Saellie bowed respectfully to the referee and her opponent then stepped into the starting area. This was it, her first big duel, in which she could win honour and fame and enhance her ki. First she muttered a prayer to the spirits of this place of battle and death, begging their aid and warding off their curses.

As the time counted down, she lifted her weol do and spun it around herself in a quick practice pattern to limber, going through basic attacks and working out what range she had in these corridors, before twirling and chopping the air in front of her. "Ace!" she shouted, her kihap or spirit shout.

Belanor moved into the arena confidently. His first debacle of a of a match still fresh in his mind. The young elf drew his bow while reaching to the quiver he wore on his back which always seemed to be empty until his hand was there, drawing an arrow as if it were from thin air. The ranger then sized up his opponent and entered his area. With a wave of his hand to signal he was ready he waited for the gong.

At the start order, Saellie took off at a jog, racing straight down into the centre of the maze, her weoldo held level beside her.

Hearing the sound of the start gong Belanor padded off down the tunnel he was in and made his way to the center junction, his bow at the ready. Once at the junction the elf used his keen elven hearing to listen for any noise that might tip him off as to which direction to go next.

Upon reflection, as she jogged done the hall and around the corner, a maze really was quite pointless when one could see where one was going.

OOC: Can I get an idea of which way you are coming with my listen check?

In this arena, you should always use your move Silently and Listen checks...  Even if you are not trained, or not really trying to move silently, this will give you the ability to determine if you can hear the other moving.  Since ACP applies to Move Silent, it will be harder to move silently with armor.

DC for a listen check increases by 1 for every 10 feet away the "sound" is.

If you beat the Move Silently by more than 5 you can pin point the location of the sound, or figure out the direction of the sound by meeting the move silent check.

OOC: Sorry. I think it was -10 we worked out last time. So, Move Silently... -10. I rolled a 1.

It looks like you take -4 on Listen for distance, so I imagine it's impossible for an elf ranger to fail. :)


Also, for me: Listen 9.

OOC: Do you want me to roll a retroactive stealth check then?

OOC: If you like, but I don't really want to sneak around a maze rather than fight. :)

Thanks to his years of training in the wild Belanor picked up the sounds of his opponent coming down a nearby hallway. The elf moved as silent as a shadow to the edge of yet another junction and drew back his bow, aiming at the junction he could hear Saellie coming down.

OOC: Ah, diceroller says you rolled a 10, a miss


Where is he? she wondered she stepped around the corner, and an arrow whizzed past her helm, neatly answering her question. "Ace!" she roared, rushing down the corridor at the elf, her long weol do leading the way. As soon as she had the room, she turned and waved the axe-head and red tassel around him in a lightning-fast distracting display.

OOC: You may. I don't have anything to stop you doing that.

OOC: This is not going well already!

Belanor cursed under his breath when he missed with his first arrow. When the white haired woman closed the gap quickly the young elf decided to try and step out of the range of the wicked looking pole arm she wielded. The young elf stepped back and fired an arrow,reached over his shoulder to his empty quiver and drew another arrow and fired. Both arrows glancing off the woman's armor made Belanor curse even louder in elven.

Belanor let out a loud cry of agony as his arm was almost sheered clean from his body. The elf stumbled away from his opponent out of sheer panic then limped away down the corridor holding his ruined arm. Once he ducked around the corner Belanor leaned against the wall and hoped he would be able to heal himself soon or this was going to be ANOTHER short match.

OOC: Ah, you can't take a 5-foot step and move around in the same turn. Try the Withdraw action - that'll save you from AoOs, and you're faster than I am, so you can safely heal yourself next round.

OOC: You know, I always forget that rule. My post has been adjusted. Carry on destroying poor Belanor :)

She chased after Belanor. She was going to have to do a lot of running here, it seemed. Catching him around the corner, she tried to fence him in with her weoldo, but he seemed rather concerned about his injury. "Are you okay?" she asked, treating this more like a sparring contest than a battle of life-and-death. Well, the former was more accurate.

OOC:Sorry,been busy with the holiday weekend.I will post an action when I get more than a few minutes.

Belanor looked up at Lam, a look of confusion on his face at her question. Without answering the young elf stumbled backwards and slapped at 2 of the moonstones on the wide belt he wore. The wound on his arm closed up enough so the appendage wouldn't fall off and was usable, Belanor dropping into a defensive stance awaiting for the next attack.

In reply to Lam Saellie (msg #25):

OOC: I took my original rolls from my edited post and yes, I used 3. The diceroller in the arena has a serious problem with me.

OOC: Ah, sorry, I saw Take's last healing, but didn't notice either the name or the date. Um. Okay, I'm recovering from a bad cold, so that's my excuse. ;)

And I wrote the first paragraph before I rolled my attack roll...

