CLAWS: NAGA VS GRIMA
"GO NAGA! I BELIEVE IN YOU NAGA--!!”
"We should be impartial, but Emm’s enthusiasm is understandable. All things considered, it would be practically illegal for us not to side with Naga, right? I just hope they don’t use their full forms...”
Grima Strike 1: 3 ATT / 3 DEF Naga Strike 1: 16 ATT / 7 DEF
The crowd is already near riotous when the match begins. Both dragons are massive and radiate power. They both lunge forward and slam into each other in equal strength. The audience gasps and shouts. There is a momentary stalemate of power, but then Naga lets out a roar and pushes forward, flipping Grima into his side and scoring her first point.
Grima Strike 2: NAT 20 ATT (FAVOR bonus) / 10 DEF Critical Opening: 3 ATT / 10 DEF Naga Strike 2: 3 ATT (ROWAN disadvantage) / 3 DEF
When Grima is sent down onto the ground, he finds an opening and screeches gleefully as he whips his tail around and hits Naga’s belly. She stumbles back, nearly falling, but stays upright and withstands, preventing Grima from getting in another hit. Again, the dragons lunge and lock claws at the same time--
Grima Strike 3: 16 ATT / 18 DEF Naga Strike 3: 18 ATT / NAT 1 DEF Critical Opening: 13 ATT / 17 DEF
Grima nearly gained the upper hand, but falters and can’t quite tackle Naga. The crowd begins to cheer wildly, and there are even shouts from the moderator box as the Exalted siblings shout encouraging rally cries for Naga. With encouragement from the crowd, Naga lunges forward and tackles Grima to the ground. She tries to get a second hit in, but Grima recovers quickly.
Grima Strike 4: 6 ATT / 11 DEF Naga Strike 4: 15 ATT (OAK bonus) / 13 DEF
Grima lets out another screech, and many Plegians and Grimleal in the audience cheer for the fell dragon, even as he misses his next strike. Naga is successful, though, and she swings her tail quickly to score a hit against Grima’s side.
Grima Strike 5: 14 ATT / 9 DEF Naga Strike 5: 17 ATT / 6 DEF
With the audience jumping and shouting, Grima grabs Naga’s tail and pulls her to the ground, scoring another hit. Many in the audience begin to boo and jeer while others scream and chant for Naga to get up, to win. The holy dragon uses her tail to sweep Grima, sending him to the ground as well, scoring one last point, before she is back up and the audience is chanting: “NAGA! NAGA! NAGA!”
GRIMA: 2 NAGA: 4
“YES! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT NAGA! Praise be to our most holy of dragons!”
“Ladies and gentleman, if you ever wondered about who the most devout in our family is, you have your answer. But really, I’m glad good triumphed over evil... Gods, I really didn’t want to crown Grima as our champion at the end. Wait, can I even say gods in this context?”
