[R2-B6] Grandmaster_Chris vs. Piercing Light

[Key]

Arena: Barren Plain-- A flat expanse where many battles have taken place over the ages. The ground is dry and cracked, and vegetation and any other cover is scarce here. Two opposing forces meet here.

Special Conditions: Both Battlers are restricted to the character templates The Professor and I have created. CHARACTERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN CLAIMED. THERE WILL BE NO TRADING.

Restrictions: This is a one-on-one fight--though there are other soldiers involved, you are not allowed to gang them up on your opponent, nor are you allowed to kill members of your own army.

Spoiler Show

Name: Kal'zhirrak*
Title: The Corruptor
Age: Early Thirties
Race: Human
Gender: Male

Weapon: A plain bastard sword, enhanced with an element or single spell of your choice.

Ability(s): Gifted in nearly all aspects of magic, particulary in Evocation; his poorest skill lies in any sort of Healing ability or Life-Stealing. He has some worth of charisma about him, but against a determined opponent it is useless.

Appearance: Standing at around five feet and seven inches tall, he walks slightly hunched, in tattered, ill-kept robes of dark blue. Hair black as the night itself hangs to his shoulders, with grey streaks already beginning to appear, carving a nearly pale face of wretched tears. Blue eyes, once solemn, peer out in pure rage at anything which seems to be orderly, in the balance of nature, atop a hooked nose. Long fingers, attached to what appear to be too-small hands reach out with yellowed, sharp nails, a few of them broken or filed to points. Dark leggings are tucked into dirty, once finely cobbled leather boots, mud caked on the bottom of the foot.

Personality: A never-ending cycle of destruction follows in this madman's wake - the Corruptor knows only the end of civilization will bring him peace. He despises, yet fears secretly, those who are better than him, and always attempts to lead at the forefront of a charge, yet somehow finds his way to the back at some points.

He strives for omnipotence, yet falls into the pit of failings, never realizing that, unless one is at peace with themselves, they can never achieve their ultimate potential.

Name: Ni’hali
Title: The White Wind
Age: Unknown—Appears to be in her late Twenties
Race: Elf
Gender: Female

Weapon: An elaborate staff, with a white gem that serves to channel and enhance magic near the top.

Ability(s): Is gifted in many aspects of Magic, but specializes in defensive spells. She excels in healing, barrier and illusions spells, and her proficiency in the other schools of magic ranges from skilled to average. She has an aura of calm about her, which she uses to her advantage.

Appearance: A graceful being, she stands at about five feet and six inches tall. Dressed in a hooded green cloak, she walks proudly and holds her head high. Her hood hides long blonde hair, pointed ears and an almost feline grace, bright green eyes holding both a calming radiance and a fierce determination, the will to fight for what she believes to be right. White-gloved hands provide healing and comfort, but will also take up her staff for battle. Underneath her cloak, she wears lightweight leather armor over a simple brown tunic, and light tan leggings tucked into leather boots that match her armor, which remain remarkably clean considering the amount of traveling she’s done.

Personality: A bringer of Healing, she travels the world to rid it of corruption. She is a confident woman, though she doubts her ability to defend herself in battle even though she is very capable of doing so.

She abhors chaos and those who wreak havoc, and seeks to be rid of them and their evil. What she does not understand is that without evil, there is no balance, and without balance, the world would fall into the very chaos she strives to destroy.

I choose the second character. I'm already thinking of ways to use her effectively.

Always.

Re: [R2-B07] Grandmaster_Chris vs. Piercing Light

Alright, Grandmaster_Chris has Template 2. Piercing Light, you're now limited to Template 1.

The battle will start when Piercing Light claims his character and someone makes an opening post.

Let's get this show on the road, a'right?

Okay then! Go ahead and start the fight, whenever you're ready.

Re: [R2-B7] Grandmaster_Chris vs. Piercing Light

Peering over the bare plains Kal'zhirrak glared at the opposing army a half mile away from his own. They looked like bugs from here, fitting seeing as how that was how he saw them.
"Sir, the archery team is awaiting your order, they will fire on your mark, and the army shall charge." A soldier clad in gray armor told him.
"Do it..." Kal'zhirrak said passively. Two rows of archers moved forward, aiming their crossbows. All at once they fired, raining bolts down upon the enemy army. The rest of his men charged, with him leading in the front. He effortlessly cut down a few hostles, all the while his azure eyes scanning the area for his real target.
"Ni’hali!! Show your face!" He bellowed.

 

[GrandMaster_Chris]

Re: [R2-B7] Grandmaster_Chris vs. Piercing Light

Predictable as ever.....he was such a fool. That would be Kal'zhirrak downfall if he were too anxious. What he had just attacked was an illusion. Well, mostly an illusion, the first row of soldiers in the front were real and had protective barriers surrounding most them. The ones that were not protected fell to the ground either dead or wounded. This was okay, there sacrifice would not be in vein.

