My left arm runs through the strap to grip the handle of the 36 inch wide Gorean round shield with it's domed, bowl like face. My right hand grabs theSaber of some 30 inches ithink i have been listing it through the tourney. I make my way down into the sands. My left foot steps forward and my right foot comes backward a bit. My shield positions so it's inside rim is in the front of my center chest, but it's rim back close to me, only 2 inches out from my chest, the left rim extending past my left side, but not too far behind it. My saber's hilt is up above my right shoulder, it's length extending upward and back behind me, ready to strike.-

says to Cicero: Standing at an even 7’2” and 340lbs of fine Tuchuk cooking I slung the 36inch shield on My left arm holding the handle but leaving the strap off, being a Farmer I had the arm power to control the shield and it gave Me move flexibility with the large wooden planked shield, the iron boss and bound around the rim with a rivet band was pulled in at the left flank so the edge faced You and the flat pointed out to My left, The left arm coiled at the elbow so the boss would sit at the left hip level, the upper rim at the side of My head at the left jaw level and the right rim (my pov) comes around slightly to cover part of My left side chest…The left foot was leading on as I moved into the stance and the shield came around in the move so the face of the shield was now looking at You to cover the left side of My chest with the right rim, the left side rim comes out past My left side and back a little to cover, keeping the right rim about 3 inches from My chest….., The right hand pulled My short sword of 22 inch with an acorn pommel is pulled up so that the middle of the blade was resting on My right shoulder and the tip pointing back, My left shoulder leading on so You would see My short tip sticking around the back of My neck as You would see it…I rolled My neck to ensure the Y helm was on secure….The 30 inch long, thick metal saber was on My back going from My left arse cheek to My right shoulder, the hilt being at the shoulder for access…I moved to My right slowly as I circle to My right and watch You at 4 paces and got ready to unleash the whirlwind…

Cicero
[Within the sand floored Sparring arena]
says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -I noted your stance with a grin behind the helmet, that sword up above your shoulder, that shield mostly out to your left side. I began to advance at a slow pace across the considerable distance between us. The slow approach was deliberate in an attempt to lull you into a false sense of time remaining before engagement, but then at roughly 5 feet from us, I lept forward in a quick pounce to close the gap to 3 feet, intending to land so that our shoulders were square-
-As I had lept, My saber had slashed down and to my left, so that the hilt of the sword and my right fist passed infront of the face of the shield, the length of the blade aiming out to my left, the movement having been quick and precise for then at the last moment, i finally designated direction, and that came by rolling over my right wrist so that my knuckles and sword's main edge, is facing back toward my shield face, my right elbow then tucks in sharply to my right side of my body while my right shoulder dips and my forearm powered my saber forward and around to my right in a powerful movement so that my right wrist added a sharp flick to drive the tip of the saber forward at your right side ribs, or the front of your right side of your stomach in a heavy thrust. Attempting to land the blow quickly without much warning, well before you could bring the shield over, or the sword down and still plunge forward if a pivot.- That my friend, is the Backhanded wrap shot. -grins-

says to Cicero: I watched You coming in and it was slow...too slow as I was moving around in a circle and in the time You took that slow walk I got ready by pulling My sheild further over to My right side and turning more to show You My left side and the full face of My shield, as You lept at the last to 1 pace and brought that saber down I noted it was a heavy blade and I had the power edge on You but today I would use My power to add force to the direction of Your shot as I push out My left elbow to send the right rim of My shield (My pov) in close and wrap around My body as I aim to strike Your saber at the mid point of the stirke and force it off to My right and hope it is across Your bocy
I held My short sword high over My right shoulder and I twisted on the ball of My leading left foot as I swung the short sword off My shoulder and to My left side, keeping My knuckles facing down to get the inside cutting edge on a horizontal angle, I did this with a quick sharp snap move of the right elbow to whip the blade around as You are only a pace away as I aim to have You off balance and cleave the short into the left side of Your neck, being taller and able to get the sword over the top rim of Your shield faster maybe than You could react to the move and cut it under the rim of Your Y visor helm- and that is a Joeykin head shave Amigo

