Xathan

[ic]Xathan stands from his throne, as the crowd erupts with a chorus of noise, some cheers, some boos.

"The fight is ended! !mebea is the winner!"

At this, the crowd cheers. Some begin chanting his name, creating a chorus of clicks as they stumble over it.

"!mebea! your fallen foe lays before you! He did not yeild, so you have a choice: To finish him, or spare him?"

Different sections of the crowd begin chanting for different fates.[/ic]

Captain Obvious

[ic=!maeba] !maeba calls off his dogs as the mage stops struggling. He shoulder's his bow and walks to the fallen halfling. He then  speaks to the crowd.
"This was not a good fight. He did not get the chance to fight and die honourably. He was not ready for the fury of one blessed by the Lord of Bones. Praise be to  Mictlantecuhtli. Perhaps no one here was yet ready, but he and others will soon learn."
To Saren, "When you are ready, we will fight again. Until then I will take a token as a reminder of our fight to come," and with this !maeba draws one of his axes and slices off Saren's left ear and holds it up for the crowd to see. Then he continues, "When we fight again, either you will die honourably in battle and be welcomed into my Lord's halls, regardless of your personal choice of higher power, or I will go there myself and you can have this back.  Until then young one, take care. I would hate to face you in less than peak form."
With this, !maeba calls his dogs and walks from the arena, his bright feathered cloak flowing around him. [/ic]

Xathan

[ic]The crowd goes insane, cheering wildly after !maeba's speech, and letting out an excited roar as !maeba removes the fallen halfling's ear. Xathan grins down on the halfling.

"There you have it! These two may well meet again on this field of battle!"

A ugly, scaly humanoid rushes over to Saren and mutters a prayer in its hissing language. Instantly, his wounds begin to heal, and he regains concouisness. "Do you want me to resssstore you ear and remove your ssscarsss, halfling? Not all warriorsss want sssuch marksss removed."[/ic]

Túrin

[ic=Anden Spectacles]That sure was a quick fight. That halfling never knew what hit him apparently. I sure fear for his life, if ever there is a rematch! And ouch, after losing an ear to this Arena I doubt we'll see him in it again anytime soon.[/ic]

In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

[ic=Saren] "My ear," he says, feeling the side of his head, "what the hel- OH MY GOD!  THAT WHACKO TOOK MY EAR?!?!?!?" he shouts.  He takes a deep calming breath, trying not to pass out at the loss of his ear, "No," he says, "no, I think I'll get my own ear back."  He stands up, and walks off the field, muttering, "I am going to kill that crazy son of a-"[/ic]

[ic=Faro the Loud]Wh-- whoa! I'm glad I didn't blink, because I almost missed the match! Looks like this !maeba knows all the tricks when it comes to combat, but could still learn a thing or two about giving the crowd the show they paid for!

Looks like !maeba's challenging his opponent to a rematch by taking that ear. Just look at the way Saren carries himself off the field-- I bet we are going to get to see that rematch after all.[/ic]
