Amachi is also out due to her defaulting. Everyone else, you may find another spar. Damage: AMACHI - Defaulted VANA - moderate lacerations to right knee/hock - 2 OOC weeks ENIGMA - Severe bruise to thigh - 1.5 OOC weeks - Moderate lacerations to rump - 2 OOC weeks TAKIRA - Moderate bruise to left shoulder - 1 OOC week - Severe lacerations to left neck - 3 OOC weeks, requires a healer, will scar INTEGRA - Mild bruising to both shoulders - 4 OOC days LILLANNA - moderate lacerations to right shoulder - 2 OOC weeks Notes: Tips for writing and some suggestions. (no points are deducted here): EVERYONE Just so it’s out there, you must ATTEMPT your maim during the fight for it to be valid. Takira and Lillianna, if they were to win, wouldn’t have been able to maim cause they didn’t attempt it once. So attempt your maims, guys, even if it’s in round 1. RIVS ER, since you defaulted I don’t have much to say... TEAPOT MAN Vana is vicious. You were so close. Good job on reacting to multiple participants. DRAGON Work on your clarity, outlining how your moving not just that you moved. Be wary of others around you and not just your opponent. This is a whole massive melee, it’s not just you and Integra, so be wary of others placements and how that will affect you. Be sure to outline severity as well as where the attack actually lands. LUNS Not much to say that I haven’t said before~~ TASKE WOAH lady, I know it might be in Takira’s character but the level of sarcasm in that first paragraph of round 2 was a little much. Yes I get it that some things happen in spars that are dreadfully unfair, but it isn’t your job to point it out so...clearly. Just roll with these things, and you’ll get brownie points from the judges :) Work on your clarity, detailing WHERE you’re attacking, moving and how. Clarity is key in these spars, let me tell you. Also, make sure you attempt every type attack you make, even if it’s clenching your jaw. KEA You’re doing better, good job on reacting to this whole...wow episode. Be VERY wary of magic dodges. Even without Taske pointing it out so...clearly, I would have noticed that dodge of Wow. Take damage. Damage is better than missing out on clarity and PP. Trust me. Creative dodging is fine, but shuffling back to avoid two opponents is not. Work a little more on your clarity, and keep up the good work. - By [Arin]

It was his turn. Heart hammering, Angelus set his sights on a small (well, smaller than him) mostly black female from the opposing side. Her fight had just broken up and, seeing how his chances for glorious recognition were quickly dwindling, the yearling decided to go for it. She was going to be his and his parents were going to be proud when not one, but two of their kids came away victorious. With anticipation coiling in his belly, Angelus tensed all over; muscles bunching taunt as he slipped into his defenses. With practiced (if somewhat hurried; that woman was his!) ease, he widened his stance so that his paws were placed slightly over hip and shoulder width apart, and slipped into a loose-jointed crouch as his toes splayed to better grip the ground. He distributed his weight equally along all four paws as his tail rose to lay on the same plane as his spine. The yearling kept his head up, but tucked his chin so that the skin of his throat was loose and bunched. Angelus's eyes narrowed and his lips curled to bunch the skin along the bridge of his nose and around his eyes. His ears fell to rest against the back of his crown, Lastly, the boy's hackles rose to span the length and width of his back in a bristly, protective line. Nails biting into the earth, he kicked off and sought to close the distance between himself and his opponent as quickly as possible. He wanted to line the center of his chest up with the meaty outside of her right shoulder, and he didn't care if he had to weave around any still loitering participants from the last fight to do so. The height difference between the two was massive; with only giants for siblings Angelus didn't think he'd ever fought someone so short before. He'd have to modify his attacks for this one, that was for sure. Angelus sought to ram the center of his chest into the uppermost part of the meaty outside of his opponent's right shoulder. He wanted to hit it hard enough to fling her off her paws. As he aimed to do this, the brute also rolled his left shoulder forward and, hoping to use the bony front of it like a lance, attempted to drive it into the ribs of his opponent's right side, approximately five inches behind the bulk of her right shoulder and six inches below her spine in the hopes of driving the breath from her lungs. To round off his attacks, the boy also sought to bite into the neck of his opponent. To do so he snaked his head forward, jaws flinging wide, and attempted to drive his teeth into the top of Takira's neck where it connected to the base of her skull, hopefully catching both (the top of her neck and the base of her skull) in his grasp. Angelus wanted to sink his upper teeth into the left side of his opponent's neck/base of skull just to the left of her spine/skull and his lower teeth directly across from his uppers on the right side of her neck/skull. The boy intended to slam his jaws shut and attain a bone cracking grip. He would see victory today. Nothing was going to get in his way. ANGELUS versus TAKIRA for FORCE CLAIM Round ONE of TWO(?)

