Round 1 Part 2
After some furious fighting, Round 1 comes to a close, reducing the field to just eight competitors! Who will take the title of champion this time around?
novatomato vs. Yzan
Lord Bittlesworth stared across at his opponent, a Daemon follow of Slaanesh. The air hummed with magical energies around her... no its body. The daemon started moving and Lord Bittlesworth realized it was going on the offensive, but was a tad too late, its magical sword rending his head from his body. Lust triumphantly stood over the body, daring others to come and fight. (The Herald managed to hit with all its attacks and then wound with three. The Lord then failed all three of his ward saves and died.)
Victor: Yzan.
Chahlie vs. Sir Zantos
Huitzilopochtil coldly stared out at the brutish ogre across from him, waiting for his opponent to make the first move for atop his Cold One. The Ogre charged, but the longsword was parried by the Oldblood easily. Huitzilopochtil swung back, gashing Slog across the chest, his blade biting deep. Enraged the ogre reentered the fray and the two began a quick duel with both receiving wounds. But as the ogre's speed slowed, Huitzilopochtil saw an opening and took it, driving his blade straight through the Slog's heart, finishing him off. (With the Oldblood doing double wounds and the Tyrant lacking significant punch, the Oldblood took this fight.)
Victor: Sir Zantos.
Juhaaha vs. Dreadgrass
The battle of the beastmen had coming, Mr. T and Billy the Bull staring each other down. Billy struck first, but his attacks were easily deflected by his opponent. Mr. T struck back, hatred evident in his eyes, and inflicted to gashing wounds into the Gorebull. Billy, staggering from loss of blood could not muster enough strength to wound his opponent, and was quickly killed by Mr. T. (With hatred rerolls and a great weapon, the Beastlord had no problem getting past the Gorebull`s defenses.)
Victor: Dreadgrass.
ryan88 vs. rammramm
Alariel spotted his enemy and quickly moved to strike the Chaos scum, but his blade was not strong enough to pierce the tough armour of the Chaos Lord. Guluk struck back, but the netlings surrounding Alariel kept most of his blows warded away. The two entered a furious duel, a combat so quick few could follow all the movements. Guluk drew first blood, but Alariel quickly returned the favour. Another wound was struck and returned soon after, but the competitors were growing tired. As the fight drew longer, Guluk made the fatal mistake, stumbling a little over his tired feet. Alariel quickly used this advantage and swept the Chaos Lord's legs and then driving his blade through a slit in the helm. (This fight lasted fifteen rounds and was the longest fight I have had to do. The Highborn's spites and ward save and the Chaos Lord's armour both kept them alive for a very long time. Finally, the Highborn took off the last wound and won the fight.)
Victor: ryan88.
