The Indefatigable 'Ten'
12/16/08 06:49 AM | Spurts
The first two warriors of the Keg'lin clan gathered in a dim light alley. Soon there would be more. Soon there would be carnage. The warriors partook of grain based liquids in anticipation of the struggle ahead and waited for the rest of the clan to arrive. Donning special footwear and stretching they loosed up in preparation of the nights conflict. Soon another warrior arrived and began taking off the heavy clothing so that he may have greater mobility when smiting the 'Ten' who would not stay down. This most Recent warrior, Rich, carried three orbs of power, the other two had only one each with which to strike at the 'Ten'. Rich also choose to prepare with a grain based liquids before facing the formidable 'Ten'.
The battle would rage in two separate alleys simultaneously. The alleys themselves were very narrow, just 41.5 inches from side to side and on either side a treacherous gutter that would neutralize a power orb. Between the alleys was a covered channel and a combatant need only hold his hand over the mouth of the channel and his power orb would flow back against gravity and rest with the other orbs waiting for the next barrage. The three waited, warming their insides and steeling themselves. Another arrived, then two more including the mighty female Reb'. There were enough. Enough to wage the conflict and the first skirmish was soon underway.
A warrior approached each alley at the same time, KRis on the left, Dav'Sh on the right. The 'Ten' lined up in a wedge like the powerful Roman armies that swept Gaul centuries before. It began.
The first orb smashed into their ranks leaving only one standing. In the other alley a similar fate awaited those 'Ten'. When necessary the orb was tossed a second time then the warrior would seed his position to the next in line. 'Ten' regrouped and stood facing each combatant in rapid succession.
Halfway through the first soiree two final champions arrived to help do battle. D'andrichik and his initiate JenDen, the second female warrior. The late arrivals watched and fraternized with the original group of warriors until each warrior had ten times faced the relentless 'Ten'.
Before the next soiree the warriors regrouped to better take on the fearless foe. The men of the Moniker Dave: Dav'B, D'andrichik, Dav'Sh and their ally Rich the three orbed dueler took the left flank, KRis, Reb, Chuk and JenDen the right. Through the night the battle raged. Five soirees in all though Reb and KRis retired before the final pair. Rich joined those of the right flank to cover the loss of two duelers and the 4th soiree continued unabated. More challengers retired and the final skirmish saw Rich on at the throat of one alley and Dav'Sh eager at the other. Alternating between the two alleys they sent fusillade after fusillade at the 'Ten' scattering and decimating their ranks. Throughout the evening the individuals kept score, but when it was all over and the alleys darkened, the 'Ten' again stood waiting for another day, another conflict.
Thus went another night of bowling practice.
