*Adam walks out into the arena*

"I thought this was a New York Mets game...?"

*Looks at the kid holding the Daito ain the middle of the arena*

"Well, this looks interesting"

*Takes a 14th century English articulated broad sword out of his coat*

"Well, It's not like I have anything better to do."

"I do what I do for the good of the soul; With this alien force, it cannot be whole. Perchance he won't see it, or like it, or care, But if he knew what I've been through, He would know that it's there."

"I do what I do for the good of the heart, For it fills mine to know that we do play a part. I don't know whether fallen from reason or grace, But I sense this strange life form Once had a child's face."
"I do what I do for the good of the world. We refuse to stay warm in our beds, snug and curled. He may have all the strength, all the power, and pride, But we have something special -- We have fate on our side."

And that's an interesting way to hide a broadsword." He draws the wakizashi and katana in his left and right hands respectively. The wakizashi is held forward, blade pointing down, elbow bent slightly and the point sloping lightly upward, pointed at Adam's face across the distance between them. The katana is in his right, held overhead with the blade to the sky, the curve of the blade ending parallel to the ground at its tip over Ephel's left shoulder. Ephel grips the swords, firmly with his bottom two fingers and loosely with his index finger and thumb. The arena is completely empty and level and the light comes from an overhead light panel, eliminating any geographic advantages. ooc: i put a lot of detail in swordfighting ^_^ only way to make it reasonable. this is exactly how the world wide web works: the html files are the pithy description on the paper tape, and your web browser is ronald reagan.

The broadsword barely misses Ephel, recovering himself on his right leg. Springing forward on his bent leg (right), Ephel thrusts his katana into the soft flesh of Adam's open left shoulder, piercing through out behind his back. Quickly withdrawing his blade from between the bones and severed tendons, Ephel sidesteps to his left, close enough to brush against Adam's body and using himself to trap Adam's sword arm. As he removes his katana from Adam, Ephel pivots and slashes the entire 45cm lenght of his wakizashi along Adam's ribs. note: thrusting strokes, such as the tuski, are the swiftest as they pierce the shortest range. all thrusting attacks are killing techniques, just a note for pacifists because they will undoubtedly be quite unskilled at thrusting. usually anyway ^_^ a full stroke with a blade is very very deadly, liable to cleave a person in half if the blade and swordsman are any good. i leave the damage for you to decide, but i really can't see how you can get out. short of falling on your back at least. even then, at that range, it would graze your chest at the very least. even a shallow blow to the ribs would adversely impact your fighting ability, as it would make breathing painful. once you lose your ability to breathe properly, it limits the rhythm of your moves and makes it highly predictable, limits your speed and stamina. a broadsword is also a mighty difficult weapon to wield one handed. the underam and ribs are also of the body's nine primary critical points. please be reasonable about the damage ^_^ doumo ^_^ i want to be the wind. to drive away the clouds. to bring peace and still heavy hearts. to race across the corners of the world. to raise dust to blot out the sun. to chill their souls and drive them to shelter behind stone walls. to soar unrestricted over all. i want to carry people to unimaginable heights with their wings. i want to crush them into the earth and drive them deeper until they are swallowed and mingle with the warm red dust. i want absolute freedom never to be captured or held down. except by the thin confines of the sky by the nihlist vacuum.

While still laying on the ground I slowly reach for my Templer sword which is laying on the ground only a few inches from my body, with a violent upheavel in an isntant rise from the ground clenching my blade tightly, and unknoging to my foe at the moment drive the sword from the point all the way to the hilt through him, at the point on the chest halfway between the collerbone and the the bottom of the ribs dirrectly through the abdomen and more than 16 inches prtrudeing through his back, I whisper in his ear. "Just because I don't like to fight, dosen't mean I can't..." I quickly turn around so my back is faceing him, wrench the sword breaking a few ribs in the process, removeing the sword, and then spining 270 degrees around, while making the articulet blow that removes his head from his body ooc: I'm really sorry, but you should of read my character profile before taking steps.

When Adam gripped the handle of his sword, Ephel's peripheral vision caught the slight change in the way the light reflected off the metal. Stepping forward instinctively onto Adam's arm, Ephel brings his katana down onto his pinned wrist, detaching it from Adam's arm, then jumping quickly twice backwards putting 3 meters between them. i want to be the wind. to drive away the clouds. to bring peace and still heavy hearts. to race across the corners of the world. to raise dust to blot out the sun. to chill their souls and drive them to shelter behind stone walls. to soar unrestricted over all. i want to carry people to unimaginable heights with their wings. i want to crush them into the earth and drive them deeper until they are swallowed and mingle with the warm red dust. i want absolute freedom never to be captured or held down. except by the thin confines of the sky by the nihlist vacuum.
