Eschton [mature] IC - Calling Arabesu

Yet another OOC: I believe Lord Karnak is at 85 HP (238 -44 AoO damage -76 normal attacks -40 From Con loss +2 Fast Healing +5 Glimmerskin) and is prone at the start of his turn. After getting knocked down in his first turn, K. would have the option of a free stand via tumble. But doing so would make no sense since a) It would generate another AoO and b) Serraphina's turn would come immediately thereafter. From experiencing the sheer might of S.'s attack, Karnak can tell that he would essentially no chance of remaining standing during her turn. And if Karnak did get back up at the end of his turn, Serraphina would have the option of leading off with a trip attack.
 


Serraphina stands up straiter into a relaxed yet graceful stance. "Would you like to continue my young lord? Or perhaps try a different style of sparring?" And with that she looks at the ends of her chain a moment, and both flare so bright a white they can no longer be seen for their brilliance(daylight at will). Then she twirls them in opposite directions so fast that she cant even be seen between them before she launches herself into the air 15ft above the ground and hovers there waiting with an introspective little smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

Coughing up blood from the recent assault, Karnak tries to feebly rise from his prone position. "I...think...that...the...winner..of...this...match...has...been decided. It seems I have more to learn in the art of combat. Congratulations Miss Delecort."
 

Sigil applauds politely and looks at Melanoce. "Well bet," she says with a smile. "Five hundred, I believe?" She pours out some platinum coins into a small pouch and offers it.

To Seraphina she says, "I'm impressed. We could have used you in the war on my world."
 

Serraphina lightly swoops down and hoists Karnak to his feet as if he weighed next to nothing. The glow from the ends of her chain fades with a glance, but is replaced with a glow around her own burns, as she brushes some dust from his shoulder. spell like abaility: Cure serious wounds (3d8+13=23) "Some tactical practice is all you need my young lord. Focusing your studies on fewer paths may help in the future as well." With a deft snap of her wrists, she zips her chain back into its sheath. As she gently wraps an arm around his shoulders, her muscles tone back down to their slim graceful proportions, and escorts him out of the arena like they had been walking through a park on a first date. Her gown sizzles back into being as they leave without so much as a wave of the hand.
As the others join them again she graciously bows to the compliments. "You are too kind, your grace. My skills are rudimentary at best, but diplomacy can have many faces in my experience." She states with a sweetly innocent grin.
 

Melanoce applauds the winner and looks back at Sigil, for a moment she considers handing the money back to her as a gift, but then decides that might be taken as an insult, "Thank you, it all goes to show that appearances should never be trusted. Beauty and charm can conceal the heart of a killer, while a peaceloving soul can wear the looks of a monster." she smiles self-deprecatingly.
Turning back to Seraphina she bows and grins, "Most impressive. There are many who would pay extravagantly to learn the way of such perfection."
 

Lord Karnak's glimmerskin symbiont whispers into his mind, "We should have tumbled in and hit her with a Pouncing Strike or attempted a Swooping Dragon Strike milord. If it pleases you, I will not be so reticent in providing tactical advice." Though the words are deferential, there is a slightly prickly undertone to them.

OOC: Is there anything anyone wants to do before jumping ahead to the mission?
