What, is it suddenly open season on Opals? Fine, fine. Once this gets the official stamp of approval we'll work out the details.

[DUEL Kheldar]

Valid, proceed.

Emergency Observation Program activated. Challenge observation mode. Query. Subject Jaycy Ashleana, do you still wish to press challenge?
Answer, affirmative. Query. Subject Harris D'artainian, do wish to defend against this challenge?
Answer, affirmative. The format of the match is best of three. Duelists, enter the ring, and begin when ready.

It begins.
Round One. While possessing power, the kick lacks the speed to overcome the direct punch. (Jab/SnK, 1-0 Harris)
Round Two. Graceful, like twin ballistic arcs. (JK/F Leap, 2-0 Harris)
Round Three. Direct opposing confrontation of forces. (Sweep x2, 3-1 Harris)
Round Four. A well timed misdirection. (FE Jab/F Duck, 4-1 Harris)
Round Five. A minor pause in the action. (F Dodge/F AB, 4-1 Harris)
Round Six. A proper dispersion of force. (Sweep/F LB, 4-2 Harris)
Round Seven. The shortest distance between two points isn't strewn with obstacles. (F Dodge/Sweep, 4-3 Harris)
Round Eight. A well-timed redirection of incoming force to one's advantage. (Jab/Flip, 4 all) Sudden Death.
Round Nine. A great risk, and unwise. (SnK/UC, 5-4 Harris)

Subject Harris D'artainian secures the first victory. Do you wish to continue immediately, or do you require a resting period?
Subjects choose to continue. Begin when ready.

It begins.
Round One. A well-executed dodge, of proper form and admirable skill. The timing, however, could use improvement. (F Dodge/SpK, 1-0 Jaycy)
Round Two. The reciprocation seems rather painful. (Jab/Sweep, 1 all)
Round Three. Another dodge, displaying both form and finesse. And timing. (Chop/F Dodge, 2-1 Jaycy)
Round Four. The direct punch serves well in scoring. (Jab x2, 3-2 Jaycy)
Round Five. Whether done with more power or less, I fail to see anything worth scoring here. (F UC/FE Chop, 3-2 Jaycy)
Round Six. Another fine example of the power of the direct attack. (Sweep/Jab, 4-2 Jaycy)
Round Seven. When properly done, a misdirection is a marvelous tool of strategy. However, the gamble sometimes does not pay off. (FE Jab/Chop, 5-2 Jaycy)

Subject Jaycy Ashleana secures the second victory. A tiebreaker is necessary. Do you wish to continue immediately, or would you like a moment of rest?
Subjects choose to continue. Begin when ready.

It begins.
Round One. I was unaware of any dancing contest. (F Dodge x2, 0 all)
Round Two. I am not suited for judging arm-wrestling bouts. (F AB x2, 0 all)
Round Three. The first to flinch falls. (Sweep/F Dodge. 1-0 Harris)
Round Four. Proper evasions show favorable results. (F Dodge/JK, 2-0 Harris)
Round Five. The proper frame of mind, but a different intercept vector is required. (Jab/F LB, 3-0 Harris)
Round Six. The high ground is more tactically desirable. (JK/SnK, 4-0 Harris)
Round Seven. Another pause in the action. (F Duck/F LB, 4-0 Harris)
Round Eight. I do not believe I am further required to sing the praises of the direct punch. (Sweep/Jab, 4-1 Harris)
Round Nine. While not a direct punch, it serves the purpose. (SnK/Sweep, 5-1 Harris)

Subject Harris D'artainian secures the third victory, and retains the title.

Observation mode terminated. Powering down.
