I stand at 6ft 4ins, weighing in at 240 pounds, upon my head is a typical Y slotted helm...I offer up my right side towards you, my left foot is half a pace behind me and turned outwards a little to lend balance and support, my right foot a little forwards with both knees slightly bent...My 3ft wooden round shield typical Torvie design, slatted wood, held together with iron banding and a rounded metal boss in the middle, is strapped to my right arm and covers from my chin to upper thigh...A 21inch short sword sits comfortably in its tharlarion hide finely crafted sheath upon my back, the hilt raised a little above my right shoulder for accessibility. The haft of a 2ft 6in axe is held in my left hand, the bearded axe head is 6ins wide and is steel moulded over an iron base and is razor sharp. My left elbow is held close to my body, angled slightly backwards, my inner left lower arm is facing my body, wrist bent backwards as axe is firmly gripped in left hand, the length of the axe is horizontal to the ground, the blade facing the heavens. I see the distance between us then thinking I need to be closer so I move 3 paces towards you to be within 3ft distance (mpov) from you, repositioning myself back into my right leading stance…

: says to Pelagon MacBain Blood Br:.... Seeing to the way you move inwards , as you move inwards I move back , stepping back with that of My leading foot left an then right following taking the distance back to what seems to be 10ft, thus moving on from here as I had stopped an back in the formal stance that I was previously within, draggign that of the whips kiss into the sands of the pit , doing such will give the opperturned moment for such things to have the sands work their way itno the leather of the whip which in fact with the metal chips an bindings an now plus sand will rip at the flesh of the Gorean Man. Pulling that of My right arm back further liftign that of the whip up
Sending the whip back an then stepping forward at teh same time with My right foot an pushing My right arm an shoulder forward sending the whips end in at the speeds of two passangs per ihn , aiming for that of the jugular or adam's apple since you did not have a conical on as I could see so the protection chains would not be there , snapping My right arm back hard when you hear the loud CRACK of the whip known 90% of the slaves woudl quiver in the camp an hearing such means the sound barrier was just broke an Maybe I hit My target , pulling My body back at teh same time as I turn My left back facing you
Moves back just over 3 paces making it just over 4 paces, yea yea yea I see the whip, could have brought the whip back in the first section to get the flick going prior to an attack as this I see as giving them more time to watch you and know your about to do a strike. …Clean enough
2 passangs an ihn….could have just said lightning speed as some may not know what you are talking about, believe it or not some fighters have not read the books. Jugular, there they run both sides of the neck and adam’s apple is in the middle so I assume you are going for a gen neck shot. Take care on the wording as I had to read this a few times with the ‘turning My left back facing you’ You either turn your left back of turn your right back so your left is facing, see? Good….Clean enough but a bit wordy about the slaves and sound barrier and getting close to losing a point for lack of clarity. Am being nice today, Kinda.

: says to ••†Dia•de•Los•Muertos†••:.... Counter Attack: As you start moving backwards I rush towards you to keep the distance to within 3ft at the same time I let my axe swoop from its position close to my body, sweeping in a left to right clockwise arc towards your hand holding your whip hoping that as the razor sharp blade bites into your right wrist that your hand will be severed from the rest of your body….
Covering 3 paces before He could pull the whip back and fire a shot off, Hmm am okay with that. Sweeping attack at a hand is rather specific and I would of suggested hacking His shoulder as the whip comes up and use your axe shaft length as a hand can move rather quickly but clean, lets see.

