead form an orb around him. Now, time seems to pass fast, though he is no faster. The swordsman looks in horror as he sees his worst nightmare: his sword rusts in his hands, his armor rots and falls off him. Gardosen himself, to his shock, is becoming an old man...
Gaelro_Nailo 12-04-06, 10:37 PM	((ohh thats a mean way to fight cog, but would be quite effective againsts mortals))
cog_n_taz 12-04-06, 10:40 PM	John smiles too, and answers: "quite honestly, you don't want to know... I on the other hand, am quite curious as to how much you can handle." With that, he grabs cysel with a long shadowy tendril, and flings him head first into the gate. ((GN, it may surprise you to hear this, but none of the attacks are planned before hand, or even the lines, all spontaneous, and still score such a high rating on the spiffoscope!))
Prak, the Mad 12-04-06, 10:44 PM	And yet to the spirit's horror, nothing happens. "Nice trick. but I'm surprised that no one's figured t out yet... very well, perhaps I haven't displayed my unnature enough..." if anyone could see through the thick cloud of darkness, they would have seen Gardosen leave the field, giving it a dismissively slash with his sword, and then a pair of large bat wings sprout from his back. Gardosen rises from the cloud high into the air, as he does so the cloud shrinks back to his cloak, reveling a 12 foot tall monstrous humanoid wolf-bat amalgam, with long fangs rise high into the air and string the metal bar Gardosen carried on his back, the bar becoming a mind-defying bow, gardosen draws a three foot long arrow, more akin to a ballista bolt, and draw the bow, holding it with his talons while his arms pull the cable high above his head, leaving his wings unhidered. "Got it yet, ghost!? You cant affect the UNDEAD with negative energy! It only HEALS us! NOW DIE GHOST! I'M SURE IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE YOU FELT THE PAIN OF WOUNDS, SO LET ME REAQUAINT YOU WITH MY OLD FRIEND, AGONY!!!" The bat swarm has followed the spirit, and begins engulfing it, making it hard for it to focus.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-04-06, 10:55 PM	"Very well then, lets see how much we both can handle." Cysel lets the shadowy tendril entangle him as he heads toward the gate. "But I do think ill switch back to my katana." As his sythe reforms to that of a silver katana with dragonic runes along the blade, and the katana is shaped like a silver dragon tooth. "Dragon Arc" An arc of blue energy strikes the gate and fully opens it. "San-ull, I demand that you send a wraith-knight to serve me, here is my payment." With his clawed hand he cuts himself and sends his own blood though the gate. "This is acceptable Cysel, you shall have what you ask for this time." A darkness comes out of the portal in the shape of huge armored creature. "What do you wish me to do?" The shadowy tendril disolve from cysel as he lands next to the wraith-knight. "I want you to show him what you can do." "As you wish." The wraith-knight forms behind john and trys to swallow him.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-04-06, 11:06 PM	[ what are you going to do about my "cyclone of darkness" attack? its still heading toward you and its is moving faster the closer it gets to you. ]
cog_n_taz 12-05-06, 05:25 AM	prak: ((nice!))The figure looks up dispassionately at the horror flying above him. "all the more, we must destroy you, you should not exist.". It draws out, from one of the folds of its robe, something akin to a snow globe. In the centre is the image of a planet, though it is not one you have seen before. "this"It says "was a world". It crushes the globe in its hands. When the hands are removed and you see the globe again, it is a swirling featureless black orb of pure matter compressed to a pinpoint. The spirit, if that's what it is, hurls the black orb at Gardosen. "you will die now", it says in a dull, emotionless matter-of-fact tone. It is not a bluff, a threat, a prediction, or an order. It is a statement, spoken with absolute certainty.((kinda ignoring the knockout bit, I know. Feel free to kill the guy though)).
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 11:08 AM	((Man, you guys move fast.)) Shiro leans back, crossing his arms. Yawning, he states: "Fights with magic that don't blend harmony with blades seem so... empty. As much as I hate to say it though, it seems that the old schools, those who blend spirit, magic, and steel are slowly being replaced by those who teach only how to kill with magic or steel, sometimes both. It is a shame. But what can this old man do nowadays?"
robnie 12-05-06, 11:19 AM	ViVi looks at shiro hearing the word "steel" and "magic" "Oh you mean Kane-do the school of metal?"
Prak, the Mad 12-05-06, 11:58 AM	prak: ((nice!))The figure looks up dispassionately at the horror flying above him. "all the more, we must destroy you, you should not exist.". It draws out, from one of the folds of its robe, something akin to a snow globe. In the centre is the image of a planet, though it is not one you have seen before. "this"It says "was a world".

It is a statement, spoken with absolute certainty.((kinda ignoring the knockout bit, I know. Feel free to kill the guy though)). The cloak emits another cloud of shadowy illumination as another bat swarm issues from it, the black orb strikes into the cloud and only a cloak falls to the ground, the darkness dispelled, Gardosen is no where to be seen.
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 11:59 AM	Shiro snaps his fingers, and a tiny sphere of a golden metal appears in his hands, it starts twisting its shape, forming flowers, dragons, people, you name it. Shiro sighs, "No, not the school of Metal as such, merely the lack of harmony in all things. Honestly, I have to blame these accursed humans and orcs. They have such short life spans, that they must rush through everything. It isn't their fault that the teachings of old get changed and corrupted so quickly, so I cannot hold that against them."
robnie 12-05-06, 12:29 PM	ViVi looks at the orb and his eyes light up he grabs some earth and he trys to get it to do the same "No not that that no no drat stop it come on work just a litte"
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 12:43 PM	Shiro smiles and lets the ball keep changing shapes. "Metal is among the hardest of elements to properly use, as it cannot be forced to change, doing so will merely break the qi you need. You must gently convince it to work for you, something that is in stark contrast to all other schools."
robnie 12-05-06, 01:05 PM	ViVi looks at his ball earth then at your metal ball the he says "I think ill stay with my elements they seem to work better" the earth surrounds ViVi then goes in to the ground then 30 secs later ViVi materializes from the air
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 01:09 PM	Shiro grins. "Very well. You seem to have a shortage of patience though. It is a little dissapointing. Perhaps I could give you a tiny lesson in magic sometimes."
robnie 12-05-06, 01:18 PM	ViVi's eyes start glowing as he stands ups "I AM NOT SMALL!!!!!" He turns away and walks to a difrent table then he yells "I AM JUST A TAD BIT SMALLER THEN OTHER GNOMES"
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 01:26 PM	Shiro stifles a few laughs and manages to say "I never called you short, regardless of the truth." :D
robnie 12-05-06, 01:37 PM	ViVi yells"ITS NOT HARD TO FIGURE OUT AND IM STILL NOT SMALL!" and snaps his finger as a chest apears he sits cross legged and pulls out screws gears wires and a mini clockwork as he starts working on it(hes yelling couse hes like 20 feet away from you)
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 01:56 PM	Shiro reaches into his pocket and pulls out another small metal orb. as it begins changing shape, he snaps his fingers. ALmost instantly, flames, bits of crystal, a few pink petals, and some drops of water surround the metal sphere, each one moving around it, as if in orbit. Amazingly, none of them touch each other. "I wonder how many of these young folks could suplicate this. Each element in harmony with the others, each one separate and yet tied together, all by the 6th element, the formless one."
robnie 12-05-06, 01:59 PM	ViVi still working his adamantite clockworks flys over to you and says "Ohhh how did you do that i must know how do you get them to fly and whats the formless one?"
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 02:09 PM	"Your control is different than mine, therefor comparisons are useless. You've great skills in magic."
robnie 12-05-06, 02:21 PM	ViVi says "I havent show you my badger have i?" ViVi starts taking something out of his chest
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 02:33 PM	If a fox can blush, shiro does. He then starts laughing hysterically :rofl: . After a few minutes of laughing, he manages to choke out "If you only knew what that meant back home!" He then busts out laughing again "Haha.. ow, my ribs!"
robnie 12-05-06, 02:41 PM	ViVi shakes his head as he pulls out a whistle and he blows suddenly the earth cracks as a garguantan sized mechanized badger crawls out of the ground ViVi says "so thats where i left you" as he walks into his mouth
robnie 12-05-06, 02:43 PM	(the badger is garguantan sized so its still in the ground)
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 02:44 PM	Shiro's right eyebrow arches up. "A mechanical badger? Hmm... I think you may have a bit too much free time on your hands."
robnie 12-05-06, 02:46 PM	ViVi walks out and says "Well at the begining it only took me 40 years but ive added alot onto it."
robnie 12-05-06, 02:49 PM	ViVi says "Hey your a fox and foxs burrow humm" ViVi whispers"maybe i should make a mechanized fox to" (remember gnomes love burrowing animals sence they themselves live in burrows ...very big and complex burrows but burrows still)
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 04:39 PM	Vicros walks over to Vivi and Shiro. "I guess I should introduce myself. I am Vicros Moonshadow, nocturnomancer and Lord of the Third House of the Parliment of Shadows. I have worked with Valor on several occasions."
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 04:44 PM	Shiro smiles. "So, you've worked with my student have you? How well is he doing? I certainly hope he's learned a variety of techniques since I last knocked him out?"
robnie 12-05-06, 04:52 PM	ViVi loos at you and says "what the heck is a nocturomancer??????"
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 04:57 PM	"Considering he held his ground against someone far from this cosmitoligy he is doing great." To Vivi. "A nocturnomancer is a mage that combines both arcane and shadow magic and becomes adept at both. Such a mage typically can disrupt other magic users with ease."
robnie 12-05-06, 04:59 PM	ViVi looks happy "Can you dirupt black mages magic?"
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:00 PM	"Yes."
robnie 12-05-06, 05:00 PM	"Shall we try?"
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:01 PM	"Why not?"
robnie 12-05-06, 05:05 PM	"knockout?"
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:06 PM	"Sure." Vicros levitates 10 gp to the table.
robnie 12-05-06, 05:07 PM	ViVi tosses 10 gp into the can and melds with the earth then re apears in arena
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:10 PM	Vicros fades in at his position at the arena. "Maybe this will be a lesson on shadow magic Vivi."
robnie 12-05-06, 05:11 PM	ViVi sticks his staff into the floor then melds with earth and disapears
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:15 PM	Vicros levitates into the air and spreads his arms wide his body then releases wave after wave of pulsating energy scrambling casting within range. ((casting now at reduced level for casters other than him))
robnie 12-05-06, 05:17 PM	(how far does far does it affect)
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:18 PM	((20ft radius centered on Vicros))
robnie 12-05-06, 05:20 PM	(( it dont reach him)) Sudenly the air around you is being sucked away as earth starts entraping you
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:21 PM	The effect suddenly stops and the magical energy syphons into Vicros. He then readies another spell.
robnie 12-05-06, 05:25 PM	A massive wind force strikes at you and it feels as like thousands of blades are cutting you
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:29 PM	The spell energy is again negated and absorbed. "Do you acctually want to try to win or should I just keep on negating your spells? I might as well show my prowess." Vicros forms a small bead of darkness in his hands and throws it at the ground. The bead expands to 1ft in diameter and starts blasting holes in the floor.
robnie 12-05-06, 05:33 PM	The earth is destroyed revealing no sighn ov ViVi then suddenly a potral opens and another massive wind force comes out and this wind is no spell its blowing about 1500 mph then you hear a windy voice"blasting the wrong place"
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:36 PM	Vicros flys across the arena just barely able to turn incorpreal before he hits the wall. The sphere moves to the portal and flies into it.
robnie 12-05-06, 05:38 PM	The portal absorbs it then destructs emiting a deafining screech then you see vivi apear by the staff he raies it and yells HAILSTORM OF LIGHTNING Then disapears
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:40 PM	"This should be interesting." Vicros casts a spell forming a ring of electricity around himself.
robnie 12-05-06, 05:41 PM	ViVi suddenly apears and says"No no not for you no absorbing this spell"he grabs the lighting then forms with it and shoots into the ground as titan sized lighting bolts start shooting down destroying everything they hit almost hitting ViVI( elements is something that cant defeat him)
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:44 PM	Vicros disappears from view.
robnie 12-05-06, 05:45 PM	(The lighting follows you no matter what plane your in no matter where you go its his ultimate spell)
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:47 PM	((Yeah but since Vicros teleported strait down I think it would be hard for the lightning to hit him.))
robnie 12-05-06, 05:49 PM	(( humm that might work but sence your in the ground the earth is crushing you)
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:51 PM	((Incorpreal, remember?))
robnie 12-05-06, 05:54 PM	ViVi apears on top and says"You are strong so i shall use this" he places his hands on the staff the screws and gears start turning then 10 screws and gears disapear ViVi throws a incorpeal lighting bolt at you
LivingShadow 12-05-06, 05:57 PM	Vicros dispells it again. "Time to finish this up." Vicros appears aboveground again and casts a spell causing shadows to form around Vivi and slash from all directions. "Endgame." ((Last post for today.))
robnie 12-05-06, 06:03 PM	(remember the titan sized lighting bolts?) "endgame for you maybe" ViVi disapears right as the shadows hit him then you hear a windy voice "You ever tried killing air." Then a sunburst spell eminates from the staff destroying all shadow
Gaelro_Nailo 12-05-06, 08:14 PM	((Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me...........just had to do that hehe)) Lafali walks into the room followed by a small firedrake (looks like a red dragon wyrmling). "Ahh Lord Shiro, its is always nice seening you." As his gaze upon the arena floor and sees cysel in his daiyoukai form. "I do belive this match will be interested, I wounder how well cysel will do against someone of john ability." A familar tea table appears next to him as he starts to sit. " Shiro would you like to join me with somemore tea? And I do argea with you on how young people no longer try to harmonize there magic (or spirit energy) with there blade. When cysel takes his time he dose try to do it but he perfers his dragon style jutsus. ViVi i see that you found your badger finaly, and I brought along scarlet for you to play with." The firedrake looks at ViVi and everone hears "Will you hurry up and use you lava body spell so we can play." in there mind.
Foxhengeyokai 12-05-06, 11:52 PM	Shiro bows. Sitting down, he takes a cup of tea and sips slowly, dwaring out the drink to full enjoy the warmth of it. "My friend, harmony is key to not just kenjutu, but life in general. Oh well, they live as they see fit, and far be it from me to tell them otherwise." Shiro shoots a glance ot the firedrake and says in perfect draconic "I'll ask you to leave your words out of my head thank you. You might end up triggering the Sevenfold lotus barrier wall in there, and I'd hate to see you reduced to bones."
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 12:03 AM	"You martial arts masters certainly like to talk and name drop alot don't you? Except the ninjas, those people I can relate to, well, mostly..." says a cloaked figure sitting down near Shiro. As he kicks his feet up and leans back, he flicks his cloak back to reveal his odd physique. he places his two large upper arms behind his head, entwining the fingers, while his lower arms' hands fold upon his chest. His torso is long and lean, covered in a sand coloured carapace, and clad in sparse clothing, mostly just assorted leather belts. He wears no weapons at all, in fact the only thing on his body is a fairly large pouch hanging from one belt. Two pairs of gossamer wings fan out wide as he stretches them. "Name's K'th'on, I hear you're a primal or something, right? What kind of tea is that?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 12:10 AM	"My apology, I will try and remeber that. If thats is anything like masters Ar-ather, I will not like to see what it can do." Scarlet bows her head to shiro. "Cysel can use the Kor-dul, which is a lesser form of rilynnathen that deals with harmony of the body and spirit to from shadows, mostly for defence. If you wish I could request him to use it in this fight against John."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 12:16 AM	"Young people get bold these days dont they shiro, they never learn to respect there elders." Lafali glances over at K'th'on before turning back to shiro. "And who said i was a martial arts master? I am just a simple travler walking the roads of nippon with my apperentice."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 12:19 AM	Scarlet walks over to K'th'on and curls up on his lap. She is soon sound asleep.
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 12:29 AM	"Actually I was talking about Shiro's name dropping of his lotus wall technique thingie... completely unnecessary, and it lets your enemy know what you're doing..." K'th'on looks down at the drake on his lap and strokes it's head.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 12:36 AM	Scarlet starts to purl softly. "Well then as long as we agrea that im not a martial arts master, we will get along just fine. And i see that scarlet likes you, and that isnt something most creatures can claim. If you wish something to drink just pick up that cup (a cup appears infront of you.....its your size cup btw i dont know how tall you are) and think of what you would like to drink. Few beverages this table cant create, i do know that dwarven winter ale and any brews that requires dragon parts wont be created."
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 12:53 AM	"Ha, well, alright then, non-martial arts master," K'th'on says with a chuckle a tempermental dragon? that's not too unusual is it? though I certainly feel honoured, and thank you for the drink." K'th'on picks up the cup as it fills with a murky orange-ish liquid. ((he's medium sized, about 6'9"))
robnie 12-06-06, 01:00 AM	A blood red robed figure steps out of the shadows cloaked in shadows then looks at yall and hisses in a reptilian tone "Puny soft skins" his skin is scaly and his eyes are red hes about 5'8 and he has small horns(ive had a dude like this for 3 years i copied no one)
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 01:10 AM	"They're not that bad, once you get to know them" K'th'on says dismissively over his shoulder at the reptilian figure. "But I agree, you soft skins are puny" he says, still talking to the reptilian figure in the corner.
robnie 12-06-06, 01:14 AM	The robed figure raises his hand and says BLOOD OF THULE seeing it does nothing he becomes furious"WHAT IS THIS I HEARD THIS WAS A ARENA WHY WILL MY SPELLS NOT WORK!!"
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 01:19 AM	"Well, you may have ticked of your god, I can't imagine how..." K'th'on says, "or magic in general, enslaving things tends to do that... Or maybe there's an antimagic field in here so that fighting stays in the actual arena"
robnie 12-06-06, 01:22 AM	"Wher i come from there is fighting everywhere there is bloodshed all around it was a wonderfull city but it was destroyed by a acient undead dragon he called himself trakanon how do i fight then?"
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 01:24 AM	"And where I come from, you'd be considered food, as would the hengeyokai there, the young lady paladin in charge here, and especially the blue-haired elf down there. This, is not where we came from, and we must obey it's laws, lest we get run out of town or killed."
robnie 12-06-06, 01:27 AM	Robnie (yes that actualy is his name) hisses "Where i come frum i would be attacked on the spot by a paladin these must realy be weak"(Yes he is a jerk its what he does and he does it well)
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 01:36 AM	"Or, again, laws, I hate 'em as much as you do, but in order to not get run out of town, or executed, we must all follow them. I suggest you pull up a bench and wait for a match where you can, dependent upon your opponent's agreement, shed as much blood as you like." K'th'on returns to petting the fire drake on his lap and sipping his drink, watching the battles in the arena, before adding "Soft skin..." under his breath.
robnie 12-06-06, 01:38 AM	Robnie finds a table and sits dow he looks disgusted as he watchs the fights "I should of stayed in baator" he whispers
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 01:44 AM	((sigh, where are Gareth and Cog_n_Taz? I'm waiting for them to post again...)) "And I shoulda stayed with my people, but if I had, I wouldn't be surrounded by the lovely human females of this city. I'm sure you'll find some redeeming quality of the humanoids."
robnie 12-06-06, 01:45 AM	"Pft there good to practice my blood spells on them and thats all" he takesa a potion out of his robe it has a skull on i he drinks and he shivvers in pain
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 01:49 AM	"I assure you, they are good for much more than that..." K'th'on says, his eyes being his only form of expression, you might almost guess he was displaying his race's equivalent of a wistful smile. "One woman certainly ably vouched for them last night..."
robnie 12-06-06, 01:51 AM	"when i see a human worths my time watching in battle ill agree with you" he says "the humans i fight are weak almost as weak is orcs"
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 01:52 AM	"Ah, I wasn't talking about combat... unless.. well... I suppose it might almost count..."
robnie 12-06-06, 01:55 AM	"I live for combat ive died for combat far more times then i can remeber in my race fighting is everything"
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 01:57 AM	"I always did think Abyssals were the more interesting fiends... thank you for explaining to the humanoids why." ((oops, red is Gardosen's color... that was K'th'on speaking...))
robnie 12-06-06, 01:59 AM	" I am no demon well ive been called demon many times along with many other names i am a ancient race that people say were from troglytes and humans witch is a insult"
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 02:02 AM	"I called you boring, not a demon, for the record, I personally think that any race that has no time for some of the gentler acts of life is a one-sided one."
robnie 12-06-06, 02:03 AM	Robnie smiles "Of course my life is 1 sided detah is all ive ever known"
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 02:05 AM	"Hm... sucks for you, maybe I should introduce you to a very talented polymorpher..." ((last post of the night, cya guys))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 08:27 AM	((what blue haired elf? cysel has silver hair.)) Scarlet looks over at robnie, "Not all soft skins are bad, there are many who are more skilled in magic then even you. I think even i am more skilled in the arcane arts then you are. But you are to young to even bother with." She lays her head back down on K'th'on lap as she falls asleep.
Foxhengeyokai 12-06-06, 01:44 PM	Shiro smiles "Name dropping, while often frowned on in here, is an important part of some fighting styles. Also, letting the enemy know what will come serves two purposes, first, if they know of the attack, it lets them know just how skilled the opponent is, and secondly, if they don't know of it they simply won't know what to expect. As for being a primal yes I happen to hold that title. Why do you ask, k'th'on?"
robnie 12-06-06, 02:04 PM	Robnie looks at shiro and says "A fox is talking and what is a primal"
Foxhengeyokai 12-06-06, 02:35 PM	Shiro sighs. "If me talking is the only thing you find strange here, I suggest you check into the nearest sanitarium. As for what a primal is, I really don't wish to explain today."
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 02:53 PM	((oops, silver haired elf, sorry)) "How so, Shiro? I've never seen it as being that important, though I suppose whatever helps focus one's energy is important to them. I was merely curious as to whether or not you truely were a primal."
Foxhengeyokai 12-06-06, 03:09 PM	Shiro nods. "Yes, I am a primal. Of course, I avoid using the powers inherent in me, simply because doing so would end up warping this plane ever so slightly. Besides, it's not very sporting, now is it?"
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 03:15 PM	K'th'on laughs "I guess so."
Foxhengeyokai 12-06-06, 03:33 PM	Shiro only grins.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-06-06, 03:45 PM	OOC: Ummm...Gareth...my opponent has vanished...its been three days...what should we do?
LivingShadow 12-06-06, 04:14 PM	(remember the titan sized lighting bolts?) "endgame for you maybe" ViVi disapears right as the shadows hit him then you hear a windy voice "You ever tried killing air." Then a sunburst spell eminates from the staff destroying all shadow ((What about them? I thought that spell finished.)) "Even with no visible shadow I can hurt you." Vicros reaches down to the ground uttering an arcane sentence. He then pulls a shadow from the ground. Vivi starts to feel weaker and weaker as Vicros absorbs his essence.
Foxhengeyokai 12-06-06, 06:30 PM	Shiro shakes his head. "Light spells against a nocturnomancer, bad move, my short friend. Oh well, I might as well take a nap for now, wake me up when I get a challenger, would you?" Shiro leans back and closes his eyes.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 08:06 PM	"If i was only a bit younger i would challange you shiro, but this old body of mine just cant do what it use to. How come name dropping is frowned upon here, wouldnt knowing what technique is bening used against you be to your advancment? In my homeland it is very dishonorable to use a special techniqe without using its name." Lafali sets down his cup and picks up a fue (bamboo flute) and starts playing a tune.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 08:59 PM	Originally Posted by robnie (remember the titan sized lighting bolts?) "endgame for you maybe" ViVi disapears right as the shadows hit him then you hear a windy voice "You ever tried killing air." Then a sunburst spell eminates from the staff destroying all shadow ((there is still shadows, sunburst duration is instantaneous, so the shadows gose away for just a moment. But i do belive ViVi will lose this fight, sorry bro))
Foxhengeyokai 12-06-06, 09:15 PM	Shiro begins to snore quietly
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 09:40 PM	Lafali stops playing the fue and puts it down. "Shiro, would you like a sparing match? Watching a battle and talking about what someone sould of done or what they souldnt do and showing them is completly diffent. And i have been woundering how much you was holding back when you spared cysel."
Foxhengeyokai 12-06-06, 09:52 PM	Upon hearing the word match Shiro's left ear twitches violently, then he open both eyes, which seem to be blazing. "A match you want eh? Very well then, let's start!" Shiro seems to shimmer, then appears in the arena floor, waiting for his opponent.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 09:56 PM	With a laugh lafali appears in the arena about 50ft from shiro. "I know that normal matchs are boxed in a small area, but i think ours sould be a bit bigger dont you shiro? And what type of match would you like?
Foxhengeyokai 12-06-06, 10:25 PM	((I'm done for tonight.))
cog_n_taz 12-06-06, 10:34 PM	Prak, first of all, I preferred your old avatar. Second, I have replied in a rather boffo way, check page 69. Gaelro: John's hand and forearm seem to disappear completely as the cyclone closes in on him. Though blown back somewhat, he seems to absorb it completely into himself through the cavity. He then warps his other arm into the usual blade of flesh, but this time it seems to be made of a black crystal that sucks in the air around it. "All this time, I hunt for rare creatures and nodes of negative energy, now you send both at me! What a fortunate man I am..." He rushes past the wraith knight to cysel, though he makes a strong cut at it on the way. He then vanishes momentarily, before reappearing behind Cysel and pinning him to the ground. Finally, he brings him before the gate. "do you have any idea what I could have got for an offering like you? If only a few drops of blood gains you a wraith-knight? No, I don't want to know either, but that is what could have happened."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-06-06, 10:49 PM	As john cuts the wraith-knight he feels a sharp pain in his arm. "Mortal, do you truly belive that would of hurt me?" The clone that john was holding fades away, "Trust me you dont wish to see what that offering would of given you." Cysel apears next to john and peforms a lighting stroke (if i miss i pefrom a new attack quickly) with his katana. "Would you like more darkness? I have plenty left to give."
robnie 12-06-06, 11:22 PM	As his essence starts to drain ViVi suddenly turns into complete air (Absorbing to mutch air can kill very easily) (and yes thh lighing storm last for a long time or untill he dismises it )ViVi's staff sinks into the ground and if anyone was looking at the badger it disapeared then the badger jumped outta the ground and swalloed the nocturomancer(it was summoned not far but still summoned) The earth splits open revealing lava and everyone hears a soft wishper "Lava Body" the lava forms around the nocturomancer and totaly encases him
Prak, the Mad 12-06-06, 11:43 PM	((I've replied since then, Cog, check pg. 69, and I thought it was time for a change of avis, and I like the Gith.))
cog_n_taz 12-07-06, 01:37 AM	Prak: ((what's avis?))The grey robe looks around and seems satisfied with its work. It then Lowers its head, and speaks in a deep, booming but toneless voice. "Gardosen, by your true name of Theryl'sherak, we command you to be unmade." Then, it stands unmoving, seemingly pondering something.
Prak, the Mad 12-07-06, 01:47 AM	((Avis=plural of the abbreviation of Avatar)) As the spirit begins to speak, the crowd sees Gardosen appear in the midst of the swarm of harrying bats, his fullblade thrust through the spirit's unbody. Gardosen twists the blade once, and then yank's the blade up and through it, a distortion of reality as Gardosen's fell blade cuts the spirit's ectoplasm. "Didn't you realize the bats would leave when I died? NOW it's over."
cog_n_taz 12-07-06, 03:15 AM	As the blade pierces the robe, it bursts into a grey flame and turns to smoke. Within the smoke is a face, frozen in a soundless scream. A figure exactly like the first reappears when the first "dies". "It is not over, not yet... but we cannot defeat you, not yet..you shall live for now..."
Prak, the Mad 12-07-06, 03:47 AM	"I see I'm not the only 'unkillable' combatent about... very well, perhaps one day we will definatively finish what was begun today..." Gardosen walks off the field and sits down in the stands for a moment, before leaving muttering something about finding a library... ((nice bout cog, what was that?))
cog_n_taz 12-07-06, 07:45 AM	((only one way to find out... ask! And thank you! By the way, how LN did that guy sound?)) Time seems to slow for a moment, and when things are back to normal, the thing is sitting on one of the chairs... or something, it doesn't seem to have grasped the idea yet, and is now passing through it and drifting over it.((on clumsiness with this stuff, think Meet Joe Black:D))
Prak, the Mad 12-07-06, 01:20 PM	((pretty good portrayal of LN.)) "So if you're not a ghost, what manner of spirit are you?" K'th'on asks, hardly moving to acknowledge the spirit.
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 04:10 PM	As his essence starts to drain ViVi suddenly turns into complete air (Absorbing to mutch air can kill very easily) (and yes thh lighing storm last for a long time or untill he dismises it )ViVi's staff sinks into the ground and if anyone was looking at the badger it disapeared then the badger jumped outta the ground and swalloed the nocturomancer(it was summoned not far but still summoned) The earth splits open revealing lava and everyone hears a soft wishper "Lava Body" the lava forms around the nocturomancer and totaly encases him ((Vicros was absorbing Vivi's life force and it would still work if he turned into air.)) Before the lava has a chance to encase him Vicros warps to the other side of the arena. "Do you want this to get really ugly? I can make it nastier if you want."
robnie 12-07-06, 04:15 PM	((remember the badger swaloed you it has wallo of force inside it so theres nothing you cna do but try to escape and it also has dimensiol anchor) ViVi materalizes and dispells the energy draining spell though he looks drained allready
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 04:18 PM	((If Vicros was inside a wall of force how could the lava get to him?))
robnie 12-07-06, 04:20 PM	(quite easily the badger swalloed the lava)
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 04:24 PM	((Idea coming on.)) As the lava comes in contact with Vicros he gets encased and then casts a spell hardening all the lava into rock. ((As a side note Vicros is still incorpreal and thus wouldn't be hurt as much as he would be if he was solid.))
robnie 12-07-06, 04:26 PM	((Humm i mihgt actualy loose i hate incorpeal things and the badger closed its mouth so your stuck in this very big smart badger that knows what you can do))
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 04:34 PM	((Acctually not stuck.)) Vicros casts a spell covering himself with shadows. ((Guess what he is going to do. Hint: He has about 20 ranks in escape artist.))
robnie 12-07-06, 04:38 PM	((LOL LOL only 20? ViVi has max engineering/tinker for his lvl hes had 25,000 years to add to this badger its like gareth in his arena he only usesd it iin dire needs)) you hear ViVi say "Nothing can escape him well almost nothing now if you dont mind im ganna lay down for a bit." to everyone outside ViVi is laying donw on his badger
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 04:43 PM	((It isn't a class skill and he is lvl 40.)) A glowing darkness forms on the side of the badger and Vicros steps through. "A little too confident." He casts a spell surrounding Vivi with shadows that lower the air tempurature to dangerously low levels.
robnie 12-07-06, 04:46 PM	((ViVi is 40th black mage 10th plane shifter and 20th engineer and ViVi can survive almost and tempurature and his badger is above major artifact lvl but oh well)) ViVi melds with the badger and yall hear "You are annoying areant you?" About 5 lighting bolts come down and stirke you if you go incorpeal then they go to the enthreal plane untill they strike you
robnie 12-07-06, 04:47 PM	He goes into the badger is what i meant to say
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 04:50 PM	The shadows drain Vivi's energy as he moves through them. Vicros creates a wall of force to block the lightning bolts and floats into the air.
robnie 12-07-06, 04:55 PM	Ok he went into the badger and the badger is difrent for you then him its his home and all everyone else sees is a empty space ViVi walks out of the badgers mouth and points at you and a green rays flys at you dodging every thing it comes in contact with except you((1 more spell thens hes totaly manaless)
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 04:58 PM	Vicros dispells all the rays and then points his finger back at Vivi. At first nothing seems to happen then you notice a barely visible ray flying tward Vivi.
robnie 12-07-06, 05:00 PM	ViVi smiles his hat neck and both bracers start glowing his staff flies to his hands he points at you and says "HAILSTORM OF THE ELEMENTS" then he falls ot the ground
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 05:03 PM	"Final assault I guess." He sinks into the ground and forms a cube of force around himself.
robnie 12-07-06, 05:04 PM	Storm clouds gather and everyone sees hail, lighting and even a metorite fall to the arena then more and more come ((this spell works better in a open area)) The earth splits open once agian and lava starts shooting out of it
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 05:07 PM	From the safety of the forcecage Vicros watches the spell.
robnie 12-07-06, 05:09 PM	Then you see a badger bite the shield cracking it ((the bite has morternums disjunction on it when it wants to use it)) The lighting keeps striking but its harder and harde the hail grows to super sized and the metorites keep faling creating minor cratsers where they hit
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 05:11 PM	Vicros creates another forcecage in the air and teleports into it.
robnie 12-07-06, 05:12 PM	But before you could somehting woulda hit you and the badger bites it agian this spell last over a hour and i doubt you could kill the badger
LivingShadow 12-07-06, 05:16 PM	((Can the badger fly?)) Vicros teleports above the clouds and creates another forcecage. ((last post for today))
Foxhengeyokai 12-07-06, 05:57 PM	((Ok, I'm going to be REALLY slow in this fight, since I'll try to make it as cinematic as possible :D )) As soon as the magic mouth speaks the word "Begin" Shiro snaps a finger, bringing about a sudden change in the arena floor. Rather than seeming to be a (No offence gareth) "simple" arena combat zone, it is replaced with a vision right out the twin combatant's memories. They both find themselves in a bamboo forest, the air slightly chill, and damp due to the light mist that clings about the place. The sunlight shines through the mist in places, creating a dappling of gold in some places, and making the mist a golden hue in others. "I trust you don't mind lafali, but it seems so much more fitting to our battle, doesn't it?" Shiro shakes his head, allowing his fur to glimmer softly in the mist. He breathes in deeply, smiling all the while. "This may not quite be my homeland, but it should do well enough, no? I believe this place is called Kara-Tur if I'm correct. So, before we we begin, let me just say this short haiku, would you?" Shiro clears his throat and recites "The mist's light sparkles, two blades seek the greatest truth, the strength of our souls." Shiro then smiles and snaps his fingers, bringing forward a completely plain pair of kodachi. "Let's drop the magical weapons for now, shall we? I would wish to fight you pitting only our skills against one another." As a breeze blows, carrying with it the scent of grass and flowers, shiro streaks fowards, his twin blades close together, like the fangs of a beast. "Nito-kiba"
robnie 12-07-06, 06:07 PM	((yes in a matterfact i did install that little thing)) OH yeah that was your worse mistake your not suffacating becouse your in the stratosphere witch is 30 miles in the air humm not to smart on your part
cog_n_taz 12-07-06, 06:19 PM	Prak: ((thanks! Now I feel fuzzy:) ))"we have no name, perhaps it would be easier to explain our purpose...we exist to keep order in the universe, at any cost. Any life will bring chaos, though we tolerate this... for now. Then, there are those who would step outside order: The demons, undead, and others. It is our purpose to destroy those that disrupt those that would disrupt the order, even gods......" GN: John looks around in surprise as the figure he was holding drops lifelessly and the blade bites into the chitin on his back. He then turns to the wraith-knight: "ofcourse not, but a man can dream, can't he?" he seems to temporarily ignore the knight, and turn his gaze to cysel. Black energy forms into a sphere around the cavity in his arm. Soon, he shoots the concentrated sphere of the energy from the cyclone straight at the swordsman.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-07-06, 07:33 PM	((ok i am gona love this.)) Lafali smiles as twin wakizashi's forms from the mist in each of his hands. "I dont mind at all, and you are correct, this is Kara-Tur." As he matches shiro speed his form shimmers for a brief moment to that of an daiyoukai, much like cysel expet that golden markings adorn his skin. As he brings his blades to bear against shiro's. "Nito-Ka-Avel" ((if you dont like the next part shiro ill take it out, i just see this in my mind as i type this out)) For those that are watching, it seems like shiro and lafali are performing a dance, nether one moves without the other moves with him, neither fox hengeyokai or daiyoukai disrupts the surrounding bamboo forest. cog:With a quick slash of his blade cysel sends the energy back to john but this time it has a blueish tint to it. "I'll need to thank shrio next time we talk. So you like to hunt for rare creatures? I wounder how well you would like to see a void dragon." He moves toward john and trys to cut off his bladearm.
