conversations.value: Shadow_Elf: As Maria and Wulfric step through the massive Gold Doors, they enter an ornate dueling stadium room that has been overgrown with a beautiful garden. A shadow in the corner giggles like a little girl, but when it speaks, it is with the voice of a grown man.  Greetings, semifinalists! I am called The Gardener, an Exarch of the Forbidden One, and I am also responsible for the, ah, decor, in here.  He giggles again.  This shall take the same format as your previous matches - good luck to both of you, and may the better duelist win! 
  
  Their dueldisks are drawn away by vines - they are not needed in here. Platforms raise up below each duelist, and they realize the platforms are held up entirely by animated plants. A holoboard comes to life in the centre, and initiative is randomized, cards drawn. The Gardener giggles.  Let the games... begin! 
  
  ((This thread is for the semifinalist duel betwixt Mercenary Pen as Wulfric the Skald and Mistral as Lady Maria di Valdorcia of Amiata. Good luck!))

conversations.value: Mistral: Lady Maria looks at her opponent disdainfully.   "Ah, the barbarian from the antechamber.  I must say, I hadn't expected you to come this far."
