======== Opening stance=========
(07:17:18 )
Pelagon
Hulneth Island GRP
is in the large main field and says to Tel'an The Sandshark: Torvie by birth I and by nature I am standing 6'5" tall and all 240lbs is ready for action. My right side is facing you to give you less of a target area, with feet shoulder width apart my right foot slightly forwards and my left slightly back for balance and support...the strap is tight under my chin to keep my northern style helmet from falling off, a 22" short sword is in it's sheath upon my back, the hilt raised a little above my right shoulder for easy access...a 2ft throwing axe be in my left hand, the head of it is close to left side of head leaning over my left shoulder, my left elbow is raised to shoulder height and pointed towards you my left hand with a tight grip of the axe handle is close to my left ear....a 3' Torvaldian round shield, wood plank cuts with rivets, metal raised boss centre with a metal band is strapped to my right lower arm and is held in such a manner to cover as much as my right side as possible from chin to upper thigh...I look towards Tel'an the look in my eyes towards him is colder than the winter driven snow. I hold him totally within my sights as I am 4 paces from him
Northern Helm
36" Torv shield on right

Tel'an The Sandshark
is in the large main field and says to Pelagon: -watching your stance a smile was born across my lips and smoothly my right foot comes back behind my left, held within my left hand is the 40 inch tall and 30 inch wide sputum shield, easily covering from my shoulder down just past my knees, the shield held before me in front, my right hand pulls the 3’ spatha from its sheath at my left hip, the spatha is brought into my right hip the tip of my sword extended across my frame to pass the inside portion of my shield, upon my head Is the Yhelm, moving closer the distance was an easy ten feet between us.- ok ready when you are... -smiles.- dont hold back....

(07:35:08 )
Pelagon
Hulneth Island GRP
is in the large main field and says to Tel'an The Sandshark: I watch you for a few moments taking note of where your weapons be and the shiled although huge will be worked to my favour, I stride towards him to close the distance to ½ pace between us, then side step to my left half a pace simultaneously I swing my shiled from my left to right and as it is swung towards your shiled I angle it so that the left rim of my shiled is towards my body and the right is closer to you, I try to swing it so that the right side of my shiled swings in behind the right side of your shiled, perhaps hitting against your left hand I am not sure…with this movement I am hoping that the momentum and power behind my shiled will now open your shiled like a door to reveal your body from behind it for a few ihns…
If this movement is successful and as I am opening your shiled I simultaneously swing my axe in an arc downwards from left to right towards your upper right arm, my aim is to cut deep into your upper arm with the blade of my axe to create as much damage as possible and with the hope you wont be able to use that arm for the rest of the spar…
Closing to 3 feet...attempted shield hook
Overhand chop at upper arm.

Tel'an The Sandshark
is in the large main field and says to Pelagon Hulneth Island G: -I saw you begin to barrel toward me from across the pits to close the distance and noticed the movement of your right held shield as you began to swing it open and smoothly drew my left foot backward so that I now stood squarely with you, your shields rim merely sweeping across the front of my shield held firmly so that It would not move, with the shield passing I noticed your axe coming downward from my right to strike at my arm, and swiftly I swipe my spatha angled slightly to my left to my right in an upward curl, my right shoulder rotating backwards as my spatha comes inside the descending axe in hopes to drive it outward and low away from my right arm.-
-with my spatha inside your axe, I step forth upon my right while making a quick right to left thrust of my spatha, in attempt to thrust the tip into the left side of your ribs.-

Pelagon
Hulneth Island GRP
is in the large main field and says to Tel'an The Sandshark: The moment your spartha is curled upwards to try and stop my axe from it’s downwards path towards your upper arm, the momentum of my shiled sweeping across the front of you shiled has stopped..instantly I step back one pace as you have stepped forwards and at the same time I swing my shiled from the right where it stopped, to my left towards your spartha… at the same time I pivot around to my left on my left foot in the hopes that the swing of my shiled will be intensified and gather more momentum as the rim of the shiled hits hard against your spartha, with the aim of knocking it off it’s attacking course to my ribs and towards your right
Hopefully you spartha has been hit towards your right so that simultaneously I swing my axe upwards then instantly down again in an arc towards your right shoulder,with the aim of cleaving your arm from the shoulder joint…after my axe as stopped I pull it towards my body and my shiled is simultaneously pulled against my body.
This is pretty solid, only thing missing is which foot you stepped back on as it would affect the way this move is done and how effective it would be.....I will say you stepped back on the left foot and then pivotted. Good defense, just lacked that extra clarity -1
You needed to step back in here to square yourself again somewaht as you right side is across in front and would make this attack hard to pull off.....the attack is a good one, just need to keep the positioning of your feet and weapons in mind as you move. Also got to be careful with movements....you have swung, then reset both weapons..... -1