Foxhengeyokai 12-07-06, 07:44 PM	With each blade hitting the other, each seems to sing, the fine steel ringing out in harmony, creating a song of battle. As both blades lock together for a moment, the two stare into the other's eyes. Suddenly, shiro disengages his blades, and steps back, but only for the slimmest moment. Rolling forwards, both blades extended, shiro quickly unleashes a flurry of strikes, each aimed at his opponents knees. ((What is even more interesting here is that I can show a video that would illustrate this attack very well!)) Meanwhile, the wind blows again, causing the bamboo to sway with it, seemingly unconcerned by the frantic battle taking place inbetween it.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-07-06, 08:10 PM	((ple do, i want to see if what i am seening in my mind is what you are doing.)) As the strikes start to rain down upon lafali he steps to the right before dropping down to one knee and rolling behind shiro, bringing his blades to deflet the remaining blows. As he regain his footing he gose on the offence, stepping forward to strike at shiro flank. His right blade thrusting toward shiro lower arm as he whirls around to bring his left blade down upon shiro neck. (you do realize that i dont ever want this match to end)
Foxhengeyokai 12-07-06, 08:27 PM	((Check this out, 3:10-3-30 http://youtube.com/watch?v=SLxe2knWI8Q )) Shiro, knowing that his foe's shorter weapons can react faster than his, never tries to block the strike towards his lower arm, instead stepping forwards, inside the blades angle, and forcing it to move aside. Shiro brings on blade up to block the slash to the neck, and jumps away, twisting into a deadly corkscrew like attack with both blades spinning.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-07-06, 08:44 PM	((i am so glad i didnt try and block all of those attacks :) )) With a whirlwind like attack lafali strikes at shiro blades, countering the attack. When they stop whirling around he steps back "When do you think we could show these younglings how to use magic, spirit , and blade together in harmony with each other?"
Foxhengeyokai 12-07-06, 09:00 PM	((Great stuff eh?)) Shiro, who isn't breathing hard at all, but is smiling quite broadly nods. "Very well, let us show off our abilities. Perhaps just a simple single element technique will work for now?" Shiro smiles and begins to spin around at high speeds, with each rotation collecting more and more of the mist, which begins to condense, forming a wall of water around him. ((I love ripping off naruto type techniques:) ) In mere milliseconds, the wall is complete and about a foot thick. It seems to glow a cerulean gold color, and ripples in the sunlight. Still spinning, shiro slashes the wall of water rapidly, each slash sending out blades of water, some of which cut straight through the bamboo, others gouging small divots in the floor. "Water style, liquid bladed barrier technique"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-07-06, 09:15 PM	((ohh boy thats gona be fun to counter)) As shiro is spinning around to gather the water he needs, lafali whirls his twin blades around creating a tornado that stretches toward shiro, blocking his water blades but is destoryed by it as well. "Wind Style, tornado strike." He touches his twin blades together as golden lighting gathers between them, "Lighting Style, twin dragon arc." As twin arcs of golden lighting streaks toward shiro at startling speed and accuracy.
Foxhengeyokai 12-07-06, 09:29 PM	((Basic science, although water conducts electricity well, it also stops most of the arcing:D )) As the lightning streaks fowards, the remains of the water barrier intercept it, and are now electrically charged. Grinning, shiro sends it forwards, in a wave of crackling water. As the water rushes fowards, catching the sunlight in it's depths, shiro can be seen vanishing. ((Your guess as to where he is..))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-07-06, 09:42 PM	"Blasted" Lafali beckons the mist, as it froms into a soild wall that stops the charged water, "Water Style, mist wall". (I know dorky name but if it works :D ) Within the wall of mist he begains to spin rabidly, "Wate Style, mist blade barrage". ((i give credit to shiro for this one)) Blades of mist strikes randomly around the arena, cutting though any objects that are in there path. When the mist wall fades away lafali is no where to be seen.
Foxhengeyokai 12-07-06, 10:11 PM	The wind blows, spreading a few flower petals around the ground, and whistling eerily.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-07-06, 10:49 PM	As the mist starts to thickens, eerie sounds can be heard from beyond the bamboo thicket. "Catch me if you can." As lafali laughter can be heard form one area then another, never in the same place more then a second.
Foxhengeyokai 12-07-06, 10:59 PM	Shiro, who has been silent for quite some time becomes visible again, leaning against one of the bamboo trees. "Come now lafali, we didn't come to play hide and seek, now did we?" Shiro then plants one kodachi in the ground, and with a flick of his wrist, causes his blade to grow into a full sized blade, still just plain steel. Meanwhile, at shiro's waist his long blade, still wrapped in holy papers, begins to pulse, and a heartbeat can be heard from it...
Gaelro_Nailo 12-07-06, 11:25 PM	Lafali steps out of the mist, "If you wish, but hide and sneak is fun to paly with the right opponent. So we are going to be using longer blades this time?" As a no-dachi froms in his hands. "Lets change our field of combat shall we?" As the mist departs the bamboo fades away as a dojo froms in its place. "I learned how to use basic kenjutsu here. I hope you dont mind this as out new battle field." "Rilynnathem Style, Fire Blossem" Pedals of fire froms around lafali as he steaks toward shiro as his blade glissenes in the light of the pedals. The markings on his skin pulse with an inner power. For a brief instance you can see lafali as a golden dragon gliding toward shiro.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-07-06, 11:34 PM	Scarlet looks at K'th'on, "Now do you see why shiro and lafali are so diffent from the rest of yall? Thery are battleling for the simple reason to test there inner strenght, not for glory or fame or money. If only cysel could understand this he could truly start to master the rilynnathem style."
Foxhengeyokai 12-07-06, 11:42 PM	Lafali's blade easily makes contact with "shiro" who vanishes as the blade hits him. From behind lafali, a shard of ice as long as a spear streaks towards his back. From below lafali, A flash of silver can be discerned, as shiro seems to leap out of the ground beneath his opponent, blade leading. "Earth style, spider technique."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-07-06, 11:55 PM	((Naruto alert, i repeat, naruto alert)) As the spear of ice hit the block of wood that is now where lafali was (:D ) he appears a few meters away. "Mizo-Do, Binding of Limbs" Tendrils of mist forms around shiro and try to entangle him. "Rilynnathem Style, Fire Blossem Strike" As he forms a hand seal with his left hand the blossems flys toward shiro. Lafali then takes a defences stance and waits to see what shiro will do next.
Foxhengeyokai 12-08-06, 12:20 AM	((Odd, I just pulled up a list of random japanese words and came up with this one... Last one tonight too )) As the mist reaches it's tendrils out to grap shiro he vanishes as well, this time replaced with a small straw doll of him sticking his tongue out at you! Those petals quickly engulf the strawman, and it is reduced to ashes. Shiro reappears right in front of lafali, slashing numerous times, each slash aiming at a different body part. "No style, kawarimi *body replacement*
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 12:43 AM	((what webside? i could have fun with that)) Each time shiro stuck at lafali, it was intersepted by the no-dochi. As they exchange blows the singing of steel can be heard throughout arena. Though evenly match lafali never presses the attack, only working on defending. It looks like lafali is studying shiro style of combat.
cog_n_taz 12-08-06, 12:51 AM	GN: "well well, you've got me there, I've never even heard of such a thing....suffice to say I would very much wish to see it... from a distance." He removes a small, but rapidly expanding device resembling a gate from his pocket." for your sake, I hope you recognize a gate to the positive energy plane when you see it..." He opens the gates wide, letting the orb of darkness through, and begins to suck the wraithknight into it. This, however, means that he cannot dodge Cysel's attack. It leaves a deep gash in his sword-arm, but his arm seems to almost melt into its normal. unharmed form. He turns to the knight and beckons: "go on, I'm sure you'll be popular over there."
robnie 12-08-06, 12:58 AM	((if you dont mind shiro)) ViVi is floating in the air with a notebook and a quill wrighting down everything yall do then you hear "Humm water style made by shiro but improved by ViVi wait scratch that made by the magneficant ViVi yes mutch better inescable blades of humm ViVi plus doom voom? no that wont do how about" ViVi puts his hand up to his chin and says "Doov no that sounds stupid ViVi will have to do"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 01:33 AM	The wraith-knights retreat back though the death gate and begains to close it. "I have served you for as long as I may Cysel, next time give San-ull a better offering." With a glance at lafali and shiro battle you hear him mutter, "So master can still fight I see." As he looks at john and his sword arm that is nolonger wounded, "I guess I'll show you my void dragon if you have never seen one." As he pulls an orb of utter darkness out of the folds of his kimono and places it upong the ground. Within a matter of a few seconds the orb grow to a 16ft long oriental dragon, it apears to be made out of the essence of the void. It glances at john and speaks, "So you are the reason master has awaken me? I have never seen a creature like you before, what are you?" As the dragon encirlces cysel sparks of negative energy forms between them. Cysel pets the dragon with his left hand as black runes appears on it. ((his hand not the dragon, though how you could see black runes on a voind dragon i dont know)) "So, how do you like my pet, Ka-ki?" ((means dragon-void/void-dragon) "Though I do not even you, few can withstand encountering one."
Prak, the Mad 12-08-06, 01:45 AM	"I see... well I suppose that almost puts us in the same business..." K'th'on says before pulling his hood back up and leaning back. He sits motionless, except for occasionally picking up his cup and sipping from it.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 02:03 AM	Scarlet looks confused, "Same business, what is your trade anyways?"
LivingShadow 12-08-06, 12:50 PM	((Vicros doesn't need to breath, eat, or sleep due to his tie with the plane of shadow. A handy bonus of being a shadowcaster.))
Foxhengeyokai 12-08-06, 01:15 PM	As two continue their dance of steel, each blade clashing, singing, then clashing again, shiro never stops smiling, clearly enjoying the feeling of battle between the twin masters. As both blades come together, shiro flickers for a moment, then is gone for only the barest second. Four of him appear, each at a corner of the dojo, and quickly touch the ground. As soon as they come into contact with the ground, a box of violet energy forms around lafali. "[B]Shisienjin!"[/I] 1st corner technique, Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment! Whilst the Shiro's are doing that, the heartbeat sounds from that red blade, sealed by holy papers, only grows louder...
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 01:40 PM	"Finaly, a true sword technique." As Lafali plants his blade into the ground. "Rilynnathem, Mizo-Do; Castle of Mist" as a barrier of mist forms around him, stopping the violet energy from harming him. (If yall havnt figure it out he is a master of mist abilitys :)) He then raises his blade high into the air, calling forth some inner strenght them makes the blade hum with power. "Rilynnathem, Sword of Heavenly Might" His blade erupts in brilliant golden light. With that he shimmers and now there are 4 of him, with that he streaks toward one of the shiro and releasing a furry of blows to each of the shiro's, targeting diffent parts of the body at once.
Foxhengeyokai 12-08-06, 02:05 PM	((Interesting, seeing as how that violet energy isn't even supposed to affect lafali... :P )) Each blade stroke from lafali hits the Shiro's, but is turned away. Also, as the blade connects, violet flames spring forth from the "shiro's" traveling up the length of lafali's no-dachi, and threatening to engulf him. From behind him, Literally 34 small blades streak towards his neck, each one connected to a tiny, almost invisible string, that can be followed to yet another shiro. " Sōfūshasan no Tachi!"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 03:08 PM	(opps, well now everone knows about my castle of mist technique) As the small blades hit lafali's back, they falls to the ground dead, or so it looks like until they disolved into goldne mist. In the middle of the dojo lafali appears whirling himself around and around, gaining speed with each rotation. "Rilynnathem, Secret Sword Technique; Ar-nis," as soft golden rings forms around him, gradually pulsing and humming with beautiful music. Each ring giving off a diffent sound, all in harmony with each other. They slowling starts to merge, before long there is just one ring, one sound, one soul. Lafali once agains shimmers as the ring exploseds in a radiance light.
Prak, the Mad 12-08-06, 03:12 PM	If I said, it might endanger some of my clients... lets just say I remove problems...
Foxhengeyokai 12-08-06, 03:23 PM	(Amazing how you ignored the violet flames..))
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 03:41 PM	((Don't know exactly where everyone is but I'd probably be walking into the sign up area. )) A huge(literally) figure walks into the area. It towers nearly twenty feet into the air, though the form is hunched slightly underneath its heavy cloak. Its clawed feet shake the ground slightly every time it takes a step, and the club slung across its back looks like little more than an uprooted tree with the branches removed. From under a large, floppy brimmed hat peer two blood red eyes, and a trail of pipe smoke drifts out from under them. The hat obscures most of the face but one can still easily see the long nose. To anyone with the knowledge, it is quite clear that this newcomer is a mountain troll. Hearing the sounds of combat, he lumbers up to to the edge of the arena stands watching from the sidelines, puffing away on his pipe.
robnie 12-08-06, 03:44 PM	((living shadow you won seeing ViVi lost interest after he saw the fox and the kami start fighting)) ViVi is sitting in the air with a quill and notebook writing all of the moves he find interesting "Humm mist,never though of that how about inpentrable wall of mist ... no inpentrable wall of ViVi yes that sounds better or better yet inpentrable wall of ViVi's mist perfect"
LivingShadow 12-08-06, 04:32 PM	((Sounds fine. Wasn't Vivi out already?)) Vicros fades in next to the figure that just entered. "Let me welcome you to Gareth's Gladatorial Arena. I am Vicros Moonshadow, nocturnomancer and Lord of the Third House of the Congress of Shadows."
robnie 12-08-06, 04:35 PM	((he just coulda used his staff but eh got tired of fighting incorpeal people he thinks they cheat couse there immune to his elements))
LivingShadow 12-08-06, 04:36 PM	((Not completely immune, 50% chance of ignoring the effect.))
robnie 12-08-06, 04:38 PM	(( Thats 50% more then he likes))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 05:27 PM	(Amazing how you ignored the violet flames..)) (the clones blades that was on fire died/got destoryed, did i miss understand something?)
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 05:31 PM	(scarlet)"Ahh, i have heard of people like you before."
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 05:32 PM	The troll, turns slightly, looking down at the much smaller figure. He continues to puff on his pipe for a bit before removing and finally speaking in voice that sounds like gravel being ground together between two boulders. "Krederak Thurr is my name. Are you the one I go to see to fight in this place?"
LivingShadow 12-08-06, 05:36 PM	"I am one of the combatants. The desk jockey is gone for the moment, but all you need to get a fight is find and opponent, sign the waiver, and pay 10gp."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 05:37 PM	Scarlet gets off of K'th'on and walks over to Krederak, (btw scarlet is a fire drake, looks like a red dragon wrymling) "Welcome to the arena, all you need to do is sign you name on some papers over on that desk, rank yourself, and pay 10gp per fight. Wouldnt a weapon made out of metal be better then one out of, umm a tree trunk?"
Foxhengeyokai 12-08-06, 05:41 PM	((Yes you did misunderstand something, those were clones made specifically to erupt in flames, I anticipated you attacking them:P ))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 05:48 PM	(and i knew attacking them woulndt be a good idea, which is why i made clones out of mist to attack them :))
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 06:00 PM	Krederak Thurr looks at the fire drake and slowly unslings the club from his back. Without saying a word, he smashes it against the ground as hard as he can. The ground shakes quite a bit from the force. He picks the club back up and reslings it. There is a large hole in the floor where he struck with cracks around it that extend all the way the to the walls. He then looks back at Scarlet. "I've met many metalclad men who laughed at my club. But after they were hit with a full grown ironwood tree, they did a lot less laughing and a lot more rolling on the ground and whimpering in pain. That is, if they moved at all."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 06:08 PM	"If they failed to dodge that then there not much of a fighter, ohh and i dont think Lord Gareth would be pleased that you made that hole." She then sings a mystical song as the stone repairs itself. "There good as new" She then moves over to watch the battles in the arena.
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 06:29 PM	Under his hat, Krederak Thurr smiles to himself. "If she thinks that's fastest I can swing then she'd better hope she never steps into the arena with me." he thinks to himself. With that, he leans against a column and stares into the arena, sticking the pipe back into his mouth.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 06:35 PM	(ohh boy how am i gona run 3 battles with 3 diffent toons :() Hearing this scarlet trun over and walk to Krederak,"Very well lets see how fast you are" She walks over to the tea table (the one that lafali uses) and takes some gold from a bag and puts it on the table. With that she glides over to the arena floor, waiting for krederak.
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 06:43 PM	"Is that challenge?" He slowly his pipe out and a large, fang-filled grin breaks on his face, the teeth just visible in the shadows. "'Cause if it is, I accept." Krederak also drops some gold on the table then stomps into the arena after her, unslinging his club. "This'll be fun."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 06:51 PM	"Ill let you do the first move, if you can even hit me that is." With that scarlet starts to appear all around the arena floor, never in one place more then a second. ((I know I have used this before but all of my toons are ether magic users or speed fighters))
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 07:02 PM	"Wow, that is fast. But when you're moving that fast, can you keep your feet?!" With that, Kredark leaps as high into the air as he can, swinging his club behind him in both hands, as he comes back down to earth, he strikes the ground as hard as he can putting of all of his tremendous strength as well as his prodigious weight behind it, causing it to shake and tremble massively as if an earthquake just struck.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 07:32 PM	As the earthquake strikes the arena scarlet disapear with a flash of light, in the drake place now stands a young human girl of 20 and at her side is a tanto. "Tsuchi-Do, Angry Earth" as a small earthquake stikes underneath Kredark. "You are not the only one who can make earthquakes."
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 07:39 PM	"No...but I can withstand them." With that, he takes a wide stance and thanks to his size and and natural stability, he remains quite upright. That is until, he leaps forward, bringing the club behind him for a massive two handed strike. "Now you fall!" he roars.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 07:55 PM	"Tsuchi-Do, Castle of Soil" A barrier of soild earth froms around scarlet as the troll brings down his huge club. Though it withstnad the blow you see a crack appears in the barrier. "Wow, you are very strong, few can damage my castel of soil. I can see that the school of earth isnt gona stop you." (tsuchi-do is school of soil btw) "Mizo-Do, Quagmire" as the ground under kredark turns into quicksand.
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 08:22 PM	"So...you really think you've ended me? I would not survived so long on brute strength alone..." Kredarak reveals the ring of flight on his index finger and slowly rises from the slush, grinning and letting his club fall into an attack position.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 09:15 PM	"Very well, if you want to prolong this be my guess. Hi-Do, Wings of Heaven." As scarlet lifts of the ground and flys toward you. "Kane-Do, Omnipresent Sword" A katana forms in her hand as she strikes at your club, trying to sunder it.
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 09:36 PM	Krederak's eyes widen as the sword begins to bite into the ironwood. But, much quicker than his size would dictate, he rips the club to the right, and spins right around, gathering terrifying momentum for a devastating horizontal smash from the left. <<If this connects, I am SOOO screaming home run. :p>>
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 10:12 PM	Right before the club hits you hear, "Kane-Do, Armor of Heaven" The club connects with scarlet as she is flung across the arena. Though dazed she seems uninjured. "You are faster then i though, and much stronger." She then flys into the air. "Kane-Do, Iron Doom" As krederak starts to turn to stone. "I hope you dont mind but i think im gona stay out of you reach, i dont think i can handle one more of those hits, you are the first becide master break though it with 1 hit, not even cysel can do that."
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 10:41 PM	"Turn a troll to stone? How cliche." Krederak tries to move his legs and finds they will not respond. He stares down, amazed that his mighty fortitude has been overwhelmed. "Girl, your might with the spell is great I must give you that. I must congratulate you. I mistook you for an arrogant whelp in need of a lesson. But I stand corrected. You should congratulate yourself as well. Even with magic there are not many in this world who can count themselves strong enough take a direct blow from me and continue to fight. However, even though your spell might have brought this fight to a close...do not expect that staying out of my reach will save you! With that the troll switches his grip on his club so that the sharper end is facing his foe. With a mighty two handed toss, he sends it flying like a javelin. As the five hundred pound piece of ironwood arcs point first toward scarlet at terrifying velocity, Krederak Thurr reaches into his cloak and pulls out a potion. Even as he feels his arms hardening he fights to raise it to his maw...
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 11:11 PM	(crap i hate it when people think about throwing those things) "Kane-Do, Bar Missiles" as the club speeds toward scarlet it hits some short of barrier, but keeps on going though at a lesser velocity. As it hits scarlet in the chest she falls to the ground, "You are full of surprises, Kane-Do, Metal Storm" as krederak is engulf in a storm of whirling blades. With the last of her magic she returns to her drake form.
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 11:31 PM	Kredarak crunches the potion in his mouth and feels with relief as the stone fades away....RIGHT BEFORE THE BLADES APPEAR. Roaring in agony Krederak stumbles out of the bladestorm and falls to the ground. However in a matter of seconds, his troll biology has closed the wounds and he is on his feet again. His cloak and his hat are ripped in a few places. Krederak extends his claws. "It seems we're evenly matched. It has been a good fight. But I've proven what I needed to prove, and so have you. We could continue if you wish, but I do not see the point. The choice is up to you."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-08-06, 11:35 PM	You hear in your mind "I think a draw would be good." as she lies her head down and falls asleep. After a second or two she wakes up. "I think i am going to leave for now, someplace peaceful would be a good place to recover." With that she fades away ((heading to Krede's Cafe))
Lord_Destron 12-08-06, 11:38 PM	"Then it is agreed." With that, Krederak picks up and reslings his club, then leaves the arena and walks deeper into the complex, after finding a large, yet out of the way corner, he curls up and rests. <<Just like a hobo>>
Foxhengeyokai 12-09-06, 06:39 PM	((I had inspiration tonight. :D )) Shiro vanishes for a moment then reappears, standing on the ceiling. :You know, how about we end this shortly? If I fight any longer, this blade on my himmp will demand to be used, and at this point, even both of us together wouldn't be able to" Shiro winces, and stops. The heartbeat sound grows loud enough to be painful, even to a kami. The holy papers wrapped around the blade's tsuba begin to burn with a corrupted, sickly black flame that seems to have almost a voice. As they burn away the papers, you think you hear a legion of voices, each one chanting the word "Blood" over and over again. Shiro shrugs and he calmly says "This is where it will get serious, if you aren't careful, you will die. This blade is... ketsueki-shimyaku, tell me, have you heard the story of It's forging?" As shiro speaks, the blade seems to lower the volume of it's "Heartbeat" to a dull pounding echo. "A long time ago, a powerful warrior was called to a duel he knew to be fixed. His honor and might were well known and feared throughout the world at the time. Also, he was a good man, one who never hesitated to help his friends, and even his enemies, were they to ask it of him. His blade then was known as kotetsu, which translates as "little steel." It was at at time known as a true warriors blade, one that when subjected to the leaf test, it made the leaf go around it. Knowing that if he were to turn this fight down, that his honor would be scarred, and that his family would also feel the consequences of refusal he went to the duel." Shiro sighs and shakes his head sadly. "When he arrived at the designated place, he saw nobody, as he had expected. Whirling around to look behind him, he managed to intercept an assassins's blade, whuch had been painted a flat black solely for the purpose of murder. With a simply stroke of kotetsu, he felled the assassin, only to feel a sharp pain in his neck. As he looked for the cause, he saw a simple dart sticking out of his neck, then felt fire coursing through his veins. He knew then and there, that this poision would seal his fate. As kotetsu dropped from his limp hands, and his knees buckled. He saw his opponent, who was dragging along the very thing he had sought to protect, his family." Shiro spits in disgust. "His opponent picked kotetsu up, and pushed the man's wife over to his paralysed body. Then, as the two held hands, he plunged the blade through her chest, killing her instantly. As her blood ran down the blade, and pooled on the warrior's chest, reflecting the night sky, and making each star appear only as a small point of light amidst a crimson ocean, he found the strength to cry out to the man, asking him to stop, throwing even his sacred honor away, all for the love of his remaining child. This too didn't stop his opponent from repeating the act of murder once more. This time at least, kotetsu skewered them all, and an entire family was extinguished that night, leaving behind only kotetsu to feed off of the hatred, sadness and blood of that family." As shiro speaks, black and crimson flames begin dancing on his body, until the seem to be absorbed into him. Instead of the shining white fur he had earlier, now it is a dark crimson, reminiscent of blood long since spilled. "You see, not only had kotetsu been tainted by the blood of those it was forced to spill, but that one act attracted the attention of Ketsueki, the kami of murder and war. Looking down upon the scene, he smiled at it, and touched kotetsu, imbuing it with the spirits of the mudered family, as well as power beyond mortal imaginings. As the blade began to feed, it took on the color of it's crime. That is why this blade cries out for blood, and why I carry it. It has fallen on me to purify it, and yet until the spirits of these people are satisfied, even you and I cannot do anything about it." Shiro grins, and instead of the warm smile he wore earlier, it seems only feral, as if a beast were using his body. As his grin widens, you can now see his teeth, they seem to shine with an eerie ivory color, made all the more terrifying by the crimson fur of his muzzle. As he BLAZES towards you, he growls "Enough talk, let's finish this!" After about the 7th step, he flickers again, and appears not behind, or to the sides, but terrifyingly close. With what seems to be no effort, that terrible blade is being thrust, returned, slashed, feinted, spun, stopped and slahed again, each time weaving about a pattern that were you to outline it, would result in a small flower. Each swing of his blade results in a drip of crimson liquid falling from it. As they fall towards the ground, they harden into small shining stones...
cog_n_taz 12-09-06, 07:55 PM	The wraith-knights retreat back though the death gate and begains to close it. "I have served you for as long as I may Cysel, next time give San-ull a better offering." With a glance at lafali and shiro battle you hear him mutter, "So master can still fight I see." As he looks at john and his sword arm that is nolonger wounded, "I guess I'll show you my void dragon if you have never seen one." As he pulls an orb of utter darkness out of the folds of his kimono and places it upong the ground. Within a matter of a few seconds the orb grow to a 16ft long oriental dragon, it apears to be made out of the essence of the void. It glances at john and speaks, "So you are the reason master has awaken me? I have never seen a creature like you before, what are you?" As the dragon encirlces cysel sparks of negative energy forms between them. Cysel pets the dragon with his left hand as black runes appears on it. ((his hand not the dragon, though how you could see black runes on a voind dragon i dont know)) "So, how do you like my pet, Ka-ki?" ((means dragon-void/void-dragon) "Though I do not even you, few can withstand encountering one." ((kaki in hebrew means dung:P)) "I must say I am impressed. I have never seen this... this thing befre, nor wish to see one again..." John thrusts his right arm forward, and an eye of brilliant pure light opens on it, piercing the dragon with shafts of positive energy. Then, you begin to notice a change in the man... he is growing taller, to a height of about 3 metres, and turning into soft, glowing white light, at the same time insubstantial and seemingly wholly corporeal. "enough controlled exposure to ravids, and look at what can be achieved! Well, I plainly cannot defeat it, perhaps I could atleast neutralize it." With that, he begins to reach out slowly, trying to grasp the dragon.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-10-06, 03:03 AM	((ill reply to both of yall later today, just got home from a 16 hour shift (was only surpose to work 8 but someone called in sick) and im dead tired, btw i realy dont like you shiro, your gona make me use Lighting Rose or Moon Whisper , only weapons i can think of that has as good of back story as yours.))
Foxhengeyokai 12-10-06, 02:07 PM	((:devil: :devil: :devil: :evillaugh By the way.. ketsueki-shimyaku translates to "Blood eater" ))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-10-06, 02:44 PM	As shiro appears on the ceiling lafali appears right below him, sitting on the floor crosslegged with just his dai-sho (katana and wakizashi), his eyes closed, seeing you with just his ki. "I see I must user Moon Wishper, ever tryed listening as the moon wishpers to you, I have and as a reward I was granted this." As he pulls his katana out of its sheath, you can hear it wispering so softly. "Rilynnathem, Dance of Moonlight" As he starts to exchange blows with shiro, you can see him starts to blur as he reaches speed ether of us has yet to achieve. "Be glad i dont unleash Moon Whisper just yet, none has ever lived to tell of it." Each time the two blades touch there is a spark of moonlight, which starts to from into tendrills of light that trys to bind Shiro soul, which would render him unconsiciouns. "First Technique, Binding of the Soul."
robnie 12-10-06, 03:23 PM	ViVi says "Humm i heard of a nice tavern i think ill go check it out." ViVi flys out of the arena
Foxhengeyokai 12-10-06, 04:20 PM	:evillaugh Shiro's voice is cruel now, with a bit of a hard edge to it. "Lafali, don't bother touching my soul with such a technique or else [B]this[B] will happen." Shiro places one hand on kitsueki-shimyaku. It flares up with a blackish crimson light, and tendrils of what could only be blood begin to form from the blade, each one is accompanied by an unholy cacophony of screams, some of rage, some of sorrow. Each tendril snakes out, and grasps the tendril from the dance of moonlight technique. As the two touch, they both vanish. Shiro laughs again, this time smiling. "Come now, don't waste my time with such a technique. How about this!" Shiro whips his terrible crimson blade forwards, yelling "Kitsueki-ryu, sword crying blood technique!" As shiro's blade travel in the arc of the slash thin lines of crimson fly forth from it, cutting even the air as they travel, and creating a vacuum, which threatens to draw lafali into them. Shiro doesn't stop there either, he steps forwards, closing the distance between him and lafali in only 2 long strides. In a flurry of strikes, which rain down with such speed that were lafali to block one, they wouldn't even make a noise as the blades strike. Twisting his wrist suddenly, the blade's stroke reverses, and instead of slashing at lafali's stomach, it heads upwards, threatening to cleave him pelvis to collar bone. Not only does he have the blade itself to contend with, he now has those almost invisible blood waves to deal with as well. In the middle of this astounding attack routine, shiro holds out one hand, and from it blasts forth a massive shard of black ice, which cruelly glimmers with what seems to be a flam on the inside of it. As it appears, shiro snaps his fingers, and it explodes with the sound of shattering glass. As the shards of ice fly around, shiro merely grins and they all stop, hovering around shiro, each one shimmering like a black diamond with a flicker of flames at it's core. "Frozen heart of the north and eternal flame of the east, join together and pierce my enemy to the core!!" ((Bwahahahahaha))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-11-06, 02:28 AM	"Very well, i can see that you are no longer the shiro i was battleing against, i will end this now. Release, Moon Wishper." As a shock wave of Ki is created, destorying the dojo along with all barriers (including those created by a deity), stoping shiro in his track and hurling him across the arena. It even destorys the sealed off area of the arena. Lafali is now pulsing with Ki, as it surges around him, the arena foundation starts to crack. He is no longer the gentle looking daiyoukai he was, his eyes has a harden look to them, the smile that was upon his face for the entire match is gone, and he has a very sad look to him. "I would never of though you would be so weak as to be controled by anything but your spirit. "Rilynnathem, Dance of Death; First Technique; Dragon Fury" With that lafali appears behind shiro, as countless cuts appears on his body. "Will you yield or do we need to finish this fight?" (cog) As the wave of Ki hits the arena, cysel and ka-ki created a counter the saves them and john but he is knocked out by the effert. "Cysel says we will finish this match when he awake john, unless you wish to finish with just the two of us?" ka-ki looks at you with egerness, but you can tell she is servely weaken.
cog_n_taz 12-11-06, 08:12 AM	John sits down and begins to munch on a slightly ethereal sandwitch. He smiles"believe me, I can wait".
Foxhengeyokai 12-11-06, 06:05 PM	Laughing heartily as he picks off lafali's blade strikes, shiro dismissively brushes the dust off of his now crimson fur. "Me, controlled? Lafali, you misunderstood, no; I am not controlled by this weapon, far from it, merely," Shiro pauses, still shaking with derisive laughter. "That this weapon is a gate, so to speak. It allows one to externalize the inner depths of the yin portion of spirit, without distracting from other activites. I'm not being controlled by anything other than my own desire to fight, of course..." Shiro pauses, no longer laughing, but only shaking his head sadly. "If you have decided that you no longer wish to continue, then this match will be declared over, with me as the victor. Shiro snaps his fingers, and reappears int he middle of his previous storm of black ice and flame, seemingly unharmed by his opponents vicious attack. Throwing both hands up in a "What can you do?" gesture, shiro smiles, saying only "You didn't think a person like me could be felled even by a technique like that did you? Please, that is the kind of amateurish mistake I would expect froma mere student. Also, you wouldn't be trying to break out into your full form now would you? That would be so.... disapointing. Here I was expecting a battle worth all of my effort, but once we finish the warm-ups and I begin to fight seriously, you decide to pull a trick like this, honestly lafali, strong though you may be, your judgement is lacking. Now, if you would be so kind as to either surrender, admiting that I am superior, or keep on fighting, until one of us is unable to do the same..." Shiro pauses, still shaking his head, seemingly dissapointed. ((Auto-hits are rather... bad taste in pure RP combat, unless you were using something like a minor magic like a magic missle... even then, don't expect something like that to be tottaly taken into account. :P ))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-11-06, 06:26 PM	"If you think that was my true form then you are greatly mistaken. (and also sorry bout that auto hit thing, while i was at work i was thinking about that and i was going to fix it when i got back.) And i see i was misaken bout you bening controled, lets finish this then. Shall we finish withthe warm up then?" As lafali takes a new stance. "Let see how if i have found a match in skill this day."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-11-06, 06:32 PM	"Rilynnathem, Dance of Moonlight" As lafali starts to dance with his blade, as there is nothen else that can describe what he is doing. "Do you wish me to bind Moon Whisper Shiro?" As he keeps on dancing his katana begins to softly hum, and for those who listen there is a solf voice singing. "As the two begin there dance, as there blades sings the choros of there song, these two will find strenghts hidden even from themselfs. As they meet each other with great antipication, will they find what they seek, only time will tell." With renew vigior, lafali starts to laugh again waiting for shiro reply.
Wall 12-11-06, 06:56 PM	((So... I suppose I just kind of join in, right? Don't wanna interrupt the fight or nothin'.)) Covered in a gray cloak and smelling of rain water, a young human enters the sign-in office, his eyes darting around nervously. The fellow's blonde hair reaches to his shoulders, and looks as though he has been out in a storm all day... and night... and a few nights before that. He grips a spear, but other wise is a rather un-imposing figure. "Hn-hm," he clears his throat. "I was just passing through... and, well, where do I sign in?"
LivingShadow 12-11-06, 07:20 PM	Vicros points at the desk. "Sign the waiver there. It is 10gp per fight." He bows to the new arrival. "I am Vicros Moonshadow, nocturnomancer and Lord of the Third House of the Parliment of Shadows."
Wall 12-11-06, 10:23 PM	The young man bows in return. "I am Lothar Vinzenz, a humble servant of the storm. Pleasure to meet you." Lothar slides over to the desk and examines the waiver. He's obviously a bit nervous; It's apparant that he isn't the gladiator type! "Hmm... All right... Four types of battle... Uh-Huh... Oh, not to the death if I don't want to, that's nice... All right... Huh." Lothar picks up the pen and signs the waiver. He scrambles around a bit for a damp, moldy looking bag and and pours a few coins onto the table. Soon after counting out the money, he turns back Vicros. "If you don't mind some questioning, Lord Moonshadow," Lothar begins, bowing. "But, is there a reward for these fights? Or more importantly... are they outside?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-11-06, 10:49 PM	As ka-ki (shes the void dragon) appears in the room with cysel, she looks at lothar, "I belive there was originaly a reword, but now i think the combatents just duel for the thrill of it and to test there skills agaisnt strong opponents, john i belive cysel will take a while to wake up, the duel with you weaken him greatly and he wasted to much of his energy to block that Ki lafali unleashed." She places cysel on the ground and lies down next to him, protecting him from unknow threats.
Wall 12-11-06, 10:58 PM	Although startled by the dragon's sudden appearance, Lothar nods in understanding. "I see. For the thrill of it... Well, then I'll have to be top-notch for the fights. Hhn. perhaps I can work out some sort of deal for a monetary reward..." Lothar slumps down on a wall, glaring at his coin purse as though it had said something very, very offensive. He sighs heavily, muttering about "city-life" and "no-good monetary systems".
Gaelro_Nailo 12-11-06, 11:52 PM	"I know, for each match you win ill give you something. How dose that sound? Ohh and a word of advice, i wouldnt touch me unless you are immune to the effects of negitive energy, even then it woundnt be a good idea." Ka-ki yawns and a small stream of black flame spurts out, "Sorry bout that" she grins, "So what is a servant of the storm do? And yes there outside, if you look out of that window you will see a battle going on, though i would strongly advise not going into the arena just yet, i belive its about to get very deadly out there for mortals. Lord Shiro and Master Lafali is sparing right now."
