The act rushed forward, its claws outstretched and it leapt towards. Miraculously, it even managed to find a way through the thick armor, and hit. Its two scratches that followed after however only scratched at Jin's armor.

The cat would have exploded, but luckily even such a small feline had one of those handy teleportation badges to keep things PG 13.

In a flash of light the cat disappeared.

As the next round was prepared, you see in the distance what looked to be a robed figure, covered from brownish-black clothing. Apart from that, it was still too far to get any more details.

The person, if it was one, didn't say anything, though it gurgled a response. It dashed forward, and suddenly the light around him seemed to diminish, as if he surrounded by a shadowy light. By your estimation the globe around him seemed to stretch around 20 ft. around him.

The moment he reappeared, you struck out again. The angle was off, and you thought you missed again, but your weapon managed to strike at his shoulder. Immediately the stacks of elemental enchantments on the blade took effect and blasted the dark creature. It started smoking and spiraling into the ground, but a flash of light appeared, and the darkness that once covered you was gone.

An hour later, the arena opened up again, this time as the dust settled you see 115 ft. away a mound of something green.

It seemed to be agitated as its slime continued to reach forth in successive bursts like spasms.

An hour later the arena was cleared and the new challengers placed into combat. You didn't know what to expect, though you knew the fight was to be harder. Soon enough the next opponent was unveiled and before you stood a serpentine creature, like a wingless dragon, but had five heads attached to the body. It towered to maybe 24 ft. in height. Though even that was an estimation as the way the heads moved around and the necks coiled, that it made it difficult to get a good measure. Unlike the other previous rounds however, there was a sizeable crowd to this one. Most of the would-be adventurers had to stop at the fight before, and from here on out were perhaps the toughest the event organizers could get together.

Stepping forward, and using that momentum to carry you through, you pierced your sword straight into its chest. It must have been an artery or something vital, as blood gushed forth as the creature roared. Your blade and arms red with gore, the enchantments of your weapon activated as well, searing into the creature's vitals as crackles of lightning continued to be released from the attack.

It cried one more time, but eventually stopped moving.

However, for whatever reason, this time, the creature did not vanish.

A second later, you notice its wounds close up, and a deep grumbling emerged forth from the beast as it raised itself up again. You hardly registered the movement as its 5 heads came snapping at you in quick succession. You pulled out your shield just in time, blocking the heads, and narrowly dodging the large fangs that snapped at you.

An hour later as the arena was cleared up and you ushered back in, on the other side of the arena was a large creature of some sort. From your point of view, it looked like some sort of pile of flesh and blubber. It looked rotting, though you couldn't quite decide if it was undead or not. The most prominent feature of this rotting blob of flesh was a large and gaping maw filled with sharp teeth. There was a much larger crowd than even last match, and though it wasn't quite as full as during the time the Tournaments ran, it was getting there.

As you get closer to the creature, you smell a terrible odor. It was sickening to the stomach, and you keenly can smell the rotting flesh and gas that came out of the creature.

"I knew it," Jin immediately commented. "I've encountered that stench before..."

"You really are Dorf!"

[okay]Fortitude: [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+14 : 13 + 14, total 27[/blockquote][/okay]

The stench was horrible. But indeed as the smell wafted into your nostrils.

It was palatable.

You closed the distance, and you unleashed your weapon on it. Your blade cut through its flesh, and though the fire seared it, you noticed that the lightning from your gauntlets didn't seem to do much. Being so close to the creature, it's large maw struck out, clamping against your hard armor. You felt it squeeze hard on you, and you felt the damage keenly. But it wasn't that which gave you pause, it was the unbelievable stench that could only come from its mouth.

[info]Going to rule that since Constrict is added on to the attack, the mantle of flame only triggers once.

Also check Jin's sheet, remove one of your traits for Unorthodox Method, to get Silver Crane, as Defenders of the Realm does not do that.[/info]

[info]Martial traditions are intended to be used as templates, as should be clearly stated in the page that introduces them. Empyreal Guardians can grant Scarlet Throne, Empylol Guardians can grant Primal Fury, and Emperor Gundams can grant Thrashing Dragon. Point is, the martial traditions are flexible ideas designed to mold itself differently in every table. And if it still bothers you to slightly change the presets in this way, then just change Jin's "Defenders of the Realm" to a new custom tradition called "Defenders of the Galaxy."[/info]

[info]That was already a suggestion in the comments, post the details for the custom tradition under Custom Content. Also mention which specific entity, lord or nation, that is Jin's oath if you're still going with something similar to Defenders of the Realm. If you're not doing Defenders of the Realm for your oath, and making a custom one, specify the details of it and how it can be broken, etc.[/info]

[info]Assuming it isn't already dead, Jin attacks. Also, subtract 9 from Jin's 33 damage taken, from his martial power ability (there should have been a note about that on the very bottom of his roll as a reminder. In any case, he'll be doing the same this round too[/info]

An hour later as the arena was cleaned up and you ushered back in, you see some sort of humanoid creature 110 ft. away. It looked like it was completely covered in some hard armor, and you noticed the large pincer-like claw it had on its right hand. It seemed to breathe hard, as if it had trouble breathing, though as the creature began starting to move towards you, it didn't seem as if it affected any of its abilities.
