says to Jarl Joe MacBai: Standing approximately 12 ft from you, 5'9", 120 pounds. My body lithe and lean from years of scrapping. Upon both hips two 12in sleen knives, honed razor sharp, sheathed but ready for action. Held securely in both my right and left hand, a seven foot spear with a deadly 18in double blade. My right hand was in the lead, about 1 foot from the beginning of the metal blade, making my hand about 2 and half feet down from the very tip of the steel. My left hand held about 15inchs behind the right, the entire shaft of the spear parallel to the ground, just a few inches off from my left hip. Standing in a left foot lead, the tip of the blade pointing directly at your midsection, the edge of the spear trailing out behind me. I nodded. I wore a set of heavy leather boots that came almost to my knees
5’9” 120#
12” sleen knives on each hip
7’ Gorean spear in both hands, right hand lead, 12’ range, typically, panthers used a lighter spear with less blade, more of a thrusting weapon and not a slashing one. Faster to take more advantage of speed and agility. Also, a knife blade in a sapling is something easy for a panther to construct.
Spear is on the left side, right hand leading on the spear, and in a left foot lead. This leads me to believe that your shoulders and hips are squared. If so, you might want to say something about that in the stance.

Standing at an even 7’2” and 340lbs as I enter the area, cutting the fat down to the fact that I have a Y visor helm on My head with the strap done, My right hand has a long sword double edged, with a 32” blade and cross guard over the hilt, held out to My right side so the tip looks at the ground 45 degrees from My right leg…My left arm has a Torv round shield of 36” with a boss and metal banding, held with the strap on the forearm and pulled around so that the boss is looking at You, upper rim under My chin level and about a foot away from Me…My left foot leading on at shoulder width and right trailed back with the toes of the right foot pointing out, knees slightly bent and ready to fight at 5 paces from you.
7’2” 340# ((Gods man, just fall on her, will drive her into the ground like a tent peg, what does Nyah feed you, kaiila steroids and tharlorian nards?))
Y slot helm on head
32” blade longsword in right hand
36” center grip round shield in left hand
5 paces, or 15 feet or so, left side lead.

says to Jarl Joe MacBai: Holy shit, that thing was a giant, noting the distance at 15ft, I noted the positions and the weaponry. With an evil grin, I pushed off on my right foot, arcing out towards my right, as I was running, I lifted the spear eight inches from my hip until it rested a few inches from my left rib cage, then as I got to five ft, I planted my right foot forward into the ground
while at the same time,my foot was landing, I jabbed forward extending both arms,aiming for what would have to be just above your belly button on the inside rim of the your sheild, weith your size and attempting to rip towards my lower right to slash open your bowels, intent on cutting your from middle stomach to your left hip
Close to 5’
Ok, fair attack, at this range, more of your spear would need to be extended for a really good thrust. Since you don’t say any different, your arc to the right puts you in front of him as you don’t say trying to get anywhere else. In addition, his shield, from in front, would cover nearly all of his belly, the slash down and to your right would likely find his shield rim before too much movement.

The thrust distance not fully given as I watch You run in I smile and lean back slightly and pull My shield flat to My gut and swivel My hips to My right slightly to pull the shield over and take the tip Your spear, as I feel the spear cut over the wood and to My left side I open the shield in the flow and aim to push You spear further to My left and try and put You off balance at the same time
In the move and when I see You off footing I pivot My My hips back around as the longsword comes up from My right to mid hieght and I step My back right foot in to close the distance down, My right arm fully extended as I cock My wrist at the last second to flick the blade inwards to Me for a seering wrap shot at Your mid back level, taking that I hope You are off balance, Your spear head off to My left and behind the face of My shield and My step in at the same time I was interested how You would counter this move
She said she closed to 5 feet range, then thrust. Given the range, this works. Closer range and you would be skewered.
Saying she is off footing is a force post. –1 Closing by a step to about 3 feet for a classic wrap shot to the mid back/left side area. Workable, though would be better with some mention of avoiding her spear haft.

says to Jarl Joe MacBai: Amused as you tried to catch me off balance, and direct the flow of my spear, I merely followed the flow of my body, scissor stepping slightly backward to make the distance more like 4 and a half feet with the left coming in behind the right and then the right opening up my stance again, thus keeping you in front of me and not behind, at the same time, My spear is already in motion, my left hand moving to out to my left away from my left ribs about 10inches, hopefully the end of the staff colliding with the blunt side of your blade. The blade tip was pointed downward at about a 30 degree angle to my right.
with that, I pushed with my right hand towards your left, bringing my left hand back to my right, the tip well below the bottom rim of the sheild I hoped, aiming to slice you from my right to left along your leading right leg, just below your knee
He was not moving behind, his sword was. The spear haft block will work fine as it was on your left side already. By the way, there is no blunt side to his blade. He clearly states that he as a double edged longsword.
Clean attack.

