Element ChampionFountain Arena

Element ChampionFountain Arena

02:55:00 Oct 22nd 07 - Mr. Sigheart:

It has been a long year since the last Elemental Championship, but the Championship Arena Complex did not show signs of age, but rather on the contrary - it grew, and along with it, just a hill and a spring with a weary wooden bridge over it away, grew the township...now more of a city...of Bren. The vicinity of the Arena has done it much good - apart from the great crowds -- and thusly business -- it brought it during the Championship itself, just the presence of such a building carried the township's name far over the lands. There came adventurers of many sorts, and the burgeoning four inns of Bren were never short of business, there came priests of the Elemental Lords, building shrines and churches and granting it divine protection not from one, but from all the Lords, and there came many, many artisans to maintain the three offshoot Arenas around the old one, and craft yet a fourth offshoot that hung high in the sky above the lot.

The would-be combatants, either just arriving, or having taken a night's rest either at an inn or at the small camp of tents at the base of the Arena hill, would get to see the artisans' handiwork soon enough, right after the priests and mages within them finish their last checks on the protective barriers and image transportation enchantments for the gathered crowds.

~~~

The gates opened with a slow and ominous shudder, finally cast wide for all to see within. Fountain Arena was open once more.

This arena's new setup took the form of a lazily rising steppe of circles, standing tall and proud with its accompanying beauty of fountains and shrubbery. The hill it had originally been made into had been cut away to create symmetry to the form, and create a more difficult defense of the high ground. The eye catching display of constant transmutation from the crowning fountain on the ninth, top step is mere eye-candy to spectators...but could easily be turned into an offensive threat by competitors of skill.

Even in the soothing scents and pleasant aromas of the plants placed so delicately on the battleground seem to hint at greater dangers. Their sweet smells hiding the sickly-sweet aftertaste of year-old blood newly dampened by fresh running water. Perhaps the same water that runs on the cobblestone path on the northern side of the structure that is pooling at the feet of all on the bottom level ever so slightly.

But now is not the time for beauty, nor for gardening. Now is the time for battle.

Under a summer sun and a shimmering magic veil, the fight was to begin at the Fountain Arena!

Contenders:
1.Lucias Septim
2.Patton
3.Erunion Telcontar
4.Gilth
5.Xiax

03:54:21 Oct 22nd 07 - Mr. Xiax:

*Xiax walks into the arena and readies his spirit for battle*

"The fire in my loins burns brightly, now is the time to release my power and shower all my enemies with my warm fertility!"

03:57:49 Oct 22nd 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim appears and begins his meditation

04:21:40 Oct 22nd 07 - Sir Patton:

*Patton walks into his side of the stadium and studies the other combatants, he then thrusts his sword into the ground and kneels down before it and begins intoning a prayer in Solamnic.*

14:49:03 Oct 22nd 07 - Sir Patton:

*As Patton continues to pray, a soft white light seems to glow from him. Continuing his prayers, he rises from the ground and removes his sword. He waits for his opponents to make their first move.*

(Patton casts 'Bless' on self. Raising chances to hit and to dodge/block incoming physical attacks)

15:32:21 Oct 22nd 07 - Mr. Xiax:

*Xiax places his hands on the ground and mutters a few arcane words. The earth shoots up from the ground, striking at every part of his body, but Xiax seems to just absorb it all, and in the process strengthen his skin with the power of the earth.*

"Heh"

(If you want a name just say I casted earthen armour on myself.)

18:11:07 Oct 22nd 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

Walking in to the arena, Erunion wonders;
"What in the light have I done to deserve this bunch of misfits!"
Shaking his head, Erunion flickers, his armour appearing on him. Then a wall of fire blazes around him for a brief moment, then dissipates into the air.

Erunion has cast Wall of Fire, which will activate when a solid object attempts to get close. (Don't worry, it'll fry arrows, and scorch people, but it's only a delay/annoy defense, to hurt and blind people before a come at them with my forearm/shin spikes. Or a fireball...)

