[OOC] Out of curiosity, one of my cons is that all damage taken when in mimic form is taken by the true form. Does this mean that I'd get hurt if I took the form of someone who was hurt, or would my form just be a mimic of the person without any injuries? [/OOC]

[Lupus590]

[OOC] @Gonow, I'd say no, as (for your character) it would not be a real wound. It would also imply that you would keep all of the diseases and genetic faults of the people you mimic, which would stack up over time and eventually make your character unplayable. [/OOC]

[Gonow32]

[OOC] @Lupus Okay, that's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying. [/OOC]
The Scribam turns to someone in the crowd. "Have you seen any strange groups around here recently?"

[Lupus590]

"Err, aside from the tournament which attracts all sorts of odd folk? No, although that bear seams particularly strange."

[Gonow32]

"Okay, thanks for your help, I'll investigate further once this fight is over."

[KnightMiner]

Will walks over to where Pulse landed and says "You made quite an entrance into this place. Are you also trying to find within the tournament a space? If so, the games have barely begun, although it occurs to me you might be in search of someone."

Will walks closer and extends his hand "Will is what you can call me, is there a name to which you agree?"

@KnightMiner How long does it take to come up with these rhymes? Because there really good

[OOC] In Cranium's absence, I will take up Nico. [/OOC]

With a terrified look on her face, Lynda shakes hands - err, paws - with Nico, who wears an eager grin.

Dave lifts an armoured arm towards Arcum, his eyes on Nico. "Finally a challenge!"

[OOC] Time for that experiment that I mentioned earlier, I'm placing two characters in 'open play'. By this I mean that the NPCs David and Lynda can be controlled by anyone, including forum members who don't have a character. Please check the player rules briefly before posting, and have fun! If this is an effective method of combat then I will consider doing it again in the future.[/OOC]

[CaosTECH]

Arcum shakes Dave's hand, secretly thinking to himself about how horribly this could go (Arrows Vs Armor, lets hope this isn't the "best" type of armor)

[OOC]
This 'Open Player' thing sounds like a good idea, it lets the viewers get a chance to interact also
[/OOC]

[Gonow32]

"I'm gonna need all my power later on," The Scribum says, converting to his true form while scanning for a relatively empty area.
[OOC] Open play may encourage more of the readers to create a character, as they might find that they enjoy controlling David/Lynda. Also, I'm considering the right time to introduce my character properly... [/OOC]

[Lupus590]

The contestants back up a few paces, David does one final check on his plate armour and Lynda opens her spellbook.

"BEGIN!"

David and Nico charge at each other, axes in hand and paw. Still in her starting spot, Lynda prepares a spell.

[OOC] Lynda and David are now in open play.

OP edit: added info about the new open play system. [/OOC]

[OOC]
This open play idea sounds interesting. I felt it was a bit awkward for the others during the battle with Will and Tom (as they cannot attack, left to just talking), so I can see part of the benefit behind it. I might even make a few actions with Lynda after Arcum makes his first move, as I have been wanting to try out a mage type character. (I have a mage character I've written, but no plans to switch to him anytime soon...)

@CaosTECH: For a single post: up to 10 minutes, though usually no more than 5. I basically come up with what I want to say, then try to find a good word within that to rhyme at (Googling rhymes for the word if needed). I sometimes end up trying multiple words before I find the right rhyme. Though his sentence structure can get a bit strange at times just to end on the right word.

Lynda casts 「distort」 on Nico.

[Lupus590]

The large bear is replaced by a near-invisible shimmery figure.

[H4X0RZ]

[OOC] Oh... Fail... Just realizing that Lynda fights AGAINST Nico... XD

Well, now it happened...

Sorry to everyone else participating in the "open play" xD
[/OOC]

[CaosTECH]

Arcum draws an arrow, and aims for precision, and releases. The arrow hits Lynda in the hip

[cptdeath58]

David charges at the bear and swings his axe and Nico parries the attack.
He then tries to ram him with his shoulder plates, but Nico, being a bear, is simply too large and strong for that and David instantly ricochets.
David then sees Lynda with an arrow in her hip and instantly changes targets to Arcum and charges him, going in for a tackle.

[Lupus590]

[OOC] Just to clarify, Nico is still a player character and so is not part of open play. Also, David has an axe, but I guess that he could also have a sword.
@H4x0rz, Distort also makes it hard for the effected character to see, so it's not a bad move.[/OOC]

[OOC]
Lol, my bad on that.
And I do understand Nico isn't part of open play so I did limit my actions in that area. (I.E the funny ricocheting off the bear.)
And the only reason why I actually even went through with it is because he hasn't been on in a while.
But the axe part I didn't see until now, my bad, I'll edit my post.

Nico attempts to intercept David's charge for Arcum.
