Percival came out on top from Today's tournament! Was a great match all around to everyone, and we got our first pure-mage character I think (Which was awesome to see.)Â
In the future, we will be changing the location, but I'll have an answer about it up by Wednesday!

Kukuna vs. Percival; Round 1
Kukuna Kuna: "Do try not to split me in half."
Percival Turner: "Is there enough of you to split?"
Kukuna Kuna raises her rod up high. "Plenty of you to burn." With a quick swipe of her rod, she flings a small fireball towards Percival, hoping she would catch him off guard.
Percival Turner demonstrates a complete disregard for his own safety, dashing straight forward through the fireball, ducking low, and aiming a left-handed punch for Kukuna's face.
Kukuna Kuna gasped as Percival took the fireball directly. A gauntleted fist managed to connect with her face, staggering her a bit. Her mouth was already bleeding. "Ngh...Different from Runestone..."
Percival Turner follows up by dropping down and attempting to slam the pommel of his sword into Kukuna's shoulder.
Kukuna Kuna quickly twisted herself as the pommel of Percival's blade decended upon her. Her dominate right arm was spared but Percival instead smashed her left, laming her limb. "Grgh...!!" Desperate to open distance between the two, a spark formed between the two as Kuna jumped back. Soon enough the spark turned into a small explosion as she used the flames as cover for her retreat.
Percival Turner stumbles back a little, not sure why he didn't expect an explosion at that range. "Damned fire..."
Percival Turner reaches up, taking his sword in both hands before leaping across the space between him and Kukuna. As he lands, he brings the weapon down, but rotates it so that he would just hit with the flat side of the blade instead of possibly cutting his opponent in half.

Kuroro vs. Kay'ran
Kay'ran Dethnos gives a slight nod, wringing her hair out from all the rain as she steps up, opening up her coat to drag out her daggers from the harness underneath, closing the coat afterwards before looking at Kuroko. "Bes' o' luck to ye, lass."
Kuroko Koumori walks into position, drawing her blunt sword. She gives the training weapon a few test swings in the air before she takes her stance, facing her opponent. "Indeed, let this be a good fight."
Kay'ran Dethnos brings up her left arm, holding the dagger horizontally, her right arm to the back, stretched like a board. She takes two slow steps forward then springs off towards Kuroko, launching herself in a small spin to close the distance and attempting to slam both of her daggers pommels into the Au Ra's side as she lands.
Kuroko Koumori attempts to intercept the Miqo'te's attack with a heavy swing, but is only just too slow to stop it, her blade striking her opponent on one side as she herself is struck on the other.
Kay'ran Dethnos 's body jerks to the side as the blade impacts her, the razor sharp edge slicing her coat a little, the flat of it would surely leave a bruise. Springing away a few steps and holding her side, she straightes her back a little, hissing in pain. "Ouch! Tha' smarts!"
Kay'ran Dethnos walks around on the spot a little, rubbing her smacked side a little, jumping in place to get that stinging feeling out of the way. After gaining a few fulms distance from Kuroko she throws her right dagger up in the air, letting it flip, and on its way down she does a little spin and kicks it in Kuroko's direction. The chance was high that the pommel would hit first, not the blade.
Kuroko Koumori stood perpared for opponent to dash in, expecting the knife toss to be some kind of distraction. She was suprised then to find what was very clearly not a throwing knife flying pommel first into her face. She let out a cry of pain and frustration as it struck her forehead.
Kuroko Koumori didn't let the trick attack throw her off, and decided to take advantage of her opponent being down a blade to charge forwards. The Xaela stopped just short enough to make a wasteless, straight swing into her opponent's leg with the tip of her blunt sword, keeping herslef at the maximum range of her weapon to try and maintain her advantage.
Kay'ran Dethnos tried not to let the fact that she was down a blade hinder her offense, but defensively there was a price to pay. She does her best to crouch, sliding her left arm down straight, first almost touching the ground as the dagger was lined up vertically, but that wasn't enough to dull the impact of the training sword that resonates through both her arm and leg, causing her to jump back in a slight limp from it to gain about a fulm space.
Kay'ran Dethnos recoils on her good foot, tensing up like a spring before launching forward towards Kuroko. Making use of that one dagger of hers she attempts to rush the Au Ra, to use her free arm in a tackling distraction while her dagger flies on down from behind the swordswoman. Not aiming to pierce or stab, but to make itself felt at the armor joint on Kuroko's shoulder.
Kuroko Koumori managed to see through her opponent's trick, but sadly, she was still too slow, the impact of the blade on her shoulder rang fully down her arm, and with a wince, her blade dropped to the ground. "Damn it all... I yield..." She said with an annoyed tone as she clutched her arm.
Kay'ran Dethnos instantly withdraws her dagger from the shoulder and straightens up with a hop on her good foot and a rub at her side. "Fightin' like a storm, lass, good on ye." she compliments with a respectful bow of her head.

