Dax Vizsla versus Revora Kelborn
The Trial of Skill was meant to test a warrior’s ability to work alone and was the second stage of the Mandalorian tournament. In this round of fighting, two teams of one would battle for supremacy and to render the other fighter incapable of fighting back. If a Mandalorian could not work and defend themselves in single combat, then they were no use to the crusade. The Mand’alor and War Council would see who could not hold their own in this duel.
Situated in the fabled forests on the Expansion Region world of Umbara, this perilous arena is unique for its perpetual near-darkness. Thick trees are scattered about the arena, with dangerous roots lining the ground and making it hazardous to run around blindly. Thick underbrush conceals some of these roots, but there is a relatively clear area in the center of the arena. The tradeoff for fighting in the center, though, is that it’s far, far darker and thus harder to see. The edges of the arena have mysterious fungal growths that emit a small radius of light – enough to generally have pretty good vision of the immediate area for a few meters, but the root undergrowth is far denser here.
The two fighters would start opposite each other in the arena. Their loadouts, as before, were randomized.
Revy (@Caught in Strangereal) would be outfitted in the torso, back, and head armor of scavenged Sith trooper armor with both listed functions and carry two Model-B stun batons. The helmet for her armor was a tad too big and doesn’t fit quite right. The armor also has several burnt-out glowsticks attached to the arms and legs. They give off a faint glow. The armor was blood red and… probably was painted with actual blood. Yuck.
Dax (@Wit) would be outfitted in a full suit (minus torso) of brutus assault armor with a dart launcher and wielded shock boxing gloves and a fully loaded stun scattergun. The limiters on the gloves were removed and were equivalent to a Model-B stun baton. Attached to his shoulder was a toy bird, just like a pirate would have. Yarr! Instead of torso plating, he was given a funny cooking apron.
Several droids floated around, streaming the fight for the rest of the Mandalorian people. The Mand’alor and War Council would watch as well, judging the fighters on their skill, tenacity, and ability to adapt.
