[QUOTE="Maidenfine, post: 769078, member: 8927"] After the last two contestants, the "fishmen" were more than confident that they could take this one down. He was tall. Really tall. Too tall for any real muscle.The attendant look on as the first fishman stepped forward. As the fishman swung, the contestant easily moved to one side, returning with a light blow that only seemed to piss the fishman off. Two more men started to come forward but the first motioned them to stay back. This time, the fishman connected with his hit, but the contestant seemed unfazed. Finally, he didn't stop another fishman from coming forward. As the contestant flailed his sap about, the first man again missed. His new comrade hit, receiving a scowl. A third fishman came forward, striking a soft blow while the other two squabbled between themselves. As a fourth fishman joined the fray, traffic got congested and the men tripped over each other. Suddenly, the contestant hit, his blow taking the first man down. The attendant perked up. [I]Maybe this fight will be interesting after all.[/I] As a new fourth man entered the fray, he was unable to get a hit in before melting into the confusion around the contestant. Two of the fishmen managed to hit, their blows softened by the jostling of their comrades. Then, the contestant closed his eyes in concentration. [I]What is he doing[/I], thought the attendant. Several men took this opportunity to strike but there were more misses than hits as the contestant dodged, his eyes still closed. Suddenly, the contestant's eyes snapped open and he quickly took one man down. As a new man hesitantly stepped forward only one of the others held his ground to hit. He soon went down. As the remaining men regained their wits and promptly bludgeoned the contestant into unconsciousness, he managed to down another man. [I]He didn't win, but what a fight[/I], thought the attendant before shouting. "Three men downed for the tall foreigner! Any more challengers?" [/QUOTE]
