says to Joe MacBain Companion of Lad
Walking to the Pit tossing the scabbard of My sword outside of the Pit ring and locking the strap of My Y helm under My chin…dressed in black leathers-pants, long-sleeved tunic and knee-high, black boots… 220 pounds carried in a well-muscled, lean frame and height of 6’2. On My left arm a common, 32 inch round shield of 7 layers of hardened, bosk hide with reinforced rim of hammered steel and a steel-centered 6” boss..the shield covers the front torso of My body with the bottom edge below My knee …the top edge is at the level of My helm strap beneath My chin. In My right hand, I hold a 36 inch, long sword, honed by My own hand to razor sharpness..the hilt wrapped in leather bindings for a secure hold...Setting My position at 4 paces to You..judged from the tip of My fully extended sword at the moment…getting into stance …feet shoulder width apart..knees bent…solid balance...My left foot leading.. My right foot angled back fairly perpendicular to keep it out of the limelight of Your sword…bringing My sword to a middle guard position, hilt at My right hip, the blade aimed forward and up at Your chest..nodding I am ready.

: -standing at a mean 7'2 Torvaldian of some 340lbs of rowing muscle from years on the serpents...I walk in the pit and have the Y visor helm on My head with the strap done up....the left hand holds a 2 foot long shaft of a single head axe, the head some 7 inches with a curved tips for hooks as the rear of the head is a 2 inch spike...it was held at the lower section of the shaft and the left hand rested at the left hip with the axe up at 45 towards You...the right hand drew out a 3 foot blade longsword of the north, the type made for bashing shields and lopping off heads as I rested it back to My right shoulder so the blade was pointing back, the midsection of blade came into light contact with My right shoulder and the right had was out so the blade rested at 45 backwards....My left foot took the lead as ever as I take up the orthodox boxing stance and settle in with the knees bent slightly for speed and power in the move...I watched You for a ern before I nodded to you be ready as You can for My attack

in sparring pit one says to KAIBlack Dagger Inn, SC: I saw the distance and Your stance taking note of the shield and it being leather as I move off to Your left side quickly on a circle in trying to get My left shoulder outside Your left shoulder at a distance of One pace and be half side on so I am still looking at You, pushing My left axe forth to try and get the hook of the blade into the rear edge of Yoru right side shield My pov and pull back on the left arm to hold the shield in place and try to stop You moving
As at the same time I swing My right blade from My right shoulder out to My right hard and fast, aimed to cut around and down on a diagonal to try and slam the inside cutting edge across Your lower back, from Your left kidney area down to Your right arse cheek in a full strike.
Closing to the right. Hook, nice.
Vicious....clean

in sparring pit one says to Joe MacBain Companion of Lad...:
Thinking how big they grow Torvs these days noting your height and weight~G~..noting Your helm, 2 foot axe with spike in left hand, your 36 inch long in your right. Watching as you close distance circling to my outer left, turning to my left keeping you in front of me not letting you move to my side. My shield tight to my side and left back not giving you free space, my right arm free slicing upward from my right hip position hoping to cut your wrist maybe even gouge it and let it dangle~G~…seeing your right coming at me, plowing the inner edge of my shield forward and out in a backhand, hoping to catch the blade on the boss and whack your sword back .
No sure if this is a counterattack or not.....if it is, therre is a lot of motion that is not described as simultaneous. Squaring, ok. The swift strike, ok, though given where you held it I am not sure you would get a shot like this under His wrist...the pushing of the shield is ok. But the wording here is not terribly flowing. You pull the shield back tight to avoid the axe hook, but His attack with the long is happening alomost at the exact same time. SO by your description...I will say you bat His sword away but not before it bites into your outsid upper left thigh. -1

in sparring pit one says to KAIBlack Dagger Inn, SC: Thinks Your cutting at My left wrist with an up slice? as I was drawing My left arm back anyway and seem to have missed the shield it was easy to snap back the few inches I needed to get the shaft of My axe under Your right blade and push it up slightly to try and hold Your blade above the shaft of My axe
You hit My sowrd on the boss of Your shield and I smile as I hold the power on to keep it from bouncing back out and iunstead use Your shield edge as a fulcrum and wheel My right blade along the outter edge of Your shield as You hold out to Me, never a good idea, to run My blade low on Your left side to try and hack the blade across Your left leg so if You push down on the shield You would simply push My blade lower and hack Your shin
Because of the original position of the sword, this is ok.
Clean

