johnathan: Okay, so we'll be in the entertainment district...probably mozying about I guess.
johnathan: Alrighty
johnathan: "So, the arenas give you unpleasant feelings or something? Just bad memories and the such...?"
Misfit KotLD: "bad memories. if fought and bled for money to free trisha while they screamed in excitement at my pain"
johnathan: *grimaces* "Sounds grand...I did stuff like this in my academy days, but it was more just for fun...and to piss off the CO's. We all cheered and such and placed bets on who would win but I can see how your experience might be a little different. I wasn't worried about dying..."
Misfit KotLD: "i rarely worried about that in the arena, they didnt like risking their big draws against me and i handled most everything else fairly well"
johnathan: "So, people were worried they would lose their investments against you...? Sounds troublesome but you seem to have had the situation fairly under control, no?"
Misfit KotLD: "but i still bled for the cheering crowd, and hated every minute of it. i also ran in squishy juicer sports for money"
johnathan: "Squishy juicer sports...? Please don't tell me you were up against juicers..."
Misfit KotLD: "no, all non juicers"
johnathan: "K, good. If that was the case I would be amazed that you were still alive."
Misfit KotLD: "im almost as quick as many juicers, i just couldnt take the hits they could. nor was i so twitchy"
johnathan: "Not many people are THAT twitchy, unless they're crazy...But wouldn't this be different? Here people would cheer you on, it would be exciting, but they wouldn't be cheering out of your pain, it would just be because it was a good fight? I doubt they want to see anyone die here, ya know?"
Misfit KotLD: "you sure? theres a lot of vikings here..."
johnathan: "You could take a viking, couldn't ya? Besides, THEY are the ones who would be glad to die in battle...I don't think it quite works the other way around in this case. Since you aren't really an enemy to be slaughtered..."
johnathan: "And besides, you'd be fighting me..."
Misfit KotLD: "they love violent contests though, but if you insist..."
johnathan: *play punch to the shoulder* "You're tough ol hombre...besides, wounds heal and chicks dig scars..." *grin*
Misfit KotLD: "i dont scar"
johnathan: *taps face* "I thought that too at one point."
Misfit KotLD: "ok, im very dificult to scar"
johnathan: "Fair enough, besides I don't think I'll bang on you that hard..."
Misfit KotLD: "so, what rules?"
johnathan: "No hitting below the belt, I don't think either of our families would be very happy about that."
johnathan: "Your wives would probably tear me a new one."
Misfit KotLD: "yes they would. any armor and what ends the fight?"
johnathan: "The fight ends when either one of us is down for 10, out cold or says 'uncle'...that sound fair?"
johnathan: "And armor...do you really want to find out?"
Misfit KotLD: "i dont want to need a new set because you trashed the one i have"
johnathan: "So we go bare then. You particular on weapons or would it just be our fists?"
Misfit KotLD: "fist on fist this fightll be very short"
johnathan: *looks taken aback* "C'mon, I'm not THAT strong..."
Misfit KotLD: "compared to what? my new body can take a couple hits from you, but not many"
johnathan: "Oh, compared Th-er...I see your point. Okay, so what weapons?"
Misfit KotLD: "guns wouldnt be fair, and i only use swords and knives otherwise"
johnathan: "I only have my own sword then."
johnathan: "So, with that agreed upon..."
johnathan: "Striking to kill is obviously out of the question."
Misfit KotLD: "im not strong enough to punch through your thick skull in fewer than a dozen swings" *grins*
johnathan: *knocks on head* "Yeah, it's pretty thick...I hear it's hallow too, can you imagine that?"
Misfit KotLD: "so, a certain number of hits?"
johnathan: *Raises eyebrow* "We're going to limit how many hits we get?"
Misfit KotLD: "many duels were settled by first blood"
johnathan: "I see. So who ever bleeds the first is the loser?"
Misfit KotLD: "three hits, or uncle sound fair?"
johnathan: "That sounds fair, though I think my chances of winning to decreased slightly..."
Misfit KotLD: *shrugs* "not if you hit first. im not ecplaining to trisha why i let you cut me in half"
johnathan: "Trust me...if I cut you half, I won't have to explain to Trisha...they'll all just beat me senseless. I doubt I would get a word in besides "Ouch" or "Stop!"
Misfit KotLD: "so third blood or uncle it is, no armor as well"
johnathan: *nods* "Right. Now...anything else we need to cover rules wise?"
Misfit KotLD: "a clean fight obviously"
johnathan: "Please, I don't fight dirty unless I have to..."
Misfit KotLD: "i dont normally face friends, so i usually feel free to use any dirty trick i can"
johnathan: "Okay, Mig, but remember if I catch you biting me I'm going to tell your wives..."
johnathan: "And inform a dentist that you'll need new teeth..."
