Glitch'nich Amthrmil lived in the mountains with his uncle. He never got along with his uncle well but his uncle was a good teacher, and the only teacher that Glitch'nich really cared to listen to. Him and his uncle had left the grey elf camps, being entirely tired of the rest of their race, and moved to their own secluded mountain, because indeed they were the greatest Grey Elves of them all. Knowing this, they grew tired of the rest of their race quickly, completely engrossed by their arrogance and superiority over the rest of their race.
Durring the evening hours and all through the night Glitch'nich and his uncle took turns keeping an eye out for the giants that continually invaded their territory trying to get a foot hold on the mountain, and durring the night hours these attacks were usually increased.
They took turns meditating for 4 hours at a time and watching for enemies. Glitch'nich was tired of living this way but he needed to stay and finish his training in the art of magic.
One day as Glitch'nich was getting near the end of his training he decided enough was enough; he hated these giants and was tired of the constant battles he had to endure to live on the mountains. His uncle was getting to be too old to hold these mountain tops anymore and enough was enough it was time to move.
He didn't really give his uncle a choice in the matter, he just packed up all their belongings and told him they were leaving.
His uncle stood there for a while in awe of the arrogance that stood before him telling him what he was going to do. Realizing that his nephew was right, he went along.
Glitch'nich didn't have any idea where they would go, but he was determined to go somewhere a bit more peaceful so his uncle could enjoy the rest of his life in a bit of peace.
They traveled for a long time on horse back looking for a suitable place to live and couldn't find one... Glitch'nich decided they would put up aloof a small town and put up a magical barrier to disguise a large tree as nothing more than a tree, and put up a house there for a while.
They lived there for the next century watching the town grow and thrive, playing Vigilante Knight of the Realm with the towns folk whenever trouble arose, yet remaining unseen. until his uncle died.
With his uncle dead and no one else left to trust but himself he decided it was time to wage war against any evils he could find on Layonara, big, or small, he would crush them, all by himself if he had to because he was the best elf for the job if there was any.

I have spent some time learning alchemy from an elf named Eghaas Treebringer, and he has taught me well, as I am now able to make potions that heal my wounds and I do not need to purchase them from the local temples.
I have met many that serve my Lady, Lucinda, and have been able to keep the company I travel with full of Lucindites.
Talia, and Storold have to be my favorite company for traveling as they are very knowledgeable of the area, the tactics of combat, and keeping their parties alive.
They have proven to me they are great warriors, and thinkers despite the fact they are not Gray Elves.
I have not found another of my Kin on Mistone, I long for the beauty of a Gray Elf to look upon, although I have met a Sea Elf whom I find attractive.
I have aided a man named Remus, a man of the forest, he has shown me how he can talk to the animals Similar to how my people talk with the birds, and how they can aid him and befriend him if he treats them right.
I wish to learn this skill of the woodsman, or Ranger as he has called it.
I have taken many on tours of the area to show and reinforce mine own knowledge of Mistone, and to feel more like a man of the woods. Some have even told me I act like a Ranger, though a lowly wizard I am still.

I have watched one named Jaachri in combat and his skills were uncanny... I wish to be more like this mage. He seems to have the abilities of a Ranger as well, and I shall pursue this path.
I have started teaching one named Hoodman the elven language, a few times a week he comes to me for lessons and for this teaching he has taught me new spells.
He is catching on quickly for a human, we'll see if he can endure the elven language.

I miss the griffins of my homeland, I miss the mountains, but I shall not return there for adventure is far to appealing.

