On the eve of the pyre for the Administrators sword-brother Talem people gathered to pay their respects. Some of those gathered were men of the Isle of Scagnar. In their ranks stood a man by the name of Thorarin Bloodaxe. During the course of the evening Thorarin managed to disparage the deceased, the pyre and the town and men paying homage to their fallen comrade. This was an insult that the Administrator could not abide by. Rather than let this pass unanswered the Administrator challenged not only Thorarin but the entire Isle of Scagnar to an fight for honor. Jonas the Red, High Jarl of Scagnar, answered the call and it was decided that five men from Scagnar would meet five men from Minus to settle this debt of honor. Men from each home clashed. Padishir and Azazel were the first pair of men to fight. Padishir took the fight, starting out the clash with Scagnar ahead. Scagnar furthered their lead when our tiny Torvie, Bejar, matched up against the High Jarl himself. From there, however, it was smooth sailing. Aias beat Kalton, Trei beat Olli, and in what was probably considered the most important match up of the fights Cimber beat Thorarin. Minus came out on top, besting the men of Scagnar. Honor was fought for and restored, the insult now answered by the might of the men of Minus. To commemorate this occasion a silver bladed axe was forged with the names of all 10 men that had fought for their homes honor. The account of those fights follows. |

Azazel vs Padishir 3 rounds, 10 minutes each, Prodigy, Erus to judge - STANCE |- First Sword of Minus -|- [PIC] -|- Azazel Sevatius -|- -|- High Council Member of Minus -|- -|- Commander of the Tarnsmen -|- is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Padishir R’honeStewardIn: -He stood 9 ft from you, 6'3" 230 lbs. In his right hand he held his 36" scimitar blade. It was held hip height, blade pointed towards you and angled slightly upwards. On his left arm was a 44" tall by 24" wide curved face turian shield. It was held 45 degrees to the left, the bottom rim would be about the height of my knee, the top rim about chin height, the inner rim about midway across my body, the outer rim wrapped around my left side. He stood square to you, knees bent slightly to lower his center of gravity, toes facing you. Y-slotted helm on his head as he nodded and awaited your stance.- Y slot helm 36" scim in right 44x24 Turian shield on left Square 6'3", 230lbs Distance 9 feet (21:26:20 ) [PIC] Padishir R’hone Steward Inlet of Green Cliffs is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to -|- First Sword of Minus: I stood facing you, standing 6'8" tall weighing 290 pounds. I let my eyes fall over you taking note of your weapons. My left hand I held a Pani short sword. It's razor honed blade 22 inches long. The swords handle 9 inches long, long enough for two-handed grip if desired. A simple oval bronze disc guard measuring 4.5 inches separated my left hand from the blade also protecting my left hand. Sheathed on my right hip was a long heavy dagger it's blade double-edged and 16 inches long, with a 3 inch cross guard. My right hand I gripped 30 inch round Torvie shield. With a 7 inch steel center boss, and rimmed with a thin band of iron wrapped in thick leather. On my head I wore a northern conical helm. With full nasal, and chain mail drape to my shoulders. I position my left held sword with my left hand over my shoulder and the sword cocked back at 45°. I bring my shield up to just above my heart the face angled slightly in my right, leaving my left arm some freedom to move. The shield covered from my heart to upper thigh. I made our distance 20 feet, and took up a slightly closed stance. My feet shoulder width apart, my right foot leaving my left by only 12 inches. I nodded I was ready. Conical Helm 22" short in left 16" dagger on hip 30" Torv shield in right Closed, right lead 6'8", 290lbs Distance opened to 20 feet Round 1 (21:29:42 ) -|- First Sword of Minus -|- [PIC] -|- Azazel Sevatius -|- -|- High Council Member of Minus -|- -|- Commander of the Tarnsmen -|- is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Padishir R’honeStewardIn: -As you increased our distance, I could see that you had a much longer sword then his own, he came up towards you and circled slightly to his right, his intent was to come up on your left side where your blade was held high, closing the distance between us to about 3 ft, it was enough room for my 36" blade and plenty for your own- -As the distance was closed and I had come in towards your left side, I slashed my blades upwards in a slight counterclockwise arc from my hip, the blade was aiming to come around to attack your back, just beneath the edge of your own blade that was over your shoulder, hoping to strike at least your left shoulder blade and make you unable to wield your own weapon.- first person OR 3rd person....please? LOL Ok Easy defended ( 10 ) (21:37:05 ) [PIC] Padishir R’hone Steward Inlet of Green Cliffs is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to -|- First Sword of Minus: He began to circle to your right and so I circled with you keeping you more or less in front of me and not allowing you to get the angle you were seeking. You brought the distance down to 3 feet between us and I waited patiently as you began to bring your sword in from my left my left arm would whip down from my left shoulder moving to my left my left wrist snapping down my short sword blade turning nearly vertical as I brought it hammering into your scimitar. Hopefully parrying your scimitar wide to my left and keeping my body safe from your blade I took a halfstep forward on my left leg and swung my right held shield from my right to my left seeking to hook your rounded shield on its left edge mpov and do nothing more than pusher shield slightly to my right as I brought my left held sword thrusting back in from my left to my right snapping my left wrist upwards to bring the blade horizontal and seeking to bury the first 6 inches of blade into your right rib cage just under your armpit. It being a quick in and out jab my my left arm recoil to my left side after the stab Yep, easy done. You swung right to left, hoping to push it to your right....would have been better opening it slightly from left to right to try and hook. Attack is good, but the shield stuff is in error -1 ( 9 ) Round 2 (21:41:45 ) -|- First Sword of Minus -|- [PIC] -|- Azazel Sevatius -|- -|- High Council Member of Minus -|- -|- Commander of the Tarnsmen -|- is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Padishir R’honeStewardIn: -As I felt your blade parry mine out to my left, I knew that I was exposed and I didn't even waste time waiting for your movement as I pivoted on my left foot, your should would press against his own but hopefully with the force of momentum and the fact that he started movement so early he would be able to drag his shield against yours from his left to his right, using the momentum of the pivot to swing his right side body behind his left, his shield would cross his body and face his right, hoping that if he couldn't get his shield face in the way of your stabbing movement in time, he would at least be able to parry your blade out to his right to prevent himself from being touched by your steel.