The Star Wars Iconic Characters and the Lords of the Expanse: Hunting Grounds...

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

Sia-Lan lunges toward Vor'en, deciding that her long legs would serve her better than anything with her fists. She snakes her foot through his and attempts to trip him.

"So where did you learn how to fight?" the Jedi began to speak in that ever cheerful tone even as she continues her tactics. "You know, with no shirt and a big mask on your head, you're reminscent of a gladiator. Every been to a gladiatorial match?"

 

[Vor'en Kurn]

Vor'en holds himself still, ready to dodge out of the way of any attack. He did his best to focus, but he was more than a bit thrown off by the whole situation. He was used to fighting people at least as big and strong as he was, and just as well trained. That sort of parity made him feel a lot less bad about sending them face-first in to that mat. Obviously, a small teenage girl did not fall in to the "strong, heavy, and well trained" category.

As her foot comes out, he tries to step back, and his plan to take advatage of any openings presented to him by her attack- is foiled by her low profile. He does his best to ignore her chatter and focus.

ooc: Total defense action and don't move. My plan was to take the AoO and attempt a grapple, but trip doesn't provoke one. She crafty, that Jedi!

 

[Valara]

Valara watches the opening maneuvers with excited anticipation. The purple haired amazon moved over to the racks of padded gloves slowly picking through them till she had a pair for both herself and her personal jedi-boy. She takes Set by the hands and puts them on him, grinning at him, and slowly slipping her own gloves on.

"Please, this first time, don't use the force, let me get a sense of what you are without it first. If you think you are man enough to take me that is." Valara says with a smirk thats almost a perfect imitation of Set's own. She turns her back on him and strides into the center of the second ring. She leaned from side to side stretching her thighs and calves. Rising back to a standing position the girl slowly sinks back down into a defensive crouch.

ROUND 1!

Sia-Lan tries to hook her foot around Vor'en's ankle to trip him up. Having learned that little trick the first year in Academy, he sees it coming a mile away and simply steps out of the way.

Vor'en: VP/WP 32/14; Def 19; Atk +5 melee (1d4+2), +6 ranged; Spd 10m; Init +3

Sia-Lan: VP/WP 22/12; Def 16; Atk +3(+5) melee (1d3), +5(+7) ranged; Spd 10m; Init +2

Valara straps on the padded gloves, but quickly notices that there's only enough room on the mat for one couple to safely spar at a time. She and Set will have to wait their turn.

 

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

"Nicely done!" Sia-Lan praised with the wink of one azure eye. "Well, I have to say you don't like to talk when you fight, do you? Not even trash talking? Not even a little? I know you got some smack down in you somewhere."

While she spoke, Sia steeled herself and then charged full tilt into Vor'en in an attempt to knock him down, half-realizing that perhaps it wasn't the most brilliant strategy in the world but a solider off his feet was certainly better for the odds. Of course, Sia was sure the repercussions would hurt her far worse than the guy built like a titanium shell casing.

 

[Vor'en Kurn]

Vor'en maintains his stony silence and does his best to ignore the chatter, and switches from his fully defensive posture. Stop trying to distract me, dammit! I think it's almost working. In fact, it has almost worked, because he's almost caught off guard by the running charge. Of course, that could be because it's a stupid thing to do, but he tries harder to keep his mind on what he's doing. But he finds the opening and takes it, trying to sidestep the charge, grab the Jedi's arm, and pin her to the mat. It seems like the best way to end the extremely one-sided battle without pulverizing her.

ooc: Delay action until after she goes, the plan being to if she provokes an attack of opportunity, to attempt a grapple; and if the AoO/Grapple sucseeds, use his action to attempt a pin. If she had either not provoked an attack of opportunity or he didn't manage to grapple her, he would use his action to attempt the grapple.

In other words, since I know what she does, here's what happens: The AoO is a grapple attempt, and if he manage to grapple her, he uses his action to pin; if he doesn't manage to make the grapple check in the first place, he uses his action to grapple her.

ROUND 2!

Sia-Lan launches herself at Vor'en, but she doesn't have quite enough room to reach a full fledged charge. Even so, she is just able to tuck her head down and dig her shoulder into his midsection. Vor'en, waiting for the imminent attack, rolls with the blow, hooks his arm under Sia's shoulder, and throws her with an easy hip toss. Sia sprawls face first onto the mat. Vor'en takes the advantage and kneels with a knee in her back, grabbing one of her wrists in preparation for an arm-lock...

[OOC Some very close rolls, and one very not close roll... So, Sia did not have enough room to actually Charge, since she was standing right next to Vor'en. Even so, neither trips nor charges incur AoOs. If, however, a tripper makes a successful touch attack, but fails the strength check, the trippee may make an automatic trip attempt back. I assumed Vor'en would do so.

You are both prone and grappled, but Sia is not yet pinned.

Vor'en: VP/WP 32/14; Def 19; Atk +5 melee (1d4+2), +6 ranged; Spd 10m; Init +3

Sia-Lan: VP/WP 22/12; Def 16; Atk +3(+5) melee (1d3), +5(+7) ranged; Spd 10m; Init +2

 

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

Sia-Lan half-gasped as she found herself flying through the air and landing roughly on the mat. "Ugh?!" was all she could get out as the breath was knocked out of her, not to mention the knee digging in her back wasn't even remotely pleasant.

Her mind focused on her muscles, trying to increase their strength in hopes of taking down this solider. When she felt him touch her wrist, the young Jedi twisted in the grapple and attempted to use his hold on her wrist to pull him further off balance and pin Vor'en to the mat himself.

"You know, I've always wanted to be swept off my feet, but this isn't exactly how I imagined it," she quipped with her usual good-natured humor as she tried to heave him forward and gain the upperhand.

OOC: Will try to pin Vor'en while they're both prone and grappled. Enhance Ability strength

 

[Vor'en Kurn]

Vor'en resisted the urge to let go, stand up, and ask if she was all right. He done this sort of thing enough to know that "Ugh" was not a cry that someone made when actually hurt. He does his best to keep her down on the mat, resisting her attempt at a reversal. He doesn't know how long he'll have to maintain the pin before she decides to give up; if he actually manages to keep her down for a bit, maybe he'll ask her.

ooc: I think you deal unarmed strike damage when you sucseed at a grapple attempt. I could be wrong, and since Vor'en goal is speciffically not to hurt her it would be good if I was, but I think so.

ROUND 3!

Sia-Lan and Vor'en roll across the sparring mat with arms and legs entangled and entwined, each trying to get the upper hand. When they come to a stop, Sia-Lan is again face down on the mat. This time, however, Vor-en has her caught in a half-nelson to keep her arms out of the way and one of her legs folded up over her back so she can't get any leverage to flip herself back over.

[OOCIn Star Wars, there is no distinction between unarmed damae and normal damage. While grappling, there are three basic opposed grappling cheks you can make... 1. Deal damage with an unarmed attack. 2. Pin your opponent. 3. Escape from a pin. 4. Escape from the grapple. Additionally, you can attack your opponent with a light weapon, or use Escape artist to escape a pin or grapple.

Vor'en's last battle plan stated he was going to try to pin Sia, so I assumed that's what he did, rather than inflict damage.

You are both prone and grappled. Sia is pinned.

Vor'en: VP/WP 32/14; Def 19; Atk +5 melee (1d4+2), +6 ranged; Spd 10m; Init +3

Sia-Lan: VP/WP 22/12; Def 16; Atk +3(+5) melee (1d3), +5(+7) ranged; Spd 10m; Init +2
