Peanuts Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 "So according to Hans, there is no other chance of escape but fighting the guards lateron. Anyway, right now I'd like to fight as well. Let's hope for the best." Quote
Zepher Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 The guards come to collect the next two combatants, who turn out to be Jess and Henry. They do not bother to resist are are dragged to their individual elevators. The elevators rise and the wall facing the arena falls away. "Fiiiiiiiiigggggggghhhhhhhhtttttttt!" calls Draco.

Peanuts Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 "I suppose fighting ourselves would just weaken our group, Jess, so considering our future plans we should propably not do so. I think we should look around in the arena first", Henry suggests, slightly afraid of his possible opponent. OOC: Do I have to bold this again? If so, I'd like to get a description of the Arena. Quote
Zepher Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 The arena is circular. The lowest level is a sandy field, where the contestants stand. The walls surrounding this area have only two divides - for the elevators. The walls surrounding the battle field are about ten feet high, and the crowd is seated next to it. Guards are peppered through the area, but not many. Higher up in the stands are a few private boxes, the biggest of which belongs to Wren and Draco. Quote
Peanuts Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Doesn't sound very promising. I'm going to scan the sand and the walls for anything unusual, i.e. anything but sand and solid bricks. Quote
Zepher Posted October 1, 2011 Author Posted October 1, 2011 Doesn't sound very promising. I'm going to scan the sand and the walls for anything unusual, i.e. anything but sand and solid bricks. There is nothing in the sand. The walls are brick, but they are not even and it is possible, if a challenge, for someone to scale them. Quote
Khorne Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 "This is a difficult situation we find ourselves in. Wouldn't it be best if we stood up against the guards, instead of weakening ourselves by defeating people from our own group?" Eric said. Quote
Zepher Posted October 1, 2011 Author Posted October 1, 2011 <Khrone buddy, only the folks who are up in the arena currently can post for the time being > Quote
Khorne Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 <Whoops, I hadn't realized the fight had already begun, since Peanuts was still scanning the Arena. Sorry! > Quote
Sisco Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 "Henry, I don't want to hurt you. Let's explore the arena a bit, eh?" Quote
Zepher Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 There is only sand, there isn't much room for exploring. "I'm growing bored," says Lady Wren in a voice that sounds like it is whispering in each heroes ear. Suddenly, electrical pulses course through both their bodies, and they feel weaker. "Do something, anything, but do it quick. Be heroes of action," she instructs. Jess Islanti Jess Islanti (played by cralegoboy) Level 6 Rogue 74 year old female Elf.

Peanuts Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 "Ough. You'll pay for that, Lady! Can I spot with which weapons the guards are equipped? Do they carry ranged ones? Beacuse, if they don't we could try to climb over the walls. As rogues we should be very well able to climb walls." Quote
Sisco Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 "Argh!" "Damn it, lady!" Jess thought indignantly. "Aye, let's attempt to scale the walls after taking a look at the guards' weaponry." Quote
Zepher Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 The weapons of the guards are assorted, as are their uniforms. They have have spears, swords, axes, and one (and only one) has a bow and arrow. They are far enough away from the top of the wall that the heroes, if they chose to scale it, would have a second or two to catch their breath before being attacked. Quote
Sisco Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 "What do you say, Henry? Remember that we could always flee if we're about to be overrun." Quote
Zepher Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 Henry and Jess climb the walls. They are both almost hit by an arrow, but dodge nimbly. They arrive at the top of the wall, and catch their breath before they are faced with three guards.

Peanuts Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Damned. I'll throw my shuriken at Guard A from the back row. Wait a second, we have no party leader. So we'll have to decide ourselves who'll be first and therefore get hit by one guard. Jess, you would be more capable of dealing with damage, while I'll only get half the damage, as I'm in the back row. I think I should go first. Quote

Peanuts Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 "I'll swing my sword at the Head Guard from the Front Row." "And maybe you shouldn't take the Head Guard. The damage we'll get from the free hit will be the same, as they all have the same level, but if you take one of the Guards, we'll sooner get rid of the third enemy, I suppose." Quote

Zepher Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Results of Round One of the Vermin Battle: Henry vs. Guard A: Hit Jess vs. Guard B: Special Damage The battle begins. Henry throws his weapon and it hits Guard A, nicking him and then flying by. The guard howls in pain. Jess hurtles towards Guard B, but she misses, and he screams out for help, calling forward Back-Up Guard A. Head Guard takes a free hit on Henry.

Peanuts Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 "That didn't pan out. I'll have to retrive my weapon, while you better attack Guard B, I suppose, taking the risk of another guard being called in." OOC: Shouldn't I take the free hit from the head guard, as I was the first one to attack? And why is it called "Vermin Battle"? Quote

Sorry, I didn't realize that's how free hits worked, I thought it was simply whoever the NPC picked to target. I'll fix it now. And it's called Vermin battle because you're vermin. Quote
