(YB!) Rini defeats Winter Snow

[Rini]

Hmm, Winter Snow and I should probably take that as an insult...
I don't think I will though.

~3: The weasel vanquishes the canyon; conceals the onslaught of the star!~

::Rini uses her special sneaky weasel style to surprise Winter Snow.::

 

[Yellow Sign]

Seeing Rini's tricky move. Winter counters with a trickey move of his own. Bad Weasel!!

The raven blasts the forest; removes the blood of the rodent!

 

[Ciaran]

“Both fighters have powerful attacks, but Winter Snow skillfully defends against his opponent’s style. Point to Winter Snow.”

One flag Winter Snow, three flags neutral.

 

[Yellow Sign]

The staff wracks the tower; guards against the thrust of the mire and sweeps atop the gaze of the rodent!

 

[Rini]

~2: The oak impales the temple; shreds the kick of the mountain!~

::Summoning the power from the very staff he has drawn against her, the staff gives off a small explosion of splinters.::

 

[Ciaran]

"A close round; both fighters have strong attacks, and Winter Snow's layered defense matches Rini's powerful single defense. Individually, neither move has any real advantage over the other. But Winter Snow makes good use of the sweeping swing of the staff and guards effectively against Rini's impaling thrust, giving him the round. Point to Winter Snow."

Two flags Winter Snow, two flags neutral.

Winter Snow’s Eleventh Hand:
1: The mace impales the castle; negates the descent of the storm!

2: The dragon dodges with the paradise as it severs the Altar of the Ancestors; conceals the quickening of the mountain!

3: The irresistible lightning breaks the badlands; waves away the speed of the grass!

4: The whip nails the canyon; silences the edge of the spring!

5: The thunder falls above the forest; dodges the slash of the mountain!


Rini’s Eleventh Hand:
1: The rat lies within the tower; conceals the chi of the mountain!

2: The crane nails the ruins; scatters the slash of the wind!

3: The east wind obliterates the canyon; wards off the chi of the maze!

4: The hammer dexterously decimates the glade; guards against the punch of the cave!

5: The lotus blossom rides within the well; absorbs the onslaught of the venom!

The judge inclines his head to Rini. “A clever stratagem,” he observes. “Rini employs a powerful attack, enticing her opponent to respond with an apt defense. But Winter Snow’s focused defense is paired with a fatally flawed offense; the mace is a bludgeoning weapon, one incapable of impaling. Rini’s move is fundamentally superior, giving her the round. Point to Rini.”

Three flags neutral, one flag Winter Snow.
