Description of opponent: A madman who uses his leisure time to decimate opponents in the arena. He adorns a a griffon's skull on his head. He uses magic rarely and relies on the strength of his mace. His name is Blud and his mace is known as Brute for its ferocity. Rumor has it that he smashed an ogre's skull with Brute.

"Alright everyone! Lets see who is brave enough to challenge this man. He uses superior fighting techiniques to destroy his armored opponent while they struggle to get through his loincloth. Are there any challengers brave enough to step up here?"

[Auroth]

Auroth walked into the area and stared down his oppoenent. "I;m Auroth" He said "Let the fight begin then..." Auroth then expanded his mind so that he could communicate with all the bugs. Auroth then looked upon the brute and smiled evily. "Come at me if you wish to taste the ground"

[Lord Pharen]

Blud gave a deep, almost inhuman, chortle. It sounded as though he were an ogre. He was a big man, but he would be a dwarf ogre at 7 2'. Blud was ammused by this... Auroth's statement.

"I enjoy the taste of the ground. But my question is do you? For I shall grind your bones into the earth and add another corpse to Yazuhata's eternal prison."

Blud smashed the ground with Brute. It was an inhuman blow to the ground. One thing was for sure about Blud, he was not to be trifled with. Blud concentrated on the floor of the arena. He made several pillars of stone rtise from the ground, carrying Auroth, Blud, and the Jester into the air. Theyw ere suspended about 20 meters in the air.

Jester: We are truly in for it now! Let us see who will be victorious in this match!

Blud bellowed and beat his chest with his free hand. He then placed both hands around Brute's handle and brought it up. He rested Brute on his shoulder.

"Come! Auroth of the insects, come and make me taste the ground! COME SO I MAY DRAW BLOOD!"

[Auroth]

Auroth was astonish that the dwarf ogre knew that his fighting style was that of using insects. To keep treu to his name, Auroth called forth insects from the arena and swarming them at Blud en mass. Auroth then draw his sword slowly, letting his insects get ont he blade and drop their poisons on it before they returned under Auroth's skin. He then glanced at his blade of poison.. "Heheheheh, one cut of this can paraylze a elephant" Auroth smiled eviliy as he watch Blud deal with his insects.

[Lord Pharen]

Blud let the insects crawl all over him. The reason for Blud being such a renowned warrior in this part was because he had no feeling. He could not feel anything. No pain, no cold, no warmth... It was an awful way to be, but everyone had their own facts of life. Blud awaited Auroth still, feeling naught.

"Is this how you fight? You hide behind your bugs? Do you have no honor? COME AND STRIKE ME DOWN!"

Blud smashed the pillar of stone he was on with Brute, and leaped backwards onto yet another platform, shaking off the buigs in the process.

"I hope you have the luxury of feel. That way you know when to give up." He stated as he rested Brute on the ground, right hand around Brute's hilt.

[Auroth]

Auroth narrowed his eyes as he realized that Blud was now immune to any physical harm that could bestow on him. Seeking a new strategy, Auroth unjarred a jar filled with four huge deadly poisonious spiders called Death leapers. Aside from thei poisonious Mouthes, they have extremly sharp claws. He then ordered them to attack and poison Blud as he called forth spiders to get over to Blud and poisen him. "Brains over Brawn...brains over Brawn" Auroth said as he looked at Blud.

[Lord Pharen]

"Again you openly insult me by pitting more of your bugs against me? Surely you think higher of someone of such high calibur as myself. And how are you using your brains? It would take forever for your puny bugs to traverse here. Can you not leap to another platform?"

Tired of waiting, Blud summoned the essence of stone at his side. It looked as though it were clay. He concentrated deeply and reached out for it with his left hand. As he gripped the clay, it formed into a javelin. Blud, being ambidextrious, hurled the spear at Auroth's platform. It shattered and broke apart. Blud wanted to see if Auroth would plummet to his death, or narrowly escape. Blud summoned a small pebble, the size of an ant, at his side. He put his left hand and opened his palm. The pebble levitated above it, ready to be launched as a powerful projectile, much like today's modern bullet.

[Auroth]

Auroth smiled as he saw the platform collapse, but he himself didn't move. Auroth stood tehre levitating in the air as he slowly made his way to antoerh platform. "You forget" Auroth said evily as he looked at Blud "I;m a mind mage, i use more then just my bugs to get around". Auroth then looked at that Rock in Bluds hand. He quickly took control of it and then sent it to hit his forehead with alot of Auroth's energy.

[Lord Pharen]

Blud simply split the pebble in half. He had no desire to fight from afar anymore. Blud roared as he leapt into the air, he landed on another platform, which was crushed by the enormous force of his land, and leaped up into the air again.

"A mind mage? Pathetic weakling."

Blud knew that the mage was using much energy to levitate in the air. He just had to throw im off his concentration and it would be all over. Blud summoned up two rocks, 5 inches in diameter each. He hurled them at Auroth.

[Auroth]

Auroth quickly got two swarms of insects to stop the rocks and then throw them back at Blud even harder. Auroth then landed onto a pillar and looked at Blud as he was jumping through the ari or falling from it. Auroth then sent a swarm of flies to go into Bluds thraot and start to suffocate him as Auroth menbtally grabbed him in the air. "Down you go" Auroth said as he used his mental powers to try and slam blud to the ground from the height the pillars were at.

[Lord Pharen]

Blud, seeing the insects coming, swung Brute in the midair and smashed through the swarm. Blud felt a force trying to smash him into the ground. He backflipped and landed on his feet. He concentrated hard on the elvated pieces of flooring. He summoned them back to their original state.

"Will you not attack me yourself? If not, I refuse to fight any further."

[Auroth]

Auroth looked at Blud in the eye and then draw his blade. He then elevated himself down onto the ground level and stared at Blud. His blade was already poisonious and deadly enough that Auroth didn;t have to do a thing. "Fine" Auroth said as he stared at Blud. "But no powers, nothing, just the weapons we have in our hands right now..."

[Lord Pharen]

"Ah, a warriors oath then. JESTER! A blade if you will."

Jester: Whats this? Now they are going into a match for honor? WHAT A DAY! WHAT A DAY! We have had many a match, but none such as this one.

The Jester pulls out a dagger and tosses it at Blud's feet.

Blud picked up the dagger, he approached Auroth and held out the dagger's hilt to him.

"Cut open your wrist and let your blood become one with your blade. That way if you kill me through means other than purely steel, I will die knowing what a dishonorable enemy you are.I may be a madman, but honor is the only object that keeps me alive."

[Auroth]

"Fine" Auroth said as he put his sowrd back. He could have poisoned his body, since his eyetem is already so use to the amount of poison already in his blood stream. But Auroth decided to agree and drew one of his knives in his belt and cut his wrist. "Lets Begin" Auroth called out as he rushed at Blud, his dagger was hidden under arm as he quickly sent a stab forward towards Blud's gut.

[Lord Pharen]

Blud saw the dagger plunged into his stomach. For the first time in his life, he could not reply upon Brute, his only friend and guardian. Blud grabbed Auroth's wrist and wrapped his huge right hand around AUroth's neck. He looked at Auroth in the eyes.

"Yazuhata will be glad to invite two new guests into his halls of torture, yes?" Blud said with a hint of fear.
