The Games of Saberhaven
Flag vs. Brandibus Vandmeer
        The devious dark elf mage called Flag stands at one end of the Arena, awaiting his next opponent, the faithful of Mephistopholes, Brandibus Vandmeer, one of the Dukes of Hell on Earth. Rumor has it that the fighter/thief Briandibus was disintigrated more than a year ago in a battle against the holy minions of Mystra, but his vile Lord brought him back though the intricate cloning process known only to a few of the most powerful magi.
        This day, however, the brown haired thief is nothing less than at full power. His bracers shine and his dark cloak flows int he breeze behind him as he steps forward. Two ioun stones circle his head and in each hand he holds a feared sword, one a black-colored blade and the other the fabled Shortsword of Vol. Also visible around the short man is a violet haze, most surely a cold fireshield given to him by one of the devil followers.
        Flag has the same violet glow around him, signifying his own fireshield, and no doubt many other enchantments protect the elven arch-mage.
        As the doors fly open and names are called, Flag casts a spell. At the same instant, Brandibus activates a spell from his ring and teleports just a few feet away from the dark elf. He advances with swords drawn as the dark elf finsihes the spell.
        Brandibus quickly jumps in his unnatural speed, no doubt another preporatory spell enchancing him. Four blows strike the slower dark elf, though all four bounce harmlessly off of Flag's skone-like skin.
        Suddenly, a fireball engulfs the two of them, completly catching the thief off guard from the delayed blast. Flag takes his chance to stirke out withe his swords, missing the first, but grazing the second shot off the thief.
        Amazed, Brandibus finds himself dancing uncontrollably, writhing and leaping around to the amusement of the crowd, completely out of control of his own body.
        Smiling now, the dark elf steps back and casta again, he moves in closer to the thief and reaches out for him. Brandibus' eyes widen as he tries to fend off the attack, but to no avail. When Flag's hand touches the thief, his body hardens and turns into solid granite, the whole of his person now stautuized.
        Flag bows deeply to the cheering crowd as the priests summon the guards out to help carry the heavy stone Brandibus off the field of battle.
