"Oh, it had to be soon after. There was a storm at sea so the cap'n had us head for a nearby town to take cover... As it turns out, the group was busy fighting an Ixionite force so we stopped to help them. Because we were pirates. Vested interest at not getting captured by anyone and all."

1517
Kyle wanders over to Mason, looking rather miffed at the soldier raiding his bags.
"I swear to the gods if she touches me grog... Ahem. So, I assume you know the other here?"

1518
Judas turns to the enchantress.
"We do not have a dearth of enchanters. I'm sure we should all like to see a display of skill in such a field."

1519
Judas shrugs.
"In my defense, you'd probably murder me in a fair fight. Metaphorically hopefully."

1520
Judas stands up and rubs his nose.
"I realize that the trickery wasn't very sporting, but you could have surrendered without punching me in the face."
Nevertheless he offers the woman his hand to help her up.

1521
Yeah, I guess he just punched me in the junk over and over.

I figure the system is like rocket tag, anyway. Whoever goes first is always going to win.

Also, can't decide if Judas skill is cheesing the system or not. :P It's deceptively weak to start, but it gets exponentially stronger as it goes on. Maybe that's a good balance?

How many combat rounds are tales expected to be on average?

Not arguing for a nerf, but-I mean at some point, that's just going to be an ability everyone has to take, right? By my math, the time to reach parity between the two abilities (talking about the basic passive damage boost) seems to be about 4 turns per level. So at lv.16 you have to get in 64 normal attacks to reach the same average amount of damage.

Edit: I didn't do the math for if you combine the normal damage passive with the double attack...
I thought that the time it took was a bit quick as well but Usec has assured me that this is the ideal amount of time for combat to take between players. And also the system isn't made for PvP combat so this likely isn't representative of the actual fights coming.

Judas is easily forced back by the blow. Not that he couldn't work with that. After quickly regaining his footing he throws his weapon at Alfrieda. Normally this is a horrible idea, can't stab someone when they've got your knife and all, but Judas was already running after the thrown knife. In his hands is his cloak with a rock in the hood, which would be a little weird to see normally if he didn't use it to lasso Alfireda's non-supporting leg and pull it out from under her while she's forced to deal with the knife, ideally knocking her down so he could pin her and claim victory.

1523
Judas' style was decidedly less than sportsmanlike. First of all his opening move was to throw his cloak into Alfrieda's face before rattling her skull with a quick strike to the back of her head. He'd follow it up by kicking Alfrieda in the back as he reclaims his cloak.

1524
Judas meanwhile grabs a likewise enchanted dagger.
"Please, as they say back home, come at me my comrade."

1525
Sorry, at school so my net time is limited. I got about two hours though

1526
"I can't even read so I think a test of our physical skills would be most fair."
Judas chuckles to himself. It wasn't actually going to be fair at all.

1527
Judas shrugs and raises his hand.

1528
"Indeed, I fear I'm not very strong as a fighter but I will not turn down a chance to demonstrate what prowess I have."

1529
"I agree, a tournament of sorts to aquiant us with each other's skills would be excellent."

1530
Judas looks around. He shrugs and turns back to Alfrieda.
"It would appear that yes, we are all introduced.
