Storm Duelling

Written by: High Consultant Beya Storm
Date: Thursday, September 27th, 2012
Addressed to: Everyone


Ladies and gents, I have created, and over time perfected, a new form of
duel.

This will be known as 'Storm duelling' in honour of my father, Sobriquet
Storm and my sister, Dodder Storm. With these new rules, I hope to level
the duelling playing field for everyone.


Participants must have:

1 hammer tattoo.
1 shield tattoo.
1 moss tattoo.
1 boar tattoo.

1 non-class weapon they are proficient in.

They may not use:

* Vials.
* Venoms.
* Herbs/metals.
* Armours or shields.
* No class or weaponry skills.
* Blackjacks, songblessed rapiers or other modified weapons.
* Defences except starburst.
* Artefacts.
* Mounts.
* Dragonform.
* Any residual health bonuses given by artefacts.
* Or anything else which creates an unfair advantage.

To start a fight, Opponent one will raise their shield tattoo and touch
their moss and boar.

Opponent two will attack once with their weapon against their partner's
shield tattoo, then hammer Opponent one's shield and raise their own.
Repeat for Opponent two.

This will make it clear that both parties are ready and able to attack.

After a count of five, the fight will begin.

Both opponents must stay in the same room, and will not leave until they
submit to defeat or die.

All fighting is to be done by hand. Any healing is to be done via boar.
Breaking any of these rules results in a defeat. All defeats are final
and winners should not suffer retribution.

I fully hope to see this type of battle in action, and will be holding
an event for those brave enough to throw their artefacts to the side.

Keep an eye out for posters on the highway.

Sincerely,
Inventor and general entertainer,
-H.C. Beya Storm.

Penned by my hand on the 10th of Miraman, in the year 607 AF.
