TALTOS …..*walks to the pit My broadsword in right hand..two quivas in my waist band*
Sulst….. walks to the pit bare chested, with dashi katana, wakisazhi on My hip and a heavy bitted axe over Me left shoulder
---------------------------------------
1) TALTOS ….*runs low toward You..taking a quiva from My waist and fipping it in a quick underhand to Ye mids..coming low to high across ye thighs ..rolling right and back in defence*
1) Sulst…… sides steps the blade slightly late takes a thin line across one thigh as I move out and round ...
~~missed the qiva attack
2)TALTOS ……..*turns into Ye opposing direction..feining a drop of blade to Ye left side high to low. .kicking Ye in the nards and sliding left at the ready*
~~ You did not rise from Your roll
2)Sulst…….. seeing His foot rising and turning blade blunt down to deflect the blow off and deaden its impact to a soft touch, bringing both baldes in hard an fast gold and steel flashing in the moon light as they dive in quickly towards your right flank the short blade knocking hard against yours as the other seeks your ribs and inner arm like a sleen on the scent of blood
3) TALTOS …….*turning left as the flat of the blade knocks My foot ..My blade parrying the rib blow and catching the inside of My arm lightly an ooze of blood seeping down..pulling My second quiva and pulling it across Ye ribs..backing away at the ready*
~~You did not deal with His weapon before You attacked
3) Sulst……… turns away from what was to be a serious wound from the quiva as it bites slightly along My rib cage ... turns full circle to bring Myself back to face you both blades again flashing in a intricate pattern the routine hammering your blade wide before both cut down from collar bone to belt ... and leaping back slightly as blades take a slightly different arch in defense of My sides ...
4) TALTOS ……*flicking the Quiva to ye mids as You circle...dropping low and sweeping Ye legs as Ye swords drop across My chest.. thin lines splitting the skin lightly.. rolling back.. sword in front of Me at the ready*
~~just a note….I did not deduct a point here for not dealing with weapons as I feel the drop for the leg sweep is sufficient at this time this will probably change though as things tighten up in the later rounds
4) Sulst….. dodges the quivas path as you kick Me feet from under me going with the motion and rolling back ...charges in again as I come to My feet ... gold and steel flashing like lightning as the last offensive routine begins in full ,one full round kick raises high across your jaw using the momentum of it to bring My katana around full circle its fine blue steel blade cuts a path across your arms and chest and I move back one step standing ready chest heaving and blood slowly lightly flows down My ribs and side both blades flick into their sheaths ....... WEll Fought Brother winces slightly
~~a very clean fight…..Well done
Sulst (looses 1point0) missed and attack….this was a mis post but when asked if you wished to repost it You elected to continue instead
Taltos (looses 2 points) remember to deal with Your opponents weapons and whether You were standing, kneeling or lying down at end of Your last post
Sulst wins 9-8
CASCA…..: Gets up shaking himself awake and moves to the pit..ooopss...goes back and picks up the weapons off the table then moves back toward the pit...Stepping into the sand with a four bladed three foot mace in my right and a double bladed throwing axe in my left....a small buckler strapped to my left forearm
ARES…..stepping into the pit, Turian shield strapped to My left arm, broadsword in My right hand, wearing leather gauntlets both with daggers, a couple of quivas in My boots but they wont be used This satisfactory?
------------------------------------------------
1)CASCA……. Rushing forward taking the mace and slamming out the shield while the axe in my left hand parries out your sword...then driving my foot to your stomach allowing the kick to carry me back and stand waiting
1)ARES…….. tensing My stomach and taking the swift kick, striding forward, using My sheild to engage Your mace, slicing down diagonally aimed for Your chest, designed to be a light cut ..
He has two weapons and You did Not engage His axe before You attacked…
2)CASCA……… Using the axe in my left hand to parry your sword slightly away from my chest then sliding the mace off the shield toward your head while stomping on your foot with my boot...leaning in close to you
2)ARES……. is able to lift My sheild up as Your mace slides up, swearing as You stomp on My boot, kicking out to aimed for Your shin, head butting You hard with My head as You step in close, growling
3)CASCA…… : As my head jerks back from the butt...I then bring a knee up under the raised shield into your side...thereby missing the kick to the shin...keeping the axe locked with your sword to keep it out from me as I slide the mace down off your shield toward your shoulder
…..A shield is at least 20 inches across and if it is covering the head one would assume the shoulder is covered as well
3)ARES……….. feeling Your mace bite into My shoulder, growling, releasing My sword, My right hand swiftly going to My left gauntlet, pulling out a dagger and swiping it across, aimed for Your chest .. (note:dagger is about 8 inches)
4)CASCA…….. Leaning back from the dagger...feeling the edged point slice across my chest then taking the axe freed from your sword and bringing it up into your hip as I lean back in....rolling the mace off your shoulder into your head..staying close
~~He never lowered the shield so this Move is not possible…
4)ARES……. dagger meeting Your axe, blunting the blow, swiftly ducking, then charging in for a tackle to end the spar .. grins a) take the tackle - both of Us fall to the ground in a heap of weapons, getting up and offering a hand to You .. b) not take the tackle: just rebounding from You, grins ..
~~ charging??? You are standing nose to nose…
----------------------------
I went over this Match a dozen Times and can't find any more Mistakes to deduct points with….so this Match is a draw and both contestants advance….
CASCA (looses 2 points)….. both dealing with His opponents shield
ARES (looses 2 Points)….a charge from point blank range and failing to deal with a opponents weapon as He closed
TIE…8-8
Mahlajach Spirit Rider… ..rises from the furs....tucking His nard scratcher into His belt.....moving to the pit...dual katana's sheathed atop His back...dagger tucked into His boot....the warm sand nestling round His boots as He draws both blades from their sheaths
Chih-Chiang Fyu-Ya….: faces you across the pit You just keep that nard scratcher to yourself! grinning, and sliding the chain from around his waist, drawing his shortsword... reaching down to check the quiva tucked in his boot
------------------------------------------------------------
1)Mahlajach Spirit Rider………: charging forward...thrusting right blade towards Your belly while left blade parries Your short sword high...pulling right blade from the chain parry while dropping to one knee and sweeping Your feet...rolling backwards to one knee...dual blade tips pointing forward
1) Chih-Chiang Fyu-Ya……..: falling for the thrust feint, my chain coming down to block, feeling my shortsword knocked high, and my feet sliding from beanth me... hitting on the backs of my shoulders, and bouncing to my feet quickly, kipping up... circling to your left, and getting closer, making you turn on your knee, quickly jumping in, and knocking your right sword out with my chain, parrying the left sword down with my own, and bringing my knee up into your face, drawing back quickly, and watching you, my chain swinging idly, waiting for your next move
~~not allowed to direct another's movement
2) Mahlajach Spirit Rider…….turning on His knee as He watches You circle...grip tightening on the hilts of His blades as You leap forward...feeling His right blade parried by the chain..the left parried down by Your sword...then tumbling backwards from the knee to the face...rolling to His feet..moving forward while shaking His head...right blade quickly thrusting into the path of the chain as His left blade parries Your short sword outwards...pushing the chain outward with His right blade as He leans closer...left swatting again to keep Your short sword outwards as He headbutts You...releasing the right katana and stepping back three paces...lone blade whirling defensively
2) Chih-Chiang Fyu-Ya………growling low, feeling my swords parried aside, and steeling myself for the blow, pulling my head back as you headbutt, barely averting a broken nose... feeling your katana tangled in my chain, and releasing it, reaching down to grab the quiva from my boot and give it a hard throw at you, rushing forward and making a quick thrust towards your stomach with my shortsword
2) Mahlajach Spirit Rider………: watching the quiva fly quickly...stepping left and swatting steel at it..then parrying Your belly thrust aside to Your right as He spins 360 along Your left side..dropping to one knee and slicing His blade across the back of Your legs...rolling behind You and picking up His katana from the sands...spinning on knee to face You with dual blades whirling at the ready
~~too many actions 1)parry quiva, 2)parry sword, 3)spin, 4)attack, 5)roll, 6)spin I allow you to combine some action such as the roll and picking up the Katana but adding a spin and setting Your self defencively is too much..
3) Chih-Chiang Fyu-Ya……….feels himself thrown off balance, and hisses from the slice across the backs of his thighs, blood trickling down the back of his thighs, turning quickly, and seeing both of your swords awaiting... moving quickly closer, and rolling forward and to your right, sliding my sword up between yours, and batting the one in your right hand away, quickly slashing along your belly, and dancing back before your other sword can strike, limping a bit from my wounds
~~too many moves 1)turning, 2)advancing, 3)rolling, 4)parry, 5)attack, 6)retreat …..next time combime a move such as the turn and advance
~~ no directing anothers Movement…
4) Mahlajach Spirit Rider……: watching Your charge...blades rising to parry Your blade...feeling His right blade parring out..then wincing as steel bites His belly...slicing His left blade round as Your move back..narrowly missing You...rising and moving towards You and shoulder rolling to one knee before You...right blade rising to blocking position as left slices across Your belly...right blade parrying Your blade as He rises and moves back three paces...dual blades whirling a figure eight
4) Chih-Chiang Fyu-Ya….: feels his blade parried out, and yours slice across his stomach, blood dripping once more from an extra hole in his body, resting the tip of his shortsword in the sands, and nodding to you, wiping sweat from his brow Good spar, Bro...
A well fought Spar…. A few Minor mistakes but nothing that can't be fixed for the next round……
MSR (loses1point) for too many actions in one post

