~|Arena 2: Quiet forest|~

Length/Height: 60 feet (Square arena)
Height: Open skies

Arena Elements listed to date:

Stream

• The stream is shallow enough to wade through at the wide end, and narrow enough to easily jump over at the thin end.
• The stream is about ten feet wide at its widest, which is where the bridges cross.

Bridges

• The bridges are basically tree trunks, cut down and laid across the stream.
• Bridges will have a similar radius to the trees. (0.75 feet on average)

Trees

• Tree radius should be around 0.75 feet on average (this is for the bottom of the trunk, above the roots).

Ground

• The ground is muddy and moss-covered.

Additional Stuff

• Weather conditions will be cloudy for the first 10 posts of the fight, after which it will begin to rain heavily, making footing uneven.
• Magical barriers seal off area within the square area.

Minor OoC reminder, additional comment and final words:

- During fights, a contestant should post within three days of their opponent's post. (More details, look in the OoC)

I decided to start off Trixi in position one.

Let's have a good match and try to give each other our all, may the best fighter claim victory.

@Fallenreaper

I'm at Drill right now, should be done by this afternoon and have something up late this afternoon/early evening.

Cool and was worried for a bit my Jinx had started to spread. XD

I was starting to worry there for a while.

I have a post in the works, btw. It should be up shortly.

@ShidenBlades Finally sorry it took so long. I hope the post is acceptable, mainly as I don't have a lot of practice when it comes to arena posts and if I did anything wrong let me know. If it is acceptable, shall we begin?

How wide are these bridges?

@Fallenreaper

Replied.

How wide are these bridges?

Are you asking length or width? The width is stated in the OP. About 9 inches (0.75 feet).

@Drifting Pollen

How long are both bridges btw?

Also, I assume the bridges can hold both their weight? There's not a max weight limit, is there? ShidenBlades, any thing else you can think of, you might want to pipe up so I can officially update the OP with this stuff.

The width is per tree, I had thought that multiple trees were used to create the bridges?

Edit* Clearly I am wrong as I just reread the post and it makes sense to me now!

I had Pollen look over the OP to make sure I wrote it correctly as the information was from the Mountain OoC, including the recent. This is going to be a fun balancing act for both these PCs. Anyway, since it might be a bit before Pollen answers, I'm just going to leave the distance vague and write up my reply as I really want to get the show on the road else Trixi and Nicoli are going to be staring at each other until Feb. XD When Pollen comes on to tell the distance, we can make the adjustments in the OoC then continue on as needed. Sound alright with you?

@Fallenreaper Yup. Sounds good.

@Fallenreaper Yup. Sounds good.

You're up.

Again, I can't stress this enough, I'm still learning. If I make a mistake or you don't understand what I'm attempting to do, let me know then I will clarify it as best as I can when I get online. Most of this stuff is what I'm researching and trying to use as much common sense as possible with each reply, so part of the reason it takes me a while. I was watching youtube to make sure I was describing it right. So..yeah, physics are a pain.

Btw, it's most likely she would have her left foot out in front of her right when she strikes out with her baton and when she crouched down a bit, she's a few inches shorter then she is when fully upright. I would say about 3 inches at least. This way she keeps her balance while on that narrow ass log which I again, assume is slick as goose crap almost. Which I think I forgot to mention that in the post since we don't have a log length so it might seem like I made it shorter than I should've... XD

One more thing, @MelonHead, @Doc Doctor, @Vordak. I see you peeping toms!

@Fallenreaper

Working up my reply now. Have a couple questions, just to make sure we both have the same image in mind.

Trixi threw the dagger with her left hand, then stepped in with her right foot and swung with her right hand at Nicoli's left thigh with the batton. At the same time she is attacking with her right hand her left hand went back to grab onto her other baton and brought it forth for use?

All correct up to the last part, she has merely put it on ready to defend or attack. Currently on iPhone so give me an hour or three and I'll return the ball after your reply. So far we seem to be on the same page which is good.

Got to keep an eye on the competition

Add on:

Also, I assume the bridges can hold both their weight? There's not a max weight limit, is there? ShidenBlades, any thing else you can think of, you might want to pipe up so I can officially update the OP with this stuff.

I said (and you quoted in the OP) that "The stream is about ten feet wide at its widest, which is where the bridges cross." The bridges will thus be about ten feet in length, maybe eleven (since there's some overlap with the banks). Given the stated size of the trunks, they should be more than sturdy enough to hold both fighters at once... and since neither of these two characters rely on heavy weapons or armor, I doubt the weight limit would come into play.

Hope that helps :)

I did forget to look, meh. Though the reason I asked, the longest bridge appears to be at an angle and overlaps the bridge at the ends. I would imagine that changes the dimensions some, though not by much. So, I had to check again to be sure. Thank you.

Sure, ya are. :p Well, I wish you good Luck on your match and hope you're enjoying the show.
