The Phoenix Opening: Round 1Match 7: ToonyMan Dwellingmirrors vs. Damug “The Berserker” WoundduneRith: Match 7 of The Phoenix Opening is being prepared and what a match-up it’s going to be. Two dwarves, nearly
identical setups with only slight differences in weapon and chain mail. Either dwarf could take this one.
Stakud: This is the kind of match-up you might get in the quarter-finals so this is a real treat for a round one and our audience. I really think that both of these dwarves could do well in the next round but there are only do many spots and one of them needs to go. Will it be this dwarf? Entering the arena from the western doorway is ToonyMan Dwellingmirrors!
Rith: Two dwarves have moved on with fabulous displays of brutality using the war hammer and will be the weapon of choice for ToonyMan here tonight. Though considered to be on the heavy armour side of things Toonyman still has plenty of maneuverability and shouldn’t slow him down.
Stakud: And here comes ToonyMan’s opponent, wielding a battle axe that would send shivers down the spine of an elephant, provided the elephant was alone and had crippled legs, it’s Damug “The Berserker” Wounddune!
Rith: Hmm... Damug seems to be slowed down a bit considering he has the same basic equipment as ToonyMan.
Stakud: I think it might be the battle axe, I hear tell that they are quite heavy compared to other weapons.
Rith: You learn something new everyday. Anyways, Damug has pretty much the same setup as Toonyman, only he was able to afford as slightly better chain mail in exchange for a cheaper weapon. Though they vastly differ in price, their overall efficiency as instruments of death aren’t that different. Some might say Damug’s axe is even better.
Stakud: I guess it pays to be market savvy. Whether this will play into the fight we will see, though I’m still not ready to make a prediction.
Rith: Neither am I, I think both dwarves are going to have to give it that extra effort if they’re to come out on top. The signal has been given and this match is underway!
Stakud: There they go, charging headlong at each other. And its ToonyMan with the first attack bug Damug evades it; they collide into each other and go tumbling to the ground together!
Rith: Getting up they are circling each other, waiting for the other to make the first move. There goes Damug with a slash of his axe to ToonyMan’s chest! That chain mail didn’t do much good as I can see it did some damage, but ToonyMan ignores the pain and blocks the second swing! ToonyMan takes aim but misses, Damug takes advantage of ToonyMan being off balance and gets in a slash to his left thigh, it doesn’t look too bad.
Stakud: Damug with a crazed look on his faces swings his axe wildly but ToonyMan gets his shield up in time! But look! With a well-aimed swing of his war hammer ToonyMan catches Damug in the hand and Damug has lost his axe!
Rith: That hand looks bad, but Damug isn’t giving up and is blocking all attacks by ToonyMan. What the, Damug, with his weapon lost has resorted to using his shield as a blunt club! While simultaneously blocking ToonyMan’s attack Damug is bashing him with his shield!
Stakud: That’s one way to use it, but these attacks seem to be more of an annoyance to ToonyMan. Damug has no way to effectively fight back but is still perfectly capable of defending himself.
Rith: ToonyMan, getting fed up with this is giving it all he’s got to get past that shield. He’s trying, but Damug isn’t letting him through. ToonyMan is going to need to try something else. That might work! Knowing that Damug can’t fight back Toonyman charges head first with no regard for his own safety and they both topple over.
Stakud: Ah ha! With Damug unable to successfully defend himself on the ground ToonyMan is going to work the only way one can with a war hammer, crushing limbs and crushing more limbs. Damug is completely helpless as ToonyMan hammers away. OH! With a devastating blow to Damug’s mid section his insides become his outsides and this is over.
Rith: ToonyMan is the victor here in match 7 and will move on to the quarter-finals. What a match! I think this is the closest fight we’ve ever had with ToonyMan being the first winner to take injuries. They aren’t severe enough that he needs to use the Phoenix Chamber but he will definitely need to rest up after that.
Stakud: I thought Damug had it when he got that slash to the chest of Toonyman but he fought back and got in that momentum changing hit to Damug’s hand.
Rith: You have to give credit to Damug as he didn’t let that stop him and went on to fight without a weapon for most of this match-up. I see good things for him but not in this tournament, ToonyMan is the winner and will move on to fight the winner of our next match. If you thought that this was a good match-up, wait until you see what we have coming up. The similarities in equipment are all too the same as Remalle takes on Rysith!

*Wears earplugs for when ToonyMan replies*
I knew this would be a good fight. You’ll notice they both gained an attribute during the fight, strength in both. Though I can use DC to take away any levels they might have, their experience gained is unaffected and many dwarves are starting with up to and around 1500xp. Dwarves who didn’t gain as much xp as that dwarves in this fight are around 200-400 from an attribute. Some however started as peasants who had no xp whatsoever, to try and make things even I’ll give them an attribute at random once they gain around 300-400 xp.