~~too many actions.1)parry, 2)kick, 3)sword attack, 4)spin, 5)attack, 6)retreat…and a note for firther spars
the use of the word Thru works for the kick to the axe but not for the arm or the shield unless You meant to cut them in half which would be a No No as that is a Major wound

Damora:….Makes His way into the pit ... a wood sheild banded with steel on His left arm, the small spiked battle ax in His right hand and the TWINS sheathed over His back .. grinning as He settles in a bit ...

1) Ryll……circling slowly to Your right...then quickly stepping in bringing the long blade down in a short arc before whipping it quickly up and striking the side of Your head with the flat of the blade..whirling and bringing the pommel down hard on Your arm as You raise Your shield..continuing the turn to stand en guarde with the long blade held angled before Me, legs bent and body relaxed...eyes following Your every move...
~~not allowed to direct anothers Movement in this way…Damora has not said He was moving His shield
1) Damora…. Circling with You as You approach...arcing the axe out hard to parry Your blade before it connects, feeling the hilt strike My arm and hissing slightly, bringing the sheild across from My left and striking Your shoulder, then spinning with the same movement behind You, the flat of My ax connecting hard at the back of Your head as I step back three paces, grinning brightly at the ready again
~~too many Movements 1) Circling, 2) parry, 3)attack with Shield, 4) spin, 5) axe attack 6) stepping back
2) Ryll….. sliding the length of My blade along the short head of the axe as You parry...catching it hard on the quillions and ~~jerking it deftly from Your grasp...grunting and feeling the crunch of Your shield as it crashes into My shoulder...

~~directing anothers Movement….
3) Ryll…. : rolling backward with the push, curling into a ball and rolling quickly to the side and back to My feet...circling slowly once again.... long blade raised diagonally across My body, as I suddenly step in, swinging in a short arc before deftly dropping the blade below Your shield to slice along Your sword arm, My elbow coming around to catch You in the face, then crouching in guarde once again
~~sorry I can't see how this Move works Unless You first spin to Turn Your Body
3) Damora….. Watching You closely and grinning...quickly lowering the sheild and forcefully pinning Your sword to the ground, My SWORD then leaps up and nicks Your cheek before You can spin and elbow Me... as I release Your blade I shoulder roll by You and shuffle to My feet and turn to You and throw the shield at Your midsection in a flat spin ... grinning as I draw the other TWIN and stand ready ...
4) Ryll….. feeling My blade dig into the sand, I turn quickly to bring it up and around, not quickly enough as your blade nicks My cheek sending a rivulet of blood down My chin...reaching to My belt and whipping out the quiva as You roll to Your feet... ...sending the well balanced quiva quick as lightening to strike hilt first into Your forehead...the thrown shield thudding into My stomach, stealing a gasp of air and whirling to guarde position...
4) Damora…. Watching as You draw the quiva and send it, leaning to My right trying to avoid it but not quite enough as the hilt grazes the side of My head and ear ... spying My ax close to My foot and kicking it up and at You quickly ... then charging You right after it, tucking My blades a bit and shoulder crashing into You ... grinning, sheathing the TWINS and offering a hand up ... GREAT SPAR!

