[Clash Of Blades Season 1] Week 6: Telrenya vs Hirru

[Kindling 0]

 Bubbling seas of magma, pockets where it jetted out sometimes fifteen feet into the air, the entire ground clinging to the feet of those who walked onto it from the tar-like crust that formed atop the streams and rivers of the molten material below. What was not to love about the wonderful stretches of Floor Nine? This was a destination hot spot, a place of fiery passion just outside the reaches of Yalon Village on this floor. Well, okay. Maybe the heat wasn't to die for. Or the Fauna, made of twisting pillars of fire or having backs of dark rock that ebbed with the life blood of the earth below. Or even really the flora, often being more dangerous to stand near and breathe in the fumes of than to even touch. Other than those things, what was not to love? It wasn't as bad as it was prior to the slaying of the Hydra that defended this floor, and poured from its body, the ocean of liquid metal and elements. What brave rangers those must have been, to take on and defeat the creature with their limited gear and understanding of the world by then. The assortment of colors and personalities they must have came in, walking away from it likely with a new sense of camaraderie  and inside jokes. Today would hopefully be no different.

In those stretches, there was something of a clearing, or perhaps it was better described as a crater. A depression within the ground, flanked on all sides by spines and pillars to form a ridge around the nearly perfect hole in the center. The soot and ash creating perfectly parallel lines that converged on the center from those steep 'walls'. It was a perfect pit, and predictably, the turn out for such an arena was lower than normal. Those who were there would need to peek out over the side of the ridge, sitting on the side of it, or laying down to look down. Kindling had some he had handed cold water cannisters to, offering them some col to hand it out to anyone present who looked like they were about to fall over. The air shimmering with the heat, waving dramatically. Any bit of moisture that escaped the bodies of people or container sizzled and immediately disappeared. Leaving nothing but a few bubbles as the heat kidnapped it, and the sight of mist was choked as quickly as it formed. Kindling hoped Minako was staying warm on floor 4. She deserved that much comfort, with her mittens, and cute scarf...

There he was as well, that host. Sitting on the edge of the ridge, looking down into the pit. Wishing to all the heavens that he had at a minimum, brought a fan with him. If the combatants of the day could handle it, than he could too. He'd make it through the hours - with discipline. They would learn to respect the lengths he went to. His brows furrowed, gloved hand going up to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and push his mass of redhair back atop his head. Taking a deep breath, it was time to get this show on the road.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Volcanoes and Craters, Lava, Magma, and Phoenixes! Today, you might be most aware of - the weather!" Came the half joke, trying to keep things light, for his own sanity. "It's not going anywhere, and neither are we. Instead, it will be incorporated into today's fights. Those in attendance, and those coming up next, make sure to stay hydrated. My first aid skill can only do so very much for you. It cannot stop you from the fluid in your body evaporating, or the feeling of parchment in your throat." God how he wished that wasn't true. He'd be spamming the skill on himself at this very moment to get rid of those very symptoms. 

"Drink your water, and prepare to meet your first Combatant; She is fighting tooth and nail, cleaning up her record one battle at a time after a rocky start, ever so nice and a pretty good help when it comes to fighting a crab - IT'S TELRENYA!" Giving the first introduced a second to slide down into the pit without getting too dirty with all the ash. "And on the other side, a man who is a cactus, healing himself and using thorns to whittle down his enemies, a true hero to the frontliners with plenty of encouragement and support skills to help all who need it, one who will not give up even in this meta - IT'S HIRRU" 

Another deep breath was taken. Shouting in this heat made his cheat feel hollow, the exertion alone through the heavy, oppressive air was tougher than he thought.

"Take your stances, and speak to each other quickly. So that both of you can get out of here as fast as possible," And myself, for that matter - Came the thought of the host. Lifting his new spear, Pluto's Lament, into the air. The countdown beginning then.

 Welcome to the Sixth week of Clash of Blades - ICE AND FIRE! For this fight, and all fights hosted by @Kindling - you only need to worry about the Fire side of that. In this week, you will be subject to the Heatstroke Debuff - A permanent status effect that causes you to take 5 unmitigable damage for every multiple of 5 missing from your total energy. IE: If your max is 38 Energy, you will begin taking damage at 33, 28, etc.
This damage will be applied at the same time as your actions regardless of what those actions are. They will also account for current energy before actions that regenerate energy like Rest. When missing 30 total Energy from your max energy, that number doubles to 10 Damage. 
Make sure to watch those Energy bars!

