Off to War [IC]

[Myth and Legend]

Lora eyed the Paladin sideways and wrinkled her nose. "We're baking a pie. What does it look like we're doing?!" Her belly pulsed with pain, which made her cranky. The girl refused to attribute her crankiness to Aidan's moronic idea of pitting himself in an arena fight.

"You can learn much from an opponent just by looking at what sort of stance or how he holds himself in the ring, Miss Lora. I'm merely trying to give youn Aidan some helpful words to keep himself from having to be dragged to our next destination." Claude says to the Lora not really looking at her because he knows that he will only have a scowl to look at. He gives up his attempt and watches the match, now looking at Aidan more then the man to see what his comrads capablilities are.

 

[HolyMan]

Hearing Lora in the crowd Aidan turns to see the girl in the crowd, a sour look on her face. Turning back to face his opponent just in time the young warrior gets his hands up to block a kick to his mid-section. Focusing on the battle Aidan drives all other thoughts from his head.

****************************

As Lora, Fallon, and Claude watch the tall and lean Reygurian dives into a hand spring and lashes out with a long leg that is barely blocked by Aidan. Stumbling back a step Aidan looks more determined than he ever has.

[sblock=ooc] Claude knows this combat style from his homeland, as Savate. A dangerous form of non-weapon fighting.

"AIDAN YOU BETTER NOT LOSE!"

The farmboy turned and saw Lora in the crowd. Grinning and giving the girl a wink, he turned just in time to see the large man launching a kick toward his midsection. His hands raised to dull the impact, the boy bouncing back a few steps before ge chuckled.

"Nice try, but ya really shouldn't attack a guy if he ain't lookin' at ya. They might think yer fightin' dirty..."

As he said this, the boy's body whirls, at the last second dropping towards the ground as he engages in a sweeping kick towards the man's ankles. If he succeeds to connect, it would hopefully topple the larger man, giving the boy the opportunity to attempt a blow to his prone opponent in the form of an elbow to the abdomen, preferably.

1d20+2=19, 1d20+2=17, 1d20+2=12, 1d6+1=7
Melee Touch Attack, trip attempt, attack on prone target (Stunning Fist attempt for the day. DC 13 Fort save to avoid "Stunned" condition), Damage roll. Hope I'm lucky! Oh, and HM, if the stunning blow 'hits' let's give it a bit of arcane oomph, whether it succeeds or not. Nothing spectacular, just a subtle hint for any spellcasters observing. Oh, and Non-lethal Damage... [/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

As the big man falls like a dark tree that has been cutdown the crowd yells it's aproval. The young warrior follows the tall man down but with cat like quickness he rolls out of the way.

The elbow meant for the man's shortribs hits the ground with a hollow thump and all notice the ripple of dirty that circles out from the point of impact. Causing more and louder cheers.

Rathman quickly moves back to his feet, but instead of attacking out right, he looks to start dancing jumping side to side and his arms swing out wide in front of him.

Aidan's turn [/sblock]

 

[Frozen Messiah]

"I know that style. It's Savate but I'm not knowledgable in how it effects the outcome of the fight," Claude whispers to Fallon hoping that he knew more on the subject "but Aidan seems to be doing well anyways, though."

 

[Theroc]

Aidan grunts with disappointment as his followup strike misses it's mark, wasting a well timed strike. However, it seemed he had the edge, as he whirled to rise again, the boy turned to see the man entering a very unfamiliar stance. The farmboy blinked, unsure of what the man was doing, and so placed more care into his defenses, while still attempting to press the advantage.

Keeping his defenses up, the boy shifted forward to snap a leg outward quickly to strike at the larger man's knee, trying to knock him down again, following up with either a repeat strike with the elbow or with a strike for the face as the man's defense would be focused on the leg. Either way, the boy wasn't letting up.

Lora observed the match with an intense stare. Without taking her eyes off the two combatants, she whispered to Claude: "Do you think that Aidan can take him?" and then she leaned towards Fallon: "Tell me are there any spellcasters in this crowd? It's important, if there are none i can help Aidan a bit without anyone noticing."

Somehow the excitement of the match overwhelmed Lora's pain and nasty mood. A temporary phenomenon, to be sure.

 

[HolyMan]

Fallon who seems to be nervously looking about for someone or something turns towads the girl. "Spell.., spellcasters here?" the man asks. "The irregulars are full of spellcasters it was one of the reasons the group was formed. I wouldn't, wouldn't try anything to risky these men may take it amiss." The crowd roars again causing Fallon to cringe. "They will, will have Dellex's men down on them if they keep that up," he mutters.

Looking back to see the cause of the crowds newest reaction they see Aidan wrapped up in the dark mans arms.

Aidan's kick met with a soild leg defense as the Reygurian was ready this time. And before the young warrior could follow up the two outstretched swinging arms caught Aidan up in an old fashion bear hug.

 

[Theroc]

Being caught in the bear hug, Aidan blinked and struggled slightly, but found himself caught as he choked momentarily before finding a position in which he could breath. Being caught in a very unfriendly position, Aidan felt it best to attempt to encourage the man to let him go.
