Nikolai VS Dire Wolf!
The Dire Wolf charges at Nikolai, who swiftly jumps aside, and while the wolf is attacking, critically wounds the dire wolf with his claws! The Dire Wolf, however, has his experience in battle and his natural born swiftness and jumps again at Nikolai! Nikolai hesitates a bit too long and gets bitten by the wolf! He seems to be wounded pretty bad, but manages to attack the wolf once more with his claws. He manages to inflict minor damage onto the wolf, who in turn tries to bite him while he's down. He manages to hold off the jaws, albeit barely. The crowd, at this moment, is going WILD with excitement, as this could very well be Nikolai's last match. It could go any way now... Nikolai quickly stands up, but the Dire Wolf is there again, and slashes his claws against Nikolai! Nikolai can barely dodge, but there is barely any damage done. Nikolai then jumps onto the Dire wolf, hoping to get a hit off. The Dire Wolf, however, knows this maneuver and manages to jump aside. Nikolai lands on his feet, but is surprised by the Dire Wolf's next attack, which came from behind. And it's a hit... Luckily for Nikolai, his cloak seemed to take some of the damage. Nikolai is heavily wounded, and the Dire wolf seems to be quite fit still. Nikolai desperately charges at the Dire Wolf, hoping to end the fight. He slashes open the side of the Dire Wolf with one claw, and sinks his claw deep into the Dire wolf. It stops moving, and has fallen. As the Arena Presentator declares Nikolai the winner, he succumbs to his wounds, and is carried away by the medical team of the Arena.
Nikolai was heavily wounded. He needs to rest or start the next battle at half health. Your choice here.
Sanya takes some distance from the wolves, and fires her first Flamethrower at the wolves. They are both charred, but make it to Sanya. Both of them bite her at her arms, holding them down. Sanya then does something no one would expect. She fires her flamethrower at both of the wolves, twirling around while the wolves are latched onto her arms. Both wolves are incinerated, and the crowd goes wild at the sight of such an unusual sorceress!
Tsuchigumo, you've gained 50 gold from the Dire Wolf and 75 from the wolves. (You've killed them with a crit, which usually means bonus gold.)
Ishtar stood in the arena, calm as usual. He held his sword with two hands, and saw the tigers coming in. He stood ready for them, as the tried to jump on him, using their weight to try and bring him down. Tiger one slashes his claws unto Ishtar, but the Hydra leather armor proved that it was worth in gold, as it held off the attack. Ishtar stabbed at one of the tigers, leaving a deep gash on it's side. The other tiger sees it's chance and slashes onto Ishtar. Ishtar dodges, but the tiger seems as agile as Ishtar is, and manages to slash him, leaving a deep wound in his back. Ishtar hacks at the same tiger he wounded before, leaving another wound on it's side. Ishtar strikes again, seeing his opponent wounded, and finishes off the first tiger. The other tiger slashes again, but Ishtar is prepared, and jumps aside. Ishtar slashes again at the tiger, who jumps over the sword, and sinks his claws into Ishtar's torso. While the Hydraleather armor protects at least a bit, the claws mostly go through. Ishtar is barely alive at this point, and the Presentator asks the participant if he wants to take the money, or fight on.
Ishtar chooses to fight on, to the amusement of the crowd, who had gone cheering louder than before! A man, taking on two tigers? That was unseen! Ishtar slices at the tiger, giving it a wound which it wouldn't forget. The tiger slashes again at Ishtar, but is distracted by the wound, and misses. Ishtar sees his chance and goes for the execution, but the tiger manages to dodge the deadly sword, which was aimed for the neck, but fails to sink his claws into Ishtar. Ishtar attacks the tiger again, leaving another, this time less lethal wound. The tiger is truly enraged now, and manages to sink his claws into Ishtar one last time, wounding Ishtar. As the Presentator announces Ishtar the winner, Ishtar collapses due to exhaustion and his wounds.
You gain 200 gold, but again, rest one fight or start the next with half HP.
By the way, Ishtar, do you have any freaking clue how lucky you were? I rolled THREE NAT 20's on your dodges and TWO NAT 20's on your attacks... Holy hell, if it wasn't for that, you'd have died.
