battle rules

{read and follow, any questions just ask}

This battle will be for the lands once known as Coireacht. Since two equines have tried to set claim to the land, thy Majetsy, Grizmar and thy Highness, Arkoma, would like to see the land be battled for. Below are the following terms. I have used the random generator to see who goes first and that will be: @lightning

1.) Posts must at least reach 300 words and no more than 800 words
2.) 2 attacks and no dodges
3.) Each person as 4 days to reply
4.) Please use the form required in the rules
5.) @lightning - Since you are posting first, and to keep this short and sweet, we are going to run things much like how the Gladiator Tournament is ran. You get to attack with your first post. Have your character enter the area and have it set up where her opponent is across from her.

The weather conditions: It is the middle of Winter. So there is six inches of snow on the ground that has frozen over the night before, leaving the ground slippery. The snow fall is heavy and the wind is at about 20 mph, causing limited visibility.


Good luck, the King and Queen will be watching.

Pyro huffed, her breath showing in the air before being swept away by the harsh winds. The mare squinted, already feeling her annoyance building up to frustration. Why did the blasted wind have to act up on today of all days? If that wasn't bad enough the snow on the ground was slippery, though thankfully not very deep. Still she would have to be careful as she moved around, and she didn't like being careful in a fight. The mare much preferred going all out with no restraint. The mare huffed again and stretched her head forward, trying to see her opponent. It had made her glad that she needed to fight for land, she had been itching for some real action anyways. If she lost though....well, she would have to just deal with that when the time came.

Finally finding a form in the snow across from her the mare shifted her weight and position. The mare had the chance to strike first, something she would gladly do. Still, with the low visibility, it was hard to come up with a concrete plan of attack. Not that she was one to plan out a attack anyways. The mare normally just went with her instincts as she fought others. Though this fight was a tad bit important, and she had a lot more to lose if she failed, she figured her normal way of attack was fine. With that in mind she set herself forward, eyes squinted against the wind as she approached her opponent as fast as she could on the slippery ground. 

Once she was close enough, she hoped that the other equine was having as much problems seeing anything. The action of surprise attacks had always thrilled the mare and she shivered with anticipation. There was the head and neck, and Pyro quickly lashed out with her teeth aiming for the right shoulder blade. If her hit landed, she would make sure to take a chunk of skin with her, as something to snack on as she waited for this equines response. As she walked past, she glanced back and sent out a hearty kick, aiming for the back of her opponent's right front knee. 

Not even knowing if her attacks had landed, she stepped to the side, keeping a eye on the others actions carefully. The mare licked at her lips as she prepared for the retaliation of her foe. Her stance was more spread out than she would like to compensate for the slippery ground, but she still had the confidence that she could dodge at least one attack aimed at her. The mare focused on her foe and her breathing, trying to stay as calm as she could under the circumstances. Fighting in these conditions was hard enough without her losing her temper as well.

Name- Zombie Nation Breed- Friesian x Paint x QH Age- 15 Gender- Stallion Height- 17h Alliance- Dark Health- 100%     Thick white snow whirled through the battlefield as Zombie made his way to his destination. Ice covered the ground over the deep snow, causing each step to be precarious. Due to his heavy weight, most of his steps went through the top layer of ice causing uneven footing... And if one was not careful they could  easily break a limb.     After a slow and treacherous journey a small mare became visible through the snow. A would be thunderous laugh was lost in the wind as he looked down on the little mare. Was this an insult? He was denied a clear path to claim Coireacht for this? The mare was young and small, and appeared to be of pony heritage.. Maybe a mere 13 hands compared to his towering 17h frame.      Without much of a pause the mare lunged at him with all of her might through the snow, aiming for his neck and shoulder on his good side. Feeling her tiny mouth dig into his lower shoulder he attempted to sway back but his back left dagger had caught through the hole it had made in the ice. As she pulled away he could feel small bits of flesh go with it ; along with hot blood trickling down his chest to his right leg... Freezing almost immediately. In one fluid movement she kicked out with her back legs connecting with his ribs as she passed from her lunge leaving mild bruising and two small gashes. He knew she was attempting to take out his legs but he moved forward slightly to dislodge his dagger from the ground's icy grip; Causing her to miss her intended target. The icy wind lapped at his torn bleeding flesh, stinging. Ouch, that hurt. He said teasingly as he focused his one eyed gaze on the mare. Taunting, he laughed; Seem's like the King and Queen sent me a chew toy!     With the sting of the wind he could feel his open wounds hardening, the freezing skin ripping more as he moved. Lunging at the mare he bore down aiming between her poll and crest area hoping to grab and rip the back of her neck.. Possibly deep enough to connect with her spine. He retracted swiftly; briefly recovering from his lunge he then dove again. Slipping slightly as he moved forward he snaked his head lower ; this time his aim was for the mares throat latch hoping to crush her trachea in his powerful jaws. Retracting, he taunted again. Maybe they will let me keep you! I do love to... play.  Words: 430 Zohyd//  @lightning

The skin she had ripped off barely made a decent snack. Pyro swallowed what she had managed to keep in her mouth and gave a bloody grin as she tried to dodge his first attack. It hit, but not as hard as he had perhaps intended, leaving a gash at the back of her neck. The mare winced and laid her ears back flat as he spoke. Was he...underestimating her? Unwise of anyone to do so, to say the least. Pyro knew she may not win, but she wasn't leaving here without giving her all. Still as the cold wind met her open wound she winced again, almost missing his second attack. The mare backed away, at least avoiding the full force of his blow, but his head still collided with her neck, causing her to utter a gagging cough.

Her green orbs went to him with a glare as she caught her breath again, her hooves still carrying her away from the brute. Coughing some more, blood splattered to the ground, whether it was his or hers was not clear. The mare gritted her teeth, her frustration now a flame of anger. His words only fed the anger more and she lunged for him, now in a blind fury. This was how she fought the best, with no restraint on her emotions. The ground didn't provide her much purchase, so the full force of her fury was lost in the way she had to move towards the big brute. Still she was sure the brute didn't expect her to basically body slam him. The mare put all her weight into the action.

If it hit, it would at the very least stun him. It would be too lucky if he stumbled. As he gained recovery from her slam she aimed for his body with her teeth again, this time going for his stomach. This time trying to rip off a full mouthful of flesh to chew on as she pranced away in a sideways manner, eyes on his form. Still the fury raged within her, and she itched to attack him again, and would have if this wasn't a fight with rules. The mare bore her teeth at him, showing all her hate in a single glare. Blood dripped from her maw, freezing to her lip in the cold air. She ignored this fact as her gaze focused on the brute, ready for his next action.
