In my right hand, I carried a one handed 36" long sword, double-edged with its blade wide at the base, tapering for most of its length and tapered even more at the tip. I held it at a high hip level, its blade extending forth, rising slightly upward to shoulder height at its tip, with my elbow crooked. Grasped in my left hand, was a 38" tall by 28" wide oval turian shield, bought while staying here during the Love Wars. It was made with overlapping layers of hardened leather riveted together and bound with hoops of brass. Upon my head was a Common Warrior Helmet: It is a full length helmet, covering the face, ears, and upper neck. Curved, and made from bronze, with a "Y" shaped opening in front for the eyes, and nose it had a a crest plate on top showed a green bristled tail I stood in left foot lead, my right foot trailing a few feet where I crouched so the top of my oval shield extended up just past the top of my left shoulder while its lower edge was just over my left knee. I stood 12' from you 36" Long Sword Turian Shield , 38" x 28" Gorean War Helmet, Covering face, ears and upper neck with Y shape opening (04/15/14 13:02:04 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T.

I guessed the distance to be currently 12ft. This time I would be dressed quite differently than normal. I had been looking through the fighting slave gear and had taken a fancy to trying some of it out 7ft - 330lbs Arena Helm - Enclosed Head - Round Eye Sockets - Metal Curved Crest (http://www.portalofdreams.com/members/Alastor/ArenaHelm.jpg ) Fighting Slave Manica - Made of strips of thick crimson leather, overlapping from wrist to shoulder. Buckled in place beneath the opposing arm pit. 3ft Bearded Axe – 8inch cutting edge - Held near the butt. - Left Hand.

I took a -half open- right side lead, slightly bent at the knees. That shield was centered 4inches in front of me to protect from thigh to collar bone. My left arm cranked back to draw that axe over my left shoulder with that steel head hovering somewhere behind my head/right shoulder area. I gave a silent nod and waited to chop off your legs!...

Simultaneously, as my shield moved upwards and slightly to my right, the long sword in right hand was brought high and then swung down hard in a right to left motion, aimed toward the left side of your neck where it met your shoulder. I knew the sword was heavy and your shield could easily be shattered trying to defend its blows. (04/15/14 13:17:04 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. First Comes Anarchy, Then Comes Me [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to TyRen|-PRIVATEER-|Sulpor: Of course I would Never attempt a full on block against the long sword – It was only grasped in a one handed manner but I knew it held power, Instead I quickly punched my right fist across to my left in a wrapping shot, aiming not to block but to actually meet your strike halfway, slapping the inner rim against the inside of your blade and Parrying it wide to my left.... With a distance of just under 3ft now after your charge... The bearded axe was still cranked back over my left shoulder in a telegraphed chopping pose and it would perhaps seem as though I was preparing to chop at Your right side. However... -My left fist punched up and forward – lifting the head of my axe up and over my Head/right shoulder only to whip it down in a diagonal fashion. The goal was to deceive you with the telegraphed crank – which appeared to work when you moved your shield towards your right - and instead backhand the axe from my high right to low left in a backhanded chop that would perhaps cleave into Your left side neck where it meets with your shoulder, before you could reclose that opening and bring your shield back.(Kansas City Shuffle Style!)

I hoped that this would not only draw me away from your blockaded strike but also place me somewhere by your left flank.... my axe now jutting out slightly from over the top of my shield with your attack caught and your sword arm perhaps exposed... and I gave a sharp twist of my left wrist, Arcing the left held axe down – finally seeking to swipe between both of our shield as that sharpened cutting edge windmilled towards My left with a goal of cleaving into the inside of your right arm, just above the wrist (04/15/14 13:40:32 ) TyRen |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport [-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 : Counterattack: The moment you did this, at this distance of 3 ft, my turian shield was thrust outwards directly to the front of your face to blind you while i stepped in with a left foot lead to make it 2 feet and possibly to prevent you from crossing your own shield across your body as my right held long sword rose to snap wickedly downward at your lower left kidney area and slice into your side and organs and end this right now (04/15/14 13:46:28 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. First Comes Anarchy, Then Comes Me [-Arena-] Is watching a clash of steel or dancing with death upon the golden sands where heroes fall and Legends are born. says to TyRen|-PRIVATEER-|Sulpor: -My right held shield had been wrapped across my body and covering my left flank pretty much all the way through this battle now. It was already centered on my left hip. And so whilst continuing with my previous back handed swipe between our shields, I would merely pivot on the weight of my right foot to draw my left side back behind myself and way from you, hoping your still extended arm would now be missing a hand with my axe finishing up at my low left. Your strike finding nothing but the steel cone boss of my shield if you had somehow saved yourself with that counter attack.... I let my legs buckle and... Quickly fell forward into a sharp -dead drop- kneel whilst my left arm was dragging down with me in a vicious left to right swing that I hoped would send the cutting edge screaming towards the inside of your left knee and tucking in behind it with a crippling shot.

