The Grand Tournament - Round One - Broken and Kallus

[Nor'baal]

”And you can see them to, if you head on over to our concessions stand, and get your very own tour ride around Endor, brought to you by Czerka Cruises!’’ the commentator added in his latest shout out, with a wink to the Czerka box off to the left of his. ”But onto the next contest, which sees a Reek facing off against no less than two fighters, Sota and some other man who we do not know the name of, how delightful!’’ he said, the audience remaining silent.

The main doors opened to reveal the beast, who looked rather sickly and underfed. ”Well. This could be brief.” the Commentar added, to a chorus of laughs from the audience.

OOC - You got rather lucky with your rolls here. @TheBrokenMadMan will face down @Kallus in this round, with Kallus NPCing a level one Reek. How scary. Once the round is over, you will switch, and then I shall role for you again :)

The beast player will go first, followed by the combatant.

 

[Kallus]

The reek blinked rapidly and shook its head as the door opened, momentarily dazzling it with the influx of bright light. It had been cooped up inside a cage for far too long, unable to run, stretch, or adequately work its muscles to the point that it felt physically weaker than it had before it's capture. It had been so enraged to find itself in that cage that it had charged the bars hoping to break through, at least until it had blunted its right horn. It it had only been fed scraps, and infrequently at that. Needless to say it was in a foul mood as it moved out of the holding pen, but seeing the two figures standing across the open ground it new that it would at least be eating well today

Pawing twice at the ground with its front left hoof the reek snorted, let out a low bellowing roar and charged at the larger of the two figures.

Sota and The Ragged Man couldn't help but shield their eyes as the blackness they stood in gave way to pure white, The Ragged Man actually recoiling and covering his whole face. Seeing this from the corner of her eye, Sota couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for the disheveled creature, he always seemed so lst since the day they met in this rathole. At least she was only here because Caiden finally got tired of her and threw her into this hole...he crawled in wanting to die. The chanting crowds and the smell of death filling the air, she hoped, would hopefully be enough to get him to stand one more time. The Ragged Man took considerably longer than her to stumble out into the arena, falling into the sand and weakly looking up at his surroundings before letting out a pained sneer.
"N-n-not enough I die in a hole...but to a c-crowd too..." He sighed, resigned to his fate, leaving Sota to just watch as the opposite doors opened. As opponents went, the fact that it was a poor excuse for a Reek served them well, maybe it would've let her throw some sense into him.
"You don't need to die here Crubern, would your mother want you to just give up?" She asked, keeping her eyes peeled on the creature as it slowly took note of it's surroundings and sniffed...coming to rest on the two of them. "She wouldn't have wanted me to waste my life killing people for twenty years, and yet..." He spat, looking at the Reek and seeing how it stared at him. In no mood for anymore talking, The Ragged Man stood and parted his arms, beckoning the Reek to take it's prey.
Sota wasn't really in the mood for a suicide run, so as the lumbering wretch started to move, Sota raised her rifle and took quick aim, firing off three blaster shots aimed for the eye region hoping to draw it off him and onto her. "Dammit Cru, pull yourself together!!!"
