[TZDL2017] Leeroy vs Dias Blade - Preliminaries

Ruling

• The metal composition of Dias' scythe is unspecified.
• We did determine an average temperature for the superheated scythe described as being "red" which is at the same color saturation as Cherry(1) being at 581c to 745c at best. Within this range it's believed that the average is 663c.
• Leeroy's character shin had not accounted for his own "spine" or spike he unleashed into the ground which would have hindered his movements.
• Shin was stopped by his own "spine" immediately with exception of his right foot having faced at an angle to meet Dias. This stop would be referenced again in Leeroy's next attack by planting his left foot on the ground going back from his previous action (moving forward to block the blade). The only possible way he would go forward is on his right foot, but that stood on the ground according to his axe swing action as it never left. That means this spine hindered Shin's ability to move forward with his left foot and anticipate the scythe. He would not be able to move forward to meet it.
• This very spine projected from the right fore-arm of Shin which is the same arm his axe. This spine stopped all his movements except the right foot. The spine, coming from the same arm as his swing, may also disable his ability to retaliate. At any direction from his right arm (pulling against or pushing against) the spine, acting as an anchoring, also inhabits the very arm of Shin from decapitating his opponent.
• With the spine hindering Shin's ability to move forward also disallows his ability to block and retaliation. Since Dias has already posted his attack carries through from the original attack he made.
• Dias would NOT activate his Scythe Growth ability and attack because it required the initiation of Shin's block. Since Shin is unable to move forward and use his sword to block the scythe then Dias must proceed with his previous attack uninterrupted.
• The actual properties of the scythe cannot be determined though we have a number for the heat. This is important for the damage Shin may be taking.
• The swing Dias utilized was an up-to-down swing uppercut aimed for the groin of Leeroy. This is important for the damage may take.
• Dias buffed his physical abilities or "reinforce" them to possibly increase the potency of his movements including his previous evasion and attack.
• We do not know where the plates are located in the armor of Shin.
• The threads serve as a form of defense comparable to plate armor.

Verdict This took some intense amount of arguing but we boil down the damage Shin WILL be taking. The armor itself only specifies the overall durability of the character as double of what he could withstand, but we do not know where the plates are located. The pins inside his bones may also play a small rule in hindering the course of Dias' scythe. The armor, being able to weaken blows and disperse them, does not state a threshold but does lend credence to an ambiguous amount of damage potential it cannot ignore. We do not know the exact strength of "reinforced" physical attributes but we can only determine, because on shin's defenses, that the scythe penetrates through the groin and ends at the mid point to his stomach. It will not go any further because the armor, despite being split by the scythe, may have plates around the stomach region or abdomen which is coated in a hardness like steel. This does not kill Shin as he is only durable but tough enough to survive mortal wounds. We do not know when he'll succumb to shock or pain.

Due to the nature of this fight: The scythe attack connects. Leeroy it is your turn to attack; however, because Dias will be rollback a turn which rendered his actions invalid (due to the update of this fight). We will grant him an Edit On Demand to adjust for the information given. When he is finish editing his last post then it is your turn to post and continue the fight. Dias please highlight the text with any indicator of what has changed in your post so your opponent and ourselves can see it.

[TZDL2017] Dynamo Frokane vs Xavier Mudvayne - Quarterfinals

@Devil playing, I didnt edit my character for tournament play when my profile was pending so I dont know why pending suddenly means Im in a match.

EDIT: feel free to swap me out for someone else who wanted in on this tournament.

@Dynamo Frokane

It's a little late for that and sorry for the oversight. Does this mean you are withdrawing?

[TZDL2017] Dynamo Frokane vs Xavier Mudvayne - Quarterfinals

@Devil@Xavier Bloodbayne seems as though there has been a mistake, I have not put myself forward for this tournament.

@Dynamo Frokane

what exactly do you meant forward? Do you mean your quarterfinal positioning or your intention of playing?

[TZDL2017] Rai vs Tasuke - Preliminaries

@Devil
So is there judging to award a winner in this tournament? If we have to wait until every fight is complete I'd think more than two weeks is needed.

@Rai

Well the thing is we don't know for sure the fight between Leeroy and Dais is over and ultimately either of those are the next opponent for whoever wins this match. Every other match is in the quarterfinals.

BUUUUT.. I have considered that maybe a week or two should be a bit more than enough time. I'd say a week an a half which is only 10 days and this only applies to AFTER LeeRoy and Dias are over. I will not extend it any further than that.

[TZDL2017] Rai vs Tasuke - Preliminaries

As I said Tasuke in Discord: If this "fight" does not end by the time Dias vs Leeroy resolves I will disqualify you both.

Anubis' Tomb

Egyptian pyramids are archaeologist’s prized discoveries, an open gateway into an arcane world where pharaohs die with their treasures. Emperors ceaselessly tire their existences for immortality on the back of countless slaves, erecting monolithic tombs excavating profound burial chambers were Inpu escorts fallen kings through a valley of deceased men. Scholars across the world marvel at its structural design. The monumental edifice bound 2 wandering spirits inside, locked inside eroding desert stone stacked like stairs to an ascension to where ancient Gods welcomed dead rulers. A towering square pyramid (square base, for those not familiar with pyramid designs) jetting from sand with a fading bronze tint on resilient limestone, crackling with age beneath a golden radiance of Ra eclipsing a blue-sky. Each rock mounted on one another in a symmetrical square where weight distributed from the zenith decreases, but the Pyramidion decayed to an octagonal formation being chipped to a mangle malformation it dutifully represented.

