you’re a soldier, yeah? Would you be up for some sparring?
@fleeing-mage
Sure. What's your weapon of choice?
Usually a short sword, but I can also use a boarding pike if that works better
I'm willing to spar against any weapon. It's good to be prepared.
Got it. I’m going to try something…
*she takes out her sword, throws it into the air, and holds her hand out as she starts to cast a spell*
Huh. What's that you're doing?
*she finishes casting and the sword is caught in a telekinetic grip* I did it!
Interesting. Seems there's a lot of strange abilities around.
I think I'll just go for a good old spear.
Works for me
*holds his spear at the ready*
On your signal
*she nods and begins striking. Her blows are evidently skilled, but... clumsy*
*He fights back, noting the clumsiness, and striking out at every opportunity*
*given the reach of the telekinesis she's able to get out of the way each time, and she smiles* "Thanks for not cuttin' me slack. Helps with improving"
Not used to being the one with the reach disadvantage, this is interesting. I suppose if you're allowed to do that, other abilities are fair game?
Sure
*He suddenly flies at her, coming in fast to try outmanoeuvring her sword*
*she ducks, summons the blade to her hand, and parties the blow*
*he continues trying to get inside her reach, taking advantage of the length of the spear*
*she darts in and tries to wrench away the spear*
*he holds on tight before suddenly letting go to startle her, and darts in to grapple*
*she throws it away and grapples*
*he tries to throw them both to the ground*
*she falls and rolls, getting an elbow to his throat and stopping before it impacts*
*he lashes himself upward*
*channels magic, casts a spell, and is thrown up by an explosion and hurtles past him*
Didn’t mean to do that much!
*lashes himself towards her at speed, aiming to send them both back to the ground*
Good to know you can do that, I guess
I usually just used it to blow holes in ships
Seems useful
Aye
Should I be asking why you were blowing holes in ships?
You can
What were you blowing holes in ships for then?
My old home was an archipelago, and I was one of the younger royals, so I served as a soldier. Not an officer, I had to earn any rank.
Most of the time was pirates, then there was my brother and his mercenaries during the last war I fought in. Also the only war.
I'd avoid getting involved in any more wars, if I were you
There will be one more if I have anything to say about it
Some wars are necessary
Aye