18:24:11 Oct 22nd 07 - Sir Patton:

*Patton observes everyone putting up their defenses as he finishes his second prayer. His armor begins to have a soft, white glow all on its own. He continues to bide his time as he begins a third prayer*

(Patton has cast Holy Armor adding a 5% resistance to elemental spells but reinforces his current armor by 3 points)

18:47:56 Oct 22nd 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

Observing Patton, Erunion decides it's best to get ready.

Erunion stares at the air, his eyes glazing over...

After a few minutes, Erunion has cast Magic Protection. All spells will be harder to cast on Erunion.

{OOC: Funny, both the spells I've cast so far have, at one point in time, been part of VU...}

23:18:00 Oct 22nd 07 - Sir Patton:

*Patton finishes his third prayer and his shield's emblem (A Platinum Dragon) seems to come to life, flapping its wings and looking like its ready to strike. With that, Patton brings his fingers to his lips and whistles, from out of the aethers a warhorse appears next to him and he climbs on top of it..*

(Patton has cast 'Embue Shield', allowing him to block direct spell attacks (i.e. Fire Arrow, Acid Arrow, Holy Bolt, Ice Bolt, etc.) as if they were physical attacks. 25% chance to do so.)

(Second action was the Paladin's summon warhorse ability.)

23:27:21 Oct 22nd 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim raises his head and looks up, his eyes shining a light blue that seems to capture the soul. He rises and draws his blade, it is now shining blue.

(This spell protects the user from blindness and gives his blade the power of ice, the blade will now freeze anything except it's sheath and the caster)

23:55:17 Oct 22nd 07 - Mr. Gilth:

Gilth wasn't amused by the sight of the arena, to much wet water. He would have to stay clear of that. A heavy cape wouldn't realy help. And although the high ground wasn't the perfect spot, it was definatley better then where he currently was.
After securing his daggers one last time, he made a high leap, imediately getting on the second step. While in the air he could see the some other contenders. They definately seemed though, but they weren't moving at all...

00:16:34 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Sigheart:

Suddenly a a flash from the the 9th circle of the garden that blinded the contestants eye's for a moment, then finally a stout man came out. He was dressed in all 8 Elemental Colors, obviously one of the referees of the tournament.

He spoke in suprisingly shrill voice " All of you are the best of your respective element, you have come here because the gods have chosen you for your ability to fight and win."

He stared imperiously down at each of them. Finally he continued " Many millineums ago the gods chose this to be the way that they would decide who gained power from year to year. So remember this is not only a battle of glory but also a powerstruggle of the gods"

He paused again before finally continuing " This is a Battle Royale everything and anything goes. Finally this 9th circle will teleport you to the next stadium where you shall battle there. It shall only open when there is only 4 standing. These lucky few shall continue on the next battle. Also it seems we have a late comer. Tsk Tsk Verll punctuality is the key to success"

With these final words the man dissapeared.

Updates:

Xiax: Your speech wierded some of the contestants out a bit but nothing else. Charms succesful.

Patton: All charms are succesful. I'll choose at what spell level Embue Shield is unsuccseful.

Erunion: The charms are succesful. All alterations used on your person will be less succesful, spells used to hurt you will stay the same(effect user's will be crying now).

Spetim: Succesful charm.

Gilth: You gain a good view of the surrounding area and note that in one spot is a small statue shaped like a falcon.

00:59:45 Oct 23rd 07 - Sir Patton:

*Patton rears his warhorse up and begins to move towards Septim.*

"A blade of magic and eyes to match... let us see what happens when the magic fails you."