The pyramid’s battered surface belies a deeper significance having a colossally greater volume than Khufu stone flag resting in Giza’s plateau. Its location obscured by electronic interference that subvert satellite surveillance, and depicts normal mountain ranges where this behemoth of ancient ingenuity slept. This anomaly went undetected by several nations as electromagnetic disturbances were accounted for by sandstorms and terrestrial heat, but few explorers unearthed truths far exceeding humanity’s expectations.. and seldom shared them. The pyramid is wedged in a very deep chasm where a single side is against bedrock for thousands of years, keeping itself camouflaged from marauders and gravediggers alike as a disguised mountain slope. Many that are aware understood the unwitting coincidence of nature, but a minority of the cabal believed it was engineered this way.

Now the interior of this mammoth construct is where a cacophony between two kindred spirits would convene. When one enters from a lavish entrance crusted in gold they would meet a walking path with sandstones carefully fixed on either side of said trail, 3 inch stones placed and 8 feet spaced apart. The floor adjacent contained beautiful stone carvings of mysterious Sumerian cuneiform, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and even Cretan inscriptions throughout the floor. The sanctum, with all its diverse pictographs chiseled on the floor, is not without a robust amount of dimension. The room appeared 200' wide by 400' long, its ceiling height far beyond human reach at staggering 500' where square columns can be seen further down. When one continues to traverse this walkway they would notice a slant floor 97' from their entry. It appears at a certain distance, the floor elevation for the entire chamber shifts 6 feet above normal with a 45 degree slope. One could assume as they continue to walk, they will meet another hill-esque floor raise until the last 97' feet is met where an intimidating 25' statue of Osiris standong on top a conquered 30' Inpu.

The ebony canine deity lying beneath a sole sandal of gold resting its position with scepter n hand skewed onto the fallen’s back. He lay motionless on his belly like a serpent, arms spaced as one would expect from a vanquished foe. Osiris was made of silver that seem to age to a proper teal, his helm bronze and define chest bare with scars engraved unto his muscular visage. The silver underworld king knelt before any person that approached, handing out a throne made of the exotic yellow metal. A skeleton seated comfortably in garbs too old to date and jewelry far too expensive to yield. Whomever burial chamber belong to may have left the hint: he falls to the underworld -- killing death.

Throughout the exquisite tapestry of ancient ceramics lining the merigold walls were pillars of vintage Egyptian hieroglyphics etched in navy blue. These posts towered far above human height as they merged with the ceiling, although it appears one scaffolding remained somehow untouched but apparently much more modern than these chambers allowed. These daises were accessible by degenerated pieces of lumber scattered adjacent each pillar, and the area of each column is 20x20' thick of unadulterated stone. Traces of marble faintly gleamed behind stained sand that has accumulated for millenniums, dousing the floor in grain older than most civilizations through small ventilations near the ceiling, but most were congested by debris from broken stone, other statues on upper levels, or harden sand.

Light was provided by several unfathomable sources found throughout and one particular instance was the very ground itself. It produced a significant amount of an apricot luminescence without compromising one’s ability to see, but how this was accomplished remained unseen. Torches grafted on walls and revealing a brown luster from a shimmering red core it radiated, leaving most of the ambiance in a vague blonde luster where light couldn’t reach the upper echelon of the chamber. Then onto Osiris with his snarling complexion brought about a supernatural glow of red from every eye of his scowl, the entire area surrounding him concealed in a faint aura of cherry and honey luminosity that one could identify his defined and timeless features from the doorway. Despite how well lit this exaggerating room was, darkness lurked about the far end pillars, corners, and the entirety of the ceiling was poorly lit. Skeletal remains of what appears to be a deceased dinosaur, wyvern, or a dragon hardly venting its and buffed in a dandelion saturation from years of ambient sand. One of the eastern pillars laid across the 2nd and 3rd floor elevation not far from the slope divide. 2 large portions seemingly fell in a peculiar angel with debris scattered about and neglected. The very columns fissuring the floor beneath in hairlines as its structure only chipped from its descent.

Each fighter appeared on either side of a pharaoh’s mausoleum roughly 110' apart, and they will duel with the intent of burying another king here in the sands of time. They will die here in obscurity. ~Mobius TZDL2017 Quarterfinals

Notify me of any numerical mistakes, geometry mistakes, or spelling mistakes immediately.

Oh some trivia: The 3 inch blocks make a boarder path that leads to the throne where Inpu and Osiris are. The walkway is smooth and contains no hieroglyphics.

Also: The ceiling does not slope up or down like the floor does as it elevates, so the ceiling maintains the same height (just means the floor is slightly closer to the ceiling. Not by much though)

And: Inpu is 30 feet long laying on the ground, about 3 to 5 feet thick depending on body proportions (shoulder to shoulder is 8 or more give or take.). Same goes for Osiris minus the helm which is longer.
