is at the wild flower meadow and says to Redwald HolmCaptain of t: Old arse eh I see the yards of the shield and the pace close down to 2 paces, that was just fine, as My left was leading I planted it off to My right a little as if I I was coming at Your left side but I then puled the right back foot behind the leading left foot as the legs crossed and closed the distance to 1.5 paces the left axe came into play and I drew it off to My left to aim for the mid section of Your short sword, as soon as I had did this the left foot was being brought back forward as the continuses movement of My feet brought Me in, not overly sure where Your shield was but no matter
I I cut the longsword from My shoulder by snapping down My right wrist and forearm at the elbow to get speed and power in the downstroke aimed across My body slighty and aimed for Your right sword arm at the elbow joint to cleave it off as I hope the hooked edge axe mat be able to hold Ya blade in place to stop any swift back pulling
Closing to right, attempted sword bat to the left.

Redwald Holm
Captain of the Hunting Larl
WETP/AR
is at the wild flower meadow and says to Joe MacBainCompanion to : I lift my sheild up and placing my left foot across to my right I spin anti clockwise trying to move to my left in the prosses the move is designed wo take the blow from your axe on the center of my sheild and then move me out of the way of that bloody big sword that is following it, hoping it will slice the air to my right.
I now crouch hoping the rapid movement has placed me to your right still at the distance of 1.5 paces. I swing my sword, bringing it from behind me the blade on the horizontal plain the ache of the swing parralel with the ground i hope to hit you in the left knee at about knee cap level and take out that leg, if it wasn't mock.
I get what you are trying to do here, but the wording of it costs you. You stated lefting the shield, which you did nt state a position for, but not to where. Now, By pivotting your left side back like you have, you actually open up your right arm as you made no attempt to pull it back as all. Joe has batted your sword to your right a little then come across between you with the long to cut at your arm. You did not pull your right arm back at all....but spun leftand back, thus leaving your right arm to be severed. Fight is over.
A suggestion for the furture....
As your axe came towards My sword I dropped the tip of the sword down so your axe moves over the blade..at that instant I see the twist in your torso and knew that big sword was coming, I open My shield up slightly and to the left so it is perpendicular to My body, your big ass sword slamming into the face of the shield and leaving My arm attached and ready to hurt you
from that position, his sword is off to your left, his axe is outside your sword and you have the left side of His chest to carve holes in with your short sword.
Like I said, just a suggestion.

is at the wild flower meadow and says to Redwald HolmCaptain of t: As soon as You started to move to a crouch I was pulling back My left leg as I know You would go low for either a knee of hip shot..as I draw the left leg back I pivoting on the ball of the right foot to turn My body to My right side leading and the left axe chopped down to get insde Your right blade and try to hook it off to My left just for good measure
low by Your Own doing and turned away from Me so Your left shield would hit a left side weapon, add to the My Own pivot, I reckon I lookin at Your back, Your left side leading to Me....My right blade had just missed and so would have come low and back to My right side I imagine and that I was pleased about ...I drew back My right elbow as I had come around and it now had the blade horizontal to the ground as I came under the lowe rim of Your shield, so it would only take a quick stab to get the tip behind Your shield, but no! I THRUST My right blade in with conviction on a slightly downward angle aimed to stick it in Your left ribs under the left elbow joint and drive the steel in the body and down through Your lower organs if possible

By conwincidense you are I think thrusting at my ribs from behind, If I have that wrong... any how my sheild should make contact with your blade as i move before quickly around to face you sending the blade to my left I hope.
I bring my sword up circling the blade, now on the vertical plain, before me in a clock wise direction just infront of my sheild. i hope to catch your extended forarm and take that out of the fight.

is at the wild flower meadow and says to Redwald HolmCaptain of t: clockwise to Who's POV and what forarm? reads again....in front of Your shield so assume You are going at My right arm with a clockwise strike from Yoru Own POV...You came over in a clockwise swip but unsure how you got past the shaft of My axe, that should have been on the inside but I pivot back on My now back left foot to pull My right shoulder back as I withdrew My right blade and brought up My left axe at the same time to try and catch Your blade on the down stroke as I drew back My right arm and shoulder
I think You just crossed Your right arm over Your body over Your sheild and I had pivoted back to a leading left foot again and now I think You left Your right ribs wide open, so I just shoved My right blade up as I tried to drive the tip in and up into Your right armpit and end it right there and then

I now thust with my right shoulder and that yard wide sheild I have there the shoulder ram your closest shoulder, hoping to a) knck you back a couple of paces and b) make sure that I am facing you properly again

this time with the low right blade of Mine I struck My blade to My left on a low arc as I spin on the ball of My back right foot to turn My left shoulder back to place more force on the rim of Your shield and aslo hook My right blade from the low arc behind Your left leg as I sweep the steel edge up trying to hook the steel into the back of Your left knee

How for that axe thing hooked up in my sheild, I pull the sheild on my left arm sharply towards me. my rihgt hand holding my shorter sword come up to maybe slash at you but instead the fist that holds the blade comes up to slam the pummle of my sword hilt into the your right eye opening on your helmet. I hope to have pulled you close in to less that a half pace by the movement

not sure how My blade went off but okay as You pull back and pull Me in but now I was lower and I pushed My left arms forward just a tad to free the left axe and then sweep it low off to My rightside as I use the rim of Your shield as a guide and try and cut the long blade face over the yop of bloth of Your thighs

Now your low and I am trying to stay within a hlaf pace of you. i again use the pummle of my sword and bring it down hheavy on your right collar bone hoping to knock out that arm and the long sword too.
