"Focus!" Jin yelled, in an encouraging tone. "You can take him!"

Turning his head to Riardon, he says, "Well, this is exciting. And unexpected. If I knew I could spare with a real partner, I wouldn't have been practicing forms alone."

Riardon

"I'm more used to fight in and with units. A fight of at least two against two would not only show combat prowess, but also tactical understanding." Riardon responds to Jin.

Prepared action: If the dwarf cheats anyway, using Directing Strike to give Talon an extra basic attack.

[sblock=OOC]Question. Can I use Yield Ground (an Immediate Reaction encounter power triggered by an enemy damaging Talon with a melee attack) after the first hit when the crowd pushes Talon to A3. This would let him shift 3 squares to B4, C4, then D4. This would stop the dwarf from landing the second attack unless he wants to give up using his move action to activate his SW, yes? He'd be able to either move and hit Talon the second time, or use his second wind but not both. I'll let you rule on this before posting the rest of my action so I know where I'm starting from for sure. Yield Ground would also give Talon a +2 power bonus to all defenses until the end of his next turn, but that wouldn't be enough to stop the already rolled 2nd attack.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Not only is it fair, It's what I would have done in the same situation. Give me until tonight to retcon my post and alter Ironhand's response. [/sblock]

 

[Phoenix8008]

[sblock=OOC]Sounds good, HMG. I'll also get busy on leveling up Talon and get him submitted soon. Thanks![/sblock]

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

[sblock=OOC]OK. I've retconned the last status update. Go ahead and retcon your post, as well as your next set of actions.[/sblock]

Talon smiles back at the dwarf, knowing that he can attack from this range just fine. Twisting the handle of his longspear, Talon unleashes an electric blue arc of energy that crackles loudly as it explodes against the plate armor of his dwarven foe. "Old mother dead long ago, and old home long gone. New mother is goddess Dayna, new home is all the world. I am with both, always! Maybe you should go hide behind fathers beard..." Talon says, showing the dwarf that he is equal in both combat and insults.

The dwarf's eyes go horrifically wide as the spear extends and issues lightning into his mail shirt.

Boos issue from the crowd.

He stumbles back a little from the shock, but his eyes quickly narrow, betraying a hint of suspicion, "Where'd ye ge' tha' spear wile-bye." He shakes off the shock, "Ne'ermin'. Ye won' be holdin' i' far long!"

Ironhand charges forward and lands a blow on talon, but it has less than the desired effect. Realizing this, he swings his shield around, but Talon ducks the bracer which passes just over his head.[sblock=Actions]Standard: Charge to D3 (Basic Melee)

Talon swings hard at the dwarf with Stormshard, but the dwarf blocks the blow with his shield. The force of it runs up his arm though as he realizes that hit would have likely dropped him if it had struck cleanly.

"I be holding Stormshard till I die, which won't be today. You just lucky Dayna staying out of this fight." the shifter says with a nod towards the crowd, where a large female wolf sits on her haunches with her tongue lolling out of her mouth.

[sblock=OOC]Not sure if I can use Daily's or AP's here and still have them available once we get where we're going. I was assuming not, but if I can please let me know.[/sblock]

Ironhand laughs, "No. Ye won' be dyin' taday, bu' ye'd be wise no'ta use a dwarven weap'n 'gain' 'is own kine."

The combination of shield and hammer proves effective against Talon. This time the shield pushes him to the perimeter of the ring, and the hammer brings him to the ground, almost unconscious. It's all Talon can do to keep his head up.[sblock=Actions]Shield Bash Recharge: 1d6=6
