I would go ahead make a thread completely for open dueling! Whoever's whoever may challenge whoever's whoever!
So if anyone wants to fight each other go ahead and say it!
But... take into account that if you challenge me... you must prepare for your doom!

Kai: Can I do this? Please??

Me: *sigh* You've already fought tons of people...

Kai: Just one more?

Me: Fine.


Kai: *draws katana* Namor Svensteel! I hereby challenge you or one of you characters to a duel to the death!

Well then! One of my two favorite characters is already dueling someone, but the other one is open...

Svensteel: Prepare to meet thy doom! Spawn of Ixion! Descendent of Feltarr! Destroyer of Kylor!

Me: Ok, Ok calm down! It's just a spar!

Svensteel: Oh... Well... I suppose so. But still:
Prepare to meeteth thy doom!

You make the first move!

Kai: My apologies, Namor, my author is slow.

Me: I am not! Just had tons of stuff to do today, both online and IRL.

Kai: Anyhow, Svensteel, before we start I think we need to establish cobha. Is there anything special in your world that you can do? I, as a phantom, can turn invisible at will. And being as my type is Caliga, I can produce a fog from my hands - useless if you ask me - and can learn to use any weapon with great skill in a very short amount of time.

*Forgives Amanda*
*Goes to look up Cobha in dictionary*
Svensteel: Well... I am kinda a special form of Kylor... a Ulues-eliel. I am a direct descendent of the lord of gods: Svenwul-Dyecon.
I draw power from all the gods, Ziklag, godess of light
Ixion, god of Shadow. Grond, god of rock. Hazor, god of fire. Ziph, godess water. Hephor, godess peace. Holom, god of war. Kabzeel, godess of love. Telem, god of hate. Kesil, godess of lore. Tirzah, god of insanity. Zorah, godess of sickness. Shaeshie, god of health. Gederath, god of prosperity. Krylorcale, godess of poverty. And Svenwul-dyecon, King of the gods.
So... each of them gives me unique powers which I don't have time to list. I wield my father's double bladed rapiers and a magical staff from the Lord of the Cressilcale. That's it!

Kai:

Me: A little too powerful?

Kai:

Me: To translate, Kai is asking if maybe we could just leave cobha behind. He'll lose his invisiblity and fog machine -

Kai: I am not a fog machine!

Me: - and Svensteel won't be calling down lightning from the heavens or whatever he can do.

Kai: *unsheathes katana* Your move.

Svensteel: *Swerves sword in a cut along Kai's left side, at the same time coming with his other sword to the right.*

Kai: This is a problem.

Me: You're good at getting out of problems.

Kai: Sometimes. *parries the left sword as he drops to the ground and rolls into Svensteel's legs. He pulls out a shuriken and slices Svensteel's ankle with it before scrambling to his feet a safe distance away*


I have no clue if that would work IRL...

Personally I would duck and grab ahold of one of the sword hands and jump off of his legs, breaking the knee... that's just me though...

Svensteel: *grabs staff out of cloak and sweeps Kai's legs*
(would have inserted the healing powers of Shaeshie the god of health here... but no cobha... lol)

Kai: Definitely glad for no cobha, then. *jumps staff easily* Wait, if you're wielding two swords and a staff all at the same time, does that mean you have three hands?

Haha no, sword went in ground *Svensteel picks up sword*
*steps back in defensive stance*

Kai: Oh. Wish I'd known that before. *stands with katana in middle guard position, waiting for Svensteel to strike*

Kai: I'm not Roel - I can be patient. *still waits*

Kai: *munches on an apple* Hmmm... *throws apple into air* *throws a shuriken and slices the apple in half before it hits the ground*

Kai: No thank you. I'm not losing.

Kai: What's that supposed to mean? You aren't using cobha are you? Seeing me while your eyes are closed? That is forbidden in this fight.

Kai: Then why would I lose if I attacked you while your eyes were closed?

