Anyone want to battle? My first battle in our new 4.0 Citadel is up and open for business. It's called The Dancing Stones (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?196-The-Dancing-Stones) and the specifics of the battle mechanics are posted in the thread. High or low level, doesn't matter. This arena allows for competitors of all types to compete and keep up.

If you're interested, feel free to post up and take the slot, but only if you're serious about finishing the thread please.

Is there scope for an Iron League triple threat? Its not gay in a three way, right?

It is totally a triple threat. And I am the blonde.

I'm up for a three way. Rev?

Sure, I'll pen you two in. Should make for interesting times with three people dropping stones.

Rev, do you have a link to your character profile? Just want to make sure I get descriptions right.
I couldn't find it in the character updates.

Philomel

Just so I have got this right, the arena is like a void, and in that void is a field of pillars. You said it was big, but not endless - is it then pillars as far as the eye can see.

I made a doodle from what I got from your description:

That's how I imagined it as well Ailsa :)

By the way i'll edit the thread title of the battle to be marked as an iron league match.

Here is a link to my profile. (http://www.althanas.com/oldworld/showthread.php?30780)It's been approved to be brought over since it hasn't changed. I should probably do an update because I'm two levels behind. Ugh.

Just so I have got this right, the arena is like a void, and in that void is a field of pillars. You said it was big, but not endless - is it then pillars as far as the eye can see.

Your drawing pretty much gets at what I was going for. There are a lot of pillars at the start with little in the way of gaps between them. As we start moving around, more and more pillars will drop, giving more room between the stable ones and making it harder to find a perch. The field is large but not infinite, maybe 50 meters across or so.

Also, I suppose there would be three starting platforms with three of us in the arena.

Philomel

09-01-2017, 08:04 AM

What is at the edge of the field? Is it just void where the pillars stop or are their walls?
I have posted, but will need to edit a little if there are three platforms. I just imagined Shinsou would appear on yours or mine :P

And I imagine there being nothing outside the pillars but bright blue sky and empty void. Also, the starting platforms should fall away after we leave them so as not to give any safe refuge.

And this is going to be fun. So we'll all be plumetting down whether we like it or not at the end.

Bit confused as it looks like you have shin appearing on the same platform as phi, but as read above there are three. Which means shin would need to get through the pillars to get to her and Veridian.

I described two other platforms so we need to decide that for succinct writing.

Shinsou Vaan Osiris

09-01-2017, 02:28 PM

I know. I thought it would make it interesting if he spawnfailed :P

Philomel

By how I understood what Rev had written they were forced to land on the platforms.

The starting platforms are falling away ...?!

This is going to be rather an annoyance for me as this arena is then almost impossible for Delath, Phi's dragon companion to come out. It was my one hope of having him come out, unless I just have him appear from the doorway ... oh well. Doorway suddenly expanding it is.

Eh, the platforms should fall away when the weight is taken off them. If you leave someone there you should be able to keep them safe. Safe-ish. Why? Why not!

Hey, Arcus. Wanna have a drinking contest partway through? But like a really angry one?

Oh? You'd rather murder me? Err, right.

Yeah, so I got about halfway through my next post and then took the family out to the Best in the West Rib-cookoff for lunch. Now we've all got the itis something fierce. I'll have the post tomorrow at the latest.

It was a feast! We had ribs, smoked turkey leg, pulled pork and cheddar fries, grilled chicken and cheese baked potatoes with bbq sauce, fried alligator on a stick, red beans and rice, hush puppies, grilled corn, watermelon, and peach cobbler.

I think I'm dying of fatty goodness.

Trying not to make excuses but my laptop literally split apart in my luggage as we were coming back from our trip so I'll be slightly delayed as I go out and buy a new one and set it up.

Hey Shin, a few edits.

Philomel cannot turn into a full goat on one post, she is just half, so she can still hold onto her blades. I do say "bipedal".

Fair, Delath is coming so have him appear. The plan will be to have him come up through the platform Veridian is still on with Mao.

Is Shin still on his platform then?

Shinsou Vaan Osiris

09-10-2017, 06:26 PM

Right. I'll get that edited.

Shin is still on his platform, aye.

Hoo-boy. Finally got my post together. Apologies for the wait. If'n I need to cut back on something, please let me know.

Philomel

Hey rev

Veridian is a fox, not a dragon btw ;) he's the one going through the transformation. Turns into a dire-wolf sized (might be bigger actually) fox on fire..

Delath the dragon has just been summoned. I did see in your previous post that you said all of Phi's friends are there - only phi and Veridian are. Veridian is remaining where he is so delath can come up. Delath moves through rock - he can literally eat anything.

Philomel is partly based on the Lore Master class on Lord of the Rings Online. That is all about summoning animals ... Sorry >_<

Philomel

I have posted

Basically, Veridian is now 5 metres long, 2.5 metres to the shoulder and darting for William. He sent a tongue of fire (that acts like a bite) at him, and is around his back now.
Philomel got hit by a shard of ice, she teleported and is now behind Delath. Delath is now using his Breath of the Vegetation ability on Stygian and Shinsou. It will drift on the wind towards Shinsou, and does nasty things in a couple of posts.