Spirit Wolf ……: *adjusts* the shield buckled to my left arm,,,loosens the short sword in its sheath with my right hand, and pats the quiva tucked in my belt
-----------------------------------
1)Spirit Wolf….*moves* quickly forward,,,,slashin with sword from yer left to right across yer chest,,,,followin with a punch thrown overhand to yer jaw, quiva enclosed in fist for extra weight, and stepping back, sword held high quiva low left side facin ya at defensive stance,,,knees flexed and weight on the balls of my feet
~~ I am confused Here.... You Have a shield and a quiva in/on Your left hand/arm?? If You are Using a shield Your Hand is covered behind the shield....if You are using a small buckler then You should Have stated such...
~~ just a note....no points deducted for not engaing Your opponets weapon as It appears from Azazels 2nd Post that He had not drawn His sword....lucky for You *grin*
1)Azazel……...watching you move to me and growling as your blade bites across my chest....ducking down to dodge your fist, bringing my leg out to sweep your feet from you... throwing my right fist to your side then rolling back... letting my quiva sing into the air as it aims for your chest
2)Spirit Wolf…..*grunting* as I hit the ground from yer leg sweep,,,using the fall to snap out a side-kick to yer right knee,,,,rolling away from yer quiva as yer fist strikes,,,then rising and sweeping at yer body with my shield,,allowin me to back off and gain space to stand ready
2)Azazel…….....trying to stand and stumbling as you kick my knee then stumbling back as I feel your shield push me... moving quickly to you and moving around to your side to avoid your shield... throwing my right fist to your head and then performing a roundhouse kick aimed at your back.. jumping back 5 paces and unsheathing the dark assassin's blade at my waist and putting it diagonal across my chest in defense.
3)Spirit Wolf….*slippin* the punch as to reduce its force, yet seein some stars from its impact,,,*snapping* my sword up to block yer kick ~ouch~ and turnin to face ya as ya move off,,,*flippin* the quiva in my hand as to hold the throwing blade by its edge
just a note.... I am now treating Your sheild as a small buckler due to Your actions
3)Azazel…....moving quickly to you and kicking my left foot at your hand to try to knock the quiva away... using the weight from my foot as it comes down to send my weight with the slash of my blade as it comes down from high aimed at your chest... then throwing my left fist to your stomach, trying to knock the air out of you..
4)Spirit Wolf….. *dropping* the quiva as yer foot slams into my left hand,,,grabin yer ankle as it hits me and pushing hard at ya using my weight and driving with my legs,,,attempting to drive ya back and down to the ground,,my sword flashing up and held to yer throat
~~ although You grabbed His Legg it does not stop His sword attack
~~ nor the punch
4) Azazel....falling back with you, as my back hits the ground and I see your blade coming to my throat I kick up with my feet to try to send you up and over me into the sand... jumping up and throwing my other quiva to your stomach... then moving quickly to you and placing my blade to your throat.... Good spar Bro. *WS*
~~ a nice move but with out dealing with his sword first either got Your leg cut or possibly Your throat...
~~ you need to do some thing with His sword first as You close
A great Spar with lots of action...... a lot of Mistakes Though
Spirit Wolf (looses 3 points) a confusing description or lack of and not reacting to an attack
Azazel (looses 2 points ) not dealing with His opponents weapons
Azazel wins 8-7
Spar7-round one
Takan VS Stalin…..round1
Takan : ~Enters the pit carrying his staff, a short sword at his waist and a quiva down his back behind his neck~
Stalin : I have but one staff and one short sword on My left hip...simple...
Takan: Leaping forward, staff raised high, horizontally in both hands as if to slash . . . then crouching and driving one end forward to strike at your solar plexus, before breaking off backward beyond staff range to assume a defensive position . . . left leg forward, staff casually but firmly held angled on my right side
Stalin: ...groaning out as the kick lands hard to My solar plexus..stumbling backwards a bit..My eyes watching You...I charge...My legs pumping in wide strides..My staff out in defence..My left leg raises and presses upon your left leg just above the knee..pressing upwards..My right foot spins around to connect with Your jaw..landing I roll away to one knee..staff ready... Kick?? What Kick?
Takan: Leaning backward and to the side to save my jaw, I spin and twirl my staff down to crack across a retreating shoulder before stepping back again ready to defend
Stalin: ...groaning out as the solid thwack to My shoulder blade..rising to My feet..I roll My shoulders..then I advance quickly..ducking low I spin off to the side..that grin forms as My hands grasp the end of My staff...I swing hard to the back of Your knees..spining again I hold the staff ready..
Takan: Jabbing my staff in the sand to partially block the blow to my knees, I use it to spin,vaulting toward you, snap kicking your hand, before beating an undignified, but rapid retreat to a safe distance in the too damn small pit....~LOL~ very difficult maneuver as He was beside You and aiming behind You, to the Back of Your Knees. Next time Turn first or Place staff Wide
Stalin: ...My eyes watching You block My staff this time… wincing from the kick to My hand… shaking My hand til I regain feeling...My eyes narrow...My staff spins as I charge… I press My staff hard to Yours...Our bodies pressing tightly as I struggle to push You back...My head snaps forward hard into Your nose...I use the pressure of Our pushing for My to spin of to My right… staff head across My body..
Takan: Shakes his head, the blood from his nose splattering the watchers, then grinning I shuffle to you, feint a high blow before revering the staff to whack you hard on the knee before stepping back in readiness
Stalin : ...watching My bloody opponent draw near…The staff flying to My knee...My other foot pivots backwards…My staff meets Yours...turning to face You…sweat soaking My body…I drop My staff.…My hand draws My short sword...without warning I charge...My feet flying across the sand...but two feet before You…I hurl My body forward into a flip...as soon as I feet My feet touch..I use all the strength left that I have and I push backwards reversing the flip…My body lands in a full split…right foot forward left back...My blade lunges under Your staff...straight to Your stomach...too many actions 1)blocks attack, 2)changes Position, 3)change weapon, 4)forward flip, 5)reverse flip, 6)attack
This Match was well fought and only Had a couple of Minor mistakes
Takan…(looses 1 point)….you Make a move That while vaguely Possible is Unlikely and would Have little to no chance of success
Stalin…(looses 2 points)….1).. You say Your Opponent Kicked You…when in fact it was a strike from the staff…2)..in Your final post You exceed the 5 action limit
TaKan wins this Match 9-8….

Round Two......
Sulst VAL Raider says to CASCA: step to the pit shoulders loose dashi paired in Me hands the katana and wakisazhi and a heavey double bitted axe on Me back .... gets ready
CASCA
says to SulstVAL Raider: Standing before you looking at your weapons~GRIN~.
.Holds up the two double edged throwing axes..one in each hand thonged around my wrists~shrug~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Sulst…… rushes in fast both blades shimmering in the air as I do lunging in, a blade cutting a sure path for both sides of your body ...they dive like streaking tarns to the prey
~~You did not deal with the axes He has ready, this is necessary when You close
1)CASCA……. Meeting your rush by taking the axes and blocking out the blades from the inside...slamming my head into your on coming nose...now completely in your guard
~~ this is very close to directing another's actions…only the fact that it is totally irrelevant stopped Me from deducting a point
2)Sulst…….: leans back from the head butt and to one side your head smacking on My shoulder inside with a meaty but harmless thud bring both hilts crashing down on your shoulders then turning blades down forcing your wide and stroking My swords back up inside you arms and ribs
this is damn near impossible, for to rotate the swords around from His shoulders, they either come back in to Your own chest or down on to Your own arms
2)CASCA…… Dropping down between the blades feeling a slight sting...as the hilts drive me down...slamming the pointed hilt of the axe in my right into your foot..taking the flattened head of the axe in my left and driving it into your groin before rolling off to the right
You have Missed His sword attack
3) Sulst…….. (1) pushing Me foot back as the hilt misses as Me (2) other baldes slams into the haft of yer other axe pushing the blow down and further out as it scratches across Me shins leaving a fine trail of blood ... (3) then turning a circle its motion powering a (4) foot sweep as you rise both blades flash for your chest (5) one horizontally the (6) other vertically from left shoulder to right hip .. (7) steps back gold and steel blending in a fast defencive routine ...
~~ a few too many actions in this post
3) CASCA…… Watches the foot come as I never rose and catches it full on the axe...feeling the blades pass over head...then rising and stepping back three paces ~shrug~
~~ this would be directing anothers movements…a NoNo..
4) Sulst….. chuckles pulling My foot back before the blade cuts through leather both swords out and high now the routine thrown is a fast and hard driving your axes high and wide then flashing down hard and fast cutting across your biceps then swooping in across your chest high in the muscles there .....steps back waiting
4) CASCA…… ~winces as the blades slice across following you as you step back knocking in the blade of your left as I move past stopping suddenly to turn and deliver a resounding kick to your ass only to miss as you disappeared again..falling on my own ass in embarrasment~muttering about being a sneaky devil~
an interesting Match..Fast and furious….You will notice Nothing is said about engaging anothers weapons when You are nose to nose….for at this range it is posible to strike at another with out skewering yourself on His sword….if a shield is involved though it becomes a different story
Sulst (looses 3 points) too many actions, not dealing with his opponent weapons as He closed and an unrealistic strike…

Great Spar Brother *G*
~~this was Great Spar..... but the Mistakes that were Made were costly.....

