Nocan Season 5

Nocan is now a veteran of the arena. Let's see how he does in his fifth season.

Preliminaries

• Prelim 1 - vs. an experienced wizard. The wizard gets in 2 hits. Nocan? Nothing, all misses. He loses 2-0.
• Prelim 2
• Nocan knocks down a novice elf archer in the first pass. That sets the tone for the rest of the bout. Nocan wins 7-0.
• Another 7-0 demolition, this time of a novice dwarf axeman.
• On to the semi-finals! Nocan faces an experienced barbarian
• Nocan hits on the first pass. He leads 1-0
• The barbarian hits. Nocan uses his skill to avoid a head shot (reroll!). Tied 1-1.
• Both knock down their opponent! Still tied, now 4-4.
• Nocan hits in the final pass, but the barbarian knocks him down! Nocan loses 7-5.
• Prelim 3 - Nocan leads a veteran dwarf 4-3 going into the final pass. But the dwarf knocks him down. Nocan loses 6-4.
• Prelim 4 - Nocan fights an experienced goblin and loses 2-1.

Regional

Nocan reached the semis of one tournament, so he gets an invitation to the regional championship.

• He faces an experienced knight.
• The knight barely misses a knock down but still gets a head shot. Another reroll reduces the damage. 1-0 lead for the knight.
• Both miss.
• Nocan knocks down his opponent but the knight scores a hit. 3-3 tie.
• The knight gets in a head shot. Nocan loses 5-3.

Not quite as good a season as the last one, so Nocan is a bit disappointed.

He does not level up. All the fighting is catching up to him; the aches and bruises of the arena keep him up at nights. Can he do this much longer?

I think Nocan needs to win a regional at least to advance to level 4.
