Vagabonds - interactive Paintings S2 - Quarterfinal 3: Pattimura vs Mutia

The Vagabonds is an interactive game, here on steemit, based on my original paintings. In the first phase, I presented 8 unique characters, and you, yes, you determined their own unique Name, their positive as well as their negative trait and their unique weapon/artefact/superpower.

Now we're pitching these 8 fictional Vagabonds in fictional one-on-one contests/games/battles, ... also chosen by you! (You can still suggest games/contests/battles as a comment in this post and I'm letting the dice choose randomly for every match - we do have some great suggestions, so thanks already for that! The outcome of the fictional contest is also interactive: I present the characters and the contest, and you can comment on how you see this particular contest turn out, and who wins in your scenario. A winner will be chosen and will move on to the Semi-Final, until we have our Grand Vagabond Winner!

But before we move on to the third Quarter-Final, the second QF must be resolved!

It was Monica, the Neighbourly but Predictive Duchess with her Magical Sceptre of the Dunes:

versus
Zilong, the Courageous but Lovesick Samurai with his Magical Spear:

in a Vagabondish game of Paintball!

• After @fraenk's effin' awesome entry for QF 1, only @edward.maesen dared to take up the challenge in writing an outcome for the Paintball-match between Monica and Zilong. It was a great story though, with some kinky double entendres, some risqué moves: and a clear winner: Monica. I laughed out loud a few times, so you may enjoy the comment if you haven't read it right here.

• Then came the entries by @junsusukhairi, @lintah and @sudong, undaunted by neither @fraenk's or @edward.maesen's entries. I understand not writing in English is a major disadvantage in this stage, but these three, in my opinion, nevertheless, tried their best. Kudos to you!

• And, some time before posting this entry, @fraenk posted his non-qualifying entry which took yet another spin on the Vagabonds lore, in which Zilong is changing his identity to Zygmunt, the Popular but Crazy Mastermind... which happens to be @fraenk's own entry to the character. In a plot-twist, his non-qualifying entry was changed to a Qualifying entry, mere minutes before I started writing this post. This game has everything.

So the dice will have to decide.

But let me first tell you this: this game of Vagabonds is awesome fun - the making of the characters, and now pitching them in games you have concocted, and reading your entries. It's great fun, thank you! As I'm not providing as much input as I have been doing in Phase I, I'm sending out more SBD to valid entries. It's 1.1 SBD for the QF, and that might go up for the Semi-Finals and Final. And there are bragging rights, of course!

Now then, Then Now! here's the winning entry of QF2:

Monica is unimpressed by lovesick Zilong's premature paintball-thrust (don't even mention his Magic Spear) and predictively strikes him out with a blow to the nether-regions! congrats @edward.maesen! Duchess Monica goes through to the Semi-Finals!

I'm still allowing Zilong getting a phone-call after his humiliating defeat, to hear that the paperwork has gone through and he can swiftly change his identity to Zygmunt. Bearing an eternal grudge against Monica, his destiny is now to seek her in Niflheim for revenge in a possible Vagabonds Season III. That okay with you, @fraenk?

For the competitors to the 3rd Quarter-Final, the dice randomly chose:

Pattimura, the Dandy but Schizofrenic Ladies-Man with A Sword as a Tool of War:

versus

Mutia, the Allmighty but Tiresome Heretic with her Sword of Death:

In a game of violent cuddling!

So it's a Dandy but Schizofrenic guy with a Sword as a Tool of War versus an Allmighty but tiresome lady weilding a Sword of Death in a match of cuddling... How will this match go, who has the better options available? How do you even win a match of cuddling? I don't know, you tell me in the comments, but only one can go through to the Semi-Final. Try to take in account all aspects of the characters - positive and negative traits, and their superpowers. It may be short, it may be extensive, but it should be original.

And it could be your entry advancing either Vagabond to the Semi-Finals. Have fun, the next - and last - Quarter-Final is coming up in roundabout 48 hours. Thanks for playing :)
