The arena was covered in a thick layer of snow, with more fluffy white doom fluttering down from the sky! Beneath the snow was ice, making efforts to clear the arena out somewhat hazardous. There was a very gentle chill. Some audience members were even trying to start fires in the stands! ...Campfires. For warmth. You could see a lot of people bundling up to endure the cold, brushing snow and breaking ice off seats so that they could sit down.

"Welcome to a new--Woah!!"

Blue marched out onto the arena floor, only to stop and violently shiver after a few moments, seemingly having abruptly taken notice of the cold. Her little black dress wasn't doing her a lot of favors out here.


"Alright, who touched the thermostat?? I feel like I'm going to freeze out here! ...Of course, obviously someone as hot as me can't freeze, but this is ridiculous! Think about the fans..! I'm ordering an emergency delivery of hot cocoa and coffee to help keep everyone warm. Just five coins~!"

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"Do not look at me, I did not turn this arena into a winter wonderland..." a voice said from behind Blue, as Polar Knight stumped into the arena. He was at peace, the arena was fit for a duel of icy warriors who were used to the chill, and Polar Knight being who he was, felt like he was right at home since he was used to the climate.

In the audience, of the many people in the stands, there were some members of the WVBA in a cluster, Bald Bull looked like he was busy tending to a fire, being helped in this endeavor by Great Tiger and Mr. Sandman himself, while Super Macho Man and the eponymous Drunk Russian stereotype himself; Soda Popinski were having a heated argument about the two combatants that were to Duke it out in the arena; whilst Piston Hondo and Bear Hugger were eagerly awaiting the start of the match alongside the Referee, who was dressed like an eskimo so as to keep warm.

"...HMPH! May the best icy warrior win." Polar Knight said, readying himself for the skirmish, his two-handed snow shovel blade out, his stance unchanged and his mind focused on only one goal, winning the fight.

Rundas walked out into the arena, feeling the icy wind blow against his...face? Did he have one of those? No matter. The cold didn't bother him anyway, so he was pretty comfortable. But then again, his opponent didn't seem bothered by the cold either. Another winter warrior, was it? Perfect.

"Well, I don't mind this cold either" Rundas said, as he pressed a few buttons on his blaster, calibrating it. "So let's have a cool, clean match. I hope your ready to feel my chill." Missiles were loaded, and his blaster was calibrated. He was ready for fight, and hoped that his opponent would give him a proper one.

"I could probably look at the climate control and see if there's anything I can do to fix it."


"...Santa? What're you doing here? Shouldn't you be busy making toys for Christmas?"


" . . . "


"What, was it something I said..? ...Huh. Well, freedom doesn't wait on the comfort of the audience. Sorry, Sunshine Gang! Let's get this show started! This match will be a Sudden Death match! So make every turn count, because it just might be your last!"

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

The match had begun, and ironically enough Polar Knight was only prepared for the fight in a combatant only fashion...  He didn't know what Sudden Death was until he saw the bombs and tried to dodge.
lC9ocYcYp_1d20-3=10(this is going to be a thing isn't it...)

But alas, Polar Knight failed and got a face full of explosion, but did that deter him, with his bulk he could easily withstand this until either he fell in battle from either the explosions adding up, Rundas piling on as much damage as possible, or the 8 turn limit expires.

"One of the primary codes of conduct one must be proficient in for mastering the code of Shovelry, is he be prepared to show ones martial strength, showing no weaknesses of any kind that hold you back." Polar Knight would say, giving a brief instructing tutorial on the code of Shovelry.
p_1d20-1=1(Polar Knight makes an appeal that is bad on so many levels)

He would continue the appeal tactic again, only this time he decided to bury half of the audience in fluffy white stuff!
p_1d20-1=15(slightly better appeal that buries half the audience in snow!)

Then finished up with another appeal, skating on the ice while hurling snowballs at Rundas by way of his Snow Shovel Blade!
p_1d20-1=1(Just as bad as his instructing people on the code of Shovelry!)

65vGnM26p_1d20+1 (Rundas' Bob-omb Dodge: Success!)

Rundas quickly ducked as a bomb shot over his head. "Hey, what's wrong with you people! The match hasn't even started yet!" He turned back to his opponent. He seemed too busy trying to fulfill some of these audience requests to bother trying to attack him, which worked out much better for him! Taking a running start, Rundas leapt into the air and formed a patch of ice underneath him, using the forward momentum to slide around in midair!

(Rundas activates Ice Surfing! +2 DEX for 3 turns!)

