(21:08:24) DUEL RoryLaurent entered the room.
(21:08:28) Karen J Wilder: ( Everywhere. )
(21:09:13) Daimyo Joku: ((They are going to make you duel one here, then go to the other room for the next round, then the third round come back here...LOL))
(21:09:31) Sylus Kurgen: (( ::Blinkblinkblink:: ))
(21:09:33) Bobothhobo: ((Finals are in the outback. ::nod:: ))
(21:09:54) Cheyenne Fordyce: ((No way?))
(21:09:55) Karen J Wilder: ::She walked over to what had become "her" chair, the place where Dalamar had always sat, and took her place there.::
(21:10:02) Daimyo Joku: ((Is that the Free For All where everyone duels everyone at the same time?))
(21:10:16) Karen J Wilder: ( Don't listen to him... he's old and crotchety. :p )
(21:10:18) Daimyo Joku: ::sees the Overlady here, gives her a respectful bow::
(21:10:29) Bobothhobo: ((I dunno. Maybe we should let the person in charge of this thing explain.))
(21:10:29) Karen J Wilder: ::A nod offered to Joku.::
(21:11:43) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she comes in the door, her head shaking::
(21:11:56) Daimyo Joku: ::takes a few gulps off the Red Orc stout, as he settles himself at a table near the rings::

(21:12:34) LotharBlacklance: ::sips at his beer, kicking back in a corner::
(21:12:43) Rhiannon D Brock: I'm sure if it's not, they will let us know. ::a light squeeze to Joker's hand::
(21:12:47) InsertProfoundSN: When is this going to get underway?
(21:13:07) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::draws on that beer sommore, still in a half daze, wondering where that Nice Lady on the Couch is, she is the one that invited her and she saw her nowhere and frowned a bit::
(21:13:14) DUEL RoryLaurent: ((Please IM me with any last minute entries. We're short a computer so I'm short a caller. It's going to take me a minute to get everything up and running because it's on the downed computer.))
(21:13:16) Richard D Harker: ::gently squeezes Rhi's hand::
(21:13:42) Sarah The Stick left the room.
(21:13:46) InsertProfoundSN: ((I can call, if you don't mind me calling and dueling simultaneously)
(21:13:51) InsertProfoundSN: ((or Stick can call))
(21:13:54) InsertProfoundSN: ((:-p))
(21:13:54) DUEL Stick entered the room.
(21:14:03) Sylus Kurgen: ((I can as well..))
(21:14:19) Karen J Wilder: ( Looks like Stick is, since she's a WL and can't duel in it anyway. :D )
(21:15:22) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she leans to Joker::
(21:15:33) Richard D Harker: ::lean to Rhi::
(21:15:52) Daimyo Joku: ::leans against the back of his chair, not as comfy as a girl, but fgunctional::
(21:16:14) Richard D Harker: Damn bloody right. ::shakes his head:: And right annoying at that.
(21:16:32) DUEL RoryLaurent left the room.
(21:17:23) InsertProfoundSN: ::yawn::
(21:17:24) DUEL RoryLaurent entered the room.
(21:17:58) Sylus Kurgen: ::The shadow floated towards the bar::
(21:18:02) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she gently pokes Joker and chuckles:: And I keep telling you you need some fat on those bones.
(21:18:33) Richard D Harker: And when I tried to put some on, I got the four way lecture, didn't I?
(21:18:51) DUEL RoryLaurent: ::with her hands shoved into her pockets, she moves on in, the strap of a bag slung over her shoulder:: Any last entries?
(21:18:51) Richard D Harker: Deserved, but still. ::chuckles::
(21:18:56) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she rolls her eyes:: Protein...
(21:18:58) Karen J Wilder: ::She downs the shot of scotch and leans back in her chair, putting her feet up on another chair.::
(21:19:01) Richard D Harker: ::waves his hand to Rory::
(21:19:12) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::pale blue eyes spotted the shadow:: Thank you Sylus. ::the words almost choked out, as it was few and far between that Chey ever thanked anyone::
(21:19:29) LotharBlacklance: Who do you have in so far?
(21:19:29) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::waves to the Nice Lady on the Couch from last night::
(21:19:37) InsertProfoundSN: ::ah... so she's the Overlady::
(21:19:50) Maxim128: (bah, afk)
(21:19:50) Richard D Harker: Oh, I could get that, too, but you're too sweet to nibble on. ::browwiggle at Rhi::
(21:20:05) Sylus Kurgen: ::Nods and in a gravely voice:: It was nothing
(21:20:34) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she waves to Karen::
(21:20:34) InsertProfoundSN: ::wonders exactly what strength her "Church" has over creatures of the unliving::
(21:20:34) Karen J Wilder: ::Not exactly presenting herself with the 'decorum' and 'dignity' of the office... but then, she never let a title get in the way of who she was.::
(21:20:35) DUEL RoryLaurent: ::plops down on the couch:: Alright then. Time to go.
(21:20:49) Karen J Wilder: ::Waving back to Rhi.:: G'luck lass.
(21:20:57) Daimyo Joku: ::sips off the stout again as he turns attention to Rory::
(21:21:33) Sylus Kurgen: ::Watches Rory::
(21:21:43) DUEL RoryLaurent: Alright then. Tony is the first entry I got who has showed and there's eleven people in the tournament so he gets the bye.
(21:21:45) Rhiannon D Brock: Thanks! ::a warm smile to Karen and she looks to Joker:: (s) I'll introduce you later. Karen is an old friend of my family.
(21:21:53) DUEL Stick: ::Fluffs out the hair near her neck, scratching, as she walks out of the locker room, caller nametag bouncing against her midsection from the long string around her neck.::
(21:22:05) Richard D Harker: ::wave to the woman Rhi's waving to::
(21:22:25) AenlynHollow left the room.

(21:22:29) Richard D Harker: Right. Duel first?
(21:22:44) AenlynHollow entered the room.
(21:22:51) Rhiannon D Brock: Yes, and hopefully win.
(21:22:51) DUEL RoryLaurent: For those who don't remember, this is a single elimination tournament. The prize is a dagger that the former Overlord Siera Redwin gave out in a similar tournament amongst her men and the title Talon of Redwin for the cycle.
(21:22:54) DUEL Stick: ::Settles carefully onto the couch, glancing from face to face, expressionless.::
(21:22:56) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she nods a few times::
(21:23:09) DUEL RoryLaurent: ((The prize also includes one extra fancy. You're allowed to use the fancies that you have listed on the current standings.))
(21:23:16) InsertProfoundSN: ((actually, joku entered first O:-)))
(21:23:29) AenlynHollow: ::comes in in a rush::
(21:23:30) Richard D Harker: ::nods:: Or at least beat the Lizard.