says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -When that sword of yours came up off of your shoulder, My knees bent to bob me downwards, to buy time enough to pump my shield up several inches to a foot so that your downward stroke hacks into the top rim of my shield and not my neck.-
-While I'm down here, My sword angled to my left, I back hand the saber across to my right and foreward a bit, looking to cum cutting across the front of your left leading leg, just where theshin meets the top of the foot, looking to make it quite hard to stand on that leg. I intended for the saber's stroke to follow through out to my right before eventually ending the stroke thingyed up over my right shoulder again, all be-it in a lowered crouch position.-

says to Cicero: no no no...I saw You duck down and Your weapon low on Your left side and that ment one thing as My blade was catching Your rim I just dropped at full pace as a leg swipe was coming up and I just knew it, as I drove down hard on the right back knee and thank Odin that it was sand it made contact with My shield would be ripped down with Me but to make sure I used My left arm also to drive the shield down and crash the lower rim in the sand to take the edge of Your saber over the face of My shield and off to My left as I hear the wood scrape and gourge
I was down low now and You had crouched so I had My right sword down over the face of Your bowl round shield, this was what I wanted and as with the shield drive I was snapping My right arm down and using the smooth face of Your own shield as a guilde, putting the pressure on at the last section of Your shield so when I did come past the lower rim My blade would strike fast and hard with the quick release of the pressure..I was aiming to scoop the blade when it left the lower rim of Your shield, even with a crouch I had noted that You had raised Your shield a few inches, could this be the few inches I needed? I sliced the lighter short blade for Your outside left leg, depending on how and if You moved Your shield would be the target but the aim was to get under the shield and into the leg

says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -I grinned as i felt and heard your sword moving against the face of my shield in contact, i took advantage of this mistake by surging forward and upward with the shield to jam my shield against that sword of yours that insisted on keeping contact with my shield, as i came upward to normal height and my shield pushed outward, the lower rim of the shield pushed out even further so to try and prevent you from getting under my my shield for my left leg-
-With my shield hopefully jamming up your sword against your body and or shield, and me at full height with you hopefully on the one knee, i pressed forward with a surge, trying to smash the face of my shield down and forward at your body, trying to lock in against your body. At the same time as the shield lock and push, my saber had smashed forward rather higher then usual to pas sover th etop of your left shoulder so that my right arm really extended so much that my forearm had hopefully came past your upper shield rim before my right wrist rotated to snap the blade's sharp curved edge hacking back toward me and at the back of your neck just below the helmet's line, hoping for a death or a knock out in the quick hook.-

says to Cicero: is pissed as I missed the squared shoulders and went for mid section hit in the first round and will get You next time -smiles- but for now I pulled My right sword out to My right as You lifted Your shield and got it off the edge as I brought My blade back to Me and now was the time to drive as pulled My sword clear I drove up off the right knee as You came in so that My shield would be pushed up hard to have a two fold action in the raising of My body and shield, to clash with Your sheild and drive You back and aslo with the large face of the shield try and catch Your blade before You could extend that right arm and push Your blade back against You
I hope that My bigger stronger frame drove You back and cluttered up Your equipment and have My sword clear and ready for quick use on My right side at about My waist section, as I right hook My arm and step off to My right in the same move and try to get to Your side so that My reach would be able to hook the tip of the blade around the far edge of Your shield, I hope pressed against Mine, and drive My blade into Your left kidney area
Ok....I have read this a number of times.....but My issue here is the shield placement.....and the timing.....I know you are trying to push His shield back and cramp His shot...but He is pushing His shield dwon....now if you are trying to clash with His shield and push Him back...and also get it high enough to cramp the shot going over the top of your shield.....but I cant see it doing both of those things and you would need to get His arm pretty well to stop this shot as it is a long ass weapon....not to mention lift it up a decent way...and I would have cleared it to the left to be certain also.
Better option would have been to move your shield up and back as His arm came over...making a table top that Hss wrist would be on and be unable to effect any attack because you are below it...then at such close range with His shield moving down....attack either the back of His legs or overarm your short at his upper left torso area.