Naoise felt exhausted. Not one battle fought, but two, had left the son of Kar in a shaken state. His sight felt hazy, and pressing on with his wounds was becoming harder and harder. Naoise wanted to keep fighting, he truly did, but his strength was wearing away. He felt himself shifting towards the ground, his eyesight growing dark. “F-fuck.” Naoise spluttered. Despite his best efforts to protect himself his young body just wasn’t able to take it at all. He’d hit the ground, hard, last attacks falling away short of succession. Whether he liked it or not he belonged to Imperium now. "Talk" "You" Think

Table by:: Shelby

Every time a fight broke up and Bass looked for an opponent, someone else jumped in before him. He shook his head and let out a smooth chuckle, too tense to sit but feeling like it. He hummed as he bumped against Valentine's shoulder, his nose flicking up to Cascade as she raced in at the first chance of battle. "Maybe I spoke too soon, I think she's after someone for you." He said softly. With a sharp sigh his tail flicked behind him, it would seem that it would be pointless. Slowly Hellstrom members were falling, but they didn't fall alone. Worry flickered across his gaze as a few of his own members were taken down as well, but he knew that they would make their way to Starling. Bass knew that his son would be there waiting for the injured, and forced himself to take a steady breath. This would be over soon, the fighters were getting tired and Sin's pack was breaking away. All of this would be over soon, he could feel it. See it. Golden gaze flickered over to Valentine before he eyed the few fights around him, blinking away his worries. Soon.

"Speech"
'thoughts'

The woman was battered, bruised, sore. Her left eye had lot all vision from the larger woman's attack, though whether or not that was permanent had yet to be seen. Arietta would back off, uttering a snarl all the same. She'd glance around her at her fellow Hellstrom wolves. Her mate and son were both maimed as well, though even more horribly so for her son. Arietta's good eye would widen with horror, almost ready to choke. How could someone do that... do that to her baby? Arietta felt her stomach twisting in knots. The Imperium and Abaven wolves thought of them as cowards, yet who called for back up? Who had fought gallantly, despite the fact that they were severely outnumbered? If anything it was her enemies who were the cowards. Bringing a force they need not have brought for the sole purpose of crushing a pack to the very core. A glare would be given to her opponent as Arietta backed off. She felt sickened. Sickened and bitter. This was far from the end, whether Hellstrom feel here today or not. Not a word was uttered as the femme turned tail, racing from the area to seek out those who were not part of the battle.

Satisfied with the toll paid by the autumn-colored Hellstrom woman Birna moved away to let the other tend to her wounds as she licked the blood from her own stained teeth. This siege… well it hadn't really been a battle, if anything it was a massacre and she would give the woman credit for fighting her but she would not give her sympathy. War wasn't fair and only fools and children thought otherwise. It brought out the cruelest urges in everyone as shown clearly by both sides in their intent to destroy one another. She felt suddenly tired, the pent up blood-lust that had been building for months within Imperium had finally been drained from her and she was content… for the most part. Pausing Birna eyed the lacerations across her hips which she determined to just out of licking range. Dam. She glanced about to see if anyone was looking before she tried to fold herself in half, tongue reaching out to lick futiley at her wounds. Daaaaaammmm. She was going to have to have someone help her. Oh, she didn't like the thought at all! She glanced towards Integra, the only field medic in the crew, but then wrinkled her nose as she realized just where Integra's mouth had been. Nooooo thank you. She was just going to sit here and relax til Valentine gave the word to move out. ""

