				At first, the arena looked just like an ordinary, sand-filled coliseum.&nbsp; Moments before the fighters entered however, the sand began to shift, twisting and growing into new forms.&nbsp; After less than a minute, it had a completely different form, just in time for the fighters to enter...

				Vulpae was the first to enter the arena taking form as he walked out, spreading outward from his feet and changing, the landscape morphing at his touch. broken stone spires and ruins rose from a crystal floor water rose ankle deep with writhing dark things hidden just below the crystal. Vulpae stepped onto a rising pillar his smile hidden behind his silver armor. Drawing his blade he bowed to the entryway of his opponent, breathless, silent, and ready, burning blue embers flickering behind the visor.

				Getting killed sucked.<br><br>Getting killed because you were careless and prone to stepping into stuff because you were tunnel visioned on the other guy?&nbsp; Quite Even worse.&nbsp; So it was with a fair amount of trepidation that Aella entered the arena again, helmet already closed, sealed, and features shrouded in preparation for the oncoming trial ahead.&nbsp; At least with the water...&nbsp; Well, it probably meant there wouldn't be any lava this time.<br><br>She bit her lip--that was definitely a bit of unpleasantness she'd rather not repeat, between the heat and the pressure, she was surprised there was enough left to raise--a testament to the heat resistance of her <em>Shroud</em> she imagined.<br><br>Still, there was trouble ahead, and she wasn't in much of a position to refuse...&nbsp; Of course, the next guy had to be a big scary demon thing anyway.<br><br>Hopefully he wasn't as dangerous as he looked...

The look of her armor was magnificent, and so was it's construction, his bastard sword slammed into her sholder, glancing and doing no real damage. The bloodstains on his beautiful silver armor would surely be added to. he brought the blade up into her ribs, again his blade was denied it's flesh beneath. He locked blades with her on the backswing coming helm to helm with the young woman, bright blue orbs burning in his empty looking helm. "LAY ON!" his breath smelled of death and steel, the arena cool and damp under his feet.<br>He was no demon, he slayed demons, he was Darksigned, he was dead and alive, fire and battle literally made his blood pump, it sustained this undead knight. Especally when carrying the beloved princess's favor into battle.<br>To break the lock he brought a knee too her stomach and headbutted her back again, pushing her back, her Shroud protected her against the pain but not the relentless impact.

				The arena was silent for a moment, but soon the audience erupted in cheers.&nbsp; One of the doors to the arena opened, letting Vulpae leave, while a team of mages and clerics went to Aella's limp body.&nbsp; While she was certainly dead for now, many of the arena's fighters were often raised to continue their battles, regardless of their own wishes.<br><br>Once they had left, the arena began to shift and warp again, preparing itself for the next pair of combatants...

				Dominu hesitated to step into the arena as he first saw it, not a fan of waterlogged shoes in the middle of a brutal fight, but fortunately he only arrived mere moments before it began to change. The water sank back into the ground and the stone spires began to stretch outward, forming the walls and ceiling of an old castle foyer. Decorations and furniture appeared seemingly out of midair, nothing more than obstacles and weapons to be used in the battle. He could hear machinery clinking away behind the walls, indicating some traps being put in place. He only took a few steps into the arena before holding still, not wanting to risk setting off a trap before the fight even began.

				Dominu was hardly impressed by his opponent, either. He had encountered a fair number of opponents who tried to play themselves off as dumb or weak to draw the enemy into a false sense of security, but in this case, he had a feeling there was no act. There was no denying she was sexy, but that didn't make it any harder for him to kill her; easier, if anything, with the way she dressed. Narrowing his eyes, he stepped forward and raised his spell tome, muttering a quick incantation. Soon, a wave of spikes begin to rise up from the floor and move in toward Katya, a wall of steel, piercing death heading her way...<br><br>At 2012-06-18 12:14:16, Dominu (uid: 19211) rolls: 1d20 Result: 5 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=38721)<br>At 2012-06-18 12:15:12, Katya (uid: 19211) rolls: 1d20 Result: 17 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=38722)<br><br><br>Unfortunately, the mage had not seen the solitary tripwire that had lay in-between him and his opponent, one that he had inadvertently set off.

His pained and angry curse echoed through the arena, but he didn't allow the agony to stop him from getting back on his feet and readying himself for his opponent.

				The conjurer's eyes shot wide open in surprise as he suddenly found himself on the receiving end of the very same attack he had just performed, doing his best to dodge while one spike sliced a large gash in his outer thigh and another knocked the spell tome out of his hand, taking a little finger with it. By this time, the left side of his pants were getting fairly soaked in blood, and he would have to be careful using his right hand, but now he was just getting angry.

				The pink-robed blonde's taunts were enough to make Dominu audibly growl with anger, tossing the useless bow to the side. "To hell with you, slut!" he shouted across the room at her, even the sight of her plump bottom swaying back and forth as she began to cast her next spell not enough to calm him down. What did help him was when he saw that she had activated another trap, his rage fading as he watched her run about helplessly and get stung all over by the wasps, eventually joining the crowd in laughter.

