The air ripped as the halberd whirled; its wicked blade whistling a deadly tune. Ember saw it coming, but he zigged when he shoud have zagged as he flew headlong toward Chuck, throwing his carefully timed flight off by a hairsbreadth. The force of the impact was immense – not a killing blow, but a solid slash across the fairy's ribs that sent a searing pain through his side and spun him sideways. Ember's speed and dexterity the only things that kept him from being split in two, but, all the same, the breath was driven from his lungs in a ragged gasp.
Chuck, momentarily surprised at how well his attack had done, overextended his swing, leaving a fleeting opening. This was Ember's chance. Ignoring the throbbing in his chest, Ember channeled a desperate surge of adrenaline, pushing forward, driving himself inside Chuck's reach. Ember was a blur of motion, fueled by the primal urge to survive and a deep understanding of the halberd's weakness at close quarters.
Ember's goal was to be close enough to grapple, to negate the long reach that had nearly claimed his life. The world narrowed to the small space between you, the glint of Chuck's surprised eyes, and the glint of your own weapon, now poised to strike where the halberd's sweeping arc could no longer protect him.
Dexterity: Dirty 20 Movement: "In your face!" (or at least a flying 'Dash' of sorts) Dagger -> To Hit: 19 Dmg: 6 piercing
Ember tries to stay well within the sweep of the halberd basically rendering the deadlier bit of the weapon 'pointless'. :p
Alexia is still calmly observing the fight, eating popcorn. It's a good thing she didn't bet on Ember.

"HA! I don't have any coin for you to steal. Have some of this instead. Pocket confetti!"
The Wiz tosses confetti at the eyes of the smelly belly.
OOC: The Wiz is actually penniless right now and he does actually have confetti lol! Wasn't sure what to roll, so I just did an Unarmed Strike for 7 to Attack. -_-;;
Chuck goes for s kick to knock Ember to the ground and lines up an overhead smash!
KICK DC 13 Dex or Str save or knocked prone
SMASH! Attack: 11 Damage: 8
Ember used DEX vs the Kick: 16
Being a fast, zippy flying fairy, Ember was able to avoid the kick and the 'smash'. He tries hard to keep inside Chuck's arm reach so the halberd will be ineffective as the fairy's fighting style is built around agility and speed, a stark contrast to the halberdier's reach. Chuck, with a bellow that vibrates the very air, lunges forward, aiming to pin the fairy with a sweeping arc of their weapon. But Ember is a blur, dodging with incredible speed, a streak of red and gold against the dull backdrop of the pit.
The halberd strikes only empty air, leaving Chuck off-balance. The crowd, momentarily silenced, erupts in a mix of gasps and cheers.
Ember, seizing the moment, zips in close, his blade a flickering dance around the Chuck's arm, seeking an opening to score a decent blow.
Dagger - To Hit: 18 Dmg: 4 piercing
The battle continues, a desperate dance between power and precision, between the massive reach of the halberd and the dizzying speed of the fairy, each searching for the advantage that will decide their fate in the pit.
The supposed pick pocket leaps back from the shower of confetti and stumbles over another patron. He has a mixture of fear and embarrassment on his face as he tries to melt into the crowd.
Chuck, barely patched back together from the beating he was handed by Alexia goes down!
"WINNER! The Fairy is victory!" Chuck is again dragged off to some back chambers. There is a light patter of applause and Ember is handed a small pouch.

Ember is very lucky. Chuck's wild swing and jab was not able to keep up with Ember's manic flitting around Chuck's face and body.
With a sharp dip, Ember had hopes of getting in a good stab into his opponent's leg; just enough to slow movement.
To Hit: 7
In the heat of the moment, the zippy, little fae missed and nearly slammed into the sand of the pit instead.

The Wiz's glazed over eyes suddenly come into focus. He squints about, taking in the scene before him with a fantastic 22 on the Perception!
