Hey guys, especially everyone new that's showed up recently. You're probably sick of seeing these things by now, but I figured I'd give it a shot myself

Couldn't have made a better announcement myself, Stahn. Got a couple of people that are interested in joining, not the least of which is someone I know from back home. ...Etna might be a bit of a handful, but you leave her to me. Trust me, someone as powerful as her you want as an ally, not an enemy.

...And I've been wondering why we haven't sparred yet. I'm good for it today, if you want.

[Voice, Filtered]

[hotheadedidiot]

[Hearing a person like that is interested in the Rogues worries Stahn a bit, but... He also trusts Adell's judgment, and to be able to handle it.]

...Right.

Well, let's do it, then! I don't have anything else planned, so I'm good to go!

[Voice, Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

Don't worry. Just don't let her get under your skin and everything will be fine. She actually helped me defeat that Overlord I told you about in the past.

Alright. There's a good clearing in the forest west of the village we can try. Should be big enough to fight there and we won't cause any damage. Meet you over there soon?

[Voice, Filtered]

[hotheadedidiot]

Oh, yeah, I know that place! I'll meet you there!

[Voice, Filtered/Action]

[vulcanblazer]

On my way.

[And the connection cuts out. He'll see you over there, man. By the time Stahn gets there, Adell's already in the process of warming up and getting himself ready for battle.]

[Action]

[hotheadedidiot]

[Stahn's been rarin' to go for this one. Carrying his sheathed sword, he gives Adell a hearty wave as he approaches.]

[Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[And he'll get one in return as he finishes stretching out his legs.]

So. What sort of rules are we looking at here?

[Action]

[hotheadedidiot]

Rules? [What are rules?]

Uhh... No cheap shots, fight until one of us loses? Oh, and no killing, but I don't think we have to worry about that!

[Action]

[vulcanblazer]

Well, yeah. Some people do first blood. I'm used to fighting until KO or yield. And yeah, obviously no killing.

[Action]

[hotheadedidiot]

I guess I never really had to worry about establishing rules for a spar before. Any other time, it was either in the coliseum or they were just unspoken rules we both knew.

[Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[He shrugs.]

Never did much sparring before I came here. You never have to look far in the Netherworld for someone who wants to pick a fight.

Well, we've pretty much got that settled. I'm ready when you are.

[Action]

[hotheadedidiot]

[He draws Dymlos from the scabbard, tossing it to the side so it's out of the way.]

Then let's begin!

[Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell adopts a fighting stance. He's fought plenty of people with swords before. He knows Stahn's no ordinary swordsman, but he's going to be ready. Given his superior reach with the blade, Adell is going to let Stahn make the first move for now; it's easier to capitalize on a mistake that way.]

[Action]

[hotheadedidiot]

[Stahn's fought plenty of brawlers himself. He's the new Champion of the coliseum back home after having defeated Kongman, after all.

And that's why he opens with not a direct attack, but... a Demon Fang. Watch out, because there's a shockwave coming at you, Adell.]

[Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[A ranged game, huh? Well, two can play at that game. Adell jumps over the incoming shockwave and fires a low powered Lion's Roar at Stahn.]

[Action]

[hotheadedidiot]

[Just what he was counting on. As Adell fires the attack, Stahn charges straight at Adell and jumps, shifting into a Tempest attack.]
