You aren't allowed to wait. You can make a weak attack and then get back as quickly as possible, but no waiting.

*Wraith drives the sword up through the air, to meet with Plague's face, giving him a scar all the left side of his face, blinding him(Not permanantely, but until the end of the fight) just as he was leaping back, which causes him to put his hands to his face in pain, distracting him from the fight. Wraith stumbles as he does this however, and trips and falls to the ground, widening the cut on his leg. He scrambles back up, and stumbles back.*

Wow the blind version fights better than the normal version of you... xD

Sorry, just couldn't resist. =P

wow

(4 days of being blind, decause you haven't wiped the blood off)

lol, i had done my action and i still had one eye not full of blood and reacted as soon as possible. so i guesse its killer to see if i hit/killed him.

so does that means he is dead? because this is what i posted

Sir Plague


5/8/2008 2:52:58 PMPlague reacts as soon as wraith gets up and grabs his sword arm and tries to stab him in his lungs.

Eh emmm... I thought Wraith would continue on. One of you will die today... So just post your last moves...

Oh right yeah...

*Plague tries to hit Wraith, but is blinded with pain in his eye. He stumbles back, narrowly missing a blow from Wraith.*

damn wraith where did you get sir from!

Thanks Bruaint. Must have come from the 2 or 3 Rps we did. And I got 2 points, not even just 1. =D

And Plague... I'll just wait for Killer to decide. ^^

Mr. Killer Report 5/12/2008 8:09:27 PM	Oh right yeah... *Plague tries to hit Wraith, but is blinded with pain in his eye. He stumbles back, narrowly missing a blow from Wraith.*
Sir Wraith 5/12/2008 8:27:22 PM	Wraith follows up his miss with a series of stabs with the sword and slashes with the dagger. He stabs slightly to the right of Plague, assuming that he will jump the other way and slashes in that direction.

Btw Plague, I hope you remember that your accuracy is only 4...

*As Plague rolls back, Wraith gets in a slash at him, giving him a deep woundm through his belly across the top of his leg at the other side. Plague misses by a mile with the dagger, but manages to kick Wraith. Plague jumps on top of Wraith, and starts to press Wraiths blades (Swords?) together while holding them himself. Wraith gets a knee slightly free, and knees Plague in the belly. He pushes Plague away, and stabs him near the throat. Plague gets away, but falls to the, ground dieing from his loss of blood and wounds. Wild cheers and applause is the last noise Plague hears.*

Wraith staggers upright as he sees Plague's life sap out of him. Unable to believe his luck at this he lifted his hand in the air. A cheer erupted from the stadium as he did so and Wraith took one long, final look at his opponent. It had been a good fight but in the end, there could only be one victor.

Wraith limped dazed off the battle field after collecting his new found weapons, leaving him with a dagger, a knife and a sword. (I think)

*Might faces the Clingonian soldier. He stands motionless, as the Clingonian soldier charges at him. At the last moment, he hurls himeslf out of the way on to the ground, avoiding death, but knocks his head against a rock, knocking him unconcious. The Clingonian soldier pummels Might, and stabs him repeatedly, but not even the Clingonians stand for such violence, and he is shot down by crossbowmen, and falls on top of Might's corpse.*

Bows ARE based on accuracy, you just need strength to pull them back(though you could pull them back far enough anyway...). I'll be making a new bow(and other weapons, troops and animals) for next round if you get that far.

Basic stats is the stats shown on the first page for races. Un-equipped means they don't have anything equipped, but you can equip them. Errr... elephants aren't as difficult to ride, but are more expensive because... well... they're harder to get.

Yeah, I think so.

I have one request. Can I spend some money to get my strength up 2 levels so I can use a Yew Longbow please? Or even just 1 level for Willow Greatbow.. :)

Ah well. I tired.. Thanks  :)

I'll post tomorrow please, lol

Wraith walked into the arena loaded with all his weapons, with his newly bought horse, whom he named Loki, at his side. He stood his ground as he saw three huge guardians enter. Two of them marched in, bows raised while the third strode in upon a horse.

Wraith cringed as he saw how he was outnumbered but stood tall and firm. He pulled out his bow and strung an arrow, aiming at the mounted rider. His enemies saw this and chuckling, the two on foot pulled out their bows simultaneously. Wraith held his breath as he let loose the arrow. His arrow flew straight but a slight breeze nudged it of course striking the rider in the right shoulder.

The rider roared and dropped his sword. The other guardians yelled and let loose their arrows. One flew completely off track while the other just clipped Wraith's left arm, forging a shallow cut down his arm. Wincing, Wraith strung another bow and this time aimed at a different target. However, the guardians drew their bows and grinned evily at Wraith while the mounted rider unsheathed his sword. The three of them let loose their arrows at the same moment.

