Round 3 results are in!
Xlcontiqu vs. Chahlie
The young assassin moved quickly, immediately closing in on the slower Dwarf and lashing out with a huge number of attacks. The hardy Dwarf's armour managed to absorb most of the blows, but with a last final attack the Assassin lashed out, driving his dagger towards the slit in the Dwarf's helm. The runes activated, but could not stop the ferocity of the assault. The Dwarf fell, and the Assassin removed his dagger, another enemy falling on his deadly blades. (I managed to only score one killing blow, but the Dwarf rolled a 3 for his ward save and died.)
Winner: Xlcontiqu
hellbreaker vs. Yzan
The Oldblood and Black Orc stared each other down, the hatred in their eyes very evidently. They lunged at each other, and the Oldblood's halberd quickly gashed the side of the Black Orc. The orc roared, his bloodthirsty blade turning red in anger and lashing out. The rage behind the attacks surprised the Oldblood, his cold-blooded senses not reacting quickly enough to stop the blade. His armour did very little to stop it, and the magic of his talisman glimmered once, but could not stop the blade. With his dying breath, he slashed out with his halberd, hoping to take down the enemy with him. It would not be enough, the blade embedding itself in the orc's shoulder and missing his head by mere inches. (This was a close one, with the Oldblood scoring two wounds to the Warboss' three in the first round. The Oldblood could only make one of his rerollable armour saves and thus died. A little bit of good luck to the Warboss, as in the second round, it would have become even harder to kill the Oldblood.)
Winner: Yzan
And so we go to the finals, the nimble Assassin against the bloodthirsty Black Orc. Who will reign supreme as the deadliest in the Arena of Death?