Misfit KotLD: *nods* "sounds fair"
johnathan: "Okay, so let's sign up and see what happens..." *smiles*
johnathan: *goes ahead and signs us up*
Misfit KotLD: *does the same*
johnathan: I guess we pay an entrance fee, sign a waiver or whatever, yadda yadda
Misfit KotLD: yeah
johnathan: and then it's our turn
johnathan: *shows up without his shirt and jacket and sword in hand* "This is so you can actually see when I bleed..." *grins*
Misfit KotLD: *does the same, xania drawn* (who is pictured on the site now)
johnathan: *nods*
Misfit KotLD: n20 init...
johnathan: 8+3 = 11
Misfit KotLD: sorry dude...n20 str (i picked the right d20 tonight, until my parry is a 1)
johnathan: (Geeze...so the only way I can parry/dodge is a nat20...)
Misfit KotLD: (yeah)
johnathan: and I role a 3
Misfit KotLD: 30*2=60 mdc
Misfit KotLD: "dont jump onto xania..."
johnathan: *steads up with a bloody slash across the chest* "Argh...damn!"
johnathan: "Rebound!"
johnathan: 17+14 = 31 str...
johnathan: (I had to grab 3 different books to figure that all out...)
Misfit KotLD: 13+16 parry "and a fast return"
Misfit KotLD: 13+14 str
Misfit KotLD: (after damage anyway)
johnathan: (Aye)
johnathan: 60+27 damage
Misfit KotLD: (+27?)
johnathan: (regular strike damage for john is 6d6)
Misfit KotLD: (ah, so 1d4*10+6d6?)
johnathan: (2d4*10+6d6)
johnathan: (Power strike from him would be 4d4*10, so watch out...)
johnathan: 15+14 to parry
Misfit KotLD: "you so sure about my victory?"
Misfit KotLD: *has a HUGE gash in his side*
johnathan: *stands back a bit* "Wow..." *dispels sword*
johnathan: "I don't think I want to use that anymore..."
Misfit KotLD: "told you. i cant take the hits you can dish out. nor are you any slower with a blade"
johnathan: *gets in a good stance* "That doesn't mean we have to stop though, I'll just give you a bit more of a handicap..."
johnathan: "You can still call uncle..."
Misfit KotLD: *chuckles* "unarmed against a sword?"
johnathan: "Mig, I wasn't even giving it my all on that one, that was just to get you away. Besides, this helps your case, all I can do is get out of your way..."
Misfit KotLD: *chuckles and turns to the audience* "anyone have a non-enchanted blade my foe can borrow?"
johnathan: *looks up*
johnathan: (I bet about two dozen blades come flying into the ring...)
Misfit KotLD: (probably)
johnathan: *watches as an assort of different blades get tossed into the ring* "Uh..."
Misfit KotLD: "well, take one. we did say fair fight"
johnathan: "I guess..." .o0(too small, too big...too unsanitary...Just right!) *grabs a large longsword* "This'll do..."
Misfit KotLD: *nods* (we paused, new init?)
johnathan: (sure, we'll count it as a new round of combat)
johnathan: 19+3
Misfit KotLD: 2...
Misfit KotLD: +8
johnathan: (Ouch...)
johnathan: (thank goodness for high int bonuses...)
johnathan: "Here we go!" 10+13 to str
Misfit KotLD: 17+16 parry
Misfit KotLD: "indeed" *parries and comes back around*
Misfit KotLD: 5...+14
johnathan: hehe
johnathan: 3+17 to parry "This does seem a little more even..."
Misfit KotLD: "yeah, and safer..."
johnathan: 14+10 str "Though, I worry about how long this blade will last..."
Misfit KotLD: 12+16 parry
Misfit KotLD: 16+14 str
johnathan: 15+17 parry
johnathan: "Our wounds will heal at this rate..."
johnathan: (In fact, I think part of mine probably already has...)
Misfit KotLD: "which is good, though the hits still count"
Misfit KotLD: 14+14 parry
johnathan: (dangit I screwed up somewhere, hold on...)
johnathan: (that previous 14+10 was suppose to be 14+13, but oh well...I forgot to add in W.P. bonus)
johnathan: 3+13 str
Misfit KotLD: wait, that was a strike on my part...
johnathan: (and confusion abounds...)
