According to the cork board this Challenge was a long time in coming as Dizzy Flores first issued Challenge back in October of this year for the green Opal, Pathfinder. Due to circumstances beyond his control Harris D'Artanian had to be out of the realm for an extended period of time and Dizzy decided that rather than take the Opal by default she would wait until he returned and they could duke it out for it!
Now this isn't the first time that these two have fought over this prized gem of the Duel of Fists and last time Harris kept it but Dizzy isn't one to give up easily and so here she came back after it again.
From what I have read Dizzy looked right nice in an MI jacket and was determined when she arrived although Harris had theme music, a fog machine, and some kind of blue mouth piece that was disturbing in some way to those that were there.

The official for this match was none other than Liselotte herself. The Mithra put the two in a ring and let them have at each other for the prize.
It was two hard fought, tooth and nail, fights that both ended 5-4 in Dizzy's favor tonight though that had her going home with Pathfinder!

I couldn't say it better than this so I'm bringing this one to you straight from the cork as posted by Kalianna herself folks.
The Challenge for ShadoWeaver!
Rakeesh stood to defend his Opal as Jaycy faced off to take it.
He started out strong with a fancy dodge to her snap kick attempt and then quickly followed it up by sweeping down her flip, however she was quick to react to gain her first point by returning the favor of sweeping and taking out his flip attempt! (feint flip)
Jaycy then tied it up as she chopped down the (fancy) duck the Liontaur had crouched into.
The next round was intense as Rakeesh lost his balance from the last round, (sweep) and Jaycy eagerly helped him to stay that way with a nice push. (jab)
Not to be held down, Rakeesh gets up and spins (kicks) around to catch Jaycy sliding off to the side (fancy dodge) quickly, leaving the score once more tied.
It's a see saw match as the tie is broken by Jaycy with as she catches the front right paw shot out by the liontaur and immediately retaliates! Without skipping a beat, she secures the first win as Rakeesh tries to get low (fancy duck) and she gets lower! (sweep)
Round Number the Next One!
Jaycy tries to get out of his way (fancy dodge) but he was amped from the deficit he was facing and quickly sweeps her out of the first point!
Jaycy doesn't stay down long though and drops (fancy duck) under Rakeesh's attempt to give her a flying lesson.
Rakeesh then pulls it back up to a tie as he snap kicks his challenger down, and then immediately turns to fancily dodge the snap kick she retaliated with to take the lead!
|
Jaycy isn't having him lead for long though and ties it up with a fancy leap to the sweep he attempted. Rakeesh then countered with a teasing (feint) jab that caused Jaycy to duck (fancy) so he could uppercut her with his right hand for a point! 4-3 Rakeesh.
SUDDEN DEATH! The duel is on the line as Jaycy's sweet spin kick takes out Rakeesh's attempt to fancily derail any attack.. he just missed that one. She stunned him which caused him to reel back (fancy leap) which was lucky for him as she tried to clench the match with a sweep.
Round Three!
Jaycy's spin kick loses her the first point as Rakeesh jabs the first point in, he then slams home a second unanswered point as he fancily arm blocks the jump kicking opponent.
Both of them slammed in with jabs so that Jaycy got her first point but widened Rakeesh's lead to three. She then tried to jump kick him and take him off guard, but he had gotten his wits and easily flipped her and then to finish off the match he turned to sweep her down before she could return anything. (fancy arm block)
Rakeesh successfully retains ShadoWeaver for the fourth time in a row!

Topaz Datrazanov gained the Barony of Dragon's Gate on December 4, 2003 and has successfully defended it against all comers since. This landmark achievement has only been equaled by two others in the history of the Duel of Swords.
Her first defense was against Eddie Venom who had won an Overlord grant from then Overlord Damien Mortis which allowed him to Challenge the Baron or Baroness of his choice. This was a grueling match according to the histories as both duels went into overtime with the first score being 6-4.5 in 17 rounds and the second being 6-5 in 13 rounds.
|
Her second defense was against then Warlord, and Current Baron of Dockside, G'nort Dragoon Talanador. This Challenge did not come though until she had been Baroness for two years. The records state this was out of respect and that the entire Challenge took place respectfully and without any slander with Topaz defending with a 5-3 victory in 9 rounds.
You can read the details about her third Challenge, which was against Anubis Karos, in the back issue of The Oracle from October of this year. The current Overlord Cory Havoick interceded on behalf of his loyal Baroness and faced Anubis first. Then Topaz stepped into the ring and dueled to a 5-1 win in 8 rounds against the Challenger.
