To challenge a buffoon (FireStar Challenge)

Anubis Karos · Post by **Anubis Karos** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:00 am

The yellowed scrip of paper on the Outback says that I may issue challenge as of the 18th night of this month. So it is the 19th day of the first month of Akhet, the Flood of the River....or as it is known in this damp cesspool, January, the month of the ice. Either way, I challenge for what has been on sojourn from me for far too long.

I would like to say that I challenge for the spirit of competition and a desire for the Opal. But truth be told....the holder annoys me. His emaciated carcass festers at ringside while he employs hulking abominations in the eyes of the gods to fight for him. If I am not allowed to halt this with my decidedly superior necromancy whilst he competes in these rings, then I will at least divest him of the burden of disgracing a title.

Mr. Karos,

I find myself uninterested in either your annoyance or your challenge.

My interest lies in the physiology of the diverse contestants of these rings and the magic of the opals. I will admit there are some of the ancients I admire and have spent a deal of time studying. Were you Alhazred, I would be joyous at the opportunity to learn.

Unfortunately, you are not.

I have had sufficient time to make a full examination of the red rock and, while you would likely present an interesting racial study to most, you afford nothing new to me. Many great works from the sorcerers of the Nile have found there way to my hands in the past. With some few exceptions, it is no longer a field of inquiry I find worthy of pursuit.

With that in mind, and not being one to have a care for your likely righteous indignation, I see no reason to proceed further along this course.

I decline your challenge.

Shale

May I take this as affirmation that you are surrendering the Opal, then?

Proceed with scheduling and securing a caller.

Kheldar,

He declined. You and Matt have a meeting to attend to. But in the event that he does faithless retire the Opal, I demand my rights as a challenger.

Uhm... well, until I hear differently... and just to be safe... This Challenge has been...

The Anvil stared at the door to his office as it closed behind the minion who'd just left. Then he looked down at the red Opal that had been left on his desk. There were no words uttered... the thing probably lacked a tongue. Tongues weren't much good when fighting, unless you were The Anvil. Frowning at FireStar, this was obviously the Opal's fault he opened his mouth and bellowed.

"MAAAAATTTT!" Could the week get any worse?

He scrawled a note and pinned it to the bulletin board.

Shale has retired from Opal Status. This Challenge has been officially declined

The challenge officially void and Anubis may issue a new challenge if he wishes.

You aren't even going to appoint a champion to face me?

No champion will be appointed to defend FireStar. We have other plans for the opal that will be announced shortly (and it's not waiting for the next DQ).

So...not to be an impatient jerk or anything, but is "announced shortly" going to be happening anytime soon?

Candy looked over the board and snorted. Finding a bit of paper she scrawled

Matt -

Nice of you to keep the rock warm for me. Now that I'm around, maybe you get around to doing the thing you hinted at or some other thing or you could just hand it over to me and save Nubes the trouble of falling over himself.

It's very, very amusing when an individual seeks to look down on another, and only draws humiliation to herself.

The tournament for this Opal was months ago, sugar lips.

Matt -

Looks like you need to hold ANOTHER tournament. Or just hand it to me. Whatever.

Post by **Goldglo** » Fri May 25, 2018 2:10 pm

In the works...I'll make you fight for it. You wouldn't want it any other way.
