(04:13:52 )
KULL
says to Joe MacBain Companion of: I stand and walk within the pit...Tall and muscular at 6' 5", 259 lbs, carrying My polished Gorean War Helm with the Y slots for My eyes wearing the heavy bosk boots, the thick tunic and leathers common of the Kassarian when in battle ...placing the helm upon My head as I adjust the heavy Bosk tunic and leathers to a more comfortable position, looking over to My opponent through the slits in the helm...In My right & Left hand, I hold a short sword forged by My hand, tilted slightly upwards, pointed in Your direction...it is sleek but deadly, designed for the purpose of close combat and front line battles it has a round pommel, blackened temwood grain handle for balancing the swing with a leather grip on the sword, it has a hardened steel blade with dual blood grooves down the center and broad end tip..the blade length is 22.5 inches...it is as dangerous and it is beautiful... On My belt there are two sleen blades at My hip, sharply honed, ready for battle....I am standing with My feet a shoulder width apart..My left foot slightly forward after stepping to the back of the circle and as I await.....Weapons: Y helmet, 2 short sword, 2 sleen blades
Y slot helm
22.5" short in each handtolted up and pointed at opponent....not sure where they are held though.
2 sleen knives of undetermined length in belt.
6'5", 259lbs

Joe MacBain
says to KULL / Gabriela Brother : I pulled off the larl cape and placed it neatly on the side, it was new and Nyah would go nuts if I got it ruined….I was 7’2 and getting lean from the hard winter on My Isle, so was 340lbs, The Y visor helm was scratched and well used for a snug fit with the strap done under the chin…Gripping the long sword of 3 feet in the right hand as I drew the blade from the left hip master belt and slung it back so the blade rested on My right shoulder pointing back, the mid section of the blade making contact with My shoulder so the tip pointed up and backwards….I moved for the 36 round shield I had always used, with plate wood lockings, steel rim and boss center…I held it in the left hand by the handle and not the strap to get a quicker pivot should I need it, the shield was out from My body at about 8 inchs and came from My chin to My thigh as the left leg leads and I turn My body to let the right leg draw back and lower My target area and also bend the knees for support and power…I could see You just 3 paces away as I took a slow breath and thought of Nyah and the Kids, the Home and girls and I could feel the eyes of an Invisable GARR burning in the back of My helm watching Me….The din of the crowd faded to black and all I could hear was You breathing, Your heart beating and My Own breath as I got ready to fight….
Y slot helm
36" long in right resting on right shoulder
36" Round shield in left
7'2", 340lbs
Distance 3 paces ( 9 feet )

KULL
says to Joe MacBain Companion of: Growling ..as I look up damm your a tall SOB... and then spring into action steeping up with my my right foot My hips rolling left to right as the right arm snaps out and down ... swpping low then cutting up at mid streach of the right elbow the blow aimed at the right side of your head ... the idea the fake of snaping low then snapping it up inthe hopes to make you drop the shield low then race to cover your own head ... as i step in now ith 1 half step with the left foot rolling My hips counter clock wise the left blade darts low atmed at the lower left thigh ///{MPOV} the thought ...hel that Biggass shield cant be in two places at one time....
Am guessing you closed the distance here, but did not really state doing so. In future try and state the distance you closed to before making the attack because as you have worded it, you are now about 6 feet from Him and struck at nothing. -1 But will say you closed for continuity.
The dual attack changes are not yet in place. So the first one counts, the second does not. -1

