« ROUND 4 »
3 fighters, 1 fight
-- You can change your costume, or wear the same one from before, but the costume will be whole and new either way, even if it got torn in the last round.
-- You have 120 hours (5 days) to start the first post for round 4. This essentially gives you a 48 hour window to relax between the last round and this one, if you so choose. After the first post it will return to the normal 72 hour time requirement between posts.
-- Attack in your first post, assume your opponent is in motion (pegasus are assumed grounded unless they have stated being in the air). Get creative with the reason why your characters are in these strange settings! The easiest reason may be that your character is aware of the tournament (remember this is an OOC tournament!), but you could also go with the character has simple curiosity and the doors slammed shut and locked behind you.
-- There is no set post order, but all characters must have an opportunity to post once in the rotation before the next set of posts begins. i.e. Character A does not always have to post after Character B, But Characters A, B and C must all post once before any can post again.
WEATHER: A Frostfall midnight (12:00 am). There's a full moon but dense fog that drifts over the moon, at times obscuring its light. The air is cold, your breath visible when you exhale. A light snow from a previous storm remains, scattered in thin, small piles.
1.
Arlo vs. Deimo
s vs. Gaucho
You've found yourselves in an old graveyard full of headstones all throughout, ranging from simple markers to beautifully crafted, statues larger than you. There are some slight slopes as hills run through here, but nothing major. Most of the graves seem to be on the hill tops though and there the tombstones are thickest, where as closer to bottoms of the hills they're very spread out. You're encased within a wrought-iron fence, though it's large enough you can't see end to end. There's something else int he graveyard with you though. With the midnight hour upon the land, zombies have begun to crawl from their graves and shamble about.
At least once each post a zombie attempts to rise from the ground or grab you (either being an already risen one or a hand jutting out from the earth). At least once a zombie is successful in holding you, detaining you for 30 seconds.
In this round a critical miss will cause a zombie to bite you, horrendously infecting whatever area they bit and causing that region to be useless the rest of the fight.
In this round a critical hit will allow to be zombie free for the next post, meaning none manage to stand in your way or are near enough to try and grab you.
« ROUND 3 »
6 fighters, 3 fights
-- You can change your costume, or wear the same one from before, but the costume will be whole and new either way, even if it got torn in the last round.
-- Because this fight will give us an uneven number of winners again, the highest scoring winners will continue to the next round. In the event that only 1 or none are judged, a die will be rolled to determine among the non-judged winners, who will proceed. The reason we will not roll from the completed non-winners as before is because 3 winners is so close to 2, it's better to cut out an extra round and make round 4 the final.
-- You have 120 hours (5 days) to start the first post for round 3. This essentially gives you a 48 hour window to relax between the last round and this one, if you so choose. After the first post it will return to the normal 72 hour time requirement between posts.

WEATHER: An Orangemoon Dawn (6:00 am). A cool and crisp morning with dew on the ground and a noncontinuous, light rainstorm.
SETTINGS: Outdoors with an NPC figure attacking each fighter at least twice in the entire fight. The NPC is constantly present and cannot be attacked/killed (it will simply dodge away).
1. Confutatis vs. Arlo
You're in a dense jungle where a lot of foliage covers the ground and vines aplenty await to tangle you up. You've managed to find somewhat of a clearing, where you square up for your fight, but it seems to be home to someone else as well. Jaguar prowl through the brush and try to grab at you, defending their territory and likely, trying to fill their stomachs.
A jaguar manages to strike each fighter twice in the fight, which causes a painful and bleeding wound.
2. Delinne vs. Gaucho
You're in a marsh where scraggly trees have grown dense and the bank and the water seem to merge into one entity causing water to rest just at your ankles and the ground to be muddy and full of aquatic weeds just ready to wrap you up. You've found a patch that has some dry regions and more thinned out trees, but it's a popular resting spot for the crocodiles of this place. They are irritated by your intrusion, but more so, they're hungry.
