12 December, darkness of the approaching winter solstice added to the mist hanging in the arena as two dark mages turned out to face each other. Wizard vs Warlock, facing off in the duel, silence as everyone waited to see the first move.
Conserving and calculating the wizard begins with mana crystals and armor as the warlock advances summoning armor and weapon. Continuing towards the wizard and meeting a massive mana drain, bringing worry to the warlock as he charges to reduce the difference. his ring adding to his firey assault the wizard is brought halting by curses building up on him, but the warlock has a problem.
The mana syphon and the draining has left him drastically short of mana, now with the cloak draining mana as well and his channeling reduced, his feeble attacks are not swinging the balance. Worse the wizard dispels all the curses, things are looking up for the wizard. Using some last mana the wizard is fixed to the spot but this means I cannot swing at him this round, the wizard counters with his mana advantage and I am doubting the rush strategy. Suddenly the mage teleports me away. room to consider but then I am als fixed to the spot. Luckily at 2 range my prepared fireball still takes effect. A very well aimed fireball takes the wizard by surprise and he burns. After his armor exploded my fireball takes a good effect and with his poisoned blood he will not be healing any time soon, but I need to close the distance,
The wizard retreats firing lightning bolts as he goes. One last charge
flying into the electrical inferno of the wizard, my enhanced strength gives me the last advantage to slay the wizard before his mana superiority can take my worn down warlock down.
Victory, Warlock.
Score, Paul 5, Wout 3,
Problem, Wout now has Druid vs Necromancer expansion, perhaps the wizards death will not be the end of things.