Misfit KotLD: yeah. i hit didnt i?
johnathan: well to parry it would've 3+17 then
johnathan: so yes
Misfit KotLD: (wasnt it +16 before? d-=
Misfit KotLD: 32 mdc
johnathan: (I have a natural +14 to parry/dodge, with a +3 from W.P to parry, then I have a +10 to str with the +3 still...it gets horribly confusing after a while)
Misfit KotLD: 9yes it does)
johnathan: *wince* "Heeeeey...that actually kinda stings..." 17+13 str
Misfit KotLD: 19+16 parry
johnathan: (and then the cosmic weapon provides it's own bonuses to strike and parry)
Misfit KotLD: "i should hope so"
Misfit KotLD: 13+14 str
johnathan: 13+17 parry
johnathan: "Don't get cocky big guy..." 13+13 str
Misfit KotLD: 9+16 parry "never..."
johnathan: (I think it's your turn to strike)
Misfit KotLD: (you hit though)
Misfit KotLD: "were even again"
johnathan: (OH)
johnathan: 19 damage
johnathan: (actually, are we going to assume the sword is MDC?)
johnathan: (if it's SDC I've just broken it...)
Misfit KotLD: (more than likely. probably vibro)
johnathan: (so...4d6 is a giant vibro right?)
Misfit KotLD: (3 unless its giant robo sized. this is probably a two hander)
johnathan: (Okay 3d6 and since it's not my weapon I don't add my attack power to it so...) 12 damage
Misfit KotLD: (so 31?)
Misfit KotLD: 15+14 str
johnathan: 17+17 parry "Yeah, one more hit and you're done..."
johnathan: 6+13 str
Misfit KotLD: "same to you sir"
Misfit KotLD: 4+16 parry
Misfit KotLD: 10+14 str
johnathan: 10+17 parry
johnathan: 15+13 str
johnathan: (and that was my last attack for this melee round)
Misfit KotLD: 6+16 parry
Misfit KotLD: "and the fight is yours"
johnathan: *flexes with a grin*
Misfit KotLD: "give me ten minutes to rest and we can go unarmed"
johnathan: *looks at the large sword* "Er...who's is this...?" *looks up*
johnathan: *hears someone yell it his* "Um...screw it, you can get it later, I'm not throwing this to you."
Misfit KotLD: "let the maintenance crew sort this out. i need a clean pair of pants and boots. these are soaked through with my blood"
johnathan: "Well, let's get outta here so someone else can duke it out..." *drops the sword* "You can heal up then."
johnathan: *gives you an arm*
Misfit KotLD: "im not that bad, but damn does this hurt..."
johnathan: "Yeah uh...sorry about that. I should've warned you I guess, I can cleave a light power armor in half with that thing..."
Misfit KotLD: "i already knew that, and im not as tough as a power armor"
johnathan: *leaves the arena to cheers* "I guess they liked it..."
johnathan: "Do you feel okay?"
Misfit KotLD: "do i look like i feel ok?" *shrugs* 'give me a few minutes, itll heal"
Misfit KotLD: *heals at 1d4*10 per minute*
johnathan: *does the same* "I mean like...are you okay with all this? Not having any bad flashbacks or anything?"
Misfit KotLD: "a little...but at least i knew you werent honestly trying to kill me...for which im very glad"
johnathan: "Understandably so...besides I doubt we'll ever get to that point. And they didn't seem upset that nobody died..."
Misfit KotLD: "yeah, which was a plus. im still not sure which of us is better with a sword though"
johnathan: "Yeeaah...I'd say we're about half and half. Though, I did teach Joshua and Joshua did teach you, right? Or did Hsieh teach you how to use a blade?"
Misfit KotLD: "joshua taught me, working it into the fighting i learned in juarez. ill show you what hsieh taught me next"
johnathan: *frowns* "I don't like how that sounds...I have this feeling I'm going to be on my back a whole lot."
johnathan: "...and not in a GOOD way."
Misfit KotLD: "im sure your wives will play nurse after"
johnathan: *wry grin* "I bet..."
Misfit KotLD: *grins*
johnathan: "I'm sure yours will be doing the same...that first hit I got in looked like it felt as good as a bullet to the head..."
Misfit KotLD: "i think it hurt worse. most shots to the head result in unconciousness"
johnathan: *nods* "Good point." *looks self over* "Okay, I'm good to go...you need any more time?"
Misfit KotLD: "im fine"
johnathan: "Excellent. Round two then?"
Misfit KotLD: "yeah"
Misfit KotLD: *removes boots, walks out, having doned a silk kung fu outfit in the interim*
johnathan: *goes looking the exact same*
johnathan: "Well now...this will be interesting..."
johnathan: "It's been a long time since I've faught someone in a gi..."
