Good battle, mipe9. The intro to the battle was making me pretty nervous about it, but that turned out to be pretty one-sided.
I'll sell the two daggers for 5 each, I think. I'll put the skill point into Biting.
With my fifty dorfbucks I purchase a Helmet Snake. Wiki is down, but they do have a pet value of fifty. His name will be Krin.

[elizar]

Pet: Beakdog (50) named Clever Girl (and obviously female)

I see what you did there.

Actually I was strapped on a name, so I went for the obvious one

Because pets rock, and Beakdog is actually the strongest [Petvalue:50] beast:

Name: Copycat
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Pet: Beakdog (50) named Clever Girl (and obviously female)
Equipment: Wooden Bow (10) and 6xCopper bolts(12)
3 dwarfbucks in bank.

Copycat has seen a goblin win the battles with his pet. She wants to win, even though it means 'stealing' a tactic. Screw popularity, she wants to win!

Because you expect a bow to use bolts as ammunition ?

Because I duuuurrrrrr...

Edited. Thanks for the heads-up.

I was using .21, but when I tried to put a helmet snake in (which was in there in .19 at least) the arena, the option didn't come up.  Hopefully it is available in .25

[Naryar]

Helmet snakes are [ARENA_RESTRICTED] so no luck.

And shamefully overpowered as well for this.

[Crazy Cow]

D:
Alright, let the search begin. I refuse to bow down to copying someone else's strategy (no offense meant), so I will scour the raws looking for a suitable pet.

EDIT:
If I am correct, selling the daggers puts my total up to 60 dorfbucks. Unfortunately, not even the creatures from the depths of the planet are immune to mind control.
Fireclaw has adopted Skisk, Arena Warrior!
Shadowclaw has adpted Skisk, Arena Warrior!
Iceclaw has adopted Skisk, Arena Warrior!

EDITEDIT:
Forgot the restrictions of the Copper League. I will buy a pair of copper gauntlets for 44 dorfbucks, and bet 10 dorfbucks that Stiric will win.

[Siquo]

I'll be betting 3 DB on Stiric.

[elizar]

I'm just having fun If I get to continue, I'll try to have one offensive pet since it works, and one damage absorbing, such as a cave blob or something like that.

Well, as long as they're not arena restricted.

[Crazy Cow]

Most of the stranger cave creatures are arena restricted. Only the somewhat real ones, such as cave crocodiles, are available, and they are in the 500-750 dorfbuck range. A bit of a stretch right now.

And what about your free skill point?

[Edit] In addition, the schedule for today is up. See where you are, and prepare appropiately [/Edit]

[Bdthemag]

I'll be betting 3 DB on Stiric.

Looks like I have a fan.

[Naryar]

I did some testing and I think I'm going to get owned 

[Crazy Cow]

I'll put my new point in biting.

EDIT:
I am going to get screwed by Copycat.

[digitCruncher]

You already said that, didn't you? Sorry!

Spoiler: The Battle (click to show/hide)

Stiric had been here before. He knew what he had to do, and how to do it. The last battle was easy, and managed to get through it without a single scratch. The next one was certainly going to be just as easy.

Naryar was less confident. He had seen Stiric in action, knew his moves, and knew his effectiveness in battle. His unconventional battle style had never been tested in battle before ... but he trusted his life on it, and was willing to show the world the powerful martial arts of the two humped camel.



The bell rung once, twice, and on the third ring, the two foes sprinted at each other. Stiric charged, his mouth open, saliva pouring from it. "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!" He screamed, as his mace edged towards Naryar.

But Naryar was quick. Lightly armored, he was easily able to duck out of the way. And for the next 60 seconds, there was silence in the entire arena as both combatants swung thier weapons, missing every time. (Halfway down the first page, the two foes started *running in circles around each other* without even swinging to hit thier enemy for at least 20 seconds!)

And so the longest battle in Blood Throne History had started.



The battle FINALLY over, Stiric dropped his mace, and nursed his sore right hand. It was over, and Stiric had won his second battle. It was a tough battle, but he was now in the Bronze League

Stiric recieved 25 dwarf bucks, 2 large two-humped camel leather high boots, a large copper mail shirt, a large copper cap, and 1 two-humped camel bone bolt

Spoiler: Discussion (click to show/hide)

OK, Stiric, get ready again! You are now in the bronze league! Pick another skill to put a skill point in, and spend your dwarf bucks. Yet again, you can't wear these odd-sized clothes, but you can trade them up for a larger size. If you do, then you get 50% of your money back! If you just want to sell them outright, then you only get 25% sorry.

We will miss Naryar's unconventional weaponry . Feel free to make another character when ready!

Skisk and Ace McSpade: Enjoy your winnings.

Finally, if you don't like the characterization of YOUR character in the opening and closing narration, please just send me a PM with suggestions, or even a full intro / outro piece!

"Aye that battle did last a long time, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to drink a keg of dwarven ale before the battle."

Holy shit that was an epic battle, I finished him off with a punch to the head.

[Naryar]

OK, I sucked. Really. Next character...

Name: Naryar v2
Race: Dwarf
Sex: Male
Skills: Speardwarf 5, Dodger 4, Armor User 1
Equipment: Copper spear, Copper mail shirt
Bio: A run-of-the-mill speardwarf in a run-of-the-mill fortress suddenly decided to change it's destiny. Rather than spending weeks dodging or blocking *ashen training spears*, he decided that fortress life was too boring, and therefore left the fortress he was in, seeking adventure.
He fell on the Blood Throne tournament, and felt this was the life he wanted... Fighting, money, and excitement !

[Crazy Cow]

That was easily an epic battle. At 25 dorfbucks, I shall buy a fox named Beak Dog and hope for the best honey badger and name him AARRGH A SNAKE!.
