<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Everyone</strong></span><br/><br/>First round starts explosively, albeit slowest to be defeated was Maya's opponent who with magical resistance resisted long while against the spell but was tricked by mind games. Also technically Maya was invisible 'too long' but she had clone out (as she did trick entire audience and judges about her true location so it was allowed to pass).<br/><br/>Second round fights briefly went following;<br/><br/>Witch fought Asgardian Mage, witch was swifter to act and she conjured literally a<em>swarm of cats</em>(unique spell, variation of summon swarm spell) assault her opponent. Who was scratched and entangled by the swarm, but she managed resist the entangling effect in conjuring pillar of stone beneath her feet and explode outward to disperse the swarm with earth conjuring spell. Witch launched barrage of pumpkins (magic missile), however asgardian mage had trinket which blocks the missiles. Then touching ground she conjured hand of stone which grabs the witch, but then witch used quick worded short range teleport break free from the grapple and quickly cast blindness inducing spell on asgardian; it was game over move as asgardian as blind could not see her foe so she randomly launched spell here and there. Using area effects which mostly harmed her as witch used then simple conjured illusion to taunt and create disorientation where she was. Eventually asgardian lost by one unlucky moment where her fortitude was not strong enough resist simple blindness inducing effect.<br/><br/>Ragnar the beastfolk mystic against psychic went fastest; psychic attempted overcome Ragnar's mind to loose but he used divine protection mixed with sorcery; his ancestors warding his mind when he brutally beated down his foe who could reduce physical dmg a lot but not enough not be pummeled down by bare handed fisted brawl and grapple. Ragnar also took damage from crystal barrage and one case where psychic conjured crystal spikes from his body impale Ragnar, but showing fortitude of former gladiator he endured pain and tightened even tighter his foe despite spikes hurted him. Overall Ragnar's mighty fortitude mixed with powerful innate ancestral warding makes him pure combat machine who can endure lots of harm and resist any spells which are meant to hit or test his resolve, reflex or mind. More so his elemental wards provide additional fortitude and resistance most harmful effects.<br/><br/>Battle against Blackfeather with unassuming man was surprising; as the unassuming man transformed (http://gaming.bin.sh/eberron/encyc/magic/images/warforged_titan.jpg) into enormous construct of war; war titan. Immediately the unassuming man went brutal onslaught on Blackfeather! However Blackfeather managed avoid brutal attacks raising quickly a wall of force which blocked titan's access to his opponent, splitting arena in half. The construct was resistant against all magics; outright immune. Match was longest as Blackfeather tried many varied magical attacks (he used odd metamagic rod which allowed launch spells from odd angles inside the safety bubble). But all were deflected and wall of force is not able last forever. Then Blackfeather used a spell which was not normal to wizards; he started chant in druidic and weave a mistle toe which he had taken from his pocket mixed with draconic invocation; suddenly the warforged titan transformed from metal and steel into wood. Still mobile and able to kill. However then Blackfeather chanted another druidic spell; Warp Wood. Immediately construct entire body was warped out of proportions, twisting limbs, mechanisms and making it mockery of itself! But critical was loss of balance followed with change where titan rolled out of the arena accidentally and thus disqualified as it failed even move back into ring thanks it's warped body. In end of match unassuming man regained it's form back to normal.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Aramis only</div><div class="spoiler_body">Brightlance tells that Calandor is doing mostly fine but recently there was incident about necromancer who attempted raise undead army and more so infected with undead plaque which turned living to undead (if killed or injured by said undead).

So shall we see who outwits whom?"<br/><br/>Aramis faces against all mighty Ragnar, beastfolk mystic who is more sorcerous brute and juggernaut. Having strong defenses against magical, physical and mental attacks. No doubt he recharged his ancestral protection during brief break to full power. Meaning he has not much spells but he can easily storm through Aramis easily. He looks on him, giving feral smile as he knocks knuckles together and says; "Time to start to rumble! Show me how you plan survive me or beat me? Perhaps I am ready to use my ace trick on you....."