Misfit KotLD: *walks to the center of the sands, bows, then takes a stance*
johnathan: *rolls his shoulders and assumes a stance* "Show me what ya got!"
johnathan: 13+3 int
johnathan: *init
Misfit KotLD: 12+6
johnathan: curses
Misfit KotLD: 11+9 str, fingertip attack
johnathan: 15+14 to parry, "What the..."
johnathan: (hold on...lemme grab mystic china and N&SS)
Misfit KotLD: (damn, john has some ludicrous bonuses)
johnathan: (PP: 27 plus RCC bonuses plus combat bonuses...Cosmo-knights are tough for a reason)
Misfit KotLD: (damn, he is just a smidge slower than mig)
johnathan: (damn.)
Misfit KotLD: (28, bug his martial arts are only 6th level. his hth assassin is 8th)
johnathan: (martial arts level 8 here)
johnathan: 17+10 str
Misfit KotLD: *simul on your left leg, fingertip* 9+9 str
johnathan: 18+14 to dodge and does a backflip
Misfit KotLD: (you cant, i simuled)
johnathan: *gives a weird look*
johnathan: (Doh, that's right.)
johnathan: (what does fingertap do anyway...?)
Misfit KotLD: paralysis in this case. whats the damage?
johnathan: 25
Misfit KotLD: *staggers back, shaking head* "come out and play, john"
johnathan: *tries to move his leg and blinks* "No way..."
Misfit KotLD: 11+9, another paralysis shot, to your arm
johnathan: 16+11 to entangle
johnathan: whatever arm you're striking with
Misfit KotLD: means i paralyzed it too doesnt it?
johnathan: (Uh uh, it means I was able to seize your attacking hand, kinda like in a hold, it says it takes the place of a dodge or parry)
johnathan: (Entangle: a defender can attempt to trap the weapon or arm of an attacker. This is done instead of a parry or dodging, and takes up one attack per melee. An entangle is successful if the defender rolls above the attacker's strike roll. It takes one attack and a roll to entalge to keep an opponent's arm or weapon entangled every melee round. In order to get free, the engtangled opponent must roll a dodge against the entangle roll)
Misfit KotLD: so both your arms are entangling my one?
johnathan: It didn't specify and I'm not sure really.
johnathan: my personal martial arts experience doesn't extend beyond a yellow belt in karate
Misfit KotLD: mine was marine combat training. and some holds needed two, some one
johnathan: I assume it's kind of like me just grabbing hold of your wrist and twisting or something
Misfit KotLD: but using the other hand to hold too?
johnathan: You know what? I say we ask ed, we could debate this until the cows come home and not figure it out.
Misfit KotLD: true. or...
Misfit KotLD: *snaps fingers near your head*
johnathan: (damnit...)
Misfit KotLD: 6 str, it hits
Misfit KotLD: for five melees, all you can do is sit and talk. any movement makes you dizzy
johnathan: unless I'm propped up against something, and even then I got negative modifiers
Misfit KotLD: even propped up, all you can do is talk
johnathan: (let's keep in mind I'm still hold onto you and...) *falls flat on his back*
Misfit KotLD: *paralyzes that arm*
Misfit KotLD: 16+9 str
johnathan: (well...I have a -7 to dodge...but I would have to roll...)
johnathan: (be kind to be oh D20...)
johnathan: 17+9 to roll? (dunno how that would work though, it would probably mean you hit a different part of the body...)
Misfit KotLD: (not sure. in this situation, i about dont see how you could dodge and still hang on)
johnathan: (roll to the side and vomit, which is about the best he could manage right now...)
johnathan: (It won't last 5 minutes obviously...)
Misfit KotLD: (either way, id think you lose the grip on me, just from the disorientation and moving away from me)
johnathan: (Yea)
johnathan: "Oh man..."*shuts eyes* "The room needs to stop..."
Misfit KotLD: "we could play this all day, or you could admit i have a nice bag of tricks" *grins*
johnathan: (and I just read I can't roll with a punch so you'd strike since my dodge roll is a bit lower than my roll w/punch roll)
johnathan: *opens eyes* "Okay...yes, you have a nifty bag of tricks..."
johnathan: "This is worse than zero G training..."
Misfit KotLD: "sit still. itll pass in a few minutes" *fireman carries you off the field*
johnathan: "bleeeeeeh..."
Misfit KotLD: "just sit still john"
johnathan: *does so*
Misfit KotLD: *sits and waits* "im not as fast in these forms as i am with street fighting"
johnathan: "What did you do!?"
johnathan: "All you did was snap your fingers..."
Misfit KotLD: "atemi. the swordfight let me finish learning your chiflow. once i had that, the paralysis and disorientation were simple"
Misfit KotLD: "hitting you was less so. im glad youre on my side"
johnathan: "oye..."
johnathan: *gets up slowly*
Misfit KotLD: "those arent all i am capable of, but i dont like to show more than i already have"
johnathan: "Fair enough...I didn't want to either..."
