The Beastmaster leads Dav and Thorn to a large destoryed looking arena. It seems as if it has intentially be left this way for some odd reason. On the ground is the large guild symbol of the Gruul. He leads both mages to the center and begins to speak.
Beastmaster: Dav and Thorn this will be a standard battle. There is no ante, and no death. You will each begin with 15 life. Dav winning here isn't necessarilly going to be easy so should you fail and do well in the eyes of some of the Gruul you may still be able to continue on. Now we Gruul have at least one measure of fairness for our new initiates and that is to allow you the pleasure of going first. Make your actions count. Now walk over to that beaten chunk of rock over there and draw your initial mana and come out ready. You to Thorn.
With that the Beast master assumes the location of the judge and awaits the battles begginning. Dav while walking over to his "rock" can see that within the arena sit quite a few mages all bearing some mark of the Gruul. All eyes seem to be falling upon him.

Pulling forth the initial mana Dav fires two quick bolts of lightning at Thorn as off of the pillar he creates a third spark starts dancing towards Thorn.

Both shocking blasts stirike thorn and the elemental deals a large strike to him. The strikes cause everyone to cheer. It seems as if the crowd is with Dav. Then Thorn begins to act.
Green mana begins to flow around Thorns body and two summoning circles form in front of him. A pair of Essence Wardens form one after the other. Revitalizing life flows slowly back into Thorn. Then he smiles as he draws a large pillar into existance behind him it seems to blend in with the background and it also seems to sap his life away somewhat. Then a third warden appears drawing more life back into Thorn. Saped of visible mana Thorn then begins to draw some form of magic from his elves. Two of them take a knee and a small spider shaped saporling appears. More vitality rushes back into Thorn. The same process happens again as the saporling and remaining elf kneel and then another saporling appears. More life flows back into Thorn and he looks unharmed.

Thorn looks at Dav with a somewhat irritated look. He reaches into his mana supply and draws yet another large stone pillar that surges with the power of the arena. He winces a little but shrugs off any significant pain he might be feeling. Then he summons yet another Essence warden and some life flows back into his body repairing the wound that he had created. Drawing from the other open mana source more green mana flows freely. All of his creatures take a knee lending their power to the mage. Then instead of a single saporling a series of three are shot out as if Thorn had to scatter the seeds. The three remain somwhat palcid for a moment and then two of them find themselves kneeling and another saporling appears.
Thorn:
Life: 15 (No change with mass lifegain)
2x Stomping Ground (tapped)
2x Essence warden (Convoke tapped)
6x Saporling (4x convoke tapped)
Graveyard:
3x Sprout Swarm
1x Scatter the Seeds

"This is getting annoying," Dav yelled as he hammered the ground a third time. As the mana flowed into his body three goblins came jumping down off the top of the pillars waiting for his command on what to take out, "Wait my gobos, wait"

Seeing the fanatics makes Thorn acutally take Dav a little more seriously. One of his hands is set somewhat over the top of the ground and another large stone spire draws itself into existance. The pain from the land is soon replaced by the healing glow of the elves as both of them kneel down along with 3 of the saporlings creating 3 more saporlings. Those three new saporlings then kneels down and a little bit of mana is drawn from the mana sources that Thorn Controls drawing yet another 3 Saporlings appear.
Then with a force that seems to fit what he has required three of the original saporlings begin to run to attack Dav. From the last of his mana Thorn aims a hand over at Dav and a Lava dart shots out from it and hits him directly in the chest
Thorn:
Life: 15 (No change with mass lifegain)
3x Stomping Ground (3x tapped)
2x Essence warden (Both convoke tapped)
12x Saporlings (6x convoke tapped 3 SS 3 Attacking)
As the three saprolings charge at Dav he grabs the Fanatics and tosses them in front of the attackers then he kicks all three into Thorn's side of the arena, two of them knocking the Essence Wardens down and the third heading right for Thorn's head.
Life: 14
Plays: Moggs blocking the Saprolings then sac them to kill two of the Essence Wardens and one hitting Thorn right in the face

Three saporlings stand and absorb the damage thrown at Thorn. Then Two of them kneel as the shock begins to swirl in their body and another fresh sapporling appears nearby. The other elemental and flame blast strike Thorn directly in his chest. He seems to waver a little as that last attack did do some damage. But then he just looks over at Dav slightly impressed. Drawing a mountian instead of the large stone pillar Thorn begins to summon his mana to his body. He speaks slowly and decisively.
Thorn: This battle ends here my friend. Should the others agree I beleive you may indeed have what it takes to be a member of the Gruul.
With that said the ground starts to buble and fizzle and crack as if the ground itslef were becomeing a furnace. All of the Saporlings begin to spring with red firely mana and they pack a double force. All 7 of them lunge to finish Dav off.
Dav holds up his hand as he wishes he had saved his mana for more damage. "I give I give, you have won. I know when I cannot protect myself.

As Dav raises his hand the mages the Gruul around him howl with delight of the battles end. The Beastmaster quells their senseless babble and then looks to the crowd.
Beastmaster: So has this mage proven himself worthy of our name or is he still to new and needs to be sent back untill he has learned more and grown with greater skill.
After a short moment of silence the crowd members stand up and from each a red flame can be seen.
Beastmaster: Hmmm so it seems that they have made their decision. Dav step foward and join me for your decision.

The beastmaster looks at him with a very grave look and then replies.
Beastmaster: Yes.....You have successfully completed the first part of your initiation but remember that you still have one more part before you become a full member but for now go and rest. You did well. I never expected you to actually do that much damage to Thorn. It is quite the suprise and it seems that the rest of the crowd shares my suprise. I will come and find you when i have have your assignment from Mistress Radah Now as i said before go and rest you will need all your strength for your upcomeing quest.
OOC: This thread now be closed. You have successfully completed the first part of your guild initiation. You still do not gain access to your spells though as you must complete your full guild mission before your reap that reward.