To make the meeting even more pleasant I discovered she is also a follower of Lucinda, Lady of Spells, and a protector of the weave. Similar Deities and a similar purpose, could fate play any more games today?
She showed me around a bit, and took me to the Leringuard Arms for a tour and possible place to live. We then set off to see the second temple of Lucinda i've been to.
I had a lovely time with Eruanna, and I hope our paths cross again.
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on January 31, 2008, 10:37:20 PM
I approached Im'tiau, and held out my hand, and sure enough he did the same. If nothing else I got a taste of another culture, barbaric as it may be.
We set off for Krashin. I had been there before so I knew what to expect for weather, and I knew my way around a bit.
We arrived on the shores of this freezing winter wonderland and immediately started a fire to stay warm as long as we could while we discussed tactics and maneuvers that would aid us in this task.
Shortly after arriving, we were joined by Oskar, who was apparently looking for his party, but they had already gone.
We invited him to join us.
We started out mining alexandrite, and accomplished our task. No one really got too hurt and the trip was actually pleasurable despite the cold.
We headed back to the fort to warm ourselves and Oskar and Im'tiau departed our company.
We decided to go for the sapphires with just the three remaining party members, Chakar, Rolan, and myself.
We started out and it was one bloody battle after another, we didn't know how far we would make it but we were getting closer each minute and decided to keep going.
About the second regression into the cave we nearly lost Rolan, and our supply of potions was wearing thin. Stubborn as we all were we continued on our way.
Three levels deep now and almost to our goal we hit the bloodiest battle of them all...
I had all of my protective magics at work as well as Chakar's, but they just kept coming at us.... without mercy. I called apon the weave and Lucinda to aid me with a summon spell I had learned. My archon was indeed too late with his flail, for Chakar had fallen. I dumped a healing potion into his mouth but it was too late. Now I was taking hits, and my Archon friend had taken off towards enemies farther off than I had told him to fight... keeping them at bay, I stood behind Rolan and dumped every last potion into his helmet hoping he would drink every sip till my potions were gone but alas he fell.
I ran like a coward back 15 paces and cast invisibility on myself... but i was seen by them and they followed my foot prints in the snow as i left them shooting their arrows where they knew i was. Again i cast invisibility hoping to shake them but they were not going to be fooled.... I ran up to the second regression in the cave and headed for a door i had seen, taking arrows in my stoned skin every step of the way.... I knew if i stopped i was dead... I ran through the door and closed it behind me.... I hasted my feet and ran as fast as i could...
I heard the door i had closed open again, I knew i needed to make tracks fast... I quickly ran a few circles to hide my direction of travel and quickly headed out of the cave...
I had made it, but just barely, and both of my friends had fallen.
// not sure how to describe someone walking around ghostly after death but here goes nothing.
I made my way back to camp, where I met Chakar, he looked like he had walked through the nine hells.
He asked for my assistance in praying where he last died.
I shamefully told him I was sorry for not being able to aid him more.
He said it was no big deal and we traveled with haste invisibly back to where he fell... We came across a man named Trenton. Lucky for us.
Trenton helped us back out of the cave safely.
We thanked him for his help and went back to the Scamps mug for a few drinks.
Rolan was there, and we split what coin and treasure we had found, before Rolan retired for the night.
Chakar and I sat there for a couple of hours discussing our various abilities, and I decided to ask him about his training.
// conversation follows:
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: that cream ale any good?
Rolan Tennesen: not bad *wipes mouth*
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: *grins*
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: brewed it myself
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: so it shouldn't taste horrible *chuckles*
Rolan Tennesen: did you? *looks at the empty bottle*
Rolan Tennesen: where are the hops from?
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: yes
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: from Alindor, the place is a dwarven fortress of sorts. called Bloody Gate
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: it grows just behind the inn
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: I also have found some growing at Vale on Dregar
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: I think there's one other place as well on Dregar.. but I can't remember it just now
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: so you cook and brew as well... what don't you do?
Rolan Tennesen: *pushes self up* i'd best get some rest
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: heh, I don't dabble with gems all that good
Rolan Tennesen: need to rest up for more work
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: and I have just started tailoring
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: yes, take care Rolan!
Rolan Tennesen: *staggers out, waving*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: aye i've just started both of those as well
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *waves*
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: these robes I made myself
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: just plain cotton..
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: I made a sling
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *laughs*
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: *grins* oh, I've also made gloves from bat skin, they should protect a little against some high pitched sounds
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: ah, so a bit of leather working as well, haven't attempted that myself, been working on the healing potions mostly
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: yes, that is what I do myself at times, but the bloody things run out quite quickly on a warrior's career *smirks*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: aye, I've been thinking of taking some classes in fighting myself
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: if i could find a teacher
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: thank you by the way for those light healing potions you have been throwing to me
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: oh, no problem.... it's hard for me to watch you bleed and me to stand there unharmed while you suffer
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: **nods*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: I wish i could fight, i have a sword but i don't hit hard enough nor enough to matter most of the time
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: Rolan gave me this gem, all covered in muck. would you like to have it?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: **shows his long sword*
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: ah, a nice blade that. iron?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: Aye, i wouldn't mind it, yes, Iron with electrical enchantment
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: *hands him the rock*
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: may it be a diamond *chuckles*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *takes the rock* if it is i will be very surprised.. had many of these turn up greenstone
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: oh, I did enchant a gem, too. a greenstone *grins*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: ever found a diamond in one of these?
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: no, not really. but greenstone ain't all that worthless either, the dust is quite handy
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: and I think the cantripical wands take an enchanted greenstone
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: aye, can't make bandages or potions without em
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: I think clerics of varying faith make healing potions from plain water
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: but.. I suppose that's one of their personal tricks
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: blessings from their gods probably
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: I think so too
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: hmm, have you any pepper on you?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: no, i've never seen any pepper
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: I need some to make this polar
bear chunks into a delicacy *grins*
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: hmm
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: *rubs his beard*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: where did you study your fighting?
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: oh, my people's warriors taught me how to handle weapons and how to move in armor
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: I was actually a low-ranked guardsman for some time
I though for a moment about the fighters i'd heard about listening to talk around Hempstead, called duelists.
I knew that if i was going to become a duelist I would need to be able to handle a sword, like a fighter does at least... my magery training wasn't going to give me these skills... so I asked my friend for some help...
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: I've heard of people called dualists, i'm thinking of becomming one
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: and a hunter, and a gatherer *chuckles* good times
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: I think I've heard of that battling style
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: very finessed
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: Something i'm good at, I'd like to try it
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: seems graceful and relaxing, meditative almost
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: that and a warrior's career as well?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: I get tired of being unable to assist much on the front line
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: **nods with a smile*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: and watching people fall... like today, then running like a coward
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: nothing to be ashamed in that
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: only a fool charges to an impossible foe
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: I enjoy protecting people, but i wouldn't mind stepping in to let someone run and heal
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: even if only to parry the enemies blows long enough to save a life
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: **nods*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: aye, i've seen such fools
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: hmm... **puts his hands behind his head and leans back in his chair, thinking of something*
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: I could teach you how to handle a blade of your choice, if you would pay me for my time
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: You would?
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: yes, I think so
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: How much would you charge?
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: well, I don't want to rob you *grins*
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: what could you afford, would be a good question
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: I could pay you around 3000 a month // RL week
Chakar Achmed El'Mujahir: that sounds very good to me
I was delighted and we set off in search of our greenstone, our third stop of the day.
With one successful trip and one failure, we continued on our journey.

