Test(Final) in the Kyriarchiki Arena

Test was a little impressed by the flexibility on display. But that didn't distract him from the fight. (Or from how good her rear felt.) He threw a quick jab as a follow up, steeling himself for the long fight ahead.

Memories of Mandy -> Old Reliable

(Memories of Mandy -Auto-)
(Old Reliable -roll 30- Success!)
(Idol of Love -roll 14- Crit Success!)

Test steeled his mind with memories of a certain maid as he swung at Maria.


The arrogant beauty stumbled back and all the light in the arena seemed to bend to create a perfect spotlight on her. Test could only stare, mesmerize as the light show seemed to enhance her already impressive beauty.


Test: 26 Willpower + MoM(3) + Stunned
Maria: 17 Stamina

Test's weapon lowered as he was caught of guard by how gorgeous his opponent one. For a moment he almost did feel bad about fighting her.

Stunned

(Distant Affection -roll 68- Success!)

Maria blew a kiss that launched a copy of her lips at Test. The projectile gave him a little smooch that made his heart throb so hard it sent him sailing backwards.


Test: 26 Willpower + MoM(2) + Charmed + Distant
Maria: 17 Stamina

Test scolded himself for getting distracted. Taking some deep, calming breaths as he began the long walk back to his opponent.

A Moment of Respite

(A Moment of Respite -Auto- Heal -roll 4- Success!)
(Group Wrap Up -roll 95- Crit Fail!)

As Test recovered and took his time, his opponent seemed to be offended that he wasn't rushing back to throw himself into her arms.


Test: 30 Willpower + MoM(1) + Charmed
Maria: 17 Stamina + Off Balance

Test gave her part of what she wanted. Rushing back to hit with the brunt of his halberd.

Overwhelm

(Overwhelm -Auto due to Off Balance!)
(Head Spinning Beauty -roll 91- Crit Fail!)


Maria stumbled back, her mouth agape in surprise at Test's fierce blow. It was as if that though that he was still trying to attack her never crossed her mind.


Test: 30 Willpower + Charmed
Maria: 13 Stamina + Off Balance

Was this one of their "Empresses"? It was almost sad. Test kept up the pressure. If it had been anywhere else he might have relented. But here he was unwilling to give an inch. He went to knock her down again since it worked so well last time.

Sweep

(Sweep -Auto due to Off Balance!)
(Get Up -roll 2- Crit Success!)
(Group Wrap Up -roll 60- Success!)

Test managed to knock her down, but this time she managed to land on her hand. She sprung into the air and ensnared his arms in her ribbons in one fluid motion. "I'll admit, I underestimated you." Maria told him as she landed on her feet.


Test: 30 Willpower + Charmed + Bound
Maria: 11 Stamina

"You wouldn't he the first." Test replied as he tried to rip out of her ribbons.

Burst Forth -> Memories of Mandy -> Triple Strike

(Burst Forth -Auto-)
(Memories of Mandy- Auto-
(Triple Strike -roll 71, 71, 92- 2 Fail and 1 Crit Success!)

Test tore his way free and charged at his opponent. Maria managed to dodge several of Test's strikes until he finally managed to land a blow to the side of his head.


Test: 30 Willpower + Charmed + MoM(3)
Maria: 9 Stamina

Seeing as how she was getting the hang of dodging his attacks Test backed up and let her come to him.

River Stance

(River Stance -roll 62- Success!)
(Head Spinning Beauty -roll 87- Crit Fail!)

Maria swung her arm, sending her ribbon to grab his leg, but Test stomped on it and pinned it under his foot, instead. As she struggled to get free, he struck her with his weapon.


Test: 30 Willpower + Charmed + MoM(2)
Maria: 7 Stamina + Off Balance

Test was dominating this fight. Probably best to get it over with before she had a chance to turn things around. Test took advantage of the fact that he was stepping on her ribbon to get another hit in.

Rush

(Rush -Auto due to Off Balance!)
(Ring of Seduction -roll 45- Fail!)

Test landed another heavy hit before the elegant beauty managed to get her ribbon free.



Test: 30 Willpower + Charmed + MoM(1)
Maria: 4 Stamina

Nothing to do now but keep attacking. She must be on the end of her rope. Or at least so Test thought.

Old Reliable

(Old Reliable -roll 88- Crit Success!)

Test struck her again, and Maria was left panting for breath as she struggled to stay standing.


Test: 30 Willpower + Charmed
Maria: 2 Stamina

"Are we done?" He asked. Ready to finish her if she didn't give in.

Old Reliable if attacked

(Old Reliable -roll 53- Fail!)
(Personal Present -roll 58-Success!)

"There is nothing elegant in surrender." Maria told him before she got her second wind. She waved her arms, and Test was once again completely tied up in her ribbons.



Test: 30 Willpower + Strong Bind
Maria: 2 Stamina

It seemed that she hadn't learned. Test just hoped he could recreate his escape trick a second time.

Burst Forth -> Old Reliable

(Burst Forth -Auto Fail!) (Already used it twice)
(Lovely Lashing -roll 63- Fail!)

"Oh?" Maria said as she raised an eyebrow in curious surprise at Test's failed escape attempt. "Has your strength left you?"


Test: 29 Willpower + Strong Bind
Maria: 2 Stamina

(I forgot. My bad.)

"Not yet." Test growled. Struggling with all his might.

Struggle -> Old Reliable

(Struggle -roll 29- Fail!)
(Lovely Lashings -roll 31- Fail!)

"Good, I'd hate for you to fall so easily after pushing me so far." Maria told him with tender smile.


Test: 28 Willpower + Strong Bind
Maria: 2 Stamina

"I won't." Test assured her. Continuing to fight against her ribbons.

Struggle -> Old Reliable
