Mini Arena 1
The mood is strange, even for an arena. Every stylist is different, of course, but this arena has thrown people for a loop, and they adjust to them differently.
25 - 24 - 23
The clothes are simple, and the tribute are loaded up quickly. Obviously the stylist have been informed what to tell them, what warnings to give. That there will be two sounds, one for a murdered death and one for an accidental one.
20 - 19 - 18 - 17 - 16
The platforms lift them up, and they are in a tight ring, all facing outwards, in a courtyard ringed by a tall stone wall. To one side is a ring of weapons laid out, brutal looking things. To the other is a ring of supply bags. The pedestals all sit directly in the middle. And beyond them a series of entrances to the maze beyond.
11- 10 - 9 - 8
They've all been warned, don't step off your pedestal early. They have also been warned to put on a good show. Don't kill yourself off, and make sure not to be in the arena when the time ends, without having won. Or else you might not be coming back.

The sound of the gong plays crystal clear across the opening. Let the games begin.
((OOC-feel free to play out cornucopia here, and then start your own threads just like any other arena. There is still some OOC plotting going around, so I am going to say there are 10 people murdered and the arena lasts 22 hours.))

But she doesn't attack. She's not foolish enough to not charge in when she doesn't know how good he is with that sword and her scales aren't going to be enough to keep her from being injured for long. Instead, she lowers her head and offers a low hiss. She might be perfectly capable of speech when she wants to, but right now it doesn't seem like a good time to do so. Not when she she can still manage a decently impressive threat display.
no subject
The hiss, of course, is the opposite of reassuring. He stands his ground, gripping his sword in a more defensive manner than before, baring his teeth in a scowl as he mulls over the situation.
"Stand down." He orders, no shake or semblance of fear in his voice.
no subject
"Whyever should I?" she answers in return, spreading her wings as much as the confines of the maze allow her too.
no subject
He grits his teeth when he's sassed by said giant lizard, watching those wings spread warily and holding his ground. "If you're looking to fight, I won't back down. However, if you'd be so kind as to let me past, I'd save you the embarrassment of being bested by a man with a sword." He quirks a brow at her, feeling decidedly arrogant about making his way out of this damn maze.
no subject
"I have defeated men before," she counters, and it's true. She's made it a long way in the Arenas, if she's not yet managed to squeeze out a win herself and even before then she has a long career of fighting - and winning - battles on a grander scale than this. So what should one man with a sword mean to her, when she has no idea of how he fights or even if he happens to be as good as he thinks he is.
JUST CONFIRMING do you want hans to kill her?
As such, when he strikes, it's fast. He's launching at her quickly and taking a swing, trying to gauge her intentions. He's prepared to dodge if she strikes, but if she does he'll know this is a real fight.
I am perfectly okay with him killing her!
The speed with which he strikes is a little surprising, but she's reacting almost before she's finished recognizing the fact, as she snaps out as if to bite him - or at the very least, catch something in her jaws.

His best bet is her underbelly, though he can't rightfully see if it's soft. Well, he couldn't. Not until the jaws snapping close have him hitting the ground and rolling. He decides to go out on a limb and plunge his sword upward and under her in attempt to pierce a softer area.
no subject
It's not enough to kill her, yet, but she's bleeding and judging by the angry hiss that follows, she's not at all pleased. Still, if there's one good thing about being mostly under her it means that he's out of reach of those snapping jaws. On the other hand, there are still those claws to look out for, and she's doing everything in her power to at least land some manner of blow in return.
