Merak Spielman, the Shadowed Poet's First Fight

[MerakSpielman]

Merak Spielman, the Shadowed Poet

OOC: My first fight here. I read the rules. Looks like fun. How do you all keep track of your character's career? Do you create a text file and just record the events?

Narrator:
Alas, as he browsed the various threads and boards in search of knowledge of the mysterious and arcane art of Dungeon Mastering, the innocent man was swept up into a world of martial combat. No longer the all powerful creater of worlds, the Dungeon Master entered a place where he was unknown, stripped of all titles and power. Behold as he begins a new path: that of the honor of the fight. Bastard, you bastard. Will he ever return to his forlorn D&D players? Only time can tell.

Me:

I challange any who has the time,
To meet me in this place.
An initial one-on-one
To slap me in the face.

Or if, by chance, I win the fight
To bow and accept defeat,
For I the Shadowed Poet am
And e'en you can, ('tis true!) be beat.

So come one foe and one judge, to see
The extent of the prowess inherent in me.



I find your friend to be cowardly, your farm to be valueless, and your karate to be awful.
To avoid this challange would be unlawful!

OOC: Hiya, welcome to YB! To answer your question quickly, you need to keep a record just below your stats, for example, for Kazz't's stats on page 2 it starts like this:

Record:
Kazz't Vs. Hanoi Xan (White Belt), lost, remained White Belt, gained 2 yen
Kazz't Vs. Crow (White Belt), won by default, Copper Sash 0 with Signature Style: West Wind, Profiteer, Arena Fighter, Bribe Judges and 1 yen

Just note who you fight, what rank they are, what ranks you lost/advanced and how many yen you gained at the fight.

If someone doesn't challenge you later on, i'll try and drag out one of my dusty ol' characters

OOC: Ah. So we're continually updating the post under Fighter Registration? I understand now.

I'm a Yellow 2 right now, so it's up to you whether or not you want to accept

Ah, my friend, I've nothing to lose
No matter the challange I face.
But you, with each fight, it would seem
Are taking the chance of disgrace.

Your challange is accepted, for better or worse
I feel the thrill of the fight that's impending!
But first we need await the grace of a judge
To help us impartially render an ending.

In the distance, the two fighters see a palanquin approaching. It is borne by four large men wearing lavender tunics. The palanquin itself is made from lavender silk and draped with lotus blossoms.

You hear a pretty soprano voice issue forth from the palanquin. "Ooo oo! A fight! Stop here so I can judge it!"

A lovely young woman emerges from the palanquin. She is wearing a long silk lavender dress, and she has a lotus in her dark hair.

"My name is Lady Wei, and I will judge this fight. I have decreed this match to take place at the heavens east of the Cherry Blossom Pagoda on the morning of the wolf."

Lady Wei: Journeyman Judge

 

[Creamsteak]

I find your employer and your person to be flatulent, your garden to be irrelevant, and your training to be timid.

((Yeah, that's right, you and your boss have gas!))

 

[MerakSpielman]

The Poet patiently awaits the determination of initiative.

M'lady, I can only hope beyond hope
And dream impossibly
That thy judgements could approach
The fairness in thee.

 

[Sabaron]

"Oooo... a poet. How sweet! You wouldn't believe how many grunting, sweaty, stupid thugs there are around here. I like you so much (and your insult is soooo much better) that you may choose the style and length of the match."

Lady Wei orders two of her entourage to fan her as she waits for his response.

 

[MerakSpielman]

I choose a standard
match at three flags for this fight
And will not be moved.

-a haiku by
Merak Spielman the Shadowed Poet

 

[Creamsteak]

You are a wise man. I accept your match, and will fight honorably. My honor shall not be contested, and my fighting style will at least provide a sufficient challenge.

Let's go:

The ki-rin devastates the shrine; redirects the rolling of the holy ground!