Donar…..: walks to the pit....leaps in....showing you my weapons War axe in right hand, long sword in sheath on my back, quiva in belt. Got shield on left arm. Both hands gloved.
Takan …… ~I shuffle slowly to the center of the pit, using my staff as a walking aid, then kneeling to tie back my long hair before standing again, to eye my opponent and smile~ Hai Donar . . . I bring with me this day the short sword and shield you see carried on my back, a quiva of infinite beauty made in Ar, given to me long ago by a beloved Ubar, and this old seven foot staff. So that you know, this “stick”, as Kurzon is wont to call it, is made of black ironwood, capped at both ends in iron with strips of iron running down it’s length to render it unbreakable, and as such is quite capable of defense against sword, axe or lance in the hands of a Master should one be attacked . . .~Grin~
---------------------------------------------------------------
1)Takan says to Donar Bloodaxe Mercenary: A large smile pleasantly on my face, my staff held in one hand at my side as I close the distance between us, I sweep it upward, it's end catching the course sand of the pit, flinging the grains into your eyes, then swiftly using a stabbing motion I drive the iron clad end forward to tap you gently on your forehead, before drawing the stout weapon back just as quickly as I continue around your left, to reach a safe defensive distance
1) Donar …..seeing the sand starting upward raising the shield and lowering my head behind it avoiding the sand....not seeing but hearing the end of your staff striking the upper half of my shield with a resounding *THUD*.....closing quickly as you retreat, giving you very little room.....smashing into your chest and face with the shield....a low chopping blow with the axe striking your knee with the handle of the axe...catching the back of your knee in the crook of the axe blade and yanking HARD
2) Takan …….. Mildly irritated as you close, I drive the iron clad end instantly forward, directly to your mouth, knocking out your front teeth, then feeling the blow to my knee I shift my weight,evading the attempt to knock me down and spinning off to the rear, letting the other end of the staff smash wickedly to the back of your head as I do, trusting to Thor that both blows will serve as a wake up call~ Over here Donar, let us hurry . . .there are slaves to fondle and meade to drink . . ~BAG~
2) Donar ……..: head snapping back with the blow to my mouth but not falling, spitting blood.....spinning and ducking to avoid the second strike to the back of my head....closing behind the shield, step for step as you retreat, giving you no room.....using the shield to knock the staff low.....an overhand chop from the axe hitting your left shoulder and trailing down your arm....the shield between us, axe back for another strike
3) Takan ……..: Feeling the pain from the blow to my shoulder and seeing that you are still before me, the end of the staff instantly shoots upward between us to strike at your nards, hard enough to make the eyes cross, but not hard enough to render you helpless, then spinning it away and reversing ends to come over the top, striking your head, none too gently but only to remind you again that the weapon has two ends before I flow to your left side out of range ~Close is fun . . .let’s do it again…..~Grin~
3) Takan ……… Yelping loudly, disgusted with my slowness as I feel the axe bite my calf I circling to my left, slowly close the distance between us, one end of the staff held high . . . then parrying your weapon to hopefully force your arm down and as I release the pressure, the long end of the staff flys up to whomp you a stunning blow on the side of your head before stumbling around to your rear, once again out of range.
4) Donar Bloodaxe Mercenary says to Takan: seeing you circling to your left, my right toward the axe ....wondering if you're suicidal...then, feeling your staff forcing the axe and arm down, leaning to my right and straining against your effort....feeling you release the parry of my axe but staying low and dropping the axe.....taking the reverse staff strike off the shield in the crouched low position.....my right hand free, two quick blow to the left side of your face with a massive right fist
~~ after rereading Takans Post a half dozen times and then going and picking up a staff just to check for sure it becomes apparent that the strike comes from your right, not a reverse Blow at at all,…..and crouching behind the shield as You descibe would not parry the Blow
Takan says to Donar Bloodaxe Mercenary: ~peers at you out of a rapidly closing eye then grins~ Well fought my friend...it was my honor to be in the pit with you......
This was a well fought and Clean Match,….You may Notice the 3rd Post of Donar's is Missing….I deleted it by accident but it was clean and had no Mistakes…. You May also Notice that no points are deducted When Takan strikes without engaing His opponents weapon ….this is because the staff Has the reach to do this with out closing……
Takan (looses 0 points)
Donar (looses 1 point)…. impossible parry
TaKan wins 10-9

