Challenge for MoonBeryl

[Saieniel]

The Keeper of Air wishes for me to secure her this stone. Consider this your notice, Keeper of the Yellow Rock, I intend to take it for my own.



Sincerely,

Saieniel of House Dúeth

[DUEL Kal]

[Hope]

Adding insult to misery was it? Hope found the news as a topping to the distasteful stunt she'd stumbled upon earlier in the week, even by a day or so and nearly set the Isle on fire.

"I accept this challenge and will be in contact with the highborne to ascertain further details."

[Saieniel]

We shall complete this challenge on Monday, the sixteenth of March at half past nine in the evening. By the eastern clock, of course. Dris has been obtained to officiate.

[Dawnblade]

May you fight beautifully, my champion.

[DUEL Dris]

Denizens of the Duel of Fists Community!

It was my great honor and privilege to be asked to officiate this challenge between the present custodian of the Opal MoonBeryl, Hope, and her challenger the lady Saieniel!

To make a long story short, by the third match, in the tenth round, Hope secures her position to remain the custodian of the MoonBeryl Opal!

Congratulations on your defense, Hope!

Well tried, Saieniel!

As I usually do, I have paid the Goblins of the Isle an exorbitant fee to prepare these magical scrolls for your reading pleasure that gives a play-by-play rundown of all three matches fought this evening. Do enjoy!


FIGHT ONE

Code: Select all

DUEL Dris: That Yellow Rock, Round 1: "Saieniel thinks she's going to start this one off by playing it super safe, but Hope has one heck of a kick to bring her down with for that first brutal point!" (SP/FaDO) 1 - 0 Hope

DUEL Dris: That Yellow Rock, Round 2: "First on high, and then down on low. Hope's aiming to take Saieniel's legs out from under her, but the challenger puts a stop to that nonsense with a swifter kick that ties up the score." (LS/SK) 1 - 1

DUEL Dris: That Yellow Rock, Round 3: "A good old-fashioned punch from Hope puts a halt to Saieniel's plans to likewise try to take the Opal's feet out from under her, turning the lead back over to Ms. MoonBeryl." (JB/LS) 2 - 1 Hope

DUEL Dris: That Yellow Rock, Round 4: "Saieniel's looking to get her hands on Hope, but she's out of there! In style, even!" (FaDO/FL) 3 - 1 Hope

DUEL Dris: That Yellow Rock, Round 5: "Hope's fist meets with empty air as Saieniel borrows a page from her book of the previous round to get the heck out of the way, with style!" (JB/FaDO) 3 - 2 Hope

DUEL Dris: That Yellow Rock, Round 6: "I've heard people say before... 'Go big, or go home.' Definitely not a bit of advice that's working out in Saieniel's favor just now." (CH/UC) 4 - 2 Hope

DUEL Dris: That Yellow Rock, Round 7: "Hope takes to the air! Unfortunately for her, Saieniel's totally prepared for her with an impressively strategic play of superior defense." (JK/FaAB) 4 - 3 Hope

DUEL Dris: That Yellow Rock, Round 8: "Though it worked out well for Hope in round one, it doesn't quite pan out for Saieniel here at the end of this match. Ms. MoonBeryl takes the first by having the swifter kick." (SK/SP) 5 - 3 Hope

FIGHT TWO

Code: Select all

DUEL Dris: Not a Submarine, Round 1: "Hope's psyching herself up for some flying fists that just aren't coming. Saieniel takes the first point of match number two by sweeping the Opal off her feet." (LS/FL) 1 - 0 Sai

DUEL Dris: Not a Submarine, Round 2: "Much like the second round of the first match, but with a bit of reversed roles. Hope puts up a skillful defense to tie up the score in round two." (SK/FaAB) 1 - 1

DUEL Dris: Not a Submarine, Round 3: "We have lift off! Oh wait, wait. No. Had me fooled. Didn't much fool Saieniel, though. The lady elf takes back the lead with a well placed punch." (JB/FeJK) 2 - 1 Sai

DUEL Dris: Not a Submarine, Round 4: "Saieniel's doing a fine job here catching Hope off balance. This brings the Opal down and extends the lady elf's lead by another point." (LS/SP) 3 - 1 Sai

DUEL Dris: Not a Submarine, Round 5: "Hope's coming in strong with that heavy hand of hers, but Saieniel is totally prepared for that and turns the odds further in her own favor to match point." (FL/CH) 4 - 1 Sai

DUEL Dris: Not a Submarine, Round 6: "Ms. MoonBeryl tries for the good old one-two combo follow-up, but Saieniel gets down low and out of the way to seal the win of bout number two." (FaDU/JB) 5 - 1 Sai

FIGHT THREE

Code: Select all

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 1: "Now that's what I'm talking about. What a way to start off the final match of this challenge! Both ladies display for us their prowess in unarmed combat, but Saieniel's a little quicker on the draw and takes the first point of bout number three." (FaDU/FeJK) 1 - 0 Sai

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 2: "Saieniel keeps up with the leg work, but this round it's not working well for her. Hope leads in with a punch that, following tonight's trend, ties the score up here in round two of the third match." (JB/LS) 1 - 1

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 3: "It looks like both ladies are gearing up to deliver twin teeth shattering blows! Yes. It looks like... It's gonna... Wait. Wait, wait. What just happened? Nope. Psyche outs all around. Tie score remains." (FeUC/FeUC) 1 - 1

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 4: "Oh here we go. Okay. For sure there's a lot more actual action happening up in here as both ladies drop down low to mop up the floor... with each other! And the score stays tied!" (LS/LS) 2 - 2

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 5: "Hope dives back into the swing of things by letting her knuckles do the talking for her, but Saieniel is quick to slip out of range and secure herself a point to take the lead." (JB/FaDO) 3 - 2 Sai

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 6: "I never tire of seeing this happen. Saieniel takes to the skies and Hope's catching her during lift-off to bring her back down to earth. The Opal ties the score right back up in this way!" (FL/JK) 3 - 3

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 7: "Saieniel takes back the lead yet again by putting her arms up in time to ward off that forward kick that Hope tries to drive home at her. This puts the lady elf at match point." (SK/FaAB) 4 - 3 Sai

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 8: "This is what I like to see. These are the reasons I live for challenge matches. Moments like this in which I get to push the shiny red button and yell SUDDEN DEATH!!!" (FaLP/LS) 4 - 4

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 9: "The hits just keep on coming, and the score stays scored as both ladies land those punches together. We remain at SUDDEN DEATH!!!" (JB/JB) 5 - 5

DUEL Dris: For the Gold, Round 10: "We have a winner! I won't keep you all in suspense. You can see for yourselves here how Hope takes to the air again and leaps right on over Saieniel's kick to take away a point and the win!" (FaLP/SK) 6 - 5 Hope