Wall 12-12-06, 10:00 AM	Lothar looks up from the offending purse. "That is very kind of you, Madame dragon. Thank you." Lothar grins, pleased at the turn of events. "And I'll be sure to take that advice; wouldn't want to fight my sponser! Even if I did, the only thing protecting me from that is pure luck and hardiness. Oh... Um, I'm afraid I didn't catch your name." Lothar looks out the window as the combatants rumble. He gazed in awe for a moment at the two warriors... such prowess between the two... "Well, at least it's outside," Lothar sighs, not turning away from the window. Remembering the kind dragon's question, he snaps back to attention. "What does a servant of the storm do? Most of the world sees us as particularly rowdy druids, although that is not exactly correct. We are druids, in a sense. We gain power from faith in nature. We protect the enviroment, and the natural things in the world. Some of us are hermits, others anarchists, others mediators. "But that is about where the similarities end. Servants of the storm gain abilities that druids do not. And we are also subject to certain things that druids take for granted; Why, I haven't had an animal come closer than thirty feet in years! We tend to wander alone, simply enjoying the storm in all of it's many shapes... Not all storms are weather phenomena, after all." Lothar gives a small smile, realizing how profound that sounded. "I am not so different from my brethren. I travel the land, especially under the cover of a cloudy sky. I have come in with the sustaining rains, and the destructive storms. I think that the so-called civilized races can learn to live in harmony with nature. And I think that there is much one can learn from the storm. "These are what I am as a servant of the storm. Now, if you want to see what I can do," a gleam appears in Lothar's eye, completely antipode to his current demeanor, "Then I will show you when they have finished their spar."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-12-06, 04:19 PM	"My name is Ka-ki, and i would guess that there fight will last a long time, unless one of them gives up. You see the fox looking one is Lord Shiro, who is a Primal (deity level) and Master Lafali is a dragon kami (deity)." As she lifts her head to look out of the window, "This daiyoukai here is Cysel, my master and student of Lafali. Once he wakes up him and john will start to battle again, plus this gives both of them time to come up with new tatics to use againt each other. As they keep on blocking each other moves." As cysel mumbles, "No i dont want to spare with her master, why cant i go learn how to use the.........." Ka-ki shakes her head, "I see he still hasnt gotten over that, his lucky i dont get upset that easly anymore" "Dragon Arc" as cysel wakes up his katana forms in his hand as he unleash an arc of blueih energy toward the wall. "Where am I? And why am i no longer in the arena battleing John?"
LivingShadow 12-12-06, 04:38 PM	"Yes, the fights are outside for the most part. I guess that you need to be outside in order to use most of your powers given the fact that they are apparently based on weather."
jakelslang21 12-12-06, 04:43 PM	Through the doors a creature about as tall as 6.5 feet enters. He looks like a cross between a well built man and a jackal with falcon wings. He is wearing a golden headband with red stripes across it, He is wearing Egyption silk covering his lower torso. He has on his back an enormous ankh about as tall as he is. As he approaches you, he conjures a leather pouch of gold "Hey!" He snarled "Is anyone here...? I have heard this is a grand place to practice your arts of combat. May i sign in?" With that he leans to the wall, waiting for someone to respond.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-12-06, 04:49 PM	With a pop Scarlet ((a small firedrake)) appears in the room, landing on cysel's head. "I'm back, that tavern was to noisy for me." Looking at the newcomers she smiles, "Yes this is a place, you have to sign you name on a waver, pick a rank, and pay 10 gold pieces for each match." ((Whats is an ankh??))
jakelslang21 12-12-06, 04:52 PM	(an ankh is a object in egypt used to channel spiritual energies from the divine, used by a pharoah.) The creature turns "Ah, I see, very well here it is." He takes 10 gold out of the hovering bag and it dissappears, He places it on the table. edit* the underlined word is an edit, i dont want to confuse anyone
Gaelro_Nailo 12-12-06, 05:36 PM	"Now all you need to do is find someone to spare with. But thats easyer said then done sometimes." Scarlet glides over to the tea table and starts to east somne roast that appeared for her.
LivingShadow 12-12-06, 05:36 PM	"Don't forget to sign the waiver." Vicros turns to the newcomer. "I am Vicros Moonshadow, nocturnomancer and Lord of the Third House of the Parliment of Shadows." ((Seems like a lot of new people are joining.))
jakelslang21 12-12-06, 05:39 PM	"Fair enough." He walks over to the counter and takes a waiver, he conjures a crimson feather and signs it. "Is it against the rule to stay in the lobby?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-12-06, 05:43 PM	((I hope not have 3 creatures in here atm :D)) "Dont think so, i belive there was maps to rooms the gladiator could use, but the lady in charge of that seems to be away for now." Cysel trys to stand up bu Ka-ki is still keeping him pinned to the ground. 'You are not ready to finish your duel, dont make me hurt you."
jakelslang21 12-12-06, 05:53 PM	"Hmm, i will wait for her." With that he closes his eyes and turns into a man, Very thin but his body shows that he is built for dexterity, not strength. He surprisingly can carry this ankh. He then walks to the table where scarlet rest. edit* The man turns and looks at Lothar "Hey, Lothar what are you waiting for. And if a battle why must we wait for combat? It seems there are other employees here and it would make no sence if they could not set one up."
Wall 12-12-06, 10:12 PM	Lothar shrugs. "My guess is that the only battle arena is that one." He motions out the window. "As soon as we find a place, I'll gladly give it a go. But how about an introduction while we're waiting? You obviously know who I am, but who are you?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-12-06, 10:18 PM	Cysel finaly get Ka-Ki to get off of him, "What employees?" He walks over to where john is. "When ever your ready we can finish our match, unless you wish to wait till those two finish theres."
Foxhengeyokai 12-12-06, 11:11 PM	Shiro snaps his fingers, sending waves of his ice shards at his opponent. Each one glimmers as it passes through the air, and relentlessly follows lafali. "Binding techniques is all well and good, but let's get serious, shall we?" Shiro rolls forwards, with each roll forward sending out another wave of ice, and a slash with his terrible crimson blade, which sends out another almost invisible line of that razor edged blood. As shiro gets in range, he places onehand on ketsueki shimyaku, acreful to avoid its edge. The blade glows a dull red and begins to pulse as if it were the heart of some beast. As shiro's now crimson fur begins to glow the same dull red, he laughs again, then comes at lafali even faster than ever before, whipping that blade around with a speed that causes air pressure disturbances. With each swing, you can hear the air moving back from the blade, and then you hear a small cracking sound. "We'll see what you can do lafali, don't dissapoint me again!!"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-12-06, 11:49 PM	With a raise of his hand a shimmer appears infront of him, apperently made out of moon light. "Rilynnathem, Dance of Moonlight; Third Technique; Moon Wall" While the wall stoped shiro ice shards and vacuum cuts, it alowed shiro to pass. Lafali rolls out of the way, as he regains his footing he unleashes tendrils of moonlight from his blade, filling the arena with strand of light. "Very well, lets see which of us will win this duel. Dragon Arc" With a slash of his blade a golden arc of energy (Ki base attack) streaks toward shiro. He then appears behind shiro and brings his left foot around to perfrom a round house kick, trying to catch him off guard. ((if you seen any bleach where they are flash stepping you will understand what lafali dose when he moves around the arena, and yes i got my release (insert weapon name) from bleach))
Lord_Destron 12-13-06, 12:13 AM	Krederak Thurr wakes up to all the commotion and wanders out into the hallway and looks at the new comers from under his hat, his face still in shadows. He puffs on his pipe but says nothing.
Foxhengeyokai 12-13-06, 01:17 AM	((Dude, you had to bring up Bleach.... time for Shiro's bankai!! Also, one thing to note is that flash stepping is essentialy the same as the shunshin or body flicker technique:P Oh, one more thing... if I identify one more anime inspired move, I am sooooo ripping off Naruto, Inuyasha, or Samurai X :evillaugh)) As lafali's foot comes around to hit shiro, his fur seemsti harden and form into short spikes, at the point of impact. (Whether or not your foot gets skewered is up to you :P )) Shiro counters the dragon arc with the same ease as he has been doing this entire duel, only this time he doesn't even bother blocking with his blade. In a simple swing of his left arm, as if he were swatting a bothersome fly, the dragon arc is hurled away, slamming into the arena wall. Shiro shakes his head and turns to face lafali. "Enough fooling around, either you get serious, or will end this match and you with it right now, let's see you dodge this one... Ketsueki-shimyaku! Bankai! Ketsueki-Getsuga!" ((Moon's fangs bleed.)) As shiro speaks those words, his blade and fur begin to shine with a red light so bright, that even lafali must turn his eyes, or risk blindness. At this point, a screaming wail may be heard that reverberates throughout the arena, shattering glass, annoying animals you name it. As the wail begins to intensify, shiro sends a number of slashes nigh uncountable throughh the air, not tarageting lafali, but the very air itself. As soon as shiro stops his relentless barrage, the air around his blade collapses, drawing out an enourmous amount of crimson energy. Shiro slashes at the energy a few more times, shaping it into a sphere which is then hurled at lafali, shattering it's way through the Moonwall as if it were merely a paper thing barrier. As it travels to lafali, screaming all the way, drops or crimson fall from it, and line the pathway....
Gaelro_Nailo 12-13-06, 01:49 AM	Lafali jumps away from shiro just as the spikes start to from. "And i thought i had some nice tricks, i must say i wasnt expecting that." He deflects the shpere of crimson with a quick slash of his sword. "And you say to be more serious. Very well, lets begin. Rilynnathem, Dance of Death; First Technique; Dragon Fury, lafali streaks toward shiro at blinding speeds slashing at him countless time, with each swing of Moon Whisper more tendrils of moonlight lifts of the blade. As the fury of his attacks increases the tendrils of moonlight starts to gather around him, "Lord of the Seventh Gate, San-ull, keeper of the void, Soul Reaper" The strands form around moon whisper giving off a dark aura along with turning his golden dragonscale breastplate a darker shade. As lafali keeps striking at shiro, each strike is aimed at a diffent part of his body. "You did want this, didnt you?" ((And i will be there with you :evillaugh))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 08:04 AM	(( hey everyone, i went to sleep early and now im here )) "Well Lothar, all i know about you is that your a druid of the storm in ways. I can say i was born as a lycanthrope, one in a million breed of werecanisphinx. Bown as an outcast but i think it would make sence to you? (( Yeah i know, canisphinx lycanthrope? its weird but i really like jackals, sphinx and its original ))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 08:18 AM	John gets up and turns to lafali. "good, I was just gettiong bored." he strolls towards the arena. ((jake, two things: first of all, you may want to take the time to spellcheck, as we're in no hurry: this is a forum, after all. Second, I'm getting bored, so would you mind if I tossed a character your way?)) A figure in a robe of various shifting dark colours walks into the arena, he clasps a staff of gnarled black wood topped with a greenish-black sphere, within which something appears to be moving. His form itself is shrouded in the robes, but seems to constantly shift between ethereal, dreamlike forms. He moves to the man in the lobby, and speaks to him in a deep, rich voice that seems to change constantly, as well as bypass his ears entirely. "I am the many, I am the dreamer, I am the sleeper and the bringer of nightmares. I am Wresh haltirak, and I wish to do battle with you, do you accept? ((BTW, you have no idea how much satisfaction I'm given by my characters being entirely my own,not any kind of cartoon/manga ripoff:), you guys should try it, it's a good mental exercise.))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 08:32 AM	((first the name is jakelslang not jakeslang so many people get that mixed up, no prob though. Secondly yeayh i am kinda rushing and thats my bad im just sick and really board. also am i ripping of manga or the two gods? Lastly what do you mean by that like have them converse and if so sure.)) "Ahh we have a new player." The man takes a glance at you then back at the battle. "welcome."
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 08:39 AM	((I was mostly talking to GN, robnie and fox, actually. What do yo0u mean by converse? I was hoping to have my char fight yours, since wall is nowhere to be seen.))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 08:41 AM	((Ah, i meant like talk for awhile till its our turn to battle if we can fight now then sure))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 08:43 AM	((yes, I believe we can, no wait in this arena!:)))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 08:52 AM	((Sure then you start)) The man looks at you and responds "I apologize for reading your mind, but i assume you wish to battle?" ((I did not have a good way to just say "lets fight" like one of those cheap pokemon shows. Consider what we were talking about your mind if thats ok?))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 08:55 AM	((I...already offered up the challenge, like so "I am the many, I am the dreamer, I am the sleeper and the bringer of nightmares. I am Wresh haltirak, and I wish to do battle with you, do you accept?" )) "very well, I shall await you in the arena." So saying, the figure becomes blurry and ethereal while stalking off, disappearing entirely before long. ((crap, need to go, sorry!))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:00 AM	((Ohhhh............Shoot yeah my bad im not very awake)) "Another time Wresh." The man turns back to the window ((I think you know why i am declining this offer right?))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-13-06, 09:23 AM	(Cog your not fighting lafali, its cysel, lafali is fighting shiro right now :))
Foxhengeyokai 12-13-06, 03:14 PM	((Cog, you are cold as ice. Also, Gaelro, funs as this is, let's try to end it soon, and let everyone else decide the winner, shall we?)) As lafali closes the distance to shiro, he notices a few things happen, first, as his blade deflects the blood moon, (Which has never appeared in a anime/videogame :P) it gets coated in a viscous, sticky substance that instantly hardens, and begins pulsing. Secondly, those drops of crimson on the floor that you've chosen to ignore begin spiking up, forming thin yet razor sharp columns, each of which threatens to impale you. Shiro, who is waiting calmly in the middle of this forest of crimson spikes which have sprung up from his earlier blood moon technique, is standing there with his blade held out in front of him, in a simple yet almost impenetrable defensive stance. "Come now lafali, did you think the blood moon so weak as to be deflected easily?" Shiro smile and points behind lafali, and says "Blood moon, come to me!" The blood moon which had been only temporarily deflected begins to return, (And At this point I should note that it is about... a ten foot sphere)) and from it, large puddles begin forming on the floor, each one glowing ever so slightly. But that's not all, it lurches forwards, towards lafali...
Wall 12-13-06, 03:56 PM	Lothar watches intently as the figure disappears. Wresh Haltirak, huh? But the thought quickly fades as he remembers his conversation with the sphinx. "Yeah, I understand. Nature can get wacky sometimes." Lothar grins. "I saw a half-elf half giant eagle once. After you wrap your brain around that, you can understand pretty weird birth. Although, I'm almost pure-blooded human myself." Lothar stands up, stretching. A few exercises later, he turns his attention back to the sphinx. "So whaddya say? You, me, and that Wresh guy, all at once?"
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 04:06 PM	the man steps up from the table and says "Sure" ((Ok his abilities... He does not say them to bring them into play, just be aware of that cuz i dont want anyone pouting because they dont know what im doing. Also there is an ability that overall i think fair, you hurt me and it comes into affect. Just a heads up so noone thinks im making this up and i rarely use this ability))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 04:07 PM	"By the way Lothar, while we wait how about we discuss from where we are from... You know backround?"
Wall 12-13-06, 04:31 PM	"Your background?" Lothar shrugs. "I just met you."
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 04:43 PM	"I mean what went on in our lifes before we came here." Says the man "Like how did you become a lover of the storm? By the way my name is Alkiroth"
Wall 12-13-06, 05:07 PM	"Alkiroth..." Lothar rolls it over his tongue a bit. "Gotta nice ring to it. "Heh. I'll tell you my story if you tell me yours. So how did I become the storm's servant? You know, that's a good question." Lothar looks as though he's lost in thought for moment, but snaps back to reality. "I guess... Hm. I always really loved the weather as a child. I would sit on top of my parent's barn for hours, just watching the sky... much to their chagrin, of course." Lothar laughed. "It got to the point where I could predict the weather weeks in advance. But I was always fascinated by thunderstorms. My folks would force me inside when one came about of course, but if the rumbling kept on into the night, I'd sneak out. Obviously, when I woke up the next morning soaked, I'd get in trouble, but it never stopped me. "But one night, sitting on the rooftop in the midst of the storm, something hit me- worst pain I've ever felt, I'll tell ya'. Knocked me out cold. "I woke up lying on the grass, rain still pounding my face, and this awful buzz in my ears. I thought I had been hit by lightning, logically. Now, you'd think that even woulda scared me from going outside ever again. But I stayed out there, enjoying the storm... "My folks were out there pretty quick. Furious, of course. Got quite a beating for that one. An' I just couldn't take it anymore. So I ran, straight into the woods. never saw my folks again. "I was about 12 then. The next few years are a bit blurry... I eventually went feral, dancing around like a crazed lunatic in the woods. "In that state, I dunno what happened. But I started worshipping the weather like some clerics pay homage to Pelor, or Heironious. And that's when it started. "I started to realize I was making things happen that shouldn't have been happening. I could cure poisons with a touch, I could move through the woods like I was the wind; And eventually, I could change the weather if I concentrated hard enough. Clear sky one minute, thunderhead the next. "After that, I spent a lot of my time just doing nature's work. I ran into a druid circle in those woods. After I showed them what I was doing, they told me what I was. Though happy for another of nature's defenders, they didn't much want to associate themselves with me. "About then I got myself re-aquainted with civilization. I started wandering through towns, just enjoying it as I went. Not much purpose to my life, it seemed. The druids told me that fate may have something waiting for me, if I can just find it. And now I wander. "So that's where I am now. Long and uninteresting, huh? I'm just a humble servant of nature, on a long pilgrimage to some unknown location. No more, no less. "So, how about you, my jackal-faced friend? What's your story?"
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 05:38 PM	"Well..." He said as he was thinking of the minor details "You seem to have it alright then."? He said it in a sorrowful way "My story begins in Sehekamet, in the perils of the badlands. See i was born in a poor family as Sehekamet was known for their rogues... Anyways growing up i had the life of a serf, hard labor, broken bones all that. When i became 7 it was the decade blessing to prevent us from the path of evil as nobles of Sehekamet were quite cruel and their hard labor brought us to evil. But when they inspected me they told my parents i was a lycanthrope... A canisphinx more specifically. After trhat they dumped me in the trash for Canisphinx and Lycanthrope are quite evil. After that i lived the first week as a thief until... A full moon came and i turned into a canisphinx. I killed my parents, my landlord, my doctor, my pet cat...... well i did not care for the cat as it always attacked me when i carried a potato...... weird huh?" The man was thinking deeply (about the potato you assume) "anyways," he went on "After that i was kicked out of the town and left me in a tomb... The tomb was so weird i could see glowing blue fungus and tar dripped out of sandstone. I wandered on until i heard a roar a loud roar, i was panicking for awhile. Then after about 6 seconds ik calmed down then i heard another roar and i was stunned i thought i was gonna die. Then, I saw with the corner of my eye a sphinx... A canisphinx. I knew for sure i was going to die. But for some reason it starts licking me i was amazed. Spared. After that i leaned down so i could mount it and he took me to this room. The room was full of heiroglyphs i could not read then, I was "blessed". I have no other way of saying it. I saw on my back an Ankh appear, It had no weight and i could somehow feel pulse of divine energy in my spine. After this i felt confident, and full of pride i went back to Sehekamet and voluntarily killed all the nobles and gaurds. I left the town and wandered the waste gathering more divine powers and martial expertise. I end up here waiting to test my powers against a foe." He finishes off his story and sits back down, watching the battle as he eats some pork he somehow formed
Wall 12-13-06, 05:48 PM	"Huh." Lothar looks deep in thought over Alkiroth's story (possibly about the potato), before looking back at the lycanthrope with a big smile. "Well, it looks like neither of us have anything to lose. But I certainly don't want a death match. How about until someone concedes to defeat?" It is then that Lothar notices the pork. "...Could I have some?"
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 06:01 PM	"Yes I woluld not like to lose a life for the peoples viewing, until one of us gives in" Then he stares at Lothar for a while and says "......fine....." He then rips off some about the size of your hand and hands it to you
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 07:16 PM	((say, would ya mind dueling me with another character jakel? By the way, shiro didn't rip off any techniques I reckon ( don't know for sure, never play/read that garbage) but seems to still be rather reminiscent of the hit-things-with-a-big-sword-mangas, and GN has a dangerous amount of ripoff, but go ahead, I'm sure I inadvertantly got inspired by something or the other:)))
Wall 12-13-06, 07:22 PM	((So, wait, am I out of that fight?))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 07:29 PM	((Well Wall here thought we could have a 1 on 1 on 1 that ok cog? Also Shiro did not really rip off any moves just the "clishe talk about your weapon and make the opponent seem inferior" kind of ripoff)) edit: who likes that 70s show?
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 07:39 PM	((sure, that's fine with me. Sorry I didn't notice about shiro's move, I'm just familiar with the general style of those things.)) "Two is as one for the Dreamer, it shall make no diference. Join me in battle...if you dare."
Wall 12-13-06, 07:46 PM	Lothar jumps at the sudden voice. What is this guy? But the startlement subsides, and grips his spear. He turns to Ka-Ki ((Um, assuming Ka-Ki is still here)), saying "I'll be back in two shakes of an owlbear's tail. Trust me, I won't let you or your offer down." And with that, Lothar walks off towards one of the other battlefields ((of which I assume there are many)).
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 07:48 PM	As the two enter the arena, wresh's outline begins to fade once more, until he has disapeared comepletely. The other combatants have a heavy feeling of fear in their minds, but cannot see it anywhere.
Wall 12-13-06, 08:06 PM	What, no formalities? Lothar gets into a defensive stance, his spear pointed straight ahead. He closes his eyes, and concentrates on the air currents around him...
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 08:25 PM	As soon as he closes his eyes, terrible views come into his mind unbidden,as well as Alkiroth's. their own forms: butchering all that they care for. Their bodies, burned on a smoldering heap of corpses and surrounded by a dancing crowd. Terrible screams fill their ears, and they are forced to their knees.
Wall 12-13-06, 08:31 PM	Lothar struggles to stay standing as the nightmarish visions fill his mind. C'mon, boy! Focus! You know it's around here! Take it out and the visions stop! Gritting his teeth, Lothar let's out a cry. "BLITZ KREIG!" With a crack of thunder, his spear begins to course with electricity. Lothar never quite understood the need for command words on weapons, but he decidedly picked a cool one. Focus! Focus on the air currents! Trying to concentrate, he searches the air currents desperatly. Every creature displaces air. It had to be around somewhere...
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 08:38 PM	"Your efforts are in vain, mortal. You seek to discover my one true position, but I am everywhere. I was born with the very first living thing, and I shall exist, till the last dies." Lothar looks up in horror, realizing that the lightning heads not for his enemy, but to strike him. He attempts to roll away, but he is held in place by steel bonds. To those outside the arena though, they simply see Lothar. Alone, unmoving.
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 08:51 PM	((dont meen to interrupt the battle but i think i will join, my bad was not at the computer)) Alkiroth forces his way out the window in his human form and as he falls goes into his canisphinx form, with that he roars triggering the roars ability ((You two are to strong to be affected by its roar, he just tries to get your attention)) He then stands his ground waiting for the ithers to strike at him edit: Hey guys..... finished readikng the combat... Can you guys say i never joined and said like "I must atytend to something" Because i dont really want to start of in copmbat at a disadvantage? much obliged!
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 08:52 PM	((read up on what I did to the guy, and welome back)) as Alkiroth charges, he sees an exact duplicate of himself on the ground, except that it is dead and in pieces with Lothar standing over it, a sick grin on his face.
Wall 12-13-06, 08:54 PM	((Yeah, um, telling other players what they're characters do and feel isn't exactly... polite. I'll play along this time. Oh, and I never shot lightning. I activated the Shocking Burst quality of my spear. I suppose I could've made that more clear.)) Lothar opens his eyes in confusion. Nobody called for lightning. The current of electricity speeds towards Lothar, but he makes no attempt to move. He can't. Steel? The bolt hits Lothar square in the chest, but he doesn't even flinch. The electrical energy is absorbed harmlessly into his body. "My efforts are in vain? Yeah, hit me again with my own power!" With a laugh, Lothar channels the energy around him into pure, sonic force. A devastating roar of thunder reaches (whatever passes for) Wresh's ears, as the sound waves shatter the bonds. That's my boy. "Now, let's start this fight for real." Lothar repositions himself, holding his spear straight up. He's everywhere, he says. Lothar concentrates. Then hit everywhere. With a howl, a burst of electricity is unleashed from Lothar's body in all directions, a gigantic sphere of lightning.
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:00 PM	((Ok then this i guess after i read my stats gives me an advantage)) As Alkiroth looks at the horrors he channels divine and brings retribution the special ability that he can only trigger when in harm. He focuses the beam it on Wresh hoping he drops his gaurd for him to get a good strike from behind.
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 09:04 PM	((I know, sorry. I just made this guy based on illusions/mind-affecting stuff, and don't know how to go about it besides...well... putting things in their heads.)) Suddenly, the figure of the Sleeper appears in the path of the lightning. Suddenly, it seems more real than anything else: besides you and Alkiroth, everything, the arena, the city, the crowd's cheer and the lightning all become dreamlike, and the bolts go straight through Wresh, striking the equally unreal arena wall. "There are times," you hear in your minds. " When reality is but a dream, and dreams... are reality. Welcome to my world... the realm of nightmares." EDIT: ((jakel, this place is not crunch-based. Other than the fact that he shot some kinda beam at Wresh, I have no idea what will happen, please describe it, thanks:)))
Wall 12-13-06, 09:11 PM	(('sall right, no problem. You provide the illusions, we'll deal with the reactions. You could also tell us OOC when your effects are illusionary, so that we can decide whether our characters believe it or not.)) Great, mind games. Not exactly your specialty, are they? Lothar stares at the figure of Wresh. He's tossing illusions... "The realm of nightmares..." Lothar glances over at Alkiroth for a moment, noting that he seems to be dealing with illusions of his own. "None of that was real." What about Wresh? "Are you real?" Lothar makes a quick forward movement, and lightning streaks toward Wresh's form. ((Edit: Lothar sounds like he's already a bit unhinged, doesn't he?))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:11 PM	As Alkiroth looks around he begins a few channel divines which are protect from the negative on the horrific pictures After the dream is removed from his mind, he still has afterthoughts putting him at a disadvantage fatigue on Lothar. After the dream is removed from his mind, he still has afterthoughts putting him at a disadvantage for the lighning bolts, he just take weaker strikes for his retribution abilities and turns to try and go with a claw to Lothar's back edit: Oh yeah, i missed a few replies im a slow typer, anyways your just going to get some of what we received thats what retribution does
Wall 12-13-06, 09:17 PM	Lothar suddenly feels tired... not enough to put him to sleep, but he slows down for only a moment... shaking it off he- "Agggh!" Alkiroth's claws dig into Lothar's back, ripping through his cloak. Lothar stumbles to the side, trying to keep his attention focused on both foes at once. But he steadies himself, mentally and physically. Straigtening his thoughts, Lothar takes a deep breath, and exhales a large bank of fog, obscuring the area around them all. ((What just happened was an Obscuring Mist spell.))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 09:18 PM	The lightning streaks across the arena, as far as Wresh, and then vanishes as the dreamer merely raises a hand towards it. "As real as you, Alkiroth, and the universe, take that as you will"((good idea, by the way. And no, lothar sounds pretty sane, unsatisfactorily so:P)) "and that image... not real? This is the realm of Nightmares, my domain. This is were dreams, mortals, are reality." The Bringer of Nightmares snaps its fingers, and the Lothar from the image moves to assault the real one, while Intense waves of pain radiate from the image of the corpse towards Alkiroth. EDIT: Haltirak then seems to disappear entirely. No sooner than this happens does its presence seem to radiate from the fog itself. "Foolish mortal, you seek to stop me with this? In my own domain?"
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:23 PM	As he feels his claws sink into his back he turns into his hybrid form. As the spell is casted he withdraws from the mist and takes flight readying an airial assault. ((remember he is still distracted from the memories, feel free to strike him if you can. wanna keep this fair))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 09:27 PM	Wresh seems to concentrate momentarily, and a sweet, dreamlike music fills the air, but only for Alkiroth..."you must be tired..." The dreamer speaks in a soft, rich tone. "Sleep now... sleep, and dream..." ((EBIL!:D))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:27 PM	as he reaches the sky however, he is struck by lightning... charring his skin and making him give a roar of pain. He uses a channel divine sand to try to create a sandstorm obsurring vision only to him and maybe wresh ((dunno he is kinda freaky no offence :D)) edit: He then stgarts to feel drowsy and with his last of concionce he casts channel divine force to keep him in the air ((hes like on a hammick of force in the sky
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 09:28 PM	((gee really, he wasn't supposed to be... [/sarcasm] And if this guy scares you, I have John and the Grey robe to sic on you next)):)
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:30 PM	(( my guy is out cold for now basicly using this as an excuse to do some reading find out about what is happening that i missed. be on in like 5 ))
Wall 12-13-06, 09:30 PM	((Yeah, he does sound mostly sane. I was just noticing that Lothar's thoughts sound like someone else is talking to him. Oh well, it's dramatic.)) As Alkiroth takes flight, Lothar remains hidden in the fog. Stop you? No. "I meant to distract you!" And with that most cliche of battle cries, unleashes a very real burst of sonic energy. ((Does some sonic damage, chance of temporary deafness. Assuming that matters at all.)) ((Edit: Boy, you guys type fast!))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:36 PM	((Ok im back!! ya miss me? anyways Canisphinx are immune to sonic i beleive but they are not deaf)) As Alkiroth wakes up he notices a noise he tracks it to the mist and starts another Channel divine wind to scurry the mist away and since the sandstorm, attempt failed he sweeps in at lothar with his ankh hoping to swat him clean off the ground
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 09:36 PM	((got it, and thanks.)). With the burst of sound, the fog disperses, only to reform into dozens of ever so slightly different forms of The Sleeper. "Interesting, a mortal, fighting the Many in the realm of nightmares, and you expect to defeat me?" Wresh lets out an unearthly laughter, and they all turn to Lothar. Rays of force radiate from them, attempting to enclose Lothar. The shadow lothar runs inside the cage as well. "Sleep, mortal. Sleep, and never wake again." "As for you..." they turn as one towards Alkiroth. As one, the Many raises its hand, and waves of intense pain swim towards the Canisphinx.
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:40 PM	((hey cog, your guy is rather vague... if you can could you be more specific when the "sleep mortal and never wake" thing and stuff like that happens its kinda confusing i dont know if its a threat or your trying to kill him or.... you get it right? Just say if your using the "wisdom language" put something describing what you are doing like an OOC?))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 09:44 PM	((okay, sorry. Thought it was fairly obvious, but in crunch terms, it's a sleep spell(but very powerful compared to the original) and a forcecage. If Lothar sleeps, the semi-illusion Lothar does a coup de grace. What do you mean by wisdom language? I'm just talking IC, as "sleep, ye of lower level than me, and take 20d6 damage." sounds weird.))
Wall 12-13-06, 09:44 PM	A cage of force... an angry canisphinx... a clone of himself... This is not what Lothar was expecting when he signed up. But now was not the time for thinking twice. This is the realm of nightmares. This is where dreams are real... This is where illusions are reality. You're not giving up. Not yet. "Hiding behind all these masks, Wresh!" Lothar struck out at his double with his spear. "Can't fight me yourself? Where are you at? "Alkiroth! Take him if you can! The second I get out of this @#$% cage I'll give you a hand!" Lothar's eyes start to close, almost as though someone were forcing them shut. He shakes it off, somewhat, but the cage is still there, as is his double. "Well, they say you are your own worst enemy..." And with that, Lothar charges at the double.
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:46 PM	((Ok then. Thank for pointing it out)) As Alkiroth sees this enchantment he immediatly stops. He flees for the skys and trys another channel divine sand to keep him safe.... For now.
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:47 PM	As he creates the sandstorm he starts searching for things out of place... Like a broken tile, misterious spectator that kind of stuff. ((up to you if i find Welsh cog))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 09:51 PM	"Very well. Two is as one, the only differance will be the number of unwaking when the battle is over." The Sleeper then turns to Lothar in his cage. "Ha! You think I will fall for such a ploy... I am everywhere, and I am a mask, weakling. Besides, if you are so eager to fight alone, why use the powers of the storm, hmm?" The figures form back into one, and breath a cloud of sickening black gas, obscuring the entire arena. As it envelops its opponents, half-formed nightmares lash out of the cloud and at their creators.((wresh is, or was, visible to everyone? The Welsh? Not so much. Not in the arena, as far as I know.)):) Lothar hits his double, piercing it in the shoulder. As soon as this happens, however, he disovers an identical hole in his own shoulder.((semi-illusory. If he believes it, it's real.))
jakelslang21 12-13-06, 09:54 PM	((Ugh... I said welsh? anyways i meant wresh last post for today just say my character is hovering out of reach of your spells and i dont go down until i get back on? bye everyone!))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 09:57 PM	((Bye!:) ))
Wall 12-13-06, 10:00 PM	Lothar covers his mouth with his cloak, holding back a cough as the sickening gas flows around him. A terrible pain stabs at his shoulder, as he realizes that the wound he inflicted on his double is now his own. But he tries to concentrate on his opponents words. "Fight alone? It seems none of us are ever alone." Lothar unleashes a blast of wind, hoping to disperse the cloud. He begins to concentrate again, this time on the sky. "The sky is rather clear right now. How unfortunate." And the wind begins to blow. ((This is my hopes that he can change the weather to a big storm. I'd say that my character may have an unfair advantage in such conditions, but considering everything else that is going on, it may not be unfair at all.)) ((Edit: Bye, jackalslang! Hope you get back to us!))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 10:03 PM	((sorry, should I tone down the power level?)) The weather begins to shift to a light rain, though Lothar cannot see it. The wind does not disperse the cloud, merely filling it with a terrible wailing sound. As the first drops of the rian fall to the ground, they become black puddles, screaming faces within them. ((jolly, isn't it?)) "You are correct. No mortal is ever alone. For I, the dreamer, am there...always."
Wall 12-13-06, 10:08 PM	((Maybe a bit. It's alright if we're not on even footing. I suppose I just need to figure out where your physical body is... if Wresh is bound by such things.)) The clouds roll in, and it begins to rain slightly harder. Thunder cracks, but no lightning yet. Lothar is down on one knee now, trying to keep concentrating with the choking gas all around him. Just hang in there. "Well, dreamer, tell me... you know what happens when a mortal realizes that he's dreaming?" ((This is gonna be so cool!))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 10:15 PM	((okay, and yes, this will be fun))"An interesting question. That would depend on my mood... sometimes, they wake. Other times, they do not, and never will..." Suddenly, thunder begins to roll inside the gas cloud too, and bolts of dark lightning strike at Lothar. He looks around to notice that his double is felled, and fast disappearing. As he walks, he finds himself in a labyrinth of mirrors. In each one, he finds a terribly distorted replica of himself. Soon, Lothar is back where he has started, and the figures in the labyrinth begin to stir...((no, he may feed on fear, but he is not a glorified will-o-wisp, I hate PMs like that, anyone remember the "ragamoffyn cleric of st. cuthbert"?))
Wall 12-13-06, 10:23 PM	Lothar gazes around at the other hims in the mirrors, but simply grins a big, toothy grin. His eyes gleam, frighteningly. "That's true. Sometimes they wake, sometimes they don't. But sometimes... they take control!" A massive bolt of lightning pierces straight through the gas, accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder. The bolt strikes Lothar; and just for a second, he's surrounded by a current of electrical energy. A mighty wind whips around Lothar, propelling him upwards and out at a great velocity. He hovers in the air, looking down at the scene below from behind channels of lightning; what were once his eyes are now giving off small bolts of electricity, not enough to do anything, but enough to give an effect. "Now tell me dreamer," Lothar's voice booms like thunder. "What do you do then?" ((Stormrage is the sweetest. Spell. Ever. Oh yeah, and Lothar's pretty high level.))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 10:51 PM	For the first time, you see it smile. "You don't want to know..." The cloud disperses, and you see wresh in it. "Nothing, ofcourse, stops me from having just as much control..." Suddenly, the Bringer of Nightmares grows to many times the size, towering over Lothar. It grabs the druid, and speaks in a rumbling, harsh voice. "Then, mortal, they DIE", and begins to crush him in its grip.((sorry bout being late, working on homework at the same time))
Wall 12-13-06, 11:01 PM	((No problem. I was watching something funny.)) Lothar feels the squeeze, but it doesn't faze him... although it is hard to breath. He smiles back at the dreamer. Now. All at once, Lothar unleashes the entirety of his channeled storm in an awesome blast of wind, rain, lightning, and thunder. The thunder cracks overhead as dozens of lightning bolts aid in the attack, and the winds increase tenfold. ((I only got one of these; hope it works!)) ((Edit: Oh, and remember: we decided not to fight to the death. Surrender is enough.)) ((Edit2: Unless your character feels otherwise.))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 11:11 PM	The dreamer shrinks rapidly, and falls to the ground. Still crackling, it stands to face its assailant. The Sleeper's form is not less coherent than ever, and it struggles to maintain a form. It raises an outstretched arm at Lothar, and a quasi-illusory(like that double) net shoots out to engulf him. "This has gone on long enough... now, mortal, it is time to die..." ((I know... he's just doing this for boffo, and feel free to kill him, cosmic forces don't just die, he'll survive. He will not kill Lothar though, so no worries.))
Wall 12-13-06, 11:20 PM	Lothar comes streaking downwards, spear first, like a bolt of lightning through the net. He hits the ground with another roar of thunder. Panting, he looks straight at the dreamer. Never before had he fought like this... but something told him that he would fight like this again. And he's starting to enjoy it. Between gasps for breath, he tries to get a sentence in. "No... not yet... not dead yet... I... I can win..." He isn't regaining his breath as quickly as usual. "But who... what are you...? ...Why should I... die before... die before you? ...Is it... important? Are we... are we fated this way? What are you... what are you really?" ((Yeah, something like that.))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 11:21 PM	((can't answer for about 10 min, sorry)) EDIT: forming reply starting now, will take a while.
