Tal paced back and forth on his side of the arena floor while he waited for the Judge to finish his long winded speech... Tal wasn't one for long speeches, prefering the action of the moment instead then when the Judge finally shouted that the match was to begin Tal's whole demeanor changed from fidgety to a more serious and composed look.

Tal noticed that he had won the right to go first, and quickly started summoning the unfamiliar mana of the area he had been living in for the past two years. As he did so the arena floor began to flatten as a meadow-like appearance began to replace it. Shortly after that Tal used some of the energy from the Meadow to call forth a Maiden dressed in white-silk to his side.
As the Elf came into existence, Tal felt renewed vigor channeling up into him as the woman he had summoned to his side sang a soothing song.
Unfamiliar with that type of Elf, Tal was unaware of the potential it had, yet he could sense the mana that it held within its body. He wasn't frightened in the least. He just prepared for what would inevitably come.
Tal flattened more of the land as he prepared his second summoning, this one appeared to be a human wearing black armor who would probably be quite at home in this city as well as outside of it. Meanwhile the woman's singing renewed itself and Tal felt renewed again.
Tal felt the surge of renewing energy as the woman chanted her song of life into him. Tal then flattened some more ground around him, and with it called on the powers of his Goddess to bless the Guard who stood at his side with a holy strength.

Tal throws out his hands as he does so a circle of divine light develops in between the two combatants, shielding them from each other preventing them from harming one another.

Dorel nodded. "Defensive minded. An excellent mindset." He said. With that, he called forth a crazed looking elf. With a wave of his hands, clawed bracers appeared on it's wrists.
Tal felt the hymn of his Maiden well up again as he nodded in appreciation of the new Elves. They reminded him of one particularly nasty tribe of Elves back home. With that he flattened the land some more preparing for the attack that was likely to be coming soon. Next he brought forth an child who was wielding a pike and looked like a raw recruit, yet was heavily armored. Finally he placed a blessing on that child similar to the one he had placed on the Guard earlier.
Tal felt the rush that came from the maiden's singing once more. He noticed something odd about the elves, One of them had an ability that prevented his defenders from doing their job. However, that doesn't mean the lands of his homeland can't do its work and mire the elves anyways. With that, Tal called on the one connection to his homeland he was still able to maintain. A connection that must be present in this world as much as it is his homeland as well. This connection caused a mire to develop just in front of his line of defense. Only those trained in avoiding it would be able to avoid getting trapped in the mire.
Tal then focused his efforts on bolstering his defenses some more. He placed another blessing on the child knight and called for yet another of the Guards to take his place beside him. All the while being bolstered by the woman's singing as he did so. Then he indicated for the Elf to take his turn.
Tal cocks his head intrigued by the new development "You appear to be familiar with my homeland, Elf." he states as he feels the soothing music of the maiden encircle him.
As soon as the music subsides he draws some more power from his homeland, calling forth another mire pit to his side. He fully intended to end this soon, but he wasn't about to make any risky moves before absolutely necessary. With that he called forth another blessing and placed it on the remaining Guard that had as of yet not received any blessings. He then indicated that he was done for the turn.

Tal feels the beautiful song wash over him once again. He then flattens the land once again, and uses it's energy to call forth another Child Knight to his side. This fight was getting rather boring for him, as his opponent wasn't doing anything but summoning creatures to just... stand there and look pretty.
Dorel summoned one more elemental, as the phantasm of a tree appeared behind him. He then enchanted one of the others with a similar set of claws, and sent it to attack.
Tal feels the life giving hymn take hold, then he notices the attacking creature, he smiles a little bit as he holds out his hands and a field of divine energy comes forward protecting him from the onslaught.
Tal is getting a little concerned, but it should be a little longer before this battle is over.
Tal Flattens the land some more as he does so he calls forth another Steadfast Guard. He then directs his Child Knight to lead an attack with his two previously summoned guards in hot pursuit against his opponent.
The two berserkers each block a guard, while an empowered elf blocks the powerful knight, and the other is blocked by one of the elementals.
OOC: Bracered elf is growthed, blocks one Steadfast Guard, non bracered elf is chumped to the other guard, powerful knight is blocked by a Llanowar elf, non enchanted knight is blocked by an elemental.
Tal nods his head in approval as two of his opponents creatures are killed in the line of duty. Despite the fact that one of his own men had to die to achieve this small victory, Tal was quite happy with the results. He then motioned for his opponent to take his turn.
