I'm up for an Arena rp. Need to think up a character that could stand a chance, though. Not saying your char's OP, but I don't have anyone that can fight her fairly yet.
@Crossfire
Taleste stared at the alien, then grinned and shrugged.
"That's true of every mission. Worst comes to the worst, I cud jes surrender again. Dunno about the rest of you. My number one priority is stayin' alive an' I'm very gud at pursuading whuns that I'm better off alive than dead."

Eilidh Chiron
When the Hell Knight blocked her shaky, fast shot, Eilidh cursed to herself. She was galloping too fast to aim as well as she was capable of, and both knights were closing in. She didn't have time to aim another shot before two lance attacks were thrown at her. On, she asily avoided, but the other caught her side and ripped away a large portion of her skirt, as well as leaving a bleeding wound on her side. She swiftly sheathed the bow and drew her sword, and wheeled around to face the knights, leaving the side of the coach, which should now make it to the bridge and away from the jurisdiction of the Hell Knights as long as she dealt with these two quickly and then retreated herself, before backup arrived. She was in pain from the cut and the various smaller cuts and scrapes to her horse half, but her injury wouldn't hinder her, and the pain only served to get her mad and pump her up.
She held the sword up and roared out another war cry before charging them both at the same time. If they were still using slow lances, the strong warrior before them would be able to get inside their defences with fast swipes. If they'd switched to swords, their reach has now lessened and she'd have gotten close to them both before melee began. She swung her sword in a wide arc, parrying the weapons of both knights at once, then tried to stab at the first knight before he'd recovered.

Posted. Thinking of gearing this fight to wrap up soon. I didn't think Rags was going to win but I'm surprised how well she, and I did. You're a good teacher!

Rags kept her grip as her opponent moved, for as long as she held him, they were bound close and neither had offensive use of a hand, and this removed Aighrit's advantages far more than it damaged hers. This was her reasoning. Her foe was slippery and skilled at wrapping her up, but anchored to her, it was his unarmed hand versus her armed. No matter what he did, she would let go only as a last resort. The moment she noticed her sword strike would miss, she pulled it back, and kept it as a guard as she observed his movement, too unsure of what he was doing to risk making a rash move and walking into a trap.
When she noticed that his complex manoeuvre was culminating in a headbutt, she grinned and brought his head to meet his. They both collided in midair, and the double headbutt hurt them both. It hurt Rags more than Aighrit due to the added momentum of her arm being pulled but Rags had a very hard head, covered by rough, sandy skin and rougher, sandier hair. Aighrit did not emerge unscathed. For a moment it looked like Rags, having let go and staggered back, was going to fall, but instead she crouched, lowering her centre of gravity, though she was still looking a little wobbly after that headbutt. She needed time, even a few seconds more, to get her head clear, so she stayed on the defensive and began circling Aighrit with her sword up in a defensive position.

Nice to see some Shanarra love! Heritage of Shanarra is still one of the best Fantasy Trilogies/Quadrilogies of all time in my opinion, up there with;
The Elenium Trilogy by David Eddings.
It's got great characters, magic, evil, high stakes, a complex villainous scheme. Everything you want in a fantasy, to be honest. Check it out if you like Fantasy.
Here are a few other books I recommend.
Call Of The Wild by Jack London.
It's great. It's a story about a dog growing more wild until it goes to live with wolves.
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
It's a love story, but it's just so full of mystery, tension, and the main character and narrator is filled with paranoia and jealousy, and this comes through in the narration. It's really, really good.
Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Verne
Still one of the best adventure novels of all time despite it's age.

The backlash about a Wolfenstein game being about killing Nazis baffles me.
As if that's somehow a more political, Antifa shift away from the good old Wolfenstein where you....also killed Nazis...
Like, I remember the days of the real SJW, when it meant something and that something was 'horrible fucking person'. So horrible, in fact, that the current left-leaning POC-rights LBGT-rights feminist crowd now calls those people TERFs and thinks they're shitty, hate-filled people too.
SJW is a term that has lost all meaning.