- -He then quickly punched his shield forward, not too much, he didn't want to knock you backwards or offbalance, mostly just to distract you as he slashed his right held blade across from his right to his left, hoping to bring the edge of the blade across your exposed left underarm and cause your sword wielding arm to be disabled, his right held blade continue its movement downwards so that his blade would find rest once more at his right hand side.- Nicely done. He states his attack is a stab and his arm recoils to his left side. Also, he parried your sword down....thus a downward swing would not be getting at his underarm ( I read as armpit otherwise the area is too vague) as he is 6'8" tall. -1 ( 9 ) 21:49:43 ) [PIC] Padishir R’hone Steward Inlet of Green Cliffs is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to -|- First Sword of Minus: I cursed loudly I cursed loudly as you shield came in and knocked my blade to my left. I also knew I was exposed slightly and so immediately my left foot would drawback into a pivot on my right foot while I sent my sword into a backhanded right to left swing with the blade angle nearly straight up and down so as to parry your incoming blade off to my left once more my arm had already been pulling back and that coupled the pivot would speed my sword on its way to yours stepping forward on my right foot to close us down to 2 feet. At the same time I tipped the face of my shield forward and down and then punched hard from my right to left seeking to bring the top of the shield into and under the left side of your chin. Hopefully knocking you to your knees or at least making you see stars Works I do like a good shield bash, but you need to keep in mind where his shield is at. He stated the top being at chin level, so the chances of you getting under his chin are minimal at best unless he moves it the wrong way, but you might be able to deflect up and ring his bell. Target not accessible -1 ( 8 ) Round 3 (21:52:30 ) -|- First Sword of Minus -|- [PIC] -|- Azazel Sevatius -|- -|- High Council Member of Minus -|- -|- Commander of the Tarnsmen -|- is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Padishir R’honeStewardIn: -Feeling you stepping back as you tried to avoid the slash of my scimitar, your shield was pulled back during the initial pivot and i took that chance to bring my shield rapidly from its position from in front of me and to my right back out to my left, hoping by doing so, i would collide the strike of your shield punch with that of my now left facing shield face and prevent a knock across my chin- -With your left side having pivoted back his right held blade slashed across from his right to his left, hoping to cut the blade across your now exposed gut and midsection and end the fight here and now- The move is workable, the timing is not. You state that you are making a move as he is defending your prior attack, which equates to a backpost in a sense. A simple pivot and bat would have done it. -1 His sword is inside yours as per his previous parry....no go -1 ( 7 ) (22:00:10 ) [PIC] Padishir R’hone Steward Inlet of Green Cliffs is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to -|- First Sword of Minus: well my shield had already been moving to my left. As you brought your shield back over to your left mine would skidder or bounce off of yours and I would let it continue to my left and bring the left edge of my shield hard into your slashing blade in both block and drive the blade to my left and slightly down. All the while my left arm was rising above my left shoulder bringing my sword with it the blade vertical. I made a quick shuffle step sliding my right foot forward about a foot hopefully getting his back to roughly 2 feet once more. At the same time I brought my shield in a vicious and hard arc once more from my left to my right and again seeking to hook your shield and drive it even farther to your left as you had been moving it to your left previously. My left arm would follow immediately behind my shield and I would make a hard hacking stroke for your shoulder joint at the point where your arm joined shoulder. Seeking to either remove or ruin your right arm. Doable, extra pivot speed would assist. I don't like the shuffle, but you state sliding it so we'll go with that.... Saved that at the end stating which arm.....this is good, and very violent.. ( 8 ) Defense Post (22:02:34 ) -|- First Sword of Minus -|- [PIC] -|- Azazel Sevatius -|- -|- High Council Member of Minus -|- -|- Commander of the Tarnsmen -|- is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Padishir R’honeStewardIn: -Feeling your shield cutting across, connecting with his own as he felt you pull it out to his left, he knew your left held blade would attack, he brought his right held blade up and across from its position to his left where your shield had possibly stopped it and upwards towards his right, the intent was to have his scimitar blade clash with your own blade and parry it out wards to his right and away from his shoulder and flesh, preventing the harm from occurring.- -He took a few steps back, a smile on his face as he inclined his head- Well fought Padishir! He batted it to his left, your right....so taking it up and to your right would simply open you up here....sword up high to your right as his sword hacks deeply and brutally as intended....fight is ended. ===================== Result: Winner by amputation - Padishir ===================== Comments: Not a bad fight....the switching between 1st and 3rd person from both of you confused me, I can only imagine how each of you saw it and I think that is why there was so many errors from two of the most crisp fighters I know. Any comment, feel free My thanks Erus Edited by Rumor, Jan 11 2015, 09:18 PM.

Bottom rim would cover midway down the front of my right thigh. My left hand positioned to rest outside of myleft hip. The blade held in a 45degree vertical line upward with the flat of blade passing the left rim of my shield. The tip of my sword aimed at your right collarbone( if you were standing facing with your torso towards me). I positioned myself so that the distans between us were 10 feet. I then gave a nod to you that i was ready to begin. Y slot helm 30" long in left 36" Torv shield in right Right foot lead 6'4, 230lbs Distance 10 feet (12:46:52 ) Jøna§ §iljstrøm High Jarl of the Scagnar Isles [ The Field of Swords ] -Outside of Minus on a plot of land referred to as the Field of Swords where countless Trevian raiders were said to have met their ends during the final stages of the failed siege.