A warrior comes from within
Tel'an The Sandshark
is in the large main field and says to Pelagon Hulneth Island G: -I saw the movement of your shield and you now retreating backwards three feet, and then the downward movement of your axe to my right shoulder, using my left planted foot I drew my right side diagonally behind my left thus bringing my right shoulder out of the path of your falling axe-
-and it was then that I quickly barrel in toward you to at a slight angle to come around your right side to stand head on with you at the distance of two feet, my spatha now to my low right, I quickly pumped my shield forward with the top portion angled downward to come down upon the top portion of your own shield my left shoulders rolling in with the shield to add power to it, in attempt to drive your shield low as my spatha began to circle to my right rear and around and down over my right shoulder in a steep angled thrust downward over the top portion of mine and yours, in attempt to drive my spatha down into your left collar bone.-
This works
Lot of motion in here...but only one attacking...clean attack

Pelagon
Hulneth Island GRP
is in the large main field and says to Tel'an The Sandshark: As you barrel towards me I move my left foot backwards behind me and faces my foot outwards to give me added support…as my foot is moved backwards I slightly twist my body to the left so that my right side is more angled towards you as you approach me, as you pump your shield forwards towards my shiled, I simultaneously pump my shield hard against yours and in an upwards motion, my right shoulder rolling inwards with my shiled to add extra muscle power to the shiled, I hope that as the two shields clash my shiled pushes yours slightly up or at least holds yours in place against mine
as the two shileds clash I see you pull your arm upwards to get your spartha in position to strike my collar bone, I simultaneously swing my axe… the flat side of the axe head is horizontal with the ground, the blade facing towards you, is swung from left to right towards the right side of your chest in the hope that the blade of my axe bites hard into your chest, between the 4th-5th ribs and into your lung …I pull the axe back towards my body along with my shiled
Ok, this post probably needed to be worded as a counterattack, as it is, you have not described any actual defense to His overhand strike, only to the shield push.....so in having written it as a 2 section post, with no defense to the strike in your defense section, the blow would land at full force and disable your left arm and do a lot of damage....this would normally end the fight, but we are going on points sooo...-1
As I said, needed to be a counterattack or the notice of motion of His blade to go into the defense section.....the attack is good, and would have been a good counterattack, but the wording did not allow this to work as you intended it to I think.

Tel'an The Sandshark
is in the large main field and says to Pelagon Hulneth Island G: -it did not take me long to work this one out, with my spatha coming over the top portions of our shield, I noticed your axe rising for my rib cage, my sword being in a better position to counter attack then defend, I adjust the thrust of my spatha just as it came down over our shield now pinned against one another so that my spatha would now come down deeply into the front of your throat and disable you before your axe reaches my ribs.-
-smoothly I move backward two feet hoping you’d have adjusted your attack to defend the thrust of my spatha to your throat.-(just your defense left now.)
Adjusting the attack mid stroke is ok, and a nasty strike at that, but even if you get Him, the motion of the axe will still take your ribs IMO and cause some nasty damage with a potentially fight ending blow -1
There have been discussions before about striking before te opponent to minimise the damage without actually addressing the blow, but I am one who disagrees with it for the most part unless it is an a counterattack that would directly affect the motion of the weapon ie chopping the arm off etc.

Pelagon
Hulneth Island GRP
is in the large main field and says to Tel'an The Sandshark: I see how you have changed the angle of your attack, in the position my axe may hit you but would it be in time to stop your attack to my throat, I thought perhaps not so instantly I take a pace to my right and raise my shiled upwards as you bring your sword down wards towards my throat, in the hope that your sword is deflected from it’s course of attack by hitting instead against my shiled
I doubt you would have time to avoid this completely, but the step would cause it to go off it's target some and assist your axe in it's move to your right...will allow this
