Character Coliseum

[Aralyn]

Ooh yeah horseback riding races. Love that. And Archery

[Kalile]

I get the jist of it, but what do you mean 'sports'? Fencing perhaps? Archery? Horse back riding? Please clairify this RPG a bit.

Anything, really. I think the arena's a bit small for horseback racing, but all sorts of obstacle courses, archery/ weapons demonstrations, and wrestling will work. Whatever you can think of you can do. Even music competitions between bards are acceptable.

[Eowyn, Lady of Rohan]

Ok, cool!

[Legoles]

ooc:Yeah... u are older than me!!!
When Kalile, thought Imhuriel had given up she turned, and when she did this Imhuriel jumped up and wacked her in the head very hard, Kalile crumpled to the ground, with much more than a headache.
ooc2: no healing yourself Kalile

[Kalile]

"ow!" stupid, stupid, stupid! she thought. Luckily the other made the same mistake, and Kalile pulled the same manuver she had before, not trusting her legs to do more than kick. When Imharwen fell, Kalile fell on top of her, going limp to make a deadweight, holding her down. "Urg."

Ooc: Well, yeah. That should not be allowed. Anyway, I just jumped on your stomache! That should have knocked the breath from you, at least.

[Legoles]

Owch!! oh you!! Imhuriels arms were still free, so she pummled Kalile with her fists. Meanwhile Elaniel was still dancing and Imharwen was still playing.

[Kalile]

Kalile punched back, but wasn't feeling better. Finally, she stopped punching all together and just lay there and blocked, pinning the other down.


5...4...3...2...1...Out!!!!! The referee's voice rang over the arena as he strode briskly in. "You've been held down and were unable to rise for fifteen seconds!" The ref started to help Kalile off of Imharwen, but the elf didn't move. "Hey," he shook her but she still lay there. "Well, whaddya know. You knocked her out. Both of you disqualified the other." Raising his voice, he finished, "The outcome is... TIE!

[The last sane person]

OOC: heh....This shall be fun indeed! Oh, Kalile... In the Roman Coloseum, the dirt was actaully pumice from a volcano. They used it because it let the blood pool on the surface adding more drama to the fight! Just so you know....

*Leah watched as the two duked it out on the ring, Nor was she really surprised at the out come*

Leah: Well, Kalile always did think her opponents were finished when they really weren't. *She traced the scar going down her eye* Then again, so did I. But that wont happen ever again.

She was shaken out of her memories and brought back to earth when she heard Tomara speak up at her shoulder.

Tamora: Great fight! Now that we watched them fight lets fight our own battle! *she drew herself in a regal pose* I challenge you Leah!!

Leah sighed, then she smiled and gladly accepted.

Leah: boy this girls got spunk!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later once both were armed and in the arena, the dwarf came to Leah and asked her what manner of fight would she like.

Leah: As the challenged party...I choose armed combat with Swords and Halberds. To third blood!

(OOC: Just in case you dont know, Third Blood was when two duelists fought till one scored three cuts on his/her opponent first. You dont kill your opponent)

Tamora: oh boy!

The fight had begun, first Tamora lunged out with her halberd aiming for Leah's unprotected side. Only to have Leah slide under the blow and slash her sword arm. First Blood.

Tamora: Damnit!

Leah: Sorry, You should have waited for me to challenge you! then you could have chosen the way of fighting!

Tamora weild around to slash at Leah's shoulder only to have the attack blocked by Leah's halberd going underneith Tamora and slicing upwards, catching her in the leg. Second blood. However, Tamora drew her sword as her halberd was wrentched away and slashed at Leah's left arm, ripping the armor and cutting her.

Leah:*smiling and shaking her head in approval* Not bad for one whose under score is weak! I think you have fixed that though!!

Tamora smiled and went after Leah's side again, But leah still had the advantage of keeping her quite a distance away with her halberd. Makeing her move and get tired in the sun with all her armor on. Though Leah knew that accidents could happen-or people just didnt like her- she never wore the heavy armor, prefering herself to have as much freedom of movment as possible. And today that was greatly in her favor!

[Legoles]

Imhuriel pushed Kalile off of her, and tried to stand up. When she succesfully did so,
she knelt down to Kalile, slapped her face three times, and she woke.
Meanwhile Imharwen had been challenged, but had turned it down. Elaniel was still dancing.

[The last sane person]

OOC: Oy! Aralyn! Where are ya?!

[Legoles]

um....okaaaaaay, where is Aralyn??? Where could she be?

[The last sane person]

OOC: I dunno, but if she doesnt post tonight i'll finish the fight! and it wil probably either be a tie or in my favor...... Hell with it! I'll finish the fight!


Leah was still making Tamora dance around and avoid her attacks for about half an hour, seeing just how much the youth could take. And given that Tamora was in full armor that happened to be black, she was getting very hot.

Tamora:*pant* AH! I shall finish this! I can take it no longer!

Leah: Very well! go ahead and try!

Tamora was tired of playing it cautious and avoiding going blade to blade. She made one final lunge at Leah slashing with all her might, only to find that Leah had thrown her halberd away and had taken out her blades.

Tamora's attack was firmly blocked, her weapon was wrentched from her grasp and she went to her knees. Leah gave one well aimed slash at her oponents shoulder, neatly slicing through the aromor and leaving a delicate and thin red line in her skin.

Leah:*calmly* Third blood.

[Kalile]

"The victory goes to Leah!!!!!" the ref appeared out of nowhere and raised the girl's arm. She touched Tamora's collarbone, and murmered, "If you like, there's free healer's potions in the waiting room."


For Kalile and Imharwen:
"What the hell..?!?!" Kalile was rather bewildered. She hurt, and there was a crazy lady trying to give her something to drink. She drank it and felt better, then refused more.

