Rini lost to Sidhe Li (Thanks Dal!)

[Dalamar]

Not judging here, but is Rini a dryad or something, seeing that he jumped 'into' a tree
"Hmm.... Neither defense is effective against the other's attack. And Sidhe Li has the more effective offense here. Round Sidhe Li! 3 points Sidhe Li, 1 point Rini."

Rini's shadow becomes even more transparent than it was before, now it is hard to see it.

Rini's 2nd Hand:
1: The whip tracks facing the marsh; blocks the cut of the sands!
2: The mace tracks upon the ocean; absorbs the rising of the ledge!
3: The scorpion glides by the vineyard; dominates the motion of the flower!
4: The nunchaku ravages the plain; fends off the descent of the shell!
5: The rat removes the grotto and speaks above the field; scatters the motion of the storm!

Sidhe Li's 2nd Hand:
1: The phoenix leaps over the well; blocks the descent of the sky!
2: The mace punches atop the cemetery so fast that it penetratesthe Lake of the Sacred Tortoise; absorbs the kick of the bone!
3: The lightning flips across the cliff; scatters the tempest of the horn!
4: The scorpion sings upon the paradise; redirects the assailment of the venom!
5: The staff mangles the sea; parts the edge of the garden!

 

[Rini]

Well, she can easily jump into the branches of a tree, and while she wishes she were a dryad, she is not.

This is not boding well...
time to change that.

CHI STRIKE!

~4: The nunchaku ravages the plain; fends off the descent of the shell!~

::The best defence being a good offense, Rini tries to keep landing hits::

 

[Wicht]

Hoping to lull Rini into a false sense of security, Sidhe Li does not retaliate but flipping over her, he focuses purely on defense.

The lightning flips across the cliff; scatters the tempest of the horn!

 

[Dalamar]

"A lightning sizzling with energy is a truely formidable force and thus the round would go to Sidhe Li. But not once have I seen a lightning flip, so the ravaging nunchaku takes the day. Round Rini! 2 points Rini, 3 points Sidhe Li."

This time it is Sidhe Li's shadow flickering but, after it stabilizes, it isn't yet as transparent as Rini's.

 

[Rini]

A-hem, I know this may sound silly, but Sidhe Li goes first this round, right?

Well, whatever he does, he's getting hacked out of the air.

 

[Wicht]

Now, hoping his timing is right, Sidhe Li brings his staff around in a hard fast arc, the tip angled right at Rini's stomach.

The staff mangles the sea; parts the edge of the garden!

 

[Rini]

~5: The rat removes the grotto and speaks above the field; scatters the motion of the storm!~

::Rini, knowing full well that this was coming, but not knowing a better way of fighting it at the time, kicked herself mentally. Trying to make the best of the situation, she tries to dodge his staff blows::

 

[Dalamar]

"Powerful attacks both. Hard to choose the winner. But in the end, Sidhe Li has a slightly more powerful move. Round and Match Sidhe Li!"

For a moment, Rini's shadow disappears completely. It comes back to vision as the match is declared to end and the shadows of both fighters return to normal.

Rini, better luck next time. You lost the match and become a Green Belt 1 with a record of 8-7. Remember to report this to your dojo.

Sidhe Li, you gained more experience in this fight, but are still one victory away from Brown Belt. You are a Green Belt 4 with a record of 13-6. Remember to tell the good news to your dojo master.

And that's all, folks. Hope I didn't make any glaring mistakes in your advancement.

 

[Rini]

::Rini bows to Dalamar::

There were no mistakes, you were an apt judge, and my opponent was strong. I have much work to do so that I may regain power.

::Rini bows to Sidhe Li::

You were an excellent opponent. I hope to have a match against you again some day.

::She bows once more to both, pivots, and leaves the way she came to train in her dojo::

 

[Wicht]

Sidhe Li, pleased at his victory also bows to the judges and then continues on his journey.
