The Phoenix Opening: Quarterfinals, Match 12
ToonyMan Dwellingmirrors
vs.
Rysith Sunnytorch
Rith: Here we are, the last of the quarterfinal match-ups. It’s been a long ride but the dream ends for one of these two brave warriors, at least for now. For the winner, the journey continues.
Stakud: So far we’ve had a swordsdwarf, an axedwarf and a hammerdwarf move on to the semifinals. I like that the semifinals are so diversified and no single weapon has dominated this tournament, but we’re about to double it up here tonight with this match-up in adding another hammerdwarf or another swordsdwarf. Both have proven to be dangerous killing tools in their own rights, but do you think that weapon type will prove a deciding factor here?
Rith: It’s more about how you use it then what you use, I believe skill and determination will play the deciding factor in a match like this. The similarities between these two dwarves and their setup are too many to count.
Stakud: Fair enough, and with that here comes the first competitor in this 12th match-up. A 1st Degree Hammerdwarf, it’s ToonyMan Dwellingmirrors!
Stakud: ToonyMan fought a very defiant Damug in round one who made great use of his shield after being disarmed by ToonyMan. ToonyMan defeated him but not before taking some minor injuries. He was the only winner of round one to take injuries wasn’t he? He’s got to be more careful this time around because if you get caught like that, you’re not likely to get a second chance unless your name is Nichaey. ToonyMan’s opponent is a 1st Degree Swordsdwarf and a very technical fighter, it’s Rysith Sunnytorch!
Rith: In Round One we saw Rysith face off against Remalle in a battle that would spill much blood, all of it Remalle’s.
Stakud: It was like watching some gory, bloody ballet with Rysith disarming his opponent with ease. Rysith definitely has some skill, but looking at what Vulcar can do with a war hammer against a precision weapon, I’m at odds at who will win this.
Rith: I think both of the have the capabilities to win this, so I’ll repeat what I said before in that the one with the most determination will win. Oh, it looks like we’ve begun; ToonyMan is off to a running start. He’s yelling some kind of war cry, I can’t make it out. ToonyMan takes a big swing but with the agility of a… thing that is really agile, Rysith jumps out of the way. Rysith charges and attacks but it’s blocked, it looked like he tried to knock ToonyMan off his feet but bounced right off him. ToonyMan is laughing manically as he tries for another attack but it’s blocked. These two dwarves look pretty evenly match right now.
Stakud: Do I cheer for ToonyMan to SMASH or for Rysith to send some limbs airborne? I don’t know!
Rith: Rysith tries for another charge and this time he succeeds, ToonyMan is sprawled out on the ground and scrambling to get up, but not before Rysith gets in a devastating slash to his lower body. That chain mail did little to protect him as he takes a short flight before landing in a pool of blood. Whether that’s his blood or blood from a previous match I can’t tell. Regardless ToonyMan is seriously hurt and bowed over in pain. That may have been the deciding hit in this match-up.
Stakud: Rysith is looking really good in this fight, is it just me or does he look faster?
Rith: I noticed that, maybe this training is paying off. Rysith approaches a wounded ToonyMan and delivers another savage blow to the body. I think ToonyMan has had just about all he can take and looks to have passed out, but that doesn’t stop Rysith as he continues this brutal assault. OH, with a vicious strike to the head ToonyMan is airborne once more. The crowd seems to be love it has they cheer him on. Rysith acknowledges the cheering fans to their satisfaction and points to the upper levels. What is he doing?
Stakud: I think I know what he’s doing, I knew I brought my catchers mitt for a reason!
Rith: Rysith winds up for a slash, and ToonyMan’s arm is sent flying! Holy, look at that thing go! The arm has cleared the arena wall and went somewhere overhead.
Stakud: I think that sucker went up to the third level! Wow, what a dismemberment!
Rith: The crowd is going insane after that display of impressive yet disturbing swordsdwarfship, but we have a match going on and Rysith still needs to finish off ToonyMan. Rysith returns to hacking and slashing at his unconscious body. With one final swing to the upper body ToonyMan is sent soaring through the air, again, before falling into a pool of his own blood and vomit. The crowd roars to life once more as Rysith defeats ToonyMan to takes the fourth spot in the semifinals, there he will face Vulcar for a chance to fight for the championship against the winner of Fireheart vs. Nichaey. What a day this has been with comebacks, savage beatings and whatever crazy thing that just happened here. It will only get better next round as we give you play by play accounts of the last two matches before the championship bout. It’s the Semifinals of The Phoenix Opening, don’t miss it.

That arm probably would have kept going if there were a higher level. That was on the 5th z-level where the arm landed. Now to hit one into a skybox or out of the Amphitheater altogether
Your coffers will be updated with your winnings and should you like to change anything for the semi’s let me know.
Note that the last remaining quarterfinal dwarf in that Warrior Lounge brawl hasn't been revealed. He/she has moved on to the Semifinals.
