Fight Area Reveals

[Karl Jak]

As we get closer to the event (pre-registration is under a week away), I'll periodically release information on the various 'Fight Areas', along with any bonus 'Stipulations' they might include.  Likely one, maybe two per day, but we'll see.  I'm not sure how many Fight Areas I'll ultimately make (I imagine some will be used more than once in the event, so that I don't have to try and think up like... 60 of them).

#hypetrain, naturally

Here's the first two.

[spoiler]
“Dante’s Abyss: Budokai” – Both teams are transported into an empty, Eastern-style tournament ground.  There is an elevated stone platform surrounded by a short brick barrier that would normally keep the crowd away from the central platform.  North of the platform is an ornate brick wall with some eastern-style monsters and an archway. The backdrop is also filled with mountains and pretty trees, but the limits of the fight zone terminate just beyond this archway and just beyond the brick audience barriers.  The fight itself takes place on this platform, for a lovely dose of 'up close and personal' (apologies to you range fanatics).
 
Stipulation:  Fighters will battle until both members of one team have been thrown to the ground outside the platform (writers may obviously not roleplay eliminating their foes as that will be saved for the end post)

[spoiler]
The Clinic – The fight zone is roughly 2 by 2 acres.  From the edges of the Fight Area, the terrain gradually slopes upward, with a couple of trees here and there.  You’ll notice that it looks like a war has been fought here, because the ground is blown to hell and there are still splotches of dried blood here and there.  At the top of this hill is the remains of a humble clinic building.  For all intents and purposes, it looks like a stone clinic that a developed country would go build in a third-world nation, but the places has seen better days.  Its windows are blown apart, and the inside is something out of a horror movie.  Dried blood decorates most surfaces that haven’t been partially melted or scarred by explosives, although there are no bodies present.  It’s all very unnerving.
 
Stipulation:  No special stipulations
