I am... mostly unchained

Obsessing over Kaladin since 1173

[the-better-vyre]

*hugs you*

*isn't sure what to do*

[the-better-vyre]

you’re a soldier, yeah? Would you be up for some sparring?

@fleeing-mage

Sure. What's your weapon of choice?

[fleeing-mage]

Usually a short sword, but I can also use a boarding pike if that works better

[the-better-vyre]

I'm willing to spar against any weapon. It's good to be prepared.

[fleeing-mage]

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*

[the-better-vyre]

Huh. What's that you're doing?

[fleeing-mage]

*she finishes casting and the sword is caught in a telekinetic grip* I did it!

[the-better-vyre]

Interesting. Seems there's a lot of strange abilities around.

I think I'll just go for a good old spear.

[fleeing-mage]

Works for me

[the-better-vyre]

*holds his spear at the ready*

[fleeing-mage]

On your signal

[the-better-vyre]

Now

[fleeing-mage]

*she nods and begins striking. Her blows are evidently skilled, but... clumsy*

[the-better-vyre]

*He fights back, noting the clumsiness, and striking out at every opportunity*

[fleeing-mage]

*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"

[the-better-vyre]

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?

[fleeing-mage]

Sure

[the-better-vyre]

*He suddenly flies at her, coming in fast to try outmanoeuvring her sword*

[fleeing-mage]

*she ducks, summons the blade to her hand, and parties the blow*

[the-better-vyre]

*he continues trying to get inside her reach, taking advantage of the length of the spear*

[a-wandering-biomancer]

*she darts in and tries to wrench away the spear*

[the-better-vyre]

*he holds on tight before suddenly letting go to startle her, and darts in to grapple*

[fleeing-mage]

*she throws it away and grapples*

[the-better-vyre]

*he tries to throw them both to the ground*

[fleeing-mage]

*she falls and rolls, getting an elbow to his throat and stopping before it impacts*

[the-better-vyre]

*he lashes himself upward*

[fleeing-mage]

*channels magic, casts a spell, and is thrown up by an explosion and hurtles past him*

Didn’t mean to do that much!

[the-better-vyre]

*lashes himself towards her at speed, aiming to send them both back to the ground*

Good to know you can do that, I guess

[fleeing-mage]

I usually just used it to blow holes in ships

[the-better-vyre]

Seems useful

[fleeing-mage]

Aye

[the-better-vyre]

Should I be asking why you were blowing holes in ships?

[fleeing-mage]

You can

[the-better-vyre]

What were you blowing holes in ships for then?

[fleeing-mage]

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.

[the-better-vyre]

I'd avoid getting involved in any more wars, if I were you

[fleeing-mage]

There will be one more if I have anything to say about it

[the-better-vyre]

Some wars are necessary

[fleeing-mage]

Aye

[the-better-vyre]

Would yours be?

[fleeing-mage]

Driving an occupying force of mercenaries off of somewhere they conquered sound justified?

[the-better-vyre]

Absolutely

[fleeing-mage]

Then yeah, mine would be

[the-better-vyre]

Best of luck on that, then

[fleeing-mage]

Thank you

[the-better-vyre]

*he lashes her to the ground*

[fleeing-mage]

*she hits it with a thud, grinning*

[the-better-vyre]

Does that grin mean you're happy or about to do something unexpected?

[fleeing-mage]

Yes to both

*she casts a spell that summons a flock of flying creatures made from some form of gas that glows from within*

[the-better-vyre]

*he flies off to the side and retrieves the spear to experimentally stab at one of them*

[fleeing-mage]

*when the spear pierces it's core it bursts apart as the rest attack*

[the-better-vyre]

*he darts around while trying to fend them off with flurries of blows from his spear*

[the-better-vyre]

you’re a soldier, yeah? Would you be up for some sparring?

@fleeing-mage

Good to know you can do that, I guess

[fleeing-mage]

I usually just used it to blow holes in ships

[the-better-vyre]

Seems useful

[fleeing-mage]

Aye

[the-better-vyre]

Should I be asking why you were blowing holes in ships?

[fleeing-mage]

You can

[the-better-vyre]

What were you blowing holes in ships for then?

[fleeing-mage]

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.

[the-better-vyre]

I'd avoid getting involved in any more wars, if I were you

[fleeing-mage]

There will be one more if I have anything to say about it

[the-better-vyre]

Some wars are necessary

[fleeing-mage]

Aye

[the-better-vyre]

Would yours be?

[the-better-vyre]

you’re a soldier, yeah? Would you be up for some sparring?

@fleeing-mage

Sure. What's your weapon of choice?

[fleeing-mage]

Usually a short sword, but I can also use a boarding pike if that works better

[the-better-vyre]

I'm willing to spar against any weapon. It's good to be prepared.

[fleeing-mage]

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*

[the-better-vyre]

Huh. What's that you're doing?

[fleeing-mage]

*she finishes casting and the sword is caught in a telekinetic grip* I did it!

[the-better-vyre]

Interesting. Seems there's a lot of strange abilities around.

I think I'll just go for a good old spear.

[fleeing-mage]

Works for me

[the-better-vyre]

*holds his spear at the ready*

[fleeing-mage]

On your signal

[the-better-vyre]

Now

[fleeing-mage]

*she nods and begins striking. Her blows are evidently skilled, but... clumsy*

[the-better-vyre]

*He fights back, noting the clumsiness, and striking out at every opportunity*

[fleeing-mage]

*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"

[the-better-vyre]

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?

[fleeing-mage]

Sure

[the-better-vyre]

*He suddenly flies at her, coming in fast to try outmanoeuvring her sword*

[fleeing-mage]

*she ducks, summons the blade to her hand, and parties the blow*

[the-better-vyre]

*he continues trying to get inside her reach, taking advantage of the length of the spear*

[a-wandering-biomancer]

*she darts in and tries to wrench away the spear*

[the-better-vyre]

*he holds on tight before suddenly letting go to startle her, and darts in to grapple*

[fleeing-mage]

*she throws it away and grapples*

[the-better-vyre]

*he tries to throw them both to the ground*

[fleeing-mage]

*she falls and rolls, getting an elbow to his throat and stopping before it impacts*

[the-better-vyre]

*he lashes himself upward*

[fleeing-mage]

*channels magic, casts a spell, and is thrown up by an explosion and hurtles past him*

Didn’t mean to do that much!

[the-better-vyre]

*lashes himself towards her at speed, aiming to send them both back to the ground*

Good to know you can do that, I guess