2)Ryll-Al-Lynn…..: remaining close in My stance…not wanting much distance between us, the ring of steel as My blades parry yours sweet music to My ears, feeling My left sword being forced to the side, My right held firm as Your blade sings down its length…My blood welling from the nick of Your blade as I step inside Your exposed side, My left blade circling under Your parry and slashing across midsection as You try to step back, both blades once again held ready.. right high, left low…
. ~~ now that You are fully engaed and mention that You are remaining close the intial parry is no longer needed as Your blades are already in contact
2)Calron…..jerking sharply back, dropping blade point deflecting Your strike, Your blade cutting leathers...My blade parrying Yours as I regain balance....
3)Ryll……circling once again to Your right, waiting for your weight to be on Your left foot, lunging quickly to Your left, My left sword arcing up, then deftly dipping to catch your thigh as I duck and roll, sweeping My right sword hard to strike the back of Your knee with the flat of the blade, rising quickly into a crouch only a pace away slightly behind and to Your side, right high, left low in a crouching guarde position...
3)Calron…..falling for the feint again, feeling the cut across thigh, surpised by the drop and feeling to strike to knee, leg buckling....crouching and pulling bootknife,turning sharply as I am still low, feining a lunge with blade and throw the boot knife into Your right calf....
4)Ryll….: seeing You draw the bootknife and moving to parry the lunge, Your throw catching Me by surprise, grimacing in pain as the blade enters My leg, bringing My right sword down hard with the flat of the blade going straight for the top of Your head, stepping and feeling My right leg buckle, I lunge forward with My left sword as I try to regain My balance, aiming the stroke for Your throwing arm as I fall to a knee and raise both swords before Me en guarde...right high, left low...
4)Calron….seeing the sword rise, rolling out quickly to My right as the flat blade strikes My shoulder...blade cutting across left arm as it comes up in the roll...springing to My feet, stepping in and engaging Your blades, slipping Mine past Your guard to press the tip against Your chest....
....a very close and well fought Match with only a single Mistake..... unfortuanatley it will cost the spar.....
Ryll (looses 1 point) did not engage Your opponets weapons when You first closed......this is a mistake Many people are Making....Having the first Post is not a FREE attack....you are facing a wel l trained opponent who, unless He posts that He is standing with His hands at His side and gazing up at the moons, is ready for Your attack with His weapons out and must be dealt with Priror to attacking if You close to melee Range
Calron (looses 0 points)
Calron wins 10-9
Death shadow.... Enters the Pit...Black Leather Armor Shining in the Fire...Silver Hair Brided....his Only weapons...His talon Claws....and One Quiva...on his forearms are Buckled two Arm bracers...to Shield and Protect....Bowing to all..Pointing to PNAM...His Home...His Family...For Whom he Fights....touching the Heart Necklace on his Neck....a gift from his jewel...and kissing the Strip of her silks wrapping it around his Forhead
Shotokan………: black cloak fluttering to the ground, stepping into the pit quietly, katana belted to His side.... daggers strapped to His wrists.... gazing quietly
--------------
1) Shotokan…..moving swiftly through the pit, feinting a high slash to the head, spinning down Your left side, slamming the hilt to Your head, blade weaving in defense
1)DS..... Meeting your advance blocking the Slash with my left Arm Bracer as my right Claw rakes Up your body from left hip to right shoulder...spinning as my foot shoots out to catch your chest as the Hilt hits...rolling to my feet with the blow
~~ confused here either You were alredy standing or Your previous actions make no sense
2)Shotokan...... staggering back from the blow to the chest, blood running down in rivulets over My chest, blade slashing in high backhand, spinning and dropping low, blade tip grazing thighs, stepping back.... side stance, blade weaving......
~~you would need to stand first
2)DS...... Feeling the Blade Nick my legs as I leap into a roll, rising to bring both Claws straight Up in an X across your chest...knocking the Blade away with my right arm as I spin...bringing the leg around to Your Head dancing back on my toes...hands held up in Claws...grinning
3)Shotokan..... feeling the burn through My chest, ducking quickly to avoid the boot, rising and slamming a fist to Your face.....stepping back and slashing down Your chest with the blade
3)DS...... My Nose splits as the fist Connects as Both Hands shoot up ...grabbing your Wrist as the sword descends....turning my body throwing you as I yank back on the wrist..........dropping as Both Legs Wrap tight on the arm resting them on your chest as I torque Back Hard on the extended arm
~~I am not allowing this even though I understand the Move….BUT would rather NOT see A throw included in a post as it assumes that Your opponent is going with it…had you posted "Hoping to throw You" it would be okay…..and I know……doing it that way would not allow the rest of the move but to My view this is directing an opponents actions big time
4)Shotokan..... feeling the tendons strain, ignoring the pain slamming stiffened fingers to the nerve cluster on Your leg, and rolling up, drawing dagger, left arm weaving... right hanging low to the side, apparently useless
4)DS..... rolling back....coming to one leg......then dropping into a forward Roll...hand reaching back to the Quiva in my Neck brace...tossing it to strike the good arm as I rise to One knee.......growling ready
~~ as I read this You Have just rolled To close range….too close to be throwing a weapon
~~ you do not deal with His weapon as You close
-----------------
a well fought and interesting spar
Shotokan (looses 1 point) walking before standing
DeathShadow (looses 4 points) I am afraid that the combination moves of the Martial arts just do not translate to this format…. Although I could "see" each move You described, many of the martial art Moves
Involve your opponent going where You want ( ie: a throw or toss) and it states in the rules that You may not force anothers action by posting His moves….a couple of other minor Mistakes as well
Shotokan wins 9-6

1)Stalin............: My hands hold My staff lightly, My feet move quickly across the pit, My staff outwards. My staff thrusting to hit firmly on Yours. spinning off to Your side after the hit. My upper body swings the staff hard towards the back of Your knees..
~~ you do not deal with Your opponents weapon first before attacking when You close…as BOTH of You have staffs the ability to stand at range at strike is negated
1) Lijena Anane.......*feels the staff hit mine.. turns quickly.. dropping to knees as your staff hits them.. moving staff to the side and slamming it towards your knee.. stands and turns to face you.. spinning staff again*

My hands griped at the end of My staff I spin to My left. My upper body again swings hard towards Your belly..I pull My staff back quickly in defence**
~~ your opponent did not back away…..therefore charging forward is not possible
3) Lijena Anane......: *swings staff blocking yours ... moving mine to the right.. swinging a foot out to catch yours.. rolls back and stands .. holding staff at the ready..talons clicking upon the wood*
4) Stalin.............groans out as I fall to the sands. quickly kick flipping upwards. I charge at You. My legs pumping in full force. My hands holding My staff I toss it upwards to Your face as I near. My hands now clear as I charge. I hurl My feet forwards as I jump and lay back hitting hard on Your right knee..quickly rolling away to one knee..My bare chest heaving as I stare at You..
~~ you do not deal with Your opponents weapon first before attacking when You close…
4) Lijena Anane.......: *tosses staff knocking yours out of the way.. dropping as you hit my knee.. slices down with the talons towards your chest.. sliding them down.. tosses head back and looks at you from one knee.. breathing hard

