Standing at 7’2” and 320lbs of pure Torv sheet muscle I could see You at 10feet and moved back to get 4 paces from You now as I had the Y helm on My head and strapped down, My right hand was holding a short sword of 22” leaf blade and in the position of pointing the tip towards your shield face, My elbow bent and pulled in at My side, the left hand held the torv shield of 36” diameter and covers from My shoulder and covering My body as I lead left on and turn slowly watching You to come in and die, I had My feet at shoulder width and the right back leg bent slightly for the balance and swift moves, I the moved My right held blade slowly to come to meet the right side (My pov) rim of My shield that was banded with steel and the boss center would be facing You as I nodded for You to come and get some

I noted your size, your weapons and there position. you turned so not to give me your right flank. I keept moving in the half cercil motion out to my left untill i had aligned myself directly infront of you at some 10 feet away. Now straight infront of you at a right side lead 10 feet away i started to slowly move towards you whit short slow overlapping steps to then at 6feet away thake a QUICK sliding step towards you to close the distens to 4 feet.
My long sword Thursted forward, only to arch in a Counter Clock Wise Motion as i tryed to HACK my long sword Down atop of your gladius, by guiding my blade to come down from atop/ your right(ypov) against your blade in an atempt to Pin it against the right side of your shield(ypov) Only to reverse the direction of my blade and Slach out to my left in an atempt of cutting across the front of your right arm biceps deep enough to disabel your sword arm*R1*
Closing to face at 4 feet
Not sure how this motion is going to pin His sword to His shield here...you are coming around yours and down...you will knock it down, but not pin it....other than that, it works.

You come in at Me and I was not about to just let You waltz in like that and I got ready I had seen this in a reverse wrap and as soon as You closed in and sword of Yours starts to come across to try and pin My gladius I moved My right arm down to quickly lower My sword on the rim of My shield as I push My left shield over to My right side and lean My torso to My left, having the effect of moving the shield over My body twice as fast to get Your long sword on the outer rim of My sheild and block, as You thrust and My shield has been pushed over and My torso moved the opposite way I see Your thrust swipe parried prior to the action and hope to see Your long sword go off to My right
leaving my arm in tact and now in close as I lean in closer liking the upclose with the gladius, being a fast weapon, I brought that sword point ripping upward as I flex My right arm and shoulder shrug the right deltiod to drive the blade upward for Your left under armpit and drive the blade in and take out Your left arm for the rest of the match, keeping My shield tight over My body as I did so, so My right arm is coming around the rim to perform this action
Essentially square on now....this works
This works

you held a gladius but you were a BIG MOFO! The moment i saw and feelt my sword swoshing out to my left, given a extra “push” by your shield i thake a Quick step back and to my left to open the distens to 6 feet, In my right side lead and ym shield covering me from right shoulder and down to mid hip I hoped that if the range alone of 6 feet was not enough that my side step would in an efective manner keep my shield towards you and hinder any atempt to my left arm pit, as i moved to defend my long sword curled back and Up past behind of me the tip of sword lifiting for the sky
as the hilt comes up behind of my left shoulder I lean a little towards you and to my right as I Hack My sword Down from Abouve going across to my low right as i try slach deeply along the right side of your right arm just abouve the elbow *R2*
I dont like simply stepping as a defense.....He is a big bastard, with a long reach....I cant see you stepping that far, faster than He can get that sword up there....should have just shoved your shield across to the left as He deflected the sword cause you knew your arm was open, then stepped....as it is here, I see you taking a cut to the front of the left shoulder and front of the left armpit -1
Attack works ok

12:04:09)
Counterstrike: You moved slightly back and I kept My short sword out from the miss and as You moved to a high guard position I saw My opening and as I step in and thrust the blade already out and ready, to shove it right in Your throat up under the guard of the typical Y visor helm, as I close the gap as the with a single stride before You can make the down sweep for My arm thinking at best if You do not die and get the swing I have moved right to a pace in and stuck You and should just get a whack on the top of My right shoulder from forearm and that as far as I was concerned was a fair trade for a throat thrust
This works

