Spyke vs. Bargon


The crowd awaits another grudge match.  This time its the Drow weaponsmaster
Bargon against the Deep Gnome newcomer Spyke.  As the doors open the crowd
sees the Drow Bargon.  He stands 5'7 and has ropy muscles covering his
entire frame. He has a tight six pack and his movements are fluid and
graceful.  Every move is in perfect balance and control.

Out of the other doors tumbles the blurry image of Spyke.  He is 3'4" of
moving rock, skin is the dull gray of stone with the similar chiseled
appearance of rock. He is bald with no facial hair, and a tattoo of a hammer
and an anvil on his left shoulder.  Spyke immediately stops tumbling and the
wiggles two fingers at Bargon, taunting the drow while he makes a more
menacing gesture with the other hand.

Spyke quickly closes the distance.  Bargon levels a wand a Spyke, a long
rope shots out of it.  But the rope disapates as it hits Spyke and he
continues  to move closer.  Bargon then shoots Spyke with the crossbow held
in his other hand and misses badly.

All of a sudden a sphere of darkness forms around Bargon.  Spyke hurls 6
darts into the darkness and hears 2 tinks.

Spyke then throws another 6 darts but must have twisted a muscle because
darts go flying everywhere.  Then Bargon shoots a single crossbow bolt at
Spyke and it hits.  Spyke wobbles alittle but recovers quickly.

Spyke dumps a box of caltrops into the darkness and says "Ok, you spawn of
orc/greenslime why don't you come out of that darkness where we can see each
other."  Spyke barely dodges a bolt that comes out of the darkness.  "No,
why don't you come in", Bargon says with a laugh.

Spyke circles around the darkness throwing another box of caltrops in.
Bargon shoots another arrow at Spyke, missing badly.  Spyke then moves over to the wall
and blends in. Bargon's next arrow doesn't come close to hitting Spyke.

The crowd is getting impatient with the lack of anything going on.  An arrow
wizzes out of the darkness and goes into the shadows near where Spyke
disappeared.  The arrow seems to hit something besides the wall.

Another arrow comes whizzing out of the darkness to hit Spyke before he can
react.  Spyke shrugs it off and moves close enough to throw six darts.  As
Spyke winds up to hurl his first dart into the darkness, he trips and his
dart goes flying out of his hand to harmlessly hit the ground  30' away.

Spyke quickly rights himself looking disgusted and gets hit with another
arrow for some small damage.  Spyke then throws six darts, hearing one go "tink"
and sizzling.  But Spyke immediately gets hit by and arrow.

Bargon gets off an arrow before Sypke can do anything and hits Sypke.  Spyke
starts to fall asleep but manages to stay awake.  Spyke then throws another
six darts, hearing "tink, tink".

Bargon misses.  Spyke hits with 3 darts and hears a different sound, but it
still sounds like darts bouncing off a solid object.

Another arrow flies out of the darkness and hits Spyke.  Then
Spyke is engulfed in darkness as the sphere moves forward two yards.  Spyke
backs up and throws 6 acid darts, hitting with four of them.

Bargon hits with an arrow and the darkness lurches forward again.  Spyke
hits three times before fumbling.

Bargon hits with another arrow and darkness lurches forward.  Spyke hits 4
times.

Bargon hits, the darkness lurches forward and Syke hits 3 times.

Spyke hits with four darts and Bargon misses.  The area of darkness continues
to creep forward.

Spyke is engulfed in darkness, he tries to back out and can't seem to get
out of it.  Spyke throws the darts at where he thinks Bargon is, missing
with the first dart and fumbling the second.  Then all of a sudden the
darkness is gone and Spyke finds himself surrounded by fog.

Bargon misses and Spyke also misses.  Spyke now suspects Bargon is keeping out of
dart range.

In the fog, darts and arrows fly.  All of a sudden the fog lifts and Spyke
is unconscious.  The healing clerics rush out to help Bargon who is very bad
shape, even though he is still standing.