 

Blood dripped down her chin, staining her snowy-pelt an unholy shade of crimson, her oozing prize held tightly between her teeth.  Her heart was hammering, the thudding sound of blood racing through her ears nearly deafening as realization began to dawn on her that she had done it.  Surely this was a feat that would stand as proof of not only her loyalty but her ferocity and skill as well!  She could almost feel tears welling in her eyes at the thought of greeting her family as a free woman.  Eyes would turn momentarily to the sky, a beautiful, clear autumn sky and she wondered if her parents and Bella were looking down at her and cheering her on.  Daughter of the King and Queen of Fehu, royalty in her own right.  She swore she could see them grinning down at her! Pride welled within her chest as she practically pranced over to Valentine, dropping the mutilated mess at his feet like a cat dropping a half-dead mouse on its owners door step.   She grinned up at him. "I've set my fangs to your enemies, Rex, in the most vicious of ways, and I bring you a token of my loyalty to Imperium."

And the winner is...

TEAM IMPERAVEN

Due to Hellstrom dissolving, Abaven and Imperium win the entirety of the seige. Please complete current fights! No new fights may begin. Congratulations alphas, take your spoils.

Horrors, horrors surround Takira, as a cry and a snarl fills the air she turned to find N's... Man bits in the teeth of another... Her heart sank as the implication that her affections with this male would not lead to children, that the family she had been secretly dreaming about would not come to pass. Her heart nearly stopped, and as she watched the bitch trot away with them and drop them at the usurpers paws she howled in rage! All pain forgotten she sprang forward intent on getting to that bitch and then putting her in the ground! But as she was about halfway to her target a male darted at her. Her eyes widened slightly at the size of the male, He was HUGE and the shear momentum could knock her on her ass. She took on last leap forward, dodging the male entirely. Stopping about a foot from him; the large male(Angelus) was still at a 90 degree angle, if he had not moved. Her blood pooled below her as the wound on her neck continued to bleed, but anger and pure adrenaline pulsed in her blood, she could not feel the pain, she could not even feel her leg anymore. No she was pissed and no one would stand in her way to kill that bitch. Takira steeled herself, tucking her tail, fluffing the fur along her neck. She lowered her head, protecting the underside of her neck. She Bearing her teeth as she growled. Also she flattened her ears and dug her claws into the earth for better traction after she dodged the male. As a last defense she bent her joints slightly. With those in place Takira swung out her left back leg, aiming for the males ribs, attempting to knock the breath out of him. Whether she hit or missed him she would put her paw back under her and then turn, facing him. She had not changed her angle, but instead of her back to him her face was. She would close the distance to him with a small lunge, trying to slam her mass into him, her goal was to slam her right shoulder joint into his ribs right behind his front leg. Her next attack would be to (attempt to) take a swipe with her front right paw, hoping to trip the male, if nothing more distract him enough that he would miss her final move. She would seek to tear at the flesh at his neck with her teeth, her aim was for the spot that was a few inches in front of his shoulder low on his neck. ANGELUS versus TAKIRA for FORCE CLAIM Round ONE of TWO

Pleasure. Pleasure was sparked deep within the russet female, roaring inside of her. Her head was lifted, proudly, and her head dipped to Vana; she would have done the same to Integra, had not the woman gone straight to Valentine. A single survey of the field would show that Takira was the only one left standing, and a vicious grin formed on Lillie's maw and she started for the female - only to have one of Imperium's warriors start first. She recognized the boy immediately; it was Angelus, son of Valentine, and the heir of Imperium. She skidded to a stop; it did not seem as if it was a maim fight, but rather... as if Angelus had the intent on beating Takira and taking her back to his father.