"EEEEEECK!"&nbsp; But then, things did get worse as Katya looked down beneith her to pray the plant was stuck in the pit and couldn't climb up to get her...it couldn't.&nbsp; But she noticed something else, slowly and methodically a very thick tentacle, itself containing a host of tiny writhing tentacles was raising towards the blonde's vulnerable neither regions...and it seemed to have it's sight set on...."OOOOoOoooOO!"

				Once again, Dominu found himself in a position where the traps in the area seemed to be doing more damage than him, though he certainly wouldn't complain. He just counted himself lucky that he hadn't fallen victim to that particular trap, hearing the laughter and cheers of the crowd as the carnivorous plant violated the poor blonde. He heard many a comment about how she was probably enjoying it, and he couldn't exactly right that off, based on her cries. As hot as she was and as nice as the show was, though, he felt he had had enough of the slut, so another incantation brought several chains flying in her direction...<br><br>At 2012-06-19 11:11:58, Dominu (uid: 19211) rolls: 1d20 Result: 13 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=38744)<br>At 2012-06-19 11:12:10, Katya (uid: 19211) rolls: 1d20a-4 Result: -2 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=38745)<br><br>With the tentacle buried deep inside her, she was in no position to avoid as chains caught her around the neck and wrists, yanking her up into the air even while the plant tightened its grip on her to keep from letting go. Seeing her stretched between the two sources, the mage wondered if it would be satisfying enough just to let the plant devour her, but then he spotted something on the ceiling that gave him a better idea. "Rare, medium, or well-done?" he asked both Katya and the crowd as he looked up at the chandelier in the center of the room's ceiling, having just noticed it coursed with electricity (likely to fall on someone once the appropriate tripwire or pressure plate was set off). The roar from the crowd was an almost unanimous choice of "well-done," but he gave Katya a few seconds to give her input, first. Maybe she would know how the plant liked his meat cooked.<br><br><strong>Dominu - 3<br>Katya - 0<br><br>Fatality Mode</strong>

				Katya of course had no clue what Dominu was talking about...she was mostly ignoring him, even after he wrapped her up with the chains...the plant simply demanded too much attention!&nbsp; The blushing blonde moaned as the tendril made its way in and out butt, in one way it hurt, but in another it felt oh so good!&nbsp; Her eyes crossed again and her tongue practically rolled out of her mouth as both chains and vines fought for possession of the slutty bimbo, "Uhhhgggg...oooOOoooo....ahhh...ahhhhhhh!" nothing intelligible came from her filthy mouth.&nbsp; Then as she heard the crowd yell well done, she tried to snap out of the painful and sensual stupor that the vine up her rectum had put her in,&nbsp; "Huh?!"&nbsp; her eye uncrossed and she looked around confused before looking above her and noticing the chandelier...."Hey what is..." then she looked to Dominu with bright eyes of concern...."Uh oh...."

				Dominu grinned widely, eyes full of satisfaction as he chanted the one last incantation he would need to finish off the bimbo. He had hoped to make use of her body himself before he put her down, but with the way the plant was having at her, that would be some extremely sloppy seconds, and he didn't consider her worth the time. As soon as his spell went into effect, one final chain shot down from the ceiling, linked itself through the chandelier, and then wrapped around Katya's wait, the massive amounts of electricity instantly pumping into her body. The massive plant shrieked with the sudden jolt and released her, but the blonde herself had no such escape, the crowd cheering the brutal victory as the chain fed the electricity into her body for nearly a full minute, cooking her completely.<br><br>Once the corpse was finally roasted, the conjurer released his chains and let it drop down into the pit, where the plant caught it and swallowed it whole. Picking up and brushing off his spell tome, Dominu looked back the pit once more before walking toward the exit, hoping digesting cooked meat didn't give the creature any indigestion.

				Medusa looked on, confused by the armored girl's tone, not at all used to fighting someone that was so morose.&nbsp; Her confusion meant that her guard was completely down, and she was caught by surprise when Aella kicked forward.&nbsp; The girl's foot landed right on Medusa's knee, the sound punctuated by the loud crack of bone as the drow's leg bent at an impossible angle.&nbsp; Howling in pain, Medusa stepped backwards, putting all her weight on her good leg as she drew another dagger and lept forward...<br><br>At 2012-06-24 12:40:48, Medusa (uid: 22369) rolls: 1d20 Result: 5 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=38915)<br>At 2012-06-24 12:40:58, Aella (uid: 22369) rolls: 1d20 Result: 16 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=38916)<br><br>With only one leg of any use however, Medusa's attack fell quite short, especially since the floor she landed on collapsed as soon as her foot touched it.&nbsp; It was only a short drop, with no nasty surprises at the bottom... except that the drow lost her grip on her own daggers, one of them leaving a shallow cut on her shoulder.&nbsp; It would have been harmless, had her blades not been poisoned, this time with a special concoction that caused intense, searing pain, even though it did no lasting damage.&nbsp; Her hand immediately clapped over her wounded shoulder, her eyes going wide as she felt the poison's effects, letting out a loud scream as she looked up helplessly from the pit.<br><br><strong>Aella: 5<br>Medusa: 3</strong>