Misfit KotLD: "you have more melle surprises than 'hulk smash'?"
johnathan: "Not really, I have more suprises, but I just like that one the best..."
johnathan: "If I had flown I bet your little fingersnap-thingy would've been very ineffective..."
Misfit KotLD: "thats not very melee like" *grins*
johnathan: "Nope, but it would've worked..."
johnathan: "I was a goner as soon as you snapped your fingers though...I had no earthly idea you could do that..."
Misfit KotLD: "thats the idea" *grins*
johnathan: "Shoulda hit you harder..."
Misfit KotLD: "probably, but i could take a few more"
johnathan: "I've layed you out before with one hit...I could do it again."
Misfit KotLD: "so have i" *smirks*
Misfit KotLD: "so it was a lucky shot..."
johnathan: "Yeah...my jaw line suffered for it..."
Misfit KotLD: "im sure your wives helped you recover"
johnathan: "My jaw was sore...they were disappointed..."
Misfit KotLD: *laughs* "you have hands, and they both have jaws. i see no real problem"
johnathan: "Touche my foxy friend..."
Misfit KotLD: "just waiting for the hounds"
johnathan: *nods nods* "As always as always..."
johnathan: "So, what's our score now...? We got one for me and one for you today...so the score is 3-2 in your favor?"
Misfit KotLD: "that mean we need a round four sometime? i can fly, but im pretty sure i cant keep up with you"
johnathan: "Yeah..."
johnathan: "I don't think anyone can fly that fast...well, anyone we know..."
Misfit KotLD: "i bet not. so, call it a 2-2 tie?"
johnathan: "Fair with me."
Misfit KotLD: "deal"
Misfit KotLD: "feeling up to walking yet?"
johnathan: *nods*
johnathan: *gets up...slowly*
johnathan: "Oye..."
Misfit KotLD: *chuckles* "then lets get dressed and go see our wives"
johnathan: *nods* "Yeah..." *does so*
johnathan: Alrighty
johnathan: "So, the arenas give you unpleasant feelings or something? Just bad memories and the such...?"
Misfit KotLD: "bad memories. if fought and bled for money to free trisha while they screamed in excitement at my pain"
johnathan: *grimaces* "Sounds grand...I did stuff like this in my academy days, but it was more just for fun...and to piss off the CO's. We all cheered and such and placed bets on who would win but I can see how your experience might be a little different. I wasn't worried about dying..."
Misfit KotLD: "i rarely worried about that in the arena, they didnt like risking their big draws against me and i handled most everything else fairly well"
johnathan: "So, people were worried they would lose their investments against you...? Sounds troublesome but you seem to have had the situation fairly under control, no?"
Misfit KotLD: "but i still bled for the cheering crowd, and hated every minute of it. i also ran in squishy juicer sports for money"
johnathan: "Squishy juicer sports...? Please don't tell me you were up against juicers..."
Misfit KotLD: "no, all non juicers"

johnathan: "And besides, you'd be fighting me..."
Misfit KotLD: "they love violent contests though, but if you insist..."
johnathan: *play punch to the shoulder* "You're tough ol hombre...besides, wounds heal and chicks dig scars..." *grin*
Misfit KotLD: "i dont scar"
johnathan: *taps face* "I thought that too at one point."
Misfit KotLD: "ok, im very dificult to scar"
johnathan: "Fair enough, besides I don't think I'll bang on you that hard..."

johnathan: "Striking to kill is obviously out of the question."
Misfit KotLD: "im not strong enough to punch through your thick skull in fewer than a dozen swings" *grins*
johnathan: *knocks on head* "Yeah, it's pretty thick...I hear it's hallow too, can you imagine that?"
Misfit KotLD: "so, a certain number of hits?"
johnathan: *Raises eyebrow* "We're going to limit how many hits we get?"
Misfit KotLD: "many duels were settled by first blood"

Misfit KotLD: *nods* "sounds fair"
johnathan: "Okay, so let's sign up and see what happens..." *smiles*
johnathan: *goes ahead and signs us up*
Misfit KotLD: *does the same*
johnathan: I guess we pay an entrance fee, sign a waiver or whatever, yadda yadda
Misfit KotLD: yeah
johnathan: and then it's our turn
johnathan: *shows up without his shirt and jacket and sword in hand* "This is so you can actually see when I bleed..." *grins*

Misfit KotLD: "you so sure about my victory?"
Misfit KotLD: *has a HUGE gash in his side*
johnathan: *stands back a bit* "Wow..." *dispels sword*
johnathan: "I don't think I want to use that anymore..."
