Re: Last days of freedom....
Melock takes a step back to ready himself, while Kobal bends forward to improve his centre of gravity and plants his left foot firmly back to brace himself against the impending headbutt.
Melock steps in, throwing his head forward, but perhaps because he doesn't look completely sober, his step is awkward, placing his body in a bad position to connect properly with his opponent's head.
Kobal grins in satisfaction and takes three steps back. A run up might help win on the first headbutt. Charging in, he mis-judges just how much shorter Melock is, and his forehead manages to catch only the top of the brave's head. It stings a bit, but no damage.
Round two. When it comes, however, the Raven brave's second attempt is off-centre, glancing off the side of Kobal's head.
This time Kobal decides to stay where he is, and draw his head back instead, ready to throw his back and neck forward. When his head comes crashing down, it connects with full force onto his opponent's head, sending Melock stumbling back and down. For a moment, it seems the brave is out cold. Kobal raises his arms in victory and howls. But body in the ground moans and stirs. Slowly, Melock staggers up, shaking his head clear, and stepping up for his third headbutt.
Still groggy, he steps up and grabs Kobal's head on both sides with his hands. He draws back and releases. But the contact is weak, and probably hurts Melock almost as much as Kobal.
Grinning again, Kobal wipes some spit from his mouth and stands erect, looking down on the other brave. Pulling his head back, he brings it down onto the Raven, as if seeking to hammer him into the ground. The connection isn't as good as the second attempt, but Melock staggers back clutching his head anyway.
"I have won!" declares Kobal, raising his arms again.
Now for Henal...
