Enter the Arena as Your Avatar (v3)

Uh, no. 10pm is late when I have college the next day.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.

Damn it all. Homework or no, this boss is waltzing onto the playing field as soon as I can upload his mugshot, and he's bloody well going to fight the first bleeder as shows up.

And then we can spend the rest of the month arguing about where we're going to fight next.

Ponders too much; thinks too little. Currently goes by Knowlessman.

That still stands, FYI; I'm going to be on my computer later today.

The first bleeder who shows up, eh?

The Assassin was in the forest, sat idly on the ziggurat after falling from Laserazor Arena.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.

How convenient, I have time/ internet access again.

A Fearow takes flight from the tree it was roosted on and flaps its wings rapidly, sending a gust of wind at the Assassin.

I think I'm supposed to pick four moves for this guy? Um... Whirlwind, Drill Peck, Aerial Ace, Pursuit.

The Assassin disappears in a Smokebomb

Abilities: Sprint, Cloak, Smokebomb. Smokebomb allows superjump. Carries a kunai knife and a rapid-fire shuriken launcher.

Up to you. I would just have it do whatever a bird can do, plus maybe something weird if it learns something off-type naturally. Whatever makes sense.

'Bout two hours before I have access to my computer. I have a paper due tomorrow, though; just FYI. I'll try to multitask.

If you have a paper due, do the damn paper.

I actually like that idea a little more, I think I'll go with that. This one doesn't learn anything too weird anyways.

The Fearow persists with the gust to try and clear the smoke away.

Stopped at Publix; am contemplating how to start the paper. Am going to go ahead and at least upload the boss avatar.

-(The flaming table burns brightly.)-

Am now also contemplating how theatrical the boss's entrance should be.

EDIT: Derp. Turns out both pics are over 20k anyway. Damn stupid jpegs, and their bloody pixel clouds.

Bosspic uno's up. Anyone recognize him?

-(With a loud hiss, the roaring flame abruptly disappears. A thin, undulating wisp of smoke emanates from the middle of the stone table.)-

-(Thin as it is, it nevertheless reaches high into the air, and starts widening. Soon, a thick, ceiling-like cloud of smoke covers the sky, weaving into the upper canopy and blotting out most of the sun's light. A superficial night envelopes the Freeform Jungle.)-

And so dawns the Age of the Cobra. Happy New Year.

Fight starts tomorrow, once the boss has made his grand entrance. Feel free to get some infighting in in the meantime. Nighty-night.

OOC: Lol that hammy priest from El Dorado!

Cyrus is rather shocked by the smoke covering the sky, Was it a forest fire? No, He can't detect any heat from his goggles or smell burning trees and besides, If it was that dark, the entire place would have to be burning to produce that amount of smoke.

This is not natural...

The Specter captain then made his way to the pyramid, his movements as quiet as that of a Jaguar.

Shameless Self-promotion ho!

The Fearow settles on a tree and stares up at the ceiling of smoke.

Might have to leave suddenly. Just got here too, dangit.

-It's so great how I forgot to actually make my avatar the friggin' thing until just now.

Yawn. Fight starts either between or after classes (more likely after).

-Iku notices and fleis towards it-

I'mma drop the parentheses for non-character stuff. I'll just bold it.

-On the west side of the ziggurat, several stairs sink into the ground, stopping in a position to form a perfectly flat floor leading into the caverns under it.-

-A man dressed in traditional Mayincatec garb *

steps through, and onto the jungle floor. He says, to no one in particular, "At last, the cleansing of this place can commence in earnest. When I am finished with it, it will be suitable for gods. No more false deities. Now, to start..."-

-He raises an arm, and the wisp on the table broadens, and the fire roars up again, blazing higher and brighter than before. The smoke, now emanating from the fire, thickens into a wide column. The smoke cloud hovering around the treetops thickens too, engulfing the trees and dissolving the leaves and, eventually, branches off of them-

-Lowering his arm again, Tzekel Kan notices Iku and the Fearow. "Vermin, too? My, this will be fun."-

Note: The "no new players" thing in the OP doesn't count for those whose avatars were already in the jungle.

The Fearow takes off as the tree it is roosted on is engulfed. It fixes the man on the jungle floor with a glare then tucks in its wings and takes a dive with the intent to spear him through the heart.

-Retreats a few feet back under the ziggurat, and raises an arm-

-A single step rises in front of him to shield him from the Fearow-

Okay. No bold for something that a character is doing, bold for everything else.

The axolotl starts climbing the pyramid.

UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOI

The Fearow quickly unfurls its wings and ascends to avoid slamming into the obstruction. It lowers itself down to the ground and gives the wall a rapid series of pecks.

-The stone slab lowers-

-Tzekel Kan grins, and raises his arm again. With speed-

-The slab immediately below the wild Fearow rises violently-

Aaaand cue scaling issues! [tongue]

The Fearow pulls its neck back to prepare to attack the man with a talon but is immediately launched into the air by the step underneath it.

Seems like there aren't quite as many people around for this fight as there were in the other ones yet...

Yeah, I didn't give a week's notice this time.

-Takes a curved knife from some sheath, possibly hidden in the waist of his toga, and slashes his palm. Several drops of blood fall onto the stones, before green sparks play over the wound and close it-

-The blood on the stone starts to smoke-

Cyrus brings his canister rifle to bear and fires a hollow-point round at the high priest's chest, His practiced hands ensuring a very accurate shot with a small chance of a miss.

OOC:Cyrus is about 20 meters from the base of the ziggurat.
