       to about 8” from my left ear the cutting edge of the axe pointed
       forward and slightly upwards. I watched you through the slots in
       the helm and waited.

       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.

       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

       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.
