The turns always last a long time. But it looks like the conversation in heaven is almost over, then we will probably move on.

Meh, worth a shot I suppose. (no these are not fair fights. The winners aren't even students of the academy)

NPC fight 1: Thex Vs ???(old man, refused to give name)
As the fight opens Thex invokes a series of spells raising 5 magical barriers around himself as the old man fumbles around in his robes. As Thex waits cautiously within his prismatic shield the old man pulls a pair of small vials out of his robes and sprinkles them on the ground, one in a circle around him and the second further away. Moments later, the arena is covered in stone spikes, and Thex's barriers fail to defend him against the attack from within.

NPC fight 2: Hekan Vs. Ganth
Hekan Summons a large number of fireballs, one by one, as Ganth simply drops to his knees and clasps his hands. Hekan pauses for a moment out of confusion, then flings all the fireballs at Ganth. The fireballs vanish as they strike him, and with each blow Ganth glows brighter. As the last one strikes, a beam of light leaps from Ganth to Hekan, ending the battle instantly.

Next fights, Poltifar Vs. ??? and Nivm Vs. Ganth, GO!

No, this should be revived! The adventure was not yet done!

So what experience does SHAD0Wdump get for using his lance of glorious chainsaw methods? Although, supposedly SHAD0Wdump also had a large gash across his chest that interfered with physical actions, yet he isn't getting penalties to using the lance.
 Have you been rolling for when my speed potion's effect ends? Or did it do so already right after use, or did you just forget the whole thing like I forgot SHAD0Wdump's image lacks a face? ...Oh yeah. speed potion. Well, it didn't mean much for this action anyway, but it won't wear off til after the next turn. The lance should have given him priest exp, but the lack of penalty was intentional. Glorious Chainsaw Method cancels out all penalties to that attack.
 The coin still isn't in my inventory, but I guess attachment should put it there. it's not there on purpose. I was basically waiting for you to react to it first

Spoiler: All those other possible skill gains I can't tell if were missed or not. (click to show/hide)

I try using earth magic to fling the Battleship's cannonballs back at them.

[5+1] You reach out for the cannonballs hurtling toward the ship and fling them back toward their source. The ships vanish the instant they are struck, much more fragile than their source. Between your attack and Flint's there are very few left in your way, most of the remaining ships left behind.

Summon my air elemental and increase his abilities

[4+1] You call your air elemental back from... wherever it was... and try to increase it's power. You succeed admirably, and the elemental at least doubles in size.
(elemental upgraded to greater elemental. No mechanical bonus, but it is much stronger)

Quote from: Jervous

Practice magical theory

[5] You practice magic. You get better at magic. Stop that, practice is boring.
(2 exp. to all forms of magic) [Did you mean magical theory experience? Was it added?]

Continue to beef up my elemental.

[4-1] You strengthen your elemental even more, changing it into a true force to be reckoned with. You don't think you'll be able to make it any stronger for now though.

Quote from: Jervous

Go check on my wolf. If he's okay, train him a bit. If he's hungry, get him some food in the kitchen.

[6] You easily locate your wolf nearby and begin training it. After realizing this is gonna take forever, you give that up and instead turn it's fur to stone. Why not?
Wolf is now Stone wolf. +1 to defense

Quote from: stonemt

summon my stupid fortress and BUILD MY SENSOR!!!

[5] You do that. Your fortress can now detect chaos corruption in any of the planes...There isn't any. Looks like the corruption has been purged from every plane except for the plane of air. Something is still VERY wrong in the plane of light though.

Quote from: Nivm

Working with Legion's senses I polymorph gunpowder into the layer of ship right before the liquid evil, and set it off. The instant it's jettisoned Legion moves the ship away and fires that solar cannon. "SHAD0W, shields up! Now!" I mumble to myself about Flint being useless as a captain and useless as an ally.

[5+1] You Coordinate perfectly with legion, blasting the chaos goo of of the ship(Along with part of the ship...) and then hitting it with Legion's cannon. The rapid maneuvering took it's toll though, and Legion is going to be slowed down a good deal for a while.(temporary -1 to dodge)

Quote from: SHADOWdump

I teleport myself and the chariot away from this thing.

[3+1] You teleport to the other side of legion, protecting yourself for now.

Quote from: SHADOWdump

I do a series of micro-teleportations on various chunks of the shadow image. Each chunk will be separated by quite a distance yet roughly lined up for the cannon to fry them at once.

[3+1][3] You try to teleport your copy into several pieces. The copy somehow responds by shrinking at the last second and the entire thing is caught in the first spell. On the bright side, it's too far away to hit you now.

Quote from: Nivm

I position myself between the SHAD0Wdumps at the edge of the deck, brandish my sword enemy-ward, and summon up my best TURN TO STONE!

[3+1][2] You target the recently shattered clone and direct a polymorphic spell at it, converting the distracted creature to stone instantly.

*sigh* I'm tired today(lots of classes and quizzes) but I'll get all that exp fixed soon.

I wasn't GOING to post the other duels... but I suppose I could if you want. Only problem is that I know all the rules, so while I can create one fighter, it's hard not to be biased if I control both sides of the fight.

  Pah! It can't be so simple that you're already out of possibilities to explore! Use the matches to play around a little with the reinterpretation thing. Even without that, there are interesting things one can do with simple spells, some finesse, and some strategy (or even just tactics). Such as slowly filling the arena with mist while the mages hurl rocks at each-other, then condensing that mist into the opponent's lungs. Speaking of which.^..

The problem isn't lack of ideas. It's TOO MANY ideas. I know the entire system, so I could have the two perfectly counter anything they threw at each other, or use all sorts of spells. But I can't simulate them not knowing each others plans. And I'm sorta cheating on the spells they know: The NPCs know how to use a small selection of words perfectly, with a few other spells in there for a surprise. It doesn't quite match how you all are learning, but it's as close as I can get.

Nivm/Ranis:
Ranis begins to flail about wildly inside the sphere and within moments vanishes, teleported away by the protective wards. A whirlwind of sand forms in the center of the arena soon after, and as it clears Croix is revealed floating where it had been.
(Now.. you can move on to the next fight, or I can try to do the NPCs battles. Your choice.)

Yay!

...Is that a santa hat?  I don't recognize the style...

It really is a santa hat.

Dunno who LSU is.

...Louisiana State University?

Oh, you had defenses... just not against a solid spike of rock aimed at you.