Surrounding the field are benches, braziers, tents and torches for the spectators of the different events as they occur...- says to Bejar BjorntandMember Of: Standing about 6’2, 221 lbs, with my left hand, I grab a northern shield that was slung over my left shoulder, 33” in diameter with metal rimmed edges and an 8” metal boss in the centre, held out from my body by about 8” covering most of my body from just below my shoulders to just above the knees.., My right hand grabs a northern goggles style helm to secure to my head, then reaches over my left shoulder to grip the handle of a long sword, blade of 32” in length, unsheathes and takes it out to place across me to my left, the point crossing to my left as it was also angled ay 45 degrees, slightly pointed out.

Standing around 11 feet from you, slightly left side on, crouched slightly, left foot in front of me, I circle slowly to my left in an clockwise direction. Northern Helm 33" Torv shield in left 32" long in right 9" knife on thigh 4" knife in boot Left lead 6'2, 221lbs Distance still about the same ---Round One--- (12:57:50 ) Bejar Bjorntand Member Of Minus High Council Commander Tharlarion Cavalry Citizen of Minus IC [ The Field of Swords ] -Outside of Minus on a plot of land referred to as the Field of Swords where countless Trevian raiders were said to have met their ends during the final stages of the failed siege. It is here a large monument commemorating the dead stands where combat training, spars, archery contests and other town events take place wind, rain or shine. Surrounding the field are benches, braziers, tents and torches for the spectators of the different events as they occur...- says to Jøna§ §iljstrømHigh Jarl: No sooner had you started to circle to your left would i give a mighty RAAAA! And charge towards you with quick steps in a 45 degree angle forward and to my right to comecharging in at your front/right side in an angle but with my front leading and my right side closest to you, as i was 5 feet away from you i would bring my sword across to my right infront of my shield at throat hight as i readid it for what would obviusly be a backhand strike towards your throat BUT! As my right foot planted befor me with only 3 feet away My left hand held sword would go Up and forward and hopefully over your head as i then tryed to pull my arm and sword straight down with my sword now hopefully over your head and past your right side to then with aa snapping motion of my wrist hack the sword from behind across to my right seeking to cut deeply into that of your right hip/to the lower back with enough power to bring you down His left side is forward...but in to 5 feet, reposition. Ok You go up and forward...then straight down...My issue here is...a couple. 1. You'd be coming down on his head with this description. 2. Your right foot is 3 feet from his left foot which essentially put the distance between your sword arm shoulder and your target at roughly 5 feet or more. This is quite confusing in general and I do not think you will be able to land this shot -1. ( 9 ) (13:05:58 ) Jøna§ §iljstrøm High Jarl of the Scagnar Isles [ The Field of Swords ] -Outside of Minus on a plot of land referred to as the Field of Swords where countless Trevian raiders were said to have met their ends during the final stages of the failed siege. It is here a large monument commemorating the dead stands where combat training, spars, archery contests and other town events take place wind, rain or shine. Surrounding the field are benches, braziers, tents and torches for the spectators of the different events as they occur...- says to Bejar BjorntandMember Of: As soon as you start to charge towards me, changing your angle towards me as you were nearing, your sword up high ready for an attack, lowering my shield by some 10 inches to provide space, my sword moves up a small arc my blade up and slightly across to my right my wrist is raised as the blade is angled up then straightens my elbow dropping the point down keeping the blade inside of your late attempt at to come over the top, the extended arm and my movement hopefully allowing me to swat your blade away to my left, then Then pushes further to my left trying to take your sword with me and try ot get to your right side while flicjing my blade dowm at your unprotected left arm Time violation by 8 secs -1 Essentially a flip and punch...this will work given the time he would need for the up and loop plus the telegraphing of the sword motion Arm is sort of pinned....ok ( 9 ) ---Round Two--- (13:14:29 ) Bejar Bjorntand Member Of Minus High Council Commander Tharlarion Cavalry Citizen of Minus IC [ The Field of Swords ] -Outside of Minus on a plot of land referred to as the Field of Swords where countless Trevian raiders were said to have met their ends during the final stages of the failed siege. It is here a large monument commemorating the dead stands where combat training, spars, archery contests and other town events take place wind, rain or shine. Surrounding the field are benches, braziers, tents and torches for the spectators of the different events as they occur...- says to Jøna§ §iljstrømHigh Jarl: I moved in a singel fluid motion. Moment i feelt steel on steel my atack blocked and redirected to your left. I would pivot sharply clockwise on my rear left foot as my left arm pulled down hard infront of me and as your sword came back towards me to hunt my left arm it was only meet by steel and wood as i swong my shield open to my right to thake your atack to the shielface.Ones my left arm had dropped under my shield arm and sword would have been pulled back to pass my left side. Having me end up facing you with my shield held out between me in a left foot lead distens some 6 feet now. With your sword still hopefully blocked across my shield I stepped hard forward on my right foot bringing it down 3 feet away as i gave a shield punch forward against your sword seeking to push it towards your high left as i then arched my sword forward and across to my right ones more hunting your right hip with a heavy strike Time violation -1 Problem here is your left arm is in front of your shield and he has his sword inside yours (his POV). Even with the pivot, there is no way your arm is going to outrun a sword flicking down at it and your shield is not in position to make this block. I see his strike landing as intended leaving your arm disabled at best and unable to continue. (13:21:16 ) Jøna§ §iljstrøm High Jarl of the Scagnar Isles [ The Field of Swords ] -Outside of Minus on a plot of land referred to as the Field of Swords where countless Trevian raiders were said to have met their ends during the final stages of the failed siege.