Lillianna changed course for Bass, coming to a halt in front of him, next to Integra. While the other woman's focus was on her alpha, Lillianna's was on Bass. Her pride in herself was shining in her eyes; the aftermath of the battle having her tail curl over her back. "Permission to go to the Avian Sanctuary to get my wounds treated?" she questioned, her breath light and fast. She was missing a few words there, but she didn't entirely care.

The woman was fast; fast enough to breeze by him and completely dodge his attacks. Thankfully, the yearling had had no intention of putting on the brakes as he slammed into the woman (had his previous move been successful that is) and since it would be a shame to let his momentum go to waste, he attempted to follow his opponent and line up directly behind her, and keep on running with the intention of pursuing her. If he had to chase her down for a fight, so be it. Was she really running away? Determination set his jaw and if they weren't already laying flat, his ears would have slicked back. Not today, she wasn't! His lips rose higher in sneer, effectively bunching the skin across the bridge of his nose and around his narrowed eyes. He'd come all this way for a fight only to have his opponent turn tail? No way. He would not go home with nothing to show for it! Angelus crouched lower, his loose-jointed, slightly widened stance lowering his center of gravity moderately as he kicked it up a notch in the hopes of catching up to, and overtaking, his opponent. If he had to ram his chest into her ass to get her to turn around and fight him he would! His toes were splayed to better his balance and with each heavy step his nails dug into the ground to add a little more traction to his gallop. Behind him, Angel's tail was still held straight out, although at this point he was running fast enough that if he'd relaxed it the appendage probably would have remained aloft and fluttered along in the wake behind him. Angelus's hackles remained standing; the rigid, protective hairs spanning the length and width of his back. In trying to follow her, Angelus unknowingly lined himself up for her kick. Thankfully wolf legs weren't designed with kicking backwards in mind, so the move wasn't a powerful one. Her hind left paw slapped uselessly against the lowest portion of the front of his left shoulder and while it stung fiercely, no lasting damage was done. The woman spun to face him. Angelus continued to try to place them in a nearly straight line, only this time he wanted them to be face to face and just a little off center so that the center of his chest was lined up with the front of her right shoulder. Not for one second had he ever slowed down and with his greater mass in mind, the boy intended to run full force into the woman. He intended to use his chest like a battering ram, and he sought to do so by slamming the center of his chest into the front of her right shoulder. Being heavier and with more momentum backing him up, this move would hopefully do more damage to her than to him. He didn't think he was quite strong enough to dislocate the woman's shoulder, but he could hope, right? In any case he was pretty confident he could jar it back and strain the ligaments (...tendons?) that held it together., and possibly make it too painful to use properly for the rest of the fight.  [counter to Takira's shoulder throw; damage pending] Takira's front right paw struck air as it swiped at the space between Angelus's forelegs. While it didn't hit him, his opponent's paw managed to disturb the air next to the inside of his right foreleg and in turn, disturb the fur that lined his leg. Feeling the breeze and guessing what it was from gave the yearling an idea. He shifted his weight to his other three paws and distributed it equally among them as he lifted his right forepaw and attempted to slam it down on top of the two innermost toes of his opponent's left forepaw. There wasn't much to be gained from this move except quite a bit of pain, which had the potential to be disorienting. It was also possible his heavy weight and the force with which his paws were slapping the ground could strain the fibers that held his opponent's foot together and render it too painful to use for the rest of the fight. Unknowingly the woman played right into his attacks. With her head lowered and aiming for a bite, she'd lined herself up for a world of hurt. Angelus was beyond caring what kind of damage he took; he just wanted to win and he would win at any cost. Using the same force that backed his chest slam, the boy rolled his right shoulder forward with the intention of using the bony front of it to intercept the woman's bite. He wanted to slam into her snout hard enough to snap the wiggly part of her nose back and make it bleed, and maybe if he were really lucky, crack a couple of teeth and bust up her pretty smile. [counter to Takira's bite; damage pending] Tucking his chin, Angelus snaked his head down as he went in for a bite of his own, this move also serving to protect his throat since he was about to get it pretty close to his opponent's face. He twisted his head to his left (rotating it in place, not reaching out and to his left) as his jaws parted. Using a move his dad was fond of, Angel intended to drive his upper left canine into the right eye of his opponent and his lower left canine into the left eye of his opponent. The rest of his front teeth would hopefully dig into her forehead above each eye. The brute intended to slam his jaws closed on her head and achieve a blinding grip on the woman's face. He didn't really think this move through – what good was a blind slave? - he just wanted to win and he didn't care how. ANGELUS versus TAKIRA for FORCE CLAIM Round TWO of TWO