Takan….Stands and moves slowly to the center of the pit, using my staff as a walking aid, then kneeling to tie back my long hair before standing again, to eye my opponent and smile~ Hai Azazel . . . I will use the short sword and shield you see carried on my back, a quiva from Ar, and this old seven foot staff. So that you know, this “stick”, is made of black ironwood, capped at both ends in iron with strips of iron running down it’s length to render it unbreakable, and I might add it is quite capable of defense against sword, axe or lance assuming one knows how to use it…. . .~Grin~
Azazel……...standing up and moving into the pit.. pulling off my tunic and showing to all the quiva at my belt.. and the blade strapped to my side.... grabbing my spare blade and strapping it to my back quickly as I walk across the sand.... unsheathing the dark assassin's blade and watching the glint from the moons shimmer off of the blade....
---------------
1)Takan…..Flowing forward I engage your blade with the end of my staff parrying it off to the side a bit to test your arm strength more than anything else then raising the staff from its 45 degree angle to full horizontal I whip the other end around cracking you in the shoulder as I move past to your rear out of blade range to stand ready and waiting. . .
1)Azazel……feeling you pull my blade wide and then feeling the sting of your staff to my side but turning and moving with you to keep you from gaining your senses in time... watching how you hold your staff and timing it until just right, then kicking out with my right leg to push your staff out wide... then bringing down my dark blade across your chest, then bringing my other foot up as my other slams down and kicking toward your stomach to push you away.... moving back 4 paces as my right side faces you and my blade tip pointed toward you....
2)Takan……Hey!! You sliced my leathers damnit...and they are new!! ~Feeling the sting of the cut a mere second before recoiling backward, luckily avoiding the kicks, and eyeing you as I shuffle forward again in a circular route looking for an opening, then snapping the end of the long staff in a downward arc to engage your blade in only a slight parry the main force bounces upward slightly . . .rides over the guard to painfully whack your wrist and scrap along your forearm before I pull back slightly to return to my defensive position staff held at my right side angled downward, as I continue to circle you, remaining slightly out of sword range, muttering~ kashi is gonna be pissed
2)Azazel…….....watching you approach and seeing you bring the blade down and quickly moving to my right to avoid the staff, circling around and coming back to you as you mutter.....Seeing your guard position with your staff tip angled down and kicking my leg out to try to hit the bottom of your staff, to try to ricochet the other end into your head... Moving quickly back and throwing my quiva with my free hand, hearing it's song as it seeks out your chest, holding my blade diagonal across my chest and waiting for you to come to me...
3)Takan…….Snorting at your attempt, neither end of the long staff close enough to my head to hit it, I simple raise the staff and poke you with it first in the forehead and then to the belly as you retreat, letting it slide out through my hands in a snapping motion, then twisting and leaning my body violently from the waist to avoid the quiva, I grin and wait........
3)Azazel……feeling the hit to the back of my head and then my stomach... using the force of the blows to tumble forward.. coming up and throwing the sand that my free hand had time to gather up in the air to your face as I stand and then quickly bringing my long over and down to slash at your shoulder since you did not guard.... unsheathing my short and thrusting the blade toward your stomach after my long slashes..... moving back 4 paces and letting my blades whirl in defense....
back of Your Head?? I don’t see where You had turned around
4)Takan…..closing my eyes briefly to avoid the sand I feel the bite of the sword to my shoulder before whipping the staff automatically across and up to horizontal, blocking your thrust to my belly, then leaping forward with perfect timing to snap the iron clad end out a full seven feet, catching you hard in the solar plexus, then withdrawing to your left, out of range
4)Azazel…….....diving to the sand to avoid that slow seven foot big ugly stick that you wield..... quickly jumping up and moving to you... trying to push your staff out wide with my long as my short slashes up to try to nick your ear.... Good Spar Bro. *S*
A damn good spar….I could only find one mistake but that one will cost the match

(5) bringing a knee up into your groin... (6) a quick strike with the flat of the axe against the side of your head... (7) .leaping back 3, crouching behind the shield as I land, axe back for a strike
~~ a few too many actions in this post……
3)Kazrak: shaking my head from the head butt as my long is moved out with your parry as well as my short... sliding my long off your shield down across your knee slicing while easing the blow to my groin... still shaking my head and feeling your axe hitting the side of my face.. stepping to you parrying your shield out with my long, axe down and in with my short easing the tip of my blade to your chin.. backing up three
3)Donar: feeling the long cutting my left leg......jerking my head back and ducking the blades as you move them toward me....feeling you release the shield from parry, bringing the shield from low left under both swords and blocking the swords vary high....closing with you as you retreat again, step for step....a side arm chop with the axe hits your left shoulder ....falling back three behind the shield, axe back
4)Kazrak: shocked at how quick you are with your shield as my blades are raised high spining to free myself from the parry of your shield catching your axe stopping the chop to my shoulder....moving back of you parrying your shield into your axe with my Long Sword slicing down at your calf with my short backing up and to the right three
~~ this is directing Your opponents actions…..by saying "into"…..try stating instead "hoping to"
4)Donar: feeling the sword forcing my axe into my shield, moving with the force of your parry and backing up, freeing the axe and shield....backing further, past the range of the short sword strike to my legs....leaping toward you, landing on my knees, shield over my head for protection from the swords....striking side arm with the axe into your left thigh

Lijena Anane…..boot knife.. *pulls on the talons.. and stands..dropping one of the gorean short swords and adjusting the other.. *
Calron….1 boot knife, Tuchuk belt knife, secured to right forearm... and one Torvaldslanders Great
axe....
---------------------------------------------------------------
1)Lijena Anane…….*pulls the sword and starts it into its pattern .. watching you as I circle..swings sword high from the right as I lunge forward.. bringing left hand out across your chest... steps back quickly standing ready*
~~did not deal with His weapon as You approached
1)Calron……sidestepping the lunge, blocking left hand down with shaft of great axe... stepping toward You, feigning a thrust of the axe toward midsection, swinging axe down and catching one side of the broadhead behind ankle, pulling the axe toward Me, bringing the axe back to defense...
~~did not deal with Her weapon as You approached I would not have docked this point had You not stated that You stepped forward
2)Lijena Anane……: *falls as the axe catches my ankle.. rolling to one knee.. bringing sword across my body as I pull the boot knife..rolls forward and slices the knife towards your left thigh.. rolls to your right and stands.. ready to defend
2)Calron…..knocking Your hand away with shaft end as the blade slices across thigh...turning to face You, back stepping to keep distance to My advantage...parrying Your blade high with 6ft shaft of axe, dropping shaft to thrust it into Your belly, drawing it back to defense....
this confuses Me as You have already stated You are moving Back……and to do this sort of parry and move You would need to be closer or would Have to reverse the axe and grip completely, neither which You state….this Move works with a staff but becomes clumsy and ineffectual with a great axe unless You are standing close
3)Lijena Anane……bringing the blade down.. blocking the shaft and moving it downward....as I stomp on the Handle shattering it.. spins to the right and swings the sword down across your arm.. backs away into stance again
this is a no no… how do You know that He did not Move the Axe?……try posting "tries to shatter it" instead next time
3)Calron……the blade forced down with the block, swinging the shaft to My right away from Your foot...feeling the cut across forearm,... taking left hand from shaft to draw belt knife...throwing the knife toward Your thighs, grabbing shaft quickly, stepping and thrusting end of broad head above and past Your guard, connecting with Your forehead....returning to the defense axe held diagonally across My body....
……a No no…That is forcing Her Move and not allowing Her a chance to parry if She wished
4)Lijena Anane……..feeling the knife enter my thigh.. ducks and rolls forward slicing talons towards your belly.. feels the axe hit forehead knocking me back .. stands shaking head sways slightly as I take a defensive stance again
4)Calron…….arcing back away from the talons, feeling them cut through leathers and cut a warm trail across flesh....seeing You sway I quickly move in and drop to leg sweep You as I raise shaft up to deflect Your blade, then slam the butt of shaft down against Your knee....
an Interesting spar….. a few small mistakes though That become costly

3)~*NightStorm*~………steps back as You spin....feeling the force of the blade forced inward...head jerking to the side and stumbling as Your blade meets Her head.....growling as She feels the trickle of blood down Her calf....moves forward and to Your left as She bats Your blade down....circling quickly toward Your neck....spinning behind and back and turning to face You....blade held with both hands in a figure eight....
4)Shotokan…….blade arcing out, deflecting the keen edge away from My tender flesh... spinning and leaping into the air, legs scissoring, slamming the heel of a foot Your face, blade arcing down in a downward strike..... landing in the sand...... blade tip hovering
~~as She has Moved back it is necessary to deal with Her weapons before You leap up and kick Her

2)Kharog....... *Moving as Your left TWIN comes down, but a little too slowly as it stabs My shoulder, then feeling My blades parried high and My knee kicked....Relentlessly moving forward at You and swinging My mek'leth from side to side, parrying Your TWIN with My sword as I slice first from left to right, then right to left, on Your thigh*