A mile away from the battlefield, Ni'hali and her forced were preparing for an attack, the man watching the scene from afar through a telescope turned his head and nodded to her. She raised her hand and a caravan on ballistas rolled forward, each aimed dead ahead. "Fire!" She yelled. On her command and almost immediately after, large arrows flew through the air like missiles. Each headed for the charging army with Kal'zhirrak somewhere among them he also had the chance to be hit. Ni'hali hoped he would not be killed, she wanted the pleasure of ending his life in his own way. Her own brand of justice if you would.

"Go forth my warriors!" She shouted and her men did as such in a slow pace while she followed them. Their heavy armor and the bodies inside them acting as her shield, the archers and men using the ballistas....her swords. This would be a battle to remember.

Re: [R2-B7] Grandmaster_Chris vs. Piercing Light

"This was, unexpected..." Kal'zhirrak muttered as he looked over the few enemy soldiers that were among the force he just attacked.
"I never thought she of all people would willingly throw away men, just to gain an advantage." He said, nonchalantly driving his blade into a man trying to crawl away. One of his men then ran up to him.
"S-sir, scouts have reported... Ni'hali's army is a mile due east!" He shouted out, gasping for breath.
"So that's where she is... Fine, Men we go east, on to victory!" He yelled out, leading his army. They were closing the distance when he spotted flaming arrows descending towards them. Gripping his blade he planted his feet, then slicing the air creating a sonic boom that knocked most of the arrows off target. He moved on, not seeing the damage the few that hit did. The distance was closed, and the army's clashed.
"Tear them to shreds, show no mercy!" He raged, looking around for Ni'hali.

 

[GrandMaster_Chris]

The two opposing forces finally collided. It couldn't be helped after all. Kal'zhirrak being the brute he was kind of caught her by surprise, knocking back the arrows that were fired. He did it with such ease. Then again, he was a powerful force. Something Ni'hali would have to respect if he could really push her beyond her limits. Of course, she did not intend on finding out if Kal'zhirrak could indeed push them. So far she had only seen a sample of the power that terrified most people. She needed to continue to evolve her plan as the battle continued. But first, she needed to make sure that she could not be seen by the army fighter her own.

Cloaking herself in an illusion of her own design and for precautions, she put a barrier around herself. Randomly, she shot fire and ice spells and her enemies and somewhere in the midst of it all, she shot a few a Kal'zhirrak. Twice she shot at his back with ice spells and once at his left leg with a fire spell.

She knew these would have little to no effect due to her level of black magic ability. These were just to slow him down anyway and to keep him guessing. If he were to somehow find her, she had something in mind for that. With that being said, she retreated a half a mile away from the battle field and waited. She had formulated two plans for this. All that was necessary was for the brute, Kal'zhirrak to find her.

 

[Piercing Light]

Driving his blade into another soldier foolish enough to face him Kal'zhirrak nonchalantly tossed the body aside when he felt the sting of black magic strike him. It didn't hurt him so much as it did enrage him, and he knew who it was that had done it.
"Ni'hali, so this is the game you wish to play?" Kal'zhirrak laughed to himself, his right hand glowing with magic.
"Fine! I'll play along, just so long as you don't mind I add my own rules in!" Pinpointing the source of the magic attacks he strained his right hand, then slamming it into the ground. A large area underneath where Ni'hali most likely was erupted in flames that lasted for five seconds. Amidst the smoke the burnt bodies of many of her solders simmered.

 

[Professor Ven]

Shames on both of you silly-ninnies in letting this never get finished, and due to Key's absence I are forced to make a decision which I personally abhor - judging one RPer over the other - so I decided to look into the posts and find who depicted their characters with a continous, unchanging style to that character in each post, had consistent English Class skills, as both of you did make tiny mistakes in your posts, and how well I felt satisfied as a reader in devouring the appetizer you both concocted for me, as opposed to the full course meal of deliciousness I initially expected from such exemplary scribblers as j00 both.

I also took into a small account of your time online on the Forums, for sake of wondering what in Bob's holy sacred flame caused this postastrophe.

Though I don't like judging, I have to give Stabby Luminosity the green lantern, namely because Grand Wizard Christoffus had well around two or more weeks to post, and did not contact me (unknown to me if he contacted Missy Key) if he was to be inactive due to any sort of scary emergency (fire, funeral, birthday party, vacations, real life in general). From my personal perspective I perceived Nihali as she was puppeted by Christoffus to be a little more offensive than she could be (though this is my opinion, however) though I enjoyed what . . . little of this battle I got to read over.

Stabby Luminosity wins this, me guesses. Yes, Precious. If anyone wishes to dispute my choice, please do so accordingly, by contacting Missy Key, myself, and Orion should you so object.

Weeeee.
