Frost Tiger Arena.
Start: 08/13/2015
End: 09/18/2015
Combatants: @Yoshua171 vs. @Descartes
First Post: Yoshua171



This battlefield sees opponents standing atop a platform no more than 50 yards apart. The area is more than 1,300 square yards. The tiger statues are roughly 60 feet tall, the temperature is roughly 20-degrees Fahrenheit, or -6 degrees Celsius. It is cold and the snow should be taken into account in your posts as well as the temperature.

First Post may choose which platform, left or right they choose to start on.

[yoshua171]

You may go @Descartes.

[Descartes]

What time is it? Or really, is it night or morning?

[yoshua171]

Doesn't really matter to me. You can choose. Especially since it's snowing and both our character's can see in the dark.

[yoshua171]

Interesting choice of actions. Hmm, now to decide on the best course of action.

[yoshua171]

Welp I'm heading to bed @Descartes. It's your turn.

[Descartes]

How bright is the light exactly?

[yoshua171]

I don't really know how to measure that sort of thing. It would be like trying to look directly at the sun.

Also, something you ought to know about Raelis' magic.

The Light of Devene, his magic, is literally star light from his home world's star, Rhay. So while Jordan isn't going to get hurt much by the light itself so long as he wears that mask, the moment it gets broken he's gonna be in a lot more trouble than normal.

Just a heads up.

The way Jordan is moving, he should end up in the center of the web. This means he won't be cut as they're a hole in the center. However, it will mean that he won't have many avenues of escape. The portion of the "opening," in the web above him closes once he is in it. So no jumping up and out.

[Descartes]

Where's the light coming from, and how far dies it reach?

[yoshua171]

The light is coming from the ground moving upwards. It's in the post.

How far it is reaching depends on how far from Raelis, Jordan is.

[yoshua171]

@Descartes I changed the heat of the rays of light. I miscalculated the amount of heat. So yeah it went DOWN from 700 to 620 degrees.

[yoshua171]

@Descartes

If you're wondering how I crossed that much distance that fast. Here:

Raelis can accelerated up to 40 mph very quickly. 40 mph is the equivalent of 17 meters per second. So that's how he covered a bit over 17 meters that quickly.

As to the flight speeds thing. It is stated your bat can fly, at max, 25 mph, which is 11 meters per second.

Raelis cruise speed (average flight speed) is between 80 and 200 mph. So he can easily outpace Jordan in the air.

Jordan had no way of knowing this of course, but I'm telling you so we're on the same page, even though it is in my CS.

Consider it double checking.

Edit: Another note. Jordan, if my post goes through, is within the aura of light so he currently can't see anything around him. That combined with the tremendous heat is most likely going to mess with his sense of direction.

Don't dictate what you think should happen to someone elses character. If something you do doesn't seem to register in your opponents post pm me.

[yoshua171]

I don't see the issue with offering my thoughts in the interest of clear communication. However, you're the judge and the host, so I'll concede on that point.

[Skallagrim]

The heat may or may not affect his echolocation.

[yoshua171]

The heat may or may not affect his echolocation.

@Skallagrim

Oh I wasn't referring to that actually haha. I meant generally, but yes that would certainly make it easier to maintain his bearings.

Anywho, we shall see. Not up to me.

[Descartes]

Man. I almost can't tell who's the heel anymore. Vordak must be looking at this and either laughing or sounding off disappointed.
