BG (Sherlock Holmes) v. Basel (Prof. Moriarty)

 

Holmes

 

Watson describes Holmes as "bohemian" in habits and lifestyle. According to Watson, Holmes is an eccentric, with no regard for contemporary standards of tidiness or good order. Holmes has an ego that at times borders on arrogant, albeit with justification; he draws pleasure from baffling police inspectors with his superior deductions. He does not seek fame, however, and is usually content to allow the police to take public credit for his work. It is often only when Watson publishes his stories that Holmes's role in the case becomes apparent. Because of newspaper articles and Watson's stories, however, Holmes is well known as a detective, and many clients ask for his help instead of or alongside the police. Holmes is pleased when he is recognised for having superior skills and responds to flattery, as Watson remarks, as a girl does to comments upon her beauty.

 

Holmes's demeanour is presented as dispassionate and cold. Yet when in the midst of an adventure, Holmes can sparkle with remarkable passion. He has a flair for showmanship and will prepare elaborate traps to capture and expose a culprit, often to impress Watson or one of the Scotland Yard inspectors. Holmes is a loner and does not strive to make friends, although he values those that he has, and none higher than Watson. He attributes his solitary ways to his particular interests and his mopey disposition.

 

Moriarty

 

Moriarty is a confident man, assuring Holmes that if he meddles in his plans, he risks inevitable destruction. He has full respect for Holmes's intellect and says that it has been an intellectual treat to grapple with him but is also completely willing to kill Holmes should he oppose him any further, showing a ruthless side. He has a fiery temper, furiously elbowing aside people in the train station when Holmes escapes him. Moriarty also has a vengeful streak, pursuing Holmes to Switzerland to kill him for destabilising his organization. Despite the vast crime ring over which he presides, Moriarty is fiercely independent. When his men fail to kill Holmes, he pursues him personally and without aid of an assistant whereas Holmes takes Watson with him wherever he goes. The only individual who appears to have Moriarty's complete confidence is his henchman Colonel Moran. He is also implied to be quite charismatic as even Scotland Yard inspectors whom Holmes respects such as MacDonald express admiration for him.

Loved Downey as Holmes.

 

Moriarty watched his adversary in a cold, dark, rainy alleyway. This new power which flowed through him presented interesting possibilities. But he could tell that Holmes had stronger power in his own primary areas. Very well, then, he would have to use other magicks. He formed a shape of air to his liking and gave it solidity, then threw it hard against the side of the building to Holmes's left, fifteen feet up. The brick wall shattered in that place, and many bricks came tumbling down upon Moriarty's quarry.

 

Attack: Air

Damage: 8

 

Basel: 100

BG: 92

Holmes understood how Moriarty played the game, he knew his strengths and weaknesses, he knew that he'd come prepared with Fire and Earth. After they had both obtained these new found powers it was a matter of analyzing them and perfecting the use of them. Since he know Moriarty's strengths, Holmes had come in prepared to meet them, overpowering them.... but he also knew that Moriarty would expect this, so he was not surprised when he saw the weave of air head his direction. Holmes already had the defense for it in place, when Moriaty threw it... but it veered of course. Moriarty wouldn't miss? Then he was caught off gaurd by the wall that fell on him. Holmes crawled from the wreckage with a cut on his face and glared at Moriarty... did he really understand this man? Or did Moriarty understand Holmes better than he understood himself?

 

Moriarty undoubtedly would expect some clever maneauver from Holmes, therefore Holmes threw all his power into a straight forward attack aimed directly at Moriarty's head...

 

Attack: EarthFire

Damage: 2

 

Basel: 98

BG: 92

I'm sorry, but this matchup of Holmes and Moriarty is great.

Moriarty decides to try something a bit more complicated. He finds the air he used before, and a dose of potent spirit, hoping to make a windstorm to knock his archenemy off his feet and back into the pile of rubble. Instead, nothing happens.

 

Attack: Twister

Damage: 0

 

Basel: 98

BG: 92

As Holmes sees the weaves from Moriarty disappate in front of him he simultaneously responds as quickly as possible as to catch him of guard during moment of surprise at his failed weave.

 

Attack: Fire

Damage: 4

 

Basel: 94

BG: 92

Moriarty feels his hair singed slightly, and wonders if Holmes is trying to lull him into a false sense of security. This time, he grabs Spirit and sends a weave of threads directly at Holmes's forehead to affect Holmes's clarity of thought. He takes advantage of his rival's momentary confusion to dart out of the alleyway and into the city streets.

 

Attack: Spirit

Damage: 10

 

Basel: 94

BG: 82

Fun Fact: Despite his popular reputation as Sherlock Holmes's archenemy, Moriarty actually only appears twice in the works of Arthur Conan Doyle. (He is mentioned in five other stories Doyle wrote, but still...) Much of the character's reputation, and the influence (or grandinfluence, or even great-grandinfluence) on just about every plotting, scheming villain to come after, comes out of various Holmes adaptations in other media.

Holmes felt off his game, something about Moriarty was clouding his mind. As he tried to fight back everything seemed to fail and Moriarty seemed to hit hard. Holmes hit at Moriarty hard... but his strongest weaves, fire, unraveled sending his entire attack into a useless nothing....

 

Attack: EarthFire

Damage: 0

 

Basel: 94

BG: 82

Two more rounds to go ...

Grr...

Moriarty ducked around a corner, feeling the sputtered failings of a weave come after him but get nowhere. He took a few minutes to catch his breath and ponder what flavour of weave to use next. Perhaps if he tried to change the scenario somewhat, he would have a greater chance of success. "Arch," he said into thin air. Nothing happened. "Mr. Computer, arch, please." Blast, this was no machine-generated simulacrum, this must be reality around him. If he wanted the surroundings changed, he would have to change them on his own. He looked carefully back around the corner to see what Holmes was up to, and summoned the elements to make a fearsome tempest of the weather.

 

Attack: Ice Storm

Damage: 8

 

Basel: 94

BG: 74

Holmes wrapped around his cloak around himself as the ice beat upon his face, he needed it to end. There was little time left, and so he summonded fire and earth despite the failure of last time. Melting the ice, fire finally roared from his hands successfully as it should have.

 

Attack: EarthFire

Damage: 10

 

Basel: 84

BG: 74

The ice storm didn't stay powerful for very long as Homes somehow found a way to not only melt the ice, but attack Moriarty with a powerful blast of flame. "The game, as you might say, Holmes, is definitely afoot. It is long past time to end this game." He tried something that had worked for him before, and found another wave of air. This time, it didn't do much, but it did rock Holmes with a strong breeze. Moriarty wondered if he had left himself too vulnerable by not achieving a killing blow.

 

Attack: Air

Damage: 3

 

Basel: 84

BG: 71

Holmes felt the strength of his last blast and new time was short, so he attempted it again.... but despite dealing more damage to Moriarty, it wasn't enough to win this battle.

 

Attack: EarthFire

Damage: 6

 

Basel: 78

BG: 71

Congratulations Basel, you are through to Round 2

 

Well played BG :)

That was a good fight to watch, congrats Basel!

Just wait till I toss the One Ring over Reichenbach Falls.

XD

 

Raistlin refuses to let that happen. That ring will be a great tool on his path to complete magical world domination!

Congrats, Basel.