Chakar needed oats, and the only way to get them was to take them from the ogres that were hoarding them.
So we prepared for battle again.
I let Chakar start the fights, as he is a well trained fighter.
Once the battle began I thought what a perfect opportunity to get in a few swings while he holds their attention and parries their blows.
I managed a few hits, it was very exciting to watch them fall from up close as opposed to far away as i usually do, and my blood was rushing through my veins as never before... I actually enjoyed the excitement... though i'd have been dead without Chakar there to keep their blows from me.
We finished gathering oats and headed for the camp near Hlint for some well deserved rest and reflection.

Meeting with her is always pleasurable, she is such a sweetheart.
I went out to the lake and studied them as soon as I received them.
The list of spells I have written in my book and can recall is growing to a respectable size anyone would admire.
Between Brother Fenris (Lucius), Storold and Elohanna, I shall be able to complete my book.
It is a great day indeed, the only thing that remains to be done this day is to seek out my teacher and train with the new rapier i've purchased.

With nothing to do but sit around and be idle, it looked like time to use the mind. I headed off to Leringuard, a city I am beginning to like, to test my strategy and compete with Wyatt.
He sent his minions strong and hard at me for the first five games. His strategy seemed unbeatable, taking much of my gold I deemed it necessary to find another opponent to warm up my idle mind.
Alton, leader of the undead.
I challenged him, and his evil army to a duel.
I gained enough gold from his sinister team to take on Wyatt once more... Victory.
I raised enough money to pay for my training as a fighter.
Now all I needed was to find one. *grins to himself*
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on February 02, 2008, 09:34:10 PM
I sat on the benches for quite some time, looking around and watching the guard patrol.
Soon a man I surely have met before came walking past... I found out his name was Sebastian, and indeed we had met before.
I asked him his profession after noticing his garb was that of a warrior of some kind.
After finding out he did fight with a sword I asked him to train me and offered him an un-resistible sum of gold for the training.
Alas he agreed and off to the arena in Vehl we went.
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on February 02, 2008, 10:19:11 PM
Sebastian shows me around the arena, noting the healer along the side wall... knew i was in for trouble about then.
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on February 02, 2008, 10:21:07 PM
We stood head to head in the arena as Sebastian told me a thing or two about what was going to happen, explained a few things to me about holding a blade, types of blades and what they were good for.
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on February 02, 2008, 10:24:51 PM
We fought on, rapiers ripping the air around us, the sound of grunting heard through out the arena as we both threw our swords at each other.
Almost every swing I threw at him was a miss, swords smashed together, sparks flew but I couldn't hit the lad.
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on February 02, 2008, 10:28:13 PM
Thrashing about as much as I could, I was no match for him.
A few quick well placed blows and he had me on the ground.
Yet I begged for more.
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on February 02, 2008, 10:31:33 PM
"Another go, Another weapon!" I told him, I must beat you.
I pulled out my scimitar, and swung with all my might... this time I landed a few.
"Ha! I'm learning" I told him.
He grinned.
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on February 02, 2008, 10:33:39 PM
Learning perhaps, but not enough...
"Try to parry my blows." he said, "push my sword out of the way as i try and hit you."

To no avail.
Mess with the master and get beat...
This time he tripped me up good...

Having enough bruises to last me a month it was time for rest.
We sat at the Scamps Mug talking with Salles, and drinking ale for couple of hours.
Fighting without magic is proving difficult indeed, but i shall continue in my quest to become a fighter.
With Sebastian, and Chakar training me, I think I will be successful.
A duelist I shall strive to become... and a duelist I shall be.