Surrounding the field are benches, braziers, tents and torches for the spectators of the different events as they occur...- says to Bejar BjorntandMember Of: With my attempt blocked I immediately pushed off my left foot back a full step to allow me to free my blade and give me some distance, hopefully the resulting shield punch from you in combination with my sword bringing brought back to my right, the shield is brought out a little, angled to my right and across to my right, therefore closing any opening your sword was seeking Making our distance about 4 feet after my step, I then step off my left foot to my right in an attempt to get to your left side, trying to take your sword with my shield and as my sword was freed from the earlier release, the blade, out to my right a little, is swept down and to my left with a quick flick of my wrist as I try to manouver the blade to hack behind your left leg if not both trying to take you out early ---Round Three--- (13:29:30 ) Bejar Bjorntand Member Of Minus High Council Commander Tharlarion Cavalry Citizen of Minus IC [ The Field of Swords ] -Outside of Minus on a plot of land referred to as the Field of Swords where countless Trevian raiders were said to have met their ends during the final stages of the failed siege.

Surrounding the field are benches, braziers, tents and torches for the spectators of the different events as they occur...- says to Jøna§ §iljstrømHigh Jarl: The heavy blow meet by your shield but anew i would move as one- Stepping forward on my left foot closing the distens to that of 2 feet as i at the same time would swiftly and firmly pull my sword DOWN and with the tip for the sand in a pendelum like motion have it pass my left side to then meet your arched cut in a block behind my left side. As my left side was doing this I would have snapped the face of shield skyward infront of me bringing it up infront of me and in between us at shoulder level Same moment my left foot came down with now only the 2 feet between us i would pivot HARD counterclockwise on my left foot as i saw to RAM the steel rim of my shield aimed for the left side of your throat/neck (13:36:40 ) Jøna§ §iljstrøm High Jarl of the Scagnar Isles [ The Field of Swords ] -Outside of Minus on a plot of land referred to as the Field of Swords where countless Trevian raiders were said to have met their ends during the final stages of the failed siege.

Surrounding the field are benches, braziers, tents and torches for the spectators of the different events as they occur...- says to Bejar BjorntandMember Of: Again I push off my left foot, but this time dropping my right knee almost to the ground not dropping the shield so much as I duck my head behind it, as I almost kneel to the ground as I felt it was better to finish this at a low level, thanking Odin as the action allowed me to duck under your shield attack to my throat area, then In combination of tilting my shield , bottom rim towards you at about 30 degrees, enough for me to view your legs from below your knees, my sword, which came down with my dropping down, is swept across to my left aiming for the blade to sweep under my shield and away from any impeding blockage as I attempt to hack into your left calf region and bring down the mighty Temwood tree posing as a Torvie to the ground and meet me at ground level ---Final Defense--- (13:44:53 ) Bejar Bjorntand Member Of Minus High Council Commander Tharlarion Cavalry Citizen of Minus IC [ The Field of Swords ] -Outside of Minus on a plot of land referred to as the Field of Swords where countless Trevian raiders were said to have met their ends during the final stages of the failed siege.

Aias vs Kalton 3 Rounds Prodigy Rules 10 minute time limit Erus to Judge -Stances- (14:22:43 ) Kalton Karios Torvie on Tour Captain of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Aias DemosCitizen of Min: * He moves to stand 10 foot from You , Kalton sttod 6^4 and around 250 pounds broard shoulders and narrow of hip , He worn no helmet and nor did He carry a sheild this day . in each hand He held a single bladed battle axe with a 8 inch blade and a 24 inch shaft , both had leathers cords loops around His wrists at the butt of the axe , left foot leading . left arm held out in front the ax laid flat , right hand held back the blade just above shoulder hight * 24" axe with 8" blade in each hand. 6'4, 250lbs Left lead Distance 10 feet (14:26:08 ) Aias Demos Citizen of Minus is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Kalton KariosTorvie on T: -y-slotted helm strapped security to my head, heavy leather thick soled boots on feet, strapped over my left arm was a slightly domed 36 inch warriors shield, the shield was strapped over my left arm with my left hand wrapped in the grip on the shields inner rim, I was comfortable with the distance you set, my left side was presented to you so that you would see the entirety of my shields face, my knees bent enough to have my shield cover from chin to knee along my left side, my right held short sword was currently hidden from your view behind my shields face, it was parallel to the ground at hip height with the sword tip pointed at your mid-section, evenly balanced, ready for your attack- Dual Wielding axes. I love it. Excellent choices. We did not discuss time, but if you are comfortable fighting with 10 minute rounds, then please by all means attack now. Y slot helm 36" shield on left Short sword in right, will say 20" Left lead Distance unchanged -Round One- (14:32:21 ) Kalton Karios Torvie on Tour Captain of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Aias DemosCitizen of Min: * Kalton stood and waited at your nod He moved in to motion . Moving around to Your left 8 foot 6 foot 4foot on the next step He attacked left axe swinging around to try and hook the far left rim of your sheild hoping to pull it out of postion , right axe coming in high chopping movment aiming at your left shoulder. He carried on the movemnt to your left stopping about 4 foot away * Hooking attempt is fine....brute force smash is ok too...but the post here is run together and you are not clear about the direction of the left axes movement...only real problem is distance, given you are at 4 feet and you have a 2 foot ish weapon. Let's see what he does.... ( 10 ) (14:38:41 ) Aias Demos Citizen of Minus is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Kalton KariosTorvie on T: -I was already in a left side lead towards you, with your right axe cocked back like that I was already well aware that hooking my shield