"You're holding it too much like a dagger," she said. "Here. let me show you."

She moved closer and moved his hand on the hilt so that he was holding it properly.

"That's better. Now try to strike eme."

She moved back a few feet and waited.

Maerys smiled,"Awesome, first to spar with the new kid." He ran and grabbed a chain mail hauberk along with a great sword. He threw the hauberk on and grabbed a great helm before coming back to the two,"Are you ready?"

Greatswords hurt, and had a long reach, but they were hard to use if someone got too close to you. So when Dayne asks whether he is ready, Keath responds by bullrushing him, shield up and axe ready to strike.

Dunnock rushes Maerys, raising his shield to catch the first heavy stroke of the blunted greatsword. Then Keath is on him, swinging hard enough to raise bruises even through the chain hauberk. After several furious blows he checks Dayne with his shield and knocks him to the dirt.

"Surrender?" Dunnock asks, looming over him, axe in his hand and a rage in his eyes.

He got up and stuck his hand out,"I need to train with you more often."

Dunnock eyes the hand suspiciously. But if the other boy meant to pull him down, he would just hit him in the face with the shield again. He shakes the offered hand guardedly.

"You need to move your feet more," Dunnock grunts. "You don't have a shield to block and you're not big enough to stand your ground."

Mariya parried easily, but she did it slowly, with a light tap. "Try again," she said. "How does the sword feel in your hand?"

"That is good enough. I got a good sense of your skill." Derek walked up and said, "Maerys how many times have i told you to watch that."

Tytos: I know this is distasteful, but I've been invited to a new RP on a Discord server, discord.gg/xnjMU it's gonna be a little more casual than these forums, no combat system and more player-driven Jan 23, 2017 22:07:20 GMT -5
