Horfil says:
"See told you I would lose."
And then blacks out.
Ruul can't find any vitals.
He's fine. He's just unconscious. 3 hours of rest ought to do the trick, even.
Concerned with the well being of Horfil, Zeltor approaches the elf, trying to garner his general state.
"He is fine" - he reassures Ruul - "Simply unconscious - he should recover in a couple of... hours"
Sorval watches the elf get knocked uncounscious in single blow. She notes that no magic was involved. I have a question; are we allowed the use of spells in the... ring? Like something from the abjuration or illusion schools; as long as it doesn't cause lasting harm?
Kaede goes back to the house to grab her hedge clippers once it is ascertained that Horfil isn't actually dead. The ringemaster lets go of a large breath also.
"Oh, you mean you're magikers...? That would explain why your elf withstood a single hit... Yes, yes, that would be acceptable."
Hmm..Maybe have Sorvil be the ring girl, holding up signs. The elf needs major vittles in him before he can get in the ring.
So, perhaps we can get the lowdown on how you get the matches set up, who we fight and so on.
"But you, my dear, still need to fight someone to prove you've the mettle and ability." the ringmaster says to Sorval.
Alright, then... Sorval nods I'd like to prove myself against the archer. She turns to face Zeltor If that would be okay with you...Master...?.
"Of course" - Zeltor nods, as he draws his bow.
Move: 10 ft toward the opponent
Gotta get rid of the bow.
Standard: disarm {provokes AoO}
Well that was Sloppy
Confused as to why the bovine-man is following her other than he lacks any ill intent, she offers him a bush clipping rather than her shearpoint. It's a juniper sprig, and it smells quite nice.
Marduzi chuckles, taking a step back from the fight. "I am much better at managing, really." He stretches and grins. "Lover, not a fighter. All that jazz."
"Have you any other skills of note?" Stockhour asks quickly, knowing that Marduzi also provided a weaker show.
"Are you a magiker, too?"
Aww come on Marduzi, gotta take yer lumps.
Zeltor feels embarassed at his reaction - even though his foot shoots up with lightning rapidity, it is nowhere close to connecting with the lithe feline she-creature.
With an acrobatic movement, he places another gap between himself and his opponent , and fires his bow.
Kaede smiles inside her wraps, the unease from the confusion lifting. She says something unintelligible and nods before moving to a different bush and cutting off one of the late purple blossoms, which she proffers as well.
"I am, though more blessed by the heavens than by the arcane. I'm quite persuasive, really and have a fair knowledge of setting bones and of mystical knowledge."
At that point, there is a russle in the grass and the sound of a giggling child's whisper and a scolding female's voice following after it. Marduzi seems not to notice the noise.
"If that means you are a healer, I have a way for you to make money without ever entering the ring, and I think you know what it is."
It is her armor that saves Sorval from the hit... just barely. I need to get in close- stop him from using that bow She starts off again...charging this time.
Move:30'
Standard-Unarmed{AoO}
So we have our Main Fighter,Manager,Medic,Ring Announcer all set. :)
As Sorval comes close, Zeltor responds with a roundhouse kick.
Again the attack is totally inneficient - Discipline and focus Zeltor... - he ponders to himself coldly.
Methodically, he maintains the same strategy, trying to tumble away from his opponent, and firing an arrow once distance is gained.
This arrow manages to hit Sorval; and she grunts with it- letting the anger go and focuses on a spell instead.
EDIT:
Standard: Flare {Fort DC 12} Sorval sends a burst of light toward Zeltor's face; attempting to blind him.
Kaede laughs outright and tussles whatever hair she can reach on Ruul playfully before clearing her throat and pointing to the flowerbush.
"Andanakku," she announces, putting her fingers around the base of a bloom. A moment later, she taps the one on Ruul's head.
"Andanakku."
These flowers are commonly known as "peaceblooms". They smell nice and can be used to brew a tea that relieves fatigue for a time.
She turns her head sideways and blinks.
"Andanakku da reja vaenutsueba?
She screws up her face in effort.
"Ruu-ru,"
She nods again, mimicking the gesture of pointing at Ruul.
"Ruu-du." She is honestly trying to repeat perfectly. The vowel sound at the end is negligible... the l just isn't coming naturally, though.
