Dale makes a quick change at Trevor, katar in hand. Trevor takes careful aim with bow, and unleashes an arrow directly at Dale’s chest. Dale sees the arrow coming and jumps out of the way at the last second. As Dale rolls to the side, the arrow whizzes by doing no harm. Dale springs up having put his katar away and draws his own bow. Trevor seems surprised as Dale stands up, stringing an arrow into his bow. But Trevor is able to pull out his quarterstaff, dropping his bow, and stand ready for the worst. Dale starts unleashing a hail of arrows upon Trevor. Trevor is able to spin and parry to avoid getting hit, while knocking the stray arrows out of the air with his quarterstaff. He slowly works his way closer to Dale and, in a daring move, spins his quarterstaff, hooking it on Dale’s bow string and ripping the whole bow from his hands. Trevor then brings the opposite end of the quarterstaff around, smashing it into Dale’s helmet. If Trevor was using his glaive he would have definitely beheaded Dale. Dale blacks out for a second and falls hard to the ground. Trevor raises quarterstaff above his head and begins to beat Dale’s body. Dale’s armor protects him until he reaches up and catches the other end of the quarterstaff. His hands scream with pain he tries to yank it from Trevor’s hands but Trevor’s grip is too strong and Dale instead pulls him to the ground. Both toss and turn on the ground trying to gain control of the quarterstaff. Dale holds on to the quarterstaff with one hand as he reaches for one of his sai. He pulls it out and jabs it towards Trevor’s hands. The main spike of the sai pierces Trevor’s gauntlet and is driven deep into Trevor’s wrist. This makes Trevor release his grip on the quarterstaff as he shrieks in pain. Dale jumps to his feet with his newly won quarterstaff and jabs it into the dirt so that it stands on its own. He sheaths his sai next to the other and pulls out his katar. He swings it several times straight through the quarterstaff cutting it into pieces and slowly destroying it. After eliminating Trevor’s weapon, Dale flourishes his katar and stands in a battle stance ready for the next attack. In this time Trevor has risen to his feet, blood running down his forearm, and reveals the glaive he carried on his back. They charge at each other and being to interlock in combat. Steel clangs against steel and Dale brings his katar down towards Trevor’s head. Trevor quickly blocks it with the shaft of his glaive held between his two hands. His glaive handle bows and Dale pulls his katar back and thrusts it towards Trevor’s chest. Trevor jumps a quick step backward, still holding his glaive in the same position, parallel to the ground with two hands. Instead of pulling his katar back towards himself, Dale swings it upward breaking the shaft of the glaive where it had been weakened. Trevor stares at his broken weapon but he thinks quickly. As Dale makes another jab at him, hoping to catch him off guard, Trevor spins clockwise as he moves to his left. Dale continues to move forward but Trevor is now behind him. Trevor pierces Dale’s back plate using the broken glaive handle with the blade attached. Trevor takes the upper hand and makes quick work of the fatally wounded Dale. Winner: Trevor the Tenacious

Kellie unleashes a war cry and rushes at Adam with her spear held out in front of her. She is not running that fast so Adam has time to fire off a few arrows. The first whizzes past her head, but the next two hit her in the thigh and the shoulder, piercing her armor. This doesn’t stop Kellie even though she has already begun to bleed. Adam replaces his bow with two short swords and flourishes them as Kellie takes the final steps towards him, arrows jutting out of her body. Kellie begins to jab at Adam, but he is able to easily deflect the thrusts. Adam is finally able to make an “X” with his sword blades pointing downward to force Kellie’s spear to the ground. Adam then kicks the spear and it breaks into two half pieces. Kellie reacts quickly and jumps backward avoiding Adam’s blades. Kellie now holds a spiked flail and once Adam sees it he takes a few steps back. Kellie begins to skillfully swing the flail, its spiked end flying past Adam’s body. Adam jumps and dodges the weapon and even gets knocked one of his swords knocked from his hands as he tries to defend himself. He can’t get close enough to attack with his short sword and he finally realizes that his glaive would be more effective. He sheaths his remaining sword and unleashes his glaive. Kellie continues to swing her flail