[QUOTE="taitzu52, post: 2610188, member: 21465"] Briet's eyes break from Acwulf only to see where his spittle lands. With a nod to the side, a round shield is produced, and he straps it onto his left arm. Acwulf may be a coward, but he's taller, and has a longer reach with his sword. With any luck, he'll act much like any other big fighter and come at him with an overhand swing, counting with their size and velocity to hit home. The trick is to step inside the blow and hit that exposed armpit, Briet's favorite touch. Or make it go wide, and slip in under the jaw. His tools were many. Briet stands still for a moment. He blows the loose hair out if his face, an taunts, "Last to stand for his clan, eh? Looks like only one of us will have that distinction. I'll see that his pyre is tended well." This is when Briet uses his eyes. He learned as a boy that a mans eyes are the key to battle. Follow them, and your blade will follow true. But Briet was cunning, he used his eyes to trick his opponents. Flashing his eyes constantly up, making himself look fearful of a powerful strike, this would get him where he wanted to be. And his dance began. He circled a bit, keeping his shield to his side. Make him think you'll block, and slip in. Briet pushes Acwulf's sword out of the way with a beat, and swings on his arm. A tap really, [i]take the bait, you cur[/i], he thinks. He sees it, with a stomp and a shuffle, the shorter of the men is inside his guard. He poises to strike. [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]OOC-Lemme know if this is the kind of stuff you want, or if you want more direct ideas about each attempted blow.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