2) Damora.... ...grinning at YOur advance and hissing at the feel of blood on My thigh...dropping onto My back and kicking at both Your knees, rolling aside to a knee with the TWINS crossed and ready, grinning hard again at You ...
3) Kharog...... *Throwing the sword aside as I feel You kick at both My knees, then taking My bat'telh from My back and charging You, parrying the TWINS high in a test of strength, rolling over You and rising to a knee behind You*
~~hmmmm what did You do with the second weapon when You drew the batleth
3) Damora..... ..watching You, grinning as You advance again ... rolling backwards with You as You parry My blades and roll Me over ... turning, the TWINS quickly lashing out to stab at Your knee and thigh as You are on a knee ... quickly scrambling back and up at the ready again ...
4) Kharog...... *Watching You turn, then seeing Your TWIN stab at My knee and thigh, letting the lavender-colored blood stain the pit as I rise and charge You, parrying the TWINS up and headbutting You, then dropping back twirling My bat'telh in a figure-8*
4) Damora..... feeling My blades go up and My nose begin to bleed I grin across to Ya ... charging You, sliding the left TWIN'S blade through the lattice work of the bat'leth and trying to turn it loose, My right TWIN then slashes low over Your thigh and I back away quickly and grin ...
A good Spar tight and clean......but I am starting to get picky now as we get to the later rounds
Kharog (looses 3 points) missing a weapon parry and forgeting to rise before walking and trying to hold tomany weapons at one time....
Damora (looses 0 point)

Round Four......
MSR wins By default As Azael never showed for the Spar....
*Takan* : ~Sighs and walks to the pit feeling more apprehension than he has in all his other spars combined, muttering to himself~ If he hurts me I’m gonna tell mom and she will beat the living shit out of him . . .always picking on me . . . damnit . . . ever since we were little . . . not fair . . . just cause I’m bigger, stronger and much better looking is no reason for him to be mean to me . . .
CASCA says to *Takan*: Using a staff right....
*Takan* says to CASCA: ~reaches the center of the pit and looks up~ Aye Twin . . . I have my “stick”, the short sword and shield strapped to my back and the quiva from Ar that you gave me, which never leaves my side . . . well, almost never. . .~grin~
CASCA…..: Reaches into the bag and pulls out two straight sticks..each the width of Takns staff and around two and a half feet in length..sliding my hands into the padded guards to protect my delicate fingers and holding them up,,showing the steel hooks on the end of both..stepping into the pit
………………….
1)Takan………Flowing forward, looking for a safe move, I shoot my staff out, sending it between your shorter sticks to lightly, oh so lightly, touch you on the chest, then instantly withdrawing it as I back pedal, I turn and run like a tarn in a dive for the far side of the pit, where I then stand, slightly out of breath, looking at you and thinking to myself. . . ~he’s gonna kill me~
1)CASCA…….Watching you come in and moves the right stick up to block the staff...feeling the light tap on my chest I then move ..Sliding forward to you...I strike with the left letting it slide against the staff till it hooks..then pulling hard toward me...Bringing the one in my right up to your left forearm...and slipping the hook over it pulling down...~looking in you the eye~..Hi there
2)Takan………AWWWWWWW SHIT!!! ~wiggles and squirms until I manage to free myself, falling on my ass in the process, then holding my staff before me to tap your oversized big left foot, I scoot backwards on my butt until I can stand at a safe
2)CASCA…….~Ouch~.wincing at the tap....Sliding forward again...taking the left stick and under hooking the staff...pulling down as I crouch and step in to your waist then lifting up quickly with you across my shoulders...~Odin your heavy..try slim fast~
…..that is a NO NO You are Not allowing Him to react…..
3)Takan………~Sighs deeply, remembering the last time he did this move and threw me in the dung pit when we were 12, then remembering you are ticklish, drops my staff and pokes you in the ribs repeatedly with both hands until you let go and I can scurry back to my staff, embarrassed, indignant, but still in one piece~ HA...not this time Twin..............~grins~
…..that is a NO NO You are Not allowing Him to react…..
3)CASCA…….~Damn~.grinning and moving forward again with renewed and devious purpose ...Tapping up the staff with my left I slip around your back , hooking your pants with my right..and pulling down hard... ~humming Moon River~
4)Takan………Yelps and grabs my pants with both hands then seeing you still close kicks sand toward your face as I poke you in the stomach with the blunt end, hard enough to remind you I’m grown up now . . .Thinking this is Kurzon’s fault. He did this so I’d get my zjad kicked because of the song I sung. And He didn’t even wait for the last verse
…pokes Him with what????….both hands are holding Your pants…..
4)CASCA…….Blocking off the staff so it stays away from the solar plexus..and closing my eyes and reach forward blindly and hook something........................................which happens to be your downed pants and jerks back hard...Falling backward with the motion
the silliest spar I have seen in a while
Takan (looses 2 points) directing opponents movement and an unfeasible action
CASCA (looses1 point) for directing His opponents actions

~~ I am forced to wonder at the Validity of this… You are standing close to Your opponent and Have Just pushed His Blade down from Your thigh with Yours….I feel thatdue to the closeness and the two blades, kicking out at Him would Be a very hard thing to do… it is a minor point but seems to be the only inconsistency I can find in this excellent spar

ARES....... Nods, walks over with My spare Turian shield, oval in shape, strapped to My left arm .. broadsword strapped to My back, short sword in My right hand .. wearing leather boots, pants, vest and leather gauntlets .. in My left gauntlet is a quiva ..
Takan...... ~Stands and walks to the center of the pit, then nods to the his Jarl and to his Opponent, the Ubar~ I have a short sword in the scabbard on my back with a shield hung there as well . . . a second mate hangs at my right side and this simple staff. The staff is not as imposing a weapon as the two short swords, however, I kinda like carrying it. Six feet in length, made of black ironwood, capped at both ends in iron, with strips of iron running down it's length, it is quite capable of defense against sword, axe or lance in the hands of a Master . . . ~Smiles~
...............................................
1)Takan........ A somber expression on my face, ~never underestimate an Ubar who is wise in his choice of weapons~ my staff held at my side as I slowly begin to close the distance between us . . . then sweeping it upward, letting it's end catch the course sand of the pit, (an old but valuable trick) flinging the grains towards your eyes as I raise the long weapon, swiftly stabbing it forward to drive the iron clad end in a feint to your forehead, before snapping the stout weapon back just as quickly then I spin the staff to crack against your side and continue my path circling rapidly around to your rear, reaching a safe defensive distance
1)ARES......... ducking behind the shield as the sand flies, meeting Your staff with My short sword, steel against iron and wood ...turning to face You and advancing towards You, My shield coming at one end of Your staff as My short sword engages the other end, stepping in, right boot sweeping towards Your left ankle to sweep Your feet from the ground ..
2)Takan....... Seeing you close, waiting patiently as you engage my staff widely at both end, then twisting it vertially between us and leaning on it slightly for a second to avoid falling I quickly step back bringing the end up out of the stand to drive between your legs, not the friendliest of blows, then retreat to a safe distance again out of blade range....
2)ARES......... again shifting My shield in front of Me to halt the staff's movement .. advancing towards You, dropping to one knee as I close in, raising shield to block and bringing My short sword across Your thighs in a light slice
3)Takan......... ~sseing you approach and drop to a knee I try somewhat unsuccessfully to avoid your blade winching as it cuts, my legs already in motion as I step to the side, circling quickly behind you to whack you soundly on the back of the head in passing as I retreat again... .
3)ARES............. .. back of head throbbing as I feel the whack, grunting with the pain as I stand and turn, unbuckling the shield, letting it and My short sword drop .. advancing towards You, My hands flashing out quickly to grab Your staff, pulling it towards Me as I step in to head butt You hard
4)Takan............. Amazed at your move, I let go of the staff with one hand and drive my open palm up hard into your face as you close, saving myself much damage, before re-graspping the staff with both hands to twist hard to free it and retreat again.grinning at you.......
~~ I thought about this and finally decieded that if You let go of the staff with one hand then You lost it.....He was pulling on with two......this would invalidate the rest of the post making it an unfeasible move
4)ARES.............. considers screaming out "My face, My face, My handsome face" as My face hits Your palm hard, shaking it clear, drawing My broadsword from My back as I advance, feinting a lunge towards Your right side, following thru the blade purposely missing as I close in, lifting My elbow to knock Your jaw .. steps back Well met
a very tight and close match with no obvious Mistakes I had to get very picky to determine a winner…be warned as these are the final matches coming up and the judging is going to get very tight…..
Takan (looses 1 point) unfeasible Move

