[X] Win
-[X] You can feel the way your new strength flexes in your chest, and you want to exult in it. Weapons, all weapons, are yours and yours alone. You are the Queen of Steel and these Tools of War will Bend to your Will. Her hand is not on her fan, in this singular moment of shock: replace yourself with it, spinning a staff from the ground to your hand in a glittering arc as you slam the haft into her abdomen. As she falls, your dragon of metal will rise again to follow her down with a shimmering wave of steel, shackling her to the ground in a blanket of wire and blades. With your opponent immobilized, flicker in to menace her exposed throat with the staff still in your hand; she willcapitulate to your mastery.
 
I think I'll throw in with this one, it's got a little bit of the ninja tricksyness, but a whole lot of the new-Dawn "Fuck you that's how!" going straight through rather than over, under, or around.

[X] Win
-[X] Sublime vigor fills your limbs. You dash toward the girl, faster than you've ever been, faster than you can believe. You launch a flurry of kunai and shuriken, easily dodging and weaving through the clumsy winds of blade summoned by your panicking ennemy.
As you near her, you anticipate a last, desesperate wall of wind, you see her eyes shift from hope that you will be thrown away by her strike, to shock as you first crouch, your feet and fingers finding purchase on the notched ground, and leap, jumping through the wall just as it reaches you. You pierce through, and throw three kunai as she leaps back to escape. Too late. The first two, linked to you by a wire, entrap her weapon, snapping it shut. When an instant later, the third one strikes the hand holding the fan, you pull, stealing the oversized tool from her hands into yours. She soon follows falling and flailing through the air and towards you, her jump cut short by your action.
Despite your great mastery of most weapons finding their way into your hands, you are not capable of replicating the sand witch's feats when using hers. Fortunately, you don't need to.
The audience discovers just how fine a bludgeon the greatfan makes, as you use it, as well as the overwhelming strength filling you, to punt her back towards the sky and into the arena's roof.

Hmm... @Crilltic, could you list out what Charms we have available to us at the moment? I know you've stated which dots of Charms we have access to, but I don't have the books handy at the moment to actually check what those are. And I'm not sure if this is Exalted 2, 2.5, or 3 either.
Yes, I will do so in a little bit. For reference, it's basically running on the same thing as PoB (so 2.5), but the way the system works makes it way easier to adapt charms for use since all I have to really worry about is their narrative flavor.

Added a barebones thing for now of the charm names, I'll go through later today and do something more involved. Also if you notice anything amiss please don't hesitate to tell me.
Way way to long at most a stunt should be 3 lines. Stunts are flavor not an excuse to dedicate the battle.
To some extent yes, but for the quest format it's a lot different then tabletop, since you're basically writing a stunt for a entire scene rather than just a normal action.

Cascade of Cutting Terror? Observer Deceiving Attack?

...I sense an opportunity here.
 
everything I know about Exalted can be summed up in a single sentence, so I'll be sitting out this vote. excited to see the reboot tho

-[X] This fight is already over. Your enemy simply doesn't yet know it. Following instincts you didn't have even mere seconds before, you draw a single kunai from your pouch and raise it high towards the ceiling... then swing it carelessly down towards Temari in a motion both too obvious and too lazy to seem threatening. So harmless-seeming is your action, in fact, that it's only as you finish your swing and your now-empty hand touches the arena floor that Temari realises something is wrong... and by then, it's too late. Blood splatters and Temari collapses- her body pierced from every angle by not only your original kunai, but hundreds of shining golden replicas, thrown as one in a single hidden instant.

Clearly a decoy to trick us!
Everyone write in the most expensive charms you can think of specifically. Cilltic will have to give them to us for free. :V:V:V

The Solar charm that gives you a 100% chance to seduce mortals.

Yes Temari, come to the lesbian side. Give in to your lust, let it flow freely within you. You know you want dat ass.
 
Um... Tenten is something like 12 or 13 right now. I get that you're joking, but this sort of stuff still leads to mods coming in to nuke threads.
Raises a good point.
E: Tenten and team are like two years older or something than the Rookie 9 aren't they? Not that it changes anything but just to be factually pedantic.

I dunno how old they are, but if we're having a serious discussion about the morality of children making out, then I'm pretty sure the joke is being taken a little bit too seriously.

They're only one year older, IIRC.

There's a history of the mods on SB/SV being very sensitive to this sort of thing, even when it's done jokingly and/or is only at the level of kissing, because of where it tends to lead.

I was uncertain if I was on the right side of the line when I posted it. When not the a staff member who also happens to be QM says bad idea and I was already questioning it... Yeah...
You're probably safe since you seemed to be responding to my prompt of most OP aspects, without considering the potential implications, but I escalated to a level it shouldn't have been on.
Besides the joke is now preserved forever in NSMS's quote and the mods can't blame me for that :V:V:V
Unless the quote gets manually edited.

I like it. I kind of want to go back to the poetic irony of breaking her over her own weapon like she did to us like we had in the last thread, but at the same time I don't because we did that last time.

Absolutely brutalizing her and possibly killing her with thrown weapons like this is very Tenten too though.

Are we sure we want Tenten to kill Temari? Both in and out of character?
