I grate my teeth and sneer after he says 'little man,' and rush into combar, attempting to strike at his hands with my wooden sword and his torso with my metal sword.

In reply to Arvak Garver (msg # 239):

Kalvo parries the shot to his hand, and takes the hit in his armored torso with a grunt, but swings down hard with his broadsword, cleaving into Arvak

[Private to Arvak Garver: I prerolled a parry and strike pairing, he is also a weapon master. Hit does 14 cutting on the swing]

Kalvo blocks the shot to his arm, takes the hit to his leg, and swats Arvak
With the side of his blade.
[PRIVATE to Arvak Garver: parry or take 12pts]

I manage to deflect his strike, but not much else...

[Private to GM: I didn't have a private message the first time he swung at me, was my parry there possible alright?
Also, I'm not sure what to do in cases of critical failure, but I figured that I wouldn't get to use my second attack after that.]

...and drops the peachwood sword

The orc arrives just in time to see the halfling drop his sword.

Good.

Maybe now the fight will be interesting.

In reply to Grend (msg # 244):

The big man sees his moment, throws up a parry, and swings in low, cleaving
(Hopefully) under Arvak's guard.
[Private to Arvak Garver: 15 pts if you fail to parry]

I manage to deflect his blade and attempt to strike his sword hand with the flat of my blade.

In reply to Arvak Garver (msg # 246):

Kalvo's wrist cracks, and too slowly, he reached for his sword as it falls.
As it clatters on the floor of the yard, Kalvo nods to Arvak.
"Well done. I should have like to work with you."

Grend claps, slowly, but doesn't actually look very impressed.

"Skirt man and hairy goatf#$&er say Kalvo pay bad." The orc folded its arms. "Is true?"

In reply to Grend (msg # 249):

"He pays room and board, and a piece of the house when we fight." says the slender man without inflection.

"Sound pretty standard," the orc reflected. "Are fights good fights?"

In reply to Grend (msg # 251):

"Some are better than others," says the man with the
broken wrist, as he collects his sword from the ground.

"I want fights."

In reply to Grend (msg # 253):

A woman turns to Grend and narrows her eyes.
"You might get a better deal with another fight organizer."

"Don't care about deal," Grend said. "Just who can get best fights. Promoter who sets up best fights. Best matches."

"We still may work together. Find me if you think my skill is needed and that people will know about it."
After not seeing Danos or Oly, I stay here to watch this scene unfold.

Seeing that the action is over, Grend departs, heading back to the guild.

In reply to Grend (msg # 257):

"Hey, what kind of fighting do you do?"

"As mercenary is fine. As gladiator is fine. As boxer is fine. As wrestler is fine. Fight to death, fight to knockout, fight for points, is all fine. Full contact, no contact. For sport or for real, is all fine, as long as opponent is strong."

He considered. "Only fight with fists and feet and elbows and knees, but if opponent is weak and needs knife or stick or whatever to be challenging, that okay too. Recommend they give up crutches and master the true art of fighting, but that their choice."

In reply to Grend (msg # 259):

"Come with me to the guild, and all of you who would rather fight for
 someone who can pay you."

Grend shrugged, following the lady.

In reply to Grend (msg # 261):

Kalvo shakes his head.
"You work for the Ogre. I don't know what he has left me. See me
tomorrow if you are serious."

In reply to Kalvo Tvasi (msg # 262):

continued in several places, including
Robbing Kalvo