*

Saellie shrugged at the lack of response, then advanced a step closer. "I'm going to try to trip you, okay? I actually haven't done this in-play before, so we'll see how it goes." she warned. There was rarely a reason not to be polite, she felt.

She angled the weoldo low and darted it for the elf's legs trying to catch his pants with the hooked back. But he stepped neatly aside, and she wondered if this was one of those occasions not to be polite.

Belanor stepped over the swinging polearm easily after his opponent told him what she was going to do.
"I am a little put off by your tactics madam. Not many fighters will tell you their plans before they do it. In fairness, I am going to try and shoot you again." the young elf said,somewhat confused at this woman's fighting methods.
Belanor once again stepped just outside the range of the large bladed weapon and fired off two more arrows. The first went wide as the young elf winced from the still tender wound but made his adjustments and hit true with a solid shot to the woman's shoulder, the arrow snaking it's way through the plating of her armor.

"Yes, I expected you would." Saellie answered curtly, pulling the arrow out of her shoulder with gritted teeth, perhaps slightly irritated. Training was over now.

"I do apologise for confusing you, Belanor-ssi." She threw away the arrow and, holding her polearm to the side, suddenly exploded into motion, leaping one left-step forward and throwing her right leg out in a devastating side-kick. Ace!" Her foot thudded into Belanor's stomach, before she landed in a close fighting stance.

Belanor let out a grunt as Lam kicked him in the midsection.He could feel the impact through his leather armor, one of his ribs giving way. With a curse the young elf once again went on the defensive and ran off down the hall, his mood darkening as he saw yet another loss in his near future.

Saellie forgoed bending her weoldo into his legs as he retreated, and wondered if they were unfairly matched, archer versus polearm fighter, or perhaps she had chosen the wrong type of place in which to fight. Sighing, she jogged after the retreating archer.

Finding him around the corner, she bowed. "Forgive me, I think I may have erred in my choice of arena."

Final Position: X7

Belanor slapped at the last active moonstone on his magical healing belt, the magic resetting the dislodged ribs from the last shot he took and a bit more from his previous wound on his arm. The weary elf stepped behind the cover of the corner as his opponent bowed and spoke. The elf stuck his head around the corner and said,"Are you yielding?"

There was much confusion in the question, an eyebrow cocked upward.

OOC: You weren't in reach or threatened, if you want to move further away? Anyway, I'll post properly tomorrow (ie. ~11 hours).


"No. I mean, you have no space to shoot, I have no space to swing a nine-foot polearm. And so I chase you."

OOC: I know,but he is just conversing right now,feeling out which way his opponent is choosing to take the fight.

"If you would prefer, I do carry a sword. We could finish this closer if you would like."Belanor said from around the corner, trying to be as polite to his opponent as she had been to him through their fight.

"I would not wish you to abandon your specialty, master bowman." She'd run out of her fighting spirit now, after getting to know her opponent too well and embarrassed that she outmatched him here.

Running past the corner, she stopped at the far wall and swung her weoldo around in a sweeping arc intended to distract the archer before he could let a shot off.

With the arrows flying so wide, Saellie needn't have bothered being careful. She jumped forward, lunging her weoldo for Belanor's legs, trying again to trip him up. But she went too low, too wide, and he easily avoided it.

The arrow whizzed past, rather too close for comfort, and Saellie noted that his aim was improved again. She stepped forward, raising her arms high to push her weoldo low, making a perfect strike at his ankles, snagging them against the saw-tooth back of the blade. Unfortunately the angle gave her little force to much to trip him over.

Belanor screamed out in pain and frustration as the brutal blade slid through his armor and into his belly. The young elf wasn't sure if his body could take the constant shock of taking this kind of damage and healing but the ranger limped off down the hall once again anyways.

Given the arrow strikes her armour had been absorbing but not entirely stopping, Saellie decided to also take this break to heal up. This was becoming a battle of attrition, it seemed. She tapped her belt, and a bare trickle of healing magic was released. This likely put her even with Belanor, she thought.

Belanor was a bit surprised when Lam did not follow him, but he was not one to look a gift centaur in the mouth. The young elf grabbed a second potion and quickly swallowed the healing liquid,his wounds knitting together even more. Movement seemed to be the only thing keeping him alive at this point(healing not withstanding) so once done Belanor stepped north up into the next corridor.

OOC: ok,I rolled a natural 1 so Belanor is prone. Just assume he's going to try and get back up so make your AoO if that is what you're going to do.This could be the end of the match.

OOC: Attack of Opportunity: 9, a miss.

Belanor hit the ground hard but rolled away from the falling blade of Lam's polearm. As the elf quickly came to his feet he moved just outside the polearm's reach while grabbing at one of the small pouches at his side. It was time to show the other side of his skills. Belanor uttered a command word and triggered the magic within his supple black leather gloves and then uttered a few arcane syllables while tossing out a small stone. The stone ignited and soared at Lam like a fiery bullet.

