what will you do when the vultures come for you, run and hide?
Aisha stepped back to let the two teams strategize, plot, prepare to employ tactics. As she listened in, nosiness coming in clutch for the occasion, she got a good idea of what the fight ahead might look like. Time to see how it really played out. "Alright, begin!" she called once both pairs had taken position. And from there ensued the contained chaos that was battle.
Sah went after the dark haired man, who was smaller, but stouter, far less nimble. Sah had that advantage and he kept moving, swiftly navigating and evading and landing blows here and there. Soon enough the black haired foe pulled an unsteady grip on his weapon, and Sah's blade struck the other's down, the opponent's weapon skittered across the snow capped ground.
On to Neos, who was having similar success with the woman. Expertly deflecting and redirecting her hits. She had power in stature, tall and brawny, but she wore herself out quickly against his well timed retaliations. He kept her off his teammate until Sah had disarmed his opponent, and by then Neos's foe was worn. An elbow to the chest, easing her grip, and his next swing sent her blade to the ground with that familiar chiming.
Aisha beamed, proud that her two charge had fared so well. "Well done, all of you," she said, gaze sweeping over to the two that Sah and Neos had defeated. They gathered their weapons, sent a sour glance back to the winners, then marched off to practice some more. Aisha looked back to Sah and Neos, ready to swoop in with feedback, "You two work really well together to be honest."
"Sah, good job listening to what I told you earlier, those swings were much cleaner. And Neos, you have good coordination, I'd like to see what you could do with other weapons sometime." Then she shook her head, "But first, I do have one last thing I want you all to complete. One on one, spar. You versus you, disarm your opponent. We'll do a couple rounds, feel free to start when you're ready."
Good job in the two on two, but now it's one on one! Sah and Neos are squaring off with their new skills against each other, describe plans and attacks and I'll be rolling for successes.
