I'm going to put my bet on Vox and The Spartan in the last fight.  They're the best balanced team in this tournament and as we've seen The Spartan is a complete tank.

[Josephus]

What's your call on the current fight, though? I've run it, and I'm typing up the writeup now, but I'm wondering what your take on the match is.

[Howells]

I'm gonna go with Ravus and Melvin, because they have superior skills.

[ArthurWilborn]

I'm gonna go with Ravus and Melvin, because they have superior skills.

Me too; snakemen aren't good except against tiny fighters.

[Siquo]

Too awesome not too follow. This is great!

[Josephus]

And you were both spot on.

Match Seven

Ravus Maniacus (Raving Maniac) and Melvin the Mace (Carpman) versus Eclipse (Eclipsetail) and OW! Bitey! (Mrbobbyg)
Managers Ravus Maniacus, Carpman, Eclipse and OW! Bitey!

"It's the second to the last day of the Elimination round, Olon, and the crowd is loving it!"
"They have every reason to be loving it, Urist. Today we've got a dwarf, a goblin, a snakeman, and an elf in the ring, ready to duke it out!"
"Our hometown hero, Ravus Maniacus, wields a huge steel halberd. He's not messing around, folks, and neither is his partner, Melvin the Mace, a goblin with a big silver mace and a history of working in the 'protection' business!"
"And on the other side, we've got their opponents, Eclipse the elf, expert with the short sword, and OW! Bitey! a snakeman whose only desire is to bite you to death!"
"Good breakdown, Olon. Let's see how this match goes!"

OW! Bitey! makes the first attack of the round, biting at Ravus, but missing badly. Melvin answers by charging Eclipse, smashing him in the gut with his mace and injuring him despite the armor! The elf is knocked over by the impact. Ravus makes an attack of his own, stabbing the snakeman solidly in the head, but for once in the tournament a helmet saves someone's life, and the attack is deflected handily.

Bitey!, incensed, bites Ravus in the leg, but fails to penetrate a vein. Ravus responds by slashing Bitey! in the mouth, lodging the blade of his halberd inside with a spurt of blood. He withdraws his halberd and brings it around again to slash off Bitey!'s hand, and again to make a stunning blow to Bitey's head! He finishes the job by cutting Bitey! in half with a swift halberd attack.

Meanwhile, Melvin has been exercising his mace skills on Eclipse's face. After beating on him again and again with his weapon, Melvin allows Eclipse to get to his feet then charges again, slamming his silver mace into his shoulder with enough force to shatter the bone! The elf falls unconscious.

Having finished with the snakeman, Ravus joins Melvin in beating seven shades of ever loving hell out of the unconscious elf, eventually tiring and simply cutting him in half.

Winner: Ravus Maniacus and Melvin the Mace!

"One for the home team, Olon! Go Ravus!"
"As announcers, we're supposed to be impartial. But it's good to see a dwarf beat an elf in front of his loving fans."

Next match: Queen Sting and Mollie versus Vox and The Spartan

[Josephus]

Match Eight

Queen Sting (Kregoth) and Mollie (Barconis) versus Vox (Vox Nihili) and TheSpartan (TheMountainKing)
Managers Kregoth, Barconis, Vox Nihili, and TheMountainKing

"Here it is, Olon! The end of the elimination round and the beginning of the Quarter Finals."
"Now, hold your horses! Not quite yet, Urist!"
"That's right! Today, we've got the last match of the Eliminations - Queen Sting, a fierce Antwoman with three whips and a shield, accompanied by the raging axedwarf Mollie! Give 'em a big hand, folks! I like their odds - Mollie's pretty good with that axe, and we've seen what that antwomen aren't all that fragile"
"But on the other hand, we've got their opponents. Please rise for the founder of this glorious tournament, Vox! He's sporting only an iron dagger and a shield. Does he know something we don't, Urist?"
"I don't know, Olon. His partner is the human TheSpartan, wielding a bronze spear and a shield! Look at those glorious abs!"
"You look, Urist. You look. I've got to get this match rolling!"

Mollie opens the match with a charge, swinging her heavy axe at Vox. He parries easily with his smaller weapon and strikes back, but Mollie dances out of reach just in time, saving herself a nasty cut. She attempts to hit him again, but Vox parries again as well. Frustrated, Mollie gives all her strength into one big strike - embedding her axe in Vox's shield! Vox drops the shield and severs Mollie's head at the neck, ending the duel quickly.

Meanwhile, Queen Sting has charged Spartan and tangled together with him, ending up in a graceless jumble on the ground. A dizzying array of blows from Queen Sting are barely blocked and countered by Vox and Spartan, who ought to be thankful for their oaken shields. They make their own counterstrikes, but Queen Sting's shield moves like the wind, catching their strikes effortlessly.

However, Spartan sees his opening and lances Queen Sting in the side, opening up her guard! Vox follows up with a stab to the leg, as Spartan withdraws his spear and stabs the antwoman in the arm, forcing her to drop the spear. Vox stabs Queen Sting in the abdomen now, sinking his weapon in deeply and beginning to twist, while Spartan twists his own embedded spear in Queen Sting's leg. She tries to lash Vox feebly, but it is too late; the damage has been done. Vox steps away as Spartan holds the Queen immobile with his spear and cuts her in half with his dagger.

Winner: Vox and The Spartan!

"Vox and the Spartan have displayed amazing teamwork and won, ending the Elimination round with a flourish!"
"That's right, Urist, and now we move to the Quarter-Finals. May the best team win!"