Kay'ran Vs. Percival
Kay'ran Dethnos reaches out to grab the potion, popping off the cork and downing it like a shot of rum. Tossing the empty vial up and down in her hand, waiting for that quick effect, she steps on up to retrieve her dagger from the grass.
Kay'ran Dethnos: "Righ' 'en. Le's see wha' yer made of, lad."
Percival Turner puts his helmet back on and stretches. "Right. Let's make this last round a show..." He draws and raises his sword, and becomes surrounded by a dark aura.
Kay'ran Dethnos huffs a few breaths, hopping a little to get that blood flowing and that potion into effect. Little time is wasted before she charges for the armored man, her intention behind to slip past behind him so she could attempt to bash both of her dagger's pommels into the armored back with all her strenth. He had armor, he could take it!
Percival Turner is caught off-guard, expecting a more straight-forward approach and instead taking a pair of weapons hitting him in the back. "Right, so you're a smart one..."
Percival Turner rapidly pivots towards Kay'ran, and swings his sword down. Now, while the blade of the weapon would clearly miss, there's something extra added to the attack: a line of aetheric explosions extending from the hilt of his sword to the tree behind Kay'ran.
Kay'ran Dethnos instantly knelt and raised her daggers, crossing them at the hilts to whitstand the impact of the massive sword. While that nearly shattered her wrists, she thought herself safe until the aetherial charge follows the line of the attack and causes a mild explosion at the point of impact between sword and daggers, sending her rolling back with a few grunts.
Percival Turner pivots again, crouching slighting as aether gathers at his feet before lunching himself forward, aiming to slam the shoulder of his armor and the pommel of his sword into Kay'ran.
Kay'ran Dethnos spins a dagger in her hand, awaiting a charge so she could stab it in Percival's shoulder. What she didn't expect however was an aether propelled stack of metal flying towards her. She's sent flying into the tree with a rather unhealthy thud, before falling down to the ground.
Percival Turner takes a quick step forward to close the distance as he raises his sword, spins it so that he'd hit with the flat of the weapon, then swings it down at Kay'ran, hoping to catch her when she tries to get back up.
Kay'ran Dethnos barely managed to push herself up a little, then she falls flat, face first in the ground as that massive sword ensures she doesn't get up for a while.
Caex'ra Vaeriar winces watching as that sword comes down. Like a fly swatter, almost, he'd raise up to his feet, holding up a hand, "Alrigh! Alrigh' - lez stop it there 'fore we 'ave t'call in a White Mage from their thrones, eh?" He'd say with a smirk, stepping off the rock and landing with a little plop nearby. He looks to Kay'ran with a worried expression, and back to Percival with a nod as he pulled out - with one hand, a bag of gill, and the other, a set of potions for the two of them.
Kay'ran Dethnos lets out a muffled: "M'fine." with a face full of mud and a groan, reaching out with a hand blindly for a potion as she was still under the sword.