Worked nicely in my opinion *grins*
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on February 12, 2008, 11:37:59 PM
I found out that he had been beaten badly by some lizard folk in the black dog moors.
I decided to help him get back to where it happened, and we departed right away.
After we passed through Haven, we ran into Chakar, one of my buddies and fellow Lucindite, who decided to join us.
He asked how my training was going, and offered to continue it.
We took to the moors swords drawn and spells at the ready.
We fought the lizard men bravely and took a few of the will o wisps with them.
Chakar was impressed with my fighting skills even as a wizard.
After getting Fianon to his grave we left, and Fianon went on his way.
Chakar and I went to the Arena in Vehl to continue my training as a fighter.

a mission to restore health
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on January 06, 2013, 12:31:05 AM
Last time I was here I told you about a fighter, his name was Chakar. Chakar taught me well the ways of the fighter, and now after 5 seasons
I feel more comfortable at the front or the back of any party of adventurers. While this was an interesting time for a wizard like myself, I feel I
have grown tremendously from the experiences. I have even saved a few lives journal.
This visit will be much like the last visit and I will tell you large unbelievable tales.
I spend most of my time venturing with a lovely lady named Talia, she, like me, worships the godess Lucinda.
We travel the lands lighting the way with the blessings she has given us.
My recent travels have taken me to the lands of Dregar.
Giant men walk the lands there, filling the deserts, the forests and the caves. They take what they want and leave little for
anyone else in the area.
A small group of us took a journey there just recently to mine for topaz and silver. Rasa, Talia, Grog, Ausir and a few others ventured into the cave.
We found large groups of giants singing and dancing around their fires, unaware of our presence. We stormed their merry folly under the names and
flags of many different gods, claiming some topaz for ourselves. We did not know that one of our party had fallen behind and gotten himself lost in the cave.
Down deeper into the cave we went, hoards of giants, throwing great parties in the name of their evil gods. We soon found out what had happened to our companion
the giants were roasting him over one of their fires. We took great vengence on them that night, and ceaned out their silver.
I had already begun to like the sword, journal, and my thoughts were to become a greater swordsman.
The search for a duelist had begun.
I searched, high, and low, far, and wide, hearing only rumors of great men dueling with swords, but meeting none.
I thought about giving up for a while, crossing the lands many times with no results started getting to me, and I found myself gambling and drinking
my life away. Then one day, I was looking about Maraners Hold. I searched every building there, looking for anything interesting to take my mind off
of things. I found nothing, until I decided to open that last door.
Pushing open the door, I walked inside, it appeared there was no one around, so I started poking around to see what I could find.
I had no idea the answer to my prayers was just around the corner.
I saw several very comfortable looking couches and chairs sitting in an area, so I decided since no one was there, I would relax a while and dream.
I started walking around the corner towards the couches, and just as I was about to sit down, I heard talking.
Then I noticed I was not alone.
Elohanna was sitting there on the floor entertaining someone.
I quickly appologised for the intrusion and headed out.
I had not recognized her, and did not want to be rude.
She called out for me to stop, and welcomed me to the inn, and that's when I realized I knew her.
She showed me around the inn, and especially the game room. I plan to learn to throw darts there.
I came to find out the mans name was Ty Reid-Dragonheart.
I tried out one of the gaming chairs and found them quite comfortable. We took up a spot on the floor and I passed out some drinks.
Durring our conversation I let out that I was looking for training in the ways of the duelist, and only finding dead ends and tall tales.
We drank dwarves head ale, and nearly passed out. Our conversation continued and we tried to talk despite the slipery tongues.
Elohanna told me that Ty was a duelist and after a bit of conversation we had set up a time and place to begin my training.
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on January 06, 2013, 02:18:39 AM
I left for Fort Vehl.
When I arrived at the arena, I was greeted by a lady that called herself Merisa, and she warmly welcomed me back to the arena. I remember being there once before with Chakar.
Merisa - Arena Hostess: You look familiar...I think. Welcome back to the Fort Vehl Arena
I looked around for Ty but I didn't see him, so I wandered around the arena for a while.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *spot check*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: Spot Check: 5 + 1 = 6
Finally after looking around the whole arena I heard some noises coming from the training area, and decided to check it out.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *critical hit* : (18 + 18 = 36 : Threat Roll: 10 + 18 = 28)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *hit* : (11 + 13 = 24)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *hit* : (12 + 8 = 20)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *miss* : (1 + 8 = 9)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *miss* : (1 + 18 = 19)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *critical hit* : (19 + 18 = 37 : Threat Roll: 4 + 18 = 22)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *hit* : (16 + 13 = 29)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *hit* : (3 + 8 = 11)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *critical hit* : (20 + 18 = 38 : Threat Roll: 6 + 18 = 24)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *critical hit* : (20 + 13 = 33 : Threat Roll: 2 + 13 = 15)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *miss* : (1 + 8 = 9)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart attacks Practice Dummy : *hit* : (16 + 18 = 34)
I watched him from a distance at first, he was spinning, and flipping, and jumping over his target, poking it from all directions. His movements as fluid as a stream over the stones. Looking down at my hands holding two swords, I noticed that he did all of these things using only one.
I walked up trying not to disturb him practicing and watched for a short time until he turned around.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *waves*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Thought I heard someone *sweating*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You ready?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: sorry i'm a bit late, was cleaning my toes with some vines in the goblin caves, and my shield wore off.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Cleaning your toes.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *grins* Whatever you say.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: never tried it?
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Usually avoid 'em.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *smiles*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Got a weapon?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i'm never ready, but i seem to stay alive
I pulled out a great sword as a joke, he wasn't impressed.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Bit big.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You want to duel, you're gonna need a lighter weapon.
I pulled out my rapier.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So, first thing my old master taught me is fight smart.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *listens*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: When you're unarmored and using what folks call a pig-poker, you gotta be smarter than the opposition.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *chuckles*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So you look for weak spots. You listen for creaks and snaps.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You pay attention and use whatever you got and they don't.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Cause this? *pats his clothes* Doesn't do much to stop....anything.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So, not much a dummy can show you about that, pretty much gotta get in the ring.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So, let's get in there.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You use both hands?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: usually
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Handy to use both, you have twice the options for sticking someone.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So, I have weaknesses like anyone else, watch me fight and exploit them. You have to be really aware of what the other person is doing.
I pulled out my fan from my packs and waved it about in my right hand.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: A fan?
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Seriously? *grins*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: indeed
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Ah, seen those.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Right, so....ready?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: ready.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: And....*nods* Go.
We started throwing blows.
I started out, thinking I could best him.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *chuckles*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *slides in two fast hits*
I was wrong.
He stopped assulting me with his blows, and offered me a hand.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: bad start
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Rest up.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You weren't expecting me to start, so I took advantage.
Grabbing my sides, I stood back up.
Taking my best fighting stance, we continued.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Ready?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *stands in fighting stance*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Go
This time I parried several of his attacks.
Blades were swirling through the air with swift speed, then clanging together like bells, throwing small sparks as they hit.

