Tehr's address earned more than a few cheers from the crowd that seemed excited at his words, though they quieted down as the two of them moved to face one another. The sound of explosion rang out as Tielwater's hand rose and a flashy ball of light rose to the sky to explode into small pieces of light, marking the start of the match. Tielwater was moving out of the way by then, back to the gate out of the circle.<br/><br/>As Tehr then charged forth towards the halfling man there was a cheer going on at the crowd, seemingly excited at the swift dash into action. The surprised halfling's face showed his confusion, but his hands rose to try and ready to block a strike with the staff, only to see the magic shaping in Tehr's hand and thrust towards him. Without missing a beat, the halfling lad used his shorter height to advantage slipping his head down and dashing a step back as Tehr's hand grasped only air. The spell charged and ready in hand still, missing the halfling lad that time didn't mean it wouldn't reach the next time around perhaps, but at that time the halfling lad growled out words of a spell of his own, causing a ripple in the air as he finished.<br/><br/>Suddenly those eyes that had been dark brown mere moment ago flashed golden and it was like runes lined the gold around the black iris, calling him to gaze in and lose himself into them. The spell's effects sought to cloud his mind and subvert his will, as the halfling's voice spoke mockingly. "How about you bark like a dog for me to start with! A dog like you are!" He grinned wide as a cheshire cat, that malevolent, proud and at the same time a touch disturbing smile.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC - Spell Information</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Spell:</strong> Hypnotism<br/><strong>Effect:</strong> 2d4 HD of creatures, (Rolled 6, so unfortunately it does affect Tehr then), for 2d4 rounds (2 rounds total only though, he rolled bad in that) <br/><strong>Save:</strong> Will Negates (DC 14)<br/></div></div><br/>There was a confused look in the crowd as they murmured to one another unsure what had happened a mere moment ago, watching as the halfling man laughed loudly. "Then you'll slap yourself in the face with that spell you prepared! Whatever it is, how about you taste it yourself!" He grinned, laughing, wasting seconds once more to watch his spell at work, at least he hoped to it seemed. Finally, finishing up with one more order.<br/><br/>"Leave the arena, and surrender. I'm better than you." Unfortunately for the bastard, the Hypnosis spell ended before he gave that order.
