Match 28

Duriel versus Strange Wolf
Managed by Duriel and Strange Guy

Duriel, looking ahead to the next round or perhaps so confident in his superiority over his opponent, decides not to make any purchases this round. Strange Wolf trades in his bronze sword for a steel one and improves his fighting skills as well.
Duriel attacks Strange Wolf first, but the creature is surprising agile for its size and jumps easily out of the way. Strange Wolf charges at the human, who appears to be somewhat taken aback at his enemy's abilities, and hits him hard. Duriel is launched a few feet backwards his shield and whip flying east and west and his helm straight up in the air. Strange Wolf sees his enemy's weakness and strikes down hard with his sword towards its head. The steel sword hits diagonally along Duriel's neck and cuts clean through. The human's head drops hits the Arena floor with a thud, signaling Strange Wolf's victory.



Strange Wolf is victorious, and advances to the next round!

Sorry about that. Though it probably would have been better if you hadn't posted that you didn't want to buy anything this round. ;)

Still waiting on mipe9 to post his purchases.

I think NoQuarter's purchase of a shield and some skill will probably serve him well here, but if I'm lucky I'll advance.

Upgrades:
Crossbow skill from Great (11) to Master (12) = 60
Dodge from Competent (3) to Talented (6) = 20+25+30=75
Bronze Breastplate = 2*20=40
leather cap = 0.5 * 10 = 5
leather cap = 0.5 * 10 = 5
Bronze Gauntlets = 2 * 8 = 16
Talented Armor User (6) = 42

60+75+40+5+5+16+42= 243

I had 240 points + (9 left over * 2) = 258 to spend

258-243 = 15 left over

From the wiki it looks like I can wear two caps and my current bronze helmet.
It also looks like I can wear two sets of gauntlets my old copper ones + the new bronze ones.
And it looks like I can wear the Bronze Breastplate over the Bronze mail shirt.

Please let me know if any of this is wrong.

It isn't entirely clear from the wiki if armor user will help me attack faster or only move faster... 'movement' seems like it includes taking actions, but I am not 100% sure and I haven't had time to run some tests to see.


Doesn't look like you can wear two pairs of Gauntlets, let me know what you want to change it too. I'll go ahead and play Match 30 first.

Match 29

Pisano versus NoQuarter
Managed by Pisano and Topace3k

Pisano has some experience taking down Minotaurs - he took down Gutstabber without too much trouble last round. NoQuarter knows he just needs to make it accross the ring and the fight will be all but his - to that end he bought a shield and trained hard in its use.
Pisano's first arrow misses wide right - a good sign for the Minotaur. Now half way across the field, he has high hopes. But Pisano's next shot is on target - hitting the Minotaur in the chest through his mail shirt. Just like Gutstabber before him, NoQuarter can't handle pain very well. He faints almost immediately. And that's pretty much the fight, Pisano can fire away and NoQuarter can't respond. He does regain conciousness briefly, but a shot to the lung sends him back to the dream world just as quickly. It takes about ten more shots before a bolt strikes him in the head. Pisano is a finalist, and NoQuarter will have a shot at lesser glory in the 3rd place match.

Pisano is victorious, and advances to the next round!

Match 30

Dancing Dagger versus Strange Wolf
Managed by mipe9 and Strange Guy

Both Dancing Dagger and Strange Wolf trained up their skills between rounds: niether made any equipment purchases. Dancing Dagger is very confident going into the match: he has never been hit before, and he has had particularly good success againt werewolves. Strange Wolf knows he has one important advantage over his opponent: his size. If he can use it to neutralize the Kobold's dodging skills he could very well win the match.
Strange Wolf tries to knock over the Kobald immediately: He charges at him and catches him off guard! Dancing Dagger is knocked over! Strange Wolf acts fast and cuts at the Kobold's leg, in hopes of disabling the creature permanently. His sword finds its mark and the Kobold's foot is severed!
However, Dancing Dagger is still armed with his deadly blade and strikes back quickly. He stabs Strange Wolf in the leg, penetrating all the way to the bone. Strange Wolf continues to attack, but all of his shots are parried.
Dancing Dagger soon gains the upper hand, and begins mincing up the Werewolf's limbs. He cuts of both legs, a tooth, and his left hand, along with various stabs. The werewolf grows pale and the strength leaves his body. He quickly succombs to blood loss and dies: but no one has yet given the fiesty Kobold such a challenge, and he will move on the the 3rd place match.

Dancing Dagger is victorious, and advances to the next round!

I sent in a PM reply that since I can't wear two sets of gauntlets sell the copper and either buy steel instead of bronze, if I have the points, or just wear the bronze.  Apologies for not doing the math and congrats to DD.