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 11:38 PM	"In the begginning, there was nothing. When the first creature was born, it had nothing to fear, nothing but fear of being alone, fear of itself. During the nights, it would think of these terrors, and so I was born, there to feed off its fears, and to feed its fear. When there were many living things, they had a fear of each other. I fed off this, and grew stronger still. In their dreams, I whispered imaginary fears into their ears, and paranoia. This made them fight eachother. Fight, fear, and die. On these energies, I grew stronger than ever... I shall exist so long as life, or unlife, does, so long as there is fear. I shall not die, till the last fear on the planes dies. Sometimes, though, mortals such as yourself stray, become wayward, think that you have nothing to fear from me. It is then that those troublesome things must be slain, and made an example to keep the fear alive. This, Lothar, is why you must be slain, for I am The Many, I am The Dreamer, I am The Sleeper, I am The Bringer of Nightmares, I am Wresh Haltirak, AND I SHALL NOT BE DENIED!" The Dreamer's form collapses suddenly, and Lothar is surrounded by berzerk nightmares. Wailing, moaning,shrieking, screaming, lashing and tearing away at his very soul. The pain is almost too much to bear, and dark wounds begin to appear all over him as his very existence begins to fade... "Submit now, mortal, and you shall be spared... Live in eternal fear of The Dreamer, or die..." ((any good? My first crack at an impressive backstory for a been-there-done-that-since-the-dawn-of-time type character))
Wall 12-13-06, 11:46 PM	Lothar screams as the nightmares rip at him. He struggles to stay in one piece, but they begin to overwhelm him. You've done what you can. Lothar tries to tear himself away, still screaming. It's okay, Lothar. His vision starts to fail him. Darkness creeps in around the edges of his eyes, slowly encroaching over his entire field of sight. You don't need to fight it anymore. He's failing now, his limbs like lead, barely able to see. Lothar can feel himself falling. He knows he's on his way down. As it all starts to go black, he strikes out with his spear one last time, hoping to deal a finishing blow. It's okay to be afraid. And it all goes black. ((Pretty good, especially if it was made on the fly. How's this for an ending?))
cog_n_taz 12-13-06, 11:54 PM	((thanks, everything I make is original, as well as made on the fly. Seems like it's the case with you too.)) After what seems like an eternity later, Lothar awakens in the arena hospital. It seems that his final blow struck true, or true enough. As Wresh disappeared from the blow, he has been declared the winner. Suddenly, an all-too-familiar voice rings in his mind. "Do not think that you have bested me, mortal. However, you have submitted to the fear,and I shall let you live...for now." ((dum-dum! Nice ending by the way:))) EDIT: ((bored now, got any more chars to fight mine?))
Wall 12-13-06, 11:58 PM	((Sorry, last post of the night. But since Lothar is recovering, I'll certainly come up with another character... just, tommorrow. I certainly had fun though, and I'll RP with ya' another time. G'night!))
cog_n_taz 12-14-06, 12:05 AM	((yeah, thanks, that was fun:)))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-14-06, 12:19 AM	Lafali appears at the end of the arena. "Lord of the Twelth Gate,Lafali, keeper of the moon, Moon Dragon Fang" as he unleashes mist blades from his left hand, cutting the spikes of crimsom. "Do you think that a keepper of one of the gates would let his blade harmed?" The last of the tendril of moonlight froms around moon whipser, destorying the sticky substance. With the blood moon still speeding toward him, Lafali raise moon wishper high into the air, as Ki starts to flow around him. "Rilynnathem, Dance of Death; Fifth (and last) Technique; Dragon Twister" , as 4 dragons can be seen comming out of the blade. They starts to fly around Lafali, finaly merging into an orb of golden energy, as a twister from around lafali. As the last of the dragons enters the orb, lafali brings his blade down to stike in the direction of shiro's blood moon. "Lets end this.", as the orb moves toward the blood moon the twister around it becomes much more destructed, tearing up the arena. The closer the two gets, the faster they move. It seems like the two master's techniques wants to see who is stronger. As the two orbs steaks toward each other, lafali is waiting patiently to see what happens. (:evillaugh :evillaugh :evillaugh , you did say to we needed to end this, thats lafali strongest attack with Moon Whisper, second strongest attack he has.)
cog_n_taz 12-14-06, 12:32 AM	((an apology to jakelslang21, I was going to keep it going, but it went more than a little out of control, sorry! However,I'd be happy to have another character duel his.))
cog_n_taz 12-14-06, 08:30 AM	((if someone with a suitably chaotic/unnatural/plain wropng character would like to have a crack at grey robe, that's fine by me. Otherwise, I'd like a Wresh Vs Valor matchup, and mebbe an excuse to bring skraal back into the picture. And then, ofcourse, there's the new character......:D )) All in the arena suddenly feel a particularly powerful, though invisible, presence in the arena, especially the druids. A deep, calm voice sounds from beneath the arena. "10 gold coins for a match...painful, but doable." 10 small lumps of gold ore rip out of the nearest patch of earth, and melt themselves into pure gold coins, dropping the slag back to the ground. The newly minted coins drop down to the counter, making slight scorch marks on it. "Now then, which of the lives which I have nurtured shall be the first to prove themselves?" At this, realization of some sort seems to spread through the druids in the crowd.
jakelslang21 12-14-06, 03:54 PM	((and im back!! rough day at school, anyways ill do something to bring my attention to you guys)) As Alkiroth watches the combat he lets loose a roar to get everyone's attention edit: Oh! the fight is over. anyways i guess i will just be at the lobby... waiting for someone to fight edit2: Ugh i really need to completely read these things... anyways im at the lobby waiting for someone to face. And if you want to face me Cog could you make your next guy more.... physical? I dont want to be your boss but that guy was to much, we could never find him and when you show up most attacks prove innaffective. Its not my choice what you should do, but im just trying to keep Gareth's Arena a fun place to battle.
LivingShadow 12-14-06, 04:44 PM	((As a suggestion cog, you could keep Wresh visible at all times in some form or another.))
jakelslang21 12-14-06, 05:53 PM	(( just curious is anyone still on this thread? Its been awhile since anyone really posted. Just checking ))
Foxhengeyokai 12-14-06, 06:38 PM	((You wanna pick on valor eh? Very well, once this fight ends, which will be soon, he'll manage to "pop" in. In his usual style too.)) As the two techniques revolve around each other, speeding faster and faster, twisting, turning, and causing far more destruction than is needed, they each begin to make a sound. The sound is reminiscent of of birds singing, a battle being waged, laughter of joy, cries of sorrow, the first cries of a newborn, and the last gaspings of a dying man; all of these are rolled into one, the blood moon reflecting the yin, and the dragon twister reflecting the yang. The crimson light from the bloodmoon casts an eerie shadow around the arena, highlighting the broken shards of floor. The shadows seem to move of their own accord, as if given the semblance of life by the faint light of the blood moon. As soon as the two attacks come into finla contact with each other, they both seem to vanish for a split second, and the air is perfectly still. Then. the air itself seems to erupt into chaos as a wave of massive pressure sends shiro slamming into a wall, he manages to stay standing, but seems injured.
cog_n_taz 12-14-06, 08:59 PM	((alrighty, will keep him even more visible in future. Honestly though? I was hoping I wouldn't have to cater to the "thog hit things, things fall down" industry.))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-14-06, 09:09 PM	As the wave hits lafali he is hurled throw the wall. As the dust clears you see him standing, though he kimono is torn and his dragonscale breastplate is destoryed. Tearing the last of it off lafali starts laughing loudly. "I must say, this is become a fun match. Why dont we stop playing around and start to fight, I was holding back so we didnt destory this arena," as he waves his left hand around the destoryed arena, "but I see that we might as well go all the way." He then starts to trace a rune with his left hand, drawing a golden glyph. When he is done he places his right hand upon it, "Endless Night (Couldnt find the elven words for it :mad:), Destoryer of Worlds, Bringer of Darkness, Keeper of the Rilynnathem Heirs. I, Lafali Lathi (Night Wing), heir to the rilynnathem bloodline, call you from your resting place." As a hilt starts to form in the center of the glyph. He grabs it with his right hand, "Release Endless Night", total darkness forms in the arena. As everone feels extremely heavy, as if the gravity has increase greatly. When the light returns lafali nolonger looks like the same daiyoukai. He is wearing a black kimono, the dai-sho he had is gone. His eyes are a night blue, but once againt has an icy look. The markings on his skin are gone, save for a cresent moon on his right cheek which is now black. The blade is the size of a nodachi, made out of something that looks like silver ivory. "Has you ever heard about the great war between the ancent race of inmortals called the Valurian and the dragons of rilynnathem? This blade was forage from the fang of my granfather, Emperor Ansrlian Lathi. So he could fight the Valurian in our humanoid form. It draws upon the Ki of everthing it has ever killed, but at a price. It slowly drains the lifeforce of anyone who uses it. I must say that I never thought I would have to use it again. Now, shall we start the real battle?". Lafali shimmers and appears above shiro, performing a flurry of blows agaisnt him. With each swing a dragon arc is unleashed from the blade, though unlike any other, seemingly made out of the vast darkness of space.
cog_n_taz 12-14-06, 09:22 PM	((in short: "my sword is more vorpal than your sword":P))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-14-06, 09:25 PM	((Lafali has never used or will ever use a vorpal weapon, it would be against his kin honor.))
cog_n_taz 12-14-06, 09:30 PM	((Just kidding. But his other sword is vorpal, right?:D ))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-14-06, 09:36 PM	((Lafali has 3 swords, all the other he had duel with was created using his Ki. The katana is Moon Whisper, the wakizashi is Morning Light, and the nodachi is Endless Night. None are vorpal))
Wall 12-14-06, 10:31 PM	Lothar lays in his hospital bed, staring at the stone ceiling. Every few minutes, pain shoots through his shoulder where the spear-wound appeared. He knew he could expend some energy to heal himself, but Lothar felt that some time laying around could do him some mental good. "I wonder what Ka-ki was talking about with that reward." Lothar says to no one in particular. "Maybe my reward is the fact that I'm still alive... Well, I'm glad I didn't let anyone down today." You know Wresh is still out there. It is not going away. "I know. But I'm not worried. It said we'd meet again... and next time, I intend to show that "cosmic entity" what's what." ------------------------------------------------------------ I guess this is the arena. Ludoviko Mikelo enters into the lobby. The human's brown hair is cropped short, and his mouth concealed by a long scarf. His attire is that of a traveler, with a broad-brimmed hat and a long cloak. He carries a large, leather bond book in one hand. Ludoviko moves silently over to the desk, lays out the gold on the table and signs the waiver. He then slides over to the wall and sits down, waiting for a fight. ((Can't be on much longer tonight, just thought I'd introduce my temp character before the idea left my brain. He's not quite capable enough to battle cosmic forces, but a mid-powered fight should be good.))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-14-06, 10:53 PM	Ka-Ki appears next to the hospital bed, "I see that you won your first match, ill let you pick your reward this time." A spear, cloak, and a small golden disc appears above Lothar. (no they dont fall on you, im not that mean :evillaugh , well maybe I am) "The spear is called Ruith, which means Dreamchild in elven. I have found that it can call upon ones inner strenght in times of need, alowing that person to tap into hidden power. The cloak was once worn by the comander of the Mist Knights of Rilynnathem, it will protect you from the most basic forms of magic (4th level or lower). Last is the Disc", Ka-Ki is grinning at this point ((When she grins shes up to something, trust me)), "it will alow you to call upon some of my power, but you must sacrafice some of your lifeforce to use it. The choice is yours. Or i will give you 500 gold pieces, which ever you want."
cog_n_taz 12-15-06, 12:48 AM	((GN, I was joking about hte "my other sword is vorpal" line, but nevermind. Hmm... no cosmic entities? My latest character goes out the window I guess, time for skraal!)) A red kobold mounted on a dire weasel comes riding into the arena. He is wearing rune-studded chainmail and has an adamantine lance, but is otherwise unarmed. He dismounts and walks over to Ludoviko. "say, looks like some new faces showed up while I was away eh? Well, welcome to the arena, 's elven for 'place where you hit people till they fall down and get cash', or should be, anyway. My name's Skraal, a bit of a veteran around here, and I don't like lizard jokes, height comments or dog biscuits. Now that we have that taken care of... would you mind a quick knockout duel?" ((quite a bit less serious than Wresh, this guy. I think livingshadow and fox know him around here, but I don't think anyone else does)).
Foxhengeyokai 12-15-06, 01:20 AM	((Ok, now I will rip something off from japanese legend, namely the tail pearl of the kitsune, so there, now you have been warned.I'll work on this tommorow ))
jakelslang21 12-15-06, 06:21 PM	((Hey everyone im back. Since Alkiroth here didnt stand out much, I'll use my real PC character... meet Ashihaka! A Rakshasa Nastharune who relies on his magical abilities and his physical ones to basiclly kill everything he encounters. Of course i may add some stuff to him to make him unique in the arena. Now he enters)) As all the people in the lobby rant and whine a cloaked figure with a brown hood with gold trim, white shoulderpads, a whitish tan shirt with what aoppears to be a mythril shirt under it, dirty bandages cover his arms and legs, with kneecaps that look like his shoulderblades, and a tanish grey dress like tasset enters the room you start to feel misguided as he passes. He places 10 gold coins on the table and signs the waiver then watches the epic battle outside, he sais nothing
cog_n_taz 12-15-06, 06:28 PM	fox: ((in all honesty, it sounds familiar, but I never saw it in any depiction of a fox.:))) Jakel: ((you want me to fight the guy with a grunt, or will something more sophisticated be okay?)) Skraal briefly turns invisible, sweeps by the new arrival, and tosses some catnip in his general direction.((:D))
Wall 12-15-06, 06:32 PM	Lothar's gaze switches speedily between Ka-ki and all the rewards. He thinks for a bit, looks like he's about to say something, but goes back to thinking. Finally, he looks at Ka-ki. "You know, I don't think I have the heart to take anything. I'm sorry, but thank you for offering." -------------------------------------------------------------- Ludoviko silently glares at the kobold. After what seems like an eternity of awkward silence, he speaks. "Call me Mikelo," he says, and makes an "after you" gesture towards one of the arenas. ((This character isn't serious in the fact that he's too serious... or something.))
jakelslang21 12-15-06, 06:39 PM	((Sure your guy is good. now for the catnip)) Ashihaka Stares at the catnip he then stares at you with some menacing look as if you just ate a carcass. He then growls at the catnip and jump-kicks it out the window. Then he jumps into the arena waiting for you. ((Detect Thoughts :D payback!))
cog_n_taz 12-15-06, 06:45 PM	The kobold points towards the other arena "sorry, but I gotta go, can natural selectio wait a little? Thanks." He scurries off towards the arena, lance in hand, mounted on his weasel. ((so jakel, we've got several options here, you can pick a fight with thund the barbarian(need I say more?), Wresh, doctor John, or good ol' grey robe(whose fighting style and backstory is somewhere back there if you care to look for it. In summary, he's a hideously LN... thing, uses gravity, force, and a few other things, including time.))
jakelslang21 12-15-06, 06:48 PM	((Cog i will be back in like 2 hours, Think of a character to combat me. In the meantime ill be with a friend or two soo cya!))
cog_n_taz 12-15-06, 06:49 PM	((have fun! I think I'll go for the grey robe (no name yet) ))
Wall 12-15-06, 06:52 PM	Mikelo waits in the arena, his hat and cloak hung up by metal hooks on the arena wall. He's still wearing his scarf. He bows as the little kobold enters. "Shall we get it on, then?"
cog_n_taz 12-15-06, 06:59 PM	"sure." The kobold makes a mounted charge at Mikelo, the tip of his adamantine lance spinning in place.
Wall 12-15-06, 07:02 PM	Mikelo stands in place, making a bunch of weird hand signs. Suddenly, a gigantic wall of iron erupts in front of him. ((Oh wait... your spear's adamantine... oh well.))
cog_n_taz 12-15-06, 07:08 PM	There's a muffled sound of impace, followed by the sound of Iron being ground away. Soon, the kobold tunnels through, sword first. "hi." He grins and points to the wall, then at Mikelo, and the wall promptly fall on him.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-15-06, 07:08 PM	((you refuse a gift from a dragon? and a void one that likes you? :confused: Ka-ki ant gona like that, your the second mortal that she likes, ever)) Ka-ki starts to glare at Lotha, "What, gifts from my treasure hoard are not worthy of you?" Sprouts of black flames starts spring to out from ka-ki noise.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-15-06, 07:15 PM	((cog, i know you was joking, just wanted to name my 3 swords are :D. And i know there theme is kinda the same, but lafali is the Keepper of the 12th gate, Lord of the Moon))
Wall 12-15-06, 07:20 PM	Lothar looks panicked. "No, no! That's not what I meant!" he shouts. But then he sighs deeply, and falls back on his pillow. "I'm so tired..." He tries to look back up at Ka-ki. "I very much appreciate what you have offered. And, to be honest, I like the sound of that spear. But... I just had a battle with something much larger than me on a spiritual scale. I am very tired." He grins, a weak, weary grin. "Thank you, Ka-ki. I will take the spear. I am sorry to have offended you." -------------------------------------------------------------- Mikelo glares at the wall. "Well, crap." And the wall falls flat on him. Mikelo concentrates on the wall, which is now crushing him into the dirt. An intangible burst of energy radiates through the iron slab, and Mikelo slowly begins to lift it up. First on his knees, then his feet, Mikelo holds the piece of metal above his head, and thrusts it off to the side. Mikelo's scarf unwraps itself from his neck, as though alive, and hovers by his head. Mikelo adjusts his arms and hands, creating another spell effect. Suddenly, the scarf lashes out at the kobold, assuming an iron-like countenance along the way. "Scarves: Not just a fashion statement anymore!"
cog_n_taz 12-15-06, 07:26 PM	((wu jen, is he?)) Skraal concentrates on the scarf for a moment, and touches it as it comes nearer. Suddenly, the scarf begins to rust, flake, and fall to the ground in pieces. "whew, not sure I like that colour... say, are you alright? "
Wall 12-15-06, 07:31 PM	((Yup, Wu Jen.)) Mikelo looks very distraught. "...THAT WAS MY FAVORITE SCARF!" He concentrates on the remains for a moment, and the scarf reforms and wraps itself around Mikelo's neck. "Ah, much better. And yes, I believe I am all right." Suddenly making an arcane gesture, Mikelo's skin sheaths in steel. ((Gotta' get off for now, sorry. Bet ya' can't geuss what his elemental affinity is! [/sarcasm]))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-15-06, 07:43 PM	"Good, now that that is donw with lets get you fixed." As Ka-ki starts to hum solfly, the wounds on you body starts to fade. When she is done she glides out of the room you hear in you sleep (the healing effect puts you to sleep, yopu can not go to sleep but the heal dosnt work then), "If you wish to train spiritly i know of a place, tell cysel, scarlet or....... no dont bother lafali right now. Tell them to open a portal to lafali gardens if you wish to train there." With that the heads out to watch the rest of the battle between lafali and shiro. ((Ohh the spear is mithral, +4 speed, brilliant energy, and it alows you to use d4 spells/special abilitys that you have used up or fully heals you, if you ever want to use it or try and get your DM to let you use it))
jakelslang21 12-15-06, 10:33 PM	((And im back! Its been soo busy here and stuff..... Anyways cog, did you think of someone to fight me?))
cog_n_taz 12-15-06, 11:50 PM	((sorry jakel, I was really busy, but I did think of someone...)) A grey robed figure stands in the corner of the arena area. It cannot have been there earlier, yet it feels as if it was always there, and always will be. There seems to be something within the robe, and swirling shadows and darkness inside hint that there may be, but the image presented is never the same, and sometimes, it it hard to tell is there truly is something in there at all. It glides over to the Rakshasa, and speaks in a dull, toneless voice. "we have come for that which is known as Ashihaka. We trust that you are the one. Come, we shall do battle with you now...". The apparition gives no further explanation, but simply glides to the arena.
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 12:11 AM	Skraal looks amused, and waves a glove dangerously close to his opponent. "see this? This is a glove of rusting, same thing I used earlier. Honestly, you're lucky I'm too nice to use it on you".
Foxhengeyokai 12-16-06, 02:16 AM	Shiro now works quickly, looking as if he is really trying hard to dodge and deflect the strikes from lafali. Spying a split second hole in his defense, he lashes out with a short snap kick, catching lafali in the side just enough to disrupt his attack routine, but not enough to cause any actual harm. Seizing this opportunity, shiro crouches down, and his palm quickly flashes with a strange goldish light, which seems to be slightly corrupted by the crimson aura he currently has. Mere nanoseconds later, he slams his glowing palm into the floor, creating a massive flash which fills the fighting zone, rendering him effectively invisible for just a little while, which is of course all he needs. ((Warning, Japanese Legend Rip-Off Ahead. Also, I am going to do my best to pull a tolkien here. :evillaugh )) As the light fades, shiro can be seen behind what looks like a thin veil of silk, which trails from his simple jacket. It's a slight gold color, embroidered with images of small children sharing water, mothers cooking, and men at work. It seems to shimmer a bit, and to be waving slightly, as though there was a slight breeze blowing through the still air of the arena. As it shimmers, it releases a sweet, slightly spicy smell, which reminds one of a kitchen or bakery. Shiro's jacket, while simple and functional, has a sense of elegance about it, caused by its color and delicate tracery. It is a wondrously rich azure color, which seems to have deepness so great that it looks as if it were a hole one could fall into. Delicately traced and outlined are vague lines of gold, which only serve to further accentuate the azure color, adding softness to it otherwise impossible by sheer color alone. The way shiro is standing, with that silk veil in front of him, highlights the color of his pants. They are of course silken, and of the highest quality. This can be seen in the exquisite sheen, which seems to flow like water with each and every breath shiro takes, and every movement of his legs. Shiro's pants are a golden color, reminiscent of the rising sun. Towards the crotch of them, they are a bright golden, which fades slowly into a dull glow the further it goes from the crotch. They are also embroidered. Subtle blue lines, suggesting the limitless calm of the winter sky weave together, forming a pattern which combined with the radiating gold shows a scene of a crane in flight. Shiro breathes deeply, a move which causes his fur to glisten in the arena's light. Short-haired and fine, it's a dull crimson now, but that color never detracts from the sheen shine and seeming suppleness of it. As he breathes, the light seems to dance upon shiro's fur, making it look and roll like a wave of crimson silk. Shiro's tail (Which I have yet to mention for some reason.)) is the same color as the rest of his fur, that dull crimson. It can be seen waving slowly back and forth behind shiro, looking like nothing more than a crimson pillow being slowly waved. Its movement seems to draw and captivate the eyes, as the fur shines in the light, and flows from place to place, slowly swishing in the arena air. Shiro has a look in his eyes that denotes a calm expression, even during such a heated match as this. His eyes are a brilliant green color, which seem to fairly sparkle with something, whether it be joy, excitement or pure kindness, only shiro knows for certain. Those green eyes are deep, and those who look closer can see tiny flecks of gold therein, which only seems to further deepen those green orbs. Shiro's face is what you would expect from a fox hengeyokai, namely that of a fox. His muzzle is a lighter crimson than the rest of his fur. He's got whiskers as well, these are a shining white color, and don't extend more than about four inches. They droop down a little bit near the tips, and seem to shin in stark contrast with his fur. Shiro's ears are a light crimson, just the same as his muzzle is. Perched high atop his head, and covered in an even finer fur than the rest of him, they shimmer as well. The left one is slightly dropped down near the tip, as if giving a sly wink, while the right ear is perked straight up, as if always ready to be on guard. As shiro breathes, that veil wraps around his tail, and from his tail a glow emanates. This glow is one that starts out dim, only illuminating about 2 feet from shiro's tail, but quickly begins to expand, soon covering shiro and bathing the arena in its radiance. As it creeps upwards from shiro's tail, it washes away the crimson, leaving behind the stark shining ivory colored fur he had at the start of this battle. By the time the glow has progressed to the fine tips of shiro's ears, he seems as if he were a different man. He stands revealed now as the man he truly is. No mere puppet of a blade, no mere man, but a warrior of high standing, both physically and spiritually. Upon shiro's left hand, a glowing band of every color can be seen, this band pulses with a magic so strong and so pure that it would bring tears to the eyes of those sensitive to emotions of love and trust. Perhaps not as impressive to look at, but equally important are the extra tails that have appeared at shiro's backside. They all seem to have come from the same "Tail root" as it were, and fan out, covering quite a bit of distance behind shiro, at least for a few seconds. They soon wrap around shiro, covering his waist and chest in what seems a blanket of white silk. In a serene voice, one that rings out loud and clear in the arena, and one that fills hearts with peace, calm, and resolve, as well as one robbed of all of its earlier harshness, cruelty, and even excitement, shiro says, "Lafali, I will show you my strength as well. No my friend, I haven't heard of the immortals, nor of the rilynnathem, but this is to be expected, we are of different worlds you and I. But all of this, we shall speak of later, right now, all that matters, all that makes up our world, is this arena, this fight, this life. I will say this and say it once. Lafali, keeper of the twelfth moon, if you do not take this next blow seriously, it will end you, at least until the arena's magical properties kick in. Now lafali, prepare your self for the Kiba-no-Kitsu-Kami, forged of my own spirit and soul, and blessed by the most important person in my life. My wife, who is currently with a child, waiting for me at home." Shiro calmly places one hand on one of his many tails, and seems to reach inside of it. Shuddering a bit, a move which sends waves through his silken fur, he pulls a small golden orb from his tail. The orb quickly changes form, becoming only a simply katana. As it changes, it seems to grow even brighter, until it seems as though a ray of the golden sun was being wielded. Suddenly, it flares up, and shiro seems to be gone, hidden entirely by the glow from his blade. The blade slashes forwards, blindingly fast, and releases a small sphere at the fasts point of its arc. That sphere expands, becoming what looks as if it were one thousand separate blades. Each of which is different, and appears to have a different version of shiro behind it, each one shines with a golden light, which illuminates the arena in the slight space of time it takes to reach towards lafali. As the attack ends, shiro slumps to the ground, back in his normal 1 tailed form, breathing hard.
Wall 12-16-06, 09:25 AM	Mikelo returns the amused look. "Good thing I'm not made of metal, then." ((And no, he hasn't forgotten about the spell he just cast.)) Mikelo makes another quick series of arcane gestures (a few of which look incredibly rude), and with a shriek of pain, two massive "metal" wings sprout from his back. He takes off into the air. "I'm assuming I have the upper hand now," Mikelo laughs from about forty feet above. "Considering I doubt you're known as 'The Magnificent Flying Weasel.'"
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 09:37 AM	The kobold looks up, and grins a wide, toothy reptilian grin. "Damn, you're right. I can only levitate... poor me." With that, he closes his eyes for a moment, and both Skraal and his Weasel float gracefully into the air. At the same time, Mikelo feels an extreme weight building up on him from above, slowly increasing. "ever heard of a wall of force? Well, that's..." He begins to count, "27, and I might've missed a few." (wall, a rather belated apology, I didn't realize I messed with your character concept for Lothar that much...:())
Wall 12-16-06, 09:55 AM	((No need for apology, cog. It's cool.)) Mikelo struggles to stay airborne as the weight bears down on him. But just then, it donned on him... Walls of Force can only be cast vertically ((PHB, page 299)). So he stops struggling, as the weight he thought was bearing down on him ceases to bear down on him. "Silly Kobold, tricks are for kids!" Mikelo laughs, and with a swift forward thrust of his arm, he sends a barrage of metal needles straight for Skraal.
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 10:04 AM	" 'silly kobold, tricks are for kids!' Real mature speech, that." Now, where was I... oh, right, the living pin cushion issue... A buckler of magnetic rock materializes hovering in front of the needles, he sticks the needles to it and tosses it back at the mage. "have fun!"
Wall 12-16-06, 10:10 AM	"Hilarious, aren't I?" Mikelo laughs again. ((Author's note: he hates his sense of humor. Got low self esteem, that man.)) Sticking out his hand, Mikelo stops the needles in mid air, and forces them back at Skraal. ((This is starting to sound like a game of magical death pong.))
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 10:14 AM	((Im back again! How many times have i put this on this board like 5? Crazy.... Ok Cog i will be on for wquite awhile now)) The beast looks behind and sees the cloaked creature "Aye, my name is Ashihaka. Might you be my opponent, fiend?" ((Attitude)) He stares at the cloaked figure for as long as he stands waiting for it to strike
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 10:14 AM	((agreed, time to introduce... the bumper brothers! No I won't, so you can save your horror for later)). As the bolts of steel fly towards him, he seems not to notice them. Instead, he is talking to his mount. "...hungry? Already? oh alright..." With that, the creature gallops forward and devours the needles. It swallows them quickly and charges on to Mikelo, mouth agape. "Guess who's next? That's right..."
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 10:20 AM	((actually, I need to go very soon, will be back in 8 hours :( )) The figure turns back to ashihaka, and speaks in the same toneless voice: "We are no fiend, nor are we your oponent. You are merely our quarry. Come now, you have violated The Order, and like all before you, you shall be Annulled."
Wall 12-16-06, 10:22 AM	Mikelo's eyes widen visibly as the beast charges him. Suddenly, he turns tail and flies. The weasel and the wu jen fly loops around the arena in a comical chase scene, probably involving a hallway with many doors and wacky music, or some such nonsense. Suddenly the wu jen turns to face the weasel (and the dire weasel. Ohohoho! No, I kid, I kid.) and fires another volley of needles in their general direction.
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 10:23 AM	((Oh man.... its like a jynx i stay on briefly, everyone is on and stuff then when i get to stay on for like the whole day my opponents gotta leave. Anyways i may go back to the lobby until you come back or if there is an opponent to fight k cog?)) The beast looks at the cloaked figure then hesitates "No, no no not now. Another time, fiend." with that Ashihaka leaps back into the lobby and waits for another competitor
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 10:32 AM	((being on at the same time will hardly ever happen, you're supposed to post when you can and wait for a reply.)) The apparition ((NOT a fiend, ghost, spirit, wraith, or any of that.)) Speaks, for once, in a deep, impressive voice. "NO, you shall come with us, NOW." The kobold, meanwhile, looks surprised when his oponent flees and gives chase, but mumbles "fair enough, I spose.". As the quills fly toward him, he whispers to his mount once again: "what? Not hungry any more eh? *beep*". He manages to block and parry the needles with haphazard pieces of force, but a few embed themselves in his shoulder. "damn, I hate it when that happens... say, how do you like this?" Skraal makes a few gestures and (supposedly) magical words, although quite a few seem unnecessary and less than polite. With a flash of light, a buket materializes over the Wu Jen's head, smacking him square on the top of his head and spilling a mixture of rust monster feelers, black lotus extract and acid on him.
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 10:39 AM	((Yes that was my bad, well i know how i can fix this. And by the way the Rakshasa is only calling you a fiend to make you angry.)) Ashihaka turns around and glares at the cloaked figure and snickers he then sais "Oh sorry fiend did i make you mad? No matter i will wait for your agitation to build up and then fight." He jumps back out the window and lands no more no less then 40 feet away drawing a spiked chain from it seems like nowhere. He then waits taunting you and such.
Wall 12-16-06, 10:42 AM	After being smacked in the head with a bucket, it's contents spilling all over him, Mikelo spirals toward the ground and crashes face-first, creating a mini-crater that he struggles in vain to remove his head from. Giving up, his metal skin liquifies and pours off him, revealing pink flesh once again. His wings, however, point straight up at the kobold. It looks for a moment as though he is ruffling his wings, but after a moment you may notice that each individual feather is spiking upwards. And with his own not-so-polite gesture (not even trying to disguise it as a somatic spell component), the wings suddenly burst into thousands of individual adamantine feathers, rocketing towards Skrall and his mount. So to recap: Face in ground, Feathers in sky, and giving off smoke due to the acid burns.
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 10:42 AM	((naw, that's just its ordering about tone of voice, you can't affect its emotions, if it has any.)) "Your efforts are in vain, Ashihaka. You shall come now." With that, the figure drifts off to the arena, and the Rakshasa feels an invisible force dragging him towards the battlefield.
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 10:44 AM	As Ashihaka feels this dragging force, he mumbles a few words and then he breaks loose "Hah! Try to bring me down in such cowardice terms are you!? Show yourself and fight coward!" He then uses detect magic to determine your location (your call) and waits
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 10:46 AM	((still not up to what you managed with Lothar, but pretty good.)) "I hope you like snow globes.." He raises a hand, and a slightly transparent orange hemisphere encloses the spikes. They bounce around furiously before exiting a hole at the bottom...heading straight at Mikelo. "you know, in hindsight, maybe I overdid it... guess I better get some healin' ready."
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 10:46 AM	((err...it's in the arena right now, and waiting))
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 10:49 AM	(("drifts" from what i know is somewhat sneakly dissappears without much knowing but then again you might know it in a different way but whatever)) With that he charges to the cloaked figure and throws an annulet and makes a stop around 15 feet away
Wall 12-16-06, 10:52 AM	((Up to what that I managed with Lothar?)) A magnetic bubble bursts to life around Mikelo's body, but doesn't quite protect him from all of the feathers. A few make it through, piercing Mikelo's skin and sticking out at odd angles. The sounds of muffled yelling can be heard from under the ground.
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 10:52 AM	((awright, "glides")) The figure raises a hand, and the amulet falls to the ground. Time seems to slow, and Ashihaka feels an incredible force pushing him down to the ground, crushing him... the ari around him turns grey and translucent, the grey robe barely visible through it.
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 10:54 AM	As Ashihaka feels the crushing pressure he trys to detect thoughts to find his next move and try a Dispel Magic to try to get out of the crushing force
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 10:54 AM	The kobold lands back to the ground, and raises both arms. From one hand he begins to shoot a stream of mindblades, and with the other, arcs of crackling blue lightning. ((everything in the second half of the fight against Lothar was pretty good, especially the stormrage bit:)))
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 11:00 AM	As Ashihaka probes the thing's mind, he is foiled by the mental equivelant of a steel wall. "Our mind is our own, mortal.". The Rakshasa is crushed against the ground, but as sson as he casts his spell, he is released from the effects. Only to move, as Skraal would put it, " from the torches to the pitchforks". A swirling black void appears bmidway between the two combatabts, and time seems to slow once again around Ashihaka as he is slowly dragged towards it. Yet it seems so hard to resist, indeed, there seems to be nothing wrong with simply falling into the void, even running to it. It just seems to be the most natural thing in the world, so obvious, so right......
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 11:07 AM	Ashihaka tsarts screa ming in pain and soon breaks out of the void's wants he then says in a rather docile tone "You have indeed your equal with me i will not lie but that does NOT mean i cant fight back!" He then tsarts waving his hands around making unkown symbols suddenly his spiked chain turns into a large snake black and attempts to engulf the being just before that 3 annulets come up from behind "You have gained respect. You are no longer a fiend."
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 11:12 AM	The figure is, as always, impassive and unimpressive. At its opponent's comment, it replies: "we never were..." As the snake flies towards the apparition, time seems to flow more quickly for it, in a sort of localized bubble. Skin peels from it, eyes rot, fangs turn to dust, and scales disintegrate. In the end, nothing but a skeleton plops down by it.
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 11:18 AM	Ok the corpse turns back into his iron chain as he leaps down from above with atleast a dozen shurikens slowed by the time but still at a decent pace start to barrage around and near the figure (maybe a few hit, your call) and then he takes out a scimitar and tries to come up wit5h a sneak attack, followed by the annulets
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 11:18 AM	alright everyone, especially Jakel((no offense, but you need help with description:) )) , check out this excellent post by Gideon, the "winning" bit is irrelevant, but it is otherwise very good reading. http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=10650720&postcount=552
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 11:21 AM	Some of the shuriken embed themselves in the robe, but no impressive damage seems to have been wrought. A hand of pure force then appears by the Rakshasa, bashing him towards the ground before grabbing the amulet. Slowly, the ages seem to pass around it, and slower yet, it falls to the gorund, collection in a thin patch of dust.
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 11:21 AM	((eh, i dont really care about description just as long as it gets the message across and the person knows what im doing))
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 11:23 AM	((I know, but you may want to read the entire thing, none the less. If you want to see the results, check out Caben Duur on the relevant arena, pure awesome.))
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 11:25 AM	Ashihaka falls with a thud into the ground and he does not seem to get up. With your happy defeat ((you assume)) you feel something is wrong like a trap. Then out the shadows comes the rakshasa with a bloody face and broken teeth he then conjures a light as hot as fire coming for you
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 11:26 AM	((yeah i saw it its cool, still reading it though))
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 11:31 AM	((you assume that I assume something? badbadbad... oh well.)) As the orb hurtles towards Ashihaka's opponent, it seems to slow, cool, and finally, freeze. With its newly acquired weight, it falls to the ground, shattering into a thousand pieces and hitting both combatants with shards of flaming ice. Again, invisible pieces of force begin to form a film around the Rakshasa, attempting to keep it in place. EDIT: ((reading it? 'Kay, I'll wait.))
