Kindling

The sand made no sound at all beneath his feet. It wasn't needed to see that he was making painfully slow progress with each movement. No, instead of sound, the man's eyes could see it. A jacketed arm was folded as a visor in front of his face, rapped around such that most of his sightline directly ahead would simply be his elbow, and the cloth of his grey clothing. Using those two facts to shield himself from the gusts of wind that sent sand in a chaotic flurry, and filling the air with the sizzling of the particles hitting each other, and being picked up in large blankets. The time he had ta

A splash of cold water was always a nice way to wake up to reality. There was nothing more refreshing than having those crystal clear, ice cold droplets hit your face, granting reprieve from the collected sand, and the merciless beating of the Sun's heat against one's skin. Kindling thought so, anyway. To him, at this moment, this was life's greatest pleasure. That feeling of ridding himself of each minute particle of silica and dirt, dispelling the irritation that came with having such embed within his pores was exactly the relief he needed. His expression relaxed, jaw slack to simply experie

Sifting through his small inventory, Kindling was lost in thought. A hand on his chin, his face tilted down eyes turned up as he prepared for what to do next - knowing that danger lie ahead. Travelling alone was rarely a good idea, but with his limited ally pool, and distrust of the skills of others, what was he to do? Though as if to chastise that view from above, the UI blinked, then came the indication of an incoming message. A message from Telrenya, telling him his order was in. "That was... fast." Trying not to register his surprise even to himself. It was off to the 4th floor then, to

Wooden pews lined with soft fabric, not arranged in their normal rows with an alley in between, instead placed in a circle around the central podium, turning it much more into a stage, than a place of Worship. The stained and colored fragments of glass painted their beautiful picture along the marble-like, smooth flooring of granite and stone. It was a hell of a thing, to convince the Clergy of this cathedral to honor the traditions of the Players. Nothing that a few favors couldn't work out, and the assurance of supervision. Such supervision was already present here, speaking of which. Armore

Changes as Of Week 2 (Feb 16th, 2025) Rules for initiative have been changed. Players will roll as before, on their opening post, and if the last to post is the winner, they may make an attack. EXCEPT Attack or other actions involving rolls must be a separate roll from the initiative roll. Antidote Crystal can be used while under the effects of CC (Frozen/Stun/Paralyze/etc), but Antidote Potion cannot. First Aid will only cost 1 Extra Skill Slot to bring. Shatter has been nerfed to reduce mitigation by only 5 per stack for the duration of the competition. Cleansing or Curing a st

A grin, an open palm, and a slight turning away of his gaze from the two contestants was the response given to Yue Hua and her correction regarding bait. He'd need to get better about his fact checking, though hoped it was all in good fun. Letting both wish the other good fortune, as well as say their greetings. Though what Telrenya offered was less of a greeting and more of an echo. Start! The announcer hardly had time to think about just how pleasant that opening set of words were traded between the two. The latter of the two blinked forward incredibly quickly. "It seems those wol

Their weapons drawn, their words spoken. A grin tugged at the corners of his mouth, watching as Hirru encouraged his opponent. That was a tower of sportsmanship right there, that was a good contestant for a competitive environment. Exactly what he was hoping to see when this all started as an idea in his head. Sword and shield against an seemingly accursed blade. Not an unheard of, first of it's kind. Still, an interesting set piece for a player to have. Vigilon's mad dash forward started the fight in earnest, which only seemed to draw the kind words from his opponent. A support both physicall

Above the pit on Floor 1, where several fights were taking place all at once, were the stands. The seating, the Balconies; whatever you wanted to call it. Energetic Minako or more muted Kindling having introduced eight pairs of challengers throughout the day, lifting their hands to start each. A long day for each, though perhaps not as long for all of those who would choose to come and spectate. Lucky for them, following the sign ups, each match up was posted, or attempted to be messaged to each competitor, as well as where it would be. The Audience is reminded regularly to keep their weapons

A small, dilapidated circle of dirt and stone that definitely did not live up to the grandeur that it's name might imply.

One by one, the names came in. People finding their way to the designated spots. Many here knew each other; you had fought side by side in many battles. If their names were not familiar to you, their faces most certainly were. Still, there were those who had long lurked behind, their days in the golden light of the sun having past them by in the ages, while another might just find his first hint of daylight. Some still standing in it's brilliance. Many who didn't care to be any of those three things. Rising Stars and burning meteors; all set for a collision course! The red haired man spoke, a
