Re: The Obstacle Course (OOC training and test thread)
In reply to GM (msg # 57):
Enrei was a bit upset at the toll road, no one had informed him, he might not have tried to impress the man if he'd known it was just business. but then he came to the ring, and the two men, and his face brightened, "Oh! We are fighting! This will be fun," he states as he quickly pulls the knives and axe off his belt to rest with the other weapons, and pulls off his thick vest so that he is not clothed any better than his opponents. He picks up the halfhelm and dons it, rattling the jewelry and baubles tied to his hair beneith it, then picks up the waister on the ground, considering its weight in his off-hand.
(multiple action body + martial arts to defend with sword (3x5), and using martial bonus to knockdown the guy on the right(2x10). 10,9,1,10,5,5,5,7,1)
Apparently satisfied with the sword Enrei holds it up at an odd striking angle and then, with a shout, charges straight for the man on his right. As he approaches it becomes clear the sword is not at a terrible striking angle but a competent defensive one, as Enrei keeps it cross to his opponents' own even as he brings his other arm up, aiming to slam the inside of his elbow into his target's neck and drive all of his considerable weight behind it.