A crocodile manages to bite each fighter twice in the fight, which causes a painful and bleeding wound.
3. Deimos vs. Archibald
You're in a thick pine forest where the trees tower above you and many creatures lurk. The trees are mostly all close together, but you've found a small clearing where you square up for battle. Yet it seems to be the nesting site of large spiders, which have strung their webs through plenty of the surrounding trees, awaiting to ensnare prey such as yourself. They're equal to you in size, but with greater speed and piercing mandibles.

« ROUND 2 »
12 fighters, 6 fights
-- You can change your costume, or wear the same one from before, but the costume will be whole and new either way, even if it got torn in the last round.
-- Because this fight will give us an uneven number of winners again, those who finish their fights and have them judged, but lose, will be entered in the die roll for determining who among them may proceed to round 3. This is to reward those who took the time to fully complete their fight, on time, to have a second opportunity while our numbers remain odd. The round 2 fight gives us an even number of victors (6), I was just tired/crazy apparently xP
-- You have 120 hours (5 days) to start the first post for round 2. This essentially gives you a 48 hour window to relax between the last round and this one, if you so choose. After the first post it will return to the normal 72 hour time requirement between posts.
-- Attack in your first post, assume your opponent is in motion (pegasus are assumed grounded unless they have stated being in the air). Get creative with the reason why your characters are in these strange settings! The easiest reason may be that your character is aware of the tournament (remember this is an OOC tournament!), but you could also go with the character has simple curiosity and the doors slammed shut and locked behind you.
WEATHER: A Tallsun dusk (7:30 pm), staying warm, but with a cooler feel as the shade grows longer and a slight breeze stirs.
SETTINGS: Indoors (230 ft x 200 ft, about 1/2 football field) with an NPC figure attacking each fighter at least once in the entire fight. The NPC is constantly present and cannot be attacked/killed (it will simply dodge away).
1. Deimos vs. Crowley
You're inside the laboratory of a mad scientist. You're in the most central room that has a central operating table with some bloody utensils still left out and vials filled with colorful liquids. The floor is a cold, hard concrete that doesn't give, but has traction. Fluorescent lights overhead do not fully light the entire room and one corner flickers. There's a counter along one wall with various fetuses in jars - a doorway leads to a walk in freezer at the left end of the counter. A doorway half way along the opposite, bare wall has unearthly noises coming from it and seems to be the holding pen for those unfortunate souls captured.
The mad scientist hears you as you come in. He sneaks around, trying to get a good moment in where he can inject you with an anesthetic and capture you for experimentation.
At least once in the fight the scientist succeeds in injecting each fighter, which causes you to become groggy and slow for 1 minute - he got the dosing wrong/wasn't able to inject it all.
2. Huyana vs. Gaucho
You're inside an abandoned library where a wizard has taken up residence. You're on the first floor in the most central room with a reception desk in the far back wall. On either side large stairs wrap around and lead up to the second floor which is covered in aisles of book shelves. On the first floor the books line just against the walls, though on the left there is a doorway leading to the restrooms and a drinking fountain. Towards the front half of the first floor there is a small set of steps (5) going down that leads to a hat rack and a small standing area by the tall oak doors from which you entered - they will not open now. A chandelier illuminates the room, but many corners remain dark and the air is stale and musty. Most of it is covered in a thin, industrial carpet, over concrete. It is hard and unforgiving, but gives good traction.
The wizard is studying up on the second floor, but hears you enter. Irritated by the distractions you're causing he attempts to fire spells at you in-between trying to ignore you and continue reading.
At least once in the fight the wizard's spell hits you, which causes:
- Unicorn: your horn turns into a snake and slithers off, it grows back in 1 minute with mild discomfort.
- Pegasus: your wings turn into crows and fly away, they grow back in 1 minute with mild discomfort.
