[u]Thessir's[/u] seemingly-clever plan failed thanks to the laws of reality, as he found out. In an attempt to salvage the situation, he made use of the shadows to get close to [u]Kazudain[/u] and try to take him out in order for the fight to end before [u]Maldur[/u] could do anything.

Meanwhile, [u]Maldur[/u] has done little damage to [u]Thessir's[/u] dark, amorphous body which has entangled itself to its limbs, locking it in place. After [u]Thessir's[/u] plan failed, [u]Maldur[/u] was free to move again but its target has reached its master via the darkness cast by their shadows. The beast may be swift but it had limited options against the Rogue Elf with this distance.

[u]Thessir[/u] was quick with his knives. [u]Kazudain[/u] was technically quicker but he was still in a meditative state and it would take time to get out of it, much less react to the attack. Meanwhile, [u]Maldur's[/u] options were limited but there were still options.

[u]Raviel[/u] was hit by [u]Seleth's[/u] 'Misleading Dazzle'. The spell blurred the Beastkin's sense of direction so when he attempted to back away, he went to a different direction, allowing the Dark Elf to knock him off his feet.

Still, [u]Raviel[/u] was able to teleport away. However, he was still under the effects of [u]Misleading Dazzle[/u] so instead of teleporting to a safe distance from [u]Seleth[/u], [u]Raviel[/u] found himself appearing above the Dark Elf. There was a moment before [u]Raviel[/u] landed on [u]Seleth[/u] in a rather comic moment of the match. The two fighters could feel the audience's, as well as the referee's, amusement at this development.

The fight was not over, however, and the effects of 'Misleading Dazzle' were wearing off. [u]Raviel[/u] and [u]Seleth[/u] may be entangled on each other for the moment but this only meant that the quickest in move and wit could seize the advantage.

[u]Faye[/u] sent out her crescent wind attacks but they were blocked by Ragnar's axe. Ragnar then strafed to the side to evade the wind spears hurled at him and charged [u]Faye[/u]. Instead of attacking with the axe, however, Ragnar tackled the Fox Beastkin to the ground.

Ragnar then followed it up with an overhead swing, aimed at the grounded [u]Faye[/u]. The attack was slow enough for [u]Faye[/u] to react to though.

Meanwhile, [u]Tibrus[/u] was duelling the thug with the longsword. His decent pose indicated some skill but he was definitely no military material. The thug began the fight with a heavy, horizontal swing at [u]Tibrus[/u]. It was a little clumsy but it had power behind it.

Your long journey has taken you to this place. Zauberheim, the capital city of Razelia. The seers of your homeland speak of a great event that shall happen here. They speak with mystery and uncertainty and fear. Fear for the future. One thing was for certain though, it would be something that shall affect the entire world.

You arrived at Zauberheim by evening, the night sky dotted with bright stars with the occasional cloud here and there. The city itself was alight with activity. The tournament you had heard of was certainly being celebrated here. Tournament-related merchandise were sold on almost every stall. Food and drink were aplenty. Inns for visitors were advertised. Truly, the night was not done yet.

Once you were paid and dismissed from the merchant caravan you attached to, you find yourself wandering into the alleyways of the town where you first entered. You were deep into the town when you heard sounds of fighting. You investigate and find yourself near a conspicuous warehouse and beside that warehouse was a small skirmish between four people.

You spot three Humans and one Beastkin. Two of the Humans were fighting each other while one Human had tackled the Beastkin into the ground and was about to swing his large axe at her. What shall you do?
