Preliminary Round Match 8: Sehr Warkic vs. Andras Kaer

An older man with gray hair, wearing black pants, a white shirt and a red bowtie is standing in the middle of the tile floor of the arena awaiting Sehr and Andras.

A large minotaur slowly makes his way towards the referee. He has a couple leather straps around his shoulder and is wearing a pair of leather shorts. He wields a large iron battle axe. I am Sehr, where is my opponent? asks the large minotaur. One of his horns has a few chips on it and he has a few scars on his chest which shows that he has been in a lot of battles prior to the one that was going to happen soon.

Andras slowly makes his way to the center of the arena as well. He seems a little giddy and burps a couple of times. He just has his clothes and doesn't seem to have any weapons on him at all. He gets to Sehr and the referee guy and says. Ahm ready to kick some ass, if yer may opponent, I got two words for yah! Get ready! *Hic* He then puts up his fists and backs up to the distance that they are supposed to be from each other.

The referee motions for both Sehr and Andras to stand where they are supposed to and once they are both there he speaks.  The only real rules here are to stop fighting if your opponent is unconscious or gives up. If you say that you give up, you immediately lose. Also, please note that the sphere around the fighting area is magic and will repel you if you come into contact with it so try not to. Now make sure to stay still as the arena will now morph and the only places that are guaranteed safe are the starting points and a spot for me.

After saying this the referee moves back, this time he moves a bit towards Sehr and then the tile starts seeming to transform. It becomes a rocky texture with small circular holes in the rock, the terrain is rather uneven and suddenly it splits diagonally in the cutting the floor in half. Lava starts to bubble up and the crowd cheers. Around the edge of the whole floor the ground drops down and lava forms a 10 yard across pit that effectively makes the battle area 80 yards by 80 yards. The lava between Andras and Sehr is about 5 yards across with some large rough stepping stones that will make it easy to get from one side to the other, but would make it a less than ideal and very dangerous fighting area. After the area finishes changing the referee motions and yells Begin Fight!

As soon as the referee signals for them to begin Sehr rushes forward, his battleaxe held up so that if Andras charges at him he is prepared to slash down at him and cleave him. He gets to the lava and jumps onto a stepping stone. He can feel the uncomfortable heat from the lava and realizes that this is indeed real. He hesitates where he is to make sure that his opponent can't rush him and push him into the lava.

Andras actually steps back a couple of steps so his opponent can cross over and past the lava. He kneels down and reaches both hands into the rock where he sees a fracture. He attempts to break the chunk of rock of to use as a weapon as he was unarmed and his opponent was not. He was hoping that the opponent would not be able to get to him before Andras could prepare himself and get back into a fighting stance.

(The roll is to see if he succeeds ripping the rock off)

(He succeeds, I know it's a lower roll, but 5 or lower would have been a fail. I might be being to generous there but I dunno.)

Seeing an opening as Andras backs up and then bends down, Sehr charges forward, jumping onto Andras' side of the lava flow. He then charges Andras as quickly as he can, raising up his axe and trying a full downward slash aimed at Andras. If the strike hit it would really build confidence at least for this fight, for Sehr. Normally Sehr would bellow out as he attacked, but in this case, to a certain degree, Sehr wanted to be a bit quieter in case Andras is totally oblivious.

As Sehr raises his fearsome battle ax above his head and begins to lower it, trying to chop into Andras, Andras dives to the side awkwardly trying to avoid the attack. As he dives and is falling, he waits for Sehr to follow through to hit the ground with his ax and at that time he throws the rock at Sehr. He is trying to hit him in the hands to get him to drop the battle ax. If all goes right Andras might be able to steal Sehr's ax and use it for himself.

(-15 stamina, -5 health from dodge)

(Dice roll is to see the aim?)

(no need for a roll on that one.)

Sehr is surprised that Andras does the kind of dodge that he does and smirks as it shows to Sehr that Andras knows that he is outmatched. Then he notices the rock and due to his own attack he is unable to do much to dodge. The rock hits him right in the knuckles. Sehr bellows in pain as the rock hits his hands causing him to drop his battle ax and hold his hand in pain.


(-6 health from rock)

Andras crashes into the ground from having dove and watches as the rock hits his opponent in the hands and causes Sehr to drop the battleaxe. Andras scrambles as quickly as he can in an attempt to get to the battle ax before Sehr gets it. Again, if all went well his battle strategy will have paid off to the tune of one battle ax which incidentally would reverse the whole battle and arm him while his opponent would be unarmed.

Sehr looks in aggravation and then in fear as he sees Andras make a play to get his battle ax from him for his own use. Sehr reaches down and tries to grab a hold of it as well. They both grab onto it and Sehr tries to pull it out of Andras' grasp to avoid having his opponent gain his own weapon which not only would be highly disadvantageous but would also by extremely humiliating to have happen in the Tournament.

(It comes down to strength and Andras is stronger so you can wrench it away at a cost of 5 stamina)

Sensing that Sehr was either weaker than him or holding back his strength for some reason Andras yanks as hard as he can in an attempt to wrench the axe free from Sehr. After he does so he quickly takes a step back before drawing back Sehr's axe. Prepare yerself for a good old uchldir buttwhoopin'! After he finishes saying this he swings the axe down diagonally from left to right in an attempt to cleave deep into Sehr.

Sehr has to dive to the side to avoid the attack from Andras. He puts his hands in a t shape and yells out, I give up, just keep that freak away from me. And give me my axe back when the match is officially called. Sehr is embarrassed but right now he has decided that this was one case where digression was the better part of valor as he didn't have any spells to rely on to get him out of this mess.