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 11:39 AM	((Yes, i know criticise my typing i dont really care i just said that so you wqould know you did not win it might not have been the best way but i wanted it to stay real not like "as the rakshasa falls to th ground with a thud..." that sounds like a vicxtor doesnt it? What orbs are you talking about and i will just read the thing as i wait for you to reply)) Ashihaka stands with tiny bits of ice in his body still burning. He still seems very able in combat even though he has took multiple wounds. He charges at you then stops about 10 feet away and uses Greater Dispel Magic on you hoping this may put a stop to your tricks
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 11:47 AM	((first: I said nothing about your typing. second: I was very careful to say that I only slapped you downwards, but that you did not, in fact, hit the ground(left that bit up to you) third: I didn't want you to assume that I assume something, and you could have done without it. For example, have is illusion melt away with the real rakshasa reappearing behind, or something. fourth: I was referring to the orb of light you sent at me.)) The spell removes the hand and bonds, but nothing more. ((I will post more some time tommorow. I was staying up (and getting pure hell for it from the rest of the family, I might add) because I felt a little sorry that no one was around at the same time as you, but if this is what I get, forget it.))
jakelslang21 12-16-06, 12:03 PM	((See you did not really criticise my typing and i was not mad at you i was in a rush to respond i dont get mad at people for saying i did something wrong its lame to do that. Also i did not meen to get you mad at me because i said the responce incorrectly and that was my fault i should have slowed down. See i meant you assumed something to get the message that i was not dead or knocked out or whatever so for future reference i will not get mad at you even if my typing sounds aggressive ok?:) , well then i will see you when i do))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-16-06, 12:12 PM	((fox, can i just say that that was an epic tall right there, it will be a few days as i try my hardest to come close to that.))
Wall 12-16-06, 01:44 PM	The cold, clammy dark grips Lothar, crushing him like a gigantic fist. It's like a void; as much as he struggles, there isn't anything to struggle against. He can feel the air being squeezed out of his lungs. Lothar tries to scream, but no sound issues from his mouth. Finally, he begins to shut down... It's a dream, idiot. Lothar's eyes open, the rest of his body unmoving. Still in the hospital room. Waiting a moment, he feels the air currents; no one's around. Relieved, Lothar pulls himself up and gingerly tests his ability to walk. Despite the recent nightmares, Ka-ki's healing seems to have done him good. You'll need to thank her again. It is then that Lothar spies the spear propped up against the wall. He slowly moves closer, and reaches out his hand to touch its mithril length. At his touch, it glows brightly, and a surge of energy courses through his hand. Lothar pauses for a moment, but gathers his courage and grips the spear. Neat. The begins to glow brightly in his hands, changing from a length of metal to a shaft of light. Lothar gazes in wonder upon the weapon. He thinks for moment, wondering... Lothar let's his natural energies flow into the weapon, mixing his spirit with the weapon's magic. Almost instantly, the shaft of light become something much more familiar to him: a bolt of pure lightning. After exercising for a little while, and performing some weapon drills with his new spear, Lothar dons his torn cloak and exits back into the lobby. "Cycel," he says. "Or Scarlet? Ka-ki wanted me to speak to you." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- With one last pull, Mikelo finally removes his head from its earthen tomb. Something catching is eye, Mikelo turns around, gripping one of his acid burns. His eyes widen as the bolts of various energy strak towards. Reflexively, Mikelo tumbles off to the left, narrowly avoiding one of the raining mind blades. Scrambling to his feet, he tries to run some distance between himself and the little kobold, dodging between lightning and mindblades with very, very little in the way of panache. Finally, his luck runs out. An arc of lightning hits Mikelo square in the back, sending him flying and rolling along the ground. He whimpers in pain, not even daring to move.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-16-06, 02:23 PM	Cysel looks at lothar as he wanders into the room, a sly smile comes upon his face as he spys the spear, "Yes, how may I help you? I see that you have Ruith now. I must say I would not of think of a better person than you to wield it again."
Wall 12-16-06, 02:43 PM	Lothar looks taken aback for a moment by Cysel's compliment, but grins sheepishly. "Um, thanks! I guess you saw my fight? Heh heh, erm... Ka-ki told me something about a garden where I could train spiritually... and that you would be able to get me there. That sound familiar to you?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-16-06, 02:50 PM	"So she told you about masters garden? If you wish I could take you there, but you need to know first that it is a very deadly place to train, look that those two battle out there (shiro and lafali), it is lafali home and training ground for his house. Some parts of it I dont dare to venture. Take your time to decide your answer. ((Ohh and did you want me to make it an rpg bourd like this one, was already planning on doing that afters lafali and shiro match ends))
Wall 12-16-06, 02:56 PM	Lothar glances out the window at the battle still in progress. It's that guy's training ground? Heh, good luck buddy. As Lothar watches the two duke it out, he can't even begin to look away. The power with which they fight... A massive lump appears in Lothar's throat, but he swallows hard. Still looking out the window, Lothar nods. "Yes. Please take me there." But a thought hits him. "...Assuming it is all okay with your master Lafali, of course." ((A seperate thread? Sounds groovy.))
Foxhengeyokai 12-16-06, 03:01 PM	((May I sugest doing it in the Oriental Adventures forum? That place needs some life badly.Also, what did you all think of my tokien inspired post?))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-16-06, 03:09 PM	"Very well, I will take you to my masters garden ((it will be monday before I get the thread started, work sucks when you having fun :tantrum:, and I still need to show yall lafali true form and final attack when I get down writing it. And yes I am writing it down before I type it up.)." As the mist starts to form around both Cysel and Lothar, "Dont worry about my master, he likes having new opponents...... I mean guests(:evillaugh) And it would be nice having another person to train with." As the mist departs none of lafali students nor lothar are anywhere to be seen. ((scarlet came along and Ka-Ki isnt lafali student))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-16-06, 03:10 PM	((Love it now i have to come up with something, and i was planing on putting it there. Any suggestion on the name or dose Lafali Garden sound fine? Ohh and wall you can decline the mist walk effect if you want to.))
Wall 12-16-06, 03:13 PM	((Nah, Lothar will come along. Lafali Garden sounds fine, in my opinion. I'd also like to suggest the name "Spirit Garden" or something similar.))
Foxhengeyokai 12-16-06, 03:20 PM	((how about, "Dojo hidden the forest of mist and spirit?"))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-16-06, 03:24 PM	((ignore this, just reread your battle))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-16-06, 04:28 PM	((cant come up with the right words to desribe lafali true from.)) As the golden blades crosses the distant between shiro and lafali, he brings up endless night, "Endless Night, Bankai!, Fang of the Night Wing!". Time seems to stop, as darkness envelope eveything, the only light is that of the Kiba-no-Kitsu-Kami. A dragon is orbiting lafali, gradually becoming one with endless night, which now has a golden glow. "You have already seen this technique before, but not like this. This time there is no holding back." Once again lafali brings endless night, as 4 dragons form out of the darkness. While they orbit lafai, they give off huge amount of Ki. "Dragon Twister" The dragons start to form into an orb of light, at the end of lafali blade. In mere nanosecond (again give credit to shiro) the orb is formed. As he brings down the mighty blade the twister forms around the orb as it streaks toward shiro attack. "Its up to fate to decide the winner now, all that I am is in that attack" as lafali falls to the ground. Slowly his humanoid form starts to change, scales froms on his skin, his kimono disolves as his dragon body forms. Golden in color, lafali is over 1000 feet long, curling around himself to fit in the arena. As Kiba-no-Kitsu-Kami and the Dragon Twister meet there is an explosion of light, banishing the darkness. As the dust settles..........
Foxhengeyokai 12-16-06, 04:51 PM	As the dust clears, both combatants can be seen on opposite ends of the arena. Shiro is on the far right side, still slumped against the wall, his shining white fur glistening. Upon closer inspection, his eyes are closed, and show no signs of opening. Shiro is uncouncious, and breathes easily, but deeply, with each breath sending waves of fur rolling in the light.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-16-06, 05:07 PM	And Lafali is sleeping, which everone in the arena can tell by the load snoring that can be heard. A soft mist starts to form around him, as he gradually fades away. ((hes heading back to his garden, which will be open later this week.))
LivingShadow 12-16-06, 05:12 PM	"Amasing, those two finally finished."
Gideon_Gideonson 12-16-06, 06:28 PM	Rynce D'Janas looks up from his seat on the arena floor. "Well...I suppose that if my foe does not return, I am no longer honor-bound to kill him." He gets up, lifts the broken body of his mount, and strides towards the exit. Some remnants of the binding spell pull at him, but he forces his way through, passing under the arched gateway. As he kneels beside the corpse of Brian, drawing the scroll given to him by Qel, he shakes his head and mutters beneath his breath. "Fiends and devils...ha. What archfiend would simply abandone a battle? Perhaps it was merely a powerful illusionist..." Unrolling the scroll, Rynce begins a strange and haunting chant. For some time he remains motionless, the chant echoing in the air, and then a brilliant white light envelopes the corpse of the rhinoceros. Rynce gets back to his feet, and proceeds to ru-buckle the great full-plate armor onto his powerful steed. Then, mounting up, he pats his newly ressurected mount on its mighty neck, and rides back to the stands.
Foxhengeyokai 12-16-06, 08:22 PM	Shiro slowly gets up, and shakes his head. "Well, that was fun while it lasted, what next?" Shiro snaps his fingers together, and appears back in the main waiting room, right besides the registration desk, wondering if jaden heard his "Special news."
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 08:44 PM	((alright jakel, sorry about that, I'm back now)) Jakel: Ashihaka finds himself in an unfamiliar place, grey, cold corridors leading in all directions, perfectly cut grey stone, and inescapable cells line every corridor. His opponent is nowhere to be seen, or more accurately, he can see and sense it...everywhere. "Submit now, and you shall be spared Annullment, defiler of The Order." wall: Skraal suddenly looks concerned, he raises his hand and a bolt of pure positive energy at Mikelo. It strikes him in the back, but where there should be pain, there is only bliss. His wounds begin to heal, and the pain leaves his body. "you have no idea how lucky you are, most here aren't exactly as nice as I am, so you better run along now. ((if you didn't lose yet, and want to go "harhar sneak attack 20d6!" than that's fine too.))
Lord_Gareth 12-16-06, 09:22 PM	Halfway to the stands, an icy mist pours out of the ground, suffusing the air in front of Rynce. He can feel the warmth being drained away, pulled into the mist, as it thickens. The pale blue mist hangs there like a shroud, and then thins, revealing a tall man in archaic plate. He is covered in ice in any place that will hold it, and more mist pours from the grinning demonic faces on his plate mail. His blonde hair is scraggly and pale as death, and his eyes are blue as ice. His ash-grey skin has a sickly pallor to it, and hangs from his bones loosely. At his hip, Rynce sees a black, lusterous scabbard, made of the finest opal. And in that scabbard, a sword that he recognizes, that would strike screaming terror into lesser men. Soulreaver, scourge of a thousand worlds, the ravager of hundreds of planes. It could only have one weilder a century, and Rynce knows the man before him. Standing in front of the repentant villan is Lord Gareth the Cold, destroyer of a dozen worlds, responsible for more innocent deaths than even the fiends of the Abyss could claim for their own. He smiles, revealing slightly pointed teeth, and speaks in a voice chill as the grave. "Hello, Rynce. That was an impressive display down there. Would you care to talk awhile?" ((Gareth's redemption is not common knowledge. Actually, just about no one knows about it who hasn't been here. So, unless you say otherwise, Rynce sees evil exemplified standing not two feet from him))
Wall 12-16-06, 09:25 PM	((Come now cog, I wouldn't do that... or would I? Mwahaha... haha... ha. No, no I really wouldn't.)) Mikelo warily climbs to his feet, keeping his eyes on Skraal, in case the kobold is just setting up a trap. After another moment of awkward silence, Mikelo quickly bows. "Thankyousir!" he says, trying to hide his embarrassment. He summons his hat and cloak, and runs off. ((What can I say? The man's a coward as well as an arrogant fool. Oh well, maybe he'll have an epiphany or something someday, if he ever returns. Sorry if that battle wasn't quite as fun.))
Gideon_Gideonson 12-16-06, 09:31 PM	"YOU!" Rynce's eyes burn with an inner vengenance. He draws his morningstar and inches his mount fractionally closer. "Lord Gareth, isn't it? The one who single-handedly destroyed Efferia? The man who summoned the Skullwinter in the Celestial Glades? The beast who has more innocent blood on his hands than the titans have in their entire bodies?" "I know you...and we have nothing to discuss." The fire in his eyes dies, and he abruptly turns his mount around. The screech of grating metal fills the arena as the great beast rears up and turns in place, its armor sliding against itself. Then it falls back to earth, and Rynce gathers up the reins once more, heading on his way. He spares no glance for the man behind him.
Foxhengeyokai 12-16-06, 09:31 PM	Shiro waves at gareth. "It's been quite a while." Valor hangs his head and says "Great, more getting beat up training..."
Lord_Gareth 12-16-06, 09:42 PM	Gareth's face contorts with the effort of restraining his fury. Ice cracks as his hands form iron fists, and Soulreaver begins gibbering madly, eager at the prospect of its master killing in anger, of feeding it once more. For several seconds, even the arena itself seems to seethe with anger, and the temperature drops rapidly and signifigantly. Even your souls feel the chill, as negative energy begins to creep into the air. But, as that happens, Gareth realizes his folly, and forces a calm upon himself. He looks Rynce straight in the eye. "I must forgive you your harsh words, for you are not quite informed. I regret what I've done, and I have repented, and still strive to better myself. I've taken others under my wing, to better teach them and to learn from them, and I still learn something about morality each day. Young Killraven here taught me the value of innocence. Shiro has taught compassion and mercy. Even you have taught me something, Rynce." Soulreaver jumps angrily, leaping into his hand. He scowls at the blade and slams it into its sheath. "Soulreaver's nature, however, cannot be denied. I therefore keep the blade, to prevent another from abusing its power. I will give you some time to consider all that I've said, but remember that even the most vile of men can repent their ways." With that, he strides over to Valor, leaving footprints of metallic ice. "Valor, I hear Jaden's boot had a pleasure date with your ass the other day. What did you learn from that encounter?"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-16-06, 10:06 PM	Rynce stands tall on his mount, calling after the retreating figure. "Repenting is simple enough, Lord. But what have you done to deserve it? Compared to you, my evils are as nothing, but my repentence is still unfinished." The crusader's voice is scathing as he makes his caustic accusation. "So tell me...how much, and who to?"
Foxhengeyokai 12-16-06, 10:13 PM	Valor rubs his temples and resonds "She tried to kill me while in a rage! I'f like to be trained by somebody a little less.... psychotic, if you don't mind. You know, she forced me to casst my best spell. I was saving it for a- WHAT???" Valor's jaw practiacally drops to the floor and he slowly turns to face shiro. "Wha,wha,what did you say teacher? Your wife is what????" Shiro only smiles, saying "It seems the plane she's on has an accelerated time rate.."
Lord_Gareth 12-16-06, 10:16 PM	Gareth whirls about on his heels, the ire in his eyes visible even from the distance that seperates him from Rynce. He strides over to the repenting villan, the ice in his footprints shattering with every step. "Fool! Ignorant child! Do you have any true idea of the atrocities I had to watch myself commit? Do you have any idea of whom I was enslaved to for nigh on a century? Do you know the trials I had to go through to regain what was taken from me? And you DARE question my repentance? YOU DARE TO CAST MY OWN DEEDS INTO MY TEETH?" His hands clench into fists, and you hear the shattering of glass. You hear the steady dripping of Gareth's blood leaking from his hands as he maintains a deathgrip on the jagged shards of ice in his palms. "Who have I made my repentance to? I spent ten years, TEN YEARS, seeking not even forgiveness, but merely the chance to repent! Ten years, I made my way through the trials of Tyr. Ten years, and afterwards, I am told to make my repentance! I have strived to repent, to better myself and rid my soul of the black taint that Ner'Zhul put on it, and you spit upon all my work and deeds as though they mean nothing. WHO ARE YOU TO DARE THIS WITHIN MY OWN CITADEL? WHO ARE YOU TO QUESTION THE LORD OF JUSTICE?!?" His seething fury pours out in an icy chill, coating every wall, every cieling and floor, with metallic, crystal ice. Within, black energy flits about, eager to escape and consume the life near it. Gareth is close to losing control entirely, and everyone knows it.
Foxhengeyokai 12-16-06, 10:18 PM	In a flash, shiro is standing beside gareth, placing a silken furred hand on his shoulder. In a kindness filled voice, he states "Calm my friend, that is not who you are now, hold your rage, and turn it into understanding."
Lord_Gareth 12-16-06, 10:22 PM	The moment Shiro touches Gareth, negative energy floods the fox, blasting him back in a wave of entropy. Gareth doesn't seem to notice, nor care. His eyes are fixed on Rynce, and he snarls in fury, his rage echoing throughout the entire Arena. And yet, you can see that even now, he holds himself back, if only barely. Shiro and Valor, especially, can see him warring with himself, torn between duty, indignance, faith, and dozens of other factors that threaten to snap him completely. Rynce has said exactly the wrong things at exactly the right time.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-16-06, 10:29 PM	Rynce matches Gareth's stare, unblinking and resolute. "By the light, I am Rynce D'Janas, Crusader of Pelor. And I care nothing for your deeds.. I merely wonder...a man so despicable, so bloodthirsty, that the very demons of the Abyss tremble at his name and fear his deeds...how is such a man to repent? What did you do?" "So far you have told me nothing. And I will not accept that, if I am to believe you." "As for your citadel, fah! Why should I care? Because you're the Lord of Justice? Prove it. Where was your justice when you slaughtered the elves of Il'rahan? When you slew the High Priests of Cilan? What makes you different now?" "In short, why should I believe a word you say?" OOC: Sorry if Rynce comes across as an *****...he's just very...um...straight forward with his opinions, and angry at the world in general. Don't take it personally.
Lord_Gareth 12-16-06, 10:35 PM	Gareth brings one hand up to his neck and snaps off a necklace hanging there. He hurls the symbol thereon at in front of Rynce's mount, where he can see the scales of justice. "The evenhanded Tyr, Lord of Justice, decreed my punishment himself. I have toiled under his watchful eye for nigh on a century, doing tasks that should have killed me. My faith was my shield then, and Tyr has honored my repentance, and my continuing works, by making me one of his Paladins. In his wisdom, the Evenhanded has not removed the curse that haunts me to this day, as an ever-present reminder of what lies on that dark path I once took. You want to know what makes me different now? I HAVE A SOUL!" These last words echo far into the depths of space, and even magic. You can feel something changing, and it is ominous. And as Gareth stands there, panting in fury, an ice-cold gate opens in the center of the arena, unnoticed by the arena master.
Foxhengeyokai 12-16-06, 10:37 PM	As shiro steps back, shaking his fur as if to shake off water, little black tendrils fly off. "I see now. Gareth, while you were evil in the past, that is not who you are now, nor is it what you are. It may be a part of you, but it isn't you. I cannot pretend to know or to have felt what you have, but I can offer only my understanding, forgiveness, and friendship. Never shall you recive my pity, you aren't weak." Valor only shrugs and opens his mouth as if to speak, then closes it.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-16-06, 10:41 PM	"Tyr...now that is interesting." Rynce stares at the symbol before him for some time, before turning away in disgust and anger. "So be it. But do not assume I approve of you, or believe your tales. I will be watching you, Lord Gareth." "And having a soul means nothing. Souls can be corrupted, ruined, drained...prove yourself to me, and I will trust you. Until such a day, expect no praise from me." Rynce turns Brian around again, heading off away from the lord of the arena. As he goes, he calls out behind him. "By the way...you've got a little problem to deal with. You appear to have opened a rift to some other world. But a little thing like that won't bother you, will it?" His voice takes on a mocking sarcasm. "After all, you've got Tyr on your side."
Lord_Gareth 12-16-06, 10:58 PM	((Anyone notice the large, evil extraplanar gate? And Gideon, you need to update your fight record/character locations))
Gideon_Gideonson 12-16-06, 10:59 PM	OOC: Thanks for the heads up. And I'll fix my last post.
cog_n_taz 12-16-06, 11:26 PM	Skraal watches as his opponent scurries off, shaking his head. "could've been worse... I spose"
Lord_Gareth 12-16-06, 11:33 PM	((Alright folks, prepare for my first solo fight scene! Weeee!)) A shadow falls upon the arena, and, amazed you look up to see a dark disc blotting out the light of the sun. The gate in the arena center glows a bloody red, and unearthly shrieks issue forth from it. A dark figure steps through the gate, and you see another dark knight step through. He is raven-haired and menacing, every inch of his being suggesting an ineffable malice towards all life. His armor is fashioned like Gareth's, but the sword at his hip is in an ordinary leather scabbard. As he speaks, you can hear the screams of the dying faintly in your ears, as though thousands were being freshly butchered, again and again. "Gareth, the Lich King demands a report on your progress," he barks out in a voice full of mocking imperialism, "And has sent me to retrieve it from you. And here I find you, lounging about like you don't have a multiverse to snuff all life from." Gareth's face pales, but he stands straight and looks the newcomer in the eye. "Tell Ner'Zhul to go to Hell, and take you with him!" The newcomer lets out a short, bitter laugh. He smiles a slow, drawling smile, and suddenly every inch of him is covered in deep orange flames. He draws his runesword, and beckons with one hand. "Come now Gareth, and say it to my face. I was always stronger than you, and I know your weakness. Your sword can't touch me, and your pathetic ice is nothing." Gareth draws Soulreaver, holding it in a two-handed grip. His holy symbol, still lying in the dirt, begins to glow with a holy radiance. "Kolvik Naz, by the decree of Tyr, you are sentenced to death unless you renounce the Lich King and repent your sins. Ner'Zhul cannot save you here." Kolvik snarls his rage, and the two leap to join battle. Gareth swings high and low, cutting fast and furiously to try and keep is opponent off balance, but is balked by the flames that reach ever towards him. Kolvik ignores the blows as Soulreaver passes harmlessly through him. "Really Gareth, the Lich King knows how to stop his own creation." With an idle wave, a huge gout of flame rips through the air, blasting the icelord into a wall. "And the wonderful thing is, Gareth, that your own Arena won't let you just kill me. Your friends can't interfere, and your magic won't save you. You're about to die here, Gareth." Kolvik surges across the arena, moving with the ferocity of hellfire. Gareth barely dives away from the furious flames, stumbling for safety as the hellflame blasts cleave through the air, leaving thunderclaps in their wake. Another blast consumes the icelord, and he falls to the ground, panting, beaten. His skin is charred, and his armor is twisted and broken. He tries to sit up, to move, and cannot. Kolvik moves over slowly, contemptuously, and stands over his foe. "Goodbye, Gareth. I'll be sure to tell the Lich King of your betrayal, so he can torment that new soul of yours." He gathers the fire from himself, and it forms into a great sphere in his upraised hand. He smiles a cruel, wicked smile. Summoning the last of his energy, Gareth throws one hand forward, pointing straight at his attacker. As he screams out what he believes to be his dying words, his holy symbol flares with light, filling both the physical arena, and the souls of the people in it, with hope, determination, and the unshakable belief that good always triumphs. "No! I will not let you do this to the people here! If I die, the arena goes with me, with all the innocents within it. I WILL NOT LET YOU!" The light clears, and you see Gareth standing there, fully restored. His armor had been replaced with shining plate, decorated in the symbols of his god. Soulreaver is back in its place on his hip, and in his hands is a great maul, with a head made out what looks like the purest crystal. The former death knight radiates holy energy, even as Kolvik staggers back from the light. "Kolvik, send the message of your failure to the Lich King. Tell him that I will stand vigilant here forever!" Gareth slams his maul into the ground, and a great fissure opens up, radiating light. Kolvik screams once before he is swallowed in the glorious crack, which seals itself. Gareth smiles, and then slumps to the ground, out cold.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 12:03 AM	Rynce looks slightly impressed, in spite of himself. "Impressive, Gareth. Impressive. And unexpected. It would seem Tyr really does favor you..."
Lord_Gareth 12-17-06, 12:03 AM	((He's stone-cold unconcious man. He can't hear ya :D ))
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 12:12 AM	OOC: I know...but Rynce isn't the kind to rush to his aid, but he might compliment him if Gareth couldn't hear.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-17-06, 12:28 AM	As a solf mist forms in the arena a familer figure appears, Lafali. "Umm, i wounder if i could have one of my portals here?" He then notice that Gareth is unconcious. "Well i can have that, then who would answer my question." He walks over to where gareth lay and places his left hand upon gareth forehead. "Umm, he is out cold, isnt he." A soft glow surounds gareth as his wounds start to heal.
Lord_Gareth 12-17-06, 12:29 AM	((This isn't a 'you got the snot beat out of you' kind of knocked out. This is a 'you just channeled the pure divine wrath of your patron deity and you REALLY need a nap' kind of knocked out. Have patience. By the way, how'd my first solo fight scene go over? Good/Bad/Ugly/Horribly Cliched?))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-17-06, 12:32 AM	((I know that, lafali is a Keeper of a Gate of Power, his Lay on Hands fully revive the person mind, body and soul. But its up to you. And when did a dragon have patience when he wanted to get something done. Great to you question.)) "Umm, I guess I'll have to wait. I wounder where shiro is." With that he searchs for shiro.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 12:45 AM	OOC: For what it's worth, I liked it. :D
LivingShadow 12-17-06, 07:58 AM	((Not bad, a little cliche at the end though. The holy transformation while fun should not be overdone.))
Lord_Gareth 12-17-06, 01:11 PM	((Well, it's nowhere near permanent. As a matter of fact, it'll be ending somewhere within the time frame of NOW)) Gareth stirs, groaning slightly. The golden armor fades away, taking the maul with it, and his old plate is once again visible, in perfect condition. The death knight stands, eyes blinking. He looks at everyone. "I'm glad that's over. Kolvik isn't dead, but he won't be coming back for awhile. Now, I have something I must do. Jaden won't be here for awhile, so I'll be leaving my wife in charge. Valor, she'll be continuing your training. Now, everyone, meet my wife, Bris." A short, brown-haired woman walks out from a side tunnel, scratching the back of her head and yawning. Her face is covered in freckles, and even her emerald eyes are flecked with brown and gold. A pair of knives are strapped to her waist, near a small cylinder that whirrs and sparks. Swinging from her belt are red sticks of dynamite. Over tight leather armor is a tabard, depicting a red dog on a yellow background. She looks at everyone tiredly, like she just woke up. "Alrighty then Gar, I'll k..k..keep an eye on this lot for awhile. Which one of ya is Valor again?" Gareth points at Shiro's young student and waves his hand at the ice gate. It shifts somehow, and you can see a new realm through it. "If anyone needs me," he says, "I'll be in Hell." With that, he steps through the gate, and it shuts behind him.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 01:21 PM	Rynce takes in the newcomer, looking her up and down. He focuses on the dynamite and the sparking cylinder before speaking. "Fire and ice...how quaint. So tell me...what made you marry such a creature?"
Lord_Gareth 12-17-06, 02:05 PM	"I've asked myself that several times, actually. I think it's somewhere along the lines of that he's a decent guy, when you get down to it. I knew him as a kid too. Give him a half-decent chance in your mind, and you might figure it out too. Alright you lot, I wanna see some bloodshed. We're not running a loitering bar here." She walks over to Jaden's desk and checks the sign-in books, flipping the pages quickly. She looks back up. "You pickin' out a match, or am I assigning someone?"
Foxhengeyokai 12-17-06, 02:27 PM	Valor hangs his head in resignment. "I never get a normal swordsman to train me. My teachers are always nuts, and their training methods are even crazier, be it forcing me to run naked except for a terribly heavy turtle shell through bamboo forests or trying to bash my head in with a giant hammer. You know, I've served the "little" gods for a while now, and I would be led to think only that they have a twisted sense of humor, for goodness sakes, I'll bet this woman hurls explosive sticks, magic spells, and creates gates to the far realm." Valor just sighs, and shakes his head. "Well," Valor begins. "I may as well put on my holy man face and get this done with." He walks right up to bris, and waves, saying "Hello miss, I am Valor killraven, paladin and servant of the little gods. Apparently, your husband wishes you to take over my training." Valor looks at her pleadingly, his bright blue eyes sparkling. "Please don't blow me up or hurl me into the far realm, please?"
Lord_Gareth 12-17-06, 02:45 PM	"Are you touched in the head kid? I couldn't lift you, let alone hurl you anywhere. Now, Gary wanted me to train ya, wasn't specific as to how. So, whaddya need to learn? And be quick about it, I need to have some coffee." She looks at all the others again, flicking her eyes to the book after each one.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 04:41 PM	Rynce walks his mount toward Bris and dismounts, clanking over to her side. He peers at the register before her, and finally turns to face her. "So. What happens now?"
Foxhengeyokai 12-17-06, 05:05 PM	Valor looks stunned and eyes the woman carefully. With one eyebrow high on his forehead, he asks. "So you aren't able to do things that are rediculous, like tearing portals open, beating up gods, crafting spells of obscene might, making millenia old dragons bow to you, hurling lead spheres weighing well over a thousand pounds, infuse the surrounding air with pure chaos, run up walls then backflip over a storm giant, while playing a violin and cutting the giant in half with one blow, or killing archfiends with only a holy word spell?" Valor falls to his knees, hands clasped as if in prayer. "Oh thank the gods, somebody not insane. You have no idea how much I miss the days when it was just me, bob, george, and al. Good times you know, just had to worry about the occasional goblins, kobolds and big spiders." Valor stands up. Smiling he asks "The issue as I see it isn't so much as what do I want to learn, but it is more "what can you teach me?"
Lord_Gareth 12-17-06, 05:19 PM	Bris looks at Shiro with wonder. "Um, dude, I think your protege is on the verge of insanity. A swift kick might fix it, if you're so inclined." She turns back towards Valor. "Alright kid, what I can teach you. Well, I'm a fair swordsman, but my specialty is knives. I'm a good juggler and a great hurler, and this dynamite doesn't build itself either. I can also teach you in the arts of agility and stealth, but judging on all the plate you're wearing, I think you're content with being a tin can. Take your pick."
Foxhengeyokai 12-17-06, 06:08 PM	Shiro just smiles. In his usual silky smooth voice, he says "I think he's realized that in this world and others, there are people who have trained to do things that are absurd. Much like myself, and to be fair, yes I did have him run nude through a bamboo forest with an iron turtle shell strapped across his back. In my defense, it was endurance and agility training, which he passed quite well I might add. Unfortunetly, there came a point where he could no longer learn anything I had left to teach him. He lacks the natural speed and agility to learn the more advanced arts, and lacks the focus to use my spells." Shiro shrugs and continues. "However, he shows great promise in the use of the desert wind style of combat, focusing as he does on those twin black knives of his." Shiro pauses. "You know, I never asked where he learned that, or where he got those knives. That his hardly important. I suggest that-" Shiro smiles broadly and bows slightly, heading off to meet up with gareth. As soon as he reaches the gate, he gives all of you one last look, then leaps through the gate. Valor looks as if somebody had just told him he was actually a woman. ((Very confused.)) "I have no clue why he has that look, but the last time I've seen it, he was getting married..." Valor shakes his head, and looks back at bris. "Miss, would you mind teaching me a few techniques involving throwing weapons?"
Lord_Gareth 12-17-06, 06:18 PM	"Well, while we wait for this lot to get a fight goin', sure. Alright, we'll need a dummy." She snaps her fingers, and an ogre appears in the arena center. "Not that kind of dummy! Gods damn, stuipid arena spells. You'd think the wizards could have done a better job. Let's try this again." Instead of snapping her fingers, she wiggles her nose in a peculiar fashion (think Bewitched), and a goblin replaces the ogre. Bris growls in frustration, a full-throated growl that sounds like a dog. She crosses her eyes, and a group of straw target dummies appears. "Here we are! Alright kid, before we start, I need you to look for the armory on the Arena Map you got when you signed in. Go there and get some dynamite, some knives, and some swords. Short, long, great, bastard, doesn't matter, just get some swords." ((Gareth actually Gated to another forum, where he'll be appearing. Go to the Map of the Planes and check in at the Battle Royale of Sorcen's Baator ooc thread. I'll be putting him in that Arena soon.))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-17-06, 09:24 PM	Lafali reenters the arena, clearly lost. "Dose anyone know where that Shiro went too? I was going to ask him if he would like to visit my garden before I opened it up to everone else." A soft silver mist froms near lafali as cysel appear, cleary amused. "Master Lafali, did you put Slugger in the bath house?" "Yes, I needed a place to put him and that was the only place where he would fit. Why do you ask?" With a fit of laughter cysel doubles over. When he can finaly stand back up he is still laughting. "Because I offered Lothar the bedroom over it and....... well what do you think happen when he saw slugger?" "Ahh, I see your point. I guess I'll have to move slugger then. Guess I'll have to see Shiro and Gareth later. Could you stay here till one of them comes back and ask them when it would be a good time for me to see them." Lafali turns to walk out of the arena, as a soft golden mist forms around him he fades away.
Wall 12-17-06, 09:40 PM	Meanwhile, Lothar stands with his back to a wall, face to... erm, face with Slugger. "...How do I get myself into these things?" ((Can't wait 'til you open Lafali's garden, Nailo!))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-17-06, 09:54 PM	As a soft golden mist froms in the bath house, Slugger (Umm what do i use to describe a 30ft acid breathing slug moving as fast as he can toward lafali) glides over to lafali as he appears, knocking him over aswell as destorying what little remains of the bathhouse. "Blast it, get off of me slugger." lothar can see lafali arms flairing as he is underneath slugger. As he finaly gets out, lafali breastplate is now destoryed (again, thats 2 time this week.), his kimono is in ruins (again 2nd time this week). "I think I'll take you down to the river. I dont think lothar would last long with you around." He snaps his fingers as slugger disappears. "Now that that is done with." He turn around and looks at lothar for the first time. 'I see now why Ka-Ki choise you, you have spirit. Now let see about getting you settle down." ((Will finish this in Lafali Spirital Garden, which will be in the Oriental Adventures threads in a hour or so, but will not be done till later this week))
cog_n_taz 12-17-06, 10:11 PM	A shadowy apparition appears by Valor, looking somewhat like him, but somehow insubstantial. "Your training shall wait, Valor Killraven, the Dreamer wishes to do battle with you..." ((GN, I`m still waiting for that kirby character:)))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-17-06, 10:20 PM	((he is in my guardian atm, which is about to open and the place is in an uproar because lafali wants everthing to be perfect, and you try telling him otherwise))
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 10:27 PM	Rynce looks up at the apparition. "The Dreamer? I know one of that name...are you her? Are you the Lady of Dreams?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-17-06, 10:38 PM	((Its open, not as much of a story as I would like but will work on it as it grows.))
Foxhengeyokai 12-18-06, 06:49 PM	Valor turns to the shadow and stares it in what ever passes for eyes. "Who are you. what are you, why are you bothering me, and why don't sexy women ever ask for my presence? I swear, if it's not ghostly fools from the gods know which plane of existance, it's ice coated sinners loaded with guilt and power, or thousand year old warrior women who go insane during training." Valor just sighs. "I don't know what to do anymore. I mean, I try to be reasonable, I really do. I avoid jumping of of walls, cutting stuff in halves, hurling meteors, stopping time and then hurling delayed meteors. or anything like that." Valor sits down, plate mail clanking loudly, and buries his face in his hands. "Look at me." He says, "Here I am a holy warrior devoted to the gods. That's great and all, I can fight and channel a few spells from them, and have been blessed with immuntiy to diseases, but what does that do for me in a fight? I can't speed myself to the point where everything slows, I can't open massive gates to summon any enemy I want and just kill him, I can't raise the dead, I can't hurl massive spheres, I can't change my shape whenever I want into a massive deadly bear and still cast spells of maniacal power." Valor sobs. "What can I do? I can charge at my enemy, on a horse I can summon magically, or I can use a holy sword. I can channel healing into my hands, and burn the undead with it, and I can smite evil creatures. Sure, I can do all of that, but could a powerful servant of the gods not do the same? By the seven shining layers of celestia, couldn't a priest do it even better? I mean for the love of the gods, they can open gates to summon the strongest of celestials to join in combat! MOre than that, they can raise the dead, have powerful spells readied at all times, heal horrible injuries, part seas, turn the earth to mud, and don't even get me started on the clerics of true might. You know, the ones that can summon or create living walls, hurl balls of pure destruction, channel the paragon's of celestials, destroy undead with only their mere presence, and generally be the greatest things since sliced bread?" Valor bawls "And don't you dare get me started on that kobold I once knew, he managed to become so powerful that he became a god, just by virtue of the stuff he learned and did, even if I think he broke a rule of the universe or two. Gah... I'm so subpar! I mean, there are people who can hurl balls of lead capable of leveling mountains with ease, and felling massive dragons. There are lightly armored desert folks that can attack so rapidly with their twin blades that it's almost impossible to deal with, archers that can hit your vitals from a hundred feet away, armorless swordsmen that can kill you just by drawing their blades, and then there are the people who get lost in rages or frenzies as they call them. I've seen them charge through lava, cut a dragon in half, then pound on boulders." Valor sniffles. "And look at me, what can I do?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-18-06, 07:00 PM	Cysel walks over to Valor, "You are a Paladin, that what you are. You uphold truth and jusatice, banish back the everlasting darkness," a sly smile crosses his face, "and you still find the time to shine your armor." "It is true about what your said, you cant slew dragons with magic, but I can't ether. You keep on working one what you can do, and someday you will find what you can truly do. Ohh do you know when shiro will be back, my master told me to stay here till i see ether him or gareth."
