Message: <blockquote data-quote="Manzanita" data-source="post: 4172048" data-attributes="member: 10109">The Centaur rears on his hindlegs and paws the air in anticipation of a duel.  He then hits the ground running, breaking into a charge at the black bishop.  At the last moment the bishop suddenly springs into motion, leaping upwards, wings snapping out from its back.  But the lance strikes true, directly into the chest.  Sparks fly, and small chunks of rock seem to spray out onto the marble floor.The black bishop veers, but still closes with the centaur, clawing with weapon-less hands, biting with huge teeth, and goring with its conical hat, splattering some of the centaur's blood.The centaur drops the lance, and draws the mace & smacks at the black bishop.  The heavy mace deflects harmlessly off the hard body of the flying bishop.  The bishop continues to flutter in the centaur's face, clawing, biting, and goring, and seems to be getting the better of the fight.  The centaur bucks, and tries kicking the bishop as well as smacking it with his mace.  The mace hits again, but again seems to do no damage, though it makes a loud bang.For a whole minute they duel.  The centaur is a skilled warrior, and strikes the creature many times, but its weapons and hooves seem muted, unable to do significant damage even when they score a solid hit.  The bishop is damaged several times, and its rock-like body is chipped, dented and scratched, but it finally lands on the centaur's back and sinks its fangs into the noble beast's neck.  The centaur topples, and the bishop alights gracefully on top of it.  The centaur slowly fades from veiw.The black king then waves his arm, and sends his surviving minotaur knight forward.Razh, from close range, can see the black bishop is in a sad state.  He suspects one axe blow would finish it off.</blockquote>