- I watched as you moved off to My left side and smiled, the only place the spear tip could go quickly was down and I found that My blade had missed the target so I drop to My right knee and slam the shield down in the ground in the open posture, closing the door on Your spear head as I feel You hit the outside wooden edge
My sword now on Your inside as You discribe the block from the spear shaft I left it there for the next move if required and came uo from the right knee and forwards to You as I briught My shield up quickly like a disk aiming the banded edge for Your chin and if possible to pass through the middle shaft of the spear to try and break it or disarm You and then follow through for the chin
music
Defense works.
Ummm, no, your sword would still be outside. She described moving to your left as she pulled the back of the haft up and the tip down to angle it across her side and catch your blade before it passed over or under the spear haft. She then swept the tip down and tries to slash at your leg. None of that would put your sword inside her spear. Got to pick one or the other of attacks. The chin blow is what I pick as it is the first one mentioned. A Gorean shield, even a metal one is not likely to break a Gorean spear haft as they are usually from 1 ½ to 2 ½ inches thick. Pretty beefy and the total weight of the weapon would be similar to the weight of a shield. The attack is workable.

says to Jarl Joe MacBai: COUNTERATTACK As you try to get your sword upon the inside of my spear, and are down upon your right knee, this was my chance. Stepping in with my left foot, My spear head off to my right, in front of your sheild face, pointing downward towards the ground slightly in front of me to my right. With violence you may not have noticed, my right hand slammed back to my right breast bringing the spear head back behind my right side, my left hand slamming forward towards your face (right side) aiming to mitigate the reach you had by your size, using the haft of my spear to block the rim and protect my chin, I was aiming for a vicious butt stroke, wanting to knock your big lumbering ass out
Clean counter attack. Well placed and described. Only issue is how to disengage his sword. Not a major one as I see the left end of your spear haft over his sword from the block and thus a clear path to his face, unless he does something interesting. However, with his size, at this range, he does have the potential to simply lift you from the ground or something.

oh dear I drop My shoulder and crunch My abs as I drop My head in a rapid torso drop and did not expect to get fully away as I lean My head to My left shoulder to cut the angle down and here is where a helmet is of great use as I look to duck or lower the strike of the butt end and be in a lower position and looking up at You with My sword now firmly and well planted between us at almost point blank range
I did not even bother to come up now I just thust My right held blade upwards and aim the tip of the blade for below Your belly button and skewer You there and then
Pulling the attack and turtling to take a glancing blow to the head. I don’t see anywhere in this fight where you get your sword between the two of you. You say it, but there is no motion to describe it. However, there is the fact of your sword being on the outside and no spear in the way to block it. So, the attack is clean and possible.

Using the momentum of my butt stroke, My torso was twisting back to my right, hopefully making myself a smaller target, then attempting to quickly step to my right in a fast shuffle step angling outside of your sheild side, all the while my left hand moving in a counterclockwise (mpov) in an attempt to get the butt end on the outside of your blade, so my spear was inside close to my body, wanting to allow the arc to throw your blade off target and into your sheild and not my belly
Ok, the step was fine. The problem comes that you are at close range, like a foot or less. His blade is 32” long and so at this range, it being on your left side, he is aiming for your belly. You can step quickly, but your spear haft won’t be able to interpose quickly enough to stop a thrust. The only think I could think to do in this situation that might have a shot at working, at such close range would be to snatch the left hand back and down aiming to smack into his blade and force it off course. However, even that would be a near impossible race against a sword thrust at this range. I see you taking a disabling/lethal gut wound to your left side here.
Winner by disabling blow: Joe
This was an excellent fight! I enjoyed reading it and I have to say, Kendal, you show a lot of promise with the spear. Range killed you hear as you close and try to wrestle with a huge guy. The one thing you can’t do and win is fight a battle of strength. Joe, if you hadn’t gotten the kill at the last, the force post would have nailed you. I know you know better.