She'd be expecting an arrow, not this. She stood startled as the flaming stone struck her in the midsection, forcing her back with its blazing heat and speed. By the spirits!

She pushed her back against the wall, taking cover around the corner as she tried to recover and adapt. She tapped her healing belt, feeling the hot pain of it wash away with refreshing icy cool. Now what would she do, against not just an archer but a fighting wujen?

Suddenly she jumped out of hiding, running around the corner and right at him. She laid out the weoldo out to the side, too big to use at such close range, but for that she still feet to kick with.

Belanor resigned himself to the fact that the fight was growing to a close, one way or another. When his opponent closed the distance the elf dropped his prized bow to the floor, the sound of clattering wood on stone echoed through the hall. Before the bow hit the floor, however, Belanor had drawn his long sword, the sound of metal ringing as it left it's sheath mixed with the echoing sound of the bow. The Ranger came across with an awkward cross slash with his blade which was easily deflected off Lam's armor.

Saellie was surprised by the change of weapon. "But isn't your specialty in archery, Belanor-ssi?" Shrugging, she also let her weoldo fall to the floor, now unarmed.

She raised her fists into a guarding block, then swiftly brought her leg up and pushed it out in a devastating front kick into the elf's chest

She was no good at dodging these flaming bullets, and the next one hit in the other shoulder. Gritting her teeth, she knew she had to finish this. She dropped suddenly to scoop up her weoldo, then danced forwards to wave the blade at the elf in a clumsy swing.

Belanor tried one last tactic. After uttering a quick incantation the young elf's hand began to glow a sickly green. With a grunt of pain from all his injuries Belanor swiped at Lam just missing the white haired woman.

She narrowly dodged that ki-draining hand, but she knew she couldn't risk being hit by another spell. She made a cautious attack, ready to whip back and deflect or dodge another spell.

Final Position: V17

The glow around Belanor's hand dissipated after his first attack with it causing him to attack once again with his longsword. The wounds and the loss of blood seemed to effect the elf as he missed with his strike. Belanor knew the time was almost over for this battle.

OOC: Damn, I realised I've been standing 5ft from you for a few rounds, though I missed each time, so no biggie.


Saellie danced back from the elf, holding her weoldo up in a guarding block. She rotated and spun the blade out in a cautious strike, a close miss. They were both badly injured, perhaps the first good blow could bring victory to one of the other.

Belanor stepped back completely exhausted, dropping his sword to the ground with a loud clattering of steel on stone. The elf reached back tohis quiver and drew out a short spear which looked entirely too large for the holder. With a grunt Belanor heaved the missile at Lam striking true.

Saellie yelled as the spear struck her, the point driving in deep. She almost thought that was it then and there, that the match was over and the spirits would carry her away.

But they didn't, she was still in this fight, as enduring as the mountains. Tapping her belt, she was flooded with the healing spirit, given new life and vigor as all the wounds closed. It was more than she'd expected.

Fresh again, she advanced on Belanor, putting him in range of her weoldo again.

"REALLY!?!?" Belanor yelled as he saw the wounds healed. Once again Belanor took off down the hall, he had no doubt this fight would be won by his opponent but he refused to go down without a fight.

Belanor took out his last potion and drank it down, his wounds grow even more closed but not healed completely.

"No, I can't say that I would." Saellie admitted, and resumed her chase. As soon as she was in range of the corner, she saw him around it, and thrust her weoldo forth in a perfect, automatic strike.

OOC: I'm guessing that's it? :(

Just as the potion bottle left his lips, the minor healing magic knitting together what superficial damage it could, Belanor realized his mistake. The elf knew his time was running short and Fate was running out of patience. The ranger's eyes went wide as the woman came around the corner. The arena was deathly quiet as the final moment was upon both combatants, the sound of the large blade sliding into Belanor's chest, the last gasp of breath escaping his lips mingled with the tinkle of broken glass from the dropped potion bottle. "Well......done....." escaped his lips as his lifeless form slid from the blade and landed in a heap at Lam's feet.

 OOC: Well played! I have to say we were very evenly matched and none of my characters have made it past the 10th round, good or bad, so good on ya!

"Chung seung!" Blue wins!

She felt that sense of surprise at the successful strike, at Belanor's fall, and then that rush of victory. She'd won! Yay!

Remembering her etiquette, she stepped over to the fallen elf, and took his hand, passing the last of her healing magic into him to revive him. Then she helped him up, shaking hands as she bowed. "Gamsahamnida. That was a good fight."


OOC: Me neither. I usually lose these things, and when I do win I'm usually outmatching the other. This was a very even contest that could have gone either way - Saellie was on 3 hp before she got that mega-healing. Well fought!
