Stage 4: Fists Brawl

[Random McChanse]

Last night at 9:00 12 duelists gathered to participate in the first Brawl of the Tour. To win the stage, they would have to fight in one of two 6-person brawls, and survive until the field narrowed down to 3; then, with no chance to rest their bodies, fight against their fellow survivors until only one was left standing.

Here's what they were fighting for:

Winner: 5 Fists Points, 3 Tour Points, 1000 Nobles
2nd Place: 4 Fists Points, 2 Tour Points
3rd Place: 3 Fists Points, 1 Tour Point
Final Ring: 2 Fists Points
Participation: 1 Fists Point

In Ring 1, we had Amaltea, Tera Starfare, Vincent Smith, Tasslehofl Momus, Matt Simon, and Cassius Maximus.

In Ring 2, we had Cory Havoick, Brigath, Wyheree, Bran Bale, Kheldar Drasinia, and Koyliak VanDuren.

In the intense struggles that followed, 3 duelists from each ring survived through to the final ring, some more battered than others from their efforts: Cory (3), Kheldar (13), Koyliak (6), Matt (4), Tera (8 ), and Vincent (3). When the dust settled, there were only two duelists remaining: Vincent and Matt, both at 8 stamina. Then Vincent took on an amazing spurt of energy, scoring on Matt twice and knocking him out of the ring in three rounds to win the Fists Brawl!

A play-by-play of each preliminary ring and the final ring can be found in the posts below. Take special notice to Kheldar's heroic survival in the second ring.

Congratulations to Vinny for being the winner of Stage 4!

Cassius goes for the shins first but Amal's in his face first (LS/JB), while Tera adds a jab of her own, but not unanswered (Jab-Cass - Jab).

Meanwhile, Tass lines up a jab at Tera in the middle of the cloud of dust that is Cassius, and catches her even when she tries to jump rather close to his head (Jab-Tera - JK). Matt just stays away from all this ruckus, only diving in to trip up Amal, though he gets bruised shing for his trouble (LS-Amal - LS).
