Round 3 continued...

(59) Henry the IT man nervously walks towards the ring with the imposing Kangaroo in it muttering under his breath about what he is doing here.

* DICE ROLL *
Jack the Knack rolls 8
Henry rolls 9

Henry scrambles into the ring, stands and dusts himself off. Jack watches, the adrenaline pumping through him, and speeds in for a quick knockout.
In a panic Henry raises his laptop in front of his face, just in time for Jack's right hook to connect with it.
"Waltzing freaking Matilda!" screams Jack the Knack as he nurses his right paw.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The creature that is (39) POGO half walks, half glides down towards the ring. Henry carefully steps back as it climbs in.

*ATTACK ORDER DICE ROLL*
Henry attacks POGO
POGO attacks Henry (counts as same dice roll as above)
Jack the Knack attacks POGO

* DICE ROLL *
Henry rolls 11
POGO rolls 8

POGO lashes out with one of its 6 attacks, a steel spiked tentacle that leaves a nasty gash across Henry's chest. He falls back alarmed by all the blood.
POGO looks to finish the fight with another of his attacks but mistakenly hits Henry with his heal ray instead of the acid he meant to use. Henry feels rejuvenated and with a little "Grrr" wades into POGO with his trusty office hole punch.
Henry punches hole after hole through POGO as the creature gurgles its protests until it finally drops down dead.

POGO reappears in the crowd, embarrassed at losing to a nerd.

Jack the Knack decides to take a breather, looking at Henry with new found respect.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

With a BOOM and a cloud of smoke (76) Calad the white haired sorcerer enters the arena.

Jack the Knack rolls 7

With new found confidence Henry advances on the Kangaroo with his hole punch in hand. He tries to repeatedly to strike Jack but the Roo is too nimble, weaving in and out of danger.

* DICE ROLL *
Calad rolls 6
Jack the Knack rolls 3

Seeing Jack's attention is elsewhere Calad casts a spell of Hill Giants strength upon himself. He then sneaks up behind the distracted Kangaroo and gives him a good whack across the back of his head with his shield, knocking him out sparko.
Together Calad and Henry drag Jack the Knack to the edge of the ring and push him out.

Jack the Knack comes to in the surrounding seats wondering what just happened. He sees respect on the faces around him.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The warrior-wizard called (19) Lupos races into the ring. Seeing the Kangaroo gone he smiles confidently.

*ATTACK ORDER DICE ROLL*

Calad attacks Lupos (counts as same dice roll as above)

* DICE ROLL *
Henry rolls 11
Calad rolls 9

Henry spins on Calad and with the speed of a Wild West gunslinger, he whips his stapler from his belt and rapid fires staples at the mage.
Calad curses "Son of a bit..." as staple after staple pierces his body before he finally casts a protective shield in front of himself to deflect the rest away.

* DICE ROLL *
Lupos rolls 7
Calad rolls 11

Lupos strokes the pet tarantula in his pocket before turning into a giant spider himself. Calad spins to see the arachnid poised to strike, "Oh hell no, I hate those things!"
With his hands shaking, Calad just manages to cast his spell in time and a giant rolled up newspaper appears above Lupos and smashes down repeatedly battering him to death.

Lupos is in the audience now, admiring the weird and wonderful creatures there.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The alien/human hybrid (97) Natali flies into the ring on top of a whirlwind and lands in a crouch, ready for action.

After having had to deal with the sudden appearance of that giant spider, Calad takes a deep breath, trying to recompose himself while at the same time putting Henry between himself and the arena entrance. Should also help to stay out of the target range of that darn battle stapler; talk about a specialization in exotic weapons!
Having defeated the previous king of the arena sure felt good, however. And surprising!

*applause for Calad*

Yay! Calad took down the menace known as Jack the Knack. I thought that kangaroo would never die. :D

I have sighed a sigh of great relief.

Jack the Knack fought exceptionally well, we might have encountered one of the best fighters of our lifetime.

Take your well deserved rest Jack the Knack o7

Kudos to the kangaroo, he's a serious contender for the most fights won award. ;)

What a way to begin a new year, reading about a kangaroo knocking down characters left and right. As much as it pains me to see <censored> and Skreetch Bonefoot gone, the marsupial deserves a champion's farewell. Standing ovation from my humble seat as he's carried out of the arena and of course, another one to the mad lad that is Doc for his dedication to keeping the entertainment going.
Clap, clap, clap!

Happy new year to all!