(04:33:59 )
Joe MacBain
says to KULL / Gabriela Brother : I watched You come in at Me and having My right sword on My right shoulder pointed back I just lifted the blade from My right and leaned at My waist to My left and blocked the left blade of Yours for My Head and held My long sword on the inside of Yoru left blade, the attack at My left thigh from Your right blade blade I catch on the rim of My shield as I was leaning down to My left and this brought the big shiled down with the lean
with this position I could see a clear attack..and I lean back up full as I am chopping My right blade down in a vicious snap to try and send the blade down hard and fast as Your in short sword range and I have a long sword add to that I am inside Your left blade I hope to just cleave My blade into the left side of Your neck/shoulder junction as I slice right down...
Clean. Good use of motion.
Clean.
( 10 )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(04:46:54 )
KULL
says to Joe MacBain Companion of: as the right blade chops at my left shoulder ... yes inside close this is the way I love it with short blades the elbow on My left arn turn in so it is pointing across My body ...and the blade across My face as it pushes up the idea catch your right handed long sword as it drops ... and keep me in one peace...
your holding Up My right blade now as your freed it to attack but it so high up My right elbow cock out at about a 45 angel pointed behind me the short sword blade now aimed at the eye slots of the healm ...as I thrust it forward ... stopping it short as i dont want to get lucky and kill you but I dont mine making you look like a kassar with a courage scarr ...then the left as it was Blocking drps between us using your shield as a Guide It scarps across the face down aimed at the lower left thig again ... about 4 inches above that knee the idea is still simple open you up and let you bleed
His blade was inside yours from the block He perfromed, so by making this motion you are actually pushing His sword down....thus His blow lands with a mortal blow to the side of your neck. Will continue on though as requested.
Ok, again...double attacks are not yet permitted in Prodigy just yet. The first attack is good, and it is mock blows...go for it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(04:52:39 )
Joe MacBain
says to KULL / Gabriela Brother : thats TWO attacks again Bro...I shunted the left shield up by using Mt left shoulder to get the upper rim to take the blow of Your right sword as shunted back in a quick shuffle and hope that clears Me from the slice of Your left blade for My thigh as I come back a pace -3 feet-
Your left blade low and Your right blade High as I just push My right sword forward in a thrust with a slight downward angle as You blocked before and left My blade there as I hope to drive the blade from My reach and 3 feet blade lengh and shove it the left side of Your chest.....
This works. No need to avoid thigh attack.
This works
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(05:04:29 )
KULL
says to Joe MacBain Companion of: Ohh shit the blade thrusting at My chest From this Big ass Bosk Of a man .... Both blades one high one low nsap up and dow to catch the thrust as ifind my self damm near leaping back a step more as well .... as twisting My hips to the richt My shoulders following the twist also....
now were farther apart ...as i circle left never wanting To hit you head on with such a size diference ... but this could help me also..as I crouch down a lil lower about 6 Inches at the knees hoping to duck into the shield and you loose me and spring in fast on the blind side behind that shield... My right arm circles behind My body as the blade aims to land on the top of the shield useing it as a guide ... I Thrust it down word now at a 45 degree angel aimed at that left shield shoulder between the neck and the collar bone hoping To open that up
Ok....you are trying to cach the thrust and stop it between your blades? I see what you are doing in terms of trapping and turning it but I dont think you would slow the thrust enough. This is a good move, you just need to word it a bit better.
Who's left are you going to? If it is your left, you are going to His right and thus His swordarm side, not the shield side. Always be clear as to where you are otherwise we judges get confused.....I cant see this attack happening as you have stated going to your left and not his and thus would not be in range to make this shot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(05:09:33 )
Joe MacBain
says to KULL / Gabriela Brother : as You came back in and placed Your sword on My shield rim I quickly pushed My shield up and away from Me so that Your blade would run around shy of Me and just circle off low from the rim as I pivot on the ball of My left foot to bring Me around square with You dropping the shield back down in the action to clear My vision
My right blade was still out to the front and I hacked My right blade down hard and fast as I aim to try and cleave into Your right low forearm with the mid section of My blade as Your right side slings low
Pushing the shield across and thus the shot aimed to ride along it.
Your sword was off to His right from where He turned it...he has windmilled over so the better shot would be to slice up as His arm is coming down.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(05:17:50 )
KULL
says to Joe MacBain Companion of: you push with the shield ... feeling this .. I go with it .. stepping back 2 steps then the blade of your right hand must come across your body aimed at My right arm as i roll My hips and arm back as well draying your target out of the way ... but now still too far back to make much good of it....
this seemed to do some thing I think as i circlle left again ... crouching down 8 inches and ducking into the shield the idea hide it in so you done see me approach ... again I spring in ... behind it this time the blade useing the lower edge of that Hung bard door round shield as a guide to thrust low aiming at you lower left knee ... hell I gotta widdle you down some how as i thrust at the joint on the knee hoping to take that leg or joint out of the game
You put his arm across to your right to start with but I think it is under your right. WHich way are you rolling your hips and twisting? This sort of detail is important.
Again you are circling left and then attacking His left which would not work. Also, crouching and trying not to be seen because of His shield will not work, He is 7'2 and would be acutely aware of where you are. You crouched down 6 inches before, and now it is another 8, you need to remember to straighten when you state you have lowered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(05:23:52 )
Joe MacBain
says to KULL / Gabriela Brother : I see the same move again and work out Your pattern of attack and right away I pivot on the ball of My left foot to push My right side forward as I drop to the right knee, brining the shield rim down to the sand with a thunk, Your thrust blocked and denied in the square and drop move
as You are crouching and I am kneeling with My right blade over to My left side this gives rise to a stand and slash as I come up fast from the left knee and swish My right held sword in a backhand cut to get over Your left blade and try and run the steel edge across the front of Your throat and out to My right side with a longsword and see if You can spring out the way of that one as I come back up to 7'2
Pretty good post except you dropped to your right knee and stated coming up off your left knee.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(05:33:31 )
KULL
says to Joe MacBain Companion of: F&*... as My Right sword is pinned dropping It My left hand short blade snaps up as It needs move but a lil as you try to come over the top Of it the sound Of steel rings out threw the arena as steel on steel sings out while tipping My chin so that the healm now touches the breast bone in case I miss the block ... psfff... better to have a head ack then a cut throut ...
now with the left blade in My hand tied up I draw the sleen blade on My left hip point down I aim to slam the thing burry the blade into the sand and threw that boot top of your kneeling right foot the idea pin it and mabe even keep it from moving ant more
Ducking into a longsword attack is not a good idea, a short sword is able to cleave through a helm with enough oomph behind it....a backhand stroke from a Man this size, with a sword this size given th defense you made....would see you dead or at best severely maimed.
You stepped back earlier which would take you well out of range to attempt this attack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(05:37:36 )
Joe MacBain
says to KULL / Gabriela Brother : You kept low and pulled a weapon, it takes a bit of time and Joe was not about to stand there and watch You stick Him in the foot ...so I jump change My footing in a small leap so that the feet changed postions and hopes You dug the sand
as soon as I did this and was standing from the previous attack I pushed My right blade downward as You had to lean to stab at the sand and expose Your back, I drive My right blade over Your helmet head and aim to dig the blade deep in between Your shoulder blade
This works....
Clean
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(05:42:12 )
KULL
says to Joe MacBain Companion of: F&* the Mountain up again .. I think as the blade falls at My Back ... well I'm already dirty and this sand smells no worse then bosk ... dropping On the right shoulder as I roll to My right 1 no 2 yea 3 rolls of My Body to try to get out of the way of that falling blade ... what the hell do i look like a bosk roast ment to be carved...??
then standing as i feel clear of this fight ... deep breath damm this is different I think
This could work.