Foxhengeyokai 12-18-06, 07:02 PM	Valor just sobs.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-18-06, 07:09 PM	Cysel lifts valor and forces him to stand up, "Now see here, I once new a paladin who could sley a dragon with one might blow. True he became an elven valor ((evlen deity pantheon)), but that becide the point. He did it before he became a Valor. So what id you cant cast more powerful spells, you have divine grace. And you can destory undead, just not as easly as a cleric can of your ability." The katana forms in his hand, "When I first meet lafali, I couldnt even from a tanto with this. It took years for me to master these beads. And I do mean years. And it will be a long time before i can do what lafali can do in the rilynnathem style of combat. But I keep at it and train as much as i can. I know you can do great things or shiro wouldn't even bother teaching you."
Lord_Gareth 12-18-06, 08:26 PM	"Kid, you keep sobbing like that, and I'm going to kick you in the head so hard, it'll do a 180 twist. Jaden's a bitter bastard, but you know what she is? A paladin, just like you. And don't get me started on Gareth. What you, kid, need is to be very good at what you do."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-18-06, 08:33 PM	"You sould listen to this lady if you dont listen to me" Cysel turns toward Bris and bows deeply before her, "My master wish me to deliver a message to Lord Gareth. Do you know when he will be back?"
Foxhengeyokai 12-18-06, 08:49 PM	Valor looks up at bris, smiling grandly. "Good at what I do eh? Very well then, I shall be the best holy charging, smiting, horseriding, aura having, disease immune, sword and sheild wielding, evil detecting, wound curing, undead turning, holy sword wielding user of relatively weak spells there is!" Valor looks as if he had just said something stupid and shakes his head. "Nah, I'll just turn in my armor and learn how to weave baskets underwater. I hear it grants all manner of powers. Or maybe I'll just stop working out and become a wizard..."
Lord_Gareth 12-18-06, 09:52 PM	With lightning speed, Bris whips her boot into Valor's head, causing a sickening crunch. "Kid, if I have to train you like SI:7 trained me, I will. Now, get up, quit moping, and pay attention." She turns to Cysel. "I'm allowed to make decisions for Gareth in his absence. Ask away."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-18-06, 10:04 PM	"My master wish to open a portal here to his palace, but he dosnt want to barge into someone house. Well maybe portal is to mcuh." Cysel pulls an old parchment out of the folds of his kimono. "Anyone reading this will travel to the front gate of my masters palace. Would it be ok to leave it here?"
Foxhengeyokai 12-18-06, 10:12 PM	Valor hurtles through the air before crashing into the nearest wall with a loud THUD. "See? If I had some kind of persistant magic this wouldn't be a problem, but no... I have to smite my enemies. Fine then, this is how it will be from now on. I vow to learn the most efficient ways to smite. I will be the sultan of smite, the administrator of avenging, the culmination of clubbing, the dictator of discipline, the parajha of punishment. Heck, I'll be the brute of bludgeoning!" Valor frowns and says "Or maybe I'll just pay attention to the angry kicking woman."
cog_n_taz 12-19-06, 08:16 AM	((okay, valor's complaints now were on par with "guys, I think I just failed a spot check" )) Rynce hears a voice in his mind: " so...you have heard of the lady of dreams? Well, I am not her, nor my master." To valor it says: "my master grows impatient, Valor Killraven, it is unwise to keep him waiting... come now, to the arena, the Dreamer awaits."
Foxhengeyokai 12-19-06, 02:44 PM	((What, you'd think that a paladin could realize he can't do nearly as much as members of other professions (classes) besides, I blame OOTS for it.)) Valor whips around and says, "What does this master of your want? For that matter, why should I care, unless your master is either a beautiful woman, or a powerful agent of good? It doesn't matter, I can stay here and get kicked in the head, or follow you and probably have to fight for my life... I'll follow you!"
LivingShadow 12-19-06, 07:02 PM	"...banish back the everlasting darkness," "Be glad I didn't take offence of that." "And Valor you can stop whining now. I suggest meditation to focus your thoughts."
Foxhengeyokai 12-19-06, 07:05 PM	Valor frowns "I'm not complaining, and meditation would be fine."
LivingShadow 12-19-06, 07:11 PM	"Try meditating on your weapon, or possibly nothing at all."
Foxhengeyokai 12-19-06, 07:18 PM	Valor sighs "Ugh, not more meditation on my weapon, teacher had me doing that for 2 months and all that happened was I realized it needed to get more weight added to the hilt of it. But, if it will make me more able to hurl massive lead spheres and cast spells to bend reality to my whim, why not?" Valor unsheaths his blade, slowly pulling it free. He then sits down, places it across his lap, and closes his eyes, apparently in deep concentration. A few minutes later, "ZZZzzzz" Can be heard from him...
Lord_Gareth 12-19-06, 07:25 PM	And then, Valor is hauled up by a rough jerk, Bris dragging him like a rag doll. "Alright Kid, looks like we do this the extremely hard way. If you want to do insane crap, you need to learn the basics first. Now, don't struggle or I knock your punk ass out." Within minutes, Bris has dragged Valor outside the Arena borders, into the forest nearby.
LivingShadow 12-19-06, 07:28 PM	Vicros follows and watches what happens.
Foxhengeyokai 12-19-06, 07:29 PM	Valor doesn't struggle, and waits for the bummpy ride to end. Once they both arrive in the forest, he stands up, shakes himself off and says "Allright, I've had enough fooling around with you. Gareth has claimed you as his wife, yet you claim to have no exceptional abilities. I'm no zealous fool, nor am I particularly dense. Who, and what are you really?" Valor steps back, arms crossed and waiting for a response.
Lord_Gareth 12-19-06, 07:39 PM	"Brisinaria Shadestalker, master assasin, juggler, spymaster, gentlewoman thief, devoted wife, Swordmaster, and undisputed champion eight years in a row for the Pie Eating Contest." She smiles, and you see that her canines are literal fangs, "Of course, I also have this nasty 'werewolf' problem. Gareth told me to get you grounded in the basics, before all the 'insane stuff', as you so elegantly put it, begins. I'm going to run you raw, kid, and you're going to grind every last second of that training into your body and soul until it becomes as inseperable to you as your own heart. You'll do this, you'll complain about it the whole way, you'll scream in pain, terror, and various other emotions, and afterwards, you'll thank me. Now, quit wallowing in your angst and make yourself a shelter. Adventuring 101; weatherproof shelters."
LivingShadow 12-19-06, 07:43 PM	"I can test it if you want."
Foxhengeyokai 12-19-06, 08:05 PM	Valor laughs, his voice ringing out amongst the hills. "Well that took far too long. I knew you were more than you had originally said, and I couldn't just let it go. Now that I know more of you, I have no reason to act foolish, or act "angsty" as you so elegantly put it. Please, I'm no begginer, at least not a rank amatuer, nor am I a fool with no skill. Honestly, I'm suprised that you had decided to play along with my act, at least until you decided to take me out here and reveal yourself for what you are." Valor smooths out his hair, picking a small branch from it, and hurls it to the ground disdainfully. "Listen brisinaria, I'm not here to fool around with the weather, nor am I here to play house. I'm here for but one purpose. I am here, on this world, this plane of existance, this life, to serve the gods and to smite evil. You... YOu don't reek of evil, quite unlike most of your fanged brethren, nor are you anyone I would toy with. But I will say this," Valor clenches his fists, his knuckles cracking. "Do not underestimate me. I saw you fight against that ghoul."
Lord_Gareth 12-19-06, 08:10 PM	"I not only underestimated my opponent, I lost my temper. I'm not from this world, and I'd never encountered one of his kind before. I won't make that mistake again. So, if you want to boast, kid, let's see what you got. It'll save me some time anyway." Without a word of warning beyond that, a pair of lit dynamite sticks whip through the air at Valor, exploding just in front of his current position. Steel balls packed into the explosives rip through the air in a shrapnel hail, and as the dust clears, Brisinaria is gone.
Foxhengeyokai 12-19-06, 08:39 PM	As the dust settles, valor picks himself up out of the small crater created by the explosion. Picking a few bits of shrapnel out of his hair, and frowning due to the cut on his cheek, he quickly moves to stand behind a tree. "Crazy woman with exploding sticks, figures she wouldn't be- oh crap." Valor ducks down, making sure his opponent isn't in the branches above him. Silently pulling a small pair of daggers from within his armor, valor frowns and undoes the straps, taking his armor off silently. "Cursed woman, taking me to a place where she has the advantage, very well, let's see what she can do against one who knows a bit about forest tacitics as well. Lady of the forests and guardian of the hunters, bless me with your grace and silence in forestry" Valor's skin and clothes quickly take on the appearance of bark. Valor closes his eyes, letting the swaying branches and the sound of wind be his entire world, allowing his entire body to relax. In a flash, he hurls a black bladed dagger towards a strange sound.
Frylord 12-19-06, 08:47 PM	On a tree branch, in the forest, a short, cloaked figure snickers quietly, then silently talks to itself. 'So, Valor Killraven is still around. Quite a suprise. New weapons too? I might just have my hands full.' The figure studies his unnumberable daggers. ((OOC: I'm back! Anyone remember Agog? He just got a personality change.))
Wall 12-19-06, 10:39 PM	((I dunno if the arena is still open for combat, but I think a new contender will have to show up for when it is...)) Tall, broad-shouldered, and tan, Can Adem strides boldly into the arena lobby. He seems to have a disposition towards white; his tunic, pants, boots, coat, and the light leather armor he wears all seem to shine in the light. Perhaps it's a fashion statement? Or maybe it's symbolic? Can carries no weapon, at least not visibly. A bandolier is strapped across his chest, visible under his coat. Another bandolier is strapped like a belt around his waist. Both, of course, are white. Can is human; clean shaven, hair cut short, and upright-looking. He carries himself boldly, but humbly; not to be messed with, but certainly does not seem arrogant. Can looks around the lobby, finally moving up to the desk. He speaks confidently. "I am here to prove myself." ((A good entrance, I think. Not particularly dramatic, but that should change soon...))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-19-06, 10:59 PM	Cysel bows before the newcomer, "Welcome to the Arena, If you would wait a few I would be up for a challange."
Wall 12-19-06, 11:00 PM	Can bows in return. "I would be most honored, Sir..." Can waits the fellow to respond with his name.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-19-06, 11:04 PM	"Ohh, sorry about that. Cysel is my name. Student to the Rilynnathem school of combat."
Wall 12-19-06, 11:09 PM	"It is perfectly alright. I am Can Adem, Knight of the Many Suns. It is a pleasure to meet you, Cycel, and I am ready for combat whenever you are."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-19-06, 11:13 PM	"Very well, lets begin" Cysel pulls out a small black pouch. Pulling out 10 gold pieces he puts them on the table and then heads toward the arena.
Wall 12-19-06, 11:14 PM	Can pulls some coins out from inside his coat, places them on the table, and silently follows Cycel.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-19-06, 11:20 PM	"I think I shall use some of lafali techniques, Fire Blossems" as petals of fire blossems swirls around him. "Hope you dont mind me starting the match?"
Wall 12-19-06, 11:22 PM	Can readies himself. "I prefer to begin duels with proper formalities, but if you insist, then I will follow suit." Can's stance is stable, but his fingers twitch, ready.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-19-06, 11:26 PM	"Very well," as the blossems fades away, "I Cysel Nalio, challage you to a knockout duel." He kneels before you and then stands ready, his right hand held before him. His prayer beads glowing softly.
Wall 12-19-06, 11:30 PM	Pleased, Can responds. "I, Can Adems, accept your challenge and its terms." Can returns to his fighting stance, and just for a moment, it seems like a spark of light flew around one of his hands. "I am ready when you are." ((Repetitive fellow, ain't he?))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-19-06, 11:41 PM	As the prayer beards start to pulse, "Fire Blossem". As the fire blossems start to swirls around cysel again. "I think I will also use my bow." As his beads from into an angelic bow. He draws back the sting and release it, as an arrow of light speeds toward Can.
Wall 12-19-06, 11:47 PM	Can steps calmly to the left, moving as little as possible. The arrow of light speeds past him, and he returns to his previous position. Then, quick as lightning, Can reaches into his coat and pulls out a black sphere about the size of his fist. A small string trails off of the sphere... a string that is now lit and burning. All in one motion, the sphere flies from out of his coat, lights, and speeds towards Cycel. ((Old-style bomb, if you hadn't guessed.))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-19-06, 11:51 PM	As the sphere flys toward cysel he releases another arrow to stirke the bomb. "If thats the best you have, this will be over quickly." He then shoots a volley of those light arrows at Can. Each one targeting a diffent part of his body.
Wall 12-20-06, 12:01 AM	Can's eyes narrow. "I would never begin a fight with my best. It would be quite a waste." He focuses on the arrows... he realizes he can't dodge them all, so he goes for the least damage. Swiveling his body to the right, the arrows miss his vitals- most just fly right past. Two however, find marks: one his shoulder, the other his upper leg. As the arrows of light pierce his flesh, he barely flinches, although the pain is quite intense. He has had worse experiences, however. "I am not one for insulting banter, but I certainly hope that this is not the best that you can do." Can concentrates intensly for a moment, as though he is about to do or say something important... but nothing happens. At first. Slowly, white energy begins to crackle around his body- up his arms, around his head, circulating around him. "Let us get started." ((Last post tonight, I'm afraid.))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-20-06, 12:07 AM	"Very well, if you want me to get serious." Cysel snaps his fingers, as each of the arrows of light blows up. (thing of an area of effect inflict light wounds) "Even if you dodge all of my arrows, they can still harm you." (See you later then))
Frylord 12-20-06, 12:24 AM	Well, if Valor isn't doing anything, I'll go check out the arena. There might be someone I can train with. As Agog mumbles an arcane phrase, he pops out of existence. Then, he pops back into existence in the Arena lobby. He walks into the arena, and the people there can see what he looks like. He had pure white scales, with cold emerald green eyes. He wore a large tattered brown overcoat, with scabbards for a golden rapier and a strange dagger. Upon seeing the fighters, this kobold grinned and watched the battle.
Foxhengeyokai 12-20-06, 04:54 PM	OOC :Bump ))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-20-06, 05:01 PM	((cant realy post anything right now, lafali is in Baator, cysel is fighting Can, and scarlet/Ka-ki/and Kirb is in lafali gaurden))
Wall 12-20-06, 07:43 PM	Can stumbles back as the explosions rock his body. But with that same stern expression he's been exhibiting since you met him, he stabilizes. And before your very eyes, the wounds begin to heal. Without a word, Can digs into his coat with the same lightning quickness; this time, two of the explosives are lit and in his hands. He pauses for a split second- you can see the crackling energy around his body channel up his arms and into the bombs. And a split-second later, the bombs are speeding through the air towards Cycel. ((Same bombs, bigger explosion; this time with some extra "BAM!" courtesy of the Positive Energy Plane. And don't worry, Can isn't as invincible as he seems; he goes through cycles.))
Frylord 12-20-06, 08:21 PM	This... person could become a worthy adversary.. It's been so long since I fought someone who was around my power. Either they are the embodiement of an emotion, or (in the case of that town I attacked) to weak to even have fun fighting them. Agog laughs and leans against the Arena's walls, continuing to watch the bout.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-20-06, 10:25 PM	(hes an The Light Enforcer isnt he?) "Fire Blossem Strike" cysel points his left hand at the two bombs, sending the blossem of fire streaking toward them. "Arrow of Sunburst", cysel pulls pack the bowstring as a very bright arrow forms. Aiming it above Can head he releases it.
Frylord 12-20-06, 11:32 PM	Agog chuckles. He concentrates, formerly folded draconic wings unfold, and Agog takes to the air to watch the match more accurately. "A fine match," Agog mutters. "And I take the victor!" ((OOC: Check about 40 pages earlier. You'll notice I gained wings then.) Agog goes over tactics in his mind while flying hapzardly. (OOC: Heh, I gave him a flaw. Can't fly very well.)
Wall 12-21-06, 06:59 PM	((...yeah, he's the Light Enforcer, but with a few added abilities...)) The fire blossoms impact the bombs, detonating them both. As is usual for bombs, theri activation is accompanied by a massive explosion, and a very loud "Bang!" This time however, the the bombs flash with the light of small suns, and burst into bright, crackling white energy that expands farther than the usual explosions. With the flash, Can averts his eyes, unaware of the arrows of light that Cycel released.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-21-06, 07:12 PM	((only 1 arrow, a better arrow but only 1. he still hasnt master the bow from)) As the flash expands outword, slightly blinding cysel, the arrrow of sunlight reachs it target. A few metors above Can head it explodes in blinding light (much like you bombs truthfuly).
Wall 12-21-06, 07:21 PM	Can squints, shielding his eyes from the blinding light above him. But his attention turns quickly back to Cycel. "I do not normally like doing this," he says, his voice emotionless. "But it seems I need to." The next thing you know, the Can standing across the arena is nothing but a flickering after-image, crackling with white energy. Not even a split second passes, and Can is right in front of Cycel, a pair of daggers in hand, ready to unleash a flurry of lightning-fast strikes. ((Your choice as to whether he gets in some hits.)) ((Hope your still enjoying this, Frylord!))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-21-06, 07:34 PM	(umm, you stole my move :ahem:) As Can daggers hit cysel multiple times, cutting deeply into his body. As the blood from his wounds start to ooze out, cysel eyes starts to glow with a red glint. He flickers for a moment, appearig above the arena, no longer equipt with his bow, but with katana he used in the fight with John. "Dragon Arc", as he slashs at the arena in genarel. As many arcs of blue energy (remember not electric but demonic energy) strikes the arena. Though he is trying to ignore it, the many cuts are making it hard to keep the barrage goining. ((I do hope whoever is reading this including Flylord is likeing this))
Wall 12-21-06, 07:43 PM	((Did I? Sorry!)) Can's expression remains unchanging, and his pose doesn't alter much either. However, he is most definantly moving. After images trailing behind him, Can seems to shift between the arcs of energy. It is as though he is teleporting, although the occaisonally visible blur indicates otherwise. Suddenly, the flickering stops; no more after images, nor any of that crackling energy that had surrounded Can for the previous rounds of combat. Can seems to have reverted back to his normal state; and indeed he has. Unfortuantly, he reverts directly in the path of an arc of energy... ((Oh, yeah, I just had to build in a time limit on that ability.))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-21-06, 07:52 PM	((i knew if i targetd you it would be easyer to dodge, but i'm just blasting away at the arena. Now for the down side of that strategy)) As cysel brings up his sword (his in a barbarian type rage, so he will keep attacking till he or you drop, sorry), you can see that his eyes are no longer blue, but a bright red. "Blood Fang", the blood from his wounds starts to gather above tip of his blade. He starts to pulse as he incress the amount of Ki he is using.
Wall 12-21-06, 07:57 PM	((So what happens to Can when the arc of energy he stopped in front of hits him?))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-21-06, 08:00 PM	((Umm, why you asking me. I just use the attack, I'll let you decide what damage you take.))
Wall 12-21-06, 08:08 PM	((Sometimes there are certain effects and whatnot... I dunno, maybe it causes cancer or something!)) Can stands in place, staring up at the arc of energy with the same stern expression he's worn the whole fight. It seems like time slows down for only a moment; he hasn't enough time to react, but certainly knows whats coming. The blue energy connects with both Can and the ground below and in front of him, simultainiously. It is like being mauled by a raging dire bear- a dire bear made of burning pain! Can, along with the dirt in front of him, is blown off of his feet. He tucks his arms in to his sides to reduce the impact as he hits the ground, skidding several feet on his side. Can coughs, wiping some blood from his mouth. Then he looks up, straight at Cycel. Unfortunantly, his legs don't seem capable of moving at the moment...
Gaelro_Nailo 12-21-06, 08:21 PM	((Ok here to down side)) As the Ki around his finaly reachs it peek, something bad happed. All of the wounds that Cysel has ever gotten opens up at once. With the extra amount of blood forming into the Blood Fang all at once, causing it to releash. A beams of bloodred energy streaks toward the sky. The force of the beam send cysel head first into the arena floor. When the dust settles you see a small crater where he landed. ((Do you look into it?))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-21-06, 08:51 PM	((I know that "Something bad happens" is a bit lame. But i dint want to go into details. Just knowing that all his wounds he ever had openning at once can give you an idea what just happened. And theres nothen bad in the crater))
Wall 12-21-06, 09:08 PM	((Hey, it's all right. We all have our moments of laziness or whatever.)) Can slowly rises to his feet, clutching his shoulder in pain. A small stream of blood trickles down his lip. He limps over to the crater, and, against his better judgement, looks in.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-21-06, 09:29 PM	As Can looks into the mist (silver for further refences), he can cleary see cysel has fallen alseep. Though he is covered in blood, there dosn't seem to be any wounds upon him. But what catchs your eyes is the his blade. Or I sould say what is left of his blade, you can see the shards of it scattered around the crater. After a moment you can see that the mist is being fromed from the shards, and not the sleeping daiyoukai.
Frylord 12-22-06, 01:01 PM	(OOC: Ah crap... I knew this would happen. I'm trying to RP this, a SWRPG game, and a true D&D game... Sorry, but since you guys post so fast, it's hardest to keep up with you... Sorry..)
Wall 12-22-06, 03:53 PM	((Hey, no problem Frylord.)) Can watches Cycel and the shards, waiting for something to happen.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-22-06, 05:26 PM	As the mist raises above the crater, Can starts to feel the effects of it. Within a few seconds you feel as if you havnt sleeped for days. The shards starts to dissolve as more mist is formed.
Wall 12-24-06, 09:00 PM	Can stumbles and falls to one knee, struggling to keep his eyes open. His vision blurs in and out. He tries to keep focused, but his thoughts become disparate, and he is barely able to concentrate. Finally, Can falls face-first into the dirt. ((I'm assuming that this is going somewhere, Gaelro_Nailo.))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-24-06, 09:24 PM	((You sure, I always liked my naps in battle. But if you want.)) As the last of the shards disolve, a surge of energy spreads outwords. At both Can and Cysel feels there strenghts returning. As cysel stands back up he frantically searchs for his prayer beads. After not finding any remain of them he looks at you and shrugs. "Well, I think Lafali will be upset. But I don't have any other choice. Soul Release" Dragonic markings appears across his body, as a silver bastard sword materialized before him. "This is my soulsword, [I]Koravel]. Its just like Lafali swords, they grow in power as the person grows." He picks up koravel and takes a defensive stance. "Shall we finish this then?"
Wall 12-24-06, 09:27 PM	Can pulls himself to his feet, staring at Cycel with that exact same expression that he's had this whole time. He takes a soft stance, pulling the daggers from his coat again. "If you are ready," Can responds. A burst of crackling white energy roars to life around his body, and he rushes Cycel.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-24-06, 09:42 PM	He rushs at Can with the same speed that can is using, as he brings koravel to strike at Can. First aiming for his left arm, then his right leg, then turning around to bring the blade down upon his left shoulder. Each time the blade strikes at can it starts to glow with a soft light.
cog_n_taz 12-29-06, 08:16 PM	A slight breeze moves through the arena, carrying with it little shards of ice and a sound...soon you realize it it music, a mourning, infinitely sad tune. A tinkling of glass, and then, you see it-- a figure, clad in icy white robes, a body carved of perfectly smooth glass. A violin in hand, and a glass rapier in a sheath, tears cover the face and robes. Merithale has acome to the arena. A sad, resigned sigh echoes around the area. "I see the music has brought me here...of all the places, I suppose I have no choice. Well then, who here will do battle with me? I do not wish to, but the music...and this sword, demand it." ((originally a simple, humble bump, much needed I think. So, who wants some?))
Wall 12-29-06, 09:39 PM	((Yeah, sorry about that. Not sure where to go with the fight, though.)) Cycel's blade strikes only after-images, Can's speed inceasing with every second passed. Suddenly he seems to be surrounding Cycel, a blurry cyclone of white, energy crackling and shooting off in every direction. Finally, he strikes. Can's daggers are like lightning, lashing at Cycel thrice a second. But just as it started, the whirl of blades stops; Can is across the field from Cycel, focusing the positive energy through his body. The area around Can suddenly seems vibrant: colors seem brighter, sounds richer, smells more odiferous. Can lets out a yell and the vibrance visibly recedes into his body, crackling and glowing like a miniature star inside him. The star bursts, sending an inferno of blinding white energy in all directions. ((Despite what this post may imply, I want Can to lose. Just trying to make it climactic. Let Gaelro_Nailo go all out, if need be.))
cog_n_taz 12-29-06, 09:49 PM	((no problem. Wall, you interested in picking a fight with merithale?))
Wall 12-29-06, 09:55 PM	((Sure, just gotta come up with an appropriate character. About what power range is Merithale?))
cog_n_taz 12-29-06, 10:01 PM	((mid-high, I'm not too sure myself, really))
Wall 12-29-06, 10:37 PM	((Right-o, see what I can brew up. Not tonight, though, sorry. Will by tommorrow.))
cog_n_taz 12-29-06, 10:49 PM	((ok:) ))
TheChilliGod 12-29-06, 11:09 PM	((Before I bother with introducing myself, anyone here keen on fight'n a low-mid level?))
jakelslang21 12-29-06, 11:27 PM	((Well it seems my old battle died out with cog. Either or it was not a good one either, i kept messing up. Anyways ill try to use the tips Cog gave me and ill make a new fighter. And cog I did not mean to be like a jerk i was in a hurry and wanted to finish the reply fast so i hoped that remark heals old wounds)) A winged beast almost human with two crimson-black wings that have a minor reflection when moved enters the lobby. He wears a black cloak of what seems like obsidian that conceals his muscular body. the creature has a faint smell of brimstone as he walks by all of you. He takes out 10 charred gold peices that land with a crackle as they fall onto the table. He traces with his fingertips onto the waver his name and ranking. The words look like burnt smears across the paper as he leans over to watch some of the lesser fights. ((I hope i did not overdo it or not do enough i tried to make it really descriptive and stuff...... Anyways anyone who posts a reply just be the critique. Ill be waiting))
TheChilliGod 12-29-06, 11:43 PM	((Argh, fak it.)) Sauntering in respectfully behind that humanlike bird comes an orc. His greyed green skin is dashed here and there from many battle wounds, the most pronounced of which is across his right eye, which seems to be ruined beyond any hope of sight. A large axe can be seen sticking out of the orc's shoulder, and anyone looking in from behind can see that it's double-bladed. He looks at what the fellow before him just did, and then counts out (very slowly, having to use both of his hands and his feet) seven moldy old gold coins from a leather pouch and puts them on the table. He then stares blankly at the piece of whatever-the-devil-it-is-you-use-to-write-on-around-here, and then prods the winged fellow roughly. "What you do this?"
jakelslang21 12-29-06, 11:56 PM	The creature looks at the orc with consfusion and responds in a entropic tone "What? What do you meen?" He sais sarcasticcly "If you mean how i write i use magic... hehe." the creature looks like he is trying to take advantage of the orc's gullability and stupidity but he is being stereotype with how most orcs react so do whatever. He burned the paper but he is trying to confuse the orc
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 12:01 AM	((So cruel... And brilliant. Just what I wanted.)) "Oh no! MURK no know magic! How MURK fight if MURK no know magic?"
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 12:07 AM	The creature snickers and lets out a howl of enjoyment and laughter and sais "Hahaha relax i wont use magic on such a strong warrior. Its just not noble. I will however use my weak strikes to take you down." His manipulation and cunning matches that of a succubus. He tries to use the orcs stupidity (again sterotyping) at an advantage.
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 12:11 AM	MURK looks at the creature with a vacant-eyed stare. Oh! Oh wait! There's anger in there! Somewhere! Behind all of that (truthfully) thick skull! "Not funny! MURK no fight cuz MURK no know do thingy with thing!" he says as he makes writing movements with his grubby hands. ((btw, MURK is exactly as stupid as I'm currently playing him.))
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 12:20 AM	The creature stops in dissapointment. "Found out!" races through his mind. he hesitates and tries to fix up his backfired tricks. "Grr look I dont know magic and thats the truth. If however you duel me, you will find out my capabilities.... My name is Ichiata."
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 12:25 AM	MURK shakes Ichiata's hand firmly. Maybe crushing a few fingers or not, it's anyone's guess. "MURK's name is MURK!" MURK says with great enthusiasm, the sad memory of not knowing how to do the "thingy thing with the thing" way past him. In fact, he seems to have forgotten he even needs to write down a thing. "We fight now?"
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 12:31 AM	The creature snickers "Yes we will duel but there are something i must say..... get off my hand. Your crushing it and i dont want to burn you...... yet." He waits for Murk to prep as the rancid smell of brimstone spreads through the lobby.
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 12:35 AM	MURK (whose name is so awesome that it must be spelt in capital letters) hastily withdraws his hand, and inspects it. Regardless of whatever damage it suffered, MURK ignores it and catches a whiff of the brimstone. "MURK didn't know MURK farted! Must had thing bad eaten!" ... "We fight now?"
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 12:39 AM	The creature just stares at MURK with the "What the hell?" gaze and responds slowly "err..... yeeaah lets fight" Ichiata glides out the window and hovers waiting for the orc to blast through the window or whatever
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 12:43 AM	Assuming that there is, in fact, a perfectly serviceable door right next to the window, MURK hops through the window, taking care not to break anything. MURK gets his Orc Double Axe out and shoves it as close to Ichiata's face as possible. "Vek, meet Itchy-atta. Itchy-atta, meet Vek."
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 12:49 AM	The creature tries to kick the axe away with its left foot whilst attempting to come in for a headbutt "Hah! forget weapons lets try to come in this fight using only natural strikes!!" You know what he said has something wrong with it. Something unnatural is stirring in the beast's soul (gonna put my guy's speech in text, make iot eaier to determine and all)
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 12:57 AM	((Should've mentioned that MURK was shoving the blade at Ichiata flat-wise, but whatever.)) MURK accepts the headbutt. It makes a graze on his own forehead which, fortunately, is the most fortified part of his body. "Vek is Natural Stwikes!" MURK sidesteps back and begins to make a defensive maneuver with his axe. The weapon twirls around him with such speed and expertise, it almost looks as though it were flying around him without MURK's manipulation. MURK twirls the weapon above his head, stops it suddenly, then hurls it down at the ground at full-force, creating a visible wave of dust around the motion path of the axe. Onlookers notice MURK's muscles have strangely grown larger than they already were, and the pupil of his left eye (the right one being put-out) has diluted in the fury of pure orcish rage. The rage of Grummsh Himself.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 01:08 AM	The creature stumbles back a few feet almost stunned. His wings start flapping giving off a bright red shimmer, trying to blind MURK with the reflection. he starts to pant and sais in a scary and chaotic tone "Urgh! An Eye of Gruumsh we have here!? Dont get any ideas of putting your spittle in my eyes ok!?"\ While trying to distract MURK with the lights giving off his crimson-black wings he then tries to jab MURK in the right arm, stunning and putting it to sleep (your call if he gets weakened or not).
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 01:14 AM	MURK doesn't seem to slow down with the shining light in his eyes (Blind-Fight), and moves Vek in to parry the jab. The flat of the high end of Vek catches the thrust, and most likely making a satisfying *ring* sound; and the maneuver conveniently puts MURK at a favorable position of an attack. A position which he takes advantage of, making a furious upward slash. And not just one end is hurled up, but MURK carries on the momentum, moving Vek into Ichiata like a great moving windmill.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 01:18 AM	Ichiata turns in shock, gasps then takes the blow. Then a millasecond before impact he bursts into a thick cloud of fire and sulfer. Leaving only a burnt skeleton that does not match the frame of Ichiata. You hear the gasps and pants coming from behind you, He is holding his wounded bodypart as sparks of fire crackle out of the cut. He then charges forth trying to ram into MURK knocking him prone.
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 01:25 AM	Not looking behind him, and probably thinking that the panting was coming from the crowd who must be awed by his skills, "Yay! MURK won! MURK w--" MURK was caught completely unawares by the overrun attempt. Ichiata found more natural resistance than anticipated, but bowled MURK over nonetheless. "B-but! You explodided!" MURK struggles to get back on his feet, using Vek to lean on and leaving MURK open.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 01:32 AM	As MURK stands up Ichiata takes advantage of the situation still trying to overcome the recoil from impact. He pulls his arm back and springs it forth trying to punch MURK in the stomach as momentum picks up he jumps back and opens his palm as a ray of screaming red-orange blasts forth heading for MURK in the stomach. "Now you know what i meant by "natural strikes"! you see any weapon!!!! Ichiata's shout shows he is desperate, he subconciously is losing sanity as he gains power and blah blah blah.... climatic....
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 01:41 AM	MURK accepts the blow to the stomach (except for, well, the silly breastplate MURK has on got in the way) and readies himself for the oncoming ray. Twirling Vek in front of him as a shield, MURK didn't think about avoiding the thing as it flies straight through metal, leather, skin and flesh. MURK grunts in pain without quite understanding where that pain comes from. He smells barbecue somewhere near (which is getting MURK kind of hungry...). At the same time, MURK charges at Ichiata with Vek poised above his head for a massive downward swipe. Rage blinds him to the comparatively subtle changes in Ichiata's voice and power, and all MURK focuses on is that lightly-membraned skull of Ichiata.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 01:49 AM	Ichiata bursts into cinders as the blow hits impact into his head leaving behind another charred skeleton of deformidy. Ichiata is about 12 feet ahead of MURK as he is panting while sparks of fire are splashing out his head. He then lunges forth at MURK with a kick to the stomach and an overhead punch trying to push MURK onto his foot making even more damage onto his abdomen. (Your call if this attack succeeds)
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 01:53 AM	((so... VecnaMURK is here, eh? Sorry Jakel, there are no "old wounds", just me being a busy moron and forgetting the fight. I'd be happy to have Merithale fight you. Also, your skills have improved, a lot.The only stuff I can see now is a little sequencing changes (such as changing "winged beast almost human with two crimson-black wings that have a minor reflection when moved enters the lobby." to "A winged near-human beast enters the lobby. His two crimson-black wings give off minor reflections of those around him when he moves." Also, if this guy is meant to be a serious character (some are not and that's okay, skraal and MURK are two examples.), make him talk like one. At the moment, he doesn't seem the type. Still, absolutely vast improvements, well done and welcome back:) ))
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 01:56 AM	"Your blood is perty..." The blow to the head, MURK takes without a flinch or a budge. The kick, he uses to move himself backward a step, a direction that he was already going anyway, what with the downward swipe putting him off-balance. But MURK felt the burning flesh cry out when the foot impacted. Still not sure what's going on with that stomach! MURK don't recall having any spicy foods recently... Once a safe distance away, Vek is instantly set into motion, once again twirling around MURK faster than should normally be possible. To the left it swings, then the right, then the left, then up, then around, then a full circle... It seems as if an entire dome of whirling blades surrounds the orc, and any attacks against it are either futile or suicidal.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 02:00 AM	((yeah i will work on that, for the character dialogue he is not really serious, But he eventually gets driven mad and becomes serious as he battles strong foes. he just wants to put people at a disadvantage so he can toy with them in combat like MURK was easy to trick but he turned out to be harder than expected so he now uses hellfire to aid him which, drives you mad. I hope that kinda clears things up and i would fight your guy lemme just finish with MURK))
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 02:03 AM	((thought that might be the case with him being none-too-serious, but the description gave me my doubts. In that case, there's even less problems. Go ahead and enjoy the rest of the duel:) ))
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 02:04 AM	Ichiata springs into the air with his scorching blood falling to the ground. He then stays in the air trying to gain control of his twisted thoughts. He flails and twirls in a violent manner. He then finally stops as he looks at the raging blades and waits for fatigue to jump in obn MURK ((hehe MURK i like that name)) ((Wooow..... I used waaaay to many "he" and "then".... my bad im playing the Bully right now so just remember that if my responces sound dumb))
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 02:10 AM	((none of it is dumb, and I didn't notice the problem you mentioned, so you must be getting pretty sharp. Also, the only problem there is "obn" which happens to everyone, not a real problem))
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 02:13 AM	((You never saw anything about MURK (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=6887007&postcount=861) till you see that thread. :) )) MURK, though he may be dim-witted, he knows when someone is waiting. They usually do that a lot when around him (especially when he's caught staring into blankness) and sometimes, so MURK remembers, the best thing to do is stop and say something. So, MURK stops his twirling, and says something. "MURK no can reach you there!" MURK calls as he breathes heavily, though whether from fatigue or adrenaline is anyone's guess.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 02:19 AM	"Ohhhhh. I can come back down? Well then here i come!! Ichiata swoops down with fiery momentum picking up. He seems to be sane now that he is speaking clearly and is not panting like a maniac. As MURK is panting Ichiata takes advantage of the situation aiming for the orcs heart to greatly increase the chances of a heart attack.