One arrow hit Wraith in the leg.  Another arrow hit the sand twenty metres behind him. However, Wraith's arrow flew straight. He smirked as he saw the arrow hit its mark. The horse reared in pain, neighing wildly, as the arrow penetrated its neck. The horse fell onto one of the guardians while the rider's leg was trapped under the horse.

Wraith hopped lightly onto Loki and drew his sword in one hand, the reins in his other. With a yell, he charged at the standing soldier who drew his sword as he saw Wraith bearing upon him.

With a clash, their sword*beep* each other and Wraith swung swiftly and powerfully at his foe, who blocked it using the superior reach of his sword. Wraith swung again and his horse reared on its hind legs kicking out and hitting his opponent in the chest and forcing him to double up. As his horse calmed down, Wraith swung at the Guardian, cutting his neck. He dropped to the ground, panting as his life sapped away from him.

Wraith hopped off his horse as his foes got free of the dead horse's corpse. They were both badly injured, the former rider with wounds to the shoulder and a crushed leg, while the other guardian had crushed his right arm and leg.

Wraith drew his bow again and let loose another arrow, striking the former rider in the chest again. Wheezing, he dropped his sword and fell limply to the ground. The remaining guardian drew his sword and moved slowly towards Wraith, who drew his own sword and shield and advanced on his final foe. When they got closer the guardian let out a roar and swung at Wraith, who only just managed to block with the shield. Wraith's hand shook with the force of the swing and he dropped the shield in pain.

The Guardian swung at him and Wraith jumped to the side and put his foot on the flat side of the blade to hold it down. He tried to swing with his sword but the guardain grabbed his wrist and pulled Wraith close to him, breathing into his face. Wraith desperately tried to break free and, grabbing his knife, stabbed his foe in the neck. Feeling the grip loosen on him, he swung again with the sword and stabbed again and again until he crashed to the ground.

With a dazed feeling of relief, Wraith whistled to Loki and, covered in blood, they limped out of the arena amongst cheering from the crowd.

Once more, waiting patiently in the equipment room. As he has proven himself on a number of occasions, he has won the rights of a servant. in silence, bruiants manservant, a lowly troll was quickly, tieing on the leather straps to his armour, and sheates to his belts. As the servant did this, bruiant readied his weapons, stowing away his steel shortsword for close combat, sheating his longsword for easy reach, and hooking the shield over his back, he was almost ready. once his armour was tied, Bruiant tied his quiver to his left thigh in weak knots, able to be dropped in the slightest tug. dropping his bow over a hook in his right tigh, he was set. the signal horns of the arena bleared, calling him forth. his manservent having done all he could, backed off to the walls. turning from him, Bruiant makes his way to the slatted doors, stopping only to grab one of his three javelins. heavily laden, Bruiant crosses the threshold, and into the arena, amongst cheers and roaring spectators. This time, Bruiant was begining as a ranged fighter, so he stayed close to the edge he entered, giving him enough space to atleast throw his spear and loose a fair amount of arrows.
Now, we waited for his opponent to enter.

Wraith, is it just me, or do you love killing your enemies with a blow to the neck? :D thanks wraith and killer for the arrows :D

i will post next in 2-3 hrs

damn, you copied me with a manservant troll :D

"growing anxious of the thunderous pounding, bruiant grasped his javelin tighter. emerging from the opposite slatted tunnels emerged a beast unknown to Bruiant. twice the size of any human, and large tusks, long enough to gouge out the intestines of all whom shall oppose such a mighty beast. Ant turned the rhino toward him, grinning evily, as he thought he struck an easy victory. kicking in his heels, he set the rhino into a charge. thinking fast, bruiant shifted the weight between his feet, javelin raised high. shifting weight again, he swung with all of his power, and as accurate as he could, let loose the javelin, aiming for its neck, to cripple it. without even looking to see if the javelin hit, he dropped to one knee, grasping his bow, and clutching greedily for an arrow strapped to his left thigh."
wait for killer to say what happens to the rhino. i wasent trying to be unfair in killing it. i just merely want to cripple it, so its either unridable for this round, or hindered, so it cant run at me.

*Death was struck with the javelin, and reared in pain. Ant was thrown off of the rhino, and the rhino charged crazily in every which way. Ant tried in vain to calm it, but to no avail. Death ran towards Bruaint, who jumped out of the way in time, just about. Death charged at Antio, who stopped him with his formidable strength, knocking him aside. But this angered Death only more, and he started to charge at Ant.*
