(16:31:19 ) Tel'an The Sandshark [ stands ] observing the fight from the stands says to Captain Joe MacBainCompa: -move down along the stands and began to jog through the large tunnel as I came out into the sands of the arena the crowd roars stamping their feet into the stands.- TEL’AN WILL ROCK YOU.. -I pull the Yhelm down upon my head and fasten its strap beneath my chin, upon my left arm is the 3’ warrior shield, its curved face covering from shoulder to mid thigh the inside rim covering my right side chest yet allowed enough room for the 3’ saber clenched within my right hand, the distance ten feet, the sun shun down upon the Brass Yhelm and sparkled lightly.- ready when you are.

HOUSE OF DESPOILER [ in the sands ] says to Tel'an The Sandshark: -He just smiled and popped on the old Y visor and left the strap flapping....never was very bright...His left arm gripped the 36" torv plate wood shield by the handle and pulled it on the left flank from shoulder to left thigh as He shifted to place the left leg forward some at shoulder width ...the right hand pulled out the Torv long sword and drew His huge right arm up so the mid section of the blade rested on the right shoulder the point facing behind Him as He noted the distance and it never made much odds to Him as You would close enough soon enough and He nodded as His closed His eyes briefly and thought of Nyah and Thor both feeding Him power and devotion of spirit and body...He calm centered and complete ....the blue eyes of the Torv open- A MAN OF TORVALDSLAND IS UPON YOU!!

Round One
(16:41:45 ) Tel'an The Sandshark [ sands ] is down in the fighting pit says to Captain Joe MacBainCompa: I will show you pain like nothing you have felt.-I cried as I began to smoothly close the distance, seeing the shield in your left and the long sword in your right, with your left side slightly forward leading with that large shield of yours, I angled my advancement to my right your left slightly taking advantage of your stance as I come within arms reach of your left side.-
-now within arms reach, I pump my shield forward and over to my right, trying to catch the outside portion of my shield against your own as I bring my shield back over to my left in attempt to drag your shield across your body to your right side opening your left side, I then stroke my saber forward and downward to my left in attempt to curl my saber around the back of your left calf muscle and remove your leg out from under you, then smoothly brought my shield back into my left side to better defend.-
counter - ok
reaction - too many actions to push the sheild forward and right to get that outside edge in place, then it's sweep to your left, then the sword attack, then resetting the shield. The shield gets disengaged but not moved back completely. -1
(16:47:33 ) Captain Joe MacBain Companion to Lady Nyah The Steading GRP
HOUSE OF DESPOILER [ in the sands ] says to Tel'an The Sandshark: not a hope in hell as He watched You come in and turned on the ball of the left foot to send the left shoulder back and keep You on right ahead of Me as the shield pump came in He moved the shield on His left side in towards His body so Ya shield swip now skits over the shield edge and not pulling it as it then would move over the face as I see it..The angle change and as He drives the right swoprd from the sounder down and across to cut over His own body and to get the inside odge of the saber at the leg level to hold the blade off but not enought power with that move to parry
at this postion He did not like it and pulled back hard with the right shoulder to use the strong chest muscles to cleave the right low blade I hope inside your blade to pull the low edge up on a diagonal to My upper right as I aim to hack at Your own left leg at the shin and either take it off or brake the two lower leg bones and some waist in the follow out
counter - are you pivoting your left side back? if so, it's the right foot that turns. But it doesn't matter much. You stated the longsword as simply laying back against your right shoulder. So to defend this it would have to come down, turn the point downwards in a parrying position, and then wait for his shield to clear as you made no description of getting around it. So i don't see the sword getting there in time even with the pivot. The shield does not reach down enough to defend an attack at the calf. Joe's left leg below the knee is lopped off with the strength of the blow. Will continue on the spar and make notes.
reaction - clean but you are inside his blade and could do much more damaging blows. Put as many of his body parts in the path of your sword as possible.
Round Two
(16:53:23 ) Tel'an The Sandshark [ sands ] is down in the fighting pit says to Captain Joe MacBainCompa: -with my saber now against the outside of your sword, and my shield in close to my left, I saw the movement of your long sword as it began that stroke, I crouch low while fluently driving my shield out to my left and forward, trying to slam my shields outer portion into the inside of your long sword in attempt to parry it out wide to my left side away from me, and smoothly rose from my feet so that I may stand head on with you.-
-with your sword now low to my left against the outer portion of my shield, and my sword low to my right, I circle my saber to my rear rear and around and down over my right shoulder, allowing the tip of the saber to lead the way in order to drive the tip of my saber into the top of your left collar bone, but at the last moment changed the direction of the shows flow outwards and down circling it back toward my left in attempt to bring my saber around the outer portion of your left and wrap around the left side of your body to snap my sabers blade into the back of your left hip.-
counter - his sword is across his body, so moving your shield like that is actually opening you up to it's attack
reaction - oh man i can see this attack drawn like one of those family circus cartoons with the trail behind it. It works but is a very long attack.