Henry is the inspector gadget of office depot!

Carry on you crazy IT man.

Round 3 continued...

The alien/human hybrid (97) Natali flies into the ring on top of a whirlwind and lands in a crouch, ready for action.

*ATTACK ORDER DICE ROLL*
Natali attacks Henry
Henry attacks Calad
Calad attacks Natali

* DICE ROLL *
Natali rolls 7
Henry rolls 8

The air around Natali becomes more turbulent as she starts to build power. Henry scratches his head, then sticks his stapler into the maelstrom and fires off multiple staples.
Natali swears as her winds send dozens of sharp staples flying about her being, scratching and stabbing as they go.

* DICE ROLL *
Henry rolls 8
Calad rolls 7

Hearing spell casting from behind Henry spins and shoots a staple pinning Calad's left ear to his head. The sorcerer yelps and promises to stick Henry's stapler somewhere rude.

* DICE ROLL *
Calad rolls 8
Natali rolls 11

Calad sends ice daggers past Henry and into Natali. The hybrid growls and throws her hands forward, the wind she had been building ripping Calad from the ring and sending him hurtling into a giant Rock among the seats. Dazed, Calad looks for an empty chair (after apologizing to Rock) and tries to get his bearings.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

A loud scraping noise is emitted by (21) UG as he drags his very big club behind him. "Me come for book man. Me SMASH book man!" he roars.
Ugghh cheers and smashes his club up and down from the sidelines at the sight of his fellow knucklehead.
Henry gulps.

*ATTACK ORDER DICE ROLL*
Natali attacks Henry
UG attacks Henry
Henry attacks Natali (counts as same dice roll as the first above)

* DICE ROLL *
Natali rolls 3
Henry rolls 11

Henry and Natali eyeball each other as they wait for UG to arrive. Henry pulls out his mobile phone and makes a call, Natali hears an Indian voice on the other end.
Henry smiles and puts his phone away "I understand you are having some technical problems, don't worry help is on the way".
Everyone looks up as dozens of drones fly overhead. Henry shouts up to them and points at Natali "Drop just there boys". Before Natali has a chance to react, dozens of repaired PC's come crashing down onto her head, battering her to the canvas.

Natali is seated in the crowd, vowing to track down that Indian voice and give them a battering of their own.

* DICE ROLL *
UG rolls 11
Henry rolls 8

Henry is brimming with confidence as he turns to face UG who is climbing into the ring. UG looks at the computers scattered about the place and goes red in the face with anger. "METAL BOOKS! UG SMASH!".
He starts obliterating the PC's with his club until a quiet voice draws his attention.
"Hey UG, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?”

With a grin Henry starts peppering UG with staples, really taking to the role of an action hero. UG looks at the many little bits of metal sticking out of himself, spits in his hands and gets a good grip on his club and swings hitting Henry with such force that his broken body crashes into the back of the arena. UG snorts "Stoopid book man" and starts picking staples out of his skin.

Henry is now sitting quietly ringside having decided that the life of the action hero isn't for him after all.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

UG stands in the middle of the ring beating his club against his chest as Ugghh does the same ringside when a loud cooing draws his attention from above.
Fish jumps up from his seat and yells "There's my baby! C'mon Lighthouse, win me some money!"
(35) Axela the lighthouse hovers above the ring, held aloft by her many pigeons. She has a brand new door in place that she is very happy with.

* DICE ROLL *
UG rolls 7
Axela the lighthouse rolls 10

UG jumps up and down, swinging his club angrily. Axela is above him when all of a sudden her pigeons as one let go of their ropes and the lighthouse falls 20 feet down onto UG's head with a loud splat.

UG is now ringside, chuckling, as he and Ugghh take it in turns to hit each other around the head with their clubs.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

A deadly hush falls across the arena as (33) Mother of All Mothers in Law stalks down the pathway leading to the ring. She glares at each and every being sitting ringside as she goes.

She's back!

*Grabs popcorn*

<gulp>

Let's go you silly lighthouse! I may not be able to fight you but at least you made me some decent gold.

Fish took a big gulp of his favorite bitter ale and was about to let out a satisfying burp but held it back as the Mother of All Mothers in Law enters the ring.

Oh boy, it's the fight everyone's waiting for. Can the Mother of all Mother in Laws defeat Axela the Lighthouse? Tune in next time to find out......

I am so proud of my man Henry! He is probably better off watching the action than being in the action.

Congrats UG!

My money sits on Axela the Lighthouse!
