The Games of Saberhaven
Morann vs. Drowkla
        The force mage known as Morann enters the Arena once again, His past record has been spotted, but his presence assures the crowd that a good fight will take place.
       Across fom the monk-mage is one of the dark elf contingent, Drowkla, the thoughoughly evil fighter-preistess of of the spider queen Lolth.
       Stepping forward into the arena, the monk-mage activates his everpresent cube of force.
       The female dark elf moves forward, one hand glowing in a dark fire, a gleam of evil in her eye.
       Morann meets the drowess' gaze and focuses his will against hers. Seemingly satisfied, the force mage breaks eye contact.
       The monk-mage then vanishes from view, only to reappear behind and to the left of Drowkla, about 50 yards away still surrounded by the cube.
       Granting no quarter and taking no chances, Morann concentrates again, willing the utter destruction of the elf's body.
       Drowkla seems uncomfortable, but nothing visible happens to her. She focuses her spiritual energies and summons the powers of Lolth.        Suddenly, the cube surrounding Morann is gone.
       Thinking quickly, Morann reaches into his pouch and tosses a black bead at Drowkla. At the same time she summons a handful of dark fire and hurls it at the force mage.
       The bead explodes on the dark elf as the dark fire engulfs Morann. Drowkla jumps clear of the intended force globe trap and regains her step.
       Summoning mystic powers, Morann wills three glowing spheres of force into existence, and one after the other they hurtle toward Drowkla, exploding as they strike her.
       Totally shocked byt he exposions, the dark elf catches herself, pulls a wand from inside her cloak and fires a huge ball of acid at the force mage. The acid burns into his skin, causing great pain.
       Though his face flushes with the burning of the acid, Morann utters no sound of pain. Instead, he launches an acid ball of his own back at Drowkla. The sphere explodes on contact, splashing the area with the noxious liquid.
       The dark elf seems to resist the magical glob of acid, while the force mage's skin continues to burn.
       Drowkla pulls her sword and dagger and moves into melee range, swinging her blades.
       The monk-mage, conscious of his inferiority at melee combat, re-engages his force cube. The dark elf tries to slip in before the barrier emerges but cannot manage it. Her swords clank into the force barrier with an audible "thud".
       Morann focuses his mental energy into a powerful burst directed at Drowkla's mind. The dark elf's eyes open wide as the mental pain sears through her. She barely holds in a scream as she feels like her life is sucked out of her.
       Managing some sort of coherence, she throws another ball of dark fire at the monk-mage.
       Hoping to end the battle quickly, Morann draws upon his earliest studies and speedily summons several glowing flares of mystic force. The missiles smash into Drowkla one after another, seeming to kill her. The monk-mage knows his mental trick will wrear off in a few minutes, but this is enough for him to be declared winner.
