Stefano smiled as he saw his plan coming to fruition, his attitude changed when he saw the crowd obscuring any clear shot at the orc leader. "Well this complicates things..." he walked towards the dueling circle, trying to find a good shot when he saw Ojan and Ulri and his mind switched to more... lucrative ventures. "Boys! How would you like to help your dear uncle Stefano make some coin?"

"Ya ya heard, put ya coin in the hat! Fifty fifty chance of profit! Five coin goes to Stefano! The rest to forune and maybe back to you!" The twins want through the crowd silently getting the soldiers attention and collecting their bets. Few soldiers had the money yet a large those that did bet with gusto. It wouldn't be the largest payout Stefano had ever seen but with the mandatory buy in and as long as his champion won... He looked at his own beret, the pool for those who bet on Silas. "I've won a fortune on you before l, Silas Rose. I hope you won't let me down." he and the twins approached the dual. Unable to see the action over the larger man and orcs.Umm... Ojan? Can you give me a boost?" the man smiled as he one else down so Stefano could sit on his shoulders like a child at a fair.

Stefano had his arqubus strapped to his back. Should things go south he was ready. As he sat in the best seat in the house he saw the mysterious dancer off in the crowd. He yelled after her "My champion! Would you like a box seat to the dual of the century? I seem to have a extra twin with a strong set of shoulders!" Ulri rolled his eyes. "Would you like a seat miss?"

Sorry for the short choppy paragraphs guys just trying to get through these doors.

Gilligan puzzled the door a few more moments before deciding to take the center staircase, from what he gathered the deft and right doors would only take him to the start of the hallway. He of course suspected another magical trick, yet he had to admit... This was kind of fun.

Gilligan figured that as long as he was here he might as well check behind the right hand door before progressing, so he left the center door wide open and then opened the right hand door and peeked his head through.

Sorry I hit the wrong button and posted early and my phone is crapping out on me. I'll try to finnish the post tonight but no promises.

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

Ludivico

Ludivico kept expertly backstepping the orcs rapid thrusts waiting for the perfect moment to retaliate when, until his moment came. His opponent thrust his spear to far forward and low to the ground thus over extending himself. Ludivico took the opportunity to flip one of his axes in his hand and slash upward burrying the axe head through the orcs exposed neck and chin. He then swivled on his feet slamming the second axe through the right side of the neck decapitating the orc. He raised the severed head, still attached to his axe and admired the grisly trophy when he heard a second shot from Stefano ending the shield orc.

He looked back to see the twins raising the farm boy into a sitting position. The poor kid looked like he hadn't the slightest clue were he was. The twins made to carry him off the battlefield when Stefano's hounds started howling again, signalling trouble. Ludivico looked to see two more armored orcs charging, both wielding massive weapons. He barked orders for Ulri to get the farm boy out of here. With a heavy flick of the wrist he lobbed the head of the orc into the face of the maul orc. The beast looked stunned for a moment, and then very, very, pissed.

He and his companion were heading straight towards Ludivico, their weapons raised and their eyes glimmering with malice. Ludivico let them advance as it would give his own allies time to rally. Sure enough three furred warriors streaked past the pirate the two bloodhounds sinking their teeth into the greataxe orcs right leg forcing him to stop. The wolfhound went for the maul orcs heel but was unable to sink his teeth into him.

The maul orc reached him and swung at Ludivico's head. He ducked and took a quick swing that grazed the orcs side. The orc set his next swing in a downward slam, forcing Ludivico to roll forward into his opponets guard. However this put him into range of the axe orc. His new foe swung forcing him to duck. Instead of lifting his maul for his next attack the orc turned and punched a mailed fist into the small of Ludivico's back, driving forwards and to his knees. The maul orc put his fists together and made to bring them slamming down into his foe, when he felt a sword slash deep into his side. He turned to he turned to see Ojan breathing heavily after charging to his commanders aid.

This distraction was all Ludivico needed as he rolled away from the axemens next strike and as he completed his roll he brought both of his axes crashing into the maul orcs leg. The momentum of his blows severed the orcs let and brought him to the earth howling.

Livilla had ripped off the leather straps connecting the shin guard of the axe orc. Once this was done Agrippina was able to sink her teeth into the orcs lower leg and rip off a meaty hunk of muscle bringing him too, crashing to the ground. The dogs set about ripping and tearing at him while Ludivico rose to his feet chopping at the orcs neck ending its life. Oman stabbed downward into the maul orc ending him as well.

Stefano

Stefano saw the charging archers and scrambled to formulate a plan. The two rampaging greenskins had drawn shortswords and were ready to rip into the former nobelmen with them. Drusilla luckily was swifter then them and returned to Stefano's hand. "Go say hello to your old friend my sweet!" Stefano cooed to the falcon as he sent her in a straight path to the orc who she had clawed earlier. With a deafening screech she dug her hind talons into his eyes, pulling up towards where the sockets met skull and dragged the dagger like claw across the orcs forehead. The forced of the strike knocked the orc to the ground were he writhed in blind hate and agony as Drusilla swooped down on him over and over again.

Stefano was now left with one orc to deal with. He was left with little options as all of his normal tools were preoccupied. Not even Drusilla would reach him in time, so he grabbed his unloaded arqubus and rolled the dice.

"One more step you filthy barbarian, and I'll blow your brains all over the countryside!" this to everyone's surprise gave the orc pause. "That's right savage! Your master was wise to send you after me, but he was foolish not to send his entire army! For my stick of metal and fire thirsts for the souls of all who oppose me!"Stefano noticed the orcs legs shaking, good gods this might actually work. "The only reason you draw breath scum is I need to message delivered. Tell your master I would meet him in open combat! Tell him to recall his warriors and face our champion like a true warrior." Seeing him hesitate Stefano pulled back the empty match lock. This certainly turned him in the other direction.

Wasting no time Stefano pulled some parchment and charcoal from his pockets and hastly wrote a note. He then raised a glove for Drusilla who finnaly ceased her mauling of the second archer to have the message attached to her leg. Stefano sent her off towards Silas.

Stefano walked towords the blinded and bleeding archer with the retrived arrow that had cut his cheek. He kneeled next to the crippled orc and whispered to him, "Thanks for the competition." as he drove the head of the arrow into his neck.

Gilligan thought a moment as he ate the rest of his apple, saving the core in case he needed it. Gilligan thought about himself and summed himself up. Yes he was lazy, overconfident, poorly prepared, and in over his head but by the gods he was no quitter! Actually be was a huge quitter. He gave up on nearly everything hard or confusing in his life, yet at this particular moment he felt unnaturally motivated.

He went back down the hallway and strode boldly into the center door.

@Arthanus ya I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this but it happens sometimes. Dammit I thought our characters had really good chemistry.
Edit: never mind illogical Jim sorry. I'll try to get a post tonight or some time tomorrow.

Be my GM

Gilligan puzzled out the mystery for a few moments and suddenly was struck with a good test to the nature of the doors. He walked the length of the hallway and came back upon the three doors. He dug into his lunch sack and pulled out his Apple he opened (or perhaps reopened depending on how this goes) the door on the left and gently rolled the fruit through the doorway. He then turned around and came back to the door he had came in at to see if his Apple had tracked back to the start of the room.

@TwelveOf8@Love Dove@Rhythmloid

I apologize team for not explaining things correctly. For this part I was hoping to trade off GM one post at a time unless something heated was currently happening. If you want though we can give twelve the reins until he's done then pass it on I leave it up to you.

Rhythm I'm sorry you feel that way. If you change your mind and want to try and step in the doors always open.
