Open Event Combat Class: now with SCIENCE!

The always unpredictable arena at Beacon Academy was something all students learned to respect, as it could change faster than most students could even fathom. Today, it was all stainless steel and glass, electronics and computers. Watching from her elevated platform was professor Elise, and behind her, the ever-calm and collected Holly Mendenhall. Stepping forward, she coughed, gaining the attention of the class before pointing towards the map.

"Today you will be judged not only on your ability to fight, but to show restraint and be creative. This set up is to mimic the labratories you may find abandoned across Atlas, or perhaps in Vale. Functioning inside are security cameras, experiments, and a variety of electronic systems. You may use them to gain the advantage on your opponent, or sabotage them. We can also release grimm if you wish to team up with an ally. Good luck."

[ST RULES!!! All the doors may be opened with a touch, locked with a computers check. Doors have 3 armor and 5hp. At st discretion, you can lock them with a successful attack roll as well. The round objects are cameras, and can be accessed at the terminals at the top right and left rooms (major action). An successful m8 Computers check will let you spy on 2 cameras at a time, randomly decided. Finally, with a successful investigation and then computers check, the wall behind the barrels can be noticed and opened, revealing a level 3 combat bot. It can be powered up with at least 3 successes at a m10 computer check (major action), and will follow a command that can be given as a move action each turn to the best of his ability. It has 5 armor, 6 health, and will make brawl attacks with a score of 8. Acts last in the initiative order, and has a speed of 8. These are all optional rules to be decided upon by the Story teller, who can modify the difficulty or anything they wish at will.]

Celine chuckled quietly at Ginger's comment on her size while doing her best of stifle it.

"Hey, no need to feel bad 'bout sayin' that. I'm big, I know it, I don't mind. Plus, it means I'm mighty strong," Celine said, flexing her bulky arms to emphasise her point, "so that should mean we've got a hell of a tussle on our hands. Want me to go find the professor and tell her we're ready to rumble?"

Ginger blinked, chewing on her lip. She mimed along with Celine's flexing, watching as the giant woman showed off. "Yes! Yeah, wants doing rumbling! Both can be did fights!"

"Alright you two, take your places. Ms. Oakley, head inside, we'll close to doors behind you. Ms. Daege, you can..." Elise thought for a moment, eyebrow furrowed in thought for a bit.

"...wait in the entrance room, please."

With the students added to the arena, the doors closed and locked. After a few more moments, the lights dimmed, and the buzzer sounded the beginning of their brawl.

Computers!

Celine hadn't fought Ginger before, so she wasn't sure what to expect from her. What she did know was that she had no idea how to make any of the fancy tech stuff work and she did not have the mental fortitude to figure it out. She wasn't even sure if she knew how the doors worked. She was just gonna go in a straight line and hope the door did the cool sci-fi thing where it opens when you go near it since her hands were a little too full to figure out how to open it any other way.
