Chainer emerged from the starter's door and stood in the middle of the pit, facing an irate Aven, a nervous-looking Nomad, and a peculiar woman decked out in green next to a large, wobbling wooden crate. A figure somersaulted out of the starting door behind him, coming to rest next to him. He turned his head, grinning slightly as he unwound a length of chain from around his waist.
"Hello, big sister, care to wipe the floor with these toy soldiers?" The woman, Braids, smiled. "Why not?" The prep horn sounded. Teroh and Baankis lit their swords with glowing Power, and the druid placed a hand on her crate. Chainer twirled his weapon in a myriad of patterns, and Braids drew her short sword. The starting horn sounded. Yewma, the druid, lifted the lid of her cage. A half dozen gibbering wolf mandrills leapt out, bent on destroying the two Cabalists.
Teroh and Baankis advanced, swords held high menacingly. Chainer lashed out, killing a monkey. He quickly jutted his hands out in the casting stance and called forth a very odd monster. It looked like little more than a tiny tiny body attached to a huge balloon head. Teroh laughed and sliced the head as Braids summoned a small hydra which headed for Yewma, and she herself went for Baankis, who held up a quivering sword. The balloon- thing's head had been horizontally segmented, and a vacuum was trying to pull a struggling Major into the depths of Dementia space. Chainer chuckled and sent a rounded weight slamming into Teroh's head, knocking him loopy. He fell, and the balloon thing sucked him down, then faded into nothingness.
Yewma hurled green energy at the hydra, but it had no effect. A trio of mandrills devoured the hydra in a matter of seconds, then fell dead from poison that was in its very skin. Baankis tried valiantly to deflect Braids's first few blows, but stumbled backwards into Yewma in his retreat. Braids cackled and impaled them both with the small sword, leaving them to bleed the last of their life away as she and Chainer dispatched the rest of the mandrills with little trouble. The death bell tolled, and Skellum could be heard from above, "Excellent, my boy! Let me go collect my winnings and I will meet you at the academy directly!" Chainer grinned and headed off, waving a short goodbye to Braids, who was milling 'round the bodies gleefully.
--OOC: Did you like it? Some of it is kind of corny, I know, but I am not much for the pit fights. Viva Skellum! R&R please or I will turn you into a newt..(