near Adam, hoping to make a deadly strike. Adam takes the chance on Kellie’s backswings to stab at Kellie with his glaive. Most of the time the blade clanks harmlessly off her armor but sometimes he finds the holes in her armor and the blade on his glaive meets Kellie’s flesh. Both begin to tire of this repetitive fighting and then Adam finally makes his move. Adam waits for Kellie to get a little off balance, and then he grasps the glaive low on the shaft and swings it in a large circle, aiming for the soft meat of Kellie’s neck. But Adam judges Kellie’s swing wrong and before he knows it her flail is inches away from his right leg. A look of worry appears on his face as the flail smashes into his leg and its spikes drive deep into his thigh. Adam’s grip is released from his glaive and it goes flying far from the fight. Adam is launched from the impact of the blow as the flail is ripped from his leg. Blood pours from his wound as he grasps his leg. Kellie approaches the wounded Adam and raises her flail above her head for the fatal skull crushing blow. At the last second, Adam jumps back, unsheathing his sword with his right hand, and lands with his right knee and left hand touching the ground. The flail-head smashes into the dirt and is stuck there. Kellie looks bewildered as he tries to remove the weapon from the earth. Adam lunges forward launching himself into the air. Kellie puts her hands up to cover her face. Adam seems to hang in the air as he brings his sword across Kellie’s wrists, cutting off her hands. Adam’s feet land on her shoulders and force her body to the ground. Adam stands above Kellie as he raises his sword above his head. Kellie claws at Adam’s ankles with her bloody stumps as he drives his sword deep into Kellie’s skull. Winner: Adam the Annihilator

The battle begins and Samuel immediately hides behind his shield for fear of Forrest’s longbow. Forrest instead decides to charge Samuel, his glaive held out in front of him. By the time that Samuel realizes that no arrows are hitting his shield, Forrest’s glaive almost cleaves Samuel’s shield in two as it slices down, almost hitting Samuel’s arm. Forrest has just enough time to free his glaive from the shield before Samuel yanks it away. Forrest continues to jab at Samuel, trying to get around his shield and into his flesh. Forrest fakes for Samuel’s feet but instead brings his glaive in towards Samuel’s chest. Samuel brings his shield up as fast as he can and just misses the glaive. As he continues to bring the shield upward, he forces the glaive up with it. The shaft of the glaive slides along the edge of the shield. The blade on the glaive, once aimed for the chest, now slips between Sam’s helmet and his face. Forrest pulls back on his glaive and the blade leaves a deep cut in Samuel’s cheek. He grabs for his face as he drops his shield. Forrest goes in for the kill but his glaive is met with the fancy axe head of a halberd. Samuel and Forrest lock in combat. Their blades clash as they each wield their weapons like they were an extension of their own arms. Forrest seems to have the upper hand, while Samuel barely seems to block each blow. However, Forrest is clearly tiring as the battle continues. On one swing, their weapons interlock and they force each other’s weapons to the dirt. Forrest lets go with one hand and punches Samuel on his helmet near his cut cheek. Forrest’s fist shatters but he crushes in the side of Samuel’s helmet causing him immense pain on the side of his head. Both opponents release their weapons as they nurse their wounds. Blood coats the side of Samuel’s head clouding his vision. Samuel spies Forrest nursing his broken hand with his back to him and subsequently unsheathes his broadsword. He walks toward Forrest on silent feet, who is hunched over, seemingly nursing his hand, and raises his sword above his head. Just before Samuel is about to bring down his sword upon the unknowing Forrest, he spins around. Samuel is so surprised he freezes up. Forrest thrusts his arms forward, a dagger in one hand and a stiletto in the other. He jabs one forward into Samuel’s armor. As he pulls it back out, he jabs the other weapon forward. He alternates weapons, thrusting each forward in succession with spectacular speed and into Samuel’s ever bloodying chest. The broadsword slips out of Samuel’s hands which are still held above his head and lands point first in the dirt. He glances down at his chest a look of disbelief appearing on his face. The blood loss takes its toll and he slumps to the floor. Winner: Forrest the Foul
