♦ 07-31-22 | With his Keeper’s Blessing from the Archmage Tournament, Droet looked to the lagoon and its tower in hopes of becoming Aqua Master. Funny enough, he would be challenging the last winner of the Keeper’s Blessing and his former opponent in the May Archmage Tournament, Sheridan Driscol (commonly known by Dris) the Keeper of Water! The two jumped into Poseidon to make quite the splash and delight spectators with their abilities. Dris started out the gate with a solid score, while he and Droet traded in the following round. After a quick breather round, Droet looked to gather his strength and made a swift and steady climb to victory for the first match with a final score of 5 to 2 in 7 rounds. In the second match, the casters opened with a trade, but this go around it was Dris who would take the lead and go figuratively running away with it. With the second match’s score resulting in 5.5 to 2 in 6, both Keeper and Challenger had won a match and thus pushed the challenge to a third and final match for the evening! Where Dris scored first in the final match, Droet was quick to tie things up in the following round. In the third round, the pair traded spells, setting the score at 1.5 each while spectators watched the pair swim about. Droet broke into the lead in round 4 and hit match point in round 5, but Dris showed us he wasn’t going to let go of things easily as the Bard doubled his score in round 6. The pair traded casts in the next round, which would seal Droet’s victory with a final score of 5 to 4 in 7. This then marked Droet’s first reign as a Keeper and becoming Aqua Master as he also held IceDancer at the time. | ♦ 02-08-23 | Droet’s first challenge would come from Rachael and they both showed up dressed, ready to make a splash! Without further a due let's dive right into the details of the evening, shall we? In the special ring of Poseidon, it would be Rachael who scored first in the opening match. Droet followed up with some not so baby shark attacks –but don't worry dear reader, they were safe illusions! Droet built up his lead, but a follow up exchange had both him and Rachael scoring. Only Droet brought another shark into the mix and though Rachael was clearly giving it her all, Droet tossed out an impressive whirlpool and fish were flying everywhere! And so, the first match ended with a final score of 5 to 2.5 in 7 rounds. In the second match, Rachael came out of the gate, scoring two points before Droet resorted to bringing out another whirlpool to get on the board and put a damper on any notion of a shut out this evening. The tides seemed to shift in Droet's control shortly after this as he continued to climb up the scoreboard and would keep Rachael from scoring no higher than 2.5 points. In an impressive feat, the Keeper of Water retains his title, as the second match concluded with the same score as the first (that being 5 to 2.5 in 7 rounds)! | ♦ 05-24-23 | A repeat showdown between Droet and Rachael would be the Keeper’s second challenge, complete with a delicious sushi spread to keep spectators full while being entertained over the best of three matches. The casters jumped right into the special ring Poseidon, and both pulled out all the stops in the first match! Favored with the Keeper’s Blessing, Rachael was able to utilize a bit of elemental fury alongside the Keeper Droet, but in the end, it would be Droet who came out on top in the first match with a final score of 5 to 3 in 10 rounds. Rachael’s fierce determination and powerful stare downs helped keep Droet off the scoreboard entirely in the second match, where she shut out the Keeper in 6 rounds! Thus, all things came down to the third and final match, where both casters kept things close, usually a mere half a point apart. Droet soon found his edge in the waters, turning into bubbles at one point and calling up a shield to defend the last attack from Rachael, then sealing his victory and defense of his title with a final score of 5 to 3.5 in 8! | ♦ 07-12-23 | For the third challenge coming from Rachael tonight, Droet opted to not jump into the ring of Poseidon, and instead brought the watery action to the sands of Twilight Isle! The Keeper decided to start defensively and kept Rachael from scoring for the first two rounds. He then continued holding a steady lead before Rachael splashed her way up on the board with some fire and brimstone scents. After a few trades, Droet even made it surf boards! A startling sight which closed out the match with a final score of 5 to 3 in 7 rounds. In the second match of the night, Droet started things much like the first, keeping on the defense. The second round had both casters looking to blast each other with their impressive elemental powers, but fire and water just met each other’s match, turned to steam, and left no score for either of them. It was from there that Droet looked to control the tides so to speak, building momentum cast after cast and keeping Rachael from being able to score any further for the evening. With no signs of slowing down, Droet closed the second match with a score of 5.5 to 0 in 7 rounds and secured another defense for his reign of the Tower of Water. | ♦ 07-08-24 | Droet notched his fourth defense against first time challenger, Mage Gillette Brooke. Gillette’s challenge was made a few weeks before the Keeper would celebrate his second anniversary holding the Tower of Water. Mage Emeritus Eregor officiated as the duelists squared off in Ring Poseidon. While Gillette put up a good fight, Droet won both matches: 5 - 1.5 in 10 rounds and 5 - 4 in 11 rounds. | ♦ 09-05-24 | Mage Gillette Brooke came calling a second time to try to wrest the coral and aquamarine key from Droet. The scene was set in a similar manner to their first meeting with Eregor calling and the duelists meeting in Poseidon again. Given the speed of the entire challenge, which was over in forty minutes, Droet wasn't ready to relinquish the key or the Tower was unwilling to have a new Keeper just yet. Two matches settled this: 5 - 1.5 in 6 rounds, 5 - 2.5 in 7 rounds. Gillette made her intentions known; she planned to continue to try for the Keepership of the Tower of Water in future. |
