Round One:
Having heard of the duel between Elminster and Gandalf, the Tick is called in by friends of Elminster in hopes of bringing the deadly wizard to justice. Gandalf of course thinks he did nothing wrong; all was fair in the duel and in his mind Elminster would have killed him just as quickly. Neither the Tick nor the archmage want a fight, but neither are willing to back down. The Tick enters in a dashing manner, giving Gandalf the option of surrender. Gandalf takes this time to make for a hiding spot. By throwing his voice into the echoing hills, Gandalf distracts the Tick long enough to get a shot at his backside. With a cry of valor, Gandalf leaps upon the Tick, slashing like mad with his sword. but even the might of the magical artifact cannot penetrate the Tick. With a whirl and a backhand, the Tick smashes Gandalf to the ground. Round One goes to the Tick.

Round Two:
The Tick goes for the finishing blow on Gandalf, but his hand passes right through him. By the time the Tick realizes that Gandalf has just pulled an uncharacteristic D&D-style defense, it's too late. Gandalf bombards the Tick with fire and brimstone, and thinks the round won. But the Tick just turns around and rubs his eyes.

"My my...such summer heat!"

Gandalf lets his jaw drop for a moment as he realizes that everything he's just thrown at the Tick has had no effect. The Tick is almost upon Gandalf when the wizard stops the superhero with a blinding flash that allows Gandalf to withdraw and develop a strategy. Round Two is a draw.

Round Three:
As the Tick regains his vision, he focuses in once again on Gandalf, charging him in hopes of ending the match. But at the last minute, Gandalf dodges to the side, crashing the Tick into the dirt. The Tick recovers and charges again, only to hit the ground again. This goes on for some time until the Tick starts to get a slight headache.

"Tick...wait." The wizard stops the fight for a moment with the diversion. "I've learned my lesson. Here's Elminster's head."
