*Flavius walks out into the fighting ring while all the other practice. He notices @Serious Face eye-balling him from behind one of the fighters. Flavius grabs a shield, pole, and wooden short sword and begins walking towards him*

 

[Spicy Serious]

*Zeph chuckled quietly under his breath as he saw @Sheperd walk towards him.


He checked the wooden replicas of his weapons, still in fine condition and dull as his brother. He smiled faintly before walking around combatant in front of him and towards the man .

[[ @Serious Face ]]


Flavius would say,


"Ah. You're a tall fellow. Your last name is Trinity, isn't it? I once dated a lass by the name of Trinity...once. Hopefully, you won't be as disappointing..."

 

[Shepard]

"Listen here, Too-Tall. Best out of three, simulated kill-blows. How does that sound?"

 

[Spicy Serious]

"Listen here, Too-Tall. Best out of three, simulated kill-blows. How does that sound?"

Zeph grinned broadly as he moved his arms in circles, making sure his shoulders were lossesnd up. "I feel sorry for the lady, at least it ended quickly." He comented idley as he finished his stretches."No one diserves That," he gestures to the man in front of him. " It's cruel and unusual." He hefted the double headed, wooden axe into his hands.


"And I know how these sparring matches work, half-pint." He said, silently agreeing....in his own way.

"Well if fast-paced isn't your style... Let's just Say that this won't go well for you."


*Flavius quickly steps forward with his left and Leans onto his right as he targets the gap through his axe and arm with his spear. with as light jump, Flavius thrusts his spear into the gap locking his opponent's arms. *


*After landing slightly behind Trinity, Flavius quickly draws his sword for an easy kill on A brutish Foe. *

[ [shall we be rolling die or going off of RP action?]]

[Rp action if it's fine with you, I'm good with either one though]


*Zeph quickly drops the large axe,as the man is mid-air allowing him to move his arms. Knowing a hit would be attempted Zeph blindly jumped to the side, he felt the weapon graze his side. He then quickly turned and quickly grabbed the smaller, wooden axe from his side.*

"Looks like he's not as brutish as I thought." Flavius said to himself, "Keep him on the defensive."


*Flavius thrusts his spear at his opponent's chest, followed by swigging the spear rom the right and bashing with the shield to put him off balance.*

 

[Spicy Serious]

*Zaph manages to deflect the spear thrust with the axe, this doesn't the I him off however as Zaph is forced to leap backwards to avoid a fallow up strike. But as he lands his mid-section is rammed by his opponents shield, staggering The tall man and nearly sending him onto the ground.*

 

[Shepard]

*Flavius, knowing he just achieve a kill shot, plans his attack*


*Thrust spear right, make him cross his body with his axe, follow up with downward strike with spear, jam his fighting hand with axe...*


*Follow up with counter-clockwise spin, shield bask to enemy right shoulder, unsheath sword, kill-blow to left side of neck*

 

[Spicy Serious]

*Before Zaph even has time to recover he is forced to deflect a spear thrust, his enemy isn't through yet as he jumps to the side, avoiding a downward strike of his spear. As he lands he's yet again hit by his opponents shield, sending him to the ground.*


*And before he had the chance to get up he felt the polished wood of his opponents sword press into his neck.*

 

[Shepard]

"You might be able to take hits..."


*Flavius turns around and tossed the larger axe at his feet.*


"Prove your worth...and perhaps I'll hand you your weapons after disarming you."


*He turns his back and walks back to his starting position...the other fighters begin to watch and form a circle around Flavius and Trinity*

 

[Spicy Serious]

*A small frown comes across Zaph's face briefly as he gets up. He grabs his large axe and returns his smaller one to his side. "Your quick,I'll give you that much." He says as he walks over to his own starting point.


"But don't be thinking this match will go easily for you." He comments as he drops into a ready stance.

 

[Shepard]

"Your move, Too-Tall."


*Flavius waits in a battle-ready stance*

 

[Spicy Serious]

[Got it]


*Zaph walks forward cautiously, eyeing his opponent. "With pleasure." He says quietly before quickly using his left hand to grab his smaller axe and throw it wildly at his opponent.*


*after he had thrown the axe he charged forward swinging the axe at the man opposing him.*

 

[Shepard]

*Flavius quickly leans while protecting his body with his shield from the throwing axe.*


*Unaware of the charging brute, Flavius is initially caught off guard by the swinging axe and has to jump back to avoid having his intestines ripped out...*


*Zeph maintains the initiative*

 

[Tmd4772]

Marcus stood with the other combatants in a circle watching the fight between two participants who had been battling in the center.

 

[Spicy Serious]

*With a grunt Zaph puts much of his strength into reversing the axe's arc and aiming a horizontal slice at his opponents chest*

 

[Shepard]

*Flavius steps back, plants his fleet, readies his shield and spear.*


*As soon as the axe passes, Flavius thrusts his spear into Zeph's left leg*

 

[Spicy Serious]

*Zaph grunted as the spear hit his leg, that combined with his swing made him stagger*

 

[Shepard]

*Gaining the initiative, Flavius shoves Zaph [[sorry for the misspell]] back with his shield and aims his spear for Zaph's left ankle to knock him from his feet...*

 

[Spicy Serious]

*The shield blow nearly sends Zaph tumbling. But the hit from the spear is enough to knock him over. Hoping to recover quickly the tall man twists as he falls and lands on his back*

 

[Shepard]

*Flavius jumps at the opportunity presented and following his chain of attacks, he stands with one leg on Zaph's right arm and shoves his spear down towards his neck...stopping only when the wood of the pole arm is shaved by the chin of his helmet...Flavius's practice staff rests a mere inch from the Adam's apple of his enemy*





"That there is a kill-blow, my friend."

 

[Spicy Serious]

*Zaph frowns "Yes, I know when I've lost." He says "now let me up." He adds with a hint of annoyance in his voice.*
