I scream in agony at the wolfs sneaky attack. I try to open my eye but cannot.
Seathing with rage, I leap on top of his prone form, taking hold of the hand that jabbed me.
"I would say an eye-for-an-eye, but in your case I will simply take your whole hand!!"
One by one I break each of his fingers, the snap of each bone clearly heard above the din of the roaring crowd.

The pain at least allows Beowuuf additional natural strength from adrenaline. He screams again as his twisted kick also twisted the sword pinning him further around his shoulder.
At least the kai hunter is thrown violently clear to smash his head and crushed shoulder awkwardly on the ground.
Euphoria from the pain and the angry adrenaline allows Beowuuf to yank himself jerkily upright, and with his weak right hand he pulls the sword free and throws with defiance to spinning across at the fallen hunter.
However, blood flows freely from the wolf's wound, and the gesture saps his strength - spinning sickness forces Beowuuf to fall to his knees.
Beowuuf looks up once with longing towards where his sword and bracelet are scattered, but then his head falls again, as apparently he needs all his strength just to try and scramble upright.

I regain my balance, watching the wolf struggle to stand. I look up into the crowd and see Morgan literally on the edge of her seat. I snear as I catch a look from her eye. Walking over to my opponent, I seize hold of the back of his head and repeatedly smash my fist into his jaw.

Beowuuf is pathetically eager to escape the blows inflicted yet powerless, and only a chance movement of the head allows him to roll away yelping.
eviltb allows the wolf this respite letting the crowds reaction wash over him...only to discover a momentery glimmer that hints at what Beowuuf had done with his time stricken.
Rather than waste energy standing and barely moving, Beowuuf has created a glyph of power on the spot eviltb now stands, one that the hunter has broken with his eager movements.
The explosion rips through eviltb's legs and blows dirt, dust and destructive energy across his body - tearing one leg to tatters explosing bone in a shower of blood and flesh.
While eviltb is spun sideways across the arena in a blood trail, Beowuuf almost comically staggers and stumbles towards the bracelet he abandoned earlier.
He paws weakly at the red stone at first, eventually gripping it tightly and speaking the power word, his hand feeling like it’s fire while his mouth caresses the wolven for 'perfect body'.
Beowuuf laughs as he stands tall, superhuman powers of regeneration coursing through his form and repairing all hurts andd restoring all energy that was lost.
An added bonus sees Beowuuf bound across to the flacid form of eviltb, and after yanking the hunter up one handed Beowuuf proceeds to deliver a chest crushing blow with the other hand that sends the man sailing close to Morgan in the spectator stands.

I lay looking up at the arena ceiling, my ears ringing from the explosion. I turn onto my belly and crawl towards the edge of the ring. Clambering up the side with my hands, I steady myself and start to smash through the wooden fencing. As expected, I find the wooden spikes set into the wall. I pull one free and strap it to my leg as a make-shift splint.

Heh, it's ok, I wouldn't be that much of a ba.... ok, wait, I would be. Not allowed to be though, I think actual removal of limbs was out.
Rending nastily yes.
Ripping off, no
Funny image though, maybe Zipp will let you keep it, or let you add da machine gun!

Hang on, let me read your post again. Was that exposing bone or exploding bone? If its exposing, then I'll change my post. If its exploding, then the wooden leg stays! I would have gone with a large repeating crossbow instead of a machine gun. Keep it in context y'know

Beowuuf is glad the superhumanly perfect body effect, when it goes, does not return his wounds.
However, vital magical energies have still been lost and Beowuuf head still spins and muscles stil ache.
He takes his time to recover both his sword dropped in combat and dagger dropped beside the bracelet.
Adopting a cross-legged position with his sword balanced on his knees, Beowuuf closes his eyes and tried to restore his mental balance.
Even in this peaceful state, Beowuuf hears the crashing of eviltb's return over the crowd's roar even as he smells the stench of the fried flesh wafting on the dancing wind.

Exposing bone, though I guess my history with typos isn't good!
Man, exloding bone - I WISH I'D THOUGHT OF THAT!

Wow, 10 already? Ah well, it's been fun - best of luck to you sir! My understanding is the power style is going to be a fickle mistress to us At least you have the crowd aswell!
Edit: Assuming you aren't being tricksy with the trickster style and highlighting the wrong words...never did get back to checking that suspicion...

The wolf seems to have settled down into a meditative state, trying to recover his magical energies.
I rip the blue stone off the bracelet and crush it in my hand, feeling it’s energies flow through me.
My mind suddenly aware of every being in the arena, I hobble towards the wolf, seizing him by the head with both hands.
His eyes open in suprise and I stare directly back at him.
I open my mouth to scream, but no sound issues forth - instead the sound comes from my mind into his.
I break through his psychic shield and attack the very core of his mind.
I show him intense images of torture and pain, of those kept in the dungeons of Kaag, those balancing on the edge of life and death.
I focus on one man in particular - drapped in a tatty blue robe, beaten almost to death - and repeat his name over and over.

Ooh, good ending, nice use of the Beowuuf backstory! Funnily as an oddly co-incidedntal book end, this was my idea from waaaaaay back in round 1 if I ever fought you The red gem use was actually going to be for ODN!Beowuuf falls down crying, and eviltb has every opportunity to take the wolf's own weapon and decapitate his foe but relents enjoyign the spectacle too much. * * * * Beowuuf moves his hand to the bracelet, and makes to rip it off but instead rips the blue stone off the bracelet and crushes the stone in his hand, feeling it’s energies flow into him. He uses the surge of power to invoke a combination of his 'hold person' spell with some defensive mind abilities he leared under Lord Gralmis. The result is a mental trap, looping eviltb in his own mind so he does not realise he has been paralysed, a waking dream he hopefully cannot escape. Beowuuf looks across briefly at Lady Morgan, wondering if the mysterious woman knows what is happening in eviltb's head, and more importantly in Beowuuf's. For Beowuuf cannot let this disciple of evil inflict himself here nor in the real world outside this arena afterwards, not when he has a chance to end the man's evil right now. Knights of Sommerlund and Knights of the White Mountain are bound by different codes of honour than the Vakeros, but Beowuuf hopes the distinction is not realised until it is too late by the host of this match. Not caring that the crowd, denied spectacle, boo at the lack of action and with great difficulty in ignoring the feedback form the spell that allow Beowuuf to see and feel every injury and pain eviltb imagines, Beowuuf casualy steps aroudn the Nad Adez Konkor and buries a bluvein dagger from behind between the hunter's ribs. Heh, given the feedback reference, your last attack could still work perfectly well if you win!

Hmmm, given your ending you might win then. Two gems in one round might pull it for you.

Heh, at the end of the day its still power words I guess and the gems are just for fun! I think descriptive words in general might have some positive points value, while lots of ands, commas etc (like I use) might have minor negative points attached.
I'm guessing my trickster munckining of the phrases won me through last round against my run on sentences, I think this round it might be down to luck with the power words, or edged to you for the clipped to the point sentences.
It's exciting anyway!