Spoiler

• Please remember to LINK your Spreadsheet, and triple check that all your stats are correct. Failure to do so before the actual combat begins will result in a loss by default. Going forward, we will be taking a much more hardline stance on this rule. The reason for that is out of respect for the time and energy of the hosts, and your fellow participants. 
• TECH-A is disabled this week, and cannot be used. Get your stuns and CC somewhere else!
• @Telrenya @Hirru

Sweat beaded on Telrenya’s forehead and was quickly wiped away by the side of her hand. She pulled her wavy blonde hair back into a round bun to let the back of her neck breathe, but it would never be enough. The hot air was already making her lungs feel heavy, and the ash irritated her eyes as she carefully climbed over the edge of the pit and slid unsteadily down its side. She coughed once, then twice, and waved at the particles in front of her face in what quickly became a futile fanning motion. Fighting in this heat was going to be the absolute worst.

Her eyes landed on Hirru on the opposite side of the arena. She’d heard of him, but to her memory the two of them had never met. She only knew of him as a veteran frontliner, and concluded that his high defenses and healing abilities were his strengths in this tournament so far. Telrenya swallowed, her throat already dry. ”It’s nice to meet you.” The same-old pleasantries, though she did try to remain sincere. Something she realized weeks ago, back when the first roster was posted, was that most weeks she would be greeting a stranger.

Telrenya reached up to tuck a strand of loose hair behind her ear. She gripped the handle of her rapier at her hip with only a bit of certainty. ’Another good show.’ She instructed herself. The audience turnout was significantly lower than the last week’s, no doubt due to the difference in climate. But still, there were cheers when either of their names were announced. She drew in a large breath through her nose, the acrid air tickling at the back of her throat. Drawing her weapon, she readied herself into a fighting stance and awaited the end of the countdown.

This floor was something, if not a mess and a half.  They were fighting in a bloody crater this time around and there would be more of an issue if the floor decided that the crater needed filling soon.  He really didn't know how Kindling and Minako found these places, but the areas were becoming weirder and weirder as time got on.  Though, he was happy tp be away from the 29th floor any day.  That being said, sweating ones arse off was not one.  Thankfully, this tournament had worked in the hunter's favor and had allowed him to experiment on things that would help him out in future quests.  He didn't really need to fixate and stay with the support build, if he really didn't need to.  Most quests don't need Leadership to bolster damage or any cooldowns.  Though, that may change in the future.  No, the hunter was kind of glad that he could use his old skills more often, for now.

Hirru looked to his opponent and thought that he recognized them, but couldn't shake the feeling from where.  Scratching his green hair a bit before letting the memory come to him.  That's where the ole boy remembered the lass.

"Bialas!  That's where I remember you from.  I think you helped Cal, Jomei and Mac during that fight.  It's good to see you!  Though, this isn't really the best place for a conversation of this manner."

Putting on his helm, raising the angelic shield, and keeping himself low.  As he set himself into position, three little rings of light would encircle themselves around the healer's shield arm.  This would be there for the sake of this floor.  He was sure that something was going to happen with this new arena.  He could feel the ticking damage, if not for.. why was survival not negating the environmental damage?

”Oh…oh!” The name was familiar. Then so was he. Telrenya perked a bit, a shine coming back to her eyes. Bialas, her first boss fight. She’d been terrified, but she didn’t regret showing up and contributing. She briefly wondered if it was the same crowd toiling away on the frontlines. How many new and old faces appeared at those meetings. Would she recognize any of them? It seemed so long ago that she could hardly remember all of the people she fought alongside that time.

The smile froze on her face and her heart sank into her stomach. Of course Jomei was there. Hirru mentioned a couple of other names. Maybe they were all in her party. How many parties did they even have? Was Ruby there? Was Ruby there with her?

Questions piled on and began to plague her. She wasn’t sure how much time had passed since they’d unlocked the 23rd floor and it was torturing her. But she couldn’t get stuck on that right now. She was here now, and it was time to fight.

She ripped herself back to the task at hand and felt the sweat beading on her forehead. Her opponent stood across from her, armored and ready and waiting for her. Telrenya drew her rapier and her opposite hand pulsed with a yellow light that washed over her. She let out a steadying breath. Hirru’s words played back in her head and she formed a hasty response. ”You’re right. Given the choice, I think I’d better manage a chat on Floor 4.”

She dashed forward, but feinted. Before charging headlong at him, she needed just one piece of set-up first. She turned and quickly maneuvered herself behind him for just long enough to slap the «Heartbreaker» disc against his armor to have it latch in place. ”I hope to see you again there soon!” She chimed, referring to the frontlines.

Main Action - Use Item... «Heartbreaker» on Hirru (-2EN)

Swift Action - Hyperactive... (-5EN)

Heatstroke - 5 DMG (7EN missing)
