[YB] The Viper falls to Shiba Temuro! (LuYangShih judged)

[Ciaran]

The assassin idly spins the dagger between her fingers. "Let's make this quick," she says. "A two flag standard match."

 

[Knight Otu]

"Show me if you can hold up in hand to hand combat. That is not exactly a common skill of assassins."

The twisting fox falls facing the cemetery; negates the push of the storm!

Chi Strike!

 

[Ciaran]

"You will find me adept in all forms of combat," says the woman as she lunges toward the samurai, her cloak billowing out behind her like a pair of black wings.

The raven wracks the marsh; defends against the punch of the bone!

 

[LuYangShih]

"Shiba Temuros attack has great grace, but lacks almot any offensive power or synergy. The Vipers attack shows a higher degree of strength, and as the defenses are equal, she wins this round. 1 Flag Viper, 1 Flag Neutral!"

 

[Ciaran]

Not knowing the depths of Temuro's mastery of the style, the Viper unwittingly leaves herself vulnerable as her hands flash through the movements of the Spider-Quelling Strike.

The spider quells the vineyard; quells the chi of the cave!

 

[Knight Otu]

The rat tumbles next to the cliff; dodges the push of the shell!

Seeing the vulnerable style Viper uses, Temuro quickly moves in with dodging, tumbling steps to avoid a stray attack by the assassin, although he is confident none will get through.

 

[Ciaran]

(I'm surprised you didn't use Fist of Fury here. )

 

[LuYangShih]

"Shiba Temuros masterful understanding of the Spider Discipline grants him the victory in this round. 2 Flags Neutral!"

 

[Knight Otu]

(I'm surprised you didn't use Fist of Fury here. )

(Maybe I'm too honorable. Or plain stupid. )

The southern cross illuminates the shrine; leaps over the stab of the ledge!

Temuro's katana flares up as he attempts to leap over the assassin to confuse her, so he can strike from behind.

 

[Ciaran]

The Viper's blade flashes in the morning light as she attempts to stab Temuro in the gut.

The unicorn impales the ravine; avoids the blood of the bird!
