The doors to the North and South of the Arena open.
PrinnyBaal appears in his starting circle with a flash and raises his sword. Sweeping it around him you see purple runes appear on the ground throughout the arena. With a grinding sound shiny pillars of silvery metal rise up out of the arena floor.
From the North comes RedWarrior0. His deep red robes billowing out around him as he strides purposefully to his starting circle. He brandishes his staff, and a bright cyan light flares from the tip. Soon sharp spears of obsidian float in the air around him.
At the signal from the Marshal PrinnyBaal makes a slashing motion with his sword and steps behind one of the metal pillars. RedWarrior0 turns and thrusts his staff at a shambling mound of dirt that rises up next to him, exploding it in a cloud of dust. He then motions at the pillar that PrinnyBaal is hiding behind and it suddenly sprouts thousands of metal spikes all along it's length.
The purple mage steps back quickly from the metal spikes and vanishes from sight. RedWarrior0 explodes another shambling form and winches as shards of rock explode in his face. Looking around, he slams his staff on the ground. All of the metal pillars suddenly sprout spikes, and you see PrinnyBaal stagger away from one, his arm slashed and bleeding.
The cyan wizard stabs with his staff, but when the spear of rock strikes the purple wizard he vanishes in a wavering of light. You catch sight of the purple wizard darting from around another pillar. His blade slashes along the length of RedWarrior0's back, and the cyan mage staggers forward. Turning, he slams his staff into Prinny's stomach. As the purple mage doubles over he guestures with his hand and an explosion of rock sends PrinnyBaal staggering backwards. He then spins around and explodes yet another shambling mound that rises up next to him.
The arena is suddenly filled with screeching sound of bending metal as PrinnyBaal raises his hand to the sky. The metal pillars fold in and collapse around RedWarrior0. The cyan mage's runes hold for a moment, and then shatter with an explosion of blue light. After a few minutes of silence the Marshal calls the duel over and sends a team in to excavate the entombed mage.
PrinnyBaal bows to the crowd and vanishes with a shimmer of purple light.
As the crowd applaudes, you suddenly hear screaming from nearby. Looking over, you see Leafsnail running around batting at his hat while blood flows down his face. You're startled to see that his hat is trying to eat his head, while the word Wizzard flashes red and yellow on his hat. After a few moments the security detail catches up to him and manages to disenchant the hat, which falls to the ground. The Healers take Leafsnail off to the Healing Ward for treatment while security carefully takes the hat off for study.
Looking up at the Floating Announcement Board you see:
RedWarrior0, War Mage of Water has lost a duel and is removed from the Tournament!
Leafsnail, Guardian of Fire has been attacked by a rogue hat and is removed from the Tournament!