*Patton raises his sword up and incants a quick spell, sending the small white bolt at Septim.*

(Patton has cast 'Dispel Magic', he's got a shot at dispelling all magical effects on Septim currently)

03:45:42 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Xiax:

*Xiax starts dancing, moving his arms and feet in unison while humming an ancient monastic hymn. As his tempo speeds up, any observers start feeling a stirring in their loins and a faint mist of lust start to cloud their eyes.*

07:25:51 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

Erunion Ignores Xiax, staying away from the center he starts to concentrate his powers, whilst casting Eye in the Sky upon the battlefield.

14:10:22 Oct 23rd 07 - Sir Patton:

*Patton's focused on Septim, Xiax is ignored*

14:48:36 Oct 23rd 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim kneels on the ground.

"I thought we weren't fighting yet...sabotage!!!"

*Septim creates a mountain of Ice Cubes over Fizban.

14:52:57 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Xiax:

(OOC: If people can ignore me like that does that mean that if I say they didn't ignore me then they wouldn't be able to?)

*Xiax continues dancing*

15:36:12 Oct 23rd 07 - Sir Verll:

*Verll walks in and takes a quick look at the Arena. He then proceed to find a shadow under a big tree and sits down. He starts to observationally watch his enemies, learning their strengths and weaknesses.

(gives him a bonus when fighting, makes him better to dodge and inflict damage)

16:23:09 Oct 23rd 07 - Sir Patton:

*Patton looks up as he sends his warhorse straight into Septim*

"An area effect spell at close range eh? You're not immune... and I'm on a horse"

*Paton slams right into Septim, taking a hard slash at him before speeding past him, coming around for another pass.*

(I want a save for partial damage, due to the fact that I was riding on a horse and moving away from the brunt of the impact when I was going right at him when he casts this 'mountain' of ice cubes, unless it was a direct spell, then you can factor in my shield spell. As for Septim, I'm calling for blunt damage for being run over by a horse, and a slash attack from the Holy Avenger sword.)

(Xiax, if I wasn't looking at you, then I'm not looking at you. Verll, however, did look around the arena, so I'm sure he would've 'seen' you. Gilith is at a high vantage point, so he may have seen you, and Erunion is using EITS, so a chance to 'see' you, unless he's actively ignoring your presence in the spell (Sig's discretion))

16:26:40 Oct 23rd 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

(I didn't know we were fighting! NOBODY YELLED FIGHT!!!)

*Septim took the blow in his left arm and grunted, but he is used to pain from his several campaigns as a battlemage and managed to turn around in time to deliver a slash to Fizban's horse.

(It should turn the horse's leg into ice!)

16:39:51 Oct 23rd 07 - Sir Verll:

[OOC] I'm immune to lust :p lol I dunno...I have that ring on me.....bah let Sig decide.

16:40:34 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Gilth:

(OOC: We'll have to wait for sigheart to know who got influenced by Xiax' dancemoves. I don't really think its fair though, to have a move that influences every player on the field (my opinion) And I probably haven't seen the moves, you started dancing after I landed and my next post shouldn't come anywhere near you.
And what has a fire type warrior (Erunion) to do with an Eye in the SKY :p)

*Suddenly, Gilth noticed a small fountain. It was certainly shaped like some sort of bird, but because Gilth had to check all directions, he couldn't distinguish the special traits.*

"A bird in a water coloseum," He said to himself, "I'll have to check that out."

*Gilth starts moving towards the area where he spotted the statue, trying to keep low, he probably already had drawn some attention with his movement, it would be better to stay atleast a bit covered by statues.*

16:43:09 Oct 23rd 07 - Sir Patton:

(Um, if Dispel Magic went through, it won't happen homie. Everything I do, I do for a reason. Also, have you ever been run over by a horse? You're going to do more than grunt if the thing hits you.)

The blow falls on the war horse's barding (it'll turn it into ice if the spell is still active) and the horse continues to move. Patton turns back towards Septim and raises his sword in the air and mutters a quick spell, swinging his sword down until its pointed at Septim, sending a bolt of holy light his way. Patton then charges in once more.

