The Theran Mystique - Volume 3, Issue 5
Kamay vs. Anarenth.
On a cold and crisp morning in the town of Timaran, a mighty duel took place between the Slith warrior Kamay and the Warlord Anarenth. Kamay used his prehensile tail to flick dirt into the Warlord's eyes who, blinded and hobbled, was unable to move while Kamay struck him repeatedly. Anarenth fought back valiantly, despite his disadvantages, but eventually chose to flee. Kamay followed him through the Arena and initiated what was to be the final stage of the fight, killing Anarenth with a blow from his spiked trident. Anarenth fought with honour, and might be a little aggrieved at how he could seem to land a dirt kick on his opponent.
Winner: Kamay.

Vartez vs. Celia
Vartez the Paladin was travelling in the verdent Drkshtyre forest when, without warning, the Duergar Shaman Celia summoned Vartez's friend Shoujin and slew him mercilessly. Vartez, understandably a little perplexed by this turn of events sought out the Dark Cleric and, calling upon his god, brought down the Wrath of the heavens upon her. Fearing the worst, Celia fled the scene. She soon returned, however, and cast her malediction on Vartez while he rested. Luckily for him, his armour gave him fearsome resistance to her magic. Vartez leapt to his feet and centred a pillar of fire upon Celia, blinding her. Celia's luck worsened as her sanctuary wore off. Making the most of his temporary advantage, Vartez unleashed his Wrath against the doomed shaman, who soon fell.

Winner: Vartez.

Thelis vs. Klia.
The noble warrior of light, Thelis, was set upon by the Drow Illusioness, Klia, in Seringale's temple of light. Accompanied by an unnamed companion, Klia hurled her most powerful enchantments at the Paladin, but her cowardly friend fled. Thelis, now facing more even odds, called the wrath of the heavens against Klia. The mage fell in the temple of light, a victim of Thelis' sword. In interview Klia claimed that it was an unfair fight, since Thelis' "damn...high ranking... healer friend" helped him. Thelis denies the involvement of any other party.

Winner: Thelis.

Chlor vs. Zaeothin.
In one of the more unusual matchups in the realms, the Warlord Chlor challenged the bard Zaoethin to a duel in the Timaran arena. Zaeothin initiated the proceedings by singing the dreaded 'Devil's Dance'. its sweet tones caused Chlor to gyrate wildly in the middle of the fight, losing her concentration. Chlor, however, through sheer strength of will, overcame the effects long enough to kick dirt into the Halfling's eyes. Zaeothin fled for his life around the arena. They met again with the bard wielding an exotic weapon and taking advantage of his uncanny attacks. When his opponent was weakened, he sang the 'Four seaons' which eventually killed the valiant Slith.

Winner: Zaeothin.

Orkahn vs. Thremus.
Another chapter has been written in the story of recent hostilities between the Justices and the Legion. Thremus, a Warrior Justice, found himself in the unenviable position of being the subject of a Legion contract. Orkahn the Dark Knight decided to accept the challenge presented, and take on this mighty warrior. At first it must have seen to the Legionnaire that he had miscalculated, because Thremus had the upper hand in much of the early battle. However, Thremus was unfortunate enough to find that his aura of protection ran out half way through the fight. He attempted to flee, but Orkahn caught up with him in the town of Liberty. Battle was enjoined with fury once again, and soon both parties were blinded. Sources say that Orkahn, having the upper hand called a powerful fireball which ultimately slew Thremus.

Winner: Orkahn.
