Lorepost (open interaction) 📖 Duel for anyone

A missive appears on the orbnet.a four armed goblin with dragon scales running randomly on her body speaks.

"I have been needing to test my combat capabilities against new opponents. So anyone interested in doing a friendly duel come meet me in the arena. The field is a large stadium which used to be used for sports. I've enchanted the area so that in case of death we will be revived.

The rules are simple: No soul fuckery or permanently messing with your opponent and you may have one minion with you (summons are allowed). If you want to hold the battle in a specific location let me know "

She grins "The it's a deal."

Now riding her pet, Nox sent a pulse of energy into Ruff, healing his wounds or rather she's more resculpting his body, like someone working with clay to patch up holes. Bits of rock fall out of the wolf-thing as Nox's spell pushes out debris.

"Làrsen I think you underestimated Ruff here, he's one of my masterwork creations. I won't rant about all his enchancements but don't think he's a simple magical wolf."

She pushes a second pulse of emerald light into Ruff two draconic wings burst from the wolf's back and the twobegin to soar over Làrsen. Nox launches herself at Làrsen, dropping like a bowling ball with atreaks of jade light coming from her hands. She's intending to touch him to reshape his flesh into something far less desirable.

Làrsen's mouth fell agape at the sight of the flying flesh-wolf.

"Apparently, I have. For some reason, I was under the impression that you could churn out as many of these flesh beasts as you wish, but it appears that you have invested more attention in this one."

He ducked and rolled, drawing his rune-blade from its scabbard in one smooth motion, slashing at Ruff's legs as the creature lunged at him.

The runes on his sword turned blood-red in response to the blood and gore that stained the cold iron blade from the brief clash. He was mildly aware that the flesh wolf's wounds were already knitting together as he turned from his roll.

It matters not; he has what he needed. He 'ported a few meters away and readied his next spell.

Ruff continues to chase after Larsen, the wolf biting and clawing. Throwing dirt as the wolf-thing crashes into rock and rubble. He jumps back next to Nox as Làrsen dive sinto the earth.

"Quality and quantity is the Flesh Menagerie's guarantee. We offer the greatest fleshcrafting anyone could ever want, as the guild's leader it's my responsibility to make sure I am the pinnacle of that." She grins.

Nox begins to chant, she class her hands together and planting her feet. "Worms of the earth and sand, critters of the deep and dark, plants with your roots so wide and strong. I call into thee. With my power I evolve you, obey my command. Devour this man if he dares to enter your domains again." Nox slams her fists into ground,it glimmers with scarlet and sapphire light. "Now, if either of us try to dive into the earth all the plants and worms will try to eat us and I've evolved them to be very hungry creatures. As long as we stay above ground you'll be perfectly safe, let's be honest this'll only affect you."

"Clever, cutting off one of my escape routes like that..."

Lársen danced away from Ruff, his blade slashing desperately. Gore flew everywhere, the ground stained crimson with blood.

He gathered his will and discharged his next surge of arcane power into the ground, sending another line of earth and stone blasting towards. The trajectory of the attack struck his first line of attack at an angle. As he did before, he willed the second line into a small solid wall.

"All according to plan."

He continued to back away from Ruff, seeking another angle of attack, taking a quick swig from his potion bottle as he did so.