(Missle-spell 'Holy Bolt'. This will strike him for light damage, and if he was of evil/dark alignment it will score extra damage.)

19:06:03 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

FYI; If the EITS is a success, there will be a moving black circle on it where Xiax is, as I'm purposefully blocking him.
Also, EITS is an easy, generic spell.

19:18:00 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Xiax:

(OOC: Why would you actively block me Erunion unless you have seen my dance moves? But you wouldn't have much idea what they did anyways unless you already experienced their effects.)

19:27:50 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

{OOC: I glanced at them, and before the effect had gone beyond minimal I realized what you were doing.}

20:00:11 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Xiax:

(OOC: Oh suure... now you say it... And it would be too late after you saw it anyways to stop it's effects.)

20:09:14 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

{OOC: Then it's overpowered... If a 2 second glance out of the corner of an eye gives full effects...

20:39:21 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Xiax:

(OOC: When it's full effects are that you feel a stirring in your loins, and some lust, I'm not sure how much more there is to it after the initial sighting.)

20:41:48 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

{OOC: True, true... But I saw it just as you were starting up, before the power came to be more than minimal. Sorry if that wasn't clear...}

20:47:49 Oct 23rd 07 - Lord Guderian:

...{OOC} Let Sigheart decide...

Nuff said...

21:33:00 Oct 23rd 07 - Sir Verll:

[OOC] um...Xiax....you do know that if that spell made us ..um.."lusty", that we would have to come after the one who made us "lusty"..so soon, you would be chased by three guys that would want to "play" with you....and that could be directly unpleasant.

21:53:42 Oct 23rd 07 - Sir Patton:

(He's got a plan, I hope)

22:44:34 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Xiax:

(OOC: Yeah... plan.... *Xiax grabs nearest woman from the spectator stands*)

22:55:39 Oct 23rd 07 - Sir Verll:

[OOC] I won't mind now....but you can't attack while we are "playing" you know......that would just be perverse....

23:31:20 Oct 23rd 07 - Mr. Sigheart:

Wow I'm glad you guys chose the second way of updating or you'd already be at each others head.

Septim: Some of your icecube*beep* the rump and leg of Patton's horse veering it off course. As such you only get hit slightly by Pattons sword but you don't even touch his horse because you got slightly confused by Xiax's song. Most of your icecubes on the other hand start to roll down the hill. Soon it's become a mini-avalanche and it heads toward one of the other contestants......

Patton: You only barely touch Septim because the icecube*beep* your horse in the rump causing onlwith the tip of your sword causing only a small cut. Xiax's doesn't effect you because your focusing on Septim. But Dispell spell doesn't work because you couldn't get a clear shot at Septim. Your horse continues to charge though straight toward Verll.

Verll: Your bonus doesn't work. You feel a little sleepy though because of Xiax's dancing and because you're under an apple tree. You close your eye's for a second and before you know it Patton is charging you acting quickly you....

Gilth: You read the enscription on the bird statue it says "Fly you High" By Gilliad the Hurrican. Suddenly a gust of wind breaks through the reef. It's not any kind of wind, you've felt it only a few times in your life. When you were closest to the Celestial Realm.

Xiax: A few contestants are slightly effected by what you do but not really. In fact what is your abilities?

Remember use the enviroment to your advantage. Also think your attacks through if you do it intelligently you can make an extremely powerful attack.

00:04:04 Oct 24th 07 - Sir Verll:

Verll awakens by something hitting him in the head. The thing falls down in his lap and he sees it is a apple. He looks up and sees that Patton is charging him. He stands up in front of the tree and waits until the charge is close enough. Right before he is about to be trampled he sidesteps as fast as he(remember, as swift as the wind) can and avoids the charge, cause and in one swift motion draws his knife and slices at the horse's flank

00:05:33 Oct 24th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

Seeing the charge of Patton pass Septim by, distracting Septim, Erunion puts his hands together, and a brief Stream of Fire shoots towards Septim.