would be an excellent tactic if permitted to play out, luckily I had no such intentions, as you closed distance towards me, I simply pulled my sheiled in tight against my body while sliding my left foot towards my right foot about six inches, in the process of doing so your left held axe would skitter accross shield face, while in the process of my slide step and shield movement, I would also pump my shield upward to meet your incoming right held axe, stopping it in its tracks- -I then snapped the inside rim of my shield towards your right pectoral muscle while slide stepping into you, simoltansouly closing distance to two feet maintaiing my left side lead while hopefully walling off your right held axe, my right held sword was in perfect position to simply thrust, clean hard and aimed directly at your dead center torso, looking to gut you on the spot, skewer you through the body and leave you dead at my feet- Motion is perfect....however, stopping a full blooded swing from an 8" axehead dead on, is a BAAAAD idea. You said warriors shield, so we are going with metal. A wooden one would have a split right now....saving grace is the distance he stated, thus the strike would have been lessened. Simple and brutal....would have like a shield strike though.... ( 10 ) -Round Two- (14:47:29 ) Kalton Karios Torvie on Tour Captain of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Aias DemosCitizen of Min: *I was still moving as You pumped Your sheild a glacing blow was all , Right axe was still high the left was free slashing aross your in coming sword , hooking the sword blade away to My left with the axe out to your left ................................... .....Right axe was left high and of no use the the left was blocking the stabbing short blade only one thing to do Right leg kicking out hard under your sheild aiming for you left knee before backign off 3 paces * His sword is going to be a lot quicker than your axe in terms of movement....a pivot would have helped here, but just the batting....no. Nasty gash as you deflect -1 Kick...ok ( 9 ) (14:55:11 ) Aias Demos Citizen of Minus is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Kalton KariosTorvie on T: -it was no thing to see you were about to try to kick my knee in with both our weapons currently occupied, and my shield being out of the way too, I did the most logial and effcient thing I could think of which was to simply bunny hop my left foot to my left about 8 inches while also pushing my left knee out, most likly having you miss my left knee all together, but at best a possible bruise- -the second my left foot hit the ground, I closed right along with you seeking to keep the distance at 2ish feet, my right hilt punched towards your face with my blade now pointed 90 degrees out to my right, the blade itself still possible entangled with your axe, but no matter that, the sword properly positioned I simply sliced it from my right to left at the level of your throat right at the shoulder, snapping the tip of the blade back behind your head as it hopefully cleared your axe, intending to cut your throat, decapitate you, all manner of horrible things, my blade would immediately stop though at your right shoulder- Yeah...light bruising -1 Nasty. ( 9 ) -Round Three- (15:03:47 ) Kalton Karios Torvie on Tour Captain of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Aias DemosCitizen of Min: * as I moved back it freed up My right axe from your sheild and that was brought slashing down stopping your blade inches from My flesh and with that He started to laugh enjoying the dance of death with the stranger He pivoited on his left foo tnow standing left side on to you facing your right side after the block .........................He left axe was still low from the last block and this time was free to attack swinign up and hard under your blocked sword aiming mid to high on your torso ribs hopefuly under your armpit if luckyand this time not backing off but stepping in hard after the blow * You really nee to be clearer about the direction of your axe rather than just stating down. Taking what you said at face value, the fight is over here with your neck being air conditioned and spouting scarlet like a fountain..... (15:10:44 ) Aias Demos Citizen of Minus is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Kalton KariosTorvie on T: -i knew my right side was open, which was part of why I had put the breaks on my sword in previous action, I executed two actions concurrently, I used the block of your axe on my sword to aid me as I rebounded my right held sword right off your axe, snapping it down with the tip whirling into a counter-clockwise arc (my point of view) while also leaping to my left, seeing to slam my sword into your left held axe haft so that I might slow it down, the jump giving my enough room to properly absorb any shock and protect my ribs from any harm- -and with that, my right held sword already positioned very well, and my movement to my left having given me a great vantage point, as I believed now we were truly closer to face to face, I executed two more movement, I made kissy lips at you, while I snapped my right held sword from low right against the inside of your axe to low left, looking to catch you on the outside of your left knee to put you down and out and end the fight, as I executed the move, I was sure to also thrust the sword towards you a little bit so it would be the mid-point of my blade hitting your left knee, not wanting you to simply be able to step away or into the attack without sustaining some sort of injury, hopefully- -Final Defense- (15:19:27 ) Kalton Karios Torvie on Tour Captain of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Aias DemosCitizen of Min: * He stepped in closer to the attack and cared not if He got cut , it was only blood . He stepped in to your attack early your blow hopfully losing a lot of the power behind it before it could build up momentium taking a small slice above his left knee .........As He had stepped in He rolling His right shoullder back around and then down and up bringing the right ax hopfully up and under your sheild aiming for a groin hit or upper inner thigh , the the attack He sprang back 2 steps and ready himself to meet you once more * =========== Result: Winner by killing blow - Aias ============ Comment: I quite liked this, and the axes were good. Obviously and old school fighter is Kalton, with the style and wording. I look forward to seeing you kicking ass soon. Aias...crisp and clinical as always, bit of brutality too....always good.

