[Tournament R3] - Fiadh vs Rayfe Drathmire (D4 EA)

[Mindshred]

The battle between Fiadh and Rayfe Drathmire begins!

The monsters begin the battle 30 ft. from their Wranglers, and 20 ft. from each other.

Monsters gain 2 Rage at the start of each of their turns. Please post your monster's current Health and Rage, as well as distance from the opponent and current status effects, in each of your posts.

You may concede on your turn, and if you have the Overprotective Flaw, you must make your roll to avoid conceding when your monster becomes Bloodied (half health) and when it takes damage while Bloodied. If you have Overconfident, you must pass your roll to concede.

If your monster is damaged past 0 Health, the opponent makes an Injury Roll to see if your monster becomes Injured.

[Fiadh]

The ever-emotionless Fiadh stood in her box, staring ahead as Riki took his position. The fiery Dragon seemed in as good a mood as it always did. A small growl escaped from the dragon, which was answered in turn by Fiadh.

[Rayfe Drathmire]

Rayfe steps up to the wrangler starting position. His electric blue eyes narrow on the fearsome monster waiting for them in the arena. He gives a firm nod of acknowledgement to Fiadh, but the two unreadable wranglers exchange no words.

He gives Nyx a gentle pat on her side. The Magnox snorts happily and rubs her snout against his arm before galloping out onto the battlefield. She lowers her head, horn pointed toward the imposing Riki. She looks serious today, aware that the fiery threat before her is not here to play. The Magnox strikes her left hoof against the ground, ready to start.

[Rayfe Delays until Nyx's turn]

[Fiadh]

Riki, much like always, didn't really vary up opening tatics. Within a moment the giant flaming Dragon had charged at Nyx, however it appears the tactics were not on point as Nyx managed to avoid being skewered by the sharp horns.

Fiadh growled a command, and the Dragon began to pressure the smaller Magnox

(ooc: Fiadh delays until after Riki's turn

[Rayfe Drathmire]

Nyx holds her ground as Riki charges, using her smaller size to her advantage and nimbly ducking out of range of Riki's horns. However, the large monster still wraps around her with a quick command from Fiadh.

[Nyx chooses not to do a free recovery roll for Pinned 1]

It's strange to be on the receiving end of a pointy hug. In response to the close contact with Riki, Nyx's fur immediately starts to flash and flicker with electrical sparks that shoot up Riki's body.

Riki hissed angrily at the electricity, and began to heat up the area. It seemed to not be having its effect though

[Rayfe Drathmire]

Nyx snorts loudly from her nostrils, expelling the hot air from her lungs. She's been on fire before. This is fine.

The Magnox tosses her head violently in Riki's grip, spearing her horn through Riki's tough scales. Electricity surges up her horn and more sparks flash across the Maguana's long body.

Want ice cream. Must win.

She nimbly rears back her head and jabs Riki again by the shoulder. More lightning ripples up Nyx's horn.

[Fiadh]

Riki roared angrily at the nerve of this far smaller creature daring to hurt him! He took a deep breath and coated the Nyx in burning hot magma, before Spearing her hard with her horns. It hurt both monsters, but Nyx got the worst of it for sure

[Rayfe Drathmire]

This fear was new to her, but Nyx was determined, shaking off some of the terror that made her heart race. It was still scary.

Fight. She jabs her horn into the Maguana again. No damage, but... it strengthens her spirit. The fear subsides.

Want snuggles more than ice cream...

Her horn begins to glow with an intense, mysterious light. But she's never used this before, and the magic fizzles out.

[Fiadh]

Again the lightning makes Riki roar out loudly, as it squeezes back, however the heat from the giant flaming dragon was finally too much for the brave Nyx, who had given Riki a run for his money as the Magnox passed out.

(start of Riki's turn 1 fire damage puts Nyx to 0 health)

[Rayfe Drathmire]

Everything starts to go dark.

What's going on? Scared.

There was so much fire. Everything ached and burned. The small Magnox couldn't even cry out, she was engulfed in so much flame.

Where are you? Where are you?

Only dark scales. Raging flame. Snapping teeth. Deadly claws.

Her vision left. She falls limp in Riki's grasp.

Good? Fight good? Fight...

"Tch..." Rayfe grimaced at the sight. He turned his head away. It was all over. But his feet remain still. He remembers the words of the woman he met the night before.

"You care."

"Please." He mutters, before his voice suddenly roars across the arena. "Please, stop!"

[Fiadh]

As the Magnox finally stopped moving in his grip, Riki roared out in either anger or celebration. Or both as far as anyone but Fiadh and those who could speak beast could tell. The giant flaming Dragon looked down at his victim and opened its mouth...

Fiadh heard the shout, and began making a growling sound at Riki. Riki stopped, looking almost annoyed at Fiadh and unwilling to let go of its prize. The girl stomped out of her box, continuing to make growling and other animal sounds at Riki as the Dragon argued back.

[Virgil Conway]

The medical team hurries into the arena, dousing sprays at the ready to hose down the little Magnox.

[Rayfe Drathmire]

"It's over!" Rayfe snarls sharply, more at Riki than anyone else. He steps into the arena, hands clenches into tight fists. The fierce gleam in his eyes says I will wrestle this dragon if I have to.

[Fiadh]

Riki snarled angrily as he was surrounded on different sides.

"Move back!" Fiadh shouted, making a shooing motion at the medical team and then Rayfe. She then turned to Riki and started growling instructions, the Dragon growing his disagreement before finally relenting and dropping the Magnox on the ground and moving away.

"Now" she said to the medical team, before turning to check on Nyx herself.