Takira so focused on causing as much damage to this male as she could did not even contemplate him just charging into her attack. As he turned and faced her head on and gave a little lung back, the two collided with (thankfully) Takira still on her paws and the male now right in front of her. This counter had landed Takira with another bruised shoulder, but this one Severely so. This Male was a bear! Takira's leg swipe came up with nothing and thankfully (again) she had not kept her paw near his because he stopped his down, resulting in him missing her paw. Her bit was successful but not like she wished it was, she barely got her teeth into his flesh when his shoulder was knocked into her snout. Shocking Takira but not hurting her in the least let go of his fur and jerked her head back, which had worked out for her because their was his snout snapping at the air where her head had been. Takira narrowed her eyes on him, Her ears still flattened and head lowered, her hunches raised with her tail, like a flag to show all that she was not going down until she was bloody, until she could not stand on her already battered body. She lowered her body, which also lowered her center of gravity, her pealed her lips from her teeth in a snarl as she joint bent to get her low to the ground. If she could not muscle this male she was prepared to out maneuver him, and with his massive size she could, where his moves where clunky hers could be swift. At least that is what she hoped. With her much smaller size thing opened up for her, like the fact that even with his head lowered protectively over his neck she still had room to get in their, enough room to chomp down on the soft tender underside. She lunged then, like a snake, she had no fears of him, had no reservations about getting hurt, as was said before she would not willing go back into servitude, not unless she was half dead. She would attempt to latch onto his jugular much like she would when bringing down a deer, She would shake and snarl, causing as much damage as she could. While attached to his neck she would cause as much chaos for his feet as possible. Her right paw would (attempt to) push on his left front one, hoping to push it out from under him. She was going for broke, this was her last chance, she was slowly bleeding out, even now the blood from her neck pooled under them, even now she felt the adrenaline leaving her body, this was her last stand, as the last Hellstorm standing... Wasn't that a ironic thought? Sin had wanted to kill her, had almost if Enigma had not saved her, now as a slave she was the last on this field of battle, she was the last and boy was she out numbered... But true to her nature she was going down fighting as a warrior should, as her mothers mother would have, as the curse of her line demanded her to. Would her grandmother Taske be proud? Would her mother? She hoped so, even if she fell this day she knew she at least tried... And that was all that mattered. ANGELUS versus TAKIRA for PROTECTION FROM FORCE CLAIM Round TWO of TWO