Trei vs Ollie Trei vs. Ollie Prodigy 3 Rounds 10 mins time limit Judge is Erus --- Stances --- (20:33:12 ) Ollie Olafson Courting Jof Probationary - Isle of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Trei Stonegate==] Rarius: Standing over 8ft tall, 400+lb's. A Y-slotted metal helm on my head. My shield was a 42" diameter round. Which included a steel 10" bose center. Edge of the shield had metal straps that ran around the edge. Riveted on these straps one could see the long strips of metal running length way in the middle of the shield and across top to bottom. Making a perfect cross pattern. The shield possitioned before me with a 45 degree angle to the left. My left arm making a perfect 'L' with my shoulderblade. My right hand flashed to the waist to draw the long sword from the left sheath of mine. Eyes as cold as ice stared onwards as the very sharp blade was slid free. Clutched in my right hand was my pommel a pear shaped type T, 2.36" length. The grip was 6.30" with a hexigonal cross section. A Long Sword 39.37" in total length with a blade length of 33.07". The point of balance of this blade 4.52" from crossgaurd. The blade tip was facing to my left held above my head the pommel of which placed to the right. Horrizontal with the top of the shield of mine. I had the blades edge facing towards the sky, with a slight angle as was comfortable to my posture. The blade was above the helm. My arm was in a perfect 'L' to that of my shoulder. Feet were pressed apart the tip of the right foot was pointed to my opponent. My left was slightly behind the plane of my torso with a comfortable horse ridding stance knee's slightly bent position. I glanced towards the main hall a crooked grin playing along my featured face. I stood 20ft from the man I would face. Y slot helm 42" round on left 33" long in right 8', 400lbs Distance 20 feet (20:33:31 ) Trei Stonegate ==] Rarius [== Minus | IC is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Ollie Olafson Courting J: ~Chuckles at the generous line and heads out into the sands, being sure to give the current fight a wide berth, The simple y-slot steel helm was retrieved from it's strap over my shoulder and settled on a yet undented head, the 30" diameter roundshield then shrugged over my left shoulder, it's inner handle gripped in a large left hand...With that, my right hand pulled free the 32" longsword from the left hip's scabbard, a remnant of learning much of fighting while in your same Isle...I stood there, 10 paces from you in a slight left lead, the shield held at chest level and forward a bit, my right hand in front of my right hip while gripping the sword hilt, the blade tip pointed straight for your chest, at the moment~ Y slot helm 30" shield in left 32" long in right Distance opened to 30 feet --- Round 1 --- (20:40:12 ) Trei Stonegate ==] Rarius [== Minus | IC is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Ollie Olafson Courting J: ~Eyed you from the distance, a large man indeed with a shield to match...After a moment of deliberation, I launched forward in a sprint straight towards you, and when my right foot landed at 8 feet, it pushed me off to my left your right to attempt to come around your right side, my right arm ripping down and to my right as I landed 3 feet distant to your right front, the slash of my sword aiming to cut across the outside of your right calf and carry through, my right hand continuing the motion fully as left side rotated forward~ Ok...but you need to separate your post ( 10 ) (20:46:59 ) Ollie Olafson Courting Jof Probationary - Isle of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Trei Stonegate==] Rarius: The movement was just as quick having seen your run. I knew where you would go, Padi tried this move a bit ago. I pivoted with the left foot. Taking little time to do so drawing the right side of my body behind my left foot, actually 10 degree's further than that. In doing so, the left shield of course would come crashing down angling against my shoulder and your torso... and head to your right side. My own sword slicing downwards knowing your kneel had to take you to my right side, as you were trying to get at my calf. This lead to two things indeed. One was that your pommel I was hopping to mid sword was caught along the edge of my sheild aimed at your throat and along that of your right side of the body. My right sword swept downwards to clash against your own sword. Pushing it away I was hopping before it made any contact with my body. That of the tip of my sword aiming down and to my right along the edge of my shield bottom as I used the shield sending sparks to crash out at the side of your own blade and aim it back at you and away from me. The pommel of which was aimed to the sky. The hit of course to you was the shield bash to your side and head that was originally stated above. The idea was to send your body crashing to the ground and perhaps end this fight before it ever began knowing how much force my weight and momentum would put to your body. Ok, he has one section and you have 3....there was no mention of sharing! Pivot...ok, not enough I don't think....and what kneel are we referring to here? Not sure if that first defense is your defense or the 2nd one is....unless they are all one part which then makes it a VERY busy defense post. The general gist here is that you are sweeping the sword acros and then trying to bash him with the shield....I'm going to let it go and see how the rest of the fight flows, but will come back and nitpick this more if needs be. Taking a point for being a longwinded confusing bastard! -1 ( 9 ) --- Round 2 --- (20:53:55 ) Trei Stonegate ==] Rarius [== Minus | IC is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Ollie Olafson Courting J: ~I was smart enough to not get into a shield bash war with a true northerner, as much as I generally enjoyed them. As your shield rotated and pushed forward, I quickly stepped to my left to get away from the initial push, and then a step forward to take away the angle of it's bash, coming around in front of you while doing so and leaving my right arm with it's downward pointing sword in that area to help screen off your sword and shield as I~ ~Tilted my shield horizontal and punched it forward, aiming to slam the wide rim into the right side of your belly and ribs, hopefully to knock the wind out of you, moving with the momentum of the punch, my feet continuing that path~ Glad you knew what he was doing....and yes, this will deflect adequately Circle and punch...ok ( 10 ) (21:01:56 ) Ollie Olafson Courting Jof Probationary - Isle of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Trei Stonegate==] Rarius: The shield of your's comming down on my front as I continued to make a pivot on the left foot. The momentum of course was nice going in a full circle. Lets go around the merrygo round. I pulled the shield inwards to your side as you of course were still going at my right side. Going to try and get around that shield. The good point is, that you didn't seem to 'bend lower', so in essence I'm assuming you were trying to raise your shield up? Again a guess here. Which would mean the side of my shield would slam against the edge