Sarn ambushed Draco n his way out from the urination station, Sarinon close behind clutching her sketch pad and ink to her chest, glancing about with sightless eyes. Sarn's wings extended so that Draco could not escape and he murred in a sing-song voice,
"Draco, Draco,
Have you a request?
I will do all kinds of things,
And beat all of the rest.
Sarinon will draw me,
And once her art is done,
She'll submit it for the judges
So you can all poke fun!"
(This request applies to all the judges if you have a mental image that you would like presented. But I do demand extra points as I will first do an RP type post and then draw the mental image. xD That's gotta be worth several hundred!!!)

"Lika, we need more points!"
[Why do you insist on being so determined about a silly thing like this?]
"For the pride of the Mages!" she shouted, drawing a hand back and pulling her robe over her head when she realized just how loud that had been. "Alright," she said in a quieter voice. "I kinda feel guilty for not being there for a while, so I might as well help as much as I can."
[You mean, you actually feel guilt? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing.]
"You shut up." She stood at hearing Sarn's voice, checking with Lika to make sure she'd heard it right. "Art? What happened to...I dunno, epic duels or something like that?"
[You happened.]
"Oh, yeah, everything's my fault."Aly rolled her eyes, then sat and considered the idea. "Lika, can you get Ro? Since she's actually the one who can draw and all that..."
[I will. let me get out of this first, though--]
"Nope, show up like that." The mage grinned. "It'll give her inspiration."
[...You're a horrible person.]
"If she doesn't draw it, I'll sing about it."
[I'll go.] The Felyr bounded out quickly and disappeared around a corner. the mage smiled after her.
"Now..." She pulled out an arrow and spun it with a flick of her wrist, watching the twirling shaft and following the point when it came to a stop. "You!" she called out to the next poster. "I challenge you to a duel!" Heck, if I'm going for points, might as well make it interesting.

Amneiger watched the arrow as the mage spun it. There were plenty of other people around, so it wasn't like it was about to land ... on ...
...him.
"I. Uh. Don't fight myself actually. I actually have my minitanks do the fighting," Amneiger said, pointing to one minitank he had with him.

Draco looks at Sarn with one eyebrow raised.
"I can't think of something on the top of my head, but I think I can come up with something."
He thinks for only a second before turning his head back.
"One handed hand stand on top of the mini tank with weasels dancing around you and a shiny hoop in the shape of a kunai above you."
A evil smile crosses his face.
"Or you can go on another life threatening mission and just have a picture done in one of many comical positions as you try not to die... You choice."
He than hears the words "duel" and turns around quickly.
"Duel? Where?"

Sarn grinned. "If I do both, I want 500 points."

"Deal."
He continues to look around for a fight to break out.

Aly thought for a moment, glanced at the minitanks, thought some more, and then shrugged and notched three arrows, drawing them back and letting them burst into flame. "Alright," she said, grinning. "Bring it on!" The girl released the shafts all at once, braced in case of any retaliation. If I need to, I can pull some kind of cheap trick. Probably.

Amneiger watched the arrows streak towards the minitank and. You know. Bounce off the metal armor.
The minitank immediately swiveled around and took aim at the mage's chest.
It occured to Amneiger that getting a participant killed might be bad for later diplomatic relations.
"Wait! Shoot her bow out."
The minitank stopped, adjusted its aim, and fired a single bullet at the mage's bow.
((I'm assuming that the fire was ordinary fire that was just created by magic instead of having any special properties.))

((It was (well, aside from the fact that it uses magic as a fuel and not tinder of something like that), but I'm pulling out other things now. ^^ Doesn't hurt to try, Aly's quiver has a ridiculous number of arrows.
If I'm being cheap, tell me. XD The stupid part, I already know. ^^))
As soon as she heard Amneiger's words, Aly started dodging to the side, practically throwing herself over. There was a sharp pain on her arm as the bullet grazed by, but nothing she wasn't used to. "Blasted technology," she muttered, moving while pulling a small pouch from her pocket. She felt for another arrow. This time, she pulled out a single, elegant one, marked with a thin point of obsidian for its head and and ebony shaft ending in flame-like feathers. It occurred to her that burning down the tavern probably wasn't the best of ideas, especially with a bunch of judges in here, but she shrugged and loosed it anyway, pouch hung on its end. Leaving a bit of her own magic she she could control the flames, she watched the pouch of flash powder burst over the tank and catch on fire, the phoenix-feather flames spreading waves of heat that washed over her. She kept the intense flame to a small column and watched carefully. That's gonna leave another scorch mark.
((This is a really, really, really hot fire, by the way. ^^ Not reviving, though. I haven't used this before and I really want to. The minitank may survive if needed.
Umm...I'm not sure how we determine the winner of this? I guess until the judges determine they're satisfied. ^^))

((No, that's fine. xD))
As the mage reacted, four different inputs went through the minitank's expert system mind.
(1.) It was currently in the middle of an environmental hazard, ie fire.
(2.) Its external armor was slowly starting to melt because of this.
(3.) It couldn't see, because the fire was getting in the way of its visual and infrared cameras.
(4.) It couldn't see because an enemy it had been looking at had blinded it.
So it did the two things that it was supposed to do to deal with these.
The first thing was to charge out of the flames at the mage.
The second was to spray bullets and grenades wildly at the area where it had last seen its opponent.

Draco watches the battle take place, and is starting to regret sitting in a chair in the direction the minitank was aiming. He quickly gets up and runs to a safer spot.

Zylaa notes the chaos and carnage ensuing and sees Draco ducking for cover. Not a bad idea, she thinks. But then she realizes... well, in a crew with its own phoenix, death is cheap. Points, on the other hand...
"Judges!" Zylaa calls out, bounding over to Draco. "I'd be willing to build a nice sturdy platform to keep you all safe from the blow-backs of the duel, and any subsequent fights-- which I'm sure will be epic-- for 150 points from each of you. Because I'm risking life and limb here." She turns back to the duel just for a moment to watch the pretty flames. "Also, I'll pop popcorn on the magical flames for 200 extra points."

Draco is currently holding onto a high wall.
"Sounds good to me. I can't stay up here forever, most of the battle, but not forever. Also magical popped popcorn is really good."

((My psych exam is in 24 hours after which time I will get back to updating/working on the Guilympics and also doing the RP and drawing. Until then, don't expect to see much of me! D:))
