((I know I'm not ambidextrous, that was for flavor :I))

Quies hinted at the strike right before she withdrew, gripping her only able weapon tightly with her able hand. All this movement made her want to get her kill on, but that would be pretty inappropriate for her.

It was now or never.

"Do you have any last requests? Because I sure have one."

 OH MY! I sure love a good cliffhanger! Because I'm going to sleep and I'll return home extra late tomorrow. What will happen next? Find out in ~20 hours! ^_^

 Turn 22.
 (T2-1vsC4) The scout jumps away and barely manages to fire her bow, but the shot is inaccurate and weak.
 (C4vsT3+1) The fighter charges again. This time his attack misses just barely. Though his desperation makes the fighter try much harder to win, his pain is hard to bear and his body is starting to get hard to control.

[Tiruin]

((Knew it on dat shield.

Edit: Welp.))

[Tiruin]

Quies shifted her feet and dove into a roll, jumping up from the combined momentum and landing quite a while away from the Warrior. In her peripheral vision, she swore he was using the same tactic as before, but her shot didn't hit for some reason.

Then it hit her. The tried and true tactic of knowing your enemy, just as knowing yourself.

She promptly cursed at [NOT SUN TZU] as she considered her options.

PM'd

"Silence, I see." She smiled in spite of her error. The next few moments would be truly exciting.

[Caellath]

((I'm just happy that Last Stand is exactly what it says on the tin. I guess Eldren can keep going for a little while. As for Titty Monster, I was very disappointed when I saw that shi had raised Snap Shot up to LvII. Treachery.))

[Toaster]

Turn 15 when I look away, and turn 22 when I look back.  Not bad progress!  Also, good fight!  I know what I'd do, at least (given the respective tricks I know.)

[Tiruin]

...Treachery.))

((Not exactly. I never explicitly replied to that one part. Check again. 

Also, I mean that Welp in the first post post-turn.

Edit: You'll know soon enough, Caellath  ))

[Caellath]

Eldren gritted his teeth. Pain was kicking in harder than ever before, but it was nothing compared to the time he died. The warrior would keep on fighting until there was nothing left but a dried husk.
In between his pained breathing, he looked at the scout. She was in a better shape than him, but he was puzzled as to why most of his attacks did not even connect.

"I have no requests. I died once; dying is not alien to me."

((What is that Welp for?))
Edit:((Eldren's manly, well defined chest and six-pack is all slashed and pierced at the moment. That is not good.))

[tomas1297]

 Turn 23. Ending.

 (T4-1 vs C auto1) The fighter charges the scout without any concerns about his state. He knows that this is going to be his last battle, but even so, he must fight without showing weakness.
 The fighter stops. A dagger is stuck in his forehead. The scout threw it at him with great power. The fighter loses the strength to keep fighting and stands as if frozen in front of his enemy.
 In a few seconds, he will run out of blood and return to the void, marking the end of the Ritual...

((Whew...Finally finished the game, but the story is left as is, so you could RP the last moments. I'm starting the FSN RTD (hopefully) today, so yay, more games~))

[Caellath]

((I'm waiting for the FSN RtD.
Also, I guess I got a pre-in for that.
No need to RP anything on my part, Tiruin with Tits ^tm will probably do it for me.))

[tomas1297]

((I'm waiting for the FSN RtD.

((Yes, yes you did.))

[Tiruin]

Quies Nex lowered her left hand after angling the throw to hit the jugular. It didn't work, providing a slow death, sadly.

She moved, grasping her limp arm with a grimace and stopped at the side of Eldren and knelt with a grim expression as she lowered the body into a prone position.

"I'm...sorry it had come to this. But...the Ritual-"

She could see him coughing up blood, as well as leaking it through his torso. She gave him pause enough to speak.

Spoiler: Character. (click to show/hide)

Name: Quies Nex
Class: Offensive Scout
Bio: Quies is a woman of medium height with long brown hair tied into a single long braid at the back of her head. Her eyes are dark brown, complementing her light skin tone. Her body is lithe and built for acrobatics and flexibility, suiting her role as a Martyr.

Once, she led a noble life as a huntress of her people. A life many looked down upon as mundane and easy to do, but she didn't mind, having a benevolent viewpoint of life. Until that life was shattered by the Ritual.

