Back to Immortal Kombat

The Horror Under Lock and Key (Infernal Monster Style)

vs

Hestia (Crystal Chameleon Style)

Match rules:

Competitors started 99 yards apart in the wet, muggy jungles of An-Teng. The jungle is filled with the noise of wildlife, and the daylight is almost unable to make it to the forest-littered ground through the tangle of canopy.

Full Essence 3 character build (including all Artifacts) allowed.

To the death(ish).

Tick -1

The Horror Under Lock and Key and Hestia Join Battle!

HULK gets 6 successes, Hestia only gets 3.

Tick 0

The Horror Under Lock and key can barely make out his opponent so far away through the undergrowth. He takes the opportunity to activate Infernal Monster Form

(Speed 6 DV -1)

Tick 3

Hestia becomes a Deadly Beastman in a Relentless Lunar Fury and in an impressive display of strength uproots an 800 pound tree to swing menacingly in the Infernal's direction.

(Speed 5 DV -1)

Tick 6

The Infernal Monster goes a bit emo and activates By Pain Reforged. He starts moving towards the Lunar cautiously.

(Speed 3 DV -0, Move 5 yards) (Total Distance: 94 yards)

Tick 8

Hestia activates Crystal Chameleon Form, paradoxically becoming highly noticeable and yet sort of invisible at the same time.

(Speed 6 DV -1) (Total Distance: 84 yards)

Tick 9

The Horror Under Lock and Key keeps warily approaching the kaleidoscopic display and activates Retribution Will Follow.

(Speed 3 DV -0, Move 5 yards) (Total Distance: 79 yards)

Tick 12

Enjoying the chance to power up, the Monster activates Viridian Legend Exoskeleton and is encased in a brassy chitin. He continues his relentless trudge towards the Lunar.

(Speed 7 Dv -1, Move 5 yards) (Total Distance: 64 yards)

Tick 14

Hestia, in a display of bravado, turns and moons the Infernal as she activates Light-Treading Technique. This may have been more effective if she had been easier to spot. :)

(Speed 5 DV -1) (Total Distance: 54 yards)

Tick 19

The Infernal and the Lunar engage in a small amount of smack talk as the Horror Under Lock and Key hides behind an enormous tree. Hestia is unable to spot him so she charges forwards swinging her improvised club from side to side smashing aside everything in her path and calling "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

(Hestia Speed 3 DV -2, Dash 11 yards) (HULK Speed 3 DV -0, Move 5 yards) (Total Distance: 28 yards)

Tick 20

(Total Distance: 17 yards)

Tick 21

(Total Distance: 6 yards)

Tick 22

As Hestia nears him, the Infernal activates The Horror Under Lock and Key SMASH! combo.

But oh no! Hestia activates her Peek-a-Boo! Combo and counterattacks!

There is a moment of green, purple and silver anima flaring carnage and Creation seems to be motionless awaiting the outcome...

Hestia chuckles and continues to Dash away in a glowing streak of prismatic light. The Horror Under Lock and Key roars and follows inexorably.

(HULK Speed 5, DV -1, 12HL) (Hestia Speed 3, DV -2, Dash 13 yards, 21HL) (Total Distance: 0 yards)

Tick 23

(Total Distance: 8 yards)

Tick 24

(Total Distance: 14 yards)

Tick 25

The grievously wounded, yet still chuckling Tigress, heals a single wound and continues sprinting away from the Monster.

(Speed 3, DV -2, Dash 13 yards) (Total Distance: 20 yards)

Tick 26

(Total Distance: 33 yards)

Tick 27

With a mighty outraged bellow, the Infernal Monster activates his SMASH! Combo again...

The Lunar becomes a smear of fur and bloody paste upon the jungle floor, and most of the surrounding flora.

(Hestia, dead, dead, 38HL!!!)

Tick 28

The Horror Under Lock and Key is declared the Winner!