Misfit KotLD: "told you. i cant take the hits you can dish out. nor are you any slower with a blade"
johnathan: *gets in a good stance* "That doesn't mean we have to stop though, I'll just give you a bit more of a handicap..."
johnathan: "You can still call uncle..."
Misfit KotLD: *chuckles* "unarmed against a sword?"
johnathan: "Mig, I wasn't even giving it my all on that one, that was just to get you away. Besides, this helps your case, all I can do is get out of your way..."
Misfit KotLD: *chuckles and turns to the audience* "anyone have a non-enchanted blade my foe can borrow?"
johnathan: *looks up*
johnathan: (I bet about two dozen blades come flying into the ring...)
Misfit KotLD: (probably)
johnathan: *watches as an assort of different blades get tossed into the ring* "Uh..."
Misfit KotLD: "well, take one. we did say fair fight"
johnathan: "I guess..." .o0(too small, too big...too unsanitary...Just right!) *grabs a large longsword* "This'll do..."
Misfit KotLD: *nods* (we paused, new init?)
johnathan: (sure, we'll count it as a new round of combat)
johnathan: 19+3
Misfit KotLD: 2...
Misfit KotLD: +8
johnathan: (Ouch...)
johnathan: (thank goodness for high int bonuses...)
johnathan: "Here we go!" 10+13 to str
Misfit KotLD: 17+16 parry
Misfit KotLD: "indeed" *parries and comes back around*
Misfit KotLD: 5...+14
johnathan: hehe
johnathan: 3+17 to parry "This does seem a little more even..."
Misfit KotLD: "yeah, and safer..."
johnathan: 14+10 str "Though, I worry about how long this blade will last..."
Misfit KotLD: 12+16 parry
Misfit KotLD: 16+14 str
johnathan: 15+17 parry
johnathan: "Our wounds will heal at this rate..."
johnathan: (In fact, I think part of mine probably already has...)
Misfit KotLD: "which is good, though the hits still count"
Misfit KotLD: 14+14 parry
johnathan: (dangit I screwed up somewhere, hold on...)
johnathan: (that previous 14+10 was suppose to be 14+13, but oh well...I forgot to add in W.P. bonus)
johnathan: 3+13 str
Misfit KotLD: wait, that was a strike on my part...
johnathan: (and confusion abounds...)
Misfit KotLD: yeah. i hit didnt i?
johnathan: well to parry it would've 3+17 then
johnathan: so yes
Misfit KotLD: (wasnt it +16 before? d-=
Misfit KotLD: 32 mdc
johnathan: (I have a natural +14 to parry/dodge, with a +3 from W.P to parry, then I have a +10 to str with the +3 still...it gets horribly confusing after a while)
Misfit KotLD: 9yes it does)
johnathan: *wince* "Heeeeey...that actually kinda stings..." 17+13 str
Misfit KotLD: 19+16 parry
johnathan: (and then the cosmic weapon provides it's own bonuses to strike and parry)
Misfit KotLD: "i should hope so"
Misfit KotLD: 13+14 str
johnathan: 13+17 parry
johnathan: "Don't get cocky big guy..." 13+13 str
Misfit KotLD: 9+16 parry "never..."
johnathan: (I think it's your turn to strike)
Misfit KotLD: (you hit though)
Misfit KotLD: "were even again"
johnathan: (OH)
johnathan: 19 damage
johnathan: (actually, are we going to assume the sword is MDC?)
johnathan: (if it's SDC I've just broken it...)
Misfit KotLD: (more than likely. probably vibro)
johnathan: (so...4d6 is a giant vibro right?)
Misfit KotLD: (3 unless its giant robo sized. this is probably a two hander)
johnathan: (Okay 3d6 and since it's not my weapon I don't add my attack power to it so...) 12 damage
Misfit KotLD: (so 31?)
Misfit KotLD: 15+14 str
johnathan: 17+17 parry "Yeah, one more hit and you're done..."
johnathan: 6+13 str
Misfit KotLD: "same to you sir"
Misfit KotLD: 4+16 parry
Misfit KotLD: 10+14 str
johnathan: 10+17 parry
johnathan: 15+13 str
johnathan: (and that was my last attack for this melee round)
Misfit KotLD: 6+16 parry
Misfit KotLD: "and the fight is yours"
johnathan: *flexes with a grin*
Misfit KotLD: "give me ten minutes to rest and we can go unarmed"
johnathan: *looks at the large sword* "Er...who's is this...?" *looks up*
johnathan: *hears someone yell it his* "Um...screw it, you can get it later, I'm not throwing this to you."
