So this is unfortunate. Another brutal fight, but this time, it’s in the #1 contendership tournament. What sucks here, though, is if this went 1 more round, Penne might have been able to finish Kobold, as Kobold was EXHAUSTED. Before that, though, Kobold definitely did cause more damage, so...yeah. 5 round fights. Finish them within 5 rounds people. FINISH HER!

So this is unfortunate. Another brutal fight, but this time, it’s in the #1 contendership tournament. What sucks here, though, is if this went 1 more round, Penne might have been able to finish Kobold, as Kobold was EXHAUSTED. Before that, though, Kobold definitely did cause more damage, so...yeah. 5 round fights. Finish them within 5 rounds people. FINISH HER!
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