of your shield, or perhaps that of your boss center as I continued to move in the same path I had started. With this said and done, I of course would do what any northener would do. I would take your hit to that of my chest and ribs... but lessoning it with the movement of my own shield and pivot of my foot. This also meant that your shield was now busy with other things. This sent me a bit backwards as I skidded on my foot. Giving us 3 feet between us by our own momentum and your hit I took. I then twisted the sword of mine so the tip of which was now going down to where your center mass was located. Having not pulled our swords totally out of the way, just enough to avoid your original blow. In doing so, I would weasle the sworld tip around the bottom edge of my shield and hopefully catch that of your exposed leg and inner thigh in the slicing down I was attempting. Accepting a blow like this is a dangerous move, but given your movement...and lots of wording, along with your ample size....ok. Bruised ribs -1 Workable I guess ( 8 ) --- Round 3 --- (21:08:22 ) Trei Stonegate ==] Rarius [== Minus | IC is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Ollie Olafson Courting J: ~My sword had been pointing it's tip downward and screening my right side, so was in good position as you tried to sneak your sword blade across, thrusting the tip of my blade downward and inside to catch your edge and push against it, stopping it's momentum enough as I pivoted on my left foot, bringing my right foot back and right side out of the way as your blade carried out past my right side~ ~I then thrust the upward facing shield upward, aiming to slam it into the underside elbow of your extended shield arm and hopefully limit it's ability~ Works Can't see this working really given his sword arm would be in the way -1 ( 9 ) (21:14:15 ) Ollie Olafson Courting Jof Probationary - Isle of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Trei Stonegate==] Rarius: Who said we should have used that of doors? I DID!.. as damnit our shield were in a way being used like doors. Now what I did next was totall un-othodox. I Pivoted there on my right foot and as I did so, this would mean the whole left side of my body was being taken away from his inner strike upwards to that of my shield arm. It also put my back to him. Which was VERY dangerous but I needed this to do only one thing and one thing only. A complete 360 degree pivot was the momentum I was attemping. Now you may ask yourself why was this important as my sword was to his right side. Well you see that's what you may have missed. The sword tip was down to his right, the sword... POMMEL though was to his side which I'm assuming is nice and open if I'm reading this right. So I slammed that of the sword pommel/fist forewards now using that of the pommel like a set of iron knuckles trying to slam them into his exposed, or what I was hopping would be his exposed side right at his waist. Yup, driving it downwards and to his right... in hopes of driving the whole hit foreward and through his side to his leg. The sword tip of mine going to my left and harmlessly to my side was the idea. NOT to be aimed at my body in any way or manor. I've not seen a full 360 since I did it....a LONG time ago.... I like it....BUT....it takes a while to spin your big ole self around, and, you don't state the exact target here...for me, it makes sense you'd be aiming at his left side with this shot because of the direction you spun, but the way you worded it makes it sound like you are aiming for his right side -1. ( 7 ) --- Final Defense --- (21:19:16 ) Trei Stonegate ==] Rarius [== Minus | IC is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to Ollie Olafson Courting J: ~Like a dainty ballerina you spun, almost transfixed on this if not for the wounding you were attempting on my innocent form...I had to react quick and did the only thing I could to minimize the blow, jerking my right hip and side back and to my left so that they would retreat away from the attack and would merely be thunked good, but not take the damage of the followthrough, ending the motion by jogging a few paces backwards from my position to catch my breath~ Ok, so you see it as an attack at the right side....can really only deduct for the injury accepted even though the defense is sound. -1 ====================== Result: Ollie - 7 bruised ribs Trei - 8 mild bruising Winner - Trei ====================== Comments: This was an interesting fight albeit mildly confusing at times. Ollie, some of your ideas are gold and if you managed to word them how you see them in your head, you would be a very hard man to beat in a spar....I look forward to seeing it! Trei, clean and crisp with a touch of humour and brutality....everything a good spar needs! Any comments, feel free My thanks Erus |

Cimber The Sleeping Dragon Minus|IC is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to >>-Arrow of the Aesir->T: ...feet had come to rest on the sands of the stadium and I wore a Y Slot Helm that was craft of iron so that it was durable but lined with fur so that it remained comfortable to wear, I regarded Thorarin from beneath its cover. A Common Round Shield was worn over my left arm, the shield was three feet in total diameter and covered me from my shoulder to over my knee after I lowered the center of balance that I maintained, I could see over it highest rim effortlessly. In my right hand was a Spear which measured a total of seven feet in length and ended with a fifteen inch, bronze, leaf shaped head; I held the spear over my right shoulder, underhand grip and held it near the mid shaft so that the head extended towards my opponent and aimed towards his center mass. On my right hip was a Scimitar, thirty-six inches in length with an eight inch false edge, the hilt had been wrapped in leather for a more capable hold when it was taken. Nodding once I had taken my stance, regarding Thorarin from across a distance which I maintained at fifteen feet, I would notice how he circled to my left and turned likewise so that I could continue to keep him square with me... Y slot helm 36" shield on left 7' Spear in right 36" scim on hip Distance unchanged --- Round 1 --- (20:27:15 ) >>-Arrow of the Aesir-> Thorarin Bloodaxe Commander of the Jomsvikingr Isle of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to . Administrator of Minus: grins as you turn with me as I circle you, then the smile evaporates ....I carefully note your size and weapons, how they're held, and your position and distance.... particularly interested in your spear and shield..... then I bellow, "JOMSVIKINGR! MARAUDERS OF THE ISLES!" as I find my angle and charge at a dead run slightly off center of your middle to my left, I close to attack range (5 feet).... the spear blade centered on your waist the split second that I arrive at attack range my spear point darts down and to my left and I crouch slightly with my right foot slightly ahead of my left foot, my thighs going parallel to the ground, simultaneously I thrust the point at your right foot in a jab-like motion, by crouching and extending my right arm, I give myself the range to attack your right foot at the top of the instep .....the spear point is easily sharp enough to cut completely thru your boot and foot.... as the jab is completed, I retract the spear until my right fist is roughly a foot to my right of my waist Ok, 5 feet Workable ( 10 ) (20:33:35 ) . Administrator of Minus . Cimber The Sleeping Dragon Minus|IC is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to >>-Arrow of the Aesir->T: ...as Thorarin rushes ahead to cross the distance between us I turn to ensure I am completely square with him and then as he makes the five foot distance and begins to crouch I would notice the motions of his arm, the angle of his spear and begin to slide my right foot backwards hard so that his attack would stab into nothing but the sands. As I did this my right leg would also bend allowing me to likewise fall into a crouch on my right knee and my shield would hammer down to cover the escape of my foot and present its face to Thorarin's spear... ...then my spear, still raised over my right shoulder would thrust forward with an extension of the right arm aiming to come over the top rim of Thorarin's shield and aiming to strike at his center face... I don't like that you only notice the motion of his arm before acting....he is as 5 feet, 4 feet of spear in front of his hand....I see you sliding out of major damage, but you are getting cut as you slide and block -1 Clean ( 9 ) --- Round 2 --- (20:42:09 ) >>-Arrow of the Aesir-> Thorarin Bloodaxe Commander of the Jomsvikingr Isle of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to . Administrator of Minus: seeing your spear hurtling toward my head, I raise my shield and move it to a 45 degree angle and directly into the path of your spear thrust, the edge of my shield nearest Cimber would be the low edge and the the upper edge would be over my head, I still have clear vision of you since you went to kneel on your right knee ..... your spear strikes the lower 1/3 of the face of my shield, hoping your spear glances over my head stepping forward, wanting to end the fight right here, my own spear head is just a bit lower than the height of Cimber's arm..... I whip my arm, upward and to my left, targeting Cimbers right forearm with the razor sharp edge of the spear blade, trying to slash deep into the muscle and bone and render the arm useless ..... my elbow actually moves back a bit to make sure that I can bring the spear edge into the target area Again, same as his...if you've noticed the motion, you're too late at this distance...taking a thwach to the front top of the helm and making your ears ring -1 Stepping in more puts this at really close quarters 2 feet at best....not going to hit with the blade, might bruise him with the shaft though -1 ( 8 ) (20:48:05 ) . Administrator of Minus . Cimber The Sleeping Dragon Minus|IC is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to >>-Arrow of the Aesir->T: [Counterattack] ...digging the ball of my right foot into the sand after it had slid back when I fell into a crouch I would tense the leg muscles and use it to propel me forward across the distance separating us as Thorarin began to rip his arm upwards and to his left intending to have his spear cross between us and cut into the underside and forearm of my right arm. Launching forward, my shield leading the way, I would use my shield to both sandwich his spear backwards between us as it sought my arm and, at the same time, crush my shield forward against his own, raised over his head, to unbalance and toss him onto his backside... Clean and given he stepped in, this will be interesting ( 9 ) --- Round 3 --- (20:56:57 ) >>-Arrow of the Aesir-> Thorarin Bloodaxe Commander of the Jomsvikingr Isle of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to . Administrator of Minus: ((I'm not sure what Prodigy call for after a non-lethal counter, so I'm going to honor your post in the best spirit of Gorean RP and go from there.)) my eyes widen as I see you springing forward, in that split second I am moving slide stepping to my right, circling and staying at this close range .... my shield quickly lowering, but not fast enough, my spear is partially caught between my chest and Cimber's shield ..... as I move to my right the spear is freed I whip the point of my spear (starting somewhere to my left after being pinned, downward and to my right ..... striking with the spear point at Cimber's right foot (again), trying to drive the spear point thru the top of Cimber's foot, boot and then completely thru the foot.... my elbow and shoulder trying to flex to give me room for the strike..... despite my best efforts the strike is a weak one With your shield raised a bit, I doubt you'd see this coming much....not to mention the distance he had to push is the equvalent of a half sucked bees dick....another conk to the noggin from your shield as you avoid major damage with the movement -1 Would be a slice, not a stab....but a good effort and nicely played along....you are indeed an honorable chap. ( 7 ) (21:05:50 ) . Administrator of Minus . Cimber The Sleeping Dragon Minus|IC is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to >>-Arrow of the Aesir->T: ...my Shield would have been sandwiched forward, against Thorarin or his shield I know not, however as the pressure begins to subside and Thorarin moved to his right I would have shuffled that was as well to keep square with him and ensure the distance was relative inches at most. At this range it would be no issue to see the shaft of his spear moving, its tip had previously been taken to my right so I could only assume it was still there, and as Thorarin attempted to bring it around I would slide my right foot backwards again in an effort to avoid a downwards thrust made by his spear while scraping my shield right, mpov, in a hope the its inner, right most, rim might push the spear away or deflect its blow back across Thorarin's body via a press to the shaft... ...then I would crush my left foot forward hoping to stomp onto Thorarin's foot hard while simultaneously giving a heavy outwards pump of my left arm with the intention of pushing Throarin away from me and hopefully unbalancing him enough to throw him onto his back... Ok Almost a simultaneous attack....but one is a push rather than an attack....pedantic.... ( 9 ) --- Final Defense --- (21:11:24 ) >>-Arrow of the Aesir-> Thorarin Bloodaxe Commander of the Jomsvikingr Isle of Scagnar is in the sands of the stadium participating in a spectacle observed by the cheering crowds above... [ The Stadium of Spectacles ] says to . Administrator of Minus: scowls as this distance was untenable for a spear, I begin to move backward from you at three feet from you, your foot lands about a foot from my left foot I am finally able to complete pulling my shield down with my left fist near my waist, then I feel your left arm (shield) thud into my shield helping me moving back ..... ok ( 7 ) ==================== Result: Cimber - 9 bleeding foot Thorarin - 7 ears ringing...twice. Winner - Cimber =================== Comments: This could have been epic if the distance was kept at a more spear friendly distance....once you cramped up, they were out of play pretty much. Good fight. Any comments, feel free My thanks Erus |
