It's time for the next bout of BattleCON! Will our contestants come on down!

In the blue corner, we have ThirdEmperor as Shekhtur: the heroic(?) thief!

In the red corner, we have Bigup DJ as Rexan: the overlord of Gesselheim!

The wheel of fate is turning. Get ready to Brawl! Ready? Go!

You know, I literally NEVER thought about that. I just saw a clash as a kind of game construct and never really fit it into my mental image of the game.

Nah, they're doing that thing where you're walking down a hallway and bump into someone, and you try to step aside to your left and they try to step aside to their right, and so on.
