Round 8The Rhinotaur charged at Mathyland. The Mystic jumped out of its direct path but still got hit, reducing the damage he took to 6.
Hyrda attacked the Carniboar, cutting it side with his sword for 8 damage.
The Carniboar, still confused and frightened, anxiously ran towards Yvonne the Merciless, but she easily hopped out of the way, so the Carniboar scurried away.
Wintermoot then pulled out his bow and aimed at the Carniboar. He made the shot, which sent the arrow into the beast's foot, crippling it and dealing 3 damage.
Elbbsas the Reka and Martin Breakshield together prepared to attack the Rhinotaur. Martin first drank his Health Potion, then they went in for the strike. Whether it was caution or the beast's armor-like skin, the two dealt it only 4 and 1 damage, respectively.
Dr. Taurus Valeria drank a Health Potion then raised his shield to protect himself.
Rosashia Byrnweave followed suit and also raised her shield in a block.
Yet again, the Arena Guards sent their hawks out to punish Yvonne and Mathyland. This time, however, the hawks seemed to want more than just to give a scratch. In an almost synchronized fashion, the hawks swooped down on their victims and began to peck and tear at their faces and chests. The combatants tried to swat away at the birds with their swords and shields, but it was to no avail. The hawks continued their attacks until Yvonne and Mathyland had fallen over, and then they continued to eat at them a little more, making sure they were dead and at the same time having a little treat out of their meat. The hawks finally looked up to their trainers, who were frantically waving them to come back, and then they screeched and flew back to their perches.
"Well, there are our first combatants' deaths," the Host announced solemnly. "Such an unfortunate way for them to go. If only they had continued to fight, they might have lived." He paused, then continued, "I earnestly urge our remaining combatants to fight, not just to prevent their deaths by our fearsome and seemingly overenthusiastic birds of prey, but to entertain your audience and fight for glory! Now, let us continue!"