Total: 10 Total for Round One: 46 / 50 TAKIRA CLARITY - 2 “aiming for the males ribs” Where along the ribs? That’s a big area, be specific - 2 “She had not changed her angle” What angle was that again? You didn’t mention it once - 2 “Take a swipe at his right foot, hoping to trip the male” Are you trying to grab his paw? Or just pawing at him like a puppy? - 2 “aim was or the spot that was a few inches infront of his shoulder” Which side? Are you going for a grip? Total: 2 POWERPLAY - 2 Nested Attack. By kicking and then turning then attacking you give your opponent no time to respond to that initial attack. Even if you said “whether it hit or missed” this does not work. Total: 8 DEFENSES + 1 (tail) + 1 (fur) + 1 (head) + 1 (teeth) + 1 (ears) + 1 (claws) Total: 6 ATTACK + 2 kick to ribs + 2 body slam + 1 paw swipe + 1 bite to neck Total: 6 INJURIES - First Round! Total: 10 Total for Round One: 32 / 50 ROUND TWO ANGELUS CLARITY - 2 “he attempted to follow his opponent and line up directly behind her” You were approaching her side. Did you turn to line up? Total: 8 POWERPLAY - 0 Total: 10 DEFENSES + 1 (eyes) + 1 (stance) + 1 (toes) + 1 (nails) + 1 (tail) + 1 (hackles) + 1 (fur) + 1 (weight) + 1 (chin) + 1 (knees) Total: 10 ATTACK + 2 chest slam counter + 1 paw slam + 2 shoulder to muzzle counter + 3 bite to face + 1 severity + 1 grip Total: 10 INJURIES - Counters, damage pending. Total: 10 Total for Round Two:  48 / 50 TAKIRA CLARITY - 2 “Takira with another bruised shoulder” Which shoulder? - 2 “thankfully (again) she had not kept her paw near his” Where is it? Did it find its way to Narnia too? You didn’t state where you put your paw and if it makes an attack miss you must be clear. - 2 “with another bruised shoulder, this one sererely so” The shoulder is a very large part of wolf anatomy. Be clear where your damage is. The front? Along the flat? I know it might be “obvious” from Angelus’ attack, but you still need to outline this. How big of  a bruise was it? Be specific. Total: 4 POWERPLAY - 4 Unrealistic Damage/Unrealistic Dodges – The crash to your nose would have been far worse than a stun if you took the full brunt of the shoulder throw. Alo you need to state where your paws are to give a realistic reason why an attack missed. You cannot just state it missed without evidence. - 2 “She would shake and snarl, causing as much damage as she could” You must attempt these movements. Anything that affects your opponent has to be attempted or it is powerplay. - 2 “While attached to his neck” Assumed damage, by stating you have the grip you remove all power from your opponent to say yes or no and that is not allowed. Total: 2 DEFENSES + 1 (eyes) + 1 (ears) + 1 (head) +  1 (haunches) + 1 (tail) + 1 (lips) + 1 (teeth) Total: 6 ATTACK + 1 Paw…something + 3 bite to throat + 1 severity + 1 grip Total: 6 INJURIES - 3 Severe ouchies to nose (bleeding, split wound in nose, jostled front teeth) - 3 Severe bruising to right shoulder Total: 4 Total for Round Two: 22 / 50 Totals: ANGELUS 46 + 48 = 94 / 100 TAKIRA 32 + 22 = 54 / 100 And the winner is... ANGELUS TAKIRA must give up by submitting, fleeing or passing out. Angelus, your claim is successful, congratulations. Damage: ANGELUS - none. NAME Severe ouchies to nose – 2 OOC weeks to feel better, don’t bite into things too hard! Those poor teeth of yours. Severe bruising to Right Shoulder – 1.5 OOC weeks Notes: Tips for writing and some suggestions. (no points are deducted here): LAZ Fantastic fight Lazzy! You even got a 10 in attack, woah. Just remember to be as clear as you can on distance, as well as whether you are turning or not. TASKE Everything you need to know is in the notes above as well as the previous spar I judged for you in this siege.  Take a fair amount of damage, trust me. Even if you take severe damage you will lose less points than you would if you didn’t take realistic damage, as you can probably see. Let your wolf get hurt, don’t try and dodge unnecessarily because many of those dodges can be heavily unrealistic. Be clear, be concise….and maybe read over your posts before you post them. Also, a wolf had far more joints than their knees and elbows, so saying they “bent their joints” is not a very clear way of saying you bent your knees. <3 - By [Arin]

Things ran downhill as the major blood loss seem to be setting in, as she lunged for the males neck her vision blurred and she floundered and fell. This was not good, not one bit. She had failed and that failure hit hard, what would happen to her? She did not think anything good would. Her world was crashing around her. Her vision slowly going black as the male stood over her. Blood pooled under her and as she gave up to the darkness settled over her she thought about N, her dreams of maybe having a family again seeming to burn in her minds eye... If she died this day she would surly regret it... And with that thought she let the blackness clam her
