says to ··J · ä · ð · ë · ð·· : 7’2” and 380lbs of Torvaldian farmer walked in the sands and I looked over from under a Y visor type helmet, secure under the chin with the leather strap…..I had in My right hand a long sword of 3 feet and the right hand at the right hip with the blade forward at 45 angle so the tip was looking at Your chest …..in My left was a 36inch round shield of the North, plate wood, metal boss and steel wrapped edge…it was pulled over and close, about 8 inches from My body as I held the handle not the strap….My left leg leads as My right leg trials back at shoulder width and the right foot turns out for balance…My left side leading so the shield covers from chin to thigh and covers out from left to right side with Me behind it smiling..the long sword striking out the right rim edge (My pov) as I nod, happy to leave the distance as is at 2 (two) paces- COME GET SOME TORVY MEAT!

says to Joe MacBain Companion of: [ Fucking A 7 feet! God damn…note to self…pick smaller people to kick your ass. ] I noted your weapons and carefully made my approach, moving in a wide circle to your left in hopes to come at you a little more straight on for now at you at a medium pace, my shield held in front, and hiding behind, as my sword remained roughly in its place, as my right foot landed upon the sand I took a small shimmy to my right side, but it was only in hopes to fool you and at least get a twitch before I moved back to my left with a much larger pace, and came in at you from your right hand side, your weapon arm at about 2 feet away now…
… it was then that my left held short moved high into the air, and about a foot to my left in fact, coming down in an arcing downward sweep like motion hoping to slip under the rim of your shield and catch you across your right shin, so that I could then drag the edge of my sword across and hopefully taking some of your 7 foot hulk down a bit…
Waaaaaaay too much here....circling, shimmying, stepping again....dont try so hard.
This works.

says to ··J · ä · ð · ë · ð·· : I just pivot on the ball on My left foot as I drop to the right knee at the same time and let the shield lower rim hit the sand and take the slice over the shield face as I feel your pig sticker sword go off to your right now and be low across Your own body
clobbering time as I shot up from the knee and hopes to push My left shield forward and pin your left arm on your won shield in the grip , as I was doing this I was holding the right long sword still at the side of My left shield and just lowered the tip a little on the accent to try and drive the tip froward and up to get over the left side rim of Your shield (My pov) and keep Your left shoulder across Your body and drive that tip up under Your chin in the upward thrust of both arm and body lift...
Clean
Not sure about the left rim of His shield from your pov....but this still works.

is down in the fighting pit
says to Joe MacBain Companion of: I leaned my body and left shoulder back, letting you shield attack graze across and instead of really slamming into me, it more or less pushed me back the way I came, adding to my movement enough to get my head and chin up out of the way of your long sword trying to give me a hickey of some sort, my shoulder pulsed with a few beats of my racing blood cuz a shield from a guy your size hurts like a brick in the face…
…after I caught myself after leaning back a ways, I would bring my weapon arm back and high, so that the point of my blade point upwards and it was behind my back, a little awkwardly, but lady luck loves fools, from here, I would swing my arm in a forward high arc, tilting the point of the sword downwards as it came alone, in a windmill motion in hopes of coming in from above your shoulder and pierce into your shoulder/chest area or wherever I could reach your frame you bastard…
First of all, thanks to momentum, I dont see you being able to pull your left side back again especially after he has pinned your arm to your shield cross body, which you never stated freeing up.....second, you are lifting your head and chin?? That is what He is aiming at! Duck below the shield and let it deflect off your helm or drop to your knees and go at his now exposed legs....or something!!!....by lifting your chin you open the target He was aiming at..he is coming from low and elevating back to 7'2....no way you are gonna get high enough to avoid it....fight is over with your head skewered on Joe's sword.

says to ··J · ä · ð · ë · ð·· : not overly sure what area Your going for on my left or right here so will do an overall defence as You went back I took the chance to cut My right held sword from the mid postion miss it would be in and cuts it to My right side as You are in midwindmill, that move taking a bit of time and look awkward to Me and I hoped to catch Your blade mid section in the down arc of the move and drive it off to My right and open Your left
taking a side back diagonal pace to My right to get more on Your left side and hope it is open and with a bit distance to let the longsword work the magic as I change the sweep and take the blade to My left now in a full swirl trying to cut it acoss My body and sweep down on Your left side, in the aim of cutting the blade when low, back across to My right and hack across Your shins, thinking perhaps not going for the obvious target of Your left ribs would make You move into the path of My blade

says to Joe MacBain Companion of: [ Sorry…was meant for left, but yeah, that works ] Mimicking your earlier move of lower right down to the ground on bended knee [ my left knee ] and placing the shield down upon the ground to catch your sword, figuring I was a foot shorter, I’d beat you there…
…then with my sword knocked to my left, I would bring it in a left to right haymaker type arcing swing, hoping to pierce the tip of the blade into your right knee, again trying to take you down a little and maybe not die in this fight! Heh…put that in there for effect…

says to ··J · ä · ð · ë · ð·· : You went for My back right knee and was happy to let You as I pivot on the ball of the left foot and drag My right side back and around to get out the way of the shorter sword stab, taking a quick pace now to My left to try and get on Your right side as Your on your knee and be at Your side and around that shield with a longsword getting brought up as I moved, so it would rest on My right shoulder at the mid blade point
Hi there! - I smile and slice the right longswrd down from My right shoulder at full grunt aimed for Your right bicep as You hold the shield in the dirt, it being a big ole shiled and not moved so fast as I aim to cut your right arm off

says to Joe MacBain Companion of: Since you first wasted time enough to say Hi there, that was my queue to vamoose, well that and you being not in front of my anymore, and I tucked my head under as I rolled forward, into a somersault, rolling onto my back and back up to get my feet under me…
…then like the lil wussy guy in the movie Troy, I regained my feet and lifted to stand moving away from you to get a lot of distance between us, finally turning, with hopes that everything was still attached “She got it back, she got it back!”

Comments:
Not a lot really.....Locke, always keep your position in mind, if your weapon is trapped...STATE getting it free.....you cannot assume a judge will go...ah ok, that's what He is doing....especially My fussy ole self. Block, minimise evade. Reading over this you are improving though...keep up the good work.
Joe......well fought.....McBain wins!
