Thegye Summer Tourney - ROUND 1!

Today is the first day of the tournament! Crowds of both Thegyans and Caer Sidians flock to the tournament ring outside the castle, just to the north of the city. All around, banners, streamers, and colorful flags flap in the wind. Adults and children alike speak in excited tones, each one looking forward to the event to come. Jugglers, musicians, and jesters roam the streets, adding an air of jolliness and gaiety to the warm breeze. From the taverns, shouts and songs can be heard from the early partyers, getting their fill of the cheap beer and chilled ale. At the ring itself, already the seats have begun to fill up, and the guests of honor begin to arrive. Soon, only standing room will be left for the onlookers. The trumpets sound the royal fanfare as the Diarchs and their guest of honor, Queen Ayu, make their way to their thrones, dresses in springtime colors. Seated, the Diarchs and Queen Ayu extend their hands and signal the beginning of the tourney. Let the best warrior win!

HANNO vs. COMMANDER MERITORIAL IV

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.

The huge Pridosi warrior from the Great Protectorate, Meritorial, hefts his huge hammer, swinging it surprisingly swiftly at Hanno. The Punic man is unable to dodge the groundbreaking blow and is thrown bodily backward. However, he regains his feet before the lumbering Meritorial can raise his hammer again. Using his longsword as a hamstringing device, Hanno trips the Pridosi, who falls headfirst onto the head of his huge hammer. A resounding clonk sounds as the hammer concusses the Pridosi warrior. Hanno from Caesars legion of the mojave wins, beating from Commander Meritorial IV of The Great Protectorate!


FLITCONIS vs. ARTHUR

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.

Flitconis, drawing back his bow, skilfully places an arrow straight through Arthur's arm. Shouting in pain, Arthur swings hard at Flitconis, severing the Noyistianian's bow and slicing a nasty cut down his arm. Using the haft of his now-shattered bow, Flitconis brings the two pieces down hard onto the Englishman's head. Dazed, Arthur is unable to resist as Flitconis uses the bowstring to choke him out. Flitconis, the contestant from Noyistain wins, defeating Arthur of Lollerland!


CARTWRIGHT vs. BARRÁTT THE WOLF

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.

Cartwright swings his longsword experimentally. Barrátt grins amusedly. Suddenly, the British soldier rushes forward and deals a series of swift, painful blows to Barrátt. Unprepared, the Phusditian drops his heavy saber. Scrambling to retrieve it, he exposes his defense, allowing Cartwright to jump in and smash a skullcrushing blow on Barrátt's head. Cartwright, the contestant from Wolvilan wins, defeating Barrátt The Wolf of Great katyusha!


GOESWIJN STEENSEL vs. VUHARIP

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.
The Axolotl warrior, flashing his obi sword at Goeswijn Steensel, grins. Goeswijn looks a little nervous, holding his Battlavian spear. Rushing forward, Vuharip swings out with his blade, cutting Goeswijn a nasty strike on the face. Stumbling back, the Battlavian smacks Vuharip with his spearbutt. Stunned, Vuharip is unable to defend as Goeswijn stabs him deep in the side with his spear. Grunting, the Axolotl, with a herculean effort, snaps the haft of the spear with his blade and uses the pommel of his obi sword to bash the Battlavain into unconsciousness. Vuharip, the contestant from Axolotl Land wins, defeating Goeswijn Steensel of Battlavia!

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.

Hefting his sizable stale baguette, Bob menaces Luinen with it. Unable to have an expression, body language, or really any normal body-type things, Luinen stands there, passively. Rushing forward, Bob uses the rock-hard crust of his old bread to smash into the body of the skeleton, which simply falls apart in pieces. Confused and thinking this is some sort of joke, Bob looks around confusedly. Bob Soar Uncle, the contestant from Thegye wins, defeating Luinen the Skeleton of Peraro Krotoik!


LEVI DANIELS vs. ROMANI RADI

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.

Romani Radi, drawing his two daggers, rushes forward, slicing through the thin warmer of Levi and nicking the flesh. Trying to return the blow, Levi uses his knife to hit Romani. Stumbling back, Romani tears at the Pland Adannan, cutting deep into his shoulder and arm. Screaming, Levi drops to his knees, leaving the Razdanian free to double-bash him over the head. Romani Radi, the contestant from Razden wins, defeating Levi Daniels of Pland Adanna!


ARTEMIS vs. ISTI RAZEDUSK-JÖRMUNR

Artemis, drawing back her slender and elegant bow, fires a shot which streaks towards Isti at a blinding speed. With his warhammer raised high above his head, the Europeian was unready for such an attack. The arrow struck his side, causing him to drop his hammer... which then crashed into his skull. Artemis, the contestant from Evil Mother wins, defeating Isti Razedusk-Jörmunr of Istillian!


RI vs. THOR ZUNIGA

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.

Ri, an aspiring fighter, fingers the feathers of his bow. Drawing back, he fires a quick double shot at Thor, who deflects them with his armor. Rushing forward, Thor uses his spiked dagger to slash at Ri twice, bringing the Hyrulean to his knees. Swiping upwards, Ri uses his bow to smack the Ellenburgian painfully across head and shoulders. Grabbing the bow, Thor throws it aside and headbutts Ri, knocking him out. Thor Zuniga, the contestant from Ellenburg wins, defeating Ri of The realm of hyrule!


DEFEATED BRACKET

ARTHUR vs. COMMANDER MERITORIAL IV

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.

Arthur and Meritorial face off, gramacing. A few moments later, the referee signals that someone needs to make the first move. Using his hammer as a clothesline, Meritorial knocks the Englishman onto his back. Standing over him, the Pridosi repeatedly smashes downwards with his hammer, eliciting groans and moans from the crowd. Wiping blood from his face, Meritorial roars, shaking his hammer at the silent crowd. Commander Meritorial IV, the contestant from The Great Protectorate wins, defeating Arthur of Lollerland!

LEVI DANIELS vs. LUINEN THE SKELETON

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.

The skeletal body of Luinen charges Levi, using his trident to drive back the Pland Adannan. Levi grabs the trident and uses the skeleton's momentum against it, drawing it forward to meet a crashing blow from his elbow. Sunned, the skeletal form is only able to swipe at Levi, who ducks underneath and stabs his knife up into the ribcage and neck of his opponent, splitting him apart. Levi Daniels, the contestant from Pland Adanna wins, defeating Luinen the Skeleton of Peraro Krotoik!


ISTI RAZEDUSK-JÖRMUNR vs. RI

The two warriors enter the ring to loud cheering and applause. Each makes his way before the royal platform and bows deeply to the Diarchs. Then, at the signal of the referee, the fight begins.

Ri draws down on Isti, confident the Europeian would be unable to attack. The first arrow slices through Isti's armor and buries itself in his gut. Staggering with pain, Isti receives another arrow in the thigh. Dropping to one knee, he raises his hammer one last time, trying to reach his opponent, but a final arrow pierces his heart and the big Europeian dies. Ri, the contestant from The realm of hyrule wins, defeating Isti Razedusk-Jörmunr of Istillian!


As the last contestants leave the ring, the crowd begins to disperse. Soon, the Diarchs rise, announce that the second round of the tourney and the defeated bracket will begin tomorrow morning, and depart for the ensuing feast. The rest of the crowd leaves, some heading home, others to parties, and still others to the taverns to celebrate wins or losses. All in all, everyone has enjoyed the first day of the tourney and many look forward to the events tomorrow!