Misfit KotLD: "let the maintenance crew sort this out. i need a clean pair of pants and boots. these are soaked through with my blood"
johnathan: "Well, let's get outta here so someone else can duke it out..." *drops the sword* "You can heal up then."
johnathan: *gives you an arm*
Misfit KotLD: "im not that bad, but damn does this hurt..."
johnathan: "Yeah uh...sorry about that. I should've warned you I guess, I can cleave a light power armor in half with that thing..."
Misfit KotLD: "i already knew that, and im not as tough as a power armor"
johnathan: *leaves the arena to cheers* "I guess they liked it..."
johnathan: "Do you feel okay?"
Misfit KotLD: "do i look like i feel ok?" *shrugs* 'give me a few minutes, itll heal"
Misfit KotLD: *heals at 1d4*10 per minute*
johnathan: *does the same* "I mean like...are you okay with all this? Not having any bad flashbacks or anything?"
Misfit KotLD: "a little...but at least i knew you werent honestly trying to kill me...for which im very glad"
johnathan: "Understandably so...besides I doubt we'll ever get to that point. And they didn't seem upset that nobody died..."
Misfit KotLD: "yeah, which was a plus. im still not sure which of us is better with a sword though"
johnathan: "Yeeaah...I'd say we're about half and half. Though, I did teach Joshua and Joshua did teach you, right? Or did Hsieh teach you how to use a blade?"
Misfit KotLD: "joshua taught me, working it into the fighting i learned in juarez. ill show you what hsieh taught me next"
johnathan: *frowns* "I don't like how that sounds...I have this feeling I'm going to be on my back a whole lot."
johnathan: "...and not in a GOOD way."
Misfit KotLD: "im sure your wives will play nurse after"
johnathan: *wry grin* "I bet..."
Misfit KotLD: *grins*
johnathan: "I'm sure yours will be doing the same...that first hit I got in looked like it felt as good as a bullet to the head..."
Misfit KotLD: "i think it hurt worse. most shots to the head result in unconciousness"
johnathan: *nods* "Good point." *looks self over* "Okay, I'm good to go...you need any more time?"
Misfit KotLD: "im fine"
johnathan: "Excellent. Round two then?"
Misfit KotLD: "yeah"
Misfit KotLD: *removes boots, walks out, having doned a silk kung fu outfit in the interim*
johnathan: *goes looking the exact same*
johnathan: "Well now...this will be interesting..."
johnathan: "It's been a long time since I've faught someone in a gi..."
Misfit KotLD: *walks to the center of the sands, bows, then takes a stance*
johnathan: *rolls his shoulders and assumes a stance* "Show me what ya got!"
johnathan: 13+3 int
johnathan: *init
Misfit KotLD: 12+6
johnathan: curses
Misfit KotLD: 11+9 str, fingertip attack
johnathan: 15+14 to parry, "What the..."
johnathan: (hold on...lemme grab mystic china and N&SS)
Misfit KotLD: (damn, john has some ludicrous bonuses)
johnathan: (PP: 27 plus RCC bonuses plus combat bonuses...Cosmo-knights are tough for a reason)
Misfit KotLD: (damn, he is just a smidge slower than mig)
johnathan: (damn.)
Misfit KotLD: (28, bug his martial arts are only 6th level. his hth assassin is 8th)
johnathan: (martial arts level 8 here)
johnathan: 17+10 str
Misfit KotLD: *simul on your left leg, fingertip* 9+9 str
johnathan: 18+14 to dodge and does a backflip
Misfit KotLD: (you cant, i simuled)
johnathan: *gives a weird look*
johnathan: (Doh, that's right.)
johnathan: (what does fingertap do anyway...?)
Misfit KotLD: paralysis in this case. whats the damage?
johnathan: 25
Misfit KotLD: *staggers back, shaking head* "come out and play, john"
johnathan: *tries to move his leg and blinks* "No way..."
Misfit KotLD: 11+9, another paralysis shot, to your arm
johnathan: 16+11 to entangle
johnathan: whatever arm you're striking with
Misfit KotLD: means i paralyzed it too doesnt it?
johnathan: (Uh uh, it means I was able to seize your attacking hand, kinda like in a hold, it says it takes the place of a dodge or parry)
johnathan: (Entangle: a defender can attempt to trap the weapon or arm of an attacker. This is done instead of a parry or dodging, and takes up one attack per melee. An entangle is successful if the defender rolls above the attacker's strike roll. It takes one attack and a roll to entalge to keep an opponent's arm or weapon entangled every melee round. In order to get free, the engtangled opponent must roll a dodge against the entangle roll)
Misfit KotLD: so both your arms are entangling my one?
johnathan: It didn't specify and I'm not sure really.
johnathan: my personal martial arts experience doesn't extend beyond a yellow belt in karate
Misfit KotLD: mine was marine combat training. and some holds needed two, some one
johnathan: I assume it's kind of like me just grabbing hold of your wrist and twisting or something
Misfit KotLD: but using the other hand to hold too?
johnathan: You know what? I say we ask ed, we could debate this until the cows come home and not figure it out.
