Though this one was over faster than normal, to avoid the log being too long.Valraven opts for a Neutral stanceShen'Lu opts for an Aggressive stance----Shen'Lu rushes in to attack, while Valraven tries to hold him off...----At the start of the round, we refresh both combat pools----First engagement...Shen'Lu gains +2CP for his aggressive stanceShen'Lu thrusts at Valraven's chest with 7 dice...Valraven parries the attack with 7 dice...Shen'Lu rolls and gets 1 successes.Valraven rolls and gets 2 successes.Valraven therefore successfully parries the attack and steals initiative!----Second engagement...Valraven takes a swing at Shen'Lu's arms/hands with 7 dice...Shen'Lu parries the attack with 6 dice...Valraven rolls and gets 1 successes.Shen'Lu rolls and gets 2 successes.Shen'Lu therefore successfully parries the attack and steals initiative!----At the start of the round, we refresh both combat pools----First engagement...Shen'Lu takes a swing at Valraven's midsection with 6 dice...Valraven attempts to counter Shen'Lu's attack with 6 dice...Shen'Lu's attack was a feint, and he instead thrusts at Valraven's chest with 9 dice...Shen'Lu rolls and gets 2 successes.Valraven rolls and gets 4 successes.Valraven successfully counters the attack, and gains 2 dice on his next attack.----Second engagement...Valraven gains 2 dice for his counter attack...It's a slash at Shen'Lu's head. How many dice do you wish to assign?Valraven assigns 8 dice to the counter attack.Shen'Lu doesn't have enough dice left to defend with...Valraven rolls and gets 5 successes.Shen'Lu rolls and gets 0 successes.Valraven hits Shen'Lu with a total damage rating of 5... (Weapon goes in throat and out top of head...)----Combat over! For the record, Valraven was wearing a chain tunic and leather arm and leg guards, Shen'Lu was wearing full leather with a pot helmet. Valraven had a longsword in a two-handed grip, Shen'Lu had a longsword in a one-handed grip and a poingard dagger in his off hand. Valraven was weaker than Shen'Lu, but quicker and had 1 more dice in his pool because Shen'Lu lost one due to wearing a helmet.</blockquote>
