Seahawk Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Here's the list of battles to be fought in Round 1 of the "Blood Duel" Arena of Death! Captain Diomedes vs Captain Gaius Victory to Captain Diomedes! Captain Scissorhands vs Chaplain Cassius Victory to Captain Scissorhands! Codicier Altair vs Honor-Guard Grand Champion Raideus Victory to Honor-Guard Grand Champion Raideus! Brother-Captain Silon Almach vs Chaplain Hiltraud Victory to Brother-Captain Silon Almach! Members have 48 hours (or maybe longer I suppose) to PM me with their special instructions for each battle and whatnot. Of course, the sooner they're in the sooner we can get the ball rolling.

KhorneHunter57x Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Ooh, two Chaplain vs Lightning Claw Captain duels. We shall see which set of re-rolls will prevail! As for my duel with Hiltraud, it would pain me greatly if any harm came to such a sacred relic as his Terminator Armor. Don't worry about hurrying to submit instructions though, it will give me more time to think of how to explain to the Reclusiam why you fell in battle. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209147-bd-round-1-battles/#findComment-2495240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Hiltraud Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 May the finest prevail! ;) Khornehunter57x: Don't stress to much about the terminator armour, we'll pass it off as a training exercise when you're explaining why the techmarines are repairing all the bolter *chips* and *holes* in your armour... :) On a side note, I was always under the assumption that we all are using something like nerf rounds and weapons? :D We are after all on the same team! Yours in Honour and Faith, Chaplain Hiltraud Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209147-bd-round-1-battles/#findComment-2495283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhorneHunter57x Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I won't need to explain. It's Artificer Armor, it self-repairs minor dings and scrapes, because superficial damage is all that you will be able to do with that symbol of office that you call a 'weapon'. ;) And I just thought that we would be using Lasguns with bayonets, to simulate battle without any harm coming to us or our sacred wargear. :D I hope that no character would permanently harm one of his fellow Sons of Guilliman.

Xeonic Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Aww, I pulled a reic blade/SS captain, and I was hoping to last more than 1 round. B) Do I need to give more instructions? I think the instructions provided are sufficient, nullzone and pray to the dice gods that he rolls 1s to wound. :D /me returns to painting his termie libby for next time. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209147-bd-round-1-battles/#findComment-2495337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mega_marines Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hopefully Raideus lasts long enough to face Gaius in comba! Two gladiators duelling seems appropriate.

Seahawk Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 I am assuming there are no more special instructions for this round's battles? The deadline is in 2.5 hours.

Seahawk Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 As the chosen Ultramarines filed into the practice chamber high in one of the towers in the Fortress of Hera, Marneus Calgar looked up through a dormer into the warm Macraggian sunrise. Not a more perfect day for duelling between such noble heroes, he thought. Returning his gaze to the assembled brethren, he spoke, "We now start the contest to see who is the most skilled to participate in the Blood Duel between our brother Chapters. You may begin when ready." Battle 1 Captain Diomedes and Captain Gaius both stepped forward, taking their places at each end of the spacious chamber, while the other brothers stood behind protective walls and glass. "I wager you won't even scratch me, brother captain," spoke Diomedes, advancing. "Let's see your actions speak for themselves, brother!" replied Gaius. With a boom, Diomedes' bolt pistol responded, ricocheting off Gaius' shoulder pad. "How's that for action?" retorted Diomedes, and with a roar he charged in, swinging his power sword but missing. Gaius laughed, returning with skill but was matched by Diomedes' perfect parrying. "I haven't even gotten warmed up!" said Diomedes, as he took a cut to his leg. In a flurry of thrusts, cuts, parries, and riposts, he returned the favor by nicking Gaius' arm. "Tingles, doesn't it?" he said, scoring another cut across Gaius' chest. He cackled and danced away as Gaius swung furiously, making him miss every stroke. Changing direction he swung his shield, connecting with Diomedes' helmet. The force of the impact knocked him down, and Gaius pounced. Standing above Captain Diomedes he said, "Anything else to say there, my motor-mouth brother?" To which Diomedes replied, "Na, boring conversation anyway," and kicked Gaius off, knocking him down. Like lightning he was on Gaius, holding the razorsharp edge of his sword to his throat. "Besides, wanted a new more talkative partner anyway." Victory to Captain Diomedes!

Seahawk Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Battle 2 Captain Scissorhands moved into the combat area, and Chaplain Cassius entered from the other direction. Saluting to each other as warriors of old, it began. Cassius held his ground, firing at the slowly advancing Captain. The sights on his bolter were off though, sending his first shell into the wall behind Scissorhands. His second shot was true, setting his target alight with chemical fire. Captain Scissorhands simply shrugged off the flames, feeling neither discomfort nor anger. Gaining momentum he ploughed into the venerable Chaplain, bowling them both over in a tumble. Cassius was first to get to his feet, raining blows on Scissorhands that were deftly parried or blocked by the many powered blades on his arms. Scissorhands was able to to get up, forcing back Cassius and raking his power armor with his claws. Three times they were denied purchase, protected as he was by his faith in the Emperor (and the ancient Rosarius hanging around his neck). Cassius's Crozius Arcanum came down from on high, catching Scissorhands off balance and smashing into Scissorhands' shoulder pad, cutting deep and shocking him to the bone. Scissorhands recovered quickly, sneding a flurry of blows back the chaplain, but his long centuries of experience and skill saw him through, parrying away each attack. Terribly, the Rosarius around Cassius' neck shorted out under the intense attack, and Scissorhands' claws cut into Cassius' bionics and still living flesh. Stepping away from each other, Cassius spoke: "You are indeed worthy to go further in this competition, Captain Scissorhands. May the Emperor see you through to victory." Saluting again, they exited. Victory to Captain Scissorhands! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209147-bd-round-1-battles/#findComment-2500431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Battle 3 It was now late morning, and the sun's glow fashioned the chamber a golden tone as Codicier Altair and Honor-Guard Grand Champion Raideus entered the combat area. Saluting, they began. The two mighty warriors closed the distance, connecting in a clash of weapons and nameless shouts. Suddenly the room grew cold as Altair flexed the powers he wielded. The storm shield's power field flickered on and off, momentarily throwing off Raideus' balance and allowing Altair to get in a few good blows. Unfortunately for him, a storm shield is still a storm shield, and Raideus threw it up in defense, blocking all of Altairs attacks. They disengaged and circled around, with the frost still coating the storm shield and forcing its circuits out of whack. Raideus charged in, raining blow after blow on the Librarian, most getting blocked but enough getting through that suddenly the chill air turned even colder. Raideus immediately froze in place, frustratingly unable to move his limbs. You are indeed a better warrior than I, honored brother, he heard in his head, and he saw Altair staring straight into him it seemed. I must go now to our Chief Librarian. He has need of my resources in the coming conflicts. And with that the room warmed up, Raideus free to move his limbs again. He moved to the librarian and they clasped each other's forearms in the warrior's handshake, saying only, "It was an honor to compete with you, brother." Victory to Honor-Guard Grand Champion Raideus! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209147-bd-round-1-battles/#findComment-2500451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
