Upon my head was a Y-helm; its interior lined with rolls of leather for cushioning and a sturdy strap secured it in place beneath my chin. In my left hand I grasped the 36inch double edged alar spatha, my right fist held the 18inch wooden buckler baring a 4inch spiked boss of steel. I did not appear to carry anything further. I was dressed in simple leathers, sturdy boots and a sleeveless midnight blue tunic that gave my arms the freedom I wished, and my cock was tucked away out of sight, inside the lining of my boot! I set the distance to 10ft and took a half open right leading stance. My shield centred to protect me from hip to nipples and my sword raised, parallel to my shoulders with my arm cocked backwards like a loaded piston, the tip of the sword jutting a couple of inches over the top inner rim of my shield towards your jugular.- (11:18:23 ) -------- Cernus -------- Slaver Probational of Sulport, IC - [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : I step into the arena. In my right hand I held a 36 inch spatha. It’s blade is 30 inches long and two and a half inch wide and double edged. its hilt 6 inches and I gripped it firmly in my right hand. . . It’s crossed guard extended two inches to each side. The blade is double edged with 2 inch width. I wore a Y-slotted helmet on my head and stood at 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. I faced you with a left side lead with the spatha held at a 45 degree angle to the ground with the blade angled upwards. The hilt was at my hip level. >BR> On my left arm I bore the Gorean round shield. It’s 30 inches around with a 10 inch steel boss. It was of wooden core with layers of hardened leather bound together with brass hopes. Noticing the way you held your spatha I positing it facing the spath in order to protect my jugular just in case ---ROUND ONE--- (11:25:39 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. -The Beheader- [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to -------- Cernus --------: -I noted your weaponry and nodded. A shield that strapped upon the forearm was known as an –argive grip- and generally speaking did not that bosses. Only punch grip shields had bosses. I adjusted my buckler and came at you straight on, I didn’t bother with any fancy attempts of trying to get around you – I knew that any smart man would just pivot to keep face with me anyway. My buckler and spatha never wavered from their positions and Once I came to 3ft, still in that right lead, I quickly jabbed my right fist out and down in a swift punch. I had seen you raise that shield to protect your buckler and I hoped to make the most of it by stabbing the sharp spike protruding out of my buckler, into your fist and disabling your sword hand. This was a swift jab and upon the strike, my arm would hope to begin recoiling. (11:36:01 ) -------- Cernus -------- Slaver Probational of Sulport, IC - [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : As you came forward I took a step back with a rightward move.. so that the distance be at least 4 feet. And ducked downward in time to parry the attack of the buckler with my shield …I pivoted on my left foot towards my right to save my right hand and faced you with another t2 feet behind.. waving the spatha just in case you come closer ---ROUND TWO--- (11:40:26 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. -The Beheader- [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to -------- Cernus --------: -Of course EVERYTHING I had done up until now, had been bait, a trap that you appeared to have fallen right into. I would continue to keep the distance at 3ft, by shuffling forward with you. My spatha was still high, at shoulder level with the tip extended towards your Jugular. My punch towards your sword arm had been mostly a feint, seeking to draw your shield away from my target. and as soon as the spike of my buckler thudded against the face of your shield, --- I would power my left arm forward in a straight thrust, but tilting the wrist down slightly at the last moment, with a goal of skewering the tip of my spatha into your sternum/ gullet area and dropping you dead at my feet in this devastating [counter attack] (11:50:47 ) -------- Cernus -------- Slaver Probational of Sulport, IC - [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : as you come closer I against took another step back .. I docked down parrying your spatha with mine that caused me to completely sit down. In that position I punched at your feet with my left leg a I charged forward with my shield as I get back to my feet ---ROUND THREE--- (11:56:18 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. -The Beheader- [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to -------- Cernus --------: -As you sought to punch me with your foot, I quickly back stepped, drawing my lead right side back behind my left quickly whilst my buckler returned to center on me, hopefully keeping your shield obstructed between mine and you. With a distance of 4ft now, and my position a full left lead, My spatha would have drawn back with me, but I shuffled forward now in an attempt to close the distance down to 2ft and regain a right lead, but as I was doing this, my left hand arced up and forward, like a fish leaping out of the water, only to plunge my spatha over the top of your extended shield, over your ducked head, and hopefully scraping the true edge down along your spine at the nape of your neck in this hybrid scorpion move… (12:05:18 ) -------- Cernus -------- Slaver Probational of Sulport, IC - [-Hall of Sulport-] Is within the Main gathering Hall. Surrounded by the warmth of the many blazing fires and scents of freshly cooked food oozing in from the kitchens. Gentle music dances through the air from the roaming lute players. The Hall is mostly for residents of Sulport and any uninvited guests will be stopped by the guards at the doors. says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : Holding myself forced towards you I defended your left-hand move with my shield.. My hand folded and holding the shield closer to my shoulder so that I could charge towards you with my left shoulder and the shield against you .. My right hand with the spatha pointed towards you is now charged towards your lungs hoping to pierce it to you before yours hit me ---FINAL DEFENCE--- (12:07:27 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. -The Beheader- [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to -------- Cernus --------: -I quickly punched my right held buckler out and directly towards your weapon arm, I hoped to meet your strike upon its face and use the spiked boss to guide it wide of my lungs and out to my left. This was how bucklers were designed to be used in defence, swift, direct and solid.- “Well Fought Cernus.” |

