> Rush is sent flying back, having no defense against such attacks. Grimacing with pain, he waves a hand, causing the sky to darken. A bolt of lightning streaks out of the sky to hit Eldak.
> Eldak quickly moves around the lightning, putting his hands up, using his magic to redirect it towards Rush, adding an explosive punch to it.
> Rush is barely able to redirect the lightning around him, causing a good chunk of the arena to be pulverized. He resumes playing his lute, casting a disorientation spell on Eldak to reduce his accuracy.
- Eldak's speed , charted at a 5, is at most, 100km/62mph.
- The speed of lightning is roughly 3600 miles per second, vastly faster than what Eldak should be able to dodge, and redirect
- Also, a case of Eldak using magic however suits him “because magic,” while disregarding the effects of other people's spells entirely.
> Eldak knocks them away with his claws, then pulls out a wooden staff, smacking it into Rush's collar bone.
- Instantly declaring that his attack landed is a big no-no.
> With a crack, another bone is broken. Rush simply can't keep up with the Dragon born. Running out of options, he musters all of his power for a final attack. Freezing cold, bolts of lightning, waves of electric water, and disorientating magic assault Eldak, seeking to slow him down.
> Eldak uses his magic to simply teleport the blast away, and to block out the sound, as he quickly gives Rush one good solid whack upside the head with his staff.
- continued instances of simply deciding that Eldak's magic is able to automatically negate anyone else's spells

> Henry sighs, shooting a large burst of electricity from one hand while spraying a wider arc from the other.
> Eldak quickly jumps over the lightning, blasting Henry with a mighty explosion.
- Again with the dodging lighting (3700 mph)
> The attack sends Henry flying back quite a distance from the shockwave of the blast before barely landing on his feet. He tries another spell, this time casting a barrage of small energy bolts that try to hone in on Eldak
> Eldak opens a magic portal, sending the energy bolts away, then quickly rushes Henry, hitting him with his staff.
- Again with declaring that the attacks hit, as opposed to stating that he attempted to land a hit
> Eldak backs up, letting Henry taking to the skies, unfurling his wings, quickly jumping into the sky, moving even faster, slamming Henry with his staff, adding an explosive effect.
- And again, continually using language that suggests that Eldak's attacks hit before the opponent can say if they do or not.
> While Henry does manage to avoid the staff itself, the explosion does a good job at knocking him around. He sends a stream of energy pulsing from his hands, trying to fly around Eldak in hopes of disorienting the Dragonborn rather than going for pure damage.
> Eldak takes the energy pulse, pushing him, but he easily keeps up with Henry. "Son, you aren't a very quick flier, I will say that."
> "I'm not going top speed yet, if you must know."
Henry's speed increases his speed, maintaining a distance while adjusting the pulse to try to find an ideal frequency to throw off Eldak's equilibrium.
[They are both 5] ”
> [Yeah, I need to edit in a part of the chart that seperates flying from running or something.]
Eldak blocks the pulse with his claws, then opens his maw and shouts in the dragon tongue unrelenting force at Henry.”
> [Well, there's nothing wrong with not being the best at everything.]
> "Ah, krosis."
Realizing that his attempts to throw off Eldak weren't proving all that effective, he decides to stop wasting energy with that attack and doesn't fight against the thu'um, moving with its force without any resistance. He gets pushed around in the air, but isn't particularly hurt by the shout as he begins forming a more complicated spell to hopefully stun Eldak. ”
> [Bullshit.]Eldak charges magic into his staff, creating a portal behind Henry, and blasting an explosion out of it.”
- Continued instances of simply declaring that Eldak is automatically faster, even though their speed stats were identical
Also, continued disregard to acknowledge that anything thrown at Eldak is capable of doing what it was intended to do
> The tendril begin to tighten, restricting his mobility and attempting to pull Eldak to the ground while wearing away at his stamina. Hopefully Henry would be able to get Eldak to surrender before he tired himself out. ”
> Eldak easily blast the tentacles away, but then holds up his hand. "I yield, the kid wins." ”
> Henry ends the spell, nearly collapsing on the ground in disbelief, unsure of what exactly was happening at the moment. Or even who was actually judging the match if at all.
> "Ah man, that took most of it out of me."
Reggie hopped on over to Henry, and began sharing a bit of his energy to help him get back up, while looking up at Eldak.
"So, how big of a bet did you place on him?" ”
> Eldak just looks over. "I didn't I just stopped caring, and if I kept pushing him, he would have killed himself. His reserves are still small, I am ancient, I can command a much higher volume of magic. So it looks like the prize is yours." ”
- Same as before, continued disregard to acknowledge that any attempts to damage, disorient or stun Eldak are in any way effective, using the rationale of both “because magic” and “Eldak's magic is always better."

> After several more minutes, they are down to just the head, which is glowing brightly with cosmic energy, as Dominus says his final words. "I may not have been able to finish my work, but I have done enough, enough to make it so that no longer will the weak will rule the strong, but now you will have to rule them." He says, as Eldak finishes the magic circle, and activates it, and in a flash, Dominus is drained of all energy, and dies, leaving only a chunk of metal.
Lilly then falls over and faints from the exertion.
- Continued use of “because magic” as a means for Deus Ex Machina.

> Thodak immediately increases the gravity ten fold, then creating several more hell fire snakes, striking at Narratus.
- None of Thodak's immediate powers suggest the ability to manipulate gravity.
> A dozen hell fire snakes appear before them, as Eldak[sic] moves closer from behind, the snakes moving past the lightning unaffected, striking at them, then creating a wave of fire over them.
-Continued handwaving that other characters' magic never has any effect on your own.
> Thodak appears in front of them. "You are within my territory, you cannot escape." He says in a terrifying voice, then breathes a massive stream of hell fire at them, as a wave of hell fire comes to wash over them from behind.
- Unholy Territory is not the same as [Personal Domain](http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Personal_Domain)
> The pair fly upwards, but cannot evade the fire in time. Fortunately, Rush has other tricks up his sleeve. Massive whips of electric water appear, intercepting and dousing the flame as best as they can. The pair continue to fly away, reaching the edge of the territory.
> The water cannot put out the unholy flame, as it keeps chasing them, to the wall, which immediately catches a flame, with a massive wall of hellfire.
"I said you can't escape, and I wasn't joking." He says flatly, as a massive group of Hell fire snakes surround the pair.
> Knowing that there is little hope for either of them, Narratus turns to Thodak.
"Well then, do it. If you truly wish death upon one who sought only to help your people, then I will not challenge you any longer."
> Thodak simply watches, as Hell fire washes around them, then immediately covers them, soaking them in hellish flame, burning them completely, like volcanic napalm.
- How can't they escape? You simply decided to declare that they were in an inescapable situation, even when it should not have been
- Automatically writing how your attack automatically kills two characters is a MASSIVE no-no
