Pelagon

GRP

is within the large field and says to Arako KatocCourting Soph: I stand at 6ft 4ins weighing in at 240 pounds, upon my head is a typical Y slotted helm strapped tightly under my chin, I offer up my right side towards you, my left foot is half a pace behind me and turned outwards a little to lend balance and support, my right foot a little forwards with both knees slightly bent. My 3ft wooden round shield typical Torvie design, slatted wood held together with iron banding and a rounded metal bosk in the middle is gripped within my right hand and covers from my chin to upper thigh. I wrap my fingers around the hilt of my 22inch short sword then pulls it from its tharlarion hide finely crafted sheath upon my back, I hold the blade slightly angled towards the ground, left elbow raised shoulder height, outer left lower arm facing towards me. The haft of a 2ft throwing axe is pushed between my left hip and weapons belt, the bearded axe head is 6ins wide and is steel moulded over an iron base and is razor sharp, it sits comfortably in position. I stand 4 paces from you as I look towards you, watching you every move.

is within the large field and says to Pelagon GRP: I stand 7'5", 290 lbs, with My left side presented to You, a 7' long Gorean spear held near the middle with My right hand gripping nearer the butt, the blade aimed at Your right shoulder, eyes narrowed knowing that you'd be tough to deal with without the everpresent shield I usually fight with, but hopefully the extra reach of the spear I now hold would help with that. I have My right foot angled off to the outside, and slightly bent over to offer less of a target for You, and hopefully increase My mobility and deadliness.

Pelagon

GRP

is within the large field and says to Arako KatocCourting Soph: I watch you prepare for battle, seeing you only armed with a spear I think this spar will be an interesting one, I start circling left around you, moving closer as I do, my shiled is held close to my body, raised a little to cover my right shoulder, the top rim of shiled is pointed outwards just a little and the right rim of my shiled is towards my body as I move towards you...suddenly when I am within 5ft of you I pump my shield as hard as I can towards your spear, at the same time I close the distance to within 3ft of you in the hopes that if my shiled connects with your spear your spear will be pushed backwards and out of the attacking position…

simultaneously I thrust downwards towards your right shoulder attempting to massacre your right shoulder with my blade as it enters your body…the natural recoil of the attack causes my sword to come back towards me..

is within the large field and says to Pelagon GRP: I follow Your movement around Me, and when I see Your shield beginning to open for it's punch attack I snap My right hand upwards, making the head of the spear dip downwards until it's aimed at Your right (presented) knee, and thrusts it forward in a savage thrust attack aimed to sever Your leg before Your attack ever has a chance to get close to Him

Counter-Attack

Pelagon

GRP

is within the large field and says to Arako KatocCourting Soph: As I start the punch out of my shiled I see your intent with your spear, the punch towards your spear should still work (imho) but not chancing that it does, I jerk my right side backwards with lightning speed, the momemtum I had going works a little against me and I slightly lose my balance as I jerk my right knee out of the path of your spear, I ram my shiled downwards as fast as I can in the hope that as you jab the spear towards my right knee, my shiled will deflect your spear downwards towards the ground

my right foot is now behind me and pointed outwards a little to help maintain my balance, when your spear is hopefully deflected downwards, I thrust my sword towards your mid chest with the aim of the blade moving between your 3rd and 4th ribs and straight into your heart hopefully to decimate it..

is within the large field and says to Pelagon GRP: I push with My right hand outwards on the spear's butt, making the head flash to the left, now moving in a deadly slash towards Your left shin, the shield undoubtedly dropping it some before it reached it's unmoved target, hoping to once again force You back before Your attack lands

Counter-Attack

Round 3:

GRP

is within the large field and says to Arako KatocCourting Soph: I jerk my shield downwards again with lightning speed, in the hope that it is covering all my lower body, shins included, simultaneously, getting a little sick of this pesky spear I think it be time to hurt it, with that aim in mind, I bring my sword back and upwards, then slams the razor sharp edge downwards towards the shaft of your spear in the hope that the momentum and weight that is driving my sword downwards will sever the shaft of the spear or at least knock it from your hand

as soon as the momentum of my sword slows, I pull it back and instantly thrust it hard towards your upper right thigh, in the hopes of causing carnage to your thigh, muscles, tendons, arteries…the recoil of the thrust brings it back towards me a little..

is within the large field and says to Arako KatocCourting Soph: As I am pulling back my sword I see you twisting your left side from me I pull the sword closer to my body and raise my shiled upwards fast so that it covers from my nose downwards over most of my torso, with the right rim of my shiled angled towards my right side in the hope that when you snap the shaft of your spear towards my neck it will encounter my shiled instead and be deflected towards my right side.

closing to the left to 5 ft, the shield positioning is good but put something in there about presenting an angled face off to my right.. then you close to within 3ft and try to push his spear back. It is FAR EASIER to parry ti off to your right side with the angled shield face the to push it back. He is 7’5” 290 pounds. –1

What is it you thrust down to his right shoulder and the blade enters. Thrust is a forward motion. Striking downward is a high to low slash..Right shoulder where? Front where the shoulder and pectoral meet?

Nice counter attack. I allow it because of you saying seeing your shield move. That is 5 ft out and enough time to dip and attack. [/color]

Closing and doing the right side jerk to clear yourself will unbalance you some indeed. Pushing the shield downward along with the body movement. I will allow the defense though.

Due to your defense would you be able to close within the 3ft you stated earlier. You thrust toward his mid chest and since your left facing stance, left held blade I will allow the attack. Be sure to mention distance here because that defense would most likely stop you in your tracks. The obscure point is woul dit stop you at the 5 ft mark or 3 foot mark. I give you the benefit of the doubt.

OK

OK

Counter-Attack

He used his shield to push your spear down and that would be out toward his right some, your left since your last counter was for the right knee. He then thrust his left held blade into your mid chest area. You didn’t address the shield push to your spear nor describe how the spear came back out the way for a left shin strike.

I see the chest shot beating the shin strike,….Fight ends with killing blow.