00:25:31 Oct 24th 07 - Mr. Sigheart:

Update for Erunion only

Erunion Telcontar: As Erunion looks at the arena through his eye in the sky he notices something shocking. The mini-avalanche started by Septim is heading for you! It takes a second to stop the eye in the sky. But the avalanche is almost upon you quickly you....

00:25:54 Oct 24th 07 - Mr. Gilth:

*When Gilth got closer to the statue, he could see it was a sculpture of a falcon. One of the fastest birds known on 'earth'. As soon as he got to the statue, Gilth read the small inscription: "Fly you High" By Gilliad the Hurrican. An immediate gust breaks through and embodies Gilth with a feeling of power. This was amazing, when he entered the arena, Gilth felt bad, but now, he was in a better shape then he could've ever required with training and he didn't even had to do anything for it. But his nice thoughts quickly faded, if there was an Air relic here, there would be others too, they would have to be destroyed. Gilth would create a huge advantage if he was the only one with the unlocked powers.
He went for another leap, but this time, he wasn't aiming for lvl 3, although he would need to get to lvl 9 in the end. He released the cape and used his force to remain airborn as long as possible, to scout for other artifacts. Right after he made the jump, Gilth could feel the aid of the wind. he was faster and his airtime was more stable*

"This could be fun." he said to himself.

[OOC: When scouting, I would clearly see Xiax dancing. Ofcourse I don't know what else I would see, though if I spot something that looks interesting, I would probably imediately head to that place instead of looking around more and exposing myself.]

00:31:52 Oct 24th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

Sir Patton

Report

10/23/2007 8:43:09 AM

(My guy is like...Indiana Jones! HE CANNOT BE HURT BY MERE HORSES!!!)

*Septim flies backwards and lands on the ground, he slowly gets up in time to create a continuous wall of ice with one arm that the fire cannot get through while using his other arm to send a volley of ice chunks over the wall.

02:32:49 Oct 24th 07 - Sir Patton:

*Verll's slashes meet with non-frozen horse barding. Patton looks at this man who brought a knife to a swordfight and then smirks. Judging his speed Patton smiles and lifts his hand up. A ball of light forms in his hand and from it a ray shoots out moving (at the speed of light, duh. ;-) ) right at Verll.*

(Patton casts sunbeam, light (heat/fire) damage will be dealt to Verll)

03:18:21 Oct 24th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

Erunion, seeing the avalanche heading towards him, quickly turned the stream of fire towards, it, ran to the side and put all his strength into a wall of fire only facing the avalanche. Erunion's loping run quickly ate up the distance...

03:18:57 Oct 24th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

{OOC: Thanks for the update... Now I just have to concentrate on running through an avalanche...}

03:42:15 Oct 24th 07 - Mr. Xiax:

[OOC: My abilities are derived mostly from my element and class. There are I think two aspects of the earthen element. One is that of life and fertility as the earth nurtures all life (ex. I might be able to grow a tree out of nowhere or increase my own strength or cause base emotions to well up in others). The other is of strength and endurance, the image of rocks and metals enters the mind in this aspect, imparting it's strength on it's wielder (ex. I might be able to strengthen my body against attacks or may be able to summon giant rocks to be launched at other people). And of course I'm a hand to hand fighter.]

*Xiax stops danceing after a while and tries to intercept Gilth as he climbs the platform.*

05:39:02 Oct 24th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim places all of his energy into the avalanche, creating a stalemate.

19:06:48 Oct 24th 07 - Sir Verll:

[OOC] What about your horse that rode right on a tree?

20:34:01 Oct 24th 07 - Sir Patton:

(ooc: Um, homie, where did this tree come from, and do you really THINK that any knight worth his weight in steel would charge right in the direction of a tree? I say that's borderline god-modding there, creating a tree out of nowhere and then saying that I ride right into it.)
