Arena Fights: Humanoid on Humanoid
« on: November 03, 2011, 08:45:12 pm »

Again. Another arena fighting thread. BUT this one differs a bit.

1. You do not need to apply for a combatant. Instead, you vote on certain criteria.
2. Battles will be created based on highest number of votes cast.
3. Battle reports will not be posted. Pre-battle details, combatant deaths, and results replace reports.
4. There are 5 types of fights: 1-on-1, 3-on-3, 5-on-5, 10-on-10, or animal fights.

Votes
---------------
The vote format must look like this:
Code: [Select]
Battle type: <enter battle type>This must show up on a ballot.

This is the format for man-to-man combat:
Code: [Select]
Creature 1: <human/dwarf/elf/goblin/kobold>
Creature 2: <human/dwarf/elf/goblin/kobold>
Combat: <close range/long range>
Weapon: <melee weapon name>
Material: <wood/metal>
Armor: <yes/no>
Shield: <yes/no>
Standard metal will be iron. Long range is unarmored by default and will get a crossbow/30 bolts. Armor cannot be made from wood, no matter what those fort mode elves tell you. Armor will consist of a breastplate, helm and boots.

This is the format for man-to-beast combat:
Code: [Select]
Man: <human/dwarf/elf/goblin/kobold>
Beast: <lion/cheetah/leopard/jaguar/hydra/dragon>
Man Combat: <close/long>
Weapon: <melee weapon>
Material: <wood/metal>
Armor: <yes/no>
Shield: <yes/no>
Beasts will get Skilled in Biter by default. Armor will consist of breastplates, chain shirts, chain leggings, helms, gauntlets and boots.

The battle details will be posted like this:
Code: [Select]
<1/3/5/10> {creaturename} vs <1/3/5/10> {creaturename}
Both sides (both) <armored/shielded>
All warriors equally skilled.
Both sides armed with <melee weapon>
Let the battle begin!

Urist McSwordsdwarf was killed by {creaturenumber}
Goblin McUnconscious was killed by {creaturenumber}
Human McMelting has bled out.
Dragon McBleeding has bled out.

<creature> survivor(s), all enemies dead.
Battle posts will be updated. The deaths of the warriors will be in order. The final line will hold the survivors on one side. The battle is over when all of one side is dead.


The thread is online. To keep it fair, you can only vote once per battle. Ballots do not have to be placed in codes.

All warriors equally skilled.
Both sides armed with war hammers.

I'd like a 1 on 1 with

Creature 1: Giant Eagle
Creature 2: Sea Monster

... I think you can get them to fight by putting the Eagle in the air above the monster and have the monster be in water.

If you can't get it to work then

Creature 1: Skeleton Whale
Creature 2: Dragon

Beast fights are 3 humanoids on 5 beasts. I've already got a battle running, anyways. Scratch this, it's over. NEXT!!!

 No love for Beast vs. Beast?

  Also, what are the limits of the 'humanoid' constraint then? Can I use ogres? Giants? Ettins? Minotaurs?

Battle type: Man vs. Beast
Man: Elf
Beast: Giant Eagle
Man Combat: long
Weapon: Bow
Material: Metal (Weapon & Ammo)
Armor: No
Shield: No

  Elves are grand master archers, high master bowmen, and master dodger/shield user/armor user

  Let's see how much they love nature when it tries to rip their flesh from their bones.

(Put them on opposing sides instead of 'independent' if they refuse to fight initially)

It has to be bipedal, and it has to speak. Giants, ettins, minotaurs, and ogres count as beasts.

Long range elves do get master in archery/x-bow. I said long range gets an x-bow and bolts anyways. But IT'S ON!!!

3 Elves vs 5 Giant Eagles
Both sides unarmored.
Elves armed with metal crossbows/bolts.
All warriors equally skilled.
Let the battle begin!

Giant Eagle 2 has bled out.
Giant Eagle 1 was shot and killed.
Giant Eagle 3 was shot and killed.
Giant Eagle 4 suffocated.
Giant Eagle 5 was shot and killed.

5 Elven survivors, all beasts dead.

EDIT: There was a typo in battle creation: I accidentally put 5 elves instead of 3.

You all may be delighted to hear that 15 elves died against a force of 15 gobbos. And all the elf corpses were butchered.
