Yeah, like the 100 year war or the Crusades, for example.

[DrSpike]

Well our final certainly wasn't a 100 years war.

Note: the descriptions are to liven things up and have no relation to the actual point values I was given - so if I write "stood in the corners of the arena not attacking each other", it does NOT mean both had A00, to take an example. The only real information is the amount of damage.

Round 1, Leg 1 Results

Battle 1: Jamski-San vs. Emperor Commodus

1. Commodus lands a blow for 10 points of damage.
2. See part 1.
3. See parts 1 and 2.

Jamski-San stands at 70 HP, Emperor Commodus at 100 HP.


Battle 2: Emperor Commodus vs. Lord Drogue

1. Both battlers dodge the each other's attacks.
2. Drogue takes a scratch for 9 HP.
3. Commodus evades Drogue's strike, but doesn't manage to counterattack

Emperor Commodus stands at 100 HP, Drogue at 91 HP.


Battle 3: Lord Drogue vs. Captain Flint

1.-2. The battlers stand in the centre of the arena eyeing each other menacingly.
3. After the audience boos at the two for a moment, Flint flinches and Lord Drogue takes advantage, throwing Flint back for 13 points of Damage.

Lord Drogue stands at 100 HP, Captain Flint at 87 HP.


Battle 4: Captain Flint vs. Spacius Maximus

1.-3. Flint tries but his assaults are to no avail - Spacius' sword needs some sharpening. Both stand at 100 HP.


Battle 5: Spacius Maximus vs. The Doctor

1. The two nemesises (nemesis? nemeses?) circle each other around the arena. "Nice shield. I can finally see you for the ugly bastard you are", Spacius taunts, but The Doctor holds his ground.
2. The Doctor smirks as if up to something, but a holler from the crowd distracts him for a moment. Spacius lunges forward and manages to scrape The Doc's foot for 6 points of damage.
3. Afraid of a counterattack Spacius withdraws - Doc sees no window of opportunity.

Spacius stands at 100 HP, The Doctor at 94 HP.


Battle 6: The Doctor vs. Jack the Knife

1. The audience, craving for some blood, is finally satisfied when Jack plants his knife in The Doctor's arm for 19 points of damage. The Doctor, however, replies by kicking Jack in the nuts for 24 points of damage. The male spectators clutch their own in sympathetic pain.
2. Jack keels down and writhes for a moment while The Doctor whips out a bandaid and patches his arm up.
3. With his arm fixed The Doctor charges at Jack and slashes his chest for another 24 points of damage. Jack, while falling down from the attack, manages to throw his knife at The Doctor's already hurt arm for additional 19 points of damage.

The Doctor has 62 HP, while Jack the Knife has 52 HP.


Battle 7: Jack the Knife vs. Trident Guy

1. Jack takes a courageous effort and scores a nice cut on Trident Guy's thigh for 19 points of damage. His guard drops, however, and Trident Guy kicks him in the belly for 11 points of damage.
2. Dazed by the attack, Jack lies on the ground unconscious while Trident Guy stabs him with his trident for 14 points of damage.
3. Jack manages to recover and stabs Trident Guy in the foot for another 19 points of damage. The incensed challenger responds by smacking him right in the face with the trident, causing 14 points of damage.

Jack stands at 61 HP, while Trident Guy has 62 HP.


Battle 8: Trident Guy vs. Jamski-San

1.-2. The two growl at each other, and Jamski-San manages to make a few quick and short attacks for 3 and 3 points of damage.
3. Trident Guy gets a bit more careful and dodges a third blow.

Trident Guy has 94 HP, Jamski-San is unscathed.

Now accepting orders for leg 2. You have 48 hours. But I wouldn't mind receiving them in 24.

[duke o' york]

I didn't realise that you had two sets of 100HP - I thought that both fights would take damage from the same, single, amount of HP.
I'm confused now.

I'll send my new orders in a mo though.

[Kassiopeia]

You have two battles going on simultaniously. Both are entirely separate entities, independent of each other. The reason they are played simultaniously is just because it helps the game go along faster.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Kass,

Great little write-ups. Me likey . Me orders are in for the next one.

Doc: If I weren't a dastardly villian, I'd call that sort of behaviour unsportsmanlike .

[DrSpike]

Same.

Just waiting on Ljube and Sheep?

[Kassiopeia]

And DrSpike. I have nothing from him yet - am I supposed to, Doc?
