Darkshire - The Breach OOC fight thread

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Figured I'd make an OOC thread for this, for discussion and calling.

Rules:

Word Limit: 1000
Rounds: 3
Random Elements: on
Damage Meter: on

Fights larger than 1v1 will utilize a call system detailed at the end of this post. 1v1s will have 3 days per round unless the combatants wish to change this for whatever reason.

- Judge's discretion on whether or not the loser(s) is allowed to be executed
- The actual backdrop of the fight is just fodder and not much more than a location for most fights
- Participants are decided by what makes the most sense storywise/people's preference

THE CALL SYSTEM
Each round will last 5 days. During that time people are allowed to "call" a post. Once called that person has 2 hours to submit a post. At the end of the 2 hours, or if the person has posted, someone else is allowed to call. You can call to be next in line, but once the first person has posted or their 2 hours are up your time begins. This continues until everyone has posted or the 5 days are up. Judges will then have 1 day to tally up damages and so they have a chance to get caught up if they fall behind.[




Arena:

Darkshire Breach - Flank of Darkshire:

Kerrigan's Infested Terrans, however, have already acted. Sent alongside Skeletor's doom drill, the darkshire wall was undermined and collapsed by a force of explosive soldiers underneath it's foundation, and several explosions alongside the main burst occur within the town of darkshire and the nearby gatehouse at the same time. Zerg stalk through an ocean of rubble, hoping to make way for the larger demonic and wraithlike forces behind them. Okor's foresight here has been well-placed, however, as many guards have already appeared to push the hordes back. 

The Breach is a larger area filled with chunks of stone and rubble - The ruins of the wall create a host of makeshift terrain, as the cracked stone falls in uneven chunks across the field, and even inside the cobblestone roads of Darkshire., dot the area with sharp wedges of rock, and cause the air to be dusty and hard to see through in locations. Hydralisks Join Kerrigan's forces in attacking the beleaguered guard, and wicked barrages of organic spikes dance with hails of Arrows and catapult stones. Here, the battle is no less chaotic, but now, Darkshire's innards are exposed to this staging force, With refugees and civilians in full panic, rubble falling from the still crumbling walls, and pots of burning oil dropped by the surviving guards upon the wall, it's difficult just to survive the crossfire, much less fight your opponent.

I've now posted the Introduction post, so whoever would like to call first is welcome. The Round timer will start as soon as we have our first post up.
With that said: Who'd like to be the first fight post? If no one is willing, I am capable of making post 1, but I'd prefer someone else get a chance to write something here.

I have a bit of pre fight events i'd like to work into my post but I don't want it to eat up my wordcount. Can I make a pre fight post, or would you rather we go right into combat. I can do that as well, I'm ready to start.

quote it as an intro post, or put it into the storm rages if it's happening before the events detailed in "The Breach", would be my thoughts.
though we need to begin soon.

[Hiro Protagonist]

Ehh, we have a thousand word limit. I can trim it into the first round fight post, which I'll get done tonight. I'll post in the call thread before I write it.

[Sarah Kerrigan]

awesome. For the future, I'd note Kerrigan'd tend to be a lot more chill than that, even with Dave's Daveness rubbing her the wrong way.

[Hiro Protagonist]

Duly noted. I have zero experience with the character or series she's from.

[Strazio Rockwell]

Calling and posting yo.

oh and this is hardly the time ic to think about the full backstory, but if anyone is interested enough and isnt familiar with the lore, this is why Gamzee is so pissed at Dave. Relevant information stops after the text reads "This is Completely Pointless"

[Strazio Rockwell]

I believe that's everyone for the first round yeah?

[Ezrihel]

Real solid posts everyone! Sarah, you had some formatting errors (strange paragraph spacing, words capitalized that shouldn't have been capitalized, ect.) but otherwise I liked it a good deal, just work on the things I mentioned.