Misfit KotLD: true. or...
Misfit KotLD: *snaps fingers near your head*
johnathan: (damnit...)
Misfit KotLD: 6 str, it hits
Misfit KotLD: for five melees, all you can do is sit and talk. any movement makes you dizzy
johnathan: unless I'm propped up against something, and even then I got negative modifiers
Misfit KotLD: even propped up, all you can do is talk
johnathan: (let's keep in mind I'm still hold onto you and...) *falls flat on his back*
Misfit KotLD: *paralyzes that arm*
Misfit KotLD: 16+9 str
johnathan: (well...I have a -7 to dodge...but I would have to roll...)
johnathan: (be kind to be oh D20...)
johnathan: 17+9 to roll? (dunno how that would work though, it would probably mean you hit a different part of the body...)
Misfit KotLD: (not sure. in this situation, i about dont see how you could dodge and still hang on)
johnathan: (roll to the side and vomit, which is about the best he could manage right now...)
johnathan: (It won't last 5 minutes obviously...)
Misfit KotLD: (either way, id think you lose the grip on me, just from the disorientation and moving away from me)
johnathan: (Yea)
johnathan: "Oh man..."*shuts eyes* "The room needs to stop..."
Misfit KotLD: "we could play this all day, or you could admit i have a nice bag of tricks" *grins*
johnathan: (and I just read I can't roll with a punch so you'd strike since my dodge roll is a bit lower than my roll w/punch roll)
johnathan: *opens eyes* "Okay...yes, you have a nifty bag of tricks..."
johnathan: "This is worse than zero G training..."
Misfit KotLD: "sit still. itll pass in a few minutes" *fireman carries you off the field*
johnathan: "bleeeeeeh..."
Misfit KotLD: "just sit still john"
johnathan: *does so*
Misfit KotLD: *sits and waits* "im not as fast in these forms as i am with street fighting"
johnathan: "What did you do!?"
johnathan: "All you did was snap your fingers..."
Misfit KotLD: "atemi. the swordfight let me finish learning your chiflow. once i had that, the paralysis and disorientation were simple"
Misfit KotLD: "hitting you was less so. im glad youre on my side"
johnathan: "oye..."
johnathan: *gets up slowly*
Misfit KotLD: "those arent all i am capable of, but i dont like to show more than i already have"
johnathan: "Fair enough...I didn't want to either..."
Misfit KotLD: "you have more melle surprises than 'hulk smash'?"
johnathan: "Not really, I have more suprises, but I just like that one the best..."
johnathan: "If I had flown I bet your little fingersnap-thingy would've been very ineffective..."
Misfit KotLD: "thats not very melee like" *grins*
johnathan: "Nope, but it would've worked..."
johnathan: "I was a goner as soon as you snapped your fingers though...I had no earthly idea you could do that..."
Misfit KotLD: "thats the idea" *grins*
johnathan: "Shoulda hit you harder..."
Misfit KotLD: "probably, but i could take a few more"
johnathan: "I've layed you out before with one hit...I could do it again."
Misfit KotLD: "so have i" *smirks*
Misfit KotLD: "so it was a lucky shot..."
johnathan: "Yeah...my jaw line suffered for it..."
Misfit KotLD: "im sure your wives helped you recover"
johnathan: "My jaw was sore...they were disappointed..."
Misfit KotLD: *laughs* "you have hands, and they both have jaws. i see no real problem"
johnathan: "Touche my foxy friend..."
Misfit KotLD: "just waiting for the hounds"
johnathan: *nods nods* "As always as always..."
johnathan: "So, what's our score now...? We got one for me and one for you today...so the score is 3-2 in your favor?"
Misfit KotLD: "that mean we need a round four sometime? i can fly, but im pretty sure i cant keep up with you"
johnathan: "Yeah..."
johnathan: "I don't think anyone can fly that fast...well, anyone we know..."
Misfit KotLD: "i bet not. so, call it a 2-2 tie?"
johnathan: "Fair with me."
Misfit KotLD: "deal"
Misfit KotLD: "feeling up to walking yet?"
johnathan: *nods*
johnathan: *gets up...slowly*
johnathan: "Oye..."
Misfit KotLD: *chuckles* "then lets get dressed and go see our wives"
johnathan: *nods* "Yeah..." *does so*