"What happened?"
When told, she shook her head and laughed.
"Of all the stupid paradoxes.... Hey! Elaniel! Cut it out, will ya? You're making my head hurt!"

[The last sane person]

OOC: Where was she?

Leah sheathed her weapons and offered her hand to the crestfallen and sore Tamora and helped her up.

Leah: Not bad, but it wasnt a fair fight.

Tamora:*looks at Leah* why?

Leah: Oh, it wasnt rigged if thats what you're wondering. It's just that I have had alot of practice with my weapons, and i mean alot of practice. Both inside the ring and out!

Tamora: Oh, no wonder.

Leah helped her to the healers and then back to Tamoras room so she could rest up a bit. Then she went to see some old friends. She found the midget elf proped up on a bed swigging Miruvior and chatting with her other elven friends. Leah snuck behind Kalile and suddenly reached and grabbed her shoulder.

Kalile: Aaah! *sees Leah* Oh! it is you! How are ya old friend! Could you please be a bit more careful please! I dont want to go back down again!

Leah smiles and sits next to Kalile and grabs a pint a beer and takes a swig.

Leah: Well, I guess i am none the worse for wear! And how bout your self? Imhuriel gave you a couple good uns over the head!

Kalile smiles ruefully and rubs her head.

Kalile: Tell me something I have yet to notice! Jeez! Like gettin hit with a load a bricks!

Leah smiles into her pint and takes another swig, Nodding her head to the music and later on falling asleep.

[Kalile]

Ooc: Shh! Don't tell. the ref was lying in the sand. Well, okay, she just is very observant and has a knack for seeing when combat is about to end.

[The last sane person]

OOC: Aha. I ment where is/was Aralyn!

[Legoles]

Imhuriel walks up behind Kalile and shouts loudly "BOO!'
kalile jumps up out of her chair, stnds up and beats her on the head.
"Owch, that hurts real bad!!!!!!!"

[The last sane person]

OOC: Okay, I know its fun, but Kalile isnt a mouse and I dont think she would be scared of someone saying boo very loudly!

Leahs yawned and stretched herself. Still limber and ready for action should it come her way.

Leah: Oy! Imhuriel, what other fights do you have lined up? I wonder who I am going to challenge next..

Kalile: But didnt Tamora challenge you?

Leah: Yeah, I didnt really want to fight her though. a little to inexperienced. Still, she does have quite a bit a spunk!

Imhuriel: Uh, I dunno. I was thinking of challenging you but I thought the better of it.

Leah:*crestfallen* Damn. I want a challenge though...

Leah was thinking of who to challenge when she eyed Elaniel dancing away with the other girls. Leah walks up to him to challenge him but is instead swept up in a dance, quite confused.

Leah: Uh, sir! I was actually hopeing to fight rather than dance with you!

Elaniel:*deflates* oh, well i guess i could fight with you. If thats what you really want to.

Leah: Indeed i do!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the fighting grounds, Elaniel decides a rather unorthodox duel... Jousting, up to four lances. He gets into his armor and clambers atop his stead, looking for all the world like some elvish hero of old. All the girls he danced with swooned.

Leah: Dear, I now sorely wish i had some armor, Damn it! If i'm not careful i'll be turned into shishkabob!

Elaniel:*muttering* I would rather have danced with her!

They charged at each other with lances tipped with iron circles. Leah successfully dodged under Elaniel's lance and pounded his chest with hers, shattering it.

Leah:*to herself* Three more to go! Lets see if I can dodge all three!

They charged, yet she dodges aside and cracks her lance on his chest. They line up and charge again. This time Leah wasnt so lucky, his lance slamed into her unarmored torso, shattering and leaving splinters the size of nails stuck inside right as hers hit him high in the chest.

Leah:*gasp* Damn!

They charge again and Leahs shoulder is hit and she drops her lance. Three to two. Leah is by now far worse for wear, yet she wont put up the white flag.

Leah:*Gasp* *pant* This is ridiculus! *Pant* I challenged him so I should win! *pant**gasp* Or at least get a tie and limp away with my pride!

they charge again, this time Leah holds her lance and hits him first, square on the helmet and gets four lances. Elaniel's lance then hits her in the leg and unhorses her, getting an extra two point boosting him up to for as well.

[Kalile]

Ooc: Thank you, Sane!
As the ref stood watching, Kalile and Imharwen brought the fighters new lances.
"I'm gonna be your 'squire' for now. You alright? Did you have too much to drink before you fought? I mean, c'mon. It's Elaniel."

Ooc: I don't exactly get the rules, so tell me when it's over so that I can make it official.

[The last sane person]

OOC: the rules of a joust is this; opponents fought each other until four lances were scored, whoever scored four first wins. If you unhorse your opponent you get two points, if you break your lance anywhere else you get one point. Our match is at a tie and we have the tie breaking lance that determines the winner. After this lance is broken, the winner will be declared!

IC:

Leah gasped and panted as she remounted. The splinters from the lance were like spires of fire in her torso.

Kalile: What the matter with ya? did ya have to much to drink or what?

Leah:*choking* No...Lance....Splinters....In my torso.......can breath properly....

Kalile: Jeezus! we gotta get those out right now!

Leah:*Gasp* No, let this lance..... be broken first...!... I'll not lose.... to this...Prancing Pick-a-Ninny!!

Leah grabs the lance and charges Elaniel. she has trouble breathing and keeping the lance straight. at the last moment she leened back and raised her lance, sending Elaniel's lance going over her head and Elaniel falling off his horse. The fith lance is broken in Leahs favor. Kalile goes and leads Leahs horse back to the stables and leah collapses onto the floor and does not rise.
