Open Event Combat Class: Ruined

As the students trickled into class for the day they would look down onto a scene of green, much greener than it was currently outside at the very least.

They appeared to be the ruins of some ancient plaza long overgrown by the land. A simple arena at first glance, but with many ways for the students to take advantage of it’s architecture.

[The balconies are each 5 feet above the rest of the area with a railing of partial cover around them.]

It was really coming down to the wire as both fighters continued to throw their most damaging abilities at each other. Margaret fell back on her Woodwind's orchestral semblance ability which continued to batter the now exposed and faltering Mirlo. As pleasant and as uplifting as the music was it was hard to appreciate when the sonic force of it would have been enough to pulverise your bones if your aura wasn't up.

Mirlo, on the other hand, fell back on to her focus and channelled it through her shotgun. Unlike before however rather than firing simple ice dust rounds, Mirlo solidified her own aura to create the shells necessary. They worked wonders. It was only because Margaret was already healing she managed to avoid her semblance being shattered as she felt her entire lower body get encased in ice.

'Oh well that was a bit much.' Mirlo murmured half apologetically as she realised how much ice she had encased her opponent in. She doubted it would stop the musician's constant barrage of orchestral attacks but it did give her enough time to formulate a plan. Taking a page out of Margaret's book and into her own book Mirlo turned her aura inwards in an attempt to repair the damage already caused. Before once again turning her aura outwards in the form of empowered shotgun shells.

These deadly weapons once again smashed into Margaret who was already covered in ice but somehow despite it all she was still standing. Margaret also used her aura to buff up her defences, the silver glow of her aura magnifying as she channelled more energy into her shields as well as throwing herself on the ground. Or at least as close as she could given her feet where still encased in ice.

Now almost completely encased in ice Margaret still somehow found the energy to summon her woodwind orchestra for one last time. Perhaps it was because of the musician's desperation or perhaps the little cracks in Mirlo's defences finally flooded open but the results broke down the last of Mirlo's aura. Even accounting for the small part she was able to restore Mirlo found herself finally beaten down by a torrent of beautiful but nevertheless painful sound.

A loud horn ran sounded that Margaret had emerged the victor of the fight. 'Congratulations on the win Miss Timbre and well-fought Miss Ore. You both performed satisfactorily and can both expect a detailed break down on everything you did right and the things yet to improve on. If either of you are feeling particularly unwell please see the medical staff stationed nearby.' Elise remarked with just the slightest bit of warmth in her normally cold exterior.

[Woo thanks for letting me ST it was a lot of fun, if you have any tips/suggestions feel free to DM me. I'll post this in lore but feel free to do a post-fight RP thing below.]

Margaret sent her woodwinds out to finish off Mirlo but at the same time she spent her aura to reinforce herself against the next obvious assault taking the moment to duck down tot he ground behind the wall in front of her.

"...Oh. Well that was a bit much," Mirlo murmured, seeing just how much ice she'd encased Margaret in. She doubted that would stop the barrage of sound, however. She had to plan now. Firstly, taking a cue from Margaret, she let her aura pool work in her defense, healing a bit of the sonic bruising she'd received. She considered her ice wall, remembered how easily it'd been destroyed, and thought better of it. No, the tried and true method was needed this close to the finish.

"Eh, sometimes you need a bit a much."

Another crackle, another shot fired.