Also are you blinding yourself from seeing the big guy by raising it any higher for your own eye sight? then with a spring off my right foot then as I stepped forth with a left foot lead at about a distance of 4 feet and my left held turian shield was moved upwards slightly about a foot and towards my right about a foot with its top edge angled a bit towards me to blind you to me and to prevent that high left held axe from easily coming down upon me.

I knew the sword was heavy and your shield could easily be shattered trying to defend its blows. He is right side leading and your coming at his left side neck without navigating to flank to your right or his left to get at it. Sure I can see your more concerned with his raised left ax and not so much his right led shield and such. The reach is there average three foot arm plus three foot sword bbbuttttt....

The bearded axe was still cranked back over my left shoulder in a telegraphed chopping pose and it would perhaps seem as though I was preparing to chop at Your right side.

So your in that right side lead and trying to cross his blade further to your left/his right and you do not discuss a hip swivel or a squaring of your left with your led right and I feel like without a left leg or left hip movement to square your going to get tangled up here with yourself without a reset of your right shield in your reaction. (04/15/14 13:25:51 ) TyRen |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport [-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 : It was a fancy move that could only be done by a giant and I somewhat anticipated it when I pivoted on right foot, drawing my left foot back behind me which caused with the momentum my oval turian shield to shift with the movement as I also jerked hard its left edge towards your incoming left wrist since the shield already was high to meet it and keep the momentum of your backhand swing from moving that axe into my neck, hopefully connecting with that wrist hard enough to even break it or make you drop the axe but my intent to keep you from landing that blow THIS is the kind of pivoting I am preaching to the kajira fighters. This is almost a clean defense until you mention trying to break a wrist. I am going to say here Ladies and Gentlemen try to reserve and do not attack in your counter. If you must do this do a (br)(br) and then state at the beginning of your reaction " As the momentum of my shield block tries to applicate resistance pushing back and possibly break your wrist as I ....begin to use my OTHER weapon. Why ? because shields are weapons too and I have won many a fight with a shield because people neglect to realize they are more than just blocking. At a distance of 3 feet, I punched my left held turian shield forward now in an attempt to try and drive your left arm that was crossed in front of you back to yourself and/or delay its use effectively while my right held long sword arches clockwise from my right side and slightly downwards to try and cut the edge of my blade into your exposed upper left arm . See he could have so easily added the breaking wrist attempt at the beginning here as he continues to write about his shield in his reaction before following through with his sword. I see this attack of the sword clearly and good. We also have a time bust to contend with here. So the defense WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD MINUSSSSS the words about breaking a wrist but with the time bust it is going to allow for Volstaggs hit to land and that landing is a vital side of your body and neck even with what I believe is a bit of tangling of Volstaggs body without resetting that may work due to once again his size. So the fight would end here only because of the time bust. (04/15/14 13:33:41 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T.

Shields can lock up and then right arm could be exposed. But that's just my feelings on it.

But as Previously mentioned. (04/15/14 14:28:19 ) Eteocles says to TyRen|-PRIVATEER-|Sulpor: I still need to read the whole spar but I can tell you this. I have an issue with your counter attack. I will know for certain later after I read the whole thing but the real issue is. A counter attack is something clearly wide open to use. You chose to attempt to blind him first before you made your counter attack and that is taboo/no no for a counter attack. I am just guessing since I did not read it all yet but because you chose too try and blind him first and then make your counter attack - That event - That moment is going to tax you for the result of the spar. So by now A mock blow of Tyren is bleeding out and the fight is defintely over with a win for Volstagg. That is my view and judgement Eteocles (04/15/14 13:46:28 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T.