(16:59:10 ) Captain Joe MacBain Companion to Lady Nyah The Steading GRP
HOUSE OF DESPOILER [ in the sands ] says to Tel'an The Sandshark: It was a good move and He grinned and just stepped the left leg back and brought Himself back a half pace and gave the room the shield now needed and took away the distance the you needed to wrap a shot as the left shield was just pushed out to My left a little to take the blade on the rim as He had seen Kurzon do that not long ago and watched the shoulders as well as the blade to give the direction of the steel as You smah in the rim on the outter left side past My eblow like a shunt of the left arm
The right blade low and the leg change pulls the blade away from Your shield as I do not do a faint but go for raw Torv power to see if You can hold a full swing at this range and clubs the sword from the low right MY POV to heave it up and over the rim of Your shield to try and cut at the mid level of Ya helmet and cut Your head and helmet in twain and send My blade over to My now high to mid level right side..
counter - good defense of wrap-around
reaction - ok
Round Three
(17:03:53 ) Tel'an The Sandshark [ sands ] is down in the fighting pit says to Captain Joe MacBainCompa: -I saw that large stroke, and rose my shield upwards while bending on my knees so that the long sword would come into the face of my shield evenly across its face, I grunt as my left arm felt the power of the blow as did the shield, but I did not allow it to make me stop in my attacks upon you.-
-with your long sword against the face of my raised shield, and your right side now leading, I swung the inside rim of my shield outwards to my left so that I may push your sword out to my left away from me, while at the same time I thrust my saber upward and to my left, trying to impale the 3’ blade through your right side ribs in a right to left thrust.-
counter - good
reaction - nice attack
(17:08:31 ) Captain Joe MacBain Companion to Lady Nyah The Steading GRP
HOUSE OF DESPOILER [ in the sands ] says to Tel'an The Sandshark: -He grunted at the stop of the blow and dropped the right leg back immeadiatley to cover back His right side as He pushed the shield now over to His right and twisted very slightly at the waist to shunt the shield over and left the sword score over the face as the curve of the saber cuts a cunk out
My sword was hold on You left side on the face and just what I wanted so you could no longer see the blade at the stroke moment and flashed the blade down and over to My left in a low powerful sweep to try and hack at the left knee hopes to splinter the knee cap and perhaps dig the blade half way in to the bone and tendons in Ya left knee keeping the power on
counter - a close defense but would say it worked. You stated as only moving your shield out to the left a little bit so the big shield would still be covering your center gut.
reaction - ok
Round Four
(17:15:13 ) Tel'an The Sandshark [ sands ]is down in the fighting pit says to Captain Joe MacBainCompa: -A smile caressed my lips as I felt your sword scrape across the face of my shield as you lower it to began that stroke once more, I dropped my left knee downwards using my own weight to aid in the speed I fall upon my knee while in fluent movement brought my shield into my outer left side so that your long sword would again rip into the face of my poor shield saving my knee now tucked behind it.-
-with your sword now against the face of my shield, and my sword before from in front of your right side ribs, I push up from my left knee and close in toward you pulling my saber down and outwards so that I did not get tangled between us as I come in teo to teo with you. Once in close, I cricle my saber around to my right rear and around and over my right shoulder, only this time allowed the hilt of the saber to head the way the tip of the blade vertically upward, trying to slam the hilt into the top portion of your shield and drive it low enough to then rotate my wrist so that the blade came down horizontally the tip to my left as I pull the blade outward to my right in attempt to slice across your throat.-
counter - clean, your shield was almost to your knee already.
reaction - well it's a very cool attack, not sure how effective but can see what you are doing.
(17:20:14 ) Captain Joe MacBain Companion to Lady Nyah The Steading GRP HOUSE OF DESPOILER [ in the sands ] says to Tel'an The Sandshark: -He could see You come up of course and see the windmill move for some time and just stepped right in closer to press the left shield into Your armpit and run the upper rim up the right tricep of Yours to effectivly lock You right eblow out before You pick up speed and tries to hold the arm there being bigger and stronger
so close I could tell what toothpaste You use...NONE!! and My blade low and You came up and brought the shield I left the sword low and just right wrist flick to send the tip and steel shaft inbetween Y aopen legs and.....rips the right held blade up and out to My right to try and cut into the right side of Your grion on the cross and drag and take Your entire pack and kit off as well as slice open the inner groin...
counter - hmmmm i'm not sure you want this kind of defense keeping you from getting your throat slit. If this were the deciding blow, i would have to think long and hard on it. My gut reaction is that it would result in a slash along you upper chest since his wrist can still rotate the sword around, but not a cut throat.
reaction - if the sword is going between his legs as he closes in, you need to set that up in the counter.
Defence
(17:23:45 ) Tel'an The Sandshark [ sands ] is down in the fighting pit says to Captain Joe MacBainCompa: -I smiled and step backwards on my left foot driving my shield around from my outer left side to right so that the shield would come to cover from hip to hip of my frame and allow your sword to tangle with the shields face, and now I don’t want to play, my family jaws are most important to me, bottom lip trembling.- you tried to cut off my balls.. Bastard! But good fight.. I don’t think I can carry on I’m tired as hell now.. -lol-
Tel'an is the winner with a disabling blow.
