As expected. (Challenge for FireStar)

[Anubis Karos]

To the duelist known as Charlie....I challenge you for FireStar.

~Anubis Karos

[JC]

Why? So you can lose it again if you win?

[KC]

You tell 'em Noona!

[DUEL Kal]

[Charlie Nine]

Challenge accepted.

-Charlie Nine

[Charlie Nine]

The challenge will take place on Wednesday, August 27th at 9:00 PM RST (EST).

Shadow has agreed to officiate and was also magnanimous enough to offer his history rich Barony (Battlefield Park) as a locale. Both Anubis and I have accepted the offer.

-Charlie Nine

[Anubis Karos]

Due to a combination of factors, this challenge is postponed. The third of September, at 9 by Rhydin's clock(9 EST). Shadow remains the presiding official, and Battlefield Park remains the venue.

[Goldglo]

This challenge has apparently been postponed beyond the permitted time limit without permission or notice.

Kheldar and I will decide whether to allow this challenge to go forward. We will announce a decision shortly.

--Matt

[Goldglo]

This challenge will be allowed to proceed. No further extensions are permitted. As this delay came about on the part of Anubis, if Anubis is late or does not show (within the 10-minute leeway provided within the rules), he will be considered in forfeit.

[DUEL Shadow]

I was there to see this match happen, out in the Park! A great many people and no few ghosts and the cutest cat (Patches!) in Rhy'din were there!

The match commenced as follows:

Code: Select all

Smoke 1! Charlie seeks the low road, trying to unsettle Anubis' stance, but the Egyption lands the first blow with a quicker punch! (JB/LS) 1-0 Anubis

Smoke 2! Lord Karos seeks to avoid harm by ducking down! Charlie's tricky in his offensive endeavor, but neither scores! (FaDU/FeSN) 1-0 Anubis

Smoke 3! And now we see some more brutal action, as both combatants lead with their fists, and both strike true! (JB/JB) 2-1 Anubis

Smoke 4! Anubis drops into a sweeping attack, and is able to foil Charlie's powerful strike! (LS/UC) 3-1 Anubis

Smoke 5! Charlie's fist once more leads as he moves in on Anubis! Anubis is tricky once more, but it costs him the point this round! (FeFL/JB) 3-1 Anubis

Smoke 6! Anubis gets low, and manages to land a sweeping maneuver on Charlie, whose grapple doesn't quite land! (LS/FL) 4-1 Anubis

Smoke 7! In this round, Anubis sets up a powerful block designed to foil many attacks! It does not, however, foil Charlie's! (FaAB/LS) 4-2 Anubis

Smoke 8! Charlie sets up his own skillful defense, but Anubis comes at him from a trickier angle to score! (FeJB/FaAB)

((FINAL: Anubis Karos .def Resolute, 5-2 in 8))

Fire 1! Anubis doesn't quite commit to the attack, and Charlie's sweep doesn't land! No score in the opening round! (FeJB/LS) 0-0

Fire 2! Anubis pours on his speed, attempting to outmaneuver Charlie's apparent course of attack! But Charlie's fake-out lands uncontested! (FaDO/FeJK) 1-0 Charlie

Fire 3! Lord Karos attempts to grapple FireStar's holder, but is instead taken out of his stance and off his feet! (FL/LS) 2-0 Charlie

Fire 4! Charlie is unrelenting in his assault, taking the unexpected path to landing a blow on the armblocking Anubis! (FaAB/FeJB) 3-0 Charlie

Fire 5! Charlie heads in with a chop, but Anubis gets on the board as he catches it! (FL/CH) 3-1 Charlie

Fire 6! Charlie aims a lightning fast punch, but Anubis' footwork is even faster! (FaDO/JB) 3-2 Charlie

Fire 7! Anubis defends low, while Charlie awaits the chance to grapple! No score this round! (FaLB/FL) 3-2 Charlie

Fire 8! Anubis tries out the lower assault, but his sweep cannot land before Charlie's fist does! (LS/JB) 4-2 Charlie

Fire 9! Charlie goes in for the whallop, but Anubis lands his punch more quickly to narrow the Opal holder's lead! (JB/FaUC) 4-3 Charlie

Fire 10! Charlie snaps out a fast kick, but Anubis takes to the air and lands his first! We have Sudden Death! (JK/SN) 4-4

Fire 11! Anubis almost jabs, Charlie almost catches it! Something like that! We remain in Sudden Death! (FeJB/FeFL) 4-4

Fire 12! Anubis is crouched, attacking low like a lurking crocodile! Charlie takes to the air to win the second duel of the match! (LS/FaLP)

((FINAL: Resolute .def. Anubis Karos, 5-4 in 12))

Firestar 1! Anubis begins this duel as he ended the last, but Charlie is there first with the straight punch! (LS/JB) 1-0 Charlie

Firestar 2! Charlie's on the move, looking to avoid harm, and counter! But Anubis takes a different tack and lands a blow! (FeJK/FaDO) 1-1

Firestar 3! They both have the same idea this round, dipping and ducking to avoid harm! (FaDU/FaDU) 1-1

Firestar 4! Anubis tried to land a punishing fist on Charlie, whose defense and counter are insurmountable! (JB/FaAB) 2-1 Charlie

Firestar 5! The seesaw continues, as Anubis lands a snapping foot over Charlie's attempted sweep! (SN/LS) 2-2

Firestar 6! It may seem on the surface that Anubis is jabbing, Charlie leaping up to kick, but this is not in fact the case! (FeJB/FeJK) 2-2

Firestar 7! Charlie's snapping kick is able to land uncontested on the grabby Egyptian! (FL/SN) 3-2 Charlie

Firestar 8! Anubis moves, swift as the Nile in flood; Charlie comes at him from a weird enough angle to land a blow! (FaDO/FeJB) 4-2 Charlie

Firestar 9! It's been a punishing, long match. Brutal. And this round proves it as they both exchange low sweeps! Charlie Nine takes the third duel! (LS/LS)

((FINAL: Resolute .def. Anubis Karos, 5-3 in 9))

In three exciting and grueling duels, Charlie Nine staved off Lord Anubis Karos to maintain his hold on the Red Rock!

I hope my pants stayed on during the after-party. I think they did?