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 02:24 AM	It was adrenaline. MURK sidesteps at almost the last minute, and takes the opportunity to swipe at Ichiata with Vek across the whatever-he-can-get-ahold-of. "Thank you!"
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 02:24 AM	((oh my god, I just read that post...someone help me...))
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 02:33 AM	Ichiata turns and in surprise is caught on the ground with no legs. he screams in the most horrific shout ever. You can almost feel the pain he is dealing with. He then bursts into crackling orange cinders leaving another charred skeleton but pitch black and much more damaged than the others. You hear his entropic voice, but its soft and full of agony You take a glance at him and to a surprise he has legs, and his wounds are gone "Ugh........ Please........ more pain....... MORE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! ((ok just so you know he is not some crazy person who loves pain i want you to figure out how he was able to withstand all this damage and how the skeleton was more burned and how he is recovered. I want to see if you get his tricks))
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 02:41 AM	((Better not be something from Fiendish Codex II. Doesn't sound like a Disciple of Mephistopholes, but you mentioned hellfire earlier on, so...)) MURK, oblivious to the hint in Ichiata's voice that he seems to like the pain, strides forward. "Okie Dokie!" Vek is set again into twirling motion, spinning to the left and right in a figure-eight motion, and MURK charges into Ichiata with this frightening move. ((You already know that MURK is an Eye of Gruumsh, but I put in another prestige class...))
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 02:48 AM	As he strikes Ichiata it splits into his chest. He blasts into sulfar and fire with the smell of brimstone trailing him. Again there is crackling fire bursting out of him. He flies into the sky and sweeps down on MURK with flaming force. Ichiata now has a halo of fire coating his body as he jabs MURK in the chest hoping the fire will char him all the more. ((Naah all this is coming right from some notes i made and other things. But yes i did get some inspiration of the hellfire gig from fc2.))
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 02:56 AM	MURK moves Vek aptly to block the jab, setting the flat of the axe to intercept the fist. Finally, with a howl that send shivers down the spines of the weak, MURK lets loose an absolute fury of assaults. When one hits, and Ichiata inevitably bursts into flame, MURK keeps going, already making the charge at the point where he believes Ichiata will reform. Vek spins around dangerously, leaving no direction open to chance. MURK's muscles begin to show strain as he keeps up the effort; they seem to have almost given out the fight.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 03:03 AM	Ichiata actually reappeared in the sky with more crackling fire falling from the sky, The skeleton seems a bit less charred because the blows were weaker than before. Ichiata is starting to hesitate and then a minute later he focuses on MURK and then it rains what seems to be his blood onto MURK. "I will stay here for now...... If you have a ranged weapon this will be fun." Ichiata does not seem to leave his isolated location, just moving the rain on MURK as he runs around ((I gave you some obvious clues, hopefully you get how he recovers?))
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 03:14 AM	((...? My best guess would be a Phoelarch, but the reincarnation process is far too quick for that, and doesn't end in the same result)) MURK's left eye returns to normal, and his muscles finally give way. MURK falls to his knees on the blood-soaked ground, desperate for some sort of solution to this rather off-putting battle. "Wait! 'Ranged Weapon'... MURK bow!" hoping that Ichiata won't do anything while he had his back turned on him, gets out his longbow and his... "NO! Not again! MURK forgot arrows! No fair!" MURK shouts his anguish to the sky, knowing that he's lost this fight, fair and... circle?
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 03:22 AM	Ichiata swoops down to pick up the wounded foe and looks at him with entropy and malice he responds in his normal mellow but chaotic voice "Heh good fight i will admit you were quite a challenge.... To bad we could not continue, I really wanted to absorb you......... But you give in and its not noble to do that to a felled opponent. Well i will be heading back to the lobby. ((i dont know what else to say other than that sooo ill challenge whoever.... ok))
Gaelro_Nailo 12-30-06, 03:23 AM	As Can is gathering up positive eneregy, cysel starts to trace a dragonic rune upon koravel, "Dragon Strike". ((Not the epic spell, just an ability)) Koravel ceases to glow, but instead starts to spark with electricity. He then thrust the blade into the ground, sending the energy though the ground. Right below Can the ground starts to crack as the electricty surges upword if the form of an dragon. ((But I wanted to lose, and i know i just used Sesshoumaru. Watch the movies on CN when they was on.))
TheChilliGod 12-30-06, 03:27 AM	((Yeah, thanks for not absorbing the very essence of my second-favorite PC)) MURK looks around strangely. Then remembers at some point during the battle that he was hungry. "MURK need cafeteria. Food make strong again." He retires back to the lobby, and searches around for a cafeteria of some sort. And, preferably, a cleric. These burn marks are probably not supposed to be there...
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 03:30 AM	I forgot add his technique in my first reply..... Well i will put it down and Chilligod it was my bad on that last responce for being all messed up i was half awake. but now im up. Well here is Ichiata's technique When he is struck he can choose to use an absorbed foe's life force to heal his wounds which were the skeletons left on the ground as each time he burst into cinders. Depending on how burnt they are determines how much recovery he receives. But when he uses this trick he has to give up some sanity which makes him want pain or rush into an assault he cant win against. Also if he is out of usable life force he has to avoid damage because he lacks health. And it is a hobby of him to absorb foes when in combat, not when the battle ends. I hope that helps you on some strategies cuz i dont want to be the cheapshot winner who has an unbeatable tactic
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 07:43 AM	（（Well than, Merithale is ready when you are...with even more brain cells than your previous opponent!)) EDIT: tell ya what, I better give the challenge. With a tinkling of glass, Merithale appears behind Ichiata and speaks in a sad voice. "this sword demands that I do battle with you... please, come to the arena, we have no choice."
Wall 12-30-06, 09:26 AM	Noticing the a streak of crackling energy that, for once, was not emanating from his own form, Can's attention is drawn downward towads the ground beneath him. Time seems to slow down just long enough for Can to realize the situation. The ground bursts open as a draconic form emerges, plowing full-force into Can. Airborne now, Can feels as though he is on fire; scratch that, he feels as though his soul is on fire. Focusing as a much of his gathered energy as he can, Can erupts in a brilliant white light, the fires of a star's heart crashing towards Cycel. Can hits the ground on his back, knocking the wind out of him. He coughs and hacks, struggling to breath and stay alert. But that last strike (both received and given) have taken it out of him; he can't move, and his vision is blurry. Can shuts down the channel to the Positive Energy plane, letting natural healing take over. Barely pulling himself up on his left arm, Can starts to laugh. "I can not tell what has happened, Cycel. I do not if you are still concious, or poised above with a blade in hand. But you are a worthy opponent, and one I am glad to have fought." (([Sniff] I always cry at this part! [Bawls])) ((I hope that was open-ended enough.))
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 11:04 AM	Ichiata turns in looks at Merithale in a confusing way. A moment later he totally turns his body and faces Merithale responding to that remark in his average speech of disorder "you sword wants you to.... fight me? I dont want to be the jerk here but arent you suppose to control your sword? If you are controlled by a mere tool then thats pitiful. Anyways, why waste anymore time... I will meet you in the arena with that remark Ichiata snickers and flies out through the window, waiting for Merithale to follow
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 11:08 AM	With a swift wind and the tune of a melancholy violin, Merithale arrives in the arena. "Alas, this is no ordinary sword. it has transformed me into this... this thing you see before you, but it is no use to disobey it." With that, he raises a hand and blizzard of snow and wind whips aorund the two, obscuring merithale from your view entirely. As you search for him, you feel a sharp slashing pain all around you, and realize where it is from: these are no ordinary snowflakes, but miniscule daggers, all flying at you.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 11:11 AM	Ichiata conjures his halo of fire to try and melt the snowaflakes so he can get more information on his opponent
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 11:21 AM	The snow melts and the blizzard clears, allowing him a view of a now slightly insubstantial Merithale, along with many cuts around his body, their pain previously numbed by the cold. A sad tune plays in his mind now, accompanied by the singing of a crystal clear, mournful voice. It brings to his mind all the sorrowful events he has suffered in his life, and would certainly bring any lesser man to his knees.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 11:29 AM	Ichiata flaps his wings to try and blind Merithale like what he did with MURK. A blinding orange reflection comes off the shimmer of his black-crimson wings. The scorching halo is still coating his body giving Ichiatas wings something to reflect off of. With that first stunt Ichiata then springs forth keeping his sliced right hand in a jab position.
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 11:31 AM	((need to go now, night!))
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 11:32 AM	((Ok, bye))
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 10:25 PM	Merithale swings his glass rapier in a circle before him, shining the reflection back at Ichiata. Immediately after, he begins to play a tune on his violin.The floor of the arena, as well as Ichiata, begin to be covered in ice, piercing, sharp ice. The pain and numbness slows Ichiata in his advance, while Merithale circles him, thrusting and slashing constantly with his blade.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-30-06, 10:36 PM	"I am still alive, if that counts. But I dont think I could do much." Cysel is down on one knee, staying up by using koravel as a cane. His kimono is is scorch from the heat from can's attack, as steam rises off of him. "Care to declare this a draw?"
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 10:38 PM	Ichiata pouts as Merithale rips through his body as his burning blood pours out of him threatening to melt the ice and injure Merithale. Ichiata suddenly bursts into cinder and ash and leaves a skeleton, very charred and smoldering with some runes on it... Ichiata appears a few feet in the air, suspended and then a ball of redish-yellow fire trailing it a soft red glow races toward Merithale. The light that reflected back at Ichiata does not seem to blind him edit: welcome back to the forums Cog
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 11:09 PM	The sphere smashes into Merithale, and he melts into a puddle of glass. Then, the impossible happens: the puddle then reforms into Merithale and flies towards Ichiata, carried by the soft melody of his violin. As he approaches you, however, you realize that something is wrong, a cruel grin now covers his face, and his blade seems to have darkened, black barbs of ice erupt all around him from the air itself. The glass figure then raises his hand and thrusts his rapier at Ichiata's head. At the same time, shards of frosted glass rain down fro the sky, striking his opponent.
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 11:09 PM	((back soon))
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 11:19 PM	Ichiata takes the blow to the head and a spray, a large spray of his molten blood blasts into Merithale's face. Ichiata has a large gape in his head. Half a later second Ichiata shouts in the most horrific and entropic way anyone ever heard. Afterwards he blasts into smoke and ash, leaving another skeleton with runes, it then crumbles into pitch black dust and picks up in the wind. Ichiata reappears infront of Merithale, trying to get a hold of his body. With his hands glowing in a blackish tone.
cog_n_taz 12-30-06, 11:41 PM	Merithale allows his opponent to grab him, but not without a price. An intense cold radiates from him, piercing Ichiata and threatening to make him unconcious, which would surely be an end to the match.
jakelslang21 12-30-06, 11:56 PM	Ichiata grabs Merithale attempting to drain his lifeforce into his Ichoiata's soul. The black lights on his hands consume Ichiata and Merithale. while the ice grinds into Ichiata's body he wimpers and blows into smoke and sulfer. Leaving behind another skeleton with red runes glowing all over it. Ichiata reappears about 60 feet above the arena, gasping and panting for air as he chokes on his sentence. "We equal eachother out, i will heal away the wounds i receive while you are unphased by my powers. We might as well think of a meaningful strategy if we are to continue..." Ichiata hesitates for a moment and then his halo of white, crackling fire surrounds him. Ichiata shouts and falls to the ground. He looks unconcious but....... edit: Good job on your "Fantastic beasts and how to use them" thread, there are some great ideas in there like an Athach monk would really keep PC off balance
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 12:20 AM	((wow, looks like I'm famous or something! Yay!)):) "I have, my fiery friend. Besides, I would not be too sure that you are healing all your wounds..." With that, Merithale, assuming that's what you are fighting, begins to play a tune on his violin, and slowly, one by one, the souls Ichiata has consumed begin to leave him, and he si alone... alone, with the music.
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 12:32 AM	As the crystal shimmering souls hover out of Ichiatas sparking body he springs open his eyes. He is paralyzed in fear by seeing his "life" leaving his body. Ichiata brings back his white halo blasting out blinding light and scorching fires he soars into the air and shouts at Merithale. "RRAAAARGH!!! Why!? Why relinquish the corrupted?! Couldnt!! How............ Ichiata babbles on about the "corrupted". All of it sounds like he is bluffing but never be to sure with this guy... His panting between words shows he not in a sane position, As he flies right into Merithale with his halo of hellfire all around him he puts his left hand in a jabbing position.
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 05:12 AM	The claw connects, shattering Merithale into a thousand pieces, the bard is no more. Shards of glass pierce Ichiata, but leave no further significant injuries. Just when the crowd thinks it is all over((and possibly Ichiata)), a soft, soothing, and yet mocking voice, dripping with sarasm and malice, sounds behind the demon, accompanied by applause. ((assuming that's what he is)) " well done, my friend, well done. Keep that up and..who knows, in a few days, you might not even be dead yet! ((recycling a favorite line of mine from another character in the next sentnce))So, what's next? Take your time, I'll be here all day, but will you?" With that, Ice crackles and encases Ichiata, enclosing him in a cage of frost. Alone, save for that terrible music...
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 12:20 PM	As the case of frost and ice covers him it melts on contact ((the halo :P )). Ichiata shouts out in his chatoic tone whilst panting and wheezing... blood this time "HAH!! I might be dead in a few days!? I think not!! I do not see why you wish to kill me!? do you have a reason!? Tell me now!! With that Ichiata flies up in the air and blasts down a barrage of orange-red flares, hoping it will strike Merithale. ((oh yeah and he is an Arch-Wing. A race i made up))
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 12:39 PM	With perfect precision, Merithale weaves between the spheres of fire, almost dancing. His old, melancholy voice has returned, as he speaks. "long ago, almost centuries ago, I was a simple bard in the northern lands. I learned the tales of my people, their music, and some magic, that was all. Then, they came- a neighboring triobe ame to my village, slaughtering them in their sleep, I hid, helpless. To this day, I regret that I did not die then, but what could I do? Their blood, their innocent blood, pooled on the snow, staining it red, while I hid, helpless. Soon I could bear it no longer, and I strode out to confront them, but it was too late, they were all dead. Besides, I was unarmed, there was nothing I could do. But what's this? There was a blade, a thin and long, well fashioned rapier of red glass stickiong out of the snow. It seemed to drain the blood from the snow around it, but I was desperate, I had little time to dwell on this, so I wielded it. Immediately, it took control, guiding my arms, cleaving my enemies, it left no survivors, save myself, its wielder. After the battle, it began to whisper into my ears, guiding my actions. It can always take control, and sometimes does. Sometimes, I do not even remember what it has done. It twisted my music too, into this tragic melody, which tears my soul. It has transformed me into this creature of glass that stands before you, and prolonged my life unnaturally. It is the spilt blood of my village, and it begs for vengeance, for more blood to add to itself... if only I knew then what I knew now... if only. But now..." Merithale's perfect glass skin begins to turn blood red, as does his blade. "NOW, YOU SHALL DIE!". His face contorts into a feral, predatory snarl as he flies toward you, sword raised. With a roar, he slashes furiously, freezing blood, body and flame as he moves towards you. He swings his blade in a perfect arc, aimed to split Ichiata's skull in half. ((backstoryriffic!))
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 12:50 PM	Ichiata backs up almost instantly from this skull-splitting attempt. As he backs up he reaches out his crackling orange arm and tries to force it into Merithale's arm that carries the twisted sword. ((Wow no offence but that story is kinda cliche except for the glass manipulation. The glass part is cool :D))
Wall 12-31-06, 05:46 PM	Pinpointing Cycel's voice, he turns to look at his adversary. "I believe a stalemate would be most appropriate," Can says, wobbling a bit. "Then so be it. I agree to an honorable draw." Can slowly tries to climb to his feat, windmilling his arms to keep balance. He gives a short bow (nearly falling over again) before readying himself to leave the arena. Well, as soon as he can see again.
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 07:06 PM	((thanks. None taken, but it's really not that cliche. Not unique, but a far cry from cliche. Besides, I was in a hurry cos I needed to go to bed and your guy was saying: "Back story, NOW!". By the way, you may want to edit the IC half of your post as Merithale has no muscle, the guy's pure glass.))
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 07:50 PM	((Ok that makes sense. also i did not know he was glass so i guess he i is just trying to shatter the arm))
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 08:31 PM	Merithale, or whatever your opponent is at the moment, parries with his left arm, Ichiata's claw embedding itself in it. He uses the force of the blow to swing himself and the arch-wing, flinging him into the arena wall before letting loose a hail of glass needles at him. "Fool! Do you think that destroying this body will matter? Do you think, perhaps, that we cannot simply obtain another?"
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 08:42 PM	((Oh yeah i forgot to say, An arch-wing is just a human with the crimson-black wings... well looks like it)) You flay Ichiata with your barrage of glass needles. As he turns into a mess of burning and gory orange fluid Ichiata blasts into fire and sulfar leaving behind this time a skeleton with smokey red runes.... suddenly all the burnt and deformed skeletons animate, walking up to Merithale with ferocity and terror. While the smoldering skeletons with no runes are marching, the 2 ones with the runes are still on the ground. Ichiata is nowhere to be found
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 08:49 PM	At that moment, a slow, dark tune plays through the arena, coursing through even the ears of the dead. The skeletons stop in their tracks and stand in their place, listening. All the while, Merithale weaves between them, playing his tune, until he reaches the runed skeletons. six spheres of ice appear by the ground, as the two skeletons are drawn to each other. "One to release," he says, and places a sphere in the left eyes, the souls of the dead in the skeletons flying away to their resting places as the unruned ones collapse into dust. "one to bind," he speaks as he places a sphere in each right eye, and in doing so, attempts to bind Ichiata in place. "and one.. to end." he places the final spheres in the grinning mouths of the skeletons, and an invisible force lashes out at Ichiata, freezing, piercing, trying to end him.
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 08:59 PM	You hear a maniac's scream then a enormously strong stench of brimstone stings and burns Merithale ((Idunno if he can smell, seems like he should)). The wheezing and gasping that Ichiata experiences sounds very close. Then a bludgening object lashes toward Merithale ((you decide if it hits)).
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 09:06 PM	The object strikes the unsuspecting Merithale squarely on his side as he flies toward the arena wall, you hear a tinkling of glass, and see a trail of shards on the ground.The tinkling slowly vanishes, turning into the sound of a strong gust of wind and snow, developing into a blizzard. Ichiata finds himself on a path through a snowed-over forest, nearly frozen. He does not remember how long he has been there, but it is nearly over. In the distance, he sees houses, and lights... lights, from burning flames.
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 09:16 PM	Ichiata, stunned by this illusion tries to deny what he sees, trying to focus on the battle, what might be happening. He starts to fly upwards.. seeing if this is an illusion he should stay away from the ground and high above it. While he stays suspended in the air he readies his healing tactic waiting for Merithale strike. As Ichiata's halo of white crackling hellfire covers him he hopes that will negate a strike of ice or glass. As this goes on he starts to talk "You have shunned my abilities yet surpassed them.... Im waiting...... Now strike!!! ((ok i might as well reveal Ichiata's status as he will likely loose. He is drasticlly weakened but not easily able to be damaged. He is low on souls to use for healing and stuff.))
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 09:27 PM	((guessed as much, but I'm not trying to kill him...yet:evillaugh )) The Halo melts the steam around Ichiata, surrounding him in a halo of water and steam as he walks. As he continues on his path, he realizes the nature of what he has stumbled upon. He has arrived at the centre of a battlescene. two tribes slaughter eachother with claymores and battleaxes, burning houses, butchering opponents, staining the snow with blood: some their own, some from others. Throughout this, none take any notice of you, save for a young boy carrying a violin, cowering in a corner hidden behind a barrel, staring at you fearfully. Two voices arrive in your mind, one pleading, one soothing. "please... help me... they're all dying..." "come, wield me, o worthy one, and all your troubles shall be gone, flamewing." Out of the corner of your eye, something catches your attention. A Rapier of perfect, blood red glass, in a patch of white snow. It calls to you, tells you to wield it, and it will save you in this dangerous hour, spare you from all woes... ((bet you saw that coming from a mile away, but it had to be done.))
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 09:44 PM	((Im flying but oh well)) Ichiata snickers and snarls at the boy... "I assume you are Merithale, and if you are just a phantasm dont respond.... And if this flashback is to alter your life..... Then i wish to bring up your sorrow... Ichiata swoops down to pick off the people that seem to be with the boy. When satisfied he tries to destroy the twisted sword with a ray of sparking white fire and prevent Merithale from grasping it. ((Wow that is menacing beyond the limit. But thats Ichiata for you. He does not take lighly for being injured))
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 09:48 PM	((hey, you just improved his life for the better by destroying the sword! Or not...)) Your actions garner no response, nor do the rays do anything but pass through the sword. A voice sounds behind him "too little ichiata, and too late." As the glass blade pierces his heart. ((it is an auto-hit, I'm sorry. How much he is affected by it is up to you though. ((so, what did you think about the previous scene? I kinda feel it was a little cliche, but otherwise happy with it, I'd like someone else's opinion on it, though.))
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 10:00 PM	((Well on the contrary i would have made it worse. See if i destroy the sword he would not be able to fight back and continuously feel the sorrow.... Just like from that ninja thing "Naruto" my brother wont stop watching. He sais some punk named Sasuke witnessed something similar to Merithale but, his bro slaughtered his clan members. But this is waaaaaay offtopic soo yeah ill get on with it. Since it was an auto-hit can my next strike like deal like twice as much damage or something??)) Ichiata takes the blow to the heart, He screams in agony... enourmus agony but, He does not turn to smoke, in fact he strikes back with a kick to the stomach ((Your call if it succeeds)) of Merithale. As well as that a large sum of his burning orange blood poors onto Merithale. ((Also your call if it hits)) He then blows into sulfar and smoke and stuff leaving a greatly charred skeleton with no runes. while the hole in Ichiata's body partially heals, orange sprays of his flaming blood still flow smoothly. With his heavy breathing and wheezing you can hardly think. ((Yeah... im done with this responce... Also longest one ive done in a while :) ))
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 10:11 PM	((oh god, this guy actually resembles naruto? Of all things? Can I go stab myself now? By the way, honestly, anything beats being possessed by the sword, no? And yeah, I'll make your attacks a hit.)) As Ichiata's kick connects, the one-armed bard shatters to a thousand pieces, only to be melted by the arch-wing's blood. The pool of glass sinks into the ground, but you sense it is not over yet. All around you, you see Merithale in each flake of snow, in the flames, in the ice, and in the earth itself. A thousand sharp voices call out to you, reverberating through your mind. "There is nothing you can do, flamewing. Submit, and fall before the ice, you will not live another day in any case, I shall make it painless." The ground takes on a glassy sheen, erupting in shards of frigid glass that streak towards Ichiata. The snow wraps around him. Sticking to him, slowing him, and obscuring his vision. All of a sudden, Ichiata feels very tired...
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 10:25 PM	((Hehe ever play Soul Calibur? and thanks for the successful strikes)) As all the ice and snow surround and bury him, Ichiata's surprised that his halo has been supressed and his insomnia has failed him. He screams in pain and bursts into fire and sulfar leaving the burnt skeleton to be destroyed by the biting cold... This one has runes on it, it blows up into a screaming pulse of hellfire and smoke. Ichiata is pretty impressed and startled at Merithale's power. with deep smoldering cuts and flays around his body, he does not seem to be able to do battle but he is surprisingly soaring through the skies blasting down a seemingly endless wave of crackling and sparking orange rays. ((Hey uhh cog....... I dont want to sound like a jerk but i was wondering if i can win this battle. In return you could have one of your guys beat the heck out of Ichiata next round. Maybe the mind and phantasm guy who fought Alkiroth and Lothar, Ichiata is far from sane and wont be for a few hours making him an easy foe to face your mind dude. I just want my guy to get a minor rep around here cuz this will be my only guy i will use. But your choice :D ))
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 10:35 PM	((yes. Oh god.. .I just realized the similarity... by the way, no problem on you winning, I was actually (believe it or not) planning on losing, in a permanent, dead kind of way. And no need to trade victories or anything silly, I enjoy a good story, and will take these as they come. So, you want to pick a fight with Wresh next? Have fun...)) As the skeleton explodes, Merithale reveals himself, sword in hand, fully healed(both arms n all). He raises his blade to deflect the rays. But then, the impossible happens. The sword snaps. Even as the sword is destroyed, Merithale seems to regain his old self, and at the same time, becoming older, and more human. His old strength leaves him, and he is exposed to the rays. They embed themselves in Merithale with the sickening smell of burning flesh, sending coils of black smoke skyward. The flames spread through his body, burning him slowly to death. He collapses onto the ground, consumed by the flames. A sad voice fills Ichiata's mind. "If only... if only I knew then, what I know now... but it is too late.." A tragic music fills the air as Merithale turns to ashes and smoke, vanishing forever. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust... this is my end, Ichiata, and I thank you for it...goodbye." The illusion vanishes, leaving you floating over the arena floor. Merithale is gone from this world...forever. All that is left of him as the magic mouth declares the winner, is a single rapier of perfect crimson glass, radiating cold, lying on the ground. but it cannot end... not yet. ((how's that for an ending?))
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 10:47 PM	((Wow... how benevolent... Thanks!!! :D )) Ichiata just stares at the ash thinking.... "What the hell" As he is sent back to the lobby while his eyes still have the "1000 yard stare" With his mouth wide open. He tries to comprehend what happened, he thought he was sure to lose but he didnt.... He finally focuses and flies out to the menacing glass sword, his hands pitch black ((He is trying to consume the souls from the sword. You decide if he can)) as he touches it. ((Well that finishes my responce, nothing left to say. That responce was not that cliche or unique, just normal well ill be waiting))
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 10:52 PM	The souls come to Ichiata...in a way. As he approaches it, the rapier flies into his hands. "so...you are next?" Ichiata is now the wielder of the blade. ((:evillaugh :D . By the way, quite a harsh critic, aren't you? Eh, I suppose we all get spoilt after reading too much of gideon's stuff:P))
cog_n_taz 12-31-06, 10:54 PM	A ghostly figure in green robes appears before Ichiata, bestowing him with some healing. "come, the Dreamer wishes to do battle with you, it would be unwise to keep him waiting."
jakelslang21 12-31-06, 10:58 PM	((Oh man... punishment for my harsh critique? :eek: :noway: :uh-huh: :raincloud :rant: :bigeyes: :eek: :eek: :weep: :surrender well..... hmm i gots an idea!! :D )) As Ichiata sees the sword fly into his hands he drains the swords with his currently pitch black hands ((If the sword is the soul of the sorrowful community i think thats what you were saying earlier... I can take it cant i?)) He absorbs everything in the tainted sword hoping the sword will show no resistance. ((not much to say there right now... My bad if they are not very good responces, we are prepping for a party and i kinda wanna get the Merithale trauma outta my head... soo yeah))
jakelslang21 01-01-07, 12:00 AM	((Oh, i did not see Wresh... Ill combat him i just want to finish with this freaky glass sword))
cog_n_taz 01-01-07, 04:33 AM	(('s not punishment, and good luck with the party. I had no idea it's such a trauma... if it's that bad, I'll finish it up.)) The souls that make up the sword seem to find a worthy host in Merithale, as they drain out of the blade and into him, the haunted rapier crumbling to dust.
SquirrelMortis 01-01-07, 11:38 AM	Looking particularly bedraggled, Wilt stumbles into the room. He is flanked by two bodak body-guards and blood streams down his face. "That's the last time I try to cut a deal with Erandis d'Vol," he wheezes, coffing up blood and something cosmetically similiar to syrup. "Or plunder Xen'drik, for that matter."
jakelslang21 01-01-07, 12:40 PM	((Thanks cog, It was not bad the trauma part was kinda sarcastic. And when i meant trauma i meant the sword part with the soul draining. And the punishment was just a joke you can disregaurd it.))
cog_n_taz 01-01-07, 07:14 PM	((ok)) WELCOME BACK SQUIRRELMORTIS!!:bounce: :ayyyy!: :w00t: :cheer: :dancin: :dancin: :dancin:
SquirrelMortis 01-01-07, 08:03 PM	((I'm glad I was missed do much...:D)) Wilt looks around, hastily wiping the blood and 'syrup' from his face. "Someone was laughing at me, I know it..." he grumbles. He turns to his bodaks. "Go and feast on living flesh, I'll be busy for a while." They both cheer loudly, give Wilt a high five, and run away cheering. "Idiots, they don't even know I'm not paying them." He grinned evily and whipped out his thorn covered staff. "Ah yes, a certain kobold and I have [evil voice]business to attend to[/evilvoice]
Gaelro_Nailo 01-01-07, 08:44 PM	Cysel lowers his head to Can, "Then it is agrea. Now I need to reformmy beads, somehow." Cysel slowly makes his way out of the arena to try and find a quite room to rest in.
jakelslang21 01-01-07, 08:59 PM	Ichiata blows into fire and sulfar leaving a bllack skeleton, He reappears in the lobby waiting for a challenge. ((Ok well the party went well and stuff.... And thanks again Cog, ill be waiting for Wresh))
cog_n_taz 01-01-07, 09:00 PM	Skraal decapitates wilt before putting his head back on with a squelch, knowing it won't harm him. He then grins and high-fives wilt. "Hi, ready to kill me yet?"
Wall 01-01-07, 09:27 PM	Nodding in return, Can leaves the arena. He knows he'll be back, but first, a return to his home. ((Let's see, that's three characters to date. Lothar's with Lafali, Mikelo's still running with his tail between his legs, and Can just finished up and is on his way home for now. Hm, should I take a bit of a break, or come in with someone else?))
SquirrelMortis 01-01-07, 09:35 PM	Wilt grins slightly. "Not to be pestersome, but you put my head on backwards." Wilt lifts it off and once more puts it back on. "Yes, I am ready to kill you." His thorn staff glows an acidic blue. "Shall he step into the arena, my scaly pseudo-dog/lizard friend?"
cog_n_taz 01-01-07, 09:39 PM	"putting your head on that way is intentional, and frankly, you look better for it." He looks to the counter as the two pass it "lucky for you, I'm in a good eough mood not to mess ya up too much, knockout, please." He places a fistful of coins and walks off, though on closer inspection, most of them are coppers. "you ready?"
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 12:37 AM	...:bump:
Wall 01-03-07, 07:19 PM	((Dang, this place has been slowing down lately. Are there no roleplayers on these boards!?)) It is as though a mound of dirt and rocks is slowly being pushed into the room. But as it moves farther and farther in, it is easy to notice that the mound is moving of its own accord. But that isn't odd; Kalju is an earth elemental, after all. Kalju's vaguely humanoid form is just visible through the shifting earth and stone that is him as well. It's a hard sight to describe, being both shapeless and humanoid at the same time. But Kalju knows this, and slowly shifts to a more solid form as he makes his way across the room. Finally he stands at the desk, a creature of almost 7 feet, with two sparkling emeralds for eyes. "Perhaps anyone is interested in a fight? Kalju rumbles, his voice like granite pouring on the stony floor. ((Yes, I understand the irony of my first OOC statement.))
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 08:31 PM	((squirrel, hurry up! Unfortunately, wresh and Skraal are busy, while Merithale is dead. Any other ideas on who to use?))
Wall 01-03-07, 08:48 PM	((Dunno. Perhaps introduce someone new? I brought in Kalju 'cuz Lothar is busy and I wanted to wait a bit before anyone else's return.))
jakelslang21 01-03-07, 08:52 PM	Ichiata looks at Kalju in an offending way, still trembling and breathing heavily from combat with Merithale. He starts to speek in his loud and unruly entropic tone "I-i would l-like a battle with you...... If y-you want..... ((Hey cog, It seems Wresh still has not responded so i guess ill move on. Is taht ok Cog?))
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 08:53 PM	(('kay, brainstorming...)) Out of the corner of your eye, you notice a few beetles and other vermin crawl out of the cracks in the floor. Soon, they are followed by others, until the entire arena is covered in insects of every description. They meet by Kalju, coalescing into a roughly human form, rising to a height of 6 feet. "yes."
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 08:55 PM	((umm... no, you didn't respond, I'll bring him in.)) The ghostly figure of Wresh Haltirak appears by Ichiata, cloaked in his green robe, adorned with screaming faces. His shadowy yellow eyes thin in annoyance, and he speaks to Ichiata, his tone never quite the same at any one time, but consistently annoyed. "I grow impatient, Ichiata."
jakelslang21 01-03-07, 08:56 PM	((Well actually i did refer to him saying something similer to "Oh i missed Wresh. Ok i will deal with him after the sword trauma" sooo yeah...)
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 08:58 PM	((ah, okay. Doesn't make him less upset though. (don't get it wrong, I'm not upset, he's just that kinda guy.))
jakelslang21 01-03-07, 09:02 PM	((I know anyways ill move on)) Ichiata turns to Wresh with agony and pain. He seems almost like he will lose concience but he still looks very able. Ichiata speaks in his normaly chatoic accent. "Ch-challenge me...? Me...!? I shall accept this fight at the moment..... or...... Ichiata glides out the window with his wings wide open, shimmering the orange-white glow. He stays there, suspended in the air
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 09:05 PM	((didn't get that, is he starting the fight or not?)) EDIT: page 90! woooooooo!
jakelslang21 01-03-07, 09:05 PM	((Yeah sure why not, he already entered the arena...))
Wall 01-03-07, 09:06 PM	Kalju's gem "eyes" shift through its body to stare at both Ichiata and the figure next to him, although Kalju never turns its head. They are emotionless and unblinking, but both can tell that Kalju is sizing them up. The "eye" focused on Ichiata pops outward slightly. "You are injured. Perhaps you should rest before combat." The gem recedes into his head and pops out with the other to focus on the being next to him. After a nano of more sizing up, he speaks with the eloquence that only an earth elemental can provide. "You are uninjured. You want to fight. Let us fight." Kalju expels a small gem from his body onto the table in a way that could easily be described as "spitting," and trudges off towards the fighting ground.
jakelslang21 01-03-07, 09:08 PM	((Wow..... us guys really need top read other guys posts.... Sure lemme just fight with Wresh... if i dont get beaten... likely i will :P ))
Wall 01-03-07, 09:09 PM	((Yeah... we'll just say that Kalju said that before Wresh showed up. I'm not the quickest typer.))
jakelslang21 01-03-07, 09:10 PM	((Ok lets see if Cog sais thats ok))
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 09:11 PM	((arena auto-heals you unless you say otherwise.)) Wresh walks towards the arena and disapears. He does not reappear. Ichiata is suddenly surrounded by an inky black cloud. Half-formed things from the depths of his subconcious flail out at him, terrible nightmares, ones even he does not remember, strike out at him. In all this, Ichiata hears only one thing. Wresh haltirak is somewhere on the field, laughing.
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 09:16 PM	An alien chittering fills the air as Kalju's opponent collapses, reforming as a hooded four-armed figure in the arena. Without a word, it raises its hand, and the closest thing kalju has to skin begins to quiver, before a great swarm of vermin erupts out of it, joining his opponent. " the earth holds many of us, it is our home." ((any of you played powerstone? If so, this guy has jack's voice, more or less))
jakelslang21 01-03-07, 09:17 PM	Ichiata cocks his head in an upper position, with that he looks back down and tries to get it out of his head... "GET OUT!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! YOU FIEND!!! Ichiata is choking and wheezing his orange sparkling blood again. All he hears is Wresh's laughter and the screeches of the horrors surrounding him.
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 09:24 PM	"Get out of your head? Hardly, it is quite the reverse, my fiery little friend. Your dreams are real, and so am I, but you are no realer than a painting, perhaps less. It is you, Ichiata, who is in a way a figment of your own, and to some extent my imagination. Never the less, I shall do what I can." He speaks the last sentence in a mocking tone, and Ichiata realizes that he is somehow watching the battle from above. "This, flamewing, is the truth". There are the roiling black clouds below him, and wresh. His onw form, however, is nowhere to be seen. "Don't you see it yet, you poor, deluded creature? This is the truth. This is the world as it trule is!" He looks around and, to his astonishment, there is no living thing, other than wresh.
