[b]Objective: [/b]Survive, and give Nocturne a good fight
[b]Location:[/b] Hargeon
[b]Posts:[/b] 1+
[b]Word Count:[/b] 1500+
[b]Mages Required:[/b] Solo
[b]Reward:[/b] 4000
[b]Request description:[/b] Has Hargeon really degraded so far? Will none of you weak fools even lift a finger to defend your honor? If a decent fighter steps into the ring perhaps they'll walk away with some of my wealth.

[b]Request details:[/b] While walking through Hargeon you'll encounter a giant crowd forming a ring around a group of combatants. Off to the side are several defeated mages. The current challenger is covered in wounds and breathing heavily, while the swordsman remains still, with a calm air about him. As the challenger attempts to make an attack the swordsman quickly dodges and finishes him.

Nocturne will boast about his victory and claim to be bored with the town, he'll speak of giving the one that can make him break a sweat a pouch full of jewels. At this time you can enter or wait.

If you wait: another man will step forward and you'll get to see all of Nocturne's abilities in action you'll also see that after using a spell he appears to be in pain.

If you choose to rush in: he'll, still be a little tired from the earlier brawl and will move a bit slower.

You'll notice that he seems to be toying with you and doesn't actually want to harm anybody from his hometown. Survive for at least 500 words (after the fight begins) in order to claim the prize.
