The Games of Saberhaven
Drowlka vs. Guurnsh
        The minotaur waits, stamping his feet. His breath becomes the snort of an enraged bull about to charge. He hears them announcing his name. He lowers his head and tenses for a charge.
       The doors smash open as the minotaur flings the wooden distractions against the stone walls of the Arena. The bull-man charges across the playing field towards the calm looking Dark Elf wearing black chain mail. As he nears he notices her arms are falming with a strange dark glowing fire.
       Drowkla moves forward a few steps and stars to invoke the blessings of Lolth. Guurnsh fels a wave of nausea come over him, but he fights the light-headedness and charges on, more determined.
        He slows down his charge a bit and hurls his axe at the drow. The enchanted axe strikes the dark priestess in the upper right arm, with a "Crack!" of the bone. She screams in pain as her arm is useless.
        The minotaur draws his two-handed sword off his back and closes the remaining distance for an attack. The hurt preistess grabs her shortsword with her good left hand.
       The minotaur continues to rush in, but the dark elf stops her forward progress, concentrates on her brooch, and wills a pit to appear below the minotaur.
       He falls to the bottom the 15 foot deep pit.
       "MMMOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" bellows the raging bull-man from the bottom of the pit.
       As she peers over the edge, the fires an acid glob from a wand as he throws the missile.
       The missile explodes around her, but seems to do no damage.
       The acid splashes and sticks to the minoatur. burning into his skin.
       He sheaths his sword on his back and pulls himself out of the opposite side of the pit from the drow elf.
       The minotaur climbs from the pit, the acid still burning into his skin. He manages to pull himself clear, on the opposite side of the pit than the dark elf.
       As the minotaur emerges, Drowlka releases a vicious wall of swirling blades around him, cutting him with hundrededs of kicks and scrapes.
       Guurnsh once again draws his two-handed sword, lets out a shout and closes for close combat, moving quickly around the pit.
       The dark elf smiles and pulls her short sword and long dagger. The minotaur charges with his two-handed sword, finally ready to get into the melee.
       Drowkla lunges the the minotaur in an unexpected move and slices at his hand with her long dagger. Guurnsh screams in pain as she removes three fingers from his left hand.
       The minotaur chops down on the dark elf with his sword, catching her in the shoulder.
       Drowkla spins and slices twice with sword and dagger severely weakening the minotaur.
       He manages to pull his sword up for another chop and catch her again,t his time on the back of the leg.
       In his weakened state, the minotaur can hardly defend against the flurry of the elf's swords. She finally stikes the blow that spells the end for the minotaur.
       The priestess spits on the beast then calls to her god for all to see her victory.
       As she leaves the healers return the minotaur to consciousness.