(21:23:44) Daimyo Joku: ((No I didn't, I was like 3rd or 4th I think))
(21:23:47) Vincent VM Smith: ::pulls out a toothpick, giving his teeth something to do::
(21:23:53) Rhiannon D Brock: :a playful swat to Joker:: Behave..
(21:23:57) DUEL RoryLaurent: Thanks. ::a quick smile to Stick, handing over a couple names to her::
(21:24:19) DUEL RoryLaurent: I've got Rhiannon versus Vanion in Right and Cheyenne versus Lothar in Left.
(21:24:29) Richard D Harker: I am, I am. ::playful pinch back::
(21:24:51) InsertProfoundSN: Let's do this.
(21:24:55) InsertProfoundSN: ::poofs into the ring::
(21:24:59) Rhiannon D Brock: ::a quick kiss to Joker's cheek and a jump at the pinch before she heads for Ring Right::
(21:25:03) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::and off she went into the ring with the Nice Lady from the Couch and there were no signs of any weapons once again as she still wondered just how she had gotten talked into this::
(21:25:22) LotharBlacklance: ::moves to the ring::
(21:25:23) Richard D Harker: ::warm smile, waits on the sidelines for his turn at the duel::
(21:25:24) InsertProfoundSN: ::the Key around his neck hums with power, and Vanion closes his fist around an energy blade::
(21:25:33) Daimyo Joku: ::turns to Stick wondering who he is paired with::
(21:25:54) DUEL Stick: ::Just a slight nod before taking her list and reading off a number of names.:: Um... Bobo and Aenlyn, Ring.. I don't know, what the hell do you call rings here?
(21:25:58) Daimyo Joku: ((Seems like I have a little lag here intermenint, so if I am slow, forgive me))
(21:26:01) Footballizcool: ::a small golem walks in::
(21:26:20) DUEL RoryLaurent: Whatever you want to. ::to Stick::
(21:26:34) DUEL Stick: Fine, Ring One, I'm not going to mess around tonight.
(21:26:38) Sylus Kurgen: :;Waits patiently::
(21:26:45) LotharBlacklance: ::draws sword and salutes Cheyenne:: duel well
(21:26:48) AenlynHollow: ::draws the practice blade she just stole from the Annex and goes to the ring, waiting::
(21:26:48) DUEL Stick: Joku and Joker, Ring Two... Sylus and Vince, Ring Three.
(21:26:49) InsertProfoundSN: Alright, woman.
(21:26:57) Rhiannon D Brock: ::after stepping into the ring, she draws her blade and sweeps her blade upward in salute to Rory and Vanion::
(21:26:58) Sylus Kurgen: ::Groans::
(21:27:02) InsertProfoundSN: Fight as well as your rank indicates.
(21:27:04) DUEL Stick: So, there, there, and there. ::Points from ring to ring three times.::
(21:27:12) Bobothhobo: ::ambles into the ring, brings his shopping cart::
(21:27:20) Sylus Kurgen: ::heads into ring Two::
(21:27:20) Rhiannon D Brock: And your rank is?
(21:27:30) Sylus Kurgen: :;er Three::
(21:27:46) DUEL Stick: What the ^@#$ is that? ::Angling that pointed finger at Bobo's shopping cart.::
(21:27:48) Qzarian3 left the room.
(21:27:48) Rhiannon D Brock: ::a raise of a brow at the interesting comment::
(21:27:55) InsertProfoundSN: Swordsman, this week.
(21:28:00) Bobothhobo: Muh cart fulla muh weapons.
(21:28:01) Sylus Kurgen: ::The shadow drifted through the ropes of ring Three::
(21:28:07) Richard D Harker: Right. ::steps into ring Two, unsheaths Lionheart and salutes first Stick then his opponent::
(21:28:07) InsertProfoundSN: ::obviously, sarcasm was beyond her::
(21:28:10) Bobothhobo: An' muh weapon at some pahts.
(21:28:12) AenlynHollow: ::raises an eyebrow, but doesn't say anything::
(21:28:12) DUEL RoryLaurent: Left, Round 1. Cheyenne swings in low but Lothar takes the first point with a shot down the middle.
(21:28:18) DUEL RoryLaurent: (th/lc) 1-0, Lothar.
(21:28:27) InsertProfoundSN: ::levels the sword before him, ready to duel::
(21:28:37) DUEL Stick: Hey, I thought you only get to use one weapon. ::Looking to Rory for an answer.::
(21:28:40) TonyGraziano13: ((sorry, I'm back now. Was I called to a ring?))
(21:28:46) Karen J Wilder: ::Chuckles, remembering fighting that fellow.::
(21:28:52) Daimyo Joku: ::assumes Richard, is the "Joker", a nickname of his own on his TDL team, he kind of smirks at the irony as he enters the ring::
(21:28:55) Footballizcool: ::the golem dissappears and Dimitri is standing where the golem was::
(21:28:55) Sylus Kurgen: ((you got the bye))
(21:28:55) LotharBlacklance: ::steps in with a thrust over the cut::
(21:29:00) Karen J Wilder: Nae Stick... anythin' at hand.
(21:29:01) InsertProfoundSN: ((you, luckily, got a bye :-p))
(21:29:15) Footballizcool left the room.
(21:29:15) Footballizcool left the room.
(21:29:15) AenlynHollow: doesn't matter to me. he's only got two hands
(21:29:16) DUEL RoryLaurent: Right, Round 1. The first round isn't boding well for the ladies.
(21:29:19) DUEL RoryLaurent: (th/lc) 1-0, Vanion.
(21:29:24) Rhiannon D Brock: ::sarcasm wasn't lost on her, she just chuckles::
(21:29:31) Daimyo Joku: ::bows respectively to both Richard and Stick as he prepares::
(21:29:40) Footballizcool entered the room.
(21:29:46) Sylus Kurgen: :;Waits on Vince to enter the ring::
(21:29:48) Vincent VM Smith: ::gets up, tossing his jacket aside, revealing a black, tight fitting outfit of jeans and a t-shirt::
(21:29:53) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::and in a blink of an eye Cheyenned held two glinting daggers in her hands as she quickly brought them down in a skilled fashion and felt the impact of the thrust and grunted::
(21:29:56) Footballizcool: ::walks to the bar to watch the duels::
(21:30:07) InsertProfoundSN: ::quickly thrusts, catching her forearm as she cuts low::
(21:30:07) Cheyenne Fordyce: ((Ouch, bad lag here too, take it back whoever gave it out!))
(21:30:08) Rhiannon D Brock: (( HC))
(21:30:23) Vincent VM Smith: ::gives a quick bow, looking a little intense tonight::
(21:30:24) Richard D Harker: ::slow breaths, focuses on his opponent::
(21:30:35) DUEL Stick: Fine, whatever. He'd better hope I don't fight him, I'll kick his little cart onto his head.

(21:30:57) Bobothhobo: Yuh cun try.
(21:31:23) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she sweeps up but it's over his lunge::
(21:31:46) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 1- Aenlyn gets around the cart and smacks Bobo in the leg, and.. I'm not asking what Bobo just hit her with. (High Cut/Low Cut) 1-1.
(21:32:17) Bobothhobo: ::hits Aenlyn with a dirty sock::

(21:32:26) AenlynHollow: ::tries ot strike before he can get any weapons, but finds him... resourceful?::
(21:32:32) DUEL RoryLaurent: Right, Round 2. Rhiannon repays the favor with a bunch of the same.
(21:32:37) DUEL Stick: Speaking of do something... ::Eyes Sylus impatiently.::
(21:32:45) LotharBlacklance: ::keeps his movements simple, sword leveled at her::
(21:32:46) DUEL Farek left the room.
(21:32:58) DUEL RoryLaurent: (th/lc) 1 all.
(21:33:03) Richard D Harker: ::slow breath, parries against his opponent's parry::
(21:33:10) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::blinks at the cussing, a sly grin:: Hmm, wonder if that's that Stick chick they were comparing me to last night. ::offhandly as she twirled the daggers to lay against her forearms, the tips pointing towards her body::
(21:33:15) Daimyo Joku: ::seems him and his opponent just stall to start as they circle each other::
(21:33:16) DUEL Farek entered the room.
(21:33:27) DUEL Farek: .
(21:33:30) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she drops and lunges out, but this it's over his cut::
(21:33:35) DUEL Stick: Ring Three, Round 1- Do something, but do it smarter than that. (Circular Parry/High Cut) 1-0 Vince.
(21:33:36) Rhiannon D Brock: ::this time::
(21:33:57) DUEL RoryLaurent: Left, Round 2. Cheyenne also puts herself on the board by dropping beneath Lothar's defense.
(21:34:14) DUEL RoryLaurent: (du/lp) 1-0.5, Lothar.
(21:34:15) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 2- Hobos obviously aren't in good enough shape to get up quickly after they get knocked down, and Aenlyn takes advantage of it. (Fancy Duck/Thrust) 2-1 Aenlyn.
(21:34:28) Sylus Kurgen: :;The shadow swung it's blades low as Vince's attack came high and passed thought the shadow ::
(21:34:33) Vincent VM Smith: ::makes a quick cut at his shoulder, getting over his parry::

(21:34:37) LotharBlacklance: ::moves in a parry with nothing to block::
(21:34:43) DUEL RoryLaurent: Right, Round 3. Rhiannon goes defensive but its Vanion's defense which gets him the upper hand.
(21:34:46) InsertProfoundSN: ::she counters his first attack nicely, so he takes a step back and resets his stance, the light of his energy blade darkening as he does so::
(21:34:53) DUEL RoryLaurent: (flp/du) 1.5-1, Vanion.