Glitch'nich Amthrmil: thanks

Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Was watchign though.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Got you on that last riposte, you left yourself open.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i see
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *brushes himself off* again?
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Again.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: And, go.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You got some good training, I get the feeling fighting's still kind of new to you.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: indeed, but i cheat
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *grins* How's that.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i use everything to my advantage, like you were saying
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Then advantage up.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: let me meditate
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods*
I limped my way to the side of the arena, and put a few early bandages on, then I took a moment to clear my mind.
I memorized several of the spells that I normally pray to Lucinda for when i'm fighting greater adversaries.
I walked back to the arena, holding my side in agony, but enjoying every minute of it journal.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Ready?
I nodded and took a fighting stance.
This time I started the fighting, but to no avail, he was ready for me.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *twists and doges*

Glitch'nich Amthrmil attempts Riposte Attack on Ty Reid-Dragonheart : *miss* : (10 + 9 = 19)
Then he did something that i've never seen anyone do before journal.
He put his sword hand down just a little bit, and I thought i had him, but just when I tried to stab at him
he lunged at me, using my free arm he locked it with his and over my back he went. I lost sight of him.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart begins to perform an Acrobatic Attack.
That was a hard lesson to learn as I took one in the stomach, and fell to my knees.

Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *moves back, then lunges*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: nice move there
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: I'll teach you that one later.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *gasps for air*
I stood back on my feet, and brushed my knees off.
Without looking he took two steps forward.
All I saw was a blur of motion as every limb became a weapon and he spun around and hit me with all of them.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: And this.

Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Not too useful against one but great when you get swarmed.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i can see the use for that
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i get surrounded often
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Useful then, yeah.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Alright. First thing, you're stancing.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Gotta move around more. You're unarmored.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: yeah usually i hit them a few times and move somewhere else
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: or stick em in the side while the great swords take hits at them
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: and then heal the great swords
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: and get em in the other side
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: * he dances out mimicing his motions in combat*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You block great, so follow through - strike right after when the block is still registering. *nods, grins at the elf speaks* That works too.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Again.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *stays light on his feet and waits for Glitch*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *taps Glitch's blade*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *taps his blade again*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *is loose, not planted, waiting*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *again watches the casting*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *trying to match sounds and gestures to effect*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *mumbles some words and does some gestures* sometimes i use those to intimidate my enemy, but i know they aren't intimidated
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods* Some will be.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: so i do it and watch them watch back
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: I'm trying to learn more about magic.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: and then they usually charge me *chuckles*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: magic was fun to learn once, now that i know it, as you can see even the small amount i know
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: has it's benifits
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Not going to be good at it, just want to understand it better.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: mind if i try something?
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *feints a hit*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Go ahead.

Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i have a lot to learn as a fighter
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: the most important lesson so far has been, have a real swords man with you
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: always
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: haha
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *grins*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i have a fake one
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Yeah, I prefer to be in the back.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i can go where he goes
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: but for a dog he is not very loyal
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Who's that?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i don't know his name exactly, the al'noth is used to ask for him
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Oh....you call him? LIke a summon?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *shrugs* could be a different being each time i suppose, dog men all look the same to me
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: indeed
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Weird. My father can call an archer.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: interesting
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: you should show me that sick move that put me on my knees again, that was really cool

Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Practice.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: With just that. *taps the rapier*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: my casting can get in my way sometimes
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: and sometimes holding my shield will disrupt my casting
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Shield?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i didn't know that using an offhand sheild or sword would disrupt my concentration
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Oh, yeah.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: I don't bother.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: so indeed i've been sometimes using a sheild
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: heavy junk
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: I like having one hand free, you never know when you can grab something to toss or just knock 'em off balance.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: And if one arm gets hit, just switch hands
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You want to try with the fan?

Glitch'nich Amthrmil: indeed
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Too light for me, but wicked in close.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: sometimes it gets in the way
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: in the thick of it i prefer just the sword
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Be a nice backup weapon for a woman though.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: indeed, i shall find you one for training me
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Hey, thanks.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: you can do what you want with it
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So you get the gist of this, fight smart. Move when you have to.

On my way back to Center I found myself standing in front of Ulkazzar, a quiet fellow I just met. I asked him if he wanted to go out on adventurous travels and he agreed. We continued to Center and prepared for our journey.
Feeling daring I decided to venture into the cave near the purple mushrooms.
I felt that without a doubt i could take down one of the golems that dwell inside.
We walked to the cave, and were ambushed by gnolls before we could get inside. With a few tricks, we managed to defeat the pack of gnolls and went inside the cave.
Being unprepared was costly as I was still holding my sheild, and hadn't realized it before I started preparing for the next few hundred feat into the cave.
With my hands cluttered I failed in several attempts to call upon the al'noth.
I told Ulkazzar that if we ventured any further in our current state, we'd most likely die.
We went back to Center to think about our mistake, and try again.
It surely was not my day for casting spells, and with a few more mistakes I was right back where I started on yet the second attempt. Ulkazzar didn't seem to mind, and the spiders had left the cave, apparently from hearing all the noise we were making and thinking us some other beast. Heading down the slope of the cave we found it narrowed to a single file width. Walking behind Ulkazzar we went to the end of the narrow passage. Peering around I saw our prey. I attempted to only let one of them see or hear me, and hoped it wouldn't alarm the others, but instead come curiously my way to investigate.
Alas, the entire room fell upon us as we pulled back into the narrow passage.
I tried as I could to hold them back, but I fell regardless.
As I pondered my last demise, the thought of more training was clear.

After making dozens of potions, I went out again to practice what i'd learned from Ty. Sticking to smaller opponents I went out gathering herbs, and weeds to make potions.
Post by: WarriorOfTheLance on January 06, 2013, 05:27:11 AM
Liliah, Ausir, myself, and some others went to free the animals of the forest from the clutches of the evil giant men of dregar.
Arrows whizing by our heads, fireballs crashing down on us, the hot desert sun bearing down on our armors, cooking us alive. Huge clubs smashing into the sand spraying it all around like huge gusts of wind, bare skin burning from the sting as the sand burrows deep. We passed the first few tents, and started to regroup. Another round of fireballs came from the distant trees across the pools of sun warmed water. We cleared the area, and all was quiet.
We decided to keep on our heading and arrive in Audria shortly. Just as we cleared the trees, and started up the hill we were ambushed by a giant hiding in a tent. Liliah was at the tail end of the party and she fell before any of us knew what was going on.
Somewhere in all of that confusion I managed to lose all of my topaz dust.
I did not realize I had lost any of it, and my next casting of stone skin failed.
Today started out pretty fast journal. I was invited to go along into the Brech mountains. I accepted because I needed to get more topaz.
All along the way hairry ape like men tried to stop us. Attempting to get close enough to attack one of them I noticed how cold the beast was. Unnaturally chilling to the bone, it was a struggle to fight them. I cast a few spells to help fight the cold and we continued on through the Brech mountains.
The journey went about the same up until we got inside the cave.
We took the giants by surprise, and mined some topaz to replentish my stock.
A few hours from now I will continue my training with Ty.

I was late.

