I loved how the audience booed Pat, I really wanted her to be a villain and I was cheering for Malicia myself! I'm surprised with all the good ideas Doc could put in such a sketched out character as Pat! All these fights are really well written and I second that suggestion for a fighting gamebook series!

Lemmy knows he will have to enter in the arena again. He fears nothing, except losing the opportunity to find his Nemesis. He heard some rumors about Elexis : she might be the mistress of those circus games, gathering supernatural creatures in one place and promising insane gifts to find her new Chosen, leader of her ever growing army of mutants. She might be helped by her lover and right-hand, a mad scientist, named "The DOC".

Lemmy is now determinate to win the fight club, not for the promise of wonderful gifts, but to avoid the fall of mankind and all living species into a new age of decadence.

Wumpus eagerly awaits more friends to join the audience to cheer on the fights!

The new fights have been added to the Fight Club page. :)

I guess Zonk will be happy in the tavern with all that food. :)

With Malicia now being in the tavern, it's sad to see both the three headed cat and the three headed dog, Lily, out of the tournament. This round has not been easy for cats and dogs and fluffy hamsters. :( Glad Slick Cat made it to the next round, though. :)

Nexophorm didn't see that coming. :)

ROFL! Unexpectedly laughed at my own defeat! XD Funny thing is, that fight made me realize that Malicia might be my alter ego: cuz if Pat Ronizing flashed a similar painting at me, the power of sad kitty eyes would finish me too. ;)

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***
Upon entering the tavern, Malicia was immediately served three saucers of milk and it wasn't long before she felt much better. "Uncanny to find my fellow feline brethren all gathered here tonight. Was this our destiny all along? The Tavern?" Three-headed Malicia gently lapped up her milk, lost in her thoughts...

"Sad Kitty, No Milk. What a gripping piece of art that was!" Malicia's words were now trilling at the tip of her tongues. A battle hamster with flashy adamantium teeth caught her sight, but Malicia decided to quickly avert her eyes away from such blinding distractions. Instead, she studied the various paintings decorating the tavern's walls, her three pairs of eyes observing each work of art, independently and simultaneously. Malicia soon realized a pattern was emerging from those paintings, a pattern that made the hairs behind all three necks stiffen. "Did Pat Ronizing decorate the tavern walls with her artwork?" Malicia shuddered...

"There's a sad cat in every painting!"

A mysterious voice spoke from the shadows at the far end of the tavern: "You are partially correct, Malicia. Those paintings were indeed purchased from Pat's personal evil collection, but she is not the one who decorated the tavern walls with them. That person would be... (dramatic pause) ...the Mother of all Mothers In Law."

Don't look to where I'm painting -- I mean pointing. 👈

Fun facts: the saddest thing is that cats lack an enzyme called lactase and can't properly digest milk

Fight 22

(103) iPeach the 12th is propped against a pillar having borrowed a charger for a much needed energy boost.
The human/alien hybrid (97) Natali walks confidently into the arena.

* DICE ROLL 1 *
iPeach the 12th rolls 7
Natali rolls 9

iPeach looks to assault Natali's senses by blasting god-awful, modern auto-tuned pop music at her but the hybrid uses her power over wind and air to form a sound bubble around iPeach, resulting in her being the only one to hear the music.. The crowd shout their thanks to Natali.

* DICE ROLL 2 *
iPeach the 12th rolls 5
Natali rolls 11

Natali grabs hold of iPeach the 12th and says " I hear you are looking for a charger?". She plugs a cable into iPeach who is desperately cycle through her apps for a way to defend herself. Natali swings iPeach around and around her head, using her wind affinity to heighten the speed before letting go and watching iPeach fly clear out of the arena.

Natali takes a bow and leaves the arena.
iPeach the 12th is propped up on the bar, plugged into a socket and enjoying a nice relaxing charge.

I've asked Punington to handle fights 23 & 24.

Fight 25

The dulcet tones of (74) Quicktongue the Bard sends the crowd wild with with joy.
"Tis the season for drink and folly, falalalalaa-lalalalaa. Raining goo from the blobby wally, falalalalaa-lalalalaa."

Unmoved, (91) Ooblex the Gooblex slides its way into the arena. An oddly shaped alien dressed as the Bard (obviously a superfan) jumps down in front of Oooblex to taunt it. "You smell like feet, my skills are quite leet!" he proclaims excitedly.
Ooblex merely engulfs the idiot, quickly breaking it down into nutrition.

* DICE ROLL 1 *
Quicktongue the Bard 6
Ooblex the Gooblex 8

The Bard is in good voice and ignoring what happened to his fan, jests with the crowd.
Ooblex the Gooblex keeps advancing, encircling the Bard all around and even above.

* DICE ROLL 2 *
Quicktongue the Bard rolls 10
Ooblex the Gooblex rolls 3

The bard doesn't panic, whipping out two sharpened quills he prepares for battle "Ooblex old boy, prepare to meet your maker!"
Quicktongue runs jumps and whirls around with tremendous speed, slashing and stabbing while all the while keeping out of reach of the blobs embrace. The crowd watch on with baited breath unsure of their heroes fate through the blur of movement in front of them.

The dust settles and the Bard stands, panting, while surrounded by thousands of tiny little bits of the mighty Ooblex the Gooblex. He quips "For those who doubt that the pen is mightier than the sword, feast your eyes my friends, feast your eyes."
He bows and to rapturous applause, sweeps out of the arena.

Ooblex the Gooblex is in the tavern having been warned not to absorb any of the other patrons.

Well now, the Bard switched to skills and feats to make others write and sing tales of him. But I'm thinking he'll still (also) write the most thrilling and embellished version of the story himself and leak it into the world while feigning innocence :D

Ooblex the Gooblex embraces a frothy mug of something or other and contemplates the heretofore lack of the arts in his life and training...

The Fight Club page has been updated with the latest fights.

Sorry I didn't update it sooner, my Internet signal was down all day (it's now 2:00 am, the signal came back about half an hour ago), it's been malfunctioning for weeks. :(

It's late and I'm really tired, so I didn't even read the fights, I'll read them and comment tomorrow.

Yay, my girl won.

Feel little sorry for iPeach but cmon, auto-tuned pop music? He had it coming. :P

Quicktongue now has an entourage of fans to help him in the fights! :D

GG Ooblex, this was a close one.

Fight 23

(50) Lemmy the mutated lemur enters the arena so focused on his one aim in life that he doesn't even notice the crowd both cheering and jeering him. He keeps repeating to himself "Must kill Elexis Sinclaire".
The bald Dwarven sun soul monk called (62) Borzoi enters, resplendent in purple. He stops to offer a quick prayer to his God.

* DICE ROLL 1 *
Lemmy rolls 2
Borzoi rolls 10

Lemmy's eyes twitch as he struggles to keep his rage in check.
Borzoi calls out "hey, furball!", Lemmy bares his teeth at the insult "I've brought a friend with me today, look to your left in the crowd".
Lemmy turns his head and catches his breath. It's her, Elexis Sinclaire, the mad scientist who turned Lemmy into the monster he is today.

Lemmy lets out a primal scream of rage but suddenly goes quiet as he hits the ground with a thud, his brains spread out around him. Elexis blows the smoke from the barrel of her gun and smiles "Sorry darling, nothing personal but it was either you or me."

Borzoi gives thanks to his God for no blood marring his splendid purple robes and leaves the arena.
Lemmy is in the tavern playing darts with daggers.