(21:35:32) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::crouches low to re-think her not-so-good strategy::
(21:35:43) Daimyo Joku: ((bad lag for me too tonight))
(21:35:50) Footballizcool: ((test))
(21:35:55) Sylus Kurgen: ((pass))
(21:35:56) Bobothhobo: ((test))
(21:35:59) DUEL Stick: Ring Three, Round 2- Vince learns it's a bad idea to give points back after you score them. (Low Cut/Stop Hit) 1-1.
(21:35:59) Richard D Harker: Damnit. ::that strategy didn't work, high cutting into his opponent's thrust, so he prepares for a different strategy::
(21:36:02) Footballizcool: ((no lagg here))
(21:36:04) Daimyo Joku: ::sees an opening to exploit and moves exceptional fast, even for an elf::
(21:36:05) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she feigns fear:: It's a wollif!!
(21:36:22) Karen J Wilder: ::Chuckles, hearing Rhi.::
(21:36:33) Sylus Kurgen: :;The black blades swing low and go through his legs but leaving them as cold as ice::
(21:36:48) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::She stood slowly, pale blue eyes studying the man's body as she began to circle him in the ring::
(21:37:12) Bobothhobo: Um no' hurt muh cart cheese Nashville well?
(21:37:15) DUEL RoryLaurent: Left, Round 3. Cheyenne and Lothar both go on the offensive, thrusting at one another.
(21:37:16) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round Three- I hope Aenlyn's not one of those foofy girls that wants her hair to always smell nice, because it won't if Bobo keeps hitting her in the head with his trash. (High Cut/Circular Parry) 2-2.
(21:37:24) DUEL RoryLaurent: (thx2) 2-1.5, Lothar.
(21:37:24) Qzarian3 entered the room.
(21:37:38) Bobothhobo: ::hits Aenlyn with a fire extinguisher::
(21:37:42) DUEL RoryLaurent: Right, Round 4. Rhiannon swings in high as Vanion counters low. A point to each.
(21:37:45) LotharBlacklance: ::steps in and trades attacks with her::
(21:37:49) DUEL RoryLaurent: (hc/lc) 2.5-2, Vanion.
(21:37:55) Daimyo Joku: ::his dark colored almond shaped eyes remian focused soley on his opponent and any hint of movement to betray his intentions::

(21:38:02) Footballizcool: Come on Rhi.
(21:38:10) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she takes a breath and sweeps high again and trades blood for blood::
(21:38:10) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 3- I'll come in there and show you two how to fight if you don't start doing anything. (Circular Parry/Stop Hit) Still 1-0 Joku.
(21:38:16) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::she swayed to the left a bit and turned in, bringing both daggers in quickly and with a deadly precision as they hissed, slicing into his side and she winced feeling the return blow::
(21:38:18) Farek II: ::Farek slinked in, taking a quick step to the bar where he took a seat::
(21:38:25) InsertProfoundSN: ::gets conked, which forces him first back into mist form, and then back to his elvish form::

(21:38:36) Richard D Harker: ::slow breaths, focuses on his moves::
(21:38:42) Daimyo Joku: ::blinks::

(21:39:11) CletusGanderfaId: ::pushes from the bar, guessing the dwarf has opted not to show tonight since he's already an hour behind::
(21:39:12) DUEL RoryLaurent: Left, Round 4. Cheyenne and Lothar stay aggressive. Both go low but neither can connect.
(21:39:20) DUEL RoryLaurent: (lcx2) Still 2-1.5, Lothar.
(21:39:50) Eros DeBurgo entered the room.
(21:40:05) DUEL RoryLaurent: RIght, Round 5. Rhiannon picks a poor time to lash out.... or Vanion just picks an excellent time to go defensive.
(21:40:10) LotharBlacklance: ::cuts low and ends up getting nowhere when she does the same::
(21:40:11) Vincent VM Smith: ::smirks:: is someone in a bad mood tonight?
(21:40:16) DUEL RoryLaurent: (sl/sh) 3.5-2, Vanion.

(21:40:46) Sylus Kurgen: Just a little :;Came the gravelly voiced respose::
(21:40:46) DUEL Stick: Ring Three, Round 3- Sylus keeps swinging back and forth, and it's going to keep working until Vince learns to put his sword up. (High Cut/Sidestep) 2-1 Sylus.
(21:40:55) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::and she swayed and stepped to the right this time, arcing those daggers in low and coming across his own blade in reply, cussing:: God ::bleep::in dammit.
(21:41:22) InsertProfoundSN: ::grips his blade tightly, and smashes away the attack, then reverses, lunges, and scores a successful thrust::
(21:41:23) Sylus Kurgen: :;Baseball swing as his black blades pass though his opponents head with the same chilling cold::

(21:42:04) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 4- Hitting this raggedy little ^@#$ is like running a maze... through the cart, over the dirty boots, under the flying socks, nothing but Bobo. (Low Cut/Thrust) 3-2 Aenlyn.
(21:42:20) Cheyenne Fordyce: (( ::smacks computer:: Did I die again? ))
(21:42:26) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 4- It's about damn time! (Thrust/Thrust) 2-1 Joku.