Walking up to the arena I could hear sounds of a fight inside.
I opened the door and walked inside, greeted again by Merisa.
Merisa - Arena Hostess: Hello, Welcome to the Fort Vehl Arena
I tipped my hat and continued walking to the seats near the pits.
Ty was there and he had a friend with.
Niamh: a bit like watching a wolf take down a rabbit...
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *a behemoth of a man is getting his rear handed to him by a smaller but much much more nimble opponent; he seems very interested in the mechanics of the fight*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *glances over* Late.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: haha
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: again
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i was actually early, till i ran off
Niamh: *looks between the two*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *slips into introductions as if it were an outfit he could wear but didn't fit him well*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Glitch, this is Niamh.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *bows* hello Niamh, Glitch'nich Amthrmil
Niamh: *looks at Glitch a moment* You're an elf...
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *looks at himself touching his pointy ears* well what do you know, i am an elf, a white one at that.
Niamh: *grins a bit* Well, it seems I see something new every day. I've never known of an elf go to a human for lessons in much of anything.
Niamh: do ye mind if I watch a bit?
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *shrugs*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: not at all, feel free.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You been practicing?
Niamh: *removes her cloak and folds it*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *to Glitch*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: We talked about fighting smart.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: indeed, i have been, got so caught up in what you taught me, i went out and tried to practice on stone golems
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *grins*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: which i soon learned was quite stupid
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: How'd that work for you?
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Everything has a weak spot.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Even them.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: not well, but my buddy ran away
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You survive it?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: he did
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i fell
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: it was probably a bad idea to begin with *laughs*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Got to test yourself.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i made a huge mistake by getting all of their attention, i only meant to let one see me
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You fight looking for every advantage, and not thinking your armor will protect you cause you got none.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Takes a while but you start seeing ways to do more damage, not just avoid it.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: aye, been wondering about that myself
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Spell up, we'll practice some.
I prepared myself to take Ty's blows, remembering how hard he hit me the day before. Knowing what to expect I had prepared a bit more.
Ty and myself walked into the pit to begin training.
Niamh: *leans over the rail to watch*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Right.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So from last time, you know what you had to work on, let's see how that's going.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: alright *watches out for the strange moves that got him last time*
Ty shot me a quick insulting look and I knew it was time.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *a stance, he readies himself*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Go.
I parried much better this time, and he was only able to knock me off my feet once.
Ty attacked me but I parried the blow, and hit him back.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *grins at the parry work*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *fights as quick as he can*
Round and round we went exchanging blows, almost as equals for a time, that is, until I lost sight of him once again. He came up from the side after a quick spin around my back and caught me off guard.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *feints and lunges back*
Niamh was watching from the side of the pit.
Niamh: *cocks her head to one side while watching*
I tried to lunge for Ty.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Can't fall for that.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: ouch, mean right you got there
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Don't drop your weapon. Press your advantage.
He waived his sword instructingly.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: And don't give me distance.
We stopped fighting and started attending to our newly aquired wounds.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: I ike distance. *grins*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *rubs his sore ribs*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *nods*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *patches up*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil uses Light Healer's Kit
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Fine blocking you're doing.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Keep that up.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart uses Light Healer's Kit
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So, what did you see me doing.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: What did you observe.
Niamh: *hums softly while she watches them*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: it's what i've been practicing most... holding off the enemies while the rest of my friends heal up and come back to finish them, i don't seem to do a lot of damage
Niamh sings.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You start watching what your opponent does, you'll do more.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: When they lift their arm, you dive in.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: you seem to use your wrists a lot to fake out your opponent, making him think your going one way, then dip to the other direction and hit him
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: When they stay flat-footed, you leg sweep.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Good *grin*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So when the wrist starts moving, ignore it.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Press harder or close distance.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i see
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Or distract them.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i'll go more offensive this time
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You got spells, use them.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *moves back a bit*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *takes a fighting stance*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: ready?
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Go.
The fighting started again, this time a bit more intense, I decided to try some spells to affect Ty's mind. Slow him down a bit.
He started out by flying through the air again, no mercy.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart begins to perform an Acrobatic Attack.
He hit me on his decent.
Recovering from the blow I hit back quickly landing another on Ty.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *moves back*
Thinking I had him I landed yet another attack, but it barely phased him.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart begins to perform an Acrobatic Attack.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *then leaps*
He hit me but I'd seen that trick one too many times already, I managed to keep myself balanced and this time he didn't put me on my knees.
We exchanged blows for quite a while, dipping and dodging around the pits.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *leg sweep*
I jumped just in time to avoid that sweep, and landed another hit.
Then I decided to try that move on him.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *tries the leg sweep*
Ty jumped out of the way and we exchanged a few more blows.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *panting now*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *pants and holds his side*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: That was good....you caught that fast.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: never thought about using my legs much, always focused on the sword haha
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *starts patching up the many, many holes*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Legs, arms, wrists, forehead. Whatever.
he explained before sheathing his sword.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Going to sit a bit, I'm a sieve.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *waves him out*
Niamh: Ye two look a bit like when wolves try te teach who's boss...
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *glances at Niamh*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *chuckles holding his side*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: I looked better last time *grins*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: He's getting better though.
Niamh: ye going to be alright?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: he did
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Yeah.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Just need a sit.
Niamh: *turns and leans against the rail again*
Niamh: *looks back over her shoulder at them*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *sits* You were watching for my tells.
Niamh: *turns again*
Niamh: do ye do this often?
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Blocking and moving in. *nods*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Nah, just started.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: aye, second lesson
Niamh: ah...
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So more of that.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You're concentrating now, make it instinct.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: alright
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Lot more practice.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: this time i'll try a few spells on top of the sword work
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *grins*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Not golems.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: haha
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods* Use what you got.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i thought they'd be slow
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: THey surprise you.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: indeed
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Ready?
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *takes a stance*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *attacks*
From one side of the arena to the next could be heard the sounds of sword play and grunting.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: ouch
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *leg sweep, then he sttrikes at the man's ribs*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods* Hard to cast when you're fighting
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: very true
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: hard to drink a potion as well
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *patches up*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So what did I do.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: What did I bring to that fight.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: i dodged that one blow, but you tricked me, and knocked me down, then you jumped over my swing to hit me in the stomach again, but i've learned that trick
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *pats the padding on his stomach*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *grins* And I knew your ribs were hurting.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: And I know you don't do much with legwork.
Niamh: *walks inside the arena and sits in front of one of the large pillars*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: stuck some hay in there this time
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *laughs*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Tha'ts what I mean.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Observe, test, use.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *raises the sabre tip* Ready?
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: ok
I attempted to bring another sword into the fight.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *head shake*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: One.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *puts the other one away*
The fight continued once again, only this time I thought i'd add a few more tricks to the game.
I started to cast fear.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil casting Fear
Glitch'nich Amthrmil casts Fear

