Report on the EM duelling tournament

I haven't seen a report on this EM event posted. Summary was that UCH won!

As I was taking part I didn’t get chance to note contestant names or the results of the rounds. But the basics for me were...

The event was announced by the usual lantern at Brit castle and took place at the Mallas sporting arena just south of Luna. Sixteen attendees were chosen at random. Pairs were picked to fight gladiator style with just a few rules like no pre-buff. They then fought to the death.

My first three rounds on my blue pally archer, FoxMouldy, were:

1. Against someone who's template I don't know as they died rather quickly

2. Against another archer who died to my mortal blows and

3. Against a disarmer who never actually managed to hurt me but did prevent me from holding a bow more than 5 secs because of the small space we were fighting in. After the three minute timer without a winner in that round we had to face each other naked except for a weapon and he went down quickly without his shield and parry.

The final was between me and my guildmate Crazy (a.k.a. Xan) with his blue wrestle mage. Again it was constant disarm of me in the small area leaving me mostly on the defensive and after a couple of minutes it was all over for me and Crazy deservedly won.

The reward was a huge amount of smugness on the part of UCH and No Drop/No Trade sashes all round with Crazy getting a rather sexy white Champion’s one.

There were a few grumbles like: “Why wasn’t it in Fel so my red could take part?” (Kinda agree with that, I would have done better on my red ninja with death strike to stop the constant chasing for disarms). “The PvPers there won” (well, duh!). “I was on my tamer characters as I thought it was a normal EM event” etc.

But, altogether, an EM event that I really liked.