(22:15:01) Rhiannon D Brock: He was around the other night. ::a smile to Karen::
(22:15:02) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::pale blue eyes move to the woman and nods, making mental notes to find this Xenograg person and nods more:: The information and lessons I'm sure will be of great use, my thanks Miss.
(22:15:08) Firynth Jessail: ((I see me too so I should be good))
(22:15:08) Sylus Kurgen: ::As the shadow floated through the ropes those black blades formed in his hands:: Luck and honour...::Salutes::
(22:15:34) Eros DeBurgo: ((fists duel available when tourney is over, Sapphire))
(22:16:00) Daimyo Joku: ((Eros, go to the Annex, Fight Night there))
(22:16:00) Karen J Wilder: Sorrae I missed 'im... I's been meanin' tae talk tae 'im.
(22:16:06) Eros DeBurgo: ((I dont think anyone is there :) ))
(22:16:27) Rhiannon D Brock left the room.
(22:16:31) Rhiannon D Brock entered the room.
(22:16:39) Eros DeBurgo: ((fight night on same night as a tourney)))
(22:16:48) Rhiannon D Brock: ((Plenty over there, Eros))
(22:16:48) Daimyo Joku: ::his dark colored almond shaped eyes scan off his opponent currious at his prefered style of swordsmenship::
(22:17:07) Eros DeBurgo: ((hmm ok ))
(22:17:07) Eros DeBurgo left the room.
(22:17:08) TonyGraziano13: So, uh...yo' offended tha' Ah use a bat? ::for Aenlyn::
(22:17:18) Daimyo Joku: off=over
(22:17:22) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 1. Ooooh. And it starts off looking really rough for the women.
(22:17:26) DUEL RoryLaurent: (sh/lc) 1-0, Tony.
(22:17:27) Richard D Harker: ::sips his coffee:: I need to practice more, mo chroi.
(22:17:45) TonyGraziano13: ::regardless, he hacks her with it::
(22:17:55) Rhiannon D Brock: Yes, you do. ::a nod to Joker::
(22:18:00) InsertProfoundSN: ::levels the blade before him, prepared::
(22:18:34) Karen J Wilder: ::Downs her second shot of scotch, waiting for the second round to begin.::
(22:18:51) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 1- Two thrusts mean no wasted time, and I hate wasted time. (Thrust/Thrust) 1-1.
(22:18:59) Richard D Harker: It's good exercise. ::another sip of coffee::
(22:19:05) AenlynHollow: ::doesn't get the slow start she was hoping for::
(22:19:14) Daimyo Joku: ((Stick, you got my first round, right?))
(22:19:22) Rhiannon D Brock: Karen, you have a minute?
(22:19:29) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 1- Lothar's the only one who wants to be different. It's not about being different, it's about the way you're different. (High Cut/Thrust) 1-0 Sylus.
(22:19:36) InsertProfoundSN: ::moves in, trading quick blows with Joku::
(22:20:03) Sylus Kurgen: ::As the shadow flew forward the black blade slid int Lothar's chest with emminating cold::
(22:20:23) LotharBlacklance: ::starts in with a cut and leaves himself open to the thrust::
(22:20:26) Karen J Wilder: Aye. ::Nodding to Rhi.::
(22:20:31) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 2. Aenlyn looks to repay him but Tony's probably the type of kid that got spanked by a lot of tree branches in his day. He knows how to avoid it.
(22:20:34) Daimyo Joku: ::the katana flicks out quickly in a simple Kendo like manuever, but he left him self exposed as well in the process and doesn't succeed unscathed::
(22:20:37) DUEL RoryLaurent: (lc/cp) 1.5-0, Tony.
(22:20:59) Rhiannon D Brock: I'd like you to meet someone. ::to Karen as she nudges Joker::
(22:21:07) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 2- The sound of swords clashing at knee height is not the same as the sound of swords clashing with knees. (Low Cut/Low Cut) Remains 1-1.
(22:21:08) AenlynHollow: ::swings low, but grimaces as her attack gets blocked::
(22:21:23) Firynth Jessail: Go Stump go!
(22:21:23) TonyGraziano13: ::halts the attack with the bat::
(22:21:24) InsertProfoundSN: ::rolls his wrist around and spincuts, meeting the katana low::
(22:21:26) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 2- I repeat. (Low Cut/Low Cut) Still 1-0 Sylus.
(22:21:31) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::she leaned against the bar, pale blue eyes flitting from ring to ring, watching everyone in them and taking notes, though her focus was more on the shadowed form of Sylus, remembering what Artemus had told her
(22:21:36) Richard D Harker: Hn? Right, hey. ::a friendly smile for the woman::
(22:21:38) Karen J Wilder: ::Smiles a bit, nodding to Joker.::
(22:22:03) Cheyenne Fordyce: last night and thought about whether it would be wise or not to inquire of how things were going, Chey decided against it and plucked another beer from behind the bar::
(22:22:20) Daimyo Joku: ::stays in an old school basics to start this match, finding his opponent just as solid taking little risks early on::
(22:22:26) Sylus Kurgen: ::As teh shadow swung low it's black blades connected with his opponent's::
(22:22:29) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 3- Joku, don't you start this again. (Fancy Sidestep/Stop Hit) 1-1.
(22:22:30) Karen J Wilder: So, yer spendin' time wit our li'l Rhi, eh? ::Grins::
(22:22:32) Rhiannon D Brock: Karen, this is my fiance, Dennis Harker. He prefers Joker. Dennis, this is Karen Wilder.
(22:23:02) Karen J Wilder: Fiance? ::Eyebrow raised.:: At yer age?
(22:23:15) InsertProfoundSN: ::drops back and waits, letting Joku tire himself::
(22:23:37) Richard D Harker: Pleasure. ::switches hands with the coffee mug and offers his right hand to Karen::
(22:23:50) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she sets her mug on the counter, she stands two inches short of six feet tall:: It's a long story. :: a grin on her face::
(22:24:02) Daimyo Joku: ::manages to get all fancy footworked for nothing as his opponent seems to wait for him to do something::
(22:24:04) Richard D Harker: Or at my age? ::chuckles::
(22:24:12) Karen J Wilder: ::Reaching over and shaking his hand lightly.::
(22:24:14) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 3- The problem with thrusting is when your opponent doesn't come rushing blindly at you. (Stop Hit/Thrust) 1-1.
(22:24:39) Karen J Wilder: Don' worry... ain't none o' us thet are our age, much less act it. ::Chuckles::
(22:24:41) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 3. Defensive stalemate as both look for an attack that doesn't come.
(22:24:46) DUEL RoryLaurent: (cp/sh) Still 1.5-0
(22:24:52) LotharBlacklance: ::readies himself, watching for the attack, stepping in with a stopthrust to the wrist::
(22:25:04) Sylus Kurgen: ::Gets stopped::
(22:25:17) AenlynHollow: ::furiously tries to think of a way to draw the match close again::
(22:25:22) Rhiannon D Brock: Sometimes not acting our age can be a good thing. ::a light squeeze to Joker's shoulder::
(22:25:27) TonyGraziano13: ::grunts at that one::
(22:25:39) Richard D Harker: I try to, Karen. But... ::warm smile for Rhi:: Rhi makes me forget it, sometimes.
(22:25:52) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 4- Vanion's parry notches half a score, which will add up. Eventually. (Thrust/Circular Parry) 1.5-1 Vanion.
(22:25:57) Daimyo Joku: ::blinks::
(22:26:20) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 4- Sylus's parry does exactly the same thing. (Low Cut/Circular Parry) 1.5-1 Sylus.
(22:26:26) InsertProfoundSN: ::arcs his blade across his body and then downard-away at an angle, beating away the thrust::
(22:26:41) Daimyo Joku left the room.
(22:27:08) Sylus Kurgen: ::Teh shadow dipped low and with a slight flick of his wrist set his opponents attack sailing to the side::
(22:27:15) Karen J Wilder: Ye'd best take care o' her... Her mom an' I go back a'ways.
(22:27:23) Daimyo Joku entered the room.
(22:27:34) LotharBlacklance: ::cuts in low and right into the parry::
(22:27:39) Daimyo Joku: ((test))
(22:27:41) Richard D Harker: I plan to. No more cheesecake. ::nods, solemn expression::
(22:28:22) Sylus Kurgen: ((pass))
(22:28:22) Daimyo Joku: ((damn lagf stinks, I am sorry. Did I miss rd 4 call?))
(22:28:22) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 4. Aenlyn attempts to mosey on out of the way but Tony tags her for the point.
(22:28:22) InsertProfoundSN: ((TH/CP, 1.5-1 me))
(22:29:26) DUEL RoryLaurent: (lc/fss) 2.5-0, Aenlyn.
(22:29:26) Karen J Wilder: ::Laughs.:: Jest... beefcake then? ::Winks at Rhi.::
(22:29:26) AenlynHollow: ::gets caught again, feeling this match slipping out of her reach::
(22:29:26) Rhiannon D Brock: ::an impish twinkle in her eyes:: Oh.. great.. now they will think you've been sneaking peeks at ladies legs..
(22:29:26) Richard D Harker: For Rhi, right.
(22:29:26) Richard D Harker: And only yours, mo chroi.
(22:29:27) DUEL RoryLaurent: ...er 2.5-0, Tony.
(22:29:42) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 5- Joku's strategy is to stop Vanion from moving. Vanion's is to stop Joku from thinking. (Low Cut/High Cut) 2.5-2 Vanion.
(22:30:22) TonyGraziano13: (sorry) ::swings out low::
(22:30:22) InsertProfoundSN: ::cuts straight across, tagging the shoulder as the katana's arced downard for a blow::
(22:30:31) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 5- Sylus's strategy is much like Vanion's. Lothar's is to show his masochistic side. Angel would like him. (Circular Parry/High Cut) 2.5-1 Sylus.
(22:31:09) Daimyo Joku: ((My IMs are quick, by chat room is super slow))
(22:31:09) Daimyo Joku: ::tried to pierce his opponent again and got defended nicely::
(22:31:09) Daimyo Joku: ::trades cuts rather brutually::
(22:31:09) Rhiannon D Brock: Well, I keep telling him he need more meat on his bones, but truthfully, I love him the way he is.
(22:31:09) Rhiannon D Brock: ::needs::
(22:31:32) Sylus Kurgen: ::Baseball swings the shadow blade through Lothat's head with that same biting coldness::
(22:31:32) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 5. Tony switches up and nails Aenlyn up high as her defense fails to stand up.
(22:31:32) DUEL Stick: Come on Aenlyn! ::Takes a quick break to support the lone remaining female in the competition.::
(22:31:33) LotharBlacklance: ::parries low and misses the cut swinging over it::
(22:31:34) Karen J Wilder: ::Glances to the rings.::
(22:31:35) DUEL RoryLaurent: (sh/hc) 3.5-0.
(22:31:46) TonyGraziano13: ::reverses the bat to tag her up high::
(22:31:48) DUEL Stick: Don't let a Graziano do that to you!
(22:31:49) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she looks toward Aenlyn's ring::
(22:31:53) AenlynHollow: ::doesn't get helped by it::
(22:31:59) AenlynHollow: ::is getting slaughtered::
(22:32:21) Rhiannon D Brock: Smack away that bat!!
(22:32:21) Karen J Wilder: Meybe 'e needs more... exercise. ::Idly.::
(22:33:07) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 6- Damn sneaky elves. Koy's the only one that doesn't like to tiptoe around people. (Sidestep/Lateral Parry) 2.5-2.5.
(22:33:07) InsertProfoundSN: ::too cautious that time::
(22:34:11) Rhiannon D Brock: ::Karen's comment causes her cheeks to redden, she looks to Joker::
