Werewolves have kind of gotten a bad name in these tournaments... I think this fight will vindicate them.

Exhibition Match 5 - Losers' Bracket, First Half - Feeding Time!

Team 1 - Madjax, Goblin (Madjax) and The Grey Fiend, Werewolf (MetalSlimeHunt)
Team 2 - Special K, Kobold (Prepaid Lenin) and Tiny, Minotaur, (Calrogman)
Team 3 - SLEDGE!!, Human (Areku) and Hawkeyed Prick, Elf (Yugi24862)
Team 4 - The Horned Axe, Minotaur (Dariush) and Paralyzer, Snakeman (Wyrms)

As the match begins, someone in the crowd yells out "Aim low!"  This is met with tumultuous laughter, but all of the fighters keep it in mind as they begin.

Hawkeyed Prick the elf archer begins by firing a shot at the unprotected leg of the Tiny.  It catches him just as his foot lands, causing the leg to fold up and sending the minotaur incapacitated to the arena floor.  On the other side of the area, Paralyzer slithers up on Madjax and bites his left food, venom instantly rendering the goblin harmless.  The serpent man wraps himself around Madjax and begins to soften up the body.

SLEDGE!! and Special K both rush forward to defend their partners.  The human drops his hammer at the kobold, but it sparks off the berserker's axe.  Special K misses bisecting SLEDGE, but the axe instead buries into his tibia.  SLEDGE makes a bid to disarm the kobold, but Special K simply ignores it and finishes chopping away the leg.

Unable to shoot around his partner, Hawkeye scans the battlefield and notices The Horned Axe rushing into the melee.  The elf manages to peg him with an arrow, but The Horned Axe simply holds out his massive axe and charges right through the combatants. SLEDGE and Special K stop their fighting, looking stunned for a long moment before their bodies fall apart.  Hawkeyed Prick, panicked at this sudden and total domination, begins to fire wildly at The Horned Axe.  A lucky arrow lodges in his gut before the elf can be similarly hacked down, weakening the minotaur.  Both fail to notice a slinking The Grey Fiend coming up to the unconscious Tiny.  The bite of a werewolf wakes the minotaur up, but he is too weak to resist.

The arena has devolved into three one-sided fights; Paralyzer slowly dissolving Madjax in the northwest, The Grey Fiend ripping apart an injured Tiny in the east, and The Horned Axe trying to stop vomiting long enough to get a hit on the wildly firing Hawkeyed Prick.  The crowd screams at the combatants as they slowly tear into eachother.

Madjax is the first to fall and Paralyzer goes over to Tiny to join on the feeding.  The Grey Fiend is angered at the snakeman venom ruining his snack and grapples Paralyzer away.  The snakeman hisses, but the larger werewolf snaps his massive jaws around the snakeman's snout, shaking until the head is torn away.  Grey spits it out, pausing long enough to slash open Tiny's femoral artery and finally allowing him to die.

Still hungry for minotaur, he goes to savage a blood and vomit streaked Horned Axe.  Hawkeye takes exception to this and tries to disable the werewolf with a hit to the leg, but this time it fails.  Snarling, the werewolf leaps atop the elf.

The wolf first seeks to disable his opponent, chewing on the elf's left arm until the nerveless fingers drop the bow. Grinning broadly, The Grey Fiend leaned closer. Fetid, bloody breath filled Hawkeye;s nostrils and a warm tongue laps softly against his cheeks, until the hard teeth dug into his skull.

Winner - Team 1, The Eater and the Eaten!

I did get 4th in the last tournament with a werewolf, so it hasn't been that bad.

Oh well, best of luck to the other one. :/

I think that's pretty much everyone? I'll PM anyone who hasn't yet posted their skill choices.

EDIT: Hmmm, Acanthus and Kilakan don't seem to have posted any.

I like it.  Looks like I'll be handling defense while you handle offense.

Your next opponents are the pretty-well balanced Melvin and Ravus, so it should be an interesting match..