says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -With you so close and now coming up to your full height, I was quick to pivot upon my right foot so that my left foot and left side of my body came backward away from you so to free up my shield by adding a sharp yank of my left arm to draw the shield back toward my left side so that it's left rim protrudes back behind me, it's inside rim comes across to about center torso and it's top and bottoms ranging from left shoulder to left knee, though leaving my sword in contact with your shield. The pivot and sharp yank to disengage was enough to catch the short sword with a dull clank upon the shield rim.-
-I studied our positions for a brief ihn before I began to back away to my right while I drew my saber upward to rethingy it back up over my right shoulder ready to strike. I watched you through the helmet while I reset myself, looking to put up the final flury soon.-

says to Cicero: I did not allow that and closed in as soon as You put the sword over Your shoulder as I closed in on You, pumping out My shield to try and just smother Your right side from Your mid ribs to way above Your right shoulder and lock that sword there, the sides of the 36 inch shield held firm in case You was looking for away around My left side
I took advantage of the time and the fact that Your shield hit My sword and stopped the action but left the blade at Your side and I hope to be right in close in an almost hug as I press Myself and shield on in hopes the My shield rim on the right (My pov) also catched Your shield rim to pin it to Your chest and allow Me to slide My right hand up Your spine and try and drive the short sword up under the Y visot rim and into the nap of Your skull at the top of the spine

says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -As you came in to try and smash that shield of yours into me, I gave way by bending at the knees and sitting my hips backward in a quick fall so that I disagree landed on the sands and my left arm hoisted the shield upward and out to my left to catch that short sword of yours in it's flail in the air above me and not let it get around me to come up from behind at my neck/skull base.-
-My saber then swung forward from it's thingyed position to swing forward and aroudn to my left, with that shield of yours' lower rim at mid rib height, it was easy for a quick hack at the outside of your left knee, intending to bring you down to my height.

says to Cicero: and at Your hieght I was going to be as I felt You fall away I was already pulling My sheild down to see what Your sneaky arse was up to and I ripped MY shield down on My left side to do so that the boss was at the level of My mid thigh on the left leg and the shield took a hacking on the outer rim as You cut cross
Ya little nuts! - I laffed and hooked back the short sword in order to flick it down as I let go, to let the end fly end over tip once to get the end to plant firmly and squarly in Your groin as You had moved Your shield out to bat My sword away I thought it fitting as You just went for My good knee....if it hits I am leaving Gor forever as Cidka will chew My ear off for as long as I dare to wear tags
Already on the way down....knowing you were exposed...this works, because of the timing in your wording....but only just
Not sure on the throw....but it will still hurt if it hits regardless

says to Cicero: and at Your hieght I was going to be as I felt You fall away I was already pulling My sheild down to see what Your sneaky arse was up to and I ripped MY shield down on My left side to do so that the boss was at the level of My mid thigh on the left leg and the shield took a hacking on the outer rim as You cut cross
Ya little nuts! - I laffed and hooked back the short sword in order to flick it down as I let go, to let the end fly end over tip once to get the end to plant firmly and squarly in Your groin as You had moved Your shield out to bat My sword away I thought it fitting as You just went for My good knee....if it hits I am leaving Gor forever as Cidka will chew My ear off for as long as I dare to wear tags
Already on the way down....knowing you were exposed...this works, because of the timing in your wording....but only just
Not sure on the throw....but it will still hurt if it hits regardless

says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -my heels pushed back as my legs tensed while i scooted backward across the sands so that it's length lands not so perfectly infront of me by a few inches from my groin. I grinned a bit.- Remember Joe, a short sword isn't balanced for throwing!. -laughs before i come up to my feet.-
Not much else to do....clean
