[pelagon]

I dont know Joe, Brennan scribed it and sent a copy to each of us and a copy to Erus for judgement just waiting for Erus to let us know his judgement.

Do you want it posted in the Crimson Boards, I havent posted it there cause it was a training one with Kull but if you do I will post it.

You gotta state closing the distance Man...1 step the the right isn't gonna do it.....I know you are closing to your right slightly, but you stated taking one step to cover 12 feet and...you aint big enough to do that! -1

His shield is on His right arm....so, whilst this strike is still workable.....it is unlikely to work, but it might......got to pay attention to the opponents weapons positions. -1

I dont like this at all.....all you had to do to defend His strike was lift your blade and parry His wide, simple as that....He messed up which hand you were holding your shield in and you let Him get away with it and relied on your shield being able to Be pushed over against His which is coming the opposite way, and overpowering His shield push and batting it into His weapon.......He is a bit bigger than you, but not a lot, but I still dont see you being able to stop and reverse His momentum of the shield enough to do what you are trying to here.
Even if you had simply attempted to parry the sword wide with your shield, it would have been better, but you tangled your shield with His and did nothing else to defend. I see the strike landing in your ribs and the fight ending right here.

============================

Result:

Winner by lethal blow: Kull

============================

Comments:

Pretty much as I stated above.
Kull.....you need to pay attention on where His weapons are being held, you lucked out here because of a bad defense...If you messed up like that against someone else, say Joe....you would have had an airconditioned middle....and just need to be a little clearer in movement on the opening post...you have improved a lot though...keep at it.

Pel....I will put this down to a lapse in concentration, but trying to overpower a shield push cross body is a bad idea...against someone the size of Myself or Joe....it would be completely futile....all you needed do is pull your shield tight to you, lift your blade to parry his...then open your shield to push His shield further across to your right to open Him...then your sword would be inside His and His entire front would have been a target.....keep at it Man.

=============================

ANy comments, feel free

My thanks