: says to Pelagon MacBain Blood Br:.... Seeign to the fact I've seen this done before ; it was like deja vu for me , as your rushing it , I don't turn tail an run , I swoop that of My left held sheild from left to right clashing with that of your strike to My sheild your axe blade sinking into the face of My sheild , yes the thunk and momentum would put me off balance just a little bit , an it does push Me back , you might not think you hit so hard but yet again you might give yourself props for doing so an thats what I wanted you to think within such a drastic move , stumbling back 4ft takign the close encounter from maybe a foot an a half to 5-6ft away , doing so I relenquish an position My right arm high in the air swinging the whips face aroudn the whistling of the snakewhips bindigns most likly could be heard like that of a song in waiting
briing that of My right arm over that of My left shoulder as I move it in a slashing motion from a left to to right movement hoping that the coils of the whip get behind that of your axe an sheild an snapping My right wrist to the left an back to the right an then back to the left all in one motion causing the reaction of the coils of the whip to CRACK!!! in the alraming stature of maybe slicing across just below the V of your neck to inner chest area as I pull back an push My sheild up in front of Me again
Who’s left to right –1 for lack of clarity but yeah I can see that coming over for a quick cover, if you say that you could see him coming in and pulled as he did it gives you more time. Also moving your body in the opposite direction of your shield to cover makes that cover even quicker for future. Distance now 2 paces, say 5 or say 6 not both.
Who’s left to right on the whip? –1 for lack of clarity. I can see what you are trying to do in a over head whip whirlwind attack and puts you in a crappy position to get at his chest, you would have been better at trying to open his back like a ripe mellon, You have a 8 foot whip and he is 6 feet away from you, see? Clumsy but clean

: says to ••†Dia•de•Los•Muertos†••:.... my axe having its attacked stopped by your shield, I wont let you get any distance between us so as you start moving backwards I pull my axe off to my left side then again move towards you matching step for step and when I get back to within 3ft of you I swing my shield from my right to my left towards the whip, just in front of you hand attempting to knock your whip off to your right with the left rim of my shield
Simultaneously I am slashing my axe leftways to position it off to my left and high, then with the speed of light it instantly flashs towards my right toward the right side of your neck hoping that as the razor sharp blade penetrates your body your neck will be mutilated if not severed
That’s a shitty block for a whip and may work on a sword but a whip is fluid and does not work from the wrist like a static weapon, so the move would not stop because you block the wrist and I see him striking out in that crappy clumsy attack of the front whip whirlwind attack and hitting your back right shoulder, given the lack of power that this would have from the block and the way he struck I see you cut but nothing that a salve and slave won’t put right and nothing that would stop a Torv fighting on.
Axe left ways, who’s left? –1 lack of clarity, yes you clear it up later in the sentence but seems to be a running theme of slackness. Easy on the description of what you ‘hope’ it is going to do.
(9) cut to back of right shoulder

: says to Pelagon MacBain Blood Br:.... Well now I should of expected this but I didn't , seeing you following me in Tow , and Just as I stop an you get within range I drop the whip , at the same time I push My sheild within its left held position up an out about 8" , reaching My right arm over within step an pull out that of My 24" gladius from its holster , slipping it beneath the rim of My sheild off to the right side ,
Trying to use Me as a pinyata isn't really gonna flow as I can feel each of your strikes of the face of My sheild as I charge forward an close the distance from 3ft to 1.5ft an thrusting My right arm forward trying to impale you upon that of the tip of My blade , in hopes to get by the inner rim of your sheild to have the blade enter the focus point of the 6th an 7th rib in hopes to puncture true an an make you fully immobile , pulling my left arm back in in hopes to have it cover My front of my Torso
Okay scratch the injury as the whip gets dropped! Then the block then the sword free and off to THE right? –1 who’s right lack of clarity.
All that while in a close proximity clash….I don’t buy it and had it checked by the best there is and he never bought it either. –1 for unrealistic
With the wording of the shield work to block the blow your going for a stop of the axe to the neck and never mention it, it reads as messy and confused –1 for lack of clarity.

Pelagon no injuries as the whip was dropped in the next post.
Comments, advice and feed back.
Drowin - You need to work on Point of View description to let the other fighter and the judge know what you are doing. THE right means nothing as the positions are reversed from the others perspective. Not that bad a fight but keep it realistic in what you could do in a fight and what is overly busy in close combat. You lost this not on the fact that Pel got to kill you but the fact that you ended it yourself in errors.
Pelagon – Your getting better but you are not thinking about the fight and the physical ability of the Gorean body, Your counter strike could have gone bad for you and all you had to do to stop that whip was break his wrist with your shield as he lifted his arm and then took the time to swing it around. Counter is quick and the action stops the blow and is an attack at the same time, not a block then an attack even when the attack is at the same time as the block.
Well done Fighters and good luck in future matches.