Having given but a small lean lean forward i took a Quick sliding step back And to my left As i at the same time Pushed my shield up from where it had been held just infront of my right shoulder pushing it UP past my right shoulder so it would compleatly cover my face. At aprox 5feet away My vission covered my sword slash would follow trough - Unsure where it would hit you if at all, Maybe somewhere to the right arm/shoulder area,
Blinded I took yet another quick step back and out to my left to open the distens to 7 feet as i lowered my shield back to cover my right shoulder, and as fast as i can arching my left held sword out to my low wide left *R3*
If you moved to 6 feet....realistically given His size and length of weapon, His sword tip would be only about a foot away from you...with a lunge/step, I cant see you stepping to the left real swift given the motion of the sword going across to the right and you leaning in...He has timed His post to come as you are getting the sword up...which is when you lean....I cant see the step and lift working here because of the timing, motions and distance. Fight is over
Joe
12:16:34)
I saw the shield coming up and felt the wood and dropped on My left knee but off to My left side quickly so I could sway My own shield over up as I went down to deflect Your sword if it did get me on the lucky blinded swing and watched as You moved back blind
I was low and you was only over 2 paces from Me and could not see and I leap from My left low knee in a forward hop action to still be kneeling in the fast flurry I wanted you under pressure and swept My right gladius as I came in on the angle to keep us face on, the blade is pulled back in the hop and then thrust forward with venom for your lower gut and get the blade in there as I brought My right shield out from My left and table top it to let You see nothing but shield face as You look down and hopes that Your shield looking after Your shoulder forgot about Your abdomen
Bejar
12:24:14)
7 feet away - a leap ala Torvi guesing your aprox 5 feet infront of me, as you leap and am very mutch still in a right side lead i thake a quick step whit my right foot out towards your right as i give a small twist of torso to my own right, my shield having moved down alredy , i tryed to use the fact i had moved out to your right and then my shield to guide your blade out to your own left-BUT! keeping my shield thight to cover my own right flank.
I pivot hard on my right foot to bring my left side of body away from you in a clock wise motion to have My right side DIRECTLY facing You /your right side at 5 feet away, My body motion gave power as i Slash My sword from my left to my right in t as i go for a “wrap around shot” hoping to catch you whit my long sword arching around your right flank to HACK in from behind of you across the small of back whit enough force to drop you*R4*
Joe
12:31:10) 4
You moved back again and I liked that and I felt You move and saw the movement of Your feet and knew what was coming as I spin on My left knee to come around to My right and snap My left held shield down in front of Me, the width of the shield much greater than even My body I hope to clash the shield face on Your sword as the bottom rim hit’s the sand or take the blade on the rim and send a shock wave up Your arm, 5 feet away as You this and now My left is facing Your right side, I come flying up from the knee as I thrust My left shield out to My right to try and drive Your blade off to Your left
Then sink to the left knee again as this would close another half pace and hope to confuse You as I swing My sword from My left that You had pushed it over to My right aimed for the cutting edge to rip over Your right leading knee on the outside as I see it to bring My sword back over to My right and My shield pulled back over to My left to see if You fall.
Bejar
12:38:34)
You bounced like a frog on steriods , My sword hacked into your shield and the same moment it did i PULLED my sword UP back towards me, to not alow you to do anything mean like sending my sword to my wide left, You LEAPT! again ala Kurzon and as you did i stepped quickly away from you in a 45* degree line back and to my right , starting whit my right foot stepping away from you and to your left/your pov- and as i did this i pushed my shield down past my right side dipping right shoulder to gain speed and power in my defens of my right knee- seeking to get my shield that was alredy covering the mid section of right thigh down low enough to have your gladius strike nothing but wood or steel*
Now 4 feet infront of you and slightly of to your left whit my torso/ right side torwards you in a right side lead, my left foot behind of me, My sword had been half and half lifted previuse I leaned “back” from the right shoulder dip, but keeping knees bent as I HACKED my long sword down from infront of you- seeking to HACK it in from abouve and cleave your head in 2*r5*
Joe
12:45:39)
Looking as You moved back and seeing Your shield catch My sword I ripped My shield up over My head in the table top again to feel the clang of steel on wood as My left arm feels that pt hopes to keep that blade on there as I push up now with all the anger of a Torv to try and SHOVE that sword way up and back away from Me as I roar thrusting the shield up and to My front to try and blind You in the same move, coming around to face you as I pivot on the ball of My left leading foot as I have come up and hope that Your left arm is high, Your face covered with My shield and Your own shield down some from the knee defend
I am now square on and in full range at My full height as I go for the death shot and slash My short sword, made for pit battles and close quarter fights, to whip it full from My left to right as the blade comes up in an arc to try and cut over Your neck from the left side (your pov) out to the right with the mid section of blade to make contact so if You do move I may still rip your neck open with the tip and end this
Bejar
12:53:24
the force of you was BRUTAL And i considered me to be a big man but i feel My whole body practically getting Tossed backward as my left arm holding the large sword goves flying over my left shoulder it feels like i was hit by a Bosk as my body goves flying away from you i bright my shield up and across to my left in a desperat atempt of covering my upper torso and face, Hopefully you had bit yourself in the ass and aiding me whit your brutal rage and sending me flying / loosing enough balance to fall backward, would give me enough time to get my shield in position to cover my vital organs of heart and face, and your Brutal slash would find the left side of my shield and not my neck*END!
