*example combat* Eaters of the Dead

[Anubis]

The room was deep within the Citadel, in the dark and twisted passages that had been granted to the Anubi, as his followers were being called. His kind had no proper name- They were simply the eaters of the dead, jackal-headed creatures who had fallen under his banner, as they ate well, performing a vital service to prevent the city from succumbing to disease.
Yet not all were so satisfied, Anubis thought with a snort, as this audience showed.
"...and since we have fallen in with these humans, at your command we have lost hundreds of our warriors to battles of which we have no interest!"
Anubis stood, speaking coolly. "and who are you to decide where our interest lies? Was I not chosen to lead our people?"
The other Anubi warrior smiled, a grin full of teeth, hardly the comforting gesture it would have been among humans. As his hand tightened upon his weapon, he snarled back. "A decision easilly reversed."

Anubis stood, his spear in hand, his expression now grim. Though he had known there were grumblings of discontent, this was the first time he had been confronted directly. It did not bode well for his continued control of them. Gazing across the assemblage, he could see many expressions of agreement, although he was comforted by the remaining looks of outrage. "So, then, do you challange my position? Do you wish to take my place here?" he asked, walking to the edge of the dais, high-ground over his foe.

The Anubi renagade growled, flicking his weapon to the ready. The tension in the room grew as he tossed aside his cloak, that it would no longer hinder his movement. "I do. I am called Tallesh, and I challange your leadership. You put our lives at stake for mere compassion," he turned it into a swear word, "for the humans. I declare you unfit to lead us, and so I challange you as is our ancient tradition.

The words washed over the assemblage, and the tension rose, a wordless growl rising from hundreds of throats. Anubis spoke over the din. "I accept your challange. Let us face one another in the ancient trial of combat." His greatspear took up a ready position, pointing down toward Tallesh, and his own draping robe slid to his feet, to be kicked back to the throne.

Tallesh growled in rage, making no attempt to control himself, and with a sudden surge of whipcord muscle, he lept up to the dias. "I will kill you, and lead our people away from this place! DIE!" The swing was reckless, arcing in low and slashing upward.

The great spear seemed to move of it's own accord, deflecting the sword's strike, though not before the blade could taste Anubis's own flesh. Calmly, Anubis locked blades with his maddened foe. "And when the last human lies dying of pestilance and war, what then?" he asked, ignoring for the moment the blood leaking from the gash on his side.

Tallesh's jaws snapped inches from Anubis's throat, spittle flying. "Then we will feast!" he raged, pushing Anubis back toward the edge. His fetid breath was overpowering, and the madness in his eyes hypnotic.

Twisting aside, Anubis allowed Tallesh's momentum to carry the battle-crazed warrior to the very brink of the dias the rebel had attempted to drive him toward. "And once you have slain the last human, eaten the last body... What then? Will you begin to eat your followers?" As Tallash began to turn back around, Anubis jabbed him with the but of his spear, pushing him over the edge.

Pinwheeling through the air, Tallesh howled, falling to land on his face. Momentarally stunned, he reeled on the ground, unable to respond to Anubis' taunts. The crowd hissed, as he began to raise himself back up on his hands.

Anubis hopped down off the dias, landing beside his fallen foe. His spearblade reached past Tallesh's shoulder, the edge brushing against the side of his neck. Then it reversed, smashing the bone saber out of the rebel's grasp, sliding it into the crowd. "Do you yet concede defeat?"

Tallesh glared up at Anubis, and spit at the ground by his feet. "Your mercy knows no bounds. If you were not a student of the dark arts, I would slay you now, blade or no blade. But there are those among us who no longer will call you leader, and I count myself among their number." Tallesh slowly stood, and deliberately turned his back on Anubis. "Let us leave this human-lover to his designs. All who wish to see us restored to our rightful place, join me."
He staggered to the door, and half the waiting jackle-headed audience followed.

Anubis leaned back against the dais, glaring at Tallesh's backside. The fool did not understand how self destructive his course was. What his followers took as weakness- as mercy- was nothing but cold calculation, deep-lain plans of enlightened self-interest.
Perhaps it was time for another expedition. More territory recovered, more meat located and put to work- yes. He would schedual an appointment with the Lord of the Citadale.