(22:34:11) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 6- I bet that felt better for Sylus than it did for Lothar. Not just because Sylus is a shadow, either. (Thrust/Thrust) 3.5-2 Sylus.
(22:34:11) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 6. Aenlyn keeps on looking for the kid but he's no where to be found.
(22:34:11) Sylus Kurgen: ::Puts the cold blade through his opponents torso::
(22:34:11) Daimyo Joku: ::his pace about the ring deliberate and measured as he watches his opponent for a hint of movement::
(22:34:11) DUEL RoryLaurent: (th/ss) 4-0.
(22:34:11) Daimyo Joku: ::he found stepping tonight useful so he went with it and gets some better positioning to try and find an opening to exploit::
(22:34:11) AenlynHollow: ::just can't connect with anything this match::
(22:34:11) TonyGraziano13: ::dodges the attack::
(22:34:11) Richard D Harker left the room.
(22:34:58) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 7- The only reason I'm putting up with this ^@#$ is because the only alternative is to watch Tony doing well. (Circular Parry/Thrust) 3-2.5 Joku.
(22:35:39) Richard D Harker entered the room.
(22:35:39) Daimyo Joku: ::idely wonders why everything seems to be moving in slow motion as he deflects Vanion's lunge at him::
(22:35:39) InsertProfoundSN: ::tests, but is blocked::
(22:35:39) Karen J Wilder: Beat 'im down, Joku.
(22:35:53) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 7. Aenlyn attempts to defend herself on final time but Tony's low attack connects for the point and win.
(22:36:11) Richard D Harker: ::shakes his head to clear it::
(22:36:11) AenlynHollow: ::slumps to the ground with a sigh, utterly destroyed::
(22:36:18) DUEL RoryLaurent: (lc/flp) 5-0. Tony moves on to Round 3 and Aenlyn is eliminated. Nice one, you two.
(22:36:34) AenlynHollow: sorry.... guess I just didn't have it in me
(22:36:34) TonyGraziano13: ::slides in another attack low to close it::
(22:36:34) Daimyo Joku: ::briefly thinks he actually heard someone cheer for him in a duel not from his team and not in a league::
(22:36:53) Karen J Wilder: ::Looks back to Rhi and Richard.:: So, ye set a date yet?
(22:36:55) Richard D Harker: Rhi gets plenty of exercise. ::tries for the innocent look::
(22:37:07) Richard D Harker: Summer, this one. ::nods::
(22:37:18) Rhiannon D Brock: ::her jaw drops and she playfully swats Joker::
(22:37:21) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 7- Lothar keeps fighting Sylus off. No points, but he's not about to lose yet. (Low Cut/Low Cut) 3.5-2 still.
(22:37:27) TonyGraziano13: ::upward nods and out he goes::
(22:37:34) LotharBlacklance: ::plants his sword in Sylus's chest in trade::
(22:37:43) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 8- I can see where this is going already. (Duck/Low Cut) 3.5-3 Vanion.
(22:37:57) Sylus Kurgen: :;Meets his opponent's attack with one of his own::
(22:38:02) InsertProfoundSN: ::slices downward at an angle, grazing Joku's back::
(22:38:06) Rhiannon D Brock: June, but we haven't decided if it will be a big wedding or us running off. ::she grins at Joker as she teases him::
(22:38:29) Daimyo Joku: ::nods at the old school tactics off his opponent his own risk costing him the lead again::
(22:38:32) Karen J Wilder: Was more thinkin' 'bout exercise fer ye, lad.
(22:38:55) AenlynHollow: ::peers at people still dueling, trying to decide if any are worth cheering for::
(22:39:00) Richard D Harker: Hey. ::a swat back:: Running off sounds better and better, especially with that green devil of a cousin of yours. Me? What kind of exercise, Karen?
(22:39:16) Sylus Kurgen: ::Is a member of her own Guild!!! ::
(22:39:25) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 8- You have to score eventually, Lothar. Running off isn't going to help forever. (Sidestep/Sidestep) Still 3.5-2 Sylus.
(22:39:44) Karen J Wilder: I's thinkin' ye'll need lots o' stamina tae keep up wit' Rhi. ::Nods sagely.::
(22:40:08) Richard D Harker: That I do, that I do.
(22:40:08) Sylus Kurgen: ::Floats to the side as he followed his opponent to keep up the pressure::
(22:40:12) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::shifts against the bar, reaching for her third beer, content for the moment to just listen to the converstaion around her, taking notes as Cheyenne always did and watching the fights with interest::
(22:40:58) Rhiannon D Brock: Considering the size of the family I come from, we might have a busy house, too.
(22:41:15) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 9- And after all the copper-cheap parries, it finally adds up to a one point lead for Vanion and a fight that's almost over. (High Cut/Lateral Parry) 4-3 Vanion.
(22:41:34) Daimyo Joku: ::nods as Vanion caught him a nice reverse::
(22:41:54) InsertProfoundSN: ::brings his blade across his body, barely deflecting the quick cut::
(22:42:01) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 9. Lothar stabs the shadow. See, I know what I'm talking about. (Thrust/High Cut) 3.5-3 Sylus.
(22:42:28) Sylus Kurgen: ::Swung his attack high but was no fast enough to adjust his angle to score in return::
(22:42:48) Richard D Harker: More additions to the plans for the house. ::chuckles:: The contractors will love that.
(22:42:48) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she nods toward Joku's ring:: I dueled him the other night.
(22:43:13) DUEL Farek entered the room.
(22:43:22) Richard D Harker: Oh? Seemed like he was mindreading me tonight. Couldn't get headway.
(22:43:27) DUEL Stick: Ring One, Round 10- Squish. Elf-kabob means Elf-goodbye. (Thrust/Thrust) 5-4 Vanion wins.
(22:43:34) TonyGraziano13: ::goes and grabs some water::
(22:43:51) LotharBlacklance: ((wow...bad lag))
(22:43:56) Rhiannon D Brock: I made more headway than you did, but he's very good.
(22:44:02) Daimyo Joku: ::had a bad feeling a trade could happen, and loses in a sloppy way, steps back and bows respectively to both Vanion and Stick::
(22:44:06) Daimyo Joku: Thank you for the match.
(22:44:06) InsertProfoundSN: ::gladly trades thrusts one more time to end the tough duel::
(22:44:16) InsertProfoundSN: ::bows:: Very good dueling.
(22:44:26) InsertProfoundSN: ::and the elemental blade vanishes::
(22:44:32) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 10- Hope springs eternal, but not in great quantities when you're knocked on your ass and a half-point from losing. (Sidestep/Low Cut) 4.5-3 Sylus.
(22:44:42) Karen J Wilder: Aye... 'e were a Warlord sometime back, I think.
(22:44:55) Sylus Kurgen: ::Somehow Lothar was tripped by a shadow::
(22:45:24) LotharBlacklance: ::does his best to keep in the duel::
(22:45:39) Richard D Harker: Gah, no wonder. ::shakes his head::
(22:45:40) Daimyo Joku: ::he steps from the ring with a sigh, was hoping to acheive the honor, but hopes to be a Warlord by the next Talon tourney::
(22:45:54) InsertProfoundSN: ::poofs back over by the bar::
(22:46:11) Rhiannon D Brock: I've been running into a quite a few people, lately, that remember me from when I started dueling. ::a thoughtful smile to Karen::
(22:47:09) Rhiannon D Brock: Mother said Jeff Oakenshield was around a couple of months ago.
(22:47:13) DUEL Stick: Ring Two, Round 11- And the shadow does what a shadow knows best- not being where you thought it was a second ago. (Thrust/Sidestep) 5-3 Sylus wins.
(22:47:25) Karen J Wilder: Aye... 'e's a Baron again. Nae surprise there. ::Chuckles::
(22:47:30) Daimyo Joku: ::he moves to the bar, seeking another bottle or two of that Red Orc stout he has come to favor so much of late::
(22:47:35) Richard D Harker: I don't have that kind of luck, mo chroi. ::sneaks a kiss to Rhi's cheek:: Hn? Should I know that name?
(22:47:37) Sylus Kurgen: ::Blended with the shadows of the ring::
(22:47:49) LotharBlacklance: ::misses his target and moves back::
(22:47:59) LotharBlacklance: ::nods to Sylus:: well won
(22:48:01) Rhiannon D Brock: Jeff's a legend around here, mo chroi.
(22:48:11) Sylus Kurgen: Well fought...:;Salutes adn floats out of the ring::
(22:48:21) Richard D Harker: ::nods and sips his coffee::
(22:48:25) LotharBlacklance: ::sheathes the blade and moves from the ring, nodly briefly at Stick without comment::
(22:48:34) TonyGraziano13: ::guzzles some water::
(22:48:36) LotharBlacklance: ::heads for the bar to get a beer::
(22:48:46) Sylus Kurgen: ::Floats to the bar::
(22:49:09) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::raises her beer to Sylus' win, nodding as she turned that mental page for more notes for the next round of events, a long needed swallow:: Nice win Sylus. See, you didn't need luck. ::chuckles::
(22:49:15) Karen J Wilder: Aye... most winnin' duelist o' all time.
(22:49:17) InsertProfoundSN: (q) ::to Lothar:: Bad luck out there.
(22:49:25) DUEL Stick: Jeff's a little midget ^@#$*# whose ass I'm going to stomp the first chance I get. ::Stands and straightens her baggy shirt, pulling the nametag off and stuffing it in a pocket.::
(22:49:29) InsertProfoundSN: (q) I've seen you fight - you are better than he is.
(22:49:47) Sylus Kurgen: ::Nods:: thank you...though this tournament is not over with yet....
(22:49:55) Karen J Wilder: An' an old friend. ::Chuckles, hearing Stick.::
(22:49:55) DUEL RoryLaurent: ::blinks at Stick, trying desperately to keep a grin off her features::
(22:50:02) DUEL RoryLaurent: Alright. Here we go...
(22:50:27) LotharBlacklance: ::a brief smile to Vanion:: thanks
(22:50:27) LotharBlacklance: Good win on your part, good luck in the next round
(22:50:37) DUEL RoryLaurent: Sylus is the first entry still left in the tournament that hasn't had a bye so he gets a free ticket into the final match.
(22:50:50) InsertProfoundSN: Thank you.
(22:50:52) DUEL RoryLaurent: That leaves Vanion and Tony fighting it out for that other ticket. ::points to a ring:: Whenever you boys are ready.
(22:50:57) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she chuckles at Stick and leans to Joker:: (s) I can't shake the feeling that I know that guy. ::a nod toward Vanion::
(22:50:57) Sylus Kurgen: :;Sighs heavily::
(22:51:02) DUEL Stick: Little ^@#$. Knock me out of a tournament. ::Grumbles her way to the stairs, bad mood renewed, and gives the railing a number of hard pulls as she ascends and exits.::
(22:51:06) Richard D Harker: Now that one has a mouth like your Mum and your devil cousin. ::thumb point to Stick::
(22:51:17) DUEL Stick left the room.
(22:51:26) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::nodding as she watched him:: Looks like the first man will be winning this tournament, from what I've heard and what not, no man's ever won this tourney thingie.
(22:51:37) Richard D Harker: Hn? ::look that way::
(22:51:37) InsertProfoundSN: ::so, he had to do it the hard way::
(22:51:38) TonyGraziano13: ::moves into the ring Rory pointed to, bat dragged with him::
(22:51:39) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she laughs heartily as she hears Joker:: That would be Stick.
(22:51:50) Daimyo Joku: ::the bar being pretty crowded right now,m he moves back to a table near the rings once he gets his drink, sliding into a seat catching his breath::

