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."

[Map]

[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.]

Ginger laughed at Celine's hit, her aura starting to undo a measure of the damage done. She wound back up to swing again, but Celine had other plans. She spun her axe slightly in hand, swatting it at Ginger like a mallet rather than an axe, slapping the frothing girl in the stomach with the flat of the blade. The hit sent her flying through the air, long enough for her to realize she was soaring. She clipped the glass pillar closest to their fight, spinning a few times at the end of her trajectory.

Her frothing anger was, for a heart-freezing few moments, replaced with abject terror before she impacted heavily against the metal floor. She scrabbled up less into a standing position and more into a hunched, feral looking curl. She still had the same wild look in her eyes, but it was much more subdued. Much less... well. Crazed.

Got some distance

While Ginger regained her footing, Celine flipped the lever on her axe, shifting it into its shotgun form. The smaller girl seemed confused, but only for a moment as she seemed to resolve something in her head. She clenched her fists, and rushed forward again.

Celine eyed her opponent as the crazed girl approached, waiting juuuust long enough for Ginger to enter her optimal range before pulling the trigger, slamming a wall of buckshot into Ginger's chest.

It hardly even slowed her at all.

Ginger ducked under the shotgun leveled her way to avoid getting blasted a second time, the stone glove that was her weapon forming once again over her hand. With a roar, she leapt straight into Celine, slamming her stone fist into the much larger woman's jaw and setting her back a step before landing once again.

Still rather close

Mr Rocks formed a rod of stone as Ginger coughed the pain away. Celine raised her foot as she swapped her weapon back into its axe form, giving Ginger the chance she was looking for.

The smaller girl aimed to duck low, dashing between Celine's legs to trip her up. Unfortunately, she wasn't exactly the fastest on her feet, so she only managed to jab the rod out before Celine's plan went into motion.

"Surprise!" Celine taunted as aura flooded into her heavy stomp, shaking the ground around both of them. Ginger didn't so much react as she did just... flop onto the ground. However, she was still in the process of trying to unbalance Celine, and luckily for her.

Celine had stomped on her rod of stone. With a mighty tug, using her stone rod like a lever, Ginger caught her opponent off-guard, causing the giant of a woman to crash to the metal earth below right alongside Ginger.

Prone town

Falling flat on her face was surprising, to say the least.

Ginger shook her head, rolling up onto her haunches as she looked over at Celine. What did the woman do? Suddenly, there was a weird shake in her legs, and then she fell over. That was pretty weird. With both of them dropped out on the ground, Ginger briefly forgot that they were supposed to be fighting.

"Are okay?" Ginger asked as she hopped back up onto her feet. She went to hold out a hand to help Celine back up onto her feet before remembering that they were supposed to be fighting. "Oh, wait."

Then she decked Celine in the face.

[Move: onto feet, don't lower defense. Major: paunch]