Damora…..laughs at A/all the peoples wanting to see My rask kicked, moving to the pit, iron banded shield over left arm and spiked short ax in right hand...grinning brightly.. Shrugging to feel the weight of the TWINS across My back, settling sideways behind shield Ready when You are Sis *S*
Nightstorm……laughs and shakes Her head.....steps into the pit.....longsword drawn....a shortsword at Her side and a dagger tucked in Her belt.....
……………….
1)NightStorm…….takes the longsword in both hands as She moves in quickly....parrying Your axe to the outside as She turns a shoulder to Your shield...slamming against it.....drops and rolls away to stand facing You....blade tip toward You........
1)Damora………grinning as You advance, feeling My ax parried and Your shoulder at My shield… kicking out at Your head as You drop to roll away backwards...running at You behind My shield crashing into You and Your sword, My ax sliding over Your left thigh as I roll on over and turn to a knee behind My shield grinning at You again...
2)NightStorm…….(1) feeling the breeze from Your foot as She rolls....the sword driven from Her hand as She flies backward...growls, feeling the blood flow from Her thigh as She uses the momentum to(2) roll back to a stand...(3) pulling Her short and moving toward You....

(6) slices across Your back and (7) moves back......left side forward...left arm across Her body.....blade pointed toward You in right hand....
~~ too many actions in this post
2)Damora………watching You regain feet and advance again, grinning hard and slamming the shield to your right knee as You parry My ax, rolling forward from My knee as You stumble around behind Me and try to cut Me, turning back to Ya still on a knee and behind My shield slightly, grinning hard....
~~ this Move troubles Me ….She went to the opposite side of Your Shield and parried Your axe in…..I would think that the combination of Her placing and Your axe would severely limit the movement of Your shield Making this move very unlikely…
~~who said she stumbled???? No directing Her actions
3)NightStorm…….feeling the light impact of the shield as She move around....moving toward you....parrying Your axe outward as She lifts a foot and pushes HARD against the top of the shield.....spinning to the side and facing You....
3)Damora………grinning at Ya as You approach...feeling My ax parried and rising hard from My knee as Your foot hits My shield...stepping up then and turning the ax to slam the flat of it against Your ribs before stepping back several paces and grinning at You again ...
4)NightStorm…….wincing and growling as the axe slams into Her ribs......stops a second to clear Her head..... (1)draws the dagger and (2)flips it quickly downward into Your foot.....(3)rolls to Your axe side and rises to a knee (4)with short upward to block...(5).punches You hard in the ribs.....(6)and rolls back to stand.....
~~ Too many actions here
4)Damora……… watches You draw the dagger and send it, quickly jumping left as it grazes My boot, turning slightly as You roll close and sliding the shield over in front of Me to catch Your fist as You punch....grinning...GREAT SPAR SIS!!
~~She went to Your right side and even with the "slight" turn getting Your shield over to block "in front" of you would not stop the punch
……….
A hard fought Match, very close and well done

ARES......... whistles .. strapping on a Turian shield to My left arm, oval in shape .. quiva in left, leather gauntlet sheath .. broadsword strapped to My back, in My right hand a short sword .. nods ..
......................
1)CASCA........ Nods~..Then moves quickly to your left the small axe in my left licking out to parry your shield inward as I spin quickly with the parry driving the mace in my right in an arc to your left shoulder staying close
1)ARES............ shield meeting Your axe, stepping back to move My sword to meet Your mace as it arcs to My left shoulder, turning My body slightly with the move, stepping in and lifting My right boot to sweep at Your left ankle
~~~This Parry really doesn’t work very well.... the way You describe this You are crossing Your Arms to block the opposite side weapon which would bind you up and reduce the efectiveness of this to almost nil.. even with the step back It is still very bad move
2)CASCA........ Feeling the shift of your body as you meet my weapons I drive forward into you letting my head meet your chin letting the momentum carry me into you
~~~I see no response to His foot sweep, even if You feel that a move was inefective You must acknowledge it in some way.....
2)ARES............ head going back, stumbling back as I feel Your chin , quickly regaining balance .. short sword slicing low towards the side of Your left thigh, My shield slamming foward into You, to push You back ..
3)CASCA........ Stopping short as I run into your shield then feeling the release of the pressure of the short sword from the mace I quickly drive it into your left shoulder, cursing as I feel the sting of the cut to my thigh, leaning against the shield to maintain pressure
3)ARES............ growling as I feel the mace bite into My shoulder, using the right side of My body and bracing My legs to support Myself as You lean against My shield .. then grunting as I push hard to hopefully unbalance You, moving shield out to meet any axe or mace attacks .. slicing short sword horizontally, aimed for Your left side of Your body ..
4)CASCA........ As I feel your push and let myself slide off to your left stepping past you and in a backhand swing sending the smaller axe again to your left shoulder..letting the momentum carry me around so I end up facing your side..mace up while the axe rest low to my left
~~~Hmmmm seem to Have ignored the sword cut....even if You think that Your movement would negate the Blow You need to state this....
4)ARES............ seeing You out of the corner of My left eye, ducking the axe swing, stepping back as I shift My body to face You .. stepping to You, shield out to block any axe attacks, short sword engaging Your mace to push it out from Your body..... lifting My right boot to kick You hard in the stomach ..
~~~ Again this parry does Not really work...for the same reasons explained in post #1 ~~~the Kick to the stomach becomes near impossible as You have stated that Your shield is out to Block His axe ... And His axe is held low and on Your right side. the shield would there fore prevent Your leg from being able to kick up at His stomach
