The Assignment

[LordPsycho]

((Ok, to become a student of the Tiger style (aka to get one of the Tiger green belts once the new system is put into place), You'll need to fight two Tiger style characters. Considering I need to help get someone up to green, as a matter of formality, I'm putting up Blackfoot. If you think you match the Tiger style, come get some!))

*This assignment sucked. The Sensei had often asked him to do strange things, but to willing sit here and wait for an opponent to come up and get the first strike, was beyond dumb. But he didn't want to be stuck with extra chores again, like Violet was right now. So he sat, and he waited. Some one please hit him so that he can actually start fighting...please?*

((Yep, you even get first strike. DP needed a more unique way of punishing him...I think he found it.))

Whiteoak arrived with his full array of mental shields up, and empathically sharing a sense of friendship and trusting familiarity.

"Hey there Blackfoot, I ain't seen you in a while. Don't worry, I'm not even sure I want to be a Tiger. I'm just here to watch and make up my mind. ?Mind if I watch? I could help judge or something. Personally, I'll be curious to see who shows up."

Using telepathy, Whiteoak sends images of the wolftaur, Churitsu, appearing slightly behind Blackfoot, and to his left.

Looking over Blackfoot's left shoulder, Whiteoak exclaims:

"What in the world is that dong here!!"

and with that, he lifts his prosthetic hand and sends a strong blast of ice-
cold energy, focused on Blackfoot's left knee,

((that is not meant as a double attack, more like a 1-2 punch, or a feint and parry style move.))

[LordPsycho]

((Tricky...definately a Tiger attack combined with a Fox twist.))

Blackfoot quickly turned to face something he'd seen behind him when suddenly an ice cold blast hit the back of his left knee.

He shouts in pain as he transforms into his Gargoyle form, lifting off to swoop around behind Whiteoak.

He lands with a thud, ((DP's going to have to get onto him for that...good thing he's not a Fox)), and tries to swoop his tail around to sweep Whiteoak off of his feet.

[Shaon]

((Haha, the patron saint of foxes would be on his tail.

Also nice completely random use of my characters Shine ))

[Shine]

After producing the blast, Whiteoak's right hand had continued upward over his shoulder, and had grasped his staff. Detaching it from the backstrap, he pulled it to the ready as he saw Blackfoot transform. Turning to follow his flight path, he heard the thud, and the swish. From an opponent with a tail, a sweep is not entirely unexpected. He shao-lin summersaulted up and away, rakeing with his staff blade at the wing webbing on the exposed side wing as he went. He was not sure if the wings were soft or hard, but this would tell him that information, and if soft, might damage them enough to limit the flight ability.

He landed, crouched, ready for the return sweep, or a claw rake. Still nerves tingled in readiness, half expecting the unexpected. Nervously he began encanting a little song he knew to steel up his nerves for the coming battle.

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

((could there by a stange snorring sound coming from a sleeping gargoyle?? ?))

((No, no, my mistake, it was just a large bug, buzzing in the distance, which my hypersensitve ears, waiting for a counter attack happened to notice. ))

[LordPsycho]

((Sorry, been busy...It's on my to-do list...right under sleep, eat, shower, homework, class, work, and admin stuff...oh and the Tremors...We need shorter pieces of paper so we can stop writing such long to-do lists, don't we Embri))

[alakin1]

((Is it still possible too join in? Or is it too evil for Blackfoot to fight two people?))

[Shine]

Hey alakin1

Since DP is kind of tied up, and I made green with the new allowances, I'd be willing to spar if you want. Identify which character you are using, and jump in.

[alakin1]

((I'll be using Alakin.))

Alakin wandered into the Training Dojo/Wherever this takes place, with his invisibility on. Being careful to not make a noise, he started looking for the Tiger character he was meant to duel.

[Shine]

Whiteoak sensed a new presence in the room. But was this real, or was this a trick of Blackfoots? He didn't want to be distracted in the same way he had distracted Blackfoot, he was too sharp for that. Yet there was something more about this. Keeping his eyes on the Gargoyle, he nevertheless sense scanned the room more carefully, and clicked a few settings on his staff.

[alakin1]

Alakin saw Whiteoak, it was him he was to fight. Sneaking behind Whiteoak, he crouched reached to his spine, pulled off a poisonous quill, held it like a dagger, threw his invisibility off and lunged towards Whiteoak, the quill aimed for his neck.

[Shine]

(( Could you please indicate just how the poison might affect someone who gets hit with it? ))

[alakin1]

((The poison is acidic and causes blurred vision.))

[Shine]

Whiteoak is crouched, facing Blackfoot, holding his staff with the blade end forward (having just sliced at the gargoyle)

Though aware of the new presence, he caught sight of the shadow and the movement a bit too late, he activated a brief series of repulse-beam bursts (which comes from the base end, which is therefore pointing to his rear) and swept then through the area where the shadow and movements had been. Ducking and turning aside and around, he felt a sharp scratch on the side of his neck.

That was followed by a searing acidic pain,

As the turning completes, he slices now with the blade end, trying to focus his eyes on who or what might be there.