3. Lace vs. Delinne
You're inside a creaking ship belonging to pirates, getting ready to set sail. You’re on the top deck of the bow, rocking side to side slightly as the waves bob against the dock. The wood flooring is hard, but so full of nails and uneven planks prives good traction - the waves are not tall enough to spill over and create slickness. There’s railings of metal all along the side, including the closed way you entered on-board. Behind you are small (fits 1 horse width) walkways running around either side of the center control of the ship where the captain sits on the second floor looking out and over the bow. The walkways lead to the back of the ship and have stairs on each inside middle section leading to the cargo hold below. If you go down there you probably won’t be able to get back up.
A pirate of the crew notices you. She scurries around, trying to stab you with her cutlass because she wants to skin you and eat you.
At least once in the fight the pirate succeeds in stabbing each fighter, which causes you to get a decent slice about 2 inches deep and 3 inches long that will bleed, but eventually scab over.
4. Levi vs. Confutatis
You're inside a pyramid where an ancient pharaoh was buried. You’re in the lower levels where the tomb resides, resting near the back wall of the otherwise large and central room full of gold, trinkets, sand, and food stacked up against the walls. It’s lit with an intricate system of mirrors that guides the light of the setting sun inside, but some corners remain dark. The air is stale and without a breeze. Behind you is an archway leading to stairs that go back to the upper levels, which are mainly smaller passageways for walking around the pyramid. To the left of you in the center part of the wall is a small path leading to more treasure piled up so it nearly fills the chamber.
The mummy is awakened by your presence and rises from his tomb. He stumbles around in his undead rage, unraveling a bit as he does which causes beetles, maggots and scorpions to fall out of his withered, embalmed body.
At least once in the fight the mummy succeeds in flinging a scorpion at or near each fighter, which causes you to get a painful sting that will burn so bad you can’t focus for 1 minute.
5. Oxy vs. Arlo
You're inside a
pokemon tournament ring where a cruel pokemon trainer was practicing. The stadium is covered with a large roof and the ring is surrounded by tall walls with stands for audience members to sit, though it’s empty. You’re on a hard dirt surface that is unforgiving, but good for traction. In the very center chalked on lines draw out a pokeball shape where the pocket monsters would normally fight. There are tall and wide, closed doors on either end where competitors enter from. Fluorescent lights overhead do not fully light the entire stadium and one corner flickers. There is the smallest breeze coming through ventilation near the roof.
The cruel pokemon trainer is furious for your disruption and sends out his three starter pokemon to attack you. The pokemon scurry around looking for an opportunity to strike without being trampled. Being young and inexperienced they often miss and sometimes squabble with each other..
At least once in the fight a pokemon succeeds in hitting each fighter, which causes you to sustain an injury depending on the pokemon type that has pain and causes a distraction for 1 minute.
- Chespin: vine whip
- Fennekin: ember
- Froakie: bubble
6. d'Artagnan vs. Archibald
You're inside a haunted barn where the ghosts of the farmer and his livestock remain. You’re in the most central part of the barn which has a large set of wooden doors behind you - they’re closed and locked. Some old moldy hay and other rat-eaten feed rests against the very back wall. On either side of you are some stalls with a small tie across their middle where horses or cattle might have stood. In the very middle or the right wall is a narrow (1 horse) hallway that leads into a smaller section of the barn where pens for the sheep and goats stand, as well as a hen house. Various tools rest along the walls like pitchforks, rakes, hoes and even a plow. The floor is a hard dirt that doesn't give, but has traction. Lanterns around the barn light your way, but do not fully chase away all the shadows in the corners and 1 seems close to dying. A slight breeze comes in through the ventilation by the roof.
The ghosts are disturbed by your presence and seek to chase you out. They may knock over some of the tools and open or slam the doors of pens, but mostly they try to get close to you and scare you off. They are unable to physically harm you, but instead pass through you.
At least once in the fight a ghost passes through each fighter, which causes you to become incredibly cold and makes it very hard to move or breath for 1 minute.