Svensteel: *smiles slowly* because you are busy having a conversation with me!
*opens eyes and pulls blade from ground; he steps towards Kai (who is still sitting) and stabs at her torso*

Me: Wow... I wasn't expecting that to happen?

Kai: Two things. One, I am not a girl. Never was, never will be. Two. I am not and was not sitting. *easily deflects blade* Wait, let's make that three things. Die, Sven! *rapidly slices at three different angles at Sven's arms*

Svensteel:
1: Your name is Kai and your author is a girl?
2: You weren't sitting? And I sat? How rude.
3: Three angles? Are you multi-limbed?
4: Svensteel twirls his (left or right? which arm were you attacking?) blade around his arm, blocking the attacks. And kicks the stomach of the "boy"

Kai: Uh, yeah, my name is Kai and my author is a girl. But that doesn't mean I'm a girl! 2. Whatever. 3. No! Multiple slashes, each at different angles. *dodges backwards, drops to one knee and slashes Sven's legs before springing lightly away into the rafters to reconsider his plan of attack*

Kai: *easily runs along the rafters, evading Sven*

Kai: *drops to avoid them, but just as quickly pulls himself up behind Sven and pushes him off the rafter*

*Svensteel...* Err what's a rafter?

Kai: Manda?

Me: Why me?

Kai: You're in charge.

Me: Fine. A rafter is one of the supporting beams of the roof. See, the trusses are like giant triangles. You put 'em up on the walls with a fork-lift type thing ( I forget its name) or a bunch of people with ladders. The rafter is the bottom board. We used 2x4s, but I think 2x6's are used too. The ones in HW are probably more like 3x6's. (or bigger)

Me: Oh! Thanks!

Svensteel: *dives into the water* *comes to the surface* *swims towards land*

*draws sword*

Carliss

Hey Lady Carliss! If no one comes to fight you me or Mandy here will!

Kai: We have a lake? *shrugs and throws a dagger into Sven's back*

*the dagger is easily deflected by Svensteel's armour*
Svensteel: We are lowering ourselves to stabbing in the back are we?
*Svensteel climbs up onto the shore and hides behind one of the 19 palm trees that stand on the island*

*Draws swords*

I, Milly Manderly, daughter of the governor, challenge you to a duel, Lady Carliss! I hereby state the terms.

1: No cobha shall be used, save both combatants agree to it, and then only one form of cobha each will be allowed.
2: Unless one clearly states that one has wounded one's opponent, he/she is free to deflect the blow. If it is stated that he/she is wounded, he/she cannot change it.
3: No combatant shall mortally wound an opponent in one stroke. Mortal wounds must be done in many turns, in order to give one's opponent a chance to save himself/herself.

Do you accept?

Simultaneously doing two duels in the same thread at the same time.... interesting!

Interesting, and hopefully not confusing. I wish thee the best of luck for your duel, Milly my sister! May the best lady win!

Kai: "Lower" myself, Sven? I think not. I am an assassin. Stabbing people in the back is my job. And you don't really fit behind that palm tree. *walks up and throws a shuriken at Sven, but it misses and only scratches his arm* Hmmm... was hoping for more, but that will do.

Thankee kindly, and may it be so! I here await the answer of the honorable Lady Carliss.

I accept your challenge! If you wish on guard!

Carliss

I accept! *lifts blade in salute*

Milly: *Salutes with swords, and awaits Lady Carliss' move*

You start.

(thinks of something really cool to do... remembers; "no cobha"... nevermind )

Svensteel: *climbs to the top of the tree and sits behind the leaves; waiting for Kai to be close enough to make the jump...*


-God bless

Kai: *quickly gets too far away to be jumped on* plays with katana almost boredly* Manda, how long does the poison take to work?

Me: Three hours? Haven't worked it out yet.

Kai: Three hours works.

*whirls sword around and assumes the on gaurd position*