(22:54:24) Daimyo Joku: ::kind of a disappointed look as he kind of envisioned him and Tony battleing in the last round given their legue histories::
(22:54:24) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 1. Vanion starts off defensively which works in his favor as he manages to deny Tony's lunge.

(22:54:38) LotharBlacklance: ::sips at his beer and roots for Vanion::

(22:55:51) Richard D Harker: Twenty gold?
(22:55:55) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::no Chey everything was NOT okay for the man, couldn't ya have kept ya mouth shut? but there was a part of Chey that knew sometimes it was better to talk things out, and hearing other's problems and happiness meant she didn't have

(22:56:40) AenlynHollow: ::doesn't really want any of the people remaining to win :-p::
(22:57:17) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::she sighed, noting his unhappines and unease and she shook her head, mentally cursing herself for even asking the damnable question:: (s) You'll find her Sylus, you gotta and you will. I know it.
(22:57:35) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 2. Tony and Vanion trade attacks with Vanion going high and Tony low. Both take points to advance the score.
(22:57:41) DUEL RoryLaurent: (lc/hc) 1.5-1, Vanion.
(22:57:53) Richard D Harker: Weelll, I did overtime last night, so I'll meet your bet, mo chroi.
(22:57:57) Daimyo Joku: ::felt he should see this tourney to its conclusion, to give the proper respect for its namesake, with money on it, even more now::
(22:58:08) Sylus Kurgen: ::Laying a shadowed hand on her should he smiled:: I know
(22:58:23) InsertProfoundSN: ::cuts straight across, slicing a thin red line across the shoulder, despite getting bashed in the knees::

(23:01:45) Rhiannon D Brock: I'd make make a different bet with you, mo chroi, but that one would cost you a few years.
(23:01:50) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, ROund 4. Tony continues his offensive assault as Vanion switches off the defense. However, neither can get through this time.
(23:01:56) DUEL RoryLaurent: (lcx2) Still 2-1.
(23:02:03) Richard D Harker: Hn? What kind of bet?
(23:02:10) TonyGraziano13: ::swings out low, at least fending him off this time around::
(23:02:24) Richard D Harker: ::sips his coffee::
(23:02:27) InsertProfoundSN: ::squares off and cuts around and low, meeting the bat::
(23:02:46) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::goosebumps entail on her slightly pale flesh as blinks:: That was weird. I'm sorry Sylus I missed it if you said anything, I think someone just walked over my grave. ::sly smirk::
(23:03:22) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she shakes her head and leans:: (s) I think history has enough to catch up with right now. ::a little kiss to Joker's cheek::
(23:03:26) Sylus Kurgen: :;Small smile:: It happens to the best of us at times...

(23:04:20) Daimyo Joku: ::sighs as he begins to feel his pocket about to be 20 gold lighter::
(23:04:23) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::nods and sighs, her left hand moving to her back pocket, fingering the edges of the message from Artemus and another sigh as she drank with her right::
(23:04:32) Daimyo Joku: Come on Tony, I'll buy multiple drinks if you win!!
(23:04:51) Daimyo Joku: for you that is, drinks that is
(23:05:11) TonyGraziano13: Man, mah two fans have gotta be disappointed in me so fah.
(23:06:22) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 6. Tony makes those two fans mighty happy by staying in this one. He catches Vanion before Vanion can escape.
(23:06:31) Amaltea left the room.
(23:06:42) DUEL RoryLaurent: (hc/fss) 3-2, Vanion.
(23:06:45) TonyGraziano13: ::swings up high and catches him::

(23:07:13) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she leans to Joker::
(23:07:18) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::blinks out of her daze and nods:: Okie. Go Tony!
(23:07:23) Cheyenne Fordyce: Kick his ass!
(23:07:48) InsertProfoundSN: ::smacked pretty hard in the face, takes a step back, then shakes it off, resetting his grip on the blade::
(23:08:11) TonyGraziano13: ::a third fan...so much pressure::
(23:08:13) Richard D Harker: ::lean to Rhi::
(23:08:13) Sylus Kurgen: ::Tries to whistle but it comes out as if glass has been broken::
(23:08:20) Cheyenne Fordyce: Come on Tony!
(23:08:28) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 7. Tony drops down low, looking to avoid the incoming attack, and gets nailed by Vanion's swing.
(23:08:32) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::cringes::
(23:08:36) DUEL RoryLaurent: (fdu/lc) 4-2, Vanion.
(23:08:38) TonyGraziano13: ::takes a gamble and pays dearly::
(23:08:39) Richard D Harker: ::nods:: I agree, anyone but. I'll trust your instinct.
(23:08:54) InsertProfoundSN: ::Tony's head drops, so the dark elf smashes it with the blade's hilt again::
(23:08:55) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she nods to the call and to Joker::

