NO WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE HALF DEMONS PLEASE

@LeeRoy

Damnit, now I have to discard Edge, the half demon half vampire sword master sorcerer I was working on.

I've been giving it some thought and I suddenly realize that all this arena stuff is just too difficult for me. I surrender. See ya round.

I'm happy to give you a day or two to re-consider if you want, otherwise I'll engineer the situation so that my character flees the scene after inflicting a minor wound, I'd rather not murder your character.

Also, don't end the fight with a ceasing universe, it pisses off anyone who happened to be reading the battle ^_^

@Rilla, I've been giving it some thought and I suddenly realize that all this arena stuff is just too difficult for me. Take me off the leader board. See ya round.

That sucks man, though I would thoroughly recommend you stick with it for a little while before abandoning it completely, though if you do leave the ranked matches at least enjoy some unranked fighting (which is a lot less intensive, and can help with learning all this Arena malarkey at a more relaxed pace.)

I'd hate to think I'd played a part in scaring you away, though if it's any re-assurance I am actually above average in terms of skill for the whole fighting thing, I've been doing it for like three years now on RPG.

I've always found fencing such a cool form of fighting, I probably would have taken it up if I wasn't such a huge target.

Boxing would have been pretty cool as well, but I've been punched and kicked in the nose too many times already, it fucking hurts.

... Fire is beautiful ...

O.....K definitely not useful dragon spirits.

Isaac expected the parry, and indeed was hoping for it, because as soon as his opponent moved his left arm to deflect the sword strike he exposed Isaac’s true target. Isaac twisted his sword-hand so his knuckles were facing leftward, forcing his blade to dart leftward and underneath his opponent’s own sword, hopefully cutting a groove into the flesh of his forearm. As he did so he sought to ‘fly back’ which was in his school of fencing the preferred move after any strike, regardless of success. The intended outcome of all of this was for Isaac to take a step backwards with his sword cutting a line along the outside of his opponent’s left forearm and wrist, a painful and potentially disabling attack. Considering Gaurdian had already committed to his parry, as opposed to just stepping back or even darting around the weapon with longer reach, there was a good chance Isaac would have opportunity to draw first blood here.

Regardless, his opponent was likely to reconsider advancing after realising the true intent of Isaac’s thrust, but Isaac was stepping back regardless, followed by a quick anti-clockwise circling that put him just off to his opponent’s hopefully weakened left side, but only a step away.

Gathering the Bestial Keys

Dancing on a volcano for two days I'd say.

Gathering the Bestial Keys

Still sounds easier than some of his other challenges.

Gathering the Bestial Keys

Only clothes and natural abilities, you can't use any other bestial keys in the Mountain King's realm.

Gathering the Bestial Keys

Works for me. I'll get Frost from someone else. Hahahah.

Anyway, any stipulations/restrictions?

@Rilla

In terms of how the power works? Or the challenge itself?

If you mean the challenge, then you're only allowed to bring the clothes on your back, and can't directly attack the other racer, you obviously have to climb the mountain, and the first to the top wins.
