| says to steel is the coinage of : | |
| 6� 9 weighing 270 | |
| Right handed 36� Long Sword with a 5� inch cross guard | |
| 36" Round Shield with a steel band along the rim, 8" spike � | |
| left hand grip | |
| Two 12" daggers one each in my right and left boot | |
| Northern Helmet: Conical shaped, with a nose-guard, that slides | |
| up and down. Attached to the helmet by iron rings is a | |
| mantle-linked chain that covers sides of my face and neck. | |
| I moved to a position which I was twelve feet from you and then | |
| I assumed my stance with my left foot is slightly forward with | |
| my right foot is half a pace behind me with both knees slightly | |
| bent for balance and support. I held in my right hand is a 36 | |
| inch sword, which is positioned along the right side of my body, | |
| with my elbow slightly elevated and the tip of my sword is aimed | |
| toward your left shoulder. In my left hand was (Punch grip) a 36 | |
| inch round Gorean shield which contained a spike in the center | |
| of the shield and the rim of the shield protected by a steel | |
| band. In my left hand, I positioned the shield so that the top | |
| rim of my shield a couple of inches from my left shoulder and | |
| face of the shield thrust forward about ten inches. Now, with | |
| the face of the shield presenting a barrier, I slightly bent my | |
| left elbow, the shield was in a position that it covered center | |
| mass of my torso with the top rim of my shield is a couple of | |
| inches from my chin and left shoulder down to the middle of my | |
| left thigh. I stood in my ready position with my shield | |
| presenting a barrier between your weapons and my body while my | |
| keen gaze locked upon you, watching you every move and ready for | |
| pursuing battle. | |
| I nodded, indicating that I was ready. | |

| says to | Be tenacious, silent, : shifting the weight onto my | |
| right foot as I kicked off into a run quickly closing the gap | |
| between us, I would waste no time and as my leading right foot | |
| hit the ground at 3� from you bending my knees slightly as I | |
| leant forward slightly twisting my torso to the left(MPOV) my | |
| shield still at center mass | |
| simultaneously my right shoulder now thrown forward as my elbow | |
| straightened bringing the axe in a lightning fast chop from with | |
| the twist of the torso, the extention of the arm and elbow made | |
| that head speed of that axe lightning fast as I aimed for that | |
| left thigh or knee | |

| says to steel is the coinage of : Watching your advancement | |
| toward me over the rim of my shield while continuously assessing | |
| the distance between us and the positioning of your weapon and | |
| buckler. I focused on your weapon and the motion which your | |
| blade was angled that was aiming for my lower torso. I pushed my | |
| shield half a foot from my body, bending my knees slightly and | |
| lowering the rim of my shield to my calf so the shield provided | |
| a barrier between your blade and my thighs and knee muscle until | |
| I heard the clang hopefully catching the blade against spike my | |
| shield. I fluidly rose out of my crouch and then... | |
| Swiftly elevating my right elbow upward while your right arm was | |
| still extended against the face of my shield, it was then I | |
| twisted my wrist so that the razor blade was exposed as I swung | |
| my sword in a right to left diagonally downward arc, thereby | |
| attempting to slice through your right wrist, therefore | |
| disabling your ability to continue with your right arm. | |

| says to | Be tenacious, silent, : you bringing your body down by | |
| you bending your knees and the movement of your shield as I | |
| swung the blade in the hopes of blocking my strike was | |
| predictable as was the diagonal strike at my wrist, well I did a | |
| whole lot of shit right here all at the same time, my shield was | |
| already in place so with a hard shove towards you angling the | |
| face so that the left rim(MPOV) would move to the right acting | |
| as a barrier hopefully so that your strike at my wrist would be | |
| blocked should my hand not have been withdrawn in time. As I | |
| shoved the buckler towards you allowing it to smack into your | |
| shield hopefully driving the right side of your shield back hard | |
| against your chest | |
| simultaneously twisting my hips and torso to the right to give | |
| more drive with the shield bash and a faster return with my | |
| right hand whipping my right arm back at the elbow and then | |
| striking horizontally from the right at about hip high in a snap | |
| wrap shot hopefully to come around your right side of the shield | |
| and sink into your ribs and side hopefully to end it there | |

| says to steel is the coinage of : | |
| As you went to shove your buckler into my shield, I began | |
| shuffling backward and to my left two feet, instantaneously | |
| punching my shield across my body right side so that the blade | |
| would be caught against the spike in the center of my shield. | |
| As your axe was still in the midlevel position, I held my shield | |
| forwarded as a barrier between our bodies, simultaneously | |
| bringing my sword from my right side of my body in a tight | |
| looping motion, I then brought the razor sharp blade of my sword | |
| downwards from my right to left descending diagonally motion | |
| hoping to slice through the your right knee cap thereby | |
| crippling any potential use of your right leg. | |

| says to | Be tenacious, silent, : as you moved back and to my | |
| right(left YPOV) by two feet I stepped forward with my left | |
| bringing me into a left lead about one foot from you | |
| simultaneously I twisted my buckler back bringing the left hand | |
| rimming back and to my left so it acted as a barrier between us | |
| I punched upwards hard hopefully into your elbow shoving your | |
| arm upwards hoping to shut down that strike and if I was lucky | |
| gouge your elbow with the spike | |
| as I saw you moving back I immediately dropped the axe letting | |
| it fall and like lightening drew the short gladius from my left | |
| hip as I stepped forward and with a low hip height left to lower | |
| right drawing slash hoped to cut across both knees as I closed | |
| to 1� from you in the hope that you would be crippled and unable | |
| to continue | |

| says to steel is the coinage of : | |
| Counter Attack: | |
| I anticipated what your reaction would be to my attack to your | |
| right knee therefore at the same moment that your buckler moved | |
| in position to parry my sword attack and strike my elbow; and | |
| with my right arm still low and between us after you parried my | |
| last attack. I twisted my wrist so the razor sharp blade would | |
| slice through your wrist while I swung my sword upward in a left | |
| to right diagonally arc, thereby hopefully slicing through your | |
| inside of your right wrist and disconnecting your hand from your | |
| arm as you initiated your attack simultaneously punching my | |
| shield down to provide a barrier. | |

| knee my shield had tried to punch that closing it down but now | |
| it was low and swinging upwards so twisting my torso and jumping | |
| back, my torso and shoulder twisting to the right (MPOV) in the | |
| hope of clearing that strike of your blade | |
