Eh, the fight was run. No rerunning allowed. Write up some poo poo, mspaint a pic or something maybe. Prob didn't lose pics so could upload them and write some rear end.

It blows losing 30 mins of work, I understand the frustration.

I probably would have done the same because I hate all of you.

When I redo the double-elimination logic, I think I'll award points to both teams whenever there is a rematch like this, since it would make things more interesting.

As things stand, there's a good chance we'll get the same result. Strength++ winning I mean, not a one-line writeup.

Also, armor damage proved to be important as Landsknechtaur slowly but inevitably stabbed his way through the molemarian's armor.

Here's my summation of what happened going via the combat log

Hoofvs smashes big guy in the head with a platinum maul, but since the yeti is huge, nothing actually happens Chippy then hits Hoofs in the hand, and injures his hand enough via force of impact to make him drop his hammer. People get smacked around a lot but armor keeps much from happening. Lands stabs Dig Dug in the leg and hurts him a bit via force of impact, which enrages Dig, whom later hits Lands hard enough in the leg to hurt twist the minotaur's ankle, grounding him. Brutalist tries hitting Big Guy, but Brutal's steel axe can't get through the yeti's armor enough to hurt him enough. Land's copper pike doesn't have a problem punching through Dig Dug's iron boot and hitting with enough force to shred Dig's lower spine's nerves. Big Guy, meanwhile, ignores Brutal for a bit, and instead stabs at Hoofvs' armored head, doing a bit of nerve damage. Hoofvs ignores Big Guy to try to hit at Cheap, and manages to pull off an impressive display in catching Cheap's left hand with his Right Upper Arm (???), then performs a wrist lock (?????), and then stabs Cheap in the face with his horn (!!!!), but fails to do any real damage.

Status thus far is Hoofvs losing his weapon, Lands and Dig being floored, and, uh, I think thats it in terms of real significant damage. Lands and Dig are fighting each other, but the rest is a bit of daisy chain of hatred, with Big Guy hitting Hoofvs, Hoofvs trying to gore Cheap's head off, Cheap also swinging at Hoofvs, and Brutalist flailing at the abominable metal clad yeti. Hoofvs also becomes enraged at some point.

Hoofvs breaks Cheap's wrist, but Cheap has another axe, which is slaps at Hoofvs with to absolutely no effect. Hoofvs floors Cheap, but he just stands back up, and everyone just resumes playing the metal drums against each other. Lands fracture's Dig's arm with a pike stab, disarming the mole. Kool Aid now has two disarmed fighters against three still very nominally dangerous fighters, so, lol. Lands then goes to town on Dig, breaking bones with his pike stabs, and also putting out Dig's left eye. He then mercifully smashes through his iron helm, his skull, and his brain, making Dig the first death.

Big Guy slashes Hoofvs, somehow missing Hoofvs' helm entirely and instead blasting through his cheek. lodging it in there, somehow. Then he scratches out his teeth. Chippy chips in by wrenching his left elbow out of place. Big Guy then suddenly gets annoyed enough at the sounds of Brutal's axe bouncing off his armor to turn around and stab him in the face, and despite lacking the penetrating power of a cow with a long copper stick, he hits hard enough to paralyze the dwarf. Since that was the last Kool fighter with a weapon, that's probably the point where there's no chance of turnarounds.

Brutalist Architect (Kool): How fragile we are... Begone fear!

Aaaand after that, there's a whole lot of continued bonging noises as blows continue to mostly bounce off, or just turn joints to jelly. The two remaining Kool fighters pass out form exhaustion, Strength++ is collectivly too stupid to pull off helmets because they're idiot show offy jerks,. Cheap tries bending Hoofvs in funny ways but hoverhands instead, Big Guy bonks people in the head wondering where all the funny ringing noises are coming from, and eventually Lands crawls over and stabs people to death.

Sorry about that. The thing to know about this match is that everyone had full armor, so the minotaur with the spears was the only one able to land a tangible hit.

Match highlights -



The minotaurs both charge into the enemy team.



Cheap Chopper disarms Hoofvs and removes any hope the Kool-Aid Men had.



Strength++ uses their superior size to keep their enemies off balance.



Now I thought pikes could only de-limb small creatures. A pike has the quantum ability of being narrow enough to punch effortlessly through armor while being wide enough to sever limbs.



Big Guy gets in a decent blow. Hoofvs has already been disarmed and racked up a bunch of disabling joint injuries, so from this point on it's a race to murder town.

Fun trivia: only three things hurt Big Guy through his new armor. A platinum maul bruised him, a steel axe got through his gauntlets and cut his hand's fat, and a blow to the upper arm twisted the shoulder (which just... moved his shoulder I guess. No damage at all).

:siren: Round 7, Fight 1 :siren:



The Kool-Aid Men is on the left side of the arena.
Hoofvs McKenzie (Galick) is a male minotaur. He wields a platinum maul and a wooden shield and wears an iron helm, an iron mail shirt, an iron breast plate, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron high boots.
Brutalist Architect (Ramc) is a male dwarf. He wields an iron battleaxe and a steel battleaxe and wears an iron helm, an iron mail shirt, an iron breast plate, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron low boots.
Dig Dug (Bad Munki) is a male molemarian. He wields a copper pick and wears an iron helm, an iron mail shirt, an iron breast plate, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron low boots.

Strength++ is on the right side of the arena.
Big Guy (Tiler Kiwi) is a male yeti. He wields a bronze two-handed sword and wears an iron helm, a bronze mail shirt, an iron breast plate, bronze greaves, bronze gauntlets, and bronze low boots.
Cheap and Chippy Chopper (Added Space) is a male dwarf. He wields two iron battleaxes and wears an iron helm, three iron mail shirts, an iron breast plate, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron high boots.
Landsknechtaur (my dad) is a male minotaur. He wields a copper spear and a copper pike and wears a steel cap, a steel mail shirt, steel gauntlets, and steel high boots.



Strength++ is a 3.92 to 1 betting favorite in this match with 23641.00 dwarfbucks in total bets placed on them, compared to 6032.00 dwarfbucks for The Kool-Aid Men.

Doesn't look like either side has made any changes, so we're playing another game of minotaur tag. Let's see how it goes!



Cheap Chopper enters the first martial trance of the tournament before combat even starts!



Landsknechtaur is not wasting time and quickly paralyzes Dig Dug.



And there goes the maul once again, taken out of Hoofvs' hand in two shots.



Big Guy can't tell dwarves apart and smacks into Cheap Chopper. Racist.



And another hand lost. You're not in a time warp, folks.



Cheap Chopper completely dominates Brutalist Architect who can't land a hit on him.



How does that spear taste, moleman?

At this point there's nothing left but the stacatto hammering on armor and seeing if anyone can get a kill in before Landsknechtaur finishes everyone.



And the answer is no. Only Big Guy has a few scratches.

:siren:Strength++ has won the tournament! The Kool-Aid Men secure second place!

Kills:


Landsknechtaur – 3
