Reason, lad, reasons. The Key. You both have half. Not gonna let the Forgotten have access to it that easily.
Its a lot of one vs one but if you can come up with a brawl scenario it could be worked in.
The supercard is the end of the year story based fighting to set up next years potential character storylines.
The reality is had I let both fights go on another week the outcome may have different. But we are in a tourney and follow a schedule.
Well some of us are, others are *cough*Rilla*cough* Jobbers.
Skallagrim glanced at the wolfman, a blaze of light emanated from his eyesockets, “War has come to the Nexus. The staff will open portals to home worlds . . . “
Before the Cughtagh could finish a loud explosion rocked the building, followed by screams of pain. Drawing the energies around him, the skeletal being begin to hum as a surge of energy rippled across the room. The body of an aide rocketed through a doorway into the room, where the crumpled body, landed with a heavy thud.
Shadows loomed in the doorway, followed by deep and throaty laughter. A tall creature, nearly seven feet in height, stepped into the room, others flooded in behind him. Wicked, inky black weapons oozing with energy crackled. Massive wings flexed and folded against the backs of these creatures.
“The Key! Where is the Key?”
Skallagrim chuckled as he glanced at each of the seven beings that faced off against him, “This is not your fight Daniel, you should go.” Tapping the sword that nestled in the sheath, he spoke again, “You are a fool N’Katya. You have always been a fool who lusted for power. You have been locked in the gloom for so long you cannot see the truth before you.”
“Silence!” roared the one called N’Katya. “You have grown soft, weak while I have grown strong in the Galdhr. Give me the Key and I shall spare you witnessing the execution of the Queen.”
Beyond the great room, screams and howls continued as some of the staff valiantly fought back, trying to ensure the safety of the guests. Another explosion rocked the Hall, followed by the sounds of heavy energy weapons being discharged.
“Your minions do not have the weapons to harm us.” N’Katya stated as she moved forward slowly, the glaive held low with the blade brushing the ground, “Skallagrim you don’t believe that you can hold this place from us do you?” Glancing at her companions then back at the Cughtagh, “The Lord of Nightmares will be free this day.”
Chuckling, Skallagrim raised a hand, swarming amethyst energies raced around it, cascading down his arm and swirling rapidly around his body. “You are not master here, I am. Lay down your weapons and I shall speak on your behalf, I shall plead mercy for you and your rebellious companions.”
Snarling, N’Katya moved her left hand so quickly that Skallagrim was caught off guard as gravity shifted and nearly one ton of weight pressed down on the Cughtagh, who dropped to a knee. The swirling tendrils of energy lashed out, lightning fast, striking the winged being in the chest, lifting her off her feet and casting her back into a few of her companions and out the hall.
The two other Forgotten rushed forward, their fluid black weapons ready to strike the skeletal from slowly raising to his feet, struggling against the very increasing pressure of gravity. With great effort Skallagrim tried to draw his sword, however he was a late.
The two maces hammered Skallagrim with such force that he emitted a howl of pain as the Galdhr flared around the skeletal form. Again amethyst energies flared and exploded around Skallagrim as the two Forgotten were knocked to the ground and across the floor into a wall.
In the doorway, N’Katya loomed, the glaive pointing at Skallagrim, “Today you die Cughtagh. Today you shall feel the power of the Nightmares!”
With great effort, the war sword sprang free and into the hands of Skallagrim, still on one knee as he focused on repelling the Galdhr that increasing the gravity around him. He had to buy time to create a portal and send the winners of this round to a place where they might fight without the presence of the Forgotten.
“N’Katya, you have always been a braggart. Yet for ever boast you have made, I have bested you. Today shall be no different!”
With a howl of rage, the tall winged Xindhi thrust the glaive at Skallagrim, and energy rocketed the skeletal being through the wall into the great foyer where several of the staff, hunkered down behind overturned tables struggled to keep the Forgotten from getting to the portals where guests were fleeing.

GreivousKhan vs. Yoshua171
Ok you two wrote very detailed posts and pushed each other. I would have preferred to let you two duke it out until only one is left standing.
1-Characters
Both are excellent at describing your characters, their weapons, what they see etc. You both raised the bar and matched each other quite well. This turned out to be an interesting match to read.
Yoshua171: 3.85
GreivousKhan:. 3.85
2-Introduction
Wow. Your introductions are detailed, well written with some minor issues but my goodness. The reader is pulled into the characters with such a deft touch that I learned more of them and their motivations. Well done. Your introductory/stance posts had a gravity about them that painted them both as deadly combatants.
Yoshua171: 3.90
GreivousKhan: 3.90
3-Action
Yoshua171, you always write action nicely. I think you have a good eye towards writing action. I like how you make notice of the minute details of the arena which add a depth to your writing which enhances. 3.80
GreivousKhan, you have grown. You have developed depth, and there is a wonderful mesh of your actions, your opponents and with a good partner your writing elevates to almost cinematic levels. 3.80
4-Attack/Conflict
This was really touch because you both are excellent tacticians when employing your powers, weapons and movements. You continually apply your individual ‘magics’ in such a way that the reader can visualize the heat, the swarming clouds and present a dramatic foreboding that is fun to read.
Yoshua171: 3.90
GreivousKhan: 3.90
5-Defense/Resolution
I applaud you both on defense. You kept the reader (me) engrossed with glimpse of the characters internal monologues, that helped explain in detail the defense and why. These were not simple posts of defense. I think that you both have elevated my expectations of what arena fighters should produce in the arena.
Yoshua171- 3. 85
GreivousKhan - 3.90
6- Creativity
I am blown away. First Yoshua you are a very good writer and present a complete picture for what and how a character should been seen in the arena. Some minor issues that broke the story for me, but overall if you stay, your creativity and the concepts you developed will keep you constantly in the top of the leader board. 3.90
Khan, you always display creativity in your characters. The shift from the undead characters you are known for and fully developing this character, the backstory and the ‘humanity’ have propelled you beyond the writer you were last year. This character has a depth that I found lacking in some of your other characters. 3.90
Score: Yoshua171- 23.20
GreivousKhan -23.25

Back in days of the old guild, we had a thread that stated RPG rules and guidelines to Arena RP. I'm curious to know if there is still one of those threads, so I can turn my homies in its direction to catch them up.
I remember those general rules. You'd have to talk to Rilla. It may be tucked away somewhere or Rilla can get his hands on the general arena rules again.
I will get the scene up later today. Grading Kahn/Yoshua now and preparing the battlefield for the final match.
