Vs. Battle #3 SpriteMeister vs. SleepingOrange

[SpriteMeister]

Xylina conjures adhesive over her head and then ducks under the chains. After running away from them again, she conjures more until they get completely entangled in both it and eachother. Once she's done, she starts summoning snow all over the arena.

((Well, it seems like there's one last post for each of us. We'd better make them good ones.)

[SleepingOrange]

While avoiding the chainmen, there's only one way she can go. As she gets closer to the wall, a figure launches itself out of the wall. Without enough time to react, the figure bears her to the ground. She recognizes Captain Bibliography, and can tell he's wearing armor under his robe; he's too heavy to struggle against, and he's pressing his left forearm against her throat. His right arm pull back, and a dagger flashes in the light reflected from the snow. He stabs her twice, once in each eye.

(Actually, King, what with off-topic posts, <i>now</i> you each have one post left.)

[SpriteMeister]

(Wait. With twenty posts, how can Orange get both the first strike and the last? Please recount them, Silfedec; this should be the last post.)

With one hand at her throat, and the other wielding the knife, nothing is restraining Xylina's arms. She quickly summons a metal mask for her eyes and a dagger for each hand, which she plunges into CB's neck from either side, and then tries to cast him off of her.

I think you're counting the first post as a post; when the topic is started, it say '0 replies'.

Well, that's it, I guess. I guess I should mention that plate mail generally encompasses pauldrons and a neck guard, but that's beside the point. On the one hand I may have been fatally stabbed (depending on where she stabbed and whether we're taking the armor into account), but Xylina is under a possibly dead guy that's much larger than her and wearing armor, and her ally's dead. Guess it's up to Silf.

I'll accept the neck-stabbity bit, but she's still stuck under him. Any final notes?

[SpriteMeister]

She could conjure a large magnet next to her (she doesn't have any metal on her besides the daggers and mask, which she can easily unconjure beforehand), which would be quite effective at getting an armored man away.

Sound reasonable enough?

[Silfedac]

Well, I just read up on it, and full steel plate, if well made, could weigh no more than 45 pounds, and since it's a mage, who don't normally have a very high body mass, I'll allow the shoving.

[SpriteMeister]

Then declare the winner so we can close this topic and start the next battle. It may be obvious who the victor is this time, but it's still a good habit to get into so we can prevent possible confusion later.

[Silfedac]

Considering the entire fight, I conclude that Orange has caused the most physical and psychological damage to the opposing player, and is thus declared the winner.

Figures...
Well played, Orange. *holds out hand for sportsman-like handshaking action*
