Lover's Heart

"She was perfection. She moved with such grace, I could do nothing but stare in awe as she struck me. Just as her sword had pierced my flank, her beauty had pierced my heart. "

- Zozorido Dodorido ~ Live, Love, Fight

Althyk's Eye

"As I inhaled the thick purple fog, I could see it all before my eyes. Past, present, future. I charged my foe head on, for I already knew the outcome. Victory would be mine. It already was."

- Zozorido Dodorido ~ Sword in the Sand

To imbibe in the Spinner's Silk is to surrender your entire being to the wheel of fate.

Rhalgr's Roar

Combat Rules

"Live, love, fight, for the next encounter could be your last."

Etiquette

There is no death/permanent injury, unless agreed to by you and your opponent prior to the fight.Be a good sport - this is a random game of /roll after all. Everyone wins some and loses some. It happens.Note
Each opiate applies a modifier to the rules described below. See further down for each opiate effect - only one opiate per fighter allowed.Opiate effects are not meant to be perfectly balanced. They are meant to be fun and provide a twist to the regular fighting experience.

Combat Rules (see next section for modifiers)

Start of CombatBoth opponents roll - highest roll gains initiative (attack).CombatThe Attacker RPs their attack, and rolls.The Defender rolls and RPs how the attack hits:
- If the defense roll is higher than the attack roll, the attack fails (dodge, parry, etc.);
- If the defense roll is lower than the attack roll, the attack succeeds.The Defender now becomes Attacker.Rinse and repeat.Winning conditions- Having 3 successful attacks means victory
- While we avoid doing so most of the time, depending on how busy the night is, a time limit may be imposed (usually ~30-35min).

Opiates

Each opiate applies a modifier to the rules described below. See further down for each opiate effect - only one opiate per fighter allowed.Opiate effects are not meant to be perfectly balanced. They are meant to be fun and provide a twist to the regular fighting experience. Feedback is always welcome in private.

The Lover's Heart

You fall in love with your opponent.
On your opponent's first attack, instead of defending yourself, describe how amazing, perfect and beautiful they are as they bludgeon you - your first defense is lost.

Althyk's Eye

Time is an illusion. You have seen the future.
When defending, do your defense roll prior to your opponent RPing their attack.
Time flows backward.
Your rolls are "inversed"! I will be reading them backwards!

Spinner's Silk

Your fate has been preordained.
Make all your rolls prior to the fight, and choose their order.
Your opponent will be rolling against the established rolls.

Rhalgr's Roar

You burn brightly...
You get the first and second attack.
... but you burn out fast.
Your opponent gets the next three attacks.

Twin's Bargain

Your soul and your deeds, both good and bad, are weighed equally.
You roll twice - the average of both rolls is what is taken into account.