KAI
Black Dagger Inn, SC
in sparring pit one says to Joe MacBain Companion of Lad...:
Not sure how you got your axe under my blade, since I was coming upward and you snapped back; however, since we are up close and personal *LOL…stepping forward and sliding my blade along the shaft of your axe and thrusting forward at your unprotected chest hoping to make a big hole that I can see through..while tipping the lower edge of my shield up and parallel to the ground and ramming the edge into your gut with a hard blow hoping that will make you double over while your blade slides off my shield edge far short of its mark.
you need to defend His attacks first or else counterattack.....He attacked your left leg, you stepped forwards and failed to defend the shot at all. Also, you are making a double attack which is not yet legal in the Prodigy rules. By stepping in, I dont see you having enough room to turn the blade to make the stab as you described it either.
Moving on....I see His strike at your leg landing and being more severe as you stepped in giving him full shot at it. At this point I would say you have a near severed left lower leg....Fight is over ....

in sparring pit one says to KAIBlack Dagger Inn, SC: thats a double attack I am thinking and as Your sword was indeed on the underside of My axe shaft I pivot on the ball of My left foot and push away and down with My left arm to drive Your sword down and away as the pivot was aimed to drive My right shoulder back and free My sword up as well as give a gap for the attack, Your shield bashing comes up and would come just shy
Your shields lower edge up and My longsword low as I think that My sword would now be at Your foot level pointing down, it would not take much to drive the blade up with the power of My wrist as I step back as the blade comes up between Your legs trying to slice and rip up the inside of Your left thigh as I lift and draw back My right longsword

in sparring pit one says to Joe MacBain Companion of Lad...: Hmm..thought the double was one of the new tweaks allowed… Crouching down and simply bringing my shield back to position with my elbow lowered to drop it low near my ankles…blocking your cut..thinking…if that one had landed it would have ended my Mating days**hehehe**..wondering why you are pushing down with your arm?..over my blade edge…simply whipping my sword down and then forcefully up as you move in your pivot ..hoping to see your left forearm cut through and on the ground by now

in sparring pit one says to KAIBlack Dagger Inn, SC: not as yet it's not -lol- was pushing down with My arm to keep the shaft of My axe on Your blade and push Your blade away as You whip down and back up I just held the axe shaft in place to take the force of Your blow and hold Your blade there
as You lowered Your shield I could feel the force and brought My right blade down fast to wheel it back and over My right shoulder in order to come chopping down at Your left side neck/shoulder section with the midsection of My blade and curious to see if You could hold off a 7'2 Torv's full down swing with a North longsword

in sparring pit one says to KAIBlack Dagger Inn, SC: The axe shft was held down and out and I was on a pivot that had not been closed as yet so I could Your blade push forward again and just pushed the axe shaft away from Me as I twist My left wrist to make the axe shaft horizontal and push the already wide blade of Yours wider out infront
You had tabled Your shield and so blind I think to My long sword above it and have extended Your right arm fully out...cool...I cut down hard and fast with power and gavity on My side now, to cut My right blade on an inside arc to get past the front of Your shield and try and just cut down at Your right extended arm at the elbow joint and take Your arm off as My axe shaft held the position of Your arm for Me

KAI
Black Dagger Inn, SC
in sparring pit one says to Joe MacBain Companion of Lad...:
Knowing it would take time for you to bring your sword back up and then down to make that swing, simply pulling back my elbow, moving my shield to my right a mere 3 inches in a direct line and tucking my arm protectively behind it… feeling the clang of your blade hitting the outside edge of my shield…taking advantage of your position now…seeing your left foot leading as I glance down behind my shield …stabbing the blade tip into the top of your instep..hoping to make you hobble.

(19:23:20) Joe MacBain Companion of Lady NyahHULNETH GRPHOUSE OF DESPOILERin sparring pit one says to KAIBlack Dagger Inn, SC: was unsure how You would of drew back past My axe shaft to do that as You draw Your arm back I guess it clears the axe and so it took very little to snap the axe shaft down on an inside acr across My body in order to swing the axe head down fast and catch Your blade and push it off to My left side, as I did I shifted My foot position in an Ali boxing shuffle move just for good measure..
============================
Result:
Winner by debilitating blow: Joe MacBain +1 league point and moves to 2nd round.
===========================
Comments:
Joe: Interesting combination of weapons. I like the hook move. Well fought.
Kai: You need to separate the sections of your post.....always defend/counter/avoid. Your ideas were good but just need some technical tweaking and the wording to be clearer. God job though.