Noticing the way you held your spatha I positing it facing the spath in order to protect my jugular just in case ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spatha - 36" - right hand Y - helm Round Wood shield - 30 inches w 10" steel boss Note: Your using a shield with a boss. Usually that meant a punch grip but yours is strapped on to forarm. However, so many judges in gor dont have a clue and would never catch this. I wont deduct for this since your learning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---ROUND ONE--- (11:25:39 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. -The Beheader- [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to -------- Cernus --------: -I noted your weaponry and nodded.

This was a swift jab and upon the strike, my arm would hope to begin recoiling. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "to protect your buckler" he didnt have a buckler? unclear. However, I see what your doing, trying to spike his hand holding his weapon however, your doing this with your 'right fist' and 'out and down' would not of worked since his sword held in his right would be across your body from you. So Im assuming your right held buckler just spiked his shield he held in his left. Im not scoring this since as a regular spar so the fight continues ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (11:36:01 ) -------- Cernus -------- Slaver Probational of Sulport, IC - [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : As you came forward I took a step back with a rightward move.. so that the distance be at least 4 feet. And ducked downward in time to parry the attack of the buckler with my shield …I pivoted on my left foot towards my right to save my right hand and faced you with another t2 feet behind.. waving the spatha just in case you come closer ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whats step back with a rightward move mean? Did you mean your right foot was brought behind you? And why would you duck down to use your sheild to parry his buckler? I dont understand it and you need to describe how you moved your shield to make the parry even though in this case, it doesnt matter with his bad description of trying to spike your right fist accross your body Ok, his spike of buckler hits your shield, Im assuming your right foot is behind you now and your offense makes no sense to me and waving spatha? how. Why didnt you attack him? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---ROUND TWO--- (11:40:26 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. -The Beheader- [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to -------- Cernus --------: -Of course EVERYTHING I had done up until now, had been bait, a trap that you appeared to have fallen right into.

Tip for you though, when you shuffled forward, why not just step forward with left so the distance is 3 foot with left weapon attack? Shuffling sounds odd and you never explained which foot was leading or if at a square stance to him ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (11:50:47 ) -------- Cernus -------- Slaver Probational of Sulport, IC - [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : as you come closer I against took another step back .. I docked down parrying your spatha with mine that caused me to completely sit down. In that position I punched at your feet with my left leg a I charged forward with my shield as I get back to my feet ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok, this is really bad. Its not broken up into two parts. And you ducked down, why? and you parried with spatha, how? and now your sitting on ass? And then you punched with left leg at his feet? didnt you mean with your left foot and which foot were you punching at? why not kick at his ankle or shin? The whole thing is a mess....and then on top of that you got up and charged forward Im assuming with your shield forward towards him? Nope, his weapon lands, your dead but since mock blows, your just beaten. Cernus, if I were you, Id study others spars and see how they always describe distance, motion of shield or weapon, and foot movement. Its got to be described in detail so everyone can see exactly what your doing. Volstagg wins by mock lethal blow ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---ROUND THREE--- (11:56:18 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. -The Beheader- [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to -------- Cernus --------: -As you sought to punch me with your foot, I quickly back stepped, drawing my lead right side back behind my left quickly whilst my buckler returned to center on me, hopefully keeping your shield obstructed between mine and you.
