Gathering the Bestial Keys

Frost resistance makes more sense, resisting earth based attacks works though, and just having your character be all-round harder to unbalance or knock over.

The key would be better as a passive, sort of like a learned skill from racing a mountain goat up a terribly dangerous mountain.

Gathering the Bestial Keys

The Mountain Goat King would probably have the key of the mountain, which translates to frost resistance, sure-footedness on unstable terrain, and roughly the ability to pre-empt earth and nature (basically natural) attacks (aka avalanches or blizzards)

Gathering the Bestial Keys

Can I challenge you to a death race up an icy mountain as the king of mountain goats?

@MelonHead alright heres my proposal, i'll fight your ghoul but I wont use Zai-Matsu, too many strategic disadvantages. But I will use Rodetta The Red for a more med-evil match up. Yes I will have fire, but you will also have the muskets.

Or if you are set on facing Zai-Matsu I'd be happy to use him against one of your other characters.

@Dynamo Frokane

Rodetta can literally kill him with one attack, but if you feel like you really need that much of an advantage I guess I'll bring renaissance Isaac to battle. ^_^

PMs are fine. or the CS' portion.

But no. I mean like races, capture the flags, and such.

@Rilla

Doesn't really sound like my sort of thing, though I do like to tell a story in Arena so I suppose I may give something like that a go in the future.

Do you mean issuing challenges?

I just did it over PM, as it wasn't clear if there was an official challenge thread.

Yeah, I'm too fickle to bring back any old characters, I just produce new ones for the lolz.

The Guardian and The Ghoul (Ranked fight at The Ambassador's Ball)

I overlook logic all the time. That's how Melon's character was dropped kicked in the back by a giant chicken and head butted the ass of another character, who head butted a tree and died from a broken neck.

@Rilla

You're bringing up terrible memories for me right now.

Ironically, I've had a deep rooted fear of ostriches for most of my life after one bit me when I was about seven, so I've come to expect that sort of shit from giant birds.

The Guardian and The Ghoul (Ranked fight at The Ambassador's Ball)

I grow tired of this physics debate. Let's just conveniently overlook logic this one time and get on with the fight.

The Guardian and The Ghoul (Ranked fight at The Ambassador's Ball)

“Well, fuck me.” Isaac swore as the smoke cleared, having just witnessed his agile opponent literally bat his shot straight into the assassin attacking his charge. To the Ghoul it all looked completely intentional, and it actually worried him a little.

Usually Isaac would have just dropped his pistols immediately and drawn his sword, striding forward to skewer his foe the moment he hit the ground, ensuring he was finished. However, the Ghoul was so put out by his opponent’s apparent superhuman speed and skill that he remained stationary, slowly holstering the spent pistols.

He was ever aware of his opponent’s movements as he dropped about six feet away, so it was unlikely he could be caught unawares as his right hand dropped to the hilt of his sword and he considered his options. The screaming all around him as people dropped and assassins were sliced to ribbons by highly trained guards became a niggling irritation as he eyed up his foe.

I really don’t want to fight this guy, Isaac thought, weighing up his chances of escaping the bite of one of the bastard’s blades if he just legged it out of the building. The confusion would be an ideal cover, but then again after what he had seen thus far he wasn’t fighting even an extraordinary man. He was fighting a goddamn pariah of guarding perfection. Fucking Guardian, he hadn’t realised how apt that name was until then.

“Fuck it.” He muttered, drawing the blade from its sheath with a leathery rasp, holding it at a forty five degree guard position pointed towards his foe. There was an advantage here for him, his sword was longer (way-hey! He inwardly chuckled) and so far this supreme-guard hadn’t seen how quick Isaac himself was. He’d get a taste of that now. He advanced quickly on his right foot, his left behind and turned in a classic fencer stance, perhaps betraying his fighting style if Guardian was familiar with it. One swift step brought him within range to strike out at Guardian with a cautious thrust, high and towards the left side of his torso. Isaac was prepared at any moment to abandon his own strike and retreat, as he was taught, but should Guardian not react well Isaac’s blade would smoothly pierce through his flesh and cause a grievous wound.