				Medusa screamed again as she fell down the pit, this time landing on her bad leg and twisting it even further out of place.&nbsp; Grunting, she brought herself to her feet.&nbsp; At least it looked like this other girl wasn't interested in pressing the advantage she had made for herself... a soon to be fatal mistake, Medusa thought with a grin.&nbsp; She lept out of the pit again, this time spinning around to land on her good leg and launched herself at Aella...<br><br>At 2012-06-28 00:02:47, Medusa (uid: 22369) rolls: 1d20 Result: 14 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39067)<br>At 2012-06-28 00:02:56, Aella (uid: 22369) rolls: 1d20 Result: 10 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39068)<br><br>Finally, Medusa managed to hit Aella again, this time trying to pierce straight through the girl's armor.&nbsp; Her tactic would likely have shattered any ordinary dagger, but her enchanted blades were made to never dull and never break, and she managed to strike hard enough to break through the Shroud before jumping away again, oddly agile despite having only one useful leg.&nbsp; Her attack would only have left a minor cut on Aella's arm, hardly anything to worry about, but as always her knives were poisoned - this one, a strong muscle relaxant that would leave the girl's arm numb and useless, at least for a short while.&nbsp; Long enough to follow up with more deadly poisons, certainly.<br><strong><br>Aella: 4<br>Medusa: 2</strong><br><br>

				Okay, that was a little unexpected--Aella stepped forward to press the attack, reasoning that she'd be able to follow up and get the advantage (At least until things turned to a disaster anyway),&nbsp; but with one arm unresponsive, she almost blundered into the same pit the two women were fighting over.<br><br>At 2012-06-28 13:04:30, Aella (uid: 5837) rolls: 1d20 Result: 6 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39072)<br>At 2012-06-28 13:04:54, Medusa (uid: 5837) rolls: 1d20 Result: 3 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39073)<br><br>Fortunately, if nothing else, her string of defeats and disasters had lead to her improving on her situational awareness--and she stumbled out of the way instead, Backhanding Medusa off to the side without falling to her doom, but this probably wasn't the best of signs...<br><br><strong>Aella 4<br>Medusa 1</strong>

				Medusa was ready to pounce on Aella again as soon as the girl stepped near the pit, but the armored fighter surprised her, smacking Medusa hard in the chest.&nbsp; The drow backed away, coughing with the force of the blow, before pulling out a special dagger.&nbsp; This one was coated with a magical poison, the reason Medusa had chosen the name she did.&nbsp; Wherever it touched skin, part of that person's body would change to stone.&nbsp; Smiling, she ducked under Medusa's next attack and stabbed...<br><br>At 2012-06-30 09:09:26, Medusa (uid: 22369) rolls: 1d20 Result: 6 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39150)<br>At 2012-06-30 09:09:36, Aella (uid: 22369) rolls: 1d20 Result: 10 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39151)<br><br>Of course, her attack to right under Aella's arm would have been much more impressive, had the girl been wearing a normal suit of armor.&nbsp; Instead, with her shroud not having any actual weaknesses, Medusa's knife simply bounced off of the armor, though thankfully she didn't end up cutting herself on it.

				Aella almost half-heartedly brushed the knife stroke away, letting it crash against her Shroud with little in the way of direction behind it, her off-hand swinging in a mirror of the Drow assassin's stroke, a knife-handed chop catching her at the side, just below her own arm...<br><br>At 2012-06-30 20:54:50, Aella (uid: 5837) rolls: 1d20 Result: 13 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39171)<br>At 2012-06-30 20:55:05, Medusa (uid: 5837) rolls: 1d20 Result: 11 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39172)<br><br>And this time, Medusa wasn't left with just a few bruises or cracked bones--the blow struck with weight and power beyond what could be expected from the slim girl if the Shroud wasn't in the business--consecutively smashing several of her ribs out of alignment, and likely a fair bit of internal damage as the bones cracked and splintered.<br><br>As Medusa fell, Aella actually blinked behind the helmet.&nbsp; "I...&nbsp; Won?"<br><br><strong>Medusa 0 Health<br>Fatality Mode!</strong>

				Medusa struggled to stay on her feet, breathing heavily and wincing as she felt the damage from Aella's latest blow.&nbsp; "I'm... not beaten yet..." she said in a voice that sounded more like a wheeze, drawing more knives and throwing them.&nbsp; There was no force behind the attacks however, most of the knives harmlessly clattering off of Aella's armor, some not even hitting her, and none of them doing any damage at all.&nbsp; "I... won't lose..." she whispered as she fell over again, not enough strength left to even stand up.