Accused and framed by her neighbors, and thought dead after being left to die in the wilderness, she depended on her body, mind and spirit to get her through. Revenge was on the bottom list of her priorities, but another reason presented itself. She knew her skills, and learned more about the Ritual upon her first chance in getting into a Major city's library.

Attentive and sharp, seeking knowledge of the goings of the place was easy enough, only resorting to wounding and maiming for those who crossed her path. She would join in the tournament or 'Ritual' as it was called. The pain would be meaningless if she had the chance in winning this. For it was for the benefit of all.

Spoiler: Turn list (click to show/hide)

Turn 0

Train Strength and Endurance

Turn 1

Search Castle for information/enemies.

If possible, train Endurance

Turn 2

Search my surroundings for any notable areas. Areas that I could use as other bases of operation and areas that seem suspicious to hold other demigods.

Turn 3

Flee to the town in the distance then enter stealth. Search for any demigod there.

(Did I find another demigod in the forest, or did that demigod approach me?)

Turn 4

-(3vs1) The enemy charges you and misses in an embarassing way, letting you escape. You have put some distance between yourself and your enemy and are not too far from the town, yet you can tell that he may still be able to catch up with you.
 Since the fire in the town is probably caused by fighting, you may get caught in a battle with three other demigods, which is definately bad for you. However, that may also be used as a distraction if you're careful.
 The question is how will you use the current situation. The one chasing you is definitely a powerful opponent, yet anyone that can cause such a fire is dangerous as well. Perhaps a temporary alliance would be useful? Even if it could hinder you in the long run, you could defeat your current opponent much easier.

Stealth into town and Strike at the weakest opponent with my arrow!

{Snap Shot} is used as an added attack.

Turn 5

>Sneak attack on the one with the staff.

>Follow it up with a
{Snap Shot} (If the staff holder is still alive. I want to steal that kill! If dead, re-target at the one with a dagger)

>If anything is targeted at me, dodge. Do not use the Wind Shield.

. . .

Something of note:

... I sent a PM telling him for my character to charge the other to prevent escape... were you trying to make an alliance with me the first time we met? Because I chose to attack and I only discovered you wanted a truce in the turn aftewards, when the GM told me that you ran but had recognized me as a warrior blablablablabla.))

((Caellath, I have to admit, I didn't actually request your alliance, but when I saw you say that it said I did, I suspected there was sort of a Deus Ex Machina over there by the GM or something. Evidenced by the turns.

Still...up for an ending? You still have the Last Breath there.))

[tomas1297]

((Hey, let's give this ending the ending it deserves. You still have the Last Breath there.))

((No need to RP anything on my part, Tiruin with Tits ^tm will probably do it for me.))

((Caellath is a dick.))

[Caellath]

((Not necessarily. My character will die anyway and I don't like those dramatic deaths. Oh well, wait, I have something to do.))

Eldren rose his hands and motioned Quies to move closer, his face as stern as it was in life. His breathing was uneven but he had already accepted death.

Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Eldren Varanir
Class: Defensive fighter
Bio: A tall (6'1"), young (19 years) and well-built man, of shoulder-length black hair and deep yellow eyes, Eldren had a father everyone in his village called a hero, due to his efforts on the ongoing war. Due to his dream of becoming as great a warrior as his dad was, Varanir trained with dedication in his infancy and teenage years to master the abilities of his idol, namely being able to wear the very heavy Vanguard Knight armor and maneuver as if only mildly encumbered and carry the also heavy shield, using it with finesse and speed to block the incoming attacks before counterattacking with a warhammer. Although getting used to the heavy equipment made him almost incapable of dodging, it gave him quick reflexes for guarding and parrying and counterattacking with lightining strikes. He managed to learn the arts of war, but in his first battle, as he rode on his steed and took the front, shield in position to form a defensive wall with his companions, the area around him was bombarded by ballistae fire, causing him to fall off his horse as the steed was struck down by a giant bolt. As he tried to rise once again, afflicted only by minor wounds, the vanguard soldiers were swarmed by dozens of lowly warriors dressed in rags which killed him after three minutes of stubborn and savage fighting as the young soldier tried to fend them off. He died at the age of 19, bitterly and in shame, without having a proper chance to be a great Vanguard and without bringing honor to his father's name.

[Tiruin]

The Huntress moved forward accordingly, casting a glance at the corpse a ways back. Another dead soul, bound by this Ritual.

She began to reconsider her primary goal.