From his more mobile, and more importantly, higher vantage point, Rundas took aim at Polar Knight as he was more focused on the audience. "You may have your own code of conduct, knight, but that doesn't apply to me." Rundas called out. It seemed that got Polar Knight's attention, because he started tossing snowballs at him, which he deftly surfed around. "Tsk tsk. That doesn't seem like it'd follow the Shovelry code at all." Taking aim at him, Rundas fired off a few shots of freezing cold energy toward Polar Knight, before calling out again "But tell me this, sir knight. Do you know what killed off the dinosaurs? Because you might end up with the same fate!"

p_1d20+2 (Rundas' Ice Beam! DMG 5%, 10% chance to freeze!)
p_1d20+2 (Again)
p_1d20+2 (And again, but CRIT. DMG 8%, Same Freeze chance)

(Rundas asks Polar Knight about what killed the dinosaurs! Time will tell if he gets the reference)

Polar Knight would attempt to dodge the next bomb wave, sadly he was still too slow and got another face full of explosion as a result!
mbgwHlxbp_1d20-3=8(damn... pardon the swear)

"Ah...  A reference to a movie.  Two words... 'Ice Age'." Polar Knight would say, showing some form of intellect, and to make sure Rundas did not hurt him, would block the attacks with his bubble shield.
Polar Knight blocks all ice beams!: 75-10(activation penalty)-18(all 3 Ice Beam attacks)=47

"I feel as though I am out of my element...  Oh well." Polar Knight said, before attempting to strike Rundas out of the sky by way of Shovel Drop
p_1d20+5=8(Poorly timed Shovel Drop @ Rundas, 18% dmg if it connects, creates Spikes on the ground that only Polar Knight can walk over)

Then tried again, the first one was a bad attempt on his part
p_1d20+5=15(Much better Shovel Drop @ Rundas, 18% dmg if it connects, creates more spikes on the  ground that only Polar Knight can walk on)

Polar Knight would then sign his John Hancock on someone's Brand new copy of the Satan dating simulator!
{Polar Knight spends his final action the do an autograph!}

DIi|8qVJp_1d20+3 (Rundas' Bob-omb dodge: Failure)

Rundas was so focused on taunting his opponent, he wasn't watching where he was going. As he was surfing through the sky, a Bob-omb flew into his path from the audience, nailing him and almost knocking him out of the sky. Luckily, he managed to catch himself before he crashed, and pulled himself back on course. "...Eyes on the sky, Rundas..." he muttered to himself.

p_1d20+3 (Rundas' Shovel Drop dodge 1: Success)
p_1d20+3 (Rundas' Shovel Drop dodge 2: Failure)

Swerving to avoid Polar Knight's shovel, he left himself open to get divebombed by him again as soon as he recovered from his earlier miss. Feeing the shovel chip away at his armor, he turned to shoot a few blasts of ice toward Polar Knight, although they were more of a distraction then anything else

p_1d20+2 (Rundas' Ice Beam! DMG 5%, 10% chance to freeze)
p_1d20+2 (Again)
p_1d20+2 (And again)

While Polar Knight was busy dealing with them, Rundas rushed in close, forming a freezing cold blade of ice in his hands, and slashed at Polar Knight with it!

p_1d20+1 (Rundas' Ice Blade! DMG 26%, 2 turn cooldown)

 "I admit, you're starting to put up a fight. I was afraid you were giving me the cold shoulder all this time." If Rundas had a face, there'd probably be a grin on it right now. Dammit Rundas...

(Rundas makes an obvious Ice joke!)

Polar Knight would chuckle as he heard Rundas make an ice pun, but had to attempt to dodge another bomb volley.
DEX ROLL A: eQqJcBQ6p_1d20-3=17{Finally something good came my way!}

The stalwart Knight would successfully dodge the bomb without a moment to spare and then put up his shield to block the ice beams.
Polar Knight bubble shields the ice beams!{47-10(activation penalty)-15(all 3 ice beams)=22}

When that was all said and done, Polar Knight would try to dodge the icy slash, bit with as with all good things, it came to an end and he took a hit.
DEX ROLL B: p_1d20-3=13(Too good to Last...)

Polar Knight would promptly puthis foot down, quite hard in fact...  So hard that anyone who heard it could swear that he made a miniature earthquake...
STR ROLL A: p_1d20+5=6(Earth-shaking Stomp @ Rundas, 10% dmg and 10% stun chance if it connects, Polar Knight causes a few Alolan Graveler to crash into the arena for his throwing purposes!)

Then Polar Knight would heft up one of the Alolan Graveler that dropped and
STR ROLL B: p_1d20+5=13{Boulder Toss @ Rundas, 12% dmg if it connects}