(23:10:45) TonyGraziano13: ::grips the bat with both hands just after scratching his head::
(23:10:46) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 8. After a series of heavy scoring rounds, the pair slows down the pace with some defense.
(23:10:52) DUEL RoryLaurent: (lp/sh) Still 4-2.
(23:11:03) TonyGraziano13: ::then he braces::
(23:11:08) InsertProfoundSN: ::drops back, cautious for a moment::
(23:11:22) Cheyenne Fordyce: Come on Tony! Kick his ass!
(23:11:46) Daimyo Joku: ::wonders if he should start counting out 20 gold now::
(23:11:52) LotharBlacklance: ::sets aside his beer as he watches the duel, waiting for Vanion to finish it out::
(23:12:08) Sylus Kurgen: COME ON TONY!!!!!
(23:12:14) Richard D Harker: ::and his free arm slips around Rhi's shoulders as they watch the match::
(23:12:39) Rhiannon D Brock: ::her free arm moves around Joker's waist::
(23:13:02) Cheyenne Fordyce: Tony I'll pay you 100 gold pieces if you WIN!
(23:13:09) Karen J Wilder: ::Leans back in her chair, setting her shotglass on the table again.::
(23:13:27) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 9. Tony continues to remain defensive as Vanion gears up for another attack.
(23:13:34) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::wonders who the hell Tony is and has no clue why she's rooting for him, but if it was the thing to do, hey what the hell she was having a semi good time::
(23:13:41) DUEL RoryLaurent: This time, however, Tony is able to fend off the incoming strike, allowing himself at least another round. (cp/th) 4-2.5, Vanion.
(23:13:43) Footballizcool entered the room.
(23:13:54) InsertProfoundSN: ::tests a thrust, no good::
(23:14:10) TonyGraziano13: ::stays alive::
(23:14:12) Sylus Kurgen: Keep it up Tony!!
(23:14:36) Daimyo Joku: ::nods at the exchange::
(23:14:53) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she finishes the contents of her mug and sets in on the bar::
(23:15:28) Rhiannon D Brock: ::sets it::
(23:15:56) Richard D Harker: ::finishes his coffee and sets his mug by Rhi's::
(23:16:03) Sylus Kurgen: ::Floats by the bar, shadowed gaze intent on the ring::
(23:16:24) DUEL RoryLaurent: Ring Center, Round 10. Ooooh. What a way to end it. Tony gets a bit ballsy and lashes out only to be stopped by Vanion. Point and win to Vanion.
(23:16:35) Daimyo Joku: ::takes a few more sips off the sout and is finally relaxed from his dueling earlier::
(23:16:35) DUEL RoryLaurent: (sl/sh) 5-2.5.
(23:16:35) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she leans against Joker and nods::
(23:17:00) TonyGraziano13: ::knew the guy would go defensive...but not like that:
(23:17:02) Karen J Wilder: <q> Well... this should be interestin'...
(23:17:09) LotharBlacklance: ::nods and calls out:: well done, Vanion
(23:17:16) TonyGraziano13: Psh, tha' sucked.
(23:17:25) Sylus Kurgen: ::Nods and floats forward::
(23:17:31) Richard D Harker: You'll get the golds later, mo chroi.
(23:17:33) InsertProfoundSN: ::cuts up to the elbow, stopping the attack with a sting, for the win::
(23:17:35) InsertProfoundSN: ::the blade vanishes, and Vanion poofs back over to the bar::
(23:17:36) Cheyenne Fordyce: Damn it all to hell!
(23:17:39) AenlynHollow: what a final, the arrogant guy who doesn't admit he's arrogant against the arrogant guy that does admit he's arrogant...
(23:17:51) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she applauds the results of the match and leans to Joker::

(23:18:14) Daimyo Joku: ::within the folds of his light cloack he fusses with something, counting quertly to himself in japanese absently mindly as gold pieces appear on the table::
(23:18:15) TonyGraziano13: ::hops out with the bat::
(23:18:17) DUEL RoryLaurent: You need a break, Vanion, or can we move on to the final?
(23:18:18) Shivblade2 left the room.
(23:18:23) Sylus Kurgen: (( :;Starts passing out "Root For Sylus" stickers, buttons, flags and hats:: ))
(23:18:29) AenlynHollow: you're not in the final Tony
(23:18:30) InsertProfoundSN: ::chugs the rest of his drink::
(23:18:35) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she grins and ducks back from Joker::
(23:18:36) InsertProfoundSN: Nah. I'm fine.
(23:18:41) InsertProfoundSN: ::stands back up::
(23:18:45) TonyGraziano13: Yaih, but Ah wan' a label too.
(23:18:56) AenlynHollow: I don't know you well enough to know
(23:18:58) Richard D Harker: I'll be glad to trade that. ::browwiggle and reach to pinch::
(23:19:11) TonyGraziano13: Ah don't usually hang out wit' trees is why.
(23:19:14) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she jumps a bit at the pinch::
(23:19:15) DUEL RoryLaurent: Okay. This one's for all the marbles. Vanion and Sylus. Whenever you two are ready, let's get started.
(23:19:36) Sylus Kurgen: ::Deep even breaths as he floats into the ring::
(23:19:46) InsertProfoundSN: ::and like that, he's in the ring::
(23:19:59) TonyGraziano13: Aw well, Ah don' wanna use a red knife anyways. ::and with that fool-proof excuse, he's out::
(23:19:59) Cheyenne Fordyce: Come on Sylus! Kick his freekin ass!
(23:20:03) TonyGraziano13 left the room.
(23:20:18) Sylus Kurgen: ::The black blades flow and warp into his hands as he salutes and readies::
(23:20:19) InsertProfoundSN: ::summons power from his Tower, and the elemental blade appears in his hand once more::
(23:20:40) Daimyo Joku: ::he then stands, straightens himself properly, then collects the gold coins and moves purposefully, though quietly to where Rhiannon is sitting::
(23:20:49) DUEL RoryLaurent: ::pulls out the long thing wooden box from her bag and places it on her lap:: The winner of this match will be named the Winter Talon of Redwin and will hold the dagger until the next tournament. Good luck to you both.
(23:20:54) AenlynHollow: you know what's sad... Tony put me out of the Fall tournament too.... I need to get some new opponents who I do well against...
(23:21:08) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she looks to Joku:: There's one more match to go.
(23:21:31) Richard D Harker: ::tries for the innocent look::
(23:21:36) Karen J Wilder: ::Chuckles slightly, hearing Aenlyn.::
(23:21:45) Sylus Kurgen: ::Everything is cut off as he focuses on teh being before him. Twin shadow scimitars leveled and ready::
(23:21:48) Daimyo Joku: ::then chuckles:: Oh yeah, its was for the whole thing. ::just shakes his like a fool and shuffles back towards his table::
(23:21:51) InsertProfoundSN: ::steadies himself, he's still rusty from having not used a blade in a year, but he has made it through stiff competition so far::
(23:22:22) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she smiles to Joku and playfully swats Joker::

(23:23:49) DUEL RoryLaurent: Final Ring, Round 1.
(23:24:04) Rhiannon D Brock: ::gooses Joker this time::
(23:24:12) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::she settles back against the bar, wondering idly if Artemus was already waiting for her in the Annex, but she figured he would have sent word or happened here if were done with is previous business and pale blues fixed on Sylus::
(23:24:13) DUEL RoryLaurent: Vanion and Sylus start off aggressively. Vanion shoots one in low while Sylus does the same high. A point to both. (lc/hc) 1 all.
(23:24:55) InsertProfoundSN: ::waits for the opportune moment, and then strikes quickly low, taking a blow high in return::
(23:25:16) Sylus Kurgen: :;The shadow turned sideways, when it reappeared it's blade was connecting wiht Vanion's nose, but he could not avoid the return cut::
(23:25:27) Daimyo Joku: ::the gold goes into an empty pocket within the folds of his attire so he doesn't have to count it::
(23:25:55) Daimyo Joku: ::then as he reaches his table, he realizes he finished of his beer again and carries the empty back to the bar in hopes of finding a new one::
(23:26:15) DUEL RoryLaurent: Final Ring, Round 2.
(23:26:50) DUEL RoryLaurent: Perhaps because of the aggressive start, the pair gets a bit wary. Both move away for no points. (ssx2) Still 1 all.
(23:26:59) InsertProfoundSN: ::rolls away from Sylus::
(23:27:09) Sylus Kurgen: ::Blends with the shadows and fades::
(23:27:11) InsertProfoundSN: ::his knees bent, keeping fairly low to the ground::

(23:33:11) InsertProfoundSN: ::rolls his wrist and meets the opposing blade low::
(23:33:16) Daimyo Joku: ::seems to cheer more for Vanion's successes, having gained some respect since he and Tony got eliminated by him, having never met the guy before::

(23:36:22) DUEL RoryLaurent: Final Ring, Round 7.
(23:36:52) DUEL RoryLaurent: They continue to match each other point for point. This round Vanion connects low which leaves him exposed to Sly Guy's high attack. (lc/hc) 4 all.
(23:37:12) InsertProfoundSN: ::trades blow-for-blow again::
(23:37:35) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she closes her eyes for a moment then looks up to the banners hanging from the walls and rafters::

