Two Bosses Enter … but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW.com’s series of fantasy death matches. Welcome to what’s nearly the end of the current round of the five-man Wrath of the Lich King season. Grab a seat, and let’s get ready to rumble!

I’m hiding my eyes behind my hands for this one: Anub’Arak (Azjol-Nerub) versus Tribunal of Ages (Halls of Stone). Storyweavers, get ready to spin your webs … This is the type of match where a good blow-by-blow account in the comments can go a long way toward swaying the vote.

But first, the pound ground rules:

• This match takes place inside the Tribunal of Ages in the Halls of Stone … or perhaps the Tribunal has been transplanted to the Two Bosses Thunderdome … or perhaps they’re someplace else … Any way you slice it, the Tribunal’s basic encounter mechanic functions as usual. Work with it, people! It’s a fantasy tournie.
• No matter where you choose to set the match and who you may choose to stand in for Brann Bronzebeard, his survival ultimately determines the success or failure of the mission. Anub’Arak is therefore challenged with holding the Tribunal at bay long enough for Bronzebeard to complete his task. Technically, a “win” for Anub’Arak means that neither opponent dies.
• All of the competitors’ abilities, including crowd control and other effects to which bosses are usually immune, work on their opponents.
• Assume that the opponents share similar levels, health pools and comparative overall damage output.
• Don’t get caught up in gameplay mechanics and what actual players might do in each encounter.
• Don’t neglect style, story and scale.

Welcome to the Two Bosses Thunderdome. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls … Dyin’ time’s here.