Wall 01-03-07, 09:25 PM	((Mm, can't say I have. What system?)) Kalju closes off the hole in its body instinctively, but all the vermin are gone by that point. Suddenly, it melts into the earth. "You are standing on me." A fist of stone and earth somewhat larger than an average man erupts from the ground below Kalju's opponent in a silent explosion, seeking to grip the creature in it's crushing grasp.
jakelslang21 01-03-07, 09:27 PM	Ichiata resumes his halo of white fire and races towards Wresh while suspended in the air. He lays down a barrage of crackling white and orange bolts to thy sky and ground while charging towards the assuming "real" Wresh.
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 09:30 PM	((dreamcast)) wall: As the fist strikes the creature, it scatters into individual insects, spilling all over the arena floor. You hear their collective voices in your mind. "And we, Kalju, are in you." . Millions of insects of all descriptions burst forth from the earth, melding into a veritable giant. The earth itself seems to creak an moan under the weight of the abomination.
Wall 01-03-07, 09:33 PM	((Ah. Never owned a dreamcast. Some friends did/do, though. But about the fight: not too much description in that last post. Humanoid? Insectoid? Just how big are we talking?))
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 09:33 PM	jakel: The bolts streak straight through the dreamer, as he turns and laughs at your futile attempts. "Tell me, flamewing. How could a mere daydream, a figment of one's imagination, harm me? How do you propose to destroy me, when you are but an illusion?" Ichiata is brought to the ground, and falls inside the cloud. He now sees one image before him: The dreamer holds a dagger. In his hand is Ichiata's unbeating heart.
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 09:35 PM	((woops, sorry!)) The disgusting figure stands more or less 20 feet tall, though it shifts constantly. At the moment it is a six-armed humanoid with insectile wings, compound eyes and a great dripping mandible, but it seems to be amorphous, changing at the drop of a hat.
jakelslang21 01-03-07, 09:39 PM	Ichiata bursts into cinders and sulfar, leaving a nearly charrless skeleton. Outside the cloud Ichiata reappears looking for Wresh a second afterwards. Desperatly, Ichiata lays down another barrage of white bolts around and in the cloud while flying he starts scanning for Wresh. edit: Last post for today is here. Well cya
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 09:41 PM	((okay, bye. Just so you know though, that was not a physical attack))
Wall 01-03-07, 09:48 PM	((Hey, no problem.)) The hand recedes into the earth, but in its stead comes Kalju's form, pulling with it more of Kalju's natural element. Rising to meet its opponent's height, Kalju's form is that of solid rock, streaked with veins of metal and crystals, and caked in layers of soil. Nothing resembling a face is visible, but the largely "muscled" outlines of Kalju's arms are very, very apparant. The elemental melds into the arena floor, no distinction between them. "Fight." Kalju swings a mighty arm towards the swarming mass. ((Giant monster fight!))
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 09:59 PM	((sorry bout being late)) The insectiod mass dodges to the side, before grabbing both arms with its own, and delivering a massive bite. Slowly, the arms begin to turn green and sickly as the taint of poison creeps up to Kalju's shoulders and further. The impossible has happened, the poisoning of an elemental.
Wall 01-03-07, 10:09 PM	((First fight: The Incarnation of Primordial Nigtmarish Fear. Second Fight: A Creature that Can Poison an Elemental. And with no save, no less. I certainly run into the strangest things, don't I?)) New to the sensation of poisoning, Kalju is shocked; well, as shocked as an earth elemental can be. It is not sure what to do, so it does the most logical thing: Kalju's arms drop to the ground as they wither and die. Literally, they drop off of its body, melding with the earth and dissipating the poison ((well, you can't very well poison a plane, can you?)). A pair of new arms, as big and brawny as the last, emerge from its torso with a loud "shrliik!" sound. And with all the finesse, elegance, and strategy found in an earth elemental, Kalju makes another strike at the swarming creature.
cog_n_taz 01-03-07, 10:31 PM	((sorry bout the wait again, may well be my last post)) The insectile creature changes shape briefly to avoid the blow, before reaching out with the closest thing it has to a palm, grasping Kalju. Immediately, it begins funneling the swarm through the arm into Kalju. Soon, the creature is nowhere to be seen, and the elemental feels the terrible burning pain... of being eaten from the inside out.
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 04:36 PM	((Ok, im back... dang bus driver. anyways we could just say he was illusinating the flight and was really still surrounded by the darkness, in a ball..... scared... Also i shall make a new character as Ichiata is kinda cliche. I bet you all know that right? Well here goes)) A man enters the room. His beigns hardly show his eyes and a ponytail drops down to his shoulders. His clothing consists of a light blue tunic, leather blue bracers on his arms, a aqua blue tasset with gold trimmings, some dark grey pants with aquablue leather wrap around his ankles, and lastly, a brownish grey belt holding up a large haft ((thats the word for what carries the sword right)) and a sword with gold trimmings, a emerald in the center of the hilt, and a long curved, wicked blade. He seems to be toying with some ice on the way in. He looks down to the table, places 10 cold coins and signs the waiver. ((Inspiration from Merithale :D )) edit: i do horrable with entrances i know... This guys description was like a list and stuff.... just saying that so i dont get chastisement about my entrance stuff
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 05:39 PM	A 12 foot tall cloaked figure walks in and drops a coin on the counter. It is obvious that he wears heavy armor and weighs more than his sizes indicates.

jakelslang21 01-04-07, 05:43 PM	A man looks at the hulking "being". He starts to talk in a unruly but calm voice I assume you are a golem? Its just a wild guess but uhh you seem like one ;) . Anyways i shall battle with you
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 05:55 PM	The monsterous being looks down and says, "I will battle with you. I would introduce myself, but most of my kind go without names. My formal designation is 11-31."
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 05:59 PM	"Uhh... yeeaaah.... well ok i will be waiting down at the bottom then The man walks down into the arena floor waitinf for the cloaked figure to follow or jump out the window ((classic))
LivingShadow 01-04-07, 06:00 PM	Vicros fades in at the lobby. For the benifit of those who aren't familiar with him he is a human mage wearing black robes with small amounts of shadow floating around him.
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:04 PM	(He uses the stairs, 10 CHA) "I feel no pain, so a concede match isn't so useful. I also can't be knocked out and the concept of death is alien to my race, so you may choose the match type. Any will do." (Yes I am a golem)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 06:08 PM	((How bout knockout?)) The man starts to give off a blue small glow and has drawn his sword. He speaks in his calm voice "We shall do knockout. Shall we begin? If so, your the initiate"
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:11 PM	11-31 Sends a fireball and keeps firing them as much as possible. (from right arm, uses a singe draconic command word)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 06:14 PM	The man blasts a pump of icy water, trying to douse the fireballs. He secondly conjures, then throws a chunk of rock-hard blue ice at 11-31's chest.
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:17 PM	(unless you can give a reason on how a chunk of ice is a threat to a golem, 11-31 will just ignore it and keep blasting)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 06:19 PM	((Meh if its hard enough and its not it could harm it if it were stone or clay or something. the guy is just assuming you said it was heavier anyways hes just testing out the golem. Why dont stone and clay golems have hardness? i never got why they didnt))
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:21 PM	(11-31 is iron and don't forget that he will just keep firing and if he senses any real damage to his body, he will fireball himself)
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:24 PM	(are you BBQ yet?)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 06:25 PM	((Ok then)) As the ice is shattered against the golem's body the man pours several gallons of ice water onto the golem ((Rusting?))
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:27 PM	(check the last spoiler in my first post, rust gauntlet gives rust immunity)
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:30 PM	"Did you think that I would leave myself with such an obvious weakness!" Edit: (by the way, I'm still blasting)
Wall 01-04-07, 06:35 PM	((How intent we are on winning this fight, Cog. But I hope you weren't seeking an easy one; the elemental plane of earth has many tricks!)) Coarsing through the softer parts of its body, the insects tear at Kalju like a swarm possessed (which, as far as Kalju can tell, they are). Kalju's massive form swivels around, gigantic arms flailing, simply trying to toss the bugs around and out of its body. It is in vain, however. Reeling in pain, Kalju falls flat on its back with a crash like a dragon hitting a wall of force. Instinctively, Kalju begins to sink into the earth; taking the bugs with him. ((Ho ho!))
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 06:36 PM	He murmers some words and his sword becomes sheathed in a light blue glow. The man starts charging with ice water in front of him towards the golem and tries to hack at it. edit to wall: Dont get me wrong but cant you use the rocks in Kalju's body to push the bugs out of you? And welcome back
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:38 PM	(Point-Blank range fireballs and golem fists rain down opon you, fire heals me)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 06:42 PM	((That kinda makes your character virtually indestructable ya know?)) As the fireballs steam off of the ice cold water the man takes advantage of the steam-screen and prarrys towards 11-31's rear, where he attemps to strikes its back ignoring the wounds from 11-31's fists
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:47 PM	(11-31 will keep fighting without any worry. Also 11-31 can be defeated but mundain attacks are all but usless without the right magic. 11-31 is an officer but there are much more powerful beings.)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 06:50 PM	The man still hiding under the steam-screen attempts to swipe off the rust gauntlets from 11-31
Wall 01-04-07, 06:53 PM	((Wow, gone for a few days and I get a welcome back! Well, I am glad to be back, Jakel. As for Kalju just pushing out the bugs: Yeah, I could, but Kalju isn't the shiniest stone in the gift shop, if you know what I mean.))
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 06:54 PM	(There is no need for the gauntlet to be removed so it was bound to his arm pretty well. 11-31 abandons his fists and starts to continuously fireball the ground causing an area of flame all around him.)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 06:59 PM	The man backs out the steam-screen and pours a pump of ice water towards the raining fireballs. ((I give up. I cant find his weakness and my guy's weapon has the cold property. And yeah i get it Wall, good luck))
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 07:04 PM	"Good fight, not many can stand up to my kind." (By the way, antimagic of silence effects would have stoped the fireballs and make 11-31 much easier)
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 07:09 PM	((glad to be of service. Didn't realize I was so cruel on your entries, I thought I was just offering advice. Also, Ichiata is really not all that high on the cliche scale at all.
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 07:10 PM	((I dont want to sound cheap but to make it fair could i just have a scroll of antimagic of silence. If not disregaurd this reply)) With the wisdom the man has gained over the years he brings forth a Scroll of Anitmagic of Silence. With this time after he cast the spell he tries to tend to the wounds he has suffered from 11-31's slams. edit: I want this guy to lose if thats ok nernumber1. just want to give the golem some damage. edit2: If you are referring to me Cog, then you were not cruel at all i just really hate chastisement of any sort... just my personality. dont take it personally wow.... bad pun not intended.
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 07:12 PM	((err... I really don't mind you winning, just puttin' up a fight, but what makes you think that the insects care being underground if that's where they live?))
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 07:16 PM	(I thought you gave up, I would not have told you otherwise. If we are still fighting, 11-31 will charge as fast as his body will allow. And yes magically finding the exact scroll you need when fighting a one trick enemy can be seen as cheap edit: (I ment silence or antimagic field, etc. not any particular spell)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 07:21 PM	((yeah just incase you did not see above i would like this character to lose, just want him to have a decent fighting capability. But if you want you can kick my character's butt.))
Wall 01-04-07, 07:24 PM	((Just joking around, Cog. As for being underground, well... how many of them can survive a cave-in?)) Once underground, Kalju hardens its outer shell with the surrounding rock. Increasing the size of the metal veins, they too sheath him. Now veritably indestructible, Kalju begins to shrink down to his usual size, the bugs still inside him. ((Actually, I hope they can survive. Don't want to end the fight that quickly. Anyway, I don't mind losing at all. In a clash of titans this big, it's fun either way!))
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 07:28 PM	(Fine. The sword most likely was damaging me before I started bathing myself in flame. 11-31 is a one trick pony, but is deadly if you are not prepared. And all this with a market price of 192,500gp.)
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 07:32 PM	(I'll allow the scroll, but you're badly injured and a 5000lb iron golem is charging you.)
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 07:37 PM	Suddenly, steam begins to rise off Kalju as a gaping hole appears in his chest. The foul smell of earth melted by acid fills the air, as millions of insects pour out through the hole. As soon as they make their escape, they reform again, before taking to the air. (can this guy fly?)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 07:38 PM	((Sure i dont mind if my guy is beat, dead for that matter. Either or a golem in the arena will definetly bring in some flavor. I mainly wanted to use the scroll so you could beat me phsically because the fireballs did not seem to work right? Sacrifice for a wprthy cause of course :) )) As the charging golem strikes the unexpecting man, he falls to the ground... dead...... Then the golem is teleported back into the lobby. Only to hear his name announced by the magic mouth blah blah blah...... ((well thats it for me, i guess ill stay with Ichiata for now. Well ill be waiting))
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 07:44 PM	(Even with the free resurections, 11-31's blow was not meant to kill. The fireball effect is from a magic item I made up using the magic item creation rules in the DMG.) edit: (mabye I'll reveal 11-31s friends, who are also inteligent golems. They have their own kingdom.)
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 07:48 PM	((He was a spellcaster, very frail. And i hope that item is an artifact))
Wall 01-04-07, 07:49 PM	((Just think of it: An army of earth elementals, all with white feathered wings, flying with Wagner playing in the background... No, he can't fly.)) Unable to determine its opponent's position with its tremorsense, Kalju pauses for a moment to consider what has happened. Realizing that its opponent may no longer be on the ground, Kalju bubbles up to the surface (although there really isn't an change in the ground, it's kinda made of it after all). Although its vision isn't the greatest, the giant flying mass of insects flying above Kalju is rather obvious. After taking another moment to understand the situation, Kalju begins to expel rocks from the ground with a force great enough to propel them dozens of feet in the air, only to come crashing back down into his body and redirected into the air again.
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 08:06 PM	(Artifact? A magical item that produces a lvl 3, cl5 spell using a command word is 27,000gp. Fire resistance would reduce it to giving you a tan and it only healed about 5 to 6 damage each turn because I'm a golem. These rules may need DM consent but it isn't like I'm completely invincible.
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 08:14 PM	((Of course not. Nobody can really be invincible on this thread. You may have needed to be more precise with your phrasing though. If you say it rained fireballs it would sound pretty uber. What is the CL their traits and the such when you first see it? i would not know. Those would be the first questions that come to mind when i see it.))
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 08:38 PM	((Hey Cog, Im back. You want to continue the match?))
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 08:41 PM	m'kay, check the last response you made to Wresh first, read my comment and fixxit.
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 08:47 PM	((I checked but could not find it. How bout we take it from when Ichiata is curled up in fright?))
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 08:50 PM	jakel: The bolts streak straight through the dreamer, as he turns and laughs at your futile attempts. "Tell me, flamewing. How could a mere daydream, a figment of one's imagination, harm me? How do you propose to destroy me, when you are but an illusion?" Ichiata is brought to the ground, and falls inside the cloud. He now sees one image before him: The dreamer holds a dagger. In his hand is Ichiata's unbeating heart. Ichiata bursts into cinders and sulfar, leaving a nearly charrless skeleton. Outside the cloud Ichiata reappears looking for Wresh a second afterwards. Desperatly, Ichiata lays down another barrage of white bolts around and in the cloud while flying he starts scanning for Wresh. edit: Last post for today is here. Well cya That's waht happened last.
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 08:57 PM	((Ok, im back... dang bus driver. anyways we could just say he was illusinating the flight and was really still surrounded by the darkness, in a ball..... scared... Also i shall make a new character as Ichiata is kinda cliche. I bet you all know that right? Well here goes)) ((I was thinking so Wresh tricked him into thinking he escaped Wresh's grasp but he wakes up knocked out at the lobby or something but your choice.))
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 08:59 PM	awright, write that bit up and you can end the fight.
jakelslang21 01-04-07, 09:08 PM	((Ok, I shall do that)) Ichiata feels he has escaped Wresh's grasp. His first thing he sees is Wresh floating and surprised at what happened. Ichiata unleashes a bolt of crackling orange and white flames. As this bolt of unholy hellfire hits Wresh he screams in agony and burning and melting. Ichiata hears the magic mouth say "And Wresh ((Forgot last name, my bad :( )) is the winner!!" To his surprise he wakes up in the lobby only to see Wresh and many other faces looking at him. He starts to regain sanity as he stares at Wresh. edit: How did ya like taht for a victor?
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 09:32 PM	(I'm sorry Jakelslang21, I meant he used it every turn, which would add up pretty quickely. It isn't like you were very clear with all of your attacks. 11-31 is near invincible unless you are prepared. If you are he will have no trick up his sleeve to tip the scale back in his favor.)
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 09:38 PM	"Are there any availible combatants? One battle is no indication of the worthiness of this group."
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 10:24 PM	((Ok, I shall do that)) Ichiata feels he has escaped Wresh's grasp. His first thing he sees is Wresh floating and surprised at what happened. Ichiata unleashes a bolt of crackling orange and white flames. As this bolt of unholy hellfire hits Wresh he screams in agony and burning and melting. Ichiata hears the magic mouth say "And Wresh ((Forgot last name, my bad :( )) is the winner!!" To his surprise he wakes up in the lobby only to see Wresh and many other faces looking at him. He starts to regain sanity as he stares at Wresh. edit: How did ya like taht for a victor? Nice, but how come that makes Wresh ((haltirak, btw)) a winner?
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 10:29 PM	((NN1, this place is not supposed to be crunch-heavy, just so you know.)) "sure there is, stony." A voice behind him sounds as 11-31 feels the tap of a lance on his shoulder. He looks around, trying to spot the speaker, but sees no one...until he looks down. Skraal the kobold is mounted, ready for combat and looking up at him, a broad reptilian grin covering his face. "Well, better pay up and head to the arena then. An' don't you worry, I've got a repair spell or two ready..right up here." He taps the side of his head((yay for psions!)). As he passes by the counter, he drops a platinum coin on it. Unfortunately, the illusion still falters, revealing a corn cob on the counter and a kobold running to the arena very, very fast.
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 10:32 PM	"I have no need for your repair spells," (he puts a coin on the counter and follows the kolbold) edit: (What is "crunch-heavy")
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 10:44 PM	"sheesh, another wannabe toughguy? Look, I wasn't suggesting that you need em now, but in...oh, five minutes? Those unneeded repair spells are gonna seem like the best thing since sliced bread, just you wait!"
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 10:47 PM	"I meant that I have my own methods. Now let us begin. Is a knock out match okay."
cog_n_taz 01-04-07, 10:51 PM	"sure, whatever floats your boat." As the match begins, the kobold mounts up and charges toward the golem, lance first, the tip of which seems to be spinning.
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 10:55 PM	(The golem waits until the kolbold is within 20 feet then unleashes a fireball and uses the cover of flame to unlease a strong kick) (Is that spear adamantium?)
NerdNumber1 01-04-07, 11:24 PM	(sorry, lance. Anyway, how strong is your strike against an iron golem?)
cog_n_taz 01-05-07, 12:10 AM	((Bad News, the spear can tunnel through a wall of iron, and yes, it is modified adamantine.Also, some IC stuff once in a few posts won't kill anyone:P.)) The kick misses entirely, smashing into the ground. As the fire clears, the kobold is nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, a mindblade strikes the golem from behind. "you know, I'm a bit confused about that last bit, was I supposed to care about that attack? If I was, well, you blew it pretty badly there." Skraal dismounts, leaps back, and makes a few magical gestures. As the last one is completed, an orb of pure astral force surrounds the golem, trapping him.
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 10:53 AM	"Good job. I'm not very versitile, so my attacks might be stale."(he starts to fireball the ground) (I'm sorry about his lack of dialog, but he is the silent type)
cog_n_taz 01-05-07, 12:17 PM	((you know, his actions are not actually OOC, and thus need not be in brackets. Also, the silent type thing is opkay, maybe my guy is overly chatty.)) "tactics aside, you smell pretty stale. Anyway, I think you might've found a way out, more power to you. On second thought, more power to you after the battle, yeah, that's better." The fireballed ground begins to turn to lava, slowly eating away at the edges of the golem's prison, burning it away. Finally, the sphere bursts in a cloud of smoke. Immediately, the golem feels a mindblade in his back, only to see Skraal behind him, holding a sword sheathed in electricity. "so, you miss me yet?"
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 12:25 PM	(I don't think that fireball can melt the rock, but I figured that the blat would weaken whatever was traping me and heal at the same time) 11-31 continues to fireball the ground causing a 20 foot radius of flame. "How tough is your hide against fire?"
cog_n_taz 01-05-07, 12:39 PM	"damn, you got me there, I might actually get a tan. Seriously buddy, you're challenging a descendant of dragons with fire?". With that, Skraal leaps on to the golem's head and rolls back down on the other side, raking his opponent with the twin mindblades as he goes.
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 01:17 PM	(Normally kolbolds are hurt by fire or red hot iron (metal heats up well) and how much damade do mindblades do when you factor in DR) 11-31 continues his blasting, completely enveloping himself in flame every blast. "Physical attacks will be worthless for me against your speed. Immolation will be harder for you to dodge and will heal me. Your powers have a limit for the day, mine do not. Also, your body knows fatigue, unlike mine. If I can hold on long enough you will slow down, while I can fight untill the end of time."
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 04:05 PM	Nice, but how come that makes Wresh ((haltirak, btw)) a winner? ((Well i was thinking when he made Ichiata fall asleep he won for knockout ((That counts right?)) Or he attempted coup de grace and he succeeded, but Ichiata's abilitys kept him from totally dieing. He has several souls to use for for cannon fodder and similar things.)) ((Nerdnumber1 i accept you apology and i was used to fighting with Ichiata making the ice dude a bit tougher to use. Yeah i did not do to well with his attacks and i was also not to precise with what happenes. So all in all our mistakes cancel eachother out.))
LivingShadow 01-05-07, 04:51 PM	((Vicros is in the lobby in case anyone wants to fight/talk to him.))
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 05:01 PM	((Ill try to converse with him)) Ichiata walks up to Vicros after getting up from the ground, following him a faint smell of brimstone. He speaks in his standard voice and sais: "Soooo..... you are a nocturnomancer eh? You guys are the men who cant be social am i correct?" Ichiata snickers and waits for a responce.
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 05:05 PM	A metalic canine construct (small size) with a pack on his back runs through the door. "I have a delivery for 11-31. I guess I should wait until his mach ends." He contents himself by watching the match. Edit: (Which page can I learn about Ichiata.)
LivingShadow 01-05-07, 05:25 PM	Ichiata feels coldness creep around him. "You are not correct. I work with shadow magic and most people who learn that tend to avoid me."
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 05:27 PM	"Shadow magic, sounds interesting," the canine says in a cheerful voice.
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 05:30 PM	Ichiata snickers at what Vicros said. He then responds "Hehehehe..... If i am to be right being feared from is anti-scoial am i correct? And also please dont use magic in the lobby or any kind of ability you have as Lord Gareth does not allow it. And i would hate to see a beast with such power to be silenced now would I?" Ichiata steps back a few feet and waits for Vicros to respond
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 05:35 PM	"I have noticed that fleshed beings seem to ignore small constucts such as myself. Oh well."
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 05:39 PM	Ichiata takes a quick glance at the dog-like construct. He turns around fully and responds "I would not ignore such a wondrous creation like yourself. You are truly a sight to behold. ((He is made with gears and such right? That would be really cool))
LivingShadow 01-05-07, 05:40 PM	((It was prestidigitation and would not qualify as an attack and thus isn't illegal.)) "If you count being run out of town because you aren't understood antisocial then yes I am." He turns to the metal hound. "Hello there. Can I help you?"
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 05:44 PM	((Well i could understand melee swordplay and archery but nothing that has the effect of a creeping cold or something.... Your guy should really have the Shadowstaff :) )) "Yes it is. You cannot naturally socialize with the normal without being chased out of town, am i correct? I am antisocial outside my clan of course....
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 05:45 PM	(more golem-like but uses an air elemental and has no SR) "Don't worry I'm used to it. Anyway I am one of the lesser members of my community." (Where can I find info on Ichiata?)
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 05:49 PM	((Look at page 86 and up)) edit: He is not a incubi. He has falcon wings.
LivingShadow 01-05-07, 05:49 PM	To Ichiata. "Depends on the number of paladins in the region. You know the traditional darkness=evil preaching done by most churches."
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 05:56 PM	"Well i can understand you might get caught often. You are not afraid to show your prowess. And that dark cloak and the shadowy presence does brings attention to the town gaurd. I admire your courage. Ichiata seems to be hiding something and he is letting you try to find it out.
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 06:01 PM	To Vicros: "Yeah, flesh beings can be so dense. Present company excluded, of course. Constructs are a bit more logical."
LivingShadow 01-05-07, 06:03 PM	"You apparently find the same problem from the way you are talking. I did get a chance to see your battles and I can see why." To the hound: "Depends on the construct, a rare few are just insane." ((Last post for today.))
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 06:08 PM	((Cya)) Ichiata rises his eybrow and looks at Vicros in a negative *bad idea* look. "I have the slight feeling you are mocking me?
cog_n_taz 01-05-07, 08:20 PM	((Well i was thinking when he made Ichiata fall asleep he won for knockout ((That counts right?)) Or he attempted coup de grace and he succeeded, but Ichiata's abilitys kept him from totally dieing. He has several souls to use for for cannon fodder and similar things.)) ((okay:).Also, it was more or a mental coup de grace, that whole thing he saw was an illusion, only real unless you think it is.)) ((NN1: yeah, but this guy has fire resistance through magic items/stronger dragon heritage. Anyway, I rather not get into his level vs DR etc. Sorry!)) "Just thought you might want to know, that's your grave you're digging with those fireballs." Skraal snaps his fingers and a large bucket appears over 11-31's head, filled to the brim with ice and snow. The mixture begins to cascade over the golem. As the rapid chilling and heating continues, slowly, the golem begins to crack. "And that, I think, is where I should call it a day, or you're gonna be in some major trouble."
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 08:28 PM	11-31: "I concede. You are to fast for physical attacks and immune to my fire, thus I cannot win without stalling until you fatigue. That would take longer than I can take your attacks. Anyway I have a package waiting for me." 11-31 walks to a side area to fireball himself until fully healed. (11-31 is a big win/big loss character. He destroys you or you destroy him.) Edit: (The way magical fire magically heals iron golems, I doubt that the heating and cooling would do that much.)
cog_n_taz 01-05-07, 08:49 PM	((awwww... so much for physics.))
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 09:01 PM	(Magic things tend to ignore some of the laws of physics.) 11-31(to canine): "Do you have my mail?" Canine: "Yeah, I have the news. I also have some new equipment for you." 11-31: "Thank you. I suspect you will be going now." Canine: "No, I think I'll stay here for a while." 11-31: "Very well, I will go training until someone needs me." (He can train for years without stop or rest.)
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 09:37 PM	(11-31 is availible for battle, he may also have new equipment)
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 09:41 PM	Ichiata turns and faces 11-31. With a shrewd and obvious mental insult towards 11-31. he begins to speak Soooo..... I assume you are 11-31 the one defeated by a miserable kobald? I may be weak against a kobald with his power but i know a powerful golem like you should... no must win against one such as Skraal? Ichiata seems to be trying to manipulate 11-31 into hating Skraal. To cause disruption. ((Note: Ichiata is not evil. He just trys to bring chaos into everyone's lives. Just so you know. But he becomes evil when losing sanity))
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 09:46 PM	"He is more versitile than I. Power levels are not static, some enemies are less suceptable to some attacks. I was merely unlucky."
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 09:51 PM	"Seee? That is what im talking about... Unlucky with your moves is right. Do you know why? He mentally told you to slow down so you did... See golems cannot communicate with anyone other than their master who normally communicates telipathicly. And because he did you had to take his orders... I assume you already knew this?" Ichiata snickers and leans back out the window to rant and cuss at the battles going on outside. ((Hey Cog... I have nothing against you im just trying to keep my character with his personality... I hope you dont mind cuz after rall you just battle here :P ))
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 10:03 PM	"Inteligent golems use much the same creation process as inteligent items and are thus unifected by such methods. I am aware of my limitations and have learned not to anger from my army training."
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 10:12 PM	Ichiata turns back and frowns with dissappointment. "Ahh.... You dont seem to be phased by such mere tricks.... how about a challenge? ((Just so you know If you accept i want you to know he does not use fire as a weapon... hellfire is not fire but i think you knew that right? :) ))
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 10:16 PM	(No I did not) "I accept, though you may be too powerful for me." (remember, I have a few new tricks)
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 10:21 PM	((I know, i bet that mechanical dog is gonna cheer. You should add him cheering in your replys. Just a suggestion)) Ichiata starts walking down the staircase ((though the window would be much more suitable)) As he walks he begins to speak to 11-31 "Dont be so modest. Your a golem show your hardiness. As you watch him walk down the stairs a sword appears. It is a scimitar with unusual markings. Then a moment afterwards it dissappears. Ichiata does not seem to notice this change of arsenal. ((He is not trying to be dramatic, he really does not know that happened.))
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 10:25 PM	"Generally I am weaker against spellcasters, I assume you are an outsider. Aren't outsiders very resilient to most elemental attacks?"
cog_n_taz 01-05-07, 10:28 PM	Skraal suddenly appears out of thin air, a sword pointed at Ichiata. "A weak kobold with my name.. in this arena, y' don't say? Well.. I'll tell you what, if I see one, I'll let you know. Until then, keep your mouth shut, I ain't some kinda stick-up-the-arse paladin, and I don't have to be this nice." With that, he walks away again. ((no hard feelings received, no problem, just acting as he would here too))
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 10:29 PM	Ichiata turns and stops, seeing he has uanswered questions to answer. He turns around and speaks "No i am not an outsider... I am most certainly not Tanar'ri scum either. More the less am i a spellcaster, i use souls to relinquish my pains which you do not have. Aside from my bolts of "fire" I need souls to use my unique abilitys. So do not think i will be using any of my greater tricks on you... edit: Ok and welcome back Cog I will add Ichiatas responce to that Ichiata merely snickers and waits for 11-31 to catch up.
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 10:37 PM	"Shall we begin? And after the battle I will wish to know more about your method of spellcasting besides the first hand experience you will undoubtably give me."
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 10:41 PM	"Very well, I shall strike first" Ichiata springs off his feet and darts at 11-31 trailing him a crackling white halo. He starts to slowly pull back his hand for a powerful punch, aiming at 11-31's chest.
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 10:43 PM	11-31 lacks the speed to dodge the punch but instead counter-attacks with a fireball at point blank range.
cog_n_taz 01-05-07, 10:49 PM	edit: Ok and welcome back Cog I will add Ichiatas responce to that Ichiata merely snickers and waits for 11-31 to catch up. A single arrow whizzes through the arena, stopping to hover right in front of Ichiata. On its side are carved three words. "what was that?"
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 10:51 PM	The fireball sweeps the unexpecting Ichiata off his feet. He flies to the ground and blows up into fire and sulfar, leaving a heavely burnt skeleton. Suddenly a bird like creature appears in the sky, throwing down a couple of crackling white-orange bolts of hellfire striking around and next to 11-31 ((You choose if any of them hits 11-31))
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 10:53 PM	Canine: "Wow, that is one persistant kobold. Hey Skraal wait until the match ends, then you can try to kill him for all I care."
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 10:56 PM	Skraal has a feeling that Ichiata is communication, not with his mind, but through the soul of Skraal You are truly to much... And please dont do this indirect conversation... It is bad for your stubborn reputation...
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 10:59 PM	Holds up an arm to block (it does as much damage as any hit) and skids back a few inches then returns fire. "Good trick, I still expected more than straight offense."
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 11:04 PM	Ichiata grins then dissappears out of thye sky. He is nowhere to be found but you smell the strong scent of brimstone. ((If you can smell)) Then from behind he strikes. ((This is personally one of my favourite tricks he has. Your call if it succeeds))
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 11:10 PM	When his target disapears, 11-31 turns while delivering a single fireball to his chest. He sees the attack but his dodge only succeeds in giving him a partial hit ending up on his side. 11-31 tries to fire more fireballs.

jakelslang21 01-05-07, 11:18 PM	Ichiata struck by the fireballs 11-31 unleashed, Ichiata backs up and fires a large streak of blindingly bright white hellfire to the golem's back ((Your call if it hits)). He then blasts into fire and sulfar, leaving a skeleton slightly charred but still darkened. He then reappears about 50 feet away from 11-31.
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 11:22 PM	11-31 attempts to run up and graple with his opponent while a blast hits his back.
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 11:25 PM	Ichiata smirks, waits for 11-31 to get really close and then moves out the way with unusual speed. Behind him a stone wall waits for 11-31.
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 11:29 PM	11-31 turns and fireballs his opponent (Golems don't move that fast). (I have to break for awile.)
jakelslang21 01-05-07, 11:35 PM	While 11-31 is blasting itself with fireballs next to the wall Ichiata uses the time to strike a barrage of spectaculer white hellfire that gives off a soft orange glow as it strikes around and next to 11-31. Hoping the hellfire will weld the iron golem into the wall. edit: Oh i misread ok i will change it down here While 11-31 is blasting Ichiata with fireballs, Ichiata takes to the air making it harder for 11-31 to get a more precise strike and lays down a barrage of spectaculer white rays that give off a soft orange glow around and next to 11-31. Ichiata is hoping to meld 11-31 into the wall. ((Note: I am gonna bring his sword into play soon. Just be aware))
NerdNumber1 01-05-07, 11:52 PM	11-31 starts blasting the ground to stop the tactic of his opponent while healing himself for a counter attack.
jakelslang21 01-06-07, 12:01 AM	Ichiata swoops down from his isolation and tries to trip 11-31 onto the ground before trying to bodyslam him with his flaming white sparking halo facing 11-31
NerdNumber1 01-06-07, 12:07 AM	(please note that I am being bathed in fire) 11-31 tries to grab his opponent and blasts another fireball. He strains his body as he is pushed back a few yards.
jakelslang21 01-06-07, 12:19 AM	((And the sword comes in)) Ichiata bursts into sulfar and fire and reappears nearly 100 feet away from 11-31. Suddenly he starts to lose his sanity faster than before. He screams in pain and anger as a large scimitar appears in his hands with a sheath appearing on Ichiatas back. Both the sword and sheath glow with a dim crimson light and he starts to speak in this battle. URGH!! UHhhhhhh..... A gift..... for... my.. obediance...... Ichiata then springs into the air with his glowing sword by his side. He unleashes a slash that leaves dark purple streaks as it slices through the air and maybe 11-31 ((your choice if it hits again)) ((Ok i will give his sword's abilitys here -It gave him quite a bit of lifeforce making him harder to injure severely and he will burst into smoke and fire recently -It increases his power to channel hellfire and the like))
NerdNumber1 01-06-07, 12:25 AM	He dodges the attack and shoots fireballs back.
jakelslang21 01-06-07, 12:30 AM	Ichiata accepts this grapple but with a price... The negative hellfires infused with the sword seep into the golem's body, it will slowly diminish the golem physically ((melt, but repairable)) and mentally ((sense of time and all other senses diminsih, but healable by remove curse and similar spells)). Ichiata flings to the ground, his muscles temporarily give up from shock but then he unleashes a bolt of crackling white-orange hellfire into 11-31's face.
NerdNumber1 01-06-07, 12:33 AM	11-31 lies his 5000lb body on his opponent will blasting fireballs.
jakelslang21 01-06-07, 12:38 AM	Ichiata knows he cant break loose so he combusts into fire and sulfar leaving a skeleton that turns to ash. Ichiata reappears in the air, suspended, hoping he can stay out of reach while 11-31 takes affect from the hellfire. As he waits he wheezes and coughs with bits of sparkling orange blood coming from his half-healed wounds.
Lord_Gareth 01-06-07, 12:42 AM	Folks, I'm re-making the thread so we don't hit critical mass and get deleted. Incidentally, I'm planning on hosting a full-on tournament soon. You'll get a full explanation later. Finish up this fight, and then I'll post it.
NerdNumber1 01-06-07, 12:46 AM	11-31 stands up, his left arm is limp and useless. He stumbles and his leg caves. On his knees he says, "I concee...." and falls forward. (Good game. He will come back stronger later though.)
jakelslang21 01-06-07, 12:49 AM	((Yes he was very tough and fun to combat. I will be looking forward to him later on)) Ichiata heads back to the lobby, and waits for the new thread to come up. ((ok do your thing Lord Gareth, ill be waiting :D ))
NerdNumber1 01-06-07, 12:54 AM	(have to go and sleep bye)
jakelslang21 01-06-07, 12:55 AM	((Ok cya :D ))
thecrazyDM 01-15-07, 12:01 PM	The kobold with attitude is back:D What did I miss? (For any of you that were wondering, I was in Turkey at my Grandmother's funeral.)
