So, around two in-game years ago when Vash was a wee little sub-40th Barbarian I decided to enter a tourney in Theren. My first (and last) opponent for the night was... Craxor. Yeah, no chance at all, I managed to stand for something like three hits. Oh well, you win some you lose some, right?

Well, recently I saw him while looking for something to do in Crossing and decided to have a rematch just for the sake of having a rematch. We head out of town and...

You sling a cavalryman's slurbow with a pearl-inlaid teak stock off from over your shoulder.

With a violent cross-body motion, Craxor draws his bastard sword.

You push out your chest as you feel your eyes taking on a new and distant focus. The majesty of an Eagle on the wing suffuses your body with clarity.

Craxor grows suddenly quiet, his eyes dangerously calm as his limbs shiver like anxious leaves before summer's fearsome storm. A terrible roar of fury and bloodlust escapes his throat like the first crash of thunder, his body exploding into a berserker rage as his eyes retain an unsettling and deadly calm.

You move into a position to dodge.

Craxor steps up to you and says, "I challenge you to The Pain in a contest of skill!"

You turn to face Craxor.
You begin to target Craxor.

You accept Craxor's challenge.

You think you have your best shot possible now.

< You fire a frog-crotch bolt at Craxor. Craxor blocks with a crocodile-skin buckler.
The frog-crotch bolt lands nearby!
[You're winded, solidly balanced and opponent has slight advantage.]
[Roundtime 1 sec.]

Fully aimed, dancing eagle, miss? I'm suddenly less confident in my ability to beat this guy, but thinking quickly...

You get a log from inside your leucro hide pack.

< You throw a log at Craxor. Craxor partially blocks with a crocodile-skin buckler. The log lands a solid hit that glances the log across the forehead, lightly stunning him.
The log falls to the ground!
[You're solidly balanced and in dominating position.]

Heavy Crossbow: 414 73.21% clear
Heavy Thrown: 414 98.50% clear

Yes, it's the Log of Doom. I love that log.

Another two log throws and a fully aimed shot from the repeater all miss, so finally I decide to go melee with him. He wails at me and lands a good hit, I wail at him and:

(lots of hits edited out to reduce length)

< You step backward and then slice at Craxor. Craxor partially blocks with a crocodile-skin buckler. The sword lands an awesome strike that explodes the heart and lungs with a bone-shattering blow to the chest.
[You're bruised, nimbly balanced and overwhelming opponent.]
[Roundtime 2 sec.]

It's not much of a goal, but it's something at least.

Cylons... why debugging matters.

That mean that Vinjince is the highest circle Prydean Barb?

Vinjince is King Kitty Cat.

It's kind of like being the best offensive lineman on the Detroit Lions. Everyone still laughs at you.

<<It's kind of like being the best offensive lineman on the Detroit Lions. Everyone still laughs at you.>>

Don't worry Vin, there'll always be people like me that still had season tickets to said Lions for 8 years.

>>Jesus, how much of your soul has died over the last 8 years?

Soul? I think you must be confusing him with some other GM.

<<I do hope to be the strongest Prydaen Barb one day... so back off, Vashir. :P>>

You've got nothing to worry about... yet.

No really, I'm stuck backtraining and doing fest/event/RP stuff. No circling for me, probably until I find my way to kresh.

I'm shooting for third Fridays of the month, as Pit Season is officially started now. Usually I run seasons from Oct-Feb or March, as interest ususally seems to dwindle.

I've been pondering some team points style nights for this season. Still a bit of plotting to figure all the stuff out (i.e. assigned teams or preassigned/player chosen; way(s) to keep track of team points), but I hope to have a team night after the first of the year, if all goes well.

We can get all manner of folks. Just kinda depends on who all decides to wander in. My suggestion, come on down. If we can't find someone for you to fight, I can always use someone to help with holding prizes when folks want to hand me my butt in the pit.

2 full seasons and one fight night of this new season and no wins. I really need to do something to up my game. :(