(23:47:46) DUEL RoryLaurent: You just say that because it was starting to freak you out. ;:teasingly::
(23:48:19) Sartan W: ::a soft laugh:: Seriously, that was just creepy.
(23:48:32) Richard D Harker: I hope your instinct is right, mo chroi. I really do.
(23:49:01) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she just nods::
(23:49:02) DUEL RoryLaurent: Final Ring, Round 10.
(23:49:13) DUEL RoryLaurent: Nope, there's no winner this round either. (lcx2) Still 5 all.
(23:49:47) DUEL RoryLaurent: ::a soft snicker, still whispering to Sar:: So... what've you been up to?
(23:49:56) Sylus Kurgen: :Swings low and meets his opponent's attack with one of his own::
(23:50:10) LotharBlacklance: ::shakes his head:: damn....
(23:50:34) Karen J Wilder: ::A slight chuckle, watching.::
(23:50:55) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she finds herself watching flashing blades and moving feet a bit more closely than usual::
(23:50:56) Sartan W: (q) Nothing really, I was taking a nap and just overslept. ::grinning:: It's a busy life I lead.
(23:51:21) Daimyo Joku: ::knows how wide open the tactics can be after dual low cuts, this round probably could be the decided he muses to himself::
(23:51:42) Sylus Kurgen: ::Floats away from Vanion and raises both blades above his head and begins to clang them together repeatedly::
(23:52:23) InsertProfoundSN: ::meets the blade and then steps back, calmly::
(23:52:24) DUEL RoryLaurent: I'm just glad you're still taking it a bit easy. ::patting his knee::
(23:52:53) Richard D Harker: ::watches too, with a silent prayer for Rhi's instinct::
(23:53:05) DUEL RoryLaurent: Final Ring, Round 11.
(23:53:09) Sylus Kurgen: ::Floats around the outside of the ring, still tapping the blades together::
(23:53:18) Daimyo Joku: ::man that stout has such a good after taste he takes a couple more swallows::
(23:53:26) DUEL RoryLaurent: Finally, a lead! Sylus slips out of the way of the incoming lunge for a half point. (ss/th) 5.5-5, Sylus.
(23:53:39) InsertProfoundSN: ::well, that thrust wasn't the trick::
(23:53:57) Sylus Kurgen: ::Suddenly the shadow turned sideways and vanished from sight::
(23:53:59) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she shakes her head and leans to Joker::
(23:54:20) Daimyo Joku: ::thinks theses duels in this venue lunge more often then teen-agers in the park after dark::
(23:54:21) Sartan W: ::a wry smile as he shifts closer to her:: (s) When do I not take it easy, exactly?
(23:54:44) Richard D Harker: ::nods:: I wouldn't have known that.
(23:55:14) Sylus Kurgen: ::When he reappeared he was behind Vanion::
(23:56:04) Alia Anor Graham entered the room.
(23:56:10) Daimyo Joku: duels=duelers
(23:56:18) Karen J Wilder: ::Having seen someone duel with a similar style recently, she nods to herself.::
(23:56:19) Footballizcool: ::walks in with Alia::
(23:56:28) Alia Anor Graham: ::walks beside Dimitri::
(23:56:41) Sylus Kurgen: ::Blades level at Vanion and he readies once more::
(23:56:48) Footballizcool: ::helps her to a table::
(23:56:56) Footballizcool: ::pulls a chair out for her::
(23:57:03) DUEL RoryLaurent: Final Ring, ROund 12.
(23:57:10) Alia Anor Graham: ::lights on a chair slowly, nodding at Dimitri:: thank you
(23:57:33) Footballizcool: welcome. ::takes a seat at the same table::
(23:57:43) DUEL RoryLaurent: Vanion drops back defensively as Sylus attacks. However, Vanion's defense can't stop the low blow which gives Sylus the point and win. (sh/lc) 6.5-5, Sylus.
(23:57:48) InsertProfoundSN: ::decides to try something... interesting... here - that's just silly::
(23:57:53) Footballizcool: Yes.
(23:58:05) Sylus Kurgen: YESSS!!!
(23:58:06) Karen J Wilder: Well done.
(23:58:09) Richard D Harker: ::stares then shakes his head::
(23:58:17) InsertProfoundSN: ::hops out of the ring, walks right over to Alia, grabs her, and carries her right out of the Arena::
(23:58:18) Sylus Kurgen: ::Leaps into the air..er well floats higher::
(23:58:20) Alia Anor Graham: ::bright smile seeing the match end::
(23:58:24) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she antes up the twenty gold pieces and heads over to Joku::
(23:58:40) Footballizcool: ::jumps up and chases after Vanion::
(23:58:41) Alia Anor Graham: ::shocked at the sudden grab and floating::
(23:58:56) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::had been holding her breath and nearly falls offa her stool as she cheers for Sylus:: Yay! Great job Sylus!
(23:59:08) Sylus Kurgen: ::Laughing as he lands lightly, his shadowed blades fading into nothing::
(23:59:23) Daimyo Joku: ::kind of shakes his head a moment as history will remember the first man to with the honor of Talon of Redwin in a Swords tourney, sighs a moment, head bowed as he finishes off that recently fresh stout::
(23:59:25) DUEL RoryLaurent: Sylus is the new Talon of Redwin. Congratulations. ::standing, opening the wooden box in her lap to reveal the dirk with the Redwin crest on the velvety cushion within::
(23:59:41) Footballizcool: ::stops at the doorway::
(23:59:58) Sylus Kurgen: ::With a proud smile he floats out of the ring and heads towards Rory::
(23:59:59) DUEL RoryLaurent: The woman's hold on the title has officially ended after a full year.
(00:00:29) Rhiannon D Brock: Joku? ::offers up the gold pieces and reaches to set them into his hand::
(00:00:34) Sylus Kurgen: ::Is speechless::
(00:00:50) DUEL RoryLaurent: ::holds the box out for Sylus:: Now you bring this back to me in one piece before the next tournament, alright? Better yet, enter the next tournament to defend the title. No Talon has yet done that.
(00:00:58) Daimyo Joku: ::sees Rhiannon come and looks up and stands giving her a slight bow:: Ah, yes, it was a pleasure, mayhaps you will get a chance to win it back some day.
(00:01:00) AenlynHollow: ::is sure Sylus will find the ability to talk soon enough::
(00:01:04) Amaltea entered the room.
(00:01:15) Footballizcool: ::falls to his knees::
(00:01:24) Sylus Kurgen: ::Nods as he takes the dagger reverently::
(00:01:43) Cheyenne Fordyce: ::quickly steadies herself on her stool, watching::
(00:01:45) Rhiannon D Brock: It was a pleasure, but not as much a pleasure as dueling with you. ::she smiles warmly::
(00:01:47) Richard D Harker: Your Mum will never believe it.
(00:02:00) DUEL RoryLaurent: Congratulations. ::a soft smile to him as she withdraws back to the couch::

(00:02:28) Karen Wilder entered the room.
(00:02:29) Terra Dragona left the room.
(00:02:37) Daimyo Joku: Thank you Rory

(00:04:02) Mur of Eire left the room.
(00:04:04) DUEL RoryLaurent: You too. I want to see you back here next tournament. ::with a smile to Rhiannon as she snags Sar's hand and heads for the stairs::
(00:04:06) Daimyo Joku: ::smiles to Rhiannon, a firnedly one, and then bows again as he pockets the gold and transfers the seperated 20 back into the regular full one::
(00:04:11) LotharBlacklance: ::finishes his beer and heads out::
(00:04:33) Karen Wilder: Would th' Talon like tae duel th' Overlord?
(00:04:35) Farek II entered the room.
(00:04:48) Rhiannon D Brock: ::she moves back to Joker:: Oh.. I think she will. ::she leans to him::
(00:04:53) Richard D Harker: ::lean in::
(00:04:56) DUEL RoryLaurent: ::a wave to Joker with her free hand before she sneaks on out of the Arena, a bit exhausted::
(00:04:59) Karen Wilder: ::Standing from her chair, hand resting calmly on the slipcase at her side.::
(00:05:17) Cheyenne Fordyce: (( ::smacks the lag feriously:: ))
(00:05:25) DUEL RoryLaurent: ((I think dueling will continue in the Annex. Hate to call and run but I'm beat. Thanks for your participation! Night! ))

(00:05:59) Footballizcool: ::stands up very shakily::
(00:06:23) Farek II: ::Farek slinked in from downstairs with a bottle of gin in his hand. He moved slowly to the bar, a scowl forcing his lips southward::
