[PP-F1] Clash of Blades [Tournament]

[Ruri 0]

She laughed at his miss as afterward she tried to strike him again, this was no longer so fun to her but a win or lose, kind of moment.

Battledice: 3

Damage: Miss.

Ruri Hp = [5/10]

Saix Hp = [7/10]

[Saix 0]

A quick twist of the head was enough to evade her counter strike as he tensed his shoulder and reversed the previous strike, bringing it down in a quick overhand slash from shoulder to hip that barely missed.

Battledice: 5

Damage: 0

Ruri Hp = [5/10]

Saix Hp = [7/10]

[Ruri 0]

At this point it was fail after fail for the two damaging each other, so she tried to save it from being an hour until one player failed. She tried to strike once again...

Battledice: 8

Damage: 1

Ruri Hp = [5/10]

Saix Hp = [6/10]

[Saix 0]

So she broke their little stalemate first eh? He was fine with that, so long as it meant that they could determine a winner. Rolling his shoulder up and out, he countered with a quick sharp thrust to the chest that proved ineffectual.

Battledice: 2 = Miss

Damage: 0

Ruri Hp = [5/10]

Saix Hp = [6/10]

[Ruri 0]

She tried her best to hit him again, breaking the stalemate again, hopefully, She tried again...

Battledice: 6

Damage: 1

Ruri Hp = [5/10]

Saix Hp = [5/10]

[Saix 0]

Again he accepted the hit without pausing, ignoring the would be pain, before countering with a quick and vicious thrust that again was dodged. He didn't feel as though he were in any real danger of losing, yet, but if his luck didn't turn soon he would be in dire straights. After all, one never knew when a critical hit would change the entire game.

Battledice: 4

Damage: 0

Ruri Hp = [5/10]

Saix Hp = [5/10]

[Ruri 0]

She grinned at his health as she aimed for another good attack, she was being favored here.. It was very fair to her, and not so much to the opposing side. She grinned as she started to attack, once again.

Battledice: 4

Damage: 0

Ruri Hp = [5/10]

Saix Hp = [5/10]

[Saix 0]

The fates certainly weren't smiling on anyone in particular today, she might have landed a few more hits, but he had landed some fairly nice critical blows of his own. But something needed to give soon, because these constant misses were taking all the fun out of the duel. Switching his tactics he brought his sword back and twisted at the hips and slashed in a quick horizontal sweep that left a red gash across her pixelated belly. It was about damn time.

Battledice: 10 = Critical

Damage: 2

Ruri Hp = [3/10]

Saix Hp = [5/10]

[Ruri 0]

She tried to ignore the pain as she tried to hurt him getting a large critical, hopefully.

Battledice: 6

Damage: 1

Ruri Hp = [3/10]

Saix Hp = [4/10]

[Saix 0]

Unwilling to dwell on how close the battle was becoming at the end, Saix spun on a heel, bringing the sword in quick and snapping out an attack that would crack the pommel of his sword across her face in a quick backhand stroke that would have left a real person spitting teeth, if only it had connected. Damn it, this again?

Battledice: 4

Damage: 0

Ruri Hp = [3/10]

Saix Hp = [4/10]

[Ruri 0]

She giggled at the attack again. "Wow." She said as she started to get back on track, as she attacked again. "Damnit," She spoke as she failed the attack.

Battledice: 4

Damage: 0 (dodge

Ruri Hp = [3/10]

Saix Hp = [4/10]

[Saix 0]

A quick roll of the shoulder turned the missed pommel strike into a quick stab at the gut that planted his blade several inches into the digital body cavity. This time he savored the strike, giving the blade a hard twist, before retracting his sword.

Battledice: 9 (critical)

Damage: 2

Ruri Hp = [1/10]

Saix Hp = [4/10]

[Ruri 0]

She tried to catch up health wise, but by that point she had given in. She Attacked for her (Most likely) last time in the arena..

Battledice: 6

Damage: 1

Ruri Hp = [1/10]

Saix Hp = [3/10]

[Saix 0]

Retracting the blade, Saix spun on a heel, bringing the sword in close and striking out in a quick backhand, again trying to slam the pommel of the sword home in a teeth rattling blow to the mouth.

Battledice: 4

Damage: 0

Ruri Hp = [1/10]

Saix Hp = [3/10]

[Ruri 0]

She tried to attack again, hoping not to get a beating with the opponents sword.

Battledice: 6

Damage: 1

Ruri Hp = [1/10]

Saix Hp = [2/10]

[Saix 0]

Now things were really exciting, each fighter had a sliver of health left, it could go either way on the edge of a blade. Stepping forward he thrust, gambling victory on this, possibly, final attack...

-dramatic pause-

And his blade found flesh, penetrating into the gut and dealing that all important final tick of damage.

Wait, had he won?

Battledice: 6

Damage: 1

Ruri Hp = [0/10]

Saix Hp = [2/10]

[Ruri 0]

She high-fived Saix. "Congratulations, Good Game." She spoke to him. "You are good at fighting, maybe we should train each other at some point from here." She then stood there to wait for something new to happen.

[Saix 0]

Saix returned the high-five enthusiastically before giving her a quick salute with the sword. "That was a good fight, especially there at the end, it could have gone either way." He said in response with a grin. "I'd like that, we should have a friendly duel every now and again, to see how far we come."

[Daeron 1]

Daeron stepped in front of the two players, announcing that the fight had finally ended. "Congratulations to Saix, he will be going on to the next round either facing Swift or Grim in his next battle. Go ahead and rest up. Both combatants did an excellent job, and I salute to you guys being good sports." Daeron said.

"Now, as for the next battle. I have contacted the next set of players, but one is currently unavailable. We will move on to the next group, but we WILL get back to them, so fear not, they will not be skipped." Daeron said as he reached into the hat to draw the next two names. "Alright, the next combatants to battle are Shanok.... and.... Myself." he says in surprise. Daeron steps down to the arena, and readies his weapon with Shanok, equipping the "Challenger's Ring".

"Good Luck" Daeron says to Shanok shaking hands with the fellow guild member he is about to battle.

Player with highest combat dice roll, gets first strike. This post counts for my own.

(I am using my Sepulcher's Blade, meaning I have 11 Health from the health boost (I divided it by 2 and added it), then it deals 1 extra damage per hit, and gives me +1 on combat dice. See my signature for a neater version of it.)

Daeron [11/11]

Shanok [10/10]

[Shanok 0]

Shanok draws his sword and gets in his battle position, ready to take on Daeron. "The sword you made me is going to be what defeats you!" said Shanok to Daeron.

Daeron : 11/11

Shanok : 10/10
