120HP will take a while.

You say that now...

...and you're probably right.

But still, I think it's a good number to be at.

Orders sent shortly.

Hehe, I think I've argued it consistently with regard to matchups with negative effective power bonuses.

But, as we observed, 60HP can be gone in no time flat. A buffer this large is needed to allow for variations in tactics.

100 would have been appropriate for both this match and Chaunk/Jamski semi.

	Final, round 2 Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

The two contestants frown in contentration as they clash again, both of them levelling viscious blows on their opponents right to bypass their guard, and both receiving cruel slashes to their chests.

Chaunk tries to leap backwards out of danger and raise a defense, but Theben swiftly reverses his sword and slices a shallow cut across Chaunk's ribs, almost joining the two existing woulds there in a line of gleaming red.

Chaunk completes his retreat and escapes further harm, but Theben is beginning to look smug.

Theben takes 23 damage and falls to 97HP. Chaunk takes 42 damage and drops to 73.

Well, we're well below 100HP now, so you might claim the change cost us at most 2 rounds. Of course, it's not that simple, but anyway...

Yes, thanks.

Exams are over, but now the post-exam activities seem to be distracting me fairly effectively. Hopefully I'll get an update in later this evening...

I do . I've marked tests myself in my time (nothing serious), and I have a small impression of what a job marking real exams must be like . I appreciate how fast they do it for us, but it's still not as fast as I would like!

Yeah it's a laborious process, you probably don't realise how much so. I'll finish Monday, and then a random sample will be internally moderated. Then the papers get externally moderated, and the externals take a while (this is the main hold up) since they usually act as moderator for multiple universities.

Still, afterwards there are a nice few months of uninterrupted research, so it's a good time of year, if you have finished - same as students.

	Final, round 3 Remove this text

Theben smirks at Chaunk, and taunts him with shouted insults, some of which are enough to make the crowd blush, hoping to send him into a rage. Chaunk takes the bait and charges forward, striking at Theben powerfully, but not without finesse. Theben knows his opponent well, however, and puts just enough effort into defending himself to stop the blow. Chaunk, focused on his attack, cannot prevent Theben from smarmily striking at his cheek, although the blade scarecly scratches the surface of the skin.

Reversing his weapon, Chaunk thrusts with the haft, but Theben is once again prepared and able to escape harm and embarass Chaunk with a shallow scrape.

Chaunk scowls and retreats, exhausted, but not before Theben swipes for a third time, leaving the impression of a letter 'T' clearly on Chuank's cheek. Theben laughs cruelly and calls "Perhaps I should write my entire name across your skin before I kill you, so all who see you, even in death, will know that you could not face me and survive!"

Theben takes no damage and sticks at 97HP. Chaunk takes 3 damage and his HP is rounded off to 70.
Send orders for round 4 whenever you wish.

Sorry I was so slow again - I think things should be dealt with quickly again from now on at least for a couple of weeks.

Also, sorry I've twisted Theben's character quite a long way from your description of "Extremely tough fighter, valiant, loyal, a leader", but how else am I supposed to interperet orders like those ones?..

So are we talking lawful neutral, or lawful evil?

Going by the later comment, I'm guessing the latter .

Actually he was Neutral Good with lawful tendencies.