Glitch'nich Amthrmil : Will Save vs. Fear : *success* : (8 + 11 = 19 vs. DC: 19)
But he wasn't afraid.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *ducks, but takes some hits, standing more flat-footed, more pell-like*
Alright, so he's not scared.
I decided to try to find another weakness in his mind.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil casting Mind Fog
Glitch'nich Amthrmil casts Mind Fog
Ty Reid-Dragonheart : Will Save vs. Mind Spells : *failure* : (4 + 7 = 11 vs. DC: 20)

Glitch'nich Amthrmil : Will Save vs. Mind Spells : *success* : (11 + 9 = 20 vs. DC: 20)
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Whoa....
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *coughs*
Niamh sings.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *chuckles*
Niamh: *sings softly to herself*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *obviously dizzy*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *tries a few leg sweeps, misses*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *tries to push*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *pushes back*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *grining, working the elf*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *fumbles a leg sweep*
I thought i had him on this one, but instead he had me.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *sheathes and offers him a hand up*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *takes his hand*
Niamh: *watches resolutely, then takes out some reed pipes and just plays a tune while they bleed all over the place for "practice"*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: that one still gets me
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *that one hurt though, he's sweating and bleeding all over*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You're a natural for this.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *gives him a yank to his feet*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: good blow that sweep
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: To the fight, my friends! Attack!
Ty Reid-Dragonheart uses Cure Light Wounds
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: I need to sit *still looking dizzy*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: I'll teach it to you.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *crawls off the grid*
Niamh: *grins slightly and continues to play her tune, pretending not to notice the fact that they're both beat up*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Nice pipe work.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *wobbles off to rest*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *patches himself up* i'll be paying for this for a while
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Me too *rueful grin*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *moves up to listen to the pipes with a brief, almost wistful smile*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Coming along *nods*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *admires the pipes and tries to sing* *perform check*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: Perform Check: 19 + -1 = 18
Niamh: Perform Check: 8 + 13 = 21
Niamh: *it's not her best, but it's passable*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *looks between them and smiles*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So things to work on. LIke today, look for tells.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: My wrist,l someone else's eyes, that kind of thing.
Niamh: *looks up and over at Glitch and smiles as she finishes the tune and sets the pipes in her lap*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Press your advantage.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Don't give anyone breathing room.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You see another rapier or sabre, don't give them space.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Up close and personal.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: indeed, i give you breathing room and you flip over me and i lose you
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Start trying that, we'll practice those moves.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: And get used to one weapon.
Niamh: *stands and leaves the fighting zone before someone else decides to come occupy it*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: You need that other hand to balance - especially when you're jumping around or spinning.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *nods* time to get rid of the others, they are just weighing me down anyway
Niamh: *picks up her cloak and pulls it on again*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Next time we'll do footwork.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *writes it on a parchment*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: So it'll be more pell.
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: foot work, right, that will be interesting for sure
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Lots of leaping and spinning *grin*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *tries to dance a bit* *perform check*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: Perform Check: 1 + -1 = 0
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *just grins*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: *smiles with some rosy cheeks*
Niamh: *winces*
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Safe travels, Glitch
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: and you
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: I should be getting to Leringard anyway.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: *nods* Next time. *flicks a wave*
Glitch'nich Amthrmil: nice to meet you Niamh, until we meet again you two
Niamh: **nods** Open roads and kind fires to ye.
Ty Reid-Dragonheart: Pipes.
Niamh: pipes?
I limped my way out of the arena, waving good bye to Merisa.
Tomorrow I will feel the combat of today.
