says to -------- Cernus --------: Seven foot tall, three hundred and thirty pounds fat – 36inch double edged Alar Spatha – 32inch roundshield with punch grip & 4inch coned boss. – half open right lead – Common Y-Helm - distance set at 10ft.

-I moved through the archway of the arena, leaving behind the stench of blood and sweat. Instead I found the breeze of the coming afternoon as it washed across my face. I stood upon the golden sands with my helm tucked beneath the arch of my right arm. Its midnight blue Mohawk tickled my arm pit. I took a moment to let my feral glare slice across the stands at the roaring crowd before they fixed upon you. My friend and my brother on many occasions. But in this moment you were my enemy. I would show no mercy, nor quarter. Only death awaited you. I raised my helm to secure it upon my head, the interior lined with rolls of leather for comfort as well as to compensate any absorbed blows to the head. I fastened the strap beneath the chin and started to walk further out onto the sands. I came to a stop 10ft from your direct front and took up my stance. My left hand drew the spatha free of its sheath at my right hip. I took my shield into my right fist and positioned it to protect me from thigh to collar, with the rest of me tucked in behind it. My left arm cranked up and back to coil the spatha over my left shoulder in a poised chopping position. It was slightly telegraphed, but I took up position nonetheless… “Good Luck Cernus, An Honour to fight You.” …With that said, I fell silent as the world around me fizzled out and became a blur, in the same sensation – You became an object of clarity and my soul predatory focus…

says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : I stood calmly watching You.. My frame, six feet in height with a slim build of 203 pounds
I wore a thick leather outer clothing over my tunic.. and there was a leather strap of long swords sheath from left hip to right shoulder... I wore simple boots .
I held a 47 inch long sword in my right hand its blade has a length of 36 inch. …upon My belt there was a second weapon - a short sword. I wore a Y helm and carried a 36 inch shield in left hand

Soon, I took my stance.. holding my sword at forty five degree angle the tip angled in your direction.. My feet are shoulder width apart .. knees bent a little… raising my left hand with the shield defending my body as I responded to You , ‘honor is Mine to fight You, Mighty Volstagg of Sulport” I said

says to -------- Cernus --------: -I assessed you, your weaponry, and the sands around us before moving in swiftly, cutting the distance down to 3ft and remaining in that half open right lead. My sword was still drawn back and up over my left shoulder as though poised for a chopping strike from my left to right…

However that is not what I did. Instead I punched my left fist up slightly to arc my sword over the top of my head/right shoulder area, and slash it down in a deceptive back handed strike that hoped to tuck in behind the top rim of your shield and cleave into your left side neck as it powered down from my high right to low left…. Whilst my left arm and sword were going through this motion, my right held shield was ramped back slightly to keep my path clear and also perhaps jam the bottom rim of my shield against your own, obscuring it from easy movement with a shrewd shield pin.

says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : When you came forward and stood at the 3 ft from me I took a step back making the distance between us to 4 ft.
….. I was fully focused on the movement of the sword.. and as your sword came down towards My I blocked it with My sword in an upward motion against it .. being smaller than yiou was an advantage I thought.. I took a step towards my right and soon your shield hit mine .. which pushed me backward but soonI blew my sword downward aiming to hit your knee

says to -------- Cernus --------: -I felt the bottom rim of my ramped shield smash against your own and as you swung from up high to try and come down towards my knee, I started to cross step to my right in a flash, away from your long winded attack whilst at the same time, using my already angled shield to smash up and out, driving it’s centre cone towards your fist intending to block its path and obstruct it in the wake of my getaway…

The cross step evasion allowed me to remain in my half open right lead whilst skirting your position, hopefully now around 2.5ft from your left flank, your shield pinned and your sword trapped by the coned boss. My sword however – was right where You left it, up high nearby your left side neck still from where it had been blocked. I simply powered my left arm forward in a piston like thrust hoping to run the tip of my spatha through and have it explode out of your right side neck/shoulder area.

says to -------- Cernus --------: As you moved backwards and to your right away from me, my thrust would have continued to extend out to its full reach, My shield however, felt your sword pull away from it in retreat and I quickly sprang backwards, helping you open up the distance between us whilst the bottom rim of my shield was wrapping downwards across my low left to cover up my knee and thigh just in case I did not back up to 5ft in time.

((I will consider this my final defence and we will end the spar there after two rounds – it will still count towards your probation as a full fight –nods- But Real Time has just come up that I Must attend too and unfortunately it cannot wait for me to go another round. Well fought indeed Cernus!))

short sword on belt
36 inch shield left hand
Y helm

That is a pretty long longsword. The handle is almost 10 inches long, making it a two handed sword, which might be awkward to use single handed. Try to describe your shield better as well. Is it a round shield? Turian shield? Alar shield? Torvaldsland shield? Is it a center gripped shield or is it an argive grip?

squared stance, distance still 10 feet

OK- You seem to be new to prodigy. You want to confine your defensive actions to one part of your post, the first..then separate them with two breaks, and then put your offensive actions in the second part, after the break.

Your defense could be a pretty good and effective defense if you worded it with some more detail. As could the transition into the attack. As it is, with its lack of detail, I can see what you are trying to do, but you need to state HOW you are pulling this off

You want to have your posts consist of two actions. Each action should be made up of smaller, flowing movements. The first action would be your defensive action, and you want to be as clear as you can be in describing how you would defend that particular attack. You can step back and lift your shield, crouch or duck, move to one side or the other and parry with your sword...each action is a combination of smaller actions. The same would go for your attack. You want to keep the spar flowing from one post to the next. If your sword was high in your last post, it should start this one in the same place. Or if your shield was off to one side or the other, it should still be there at the beginning of this post.

I didn't judge this on points or on disabling wounds, instead, gave Cernus a few pointers to get him started.

Cernus, if you want to keep learning, we can go a few rounds with pointers in between them to try to hone your posts into proper Prodigy style posts, and after you get the basics down, we can get more and more in depth.

Thank you Herzog for evaluating.

Your suggestion is great. Yes I want to keep learning and the idea of few rounds with pointers is wonderful. I look forward to some practice with you
