Subject: **There is another sound in the woods, though very different from the first** Author: Kinnan Ulfe [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:12:47 08/07/01 Tue **A deep, rumbling bass voice rises above the other noises so that all can hear** You see, I was not as far away as you thought! **Into the clearing striding between the intruders, comes a massive wolf. He is wearing a tight leather jerkin and there is a broadsword at his back. He peers at the wildcats and then growls** You! Whatever-You-Wanna-Call-Yerself-With-a-Walloppin'-Long-Name! Grisiga! I answer your challenge! My name is Kinnan Ulfe, leader and weapons master of Quanshaire! **His eyes narrow** You will retract your insults immediately and surrender, or die! **Draws his sword and stands menacingly, a cold battle light in his normally warm brown eyes** [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date **The tall, lithe wildcat meets his eye and arches her brows delicately, though her eyes are hard** And I am Tarriana Jersolia Montaba Gherabago. Hmm. You are rather...large. And insulting as well. **Half-smiles** But will you take me instead? **Draws her blade and takes up a ready position** My father is a general; he directs forces, but does not waste his time fighting. Surely you are not afraid of a girl, are you? **Laughs quietly** I dare you. (NT) Tarriana 08:27:37 08/07/01 Tue I fear nothing, madam. **Fingers his blade before returning to his stance** If you wish to fight me, then so be it! But be prepared to lose horribly! And to die....**His voice trails of menacingly into a growl** The first move is yours. Ladies first, always! **Suddenly smiles a genuine smile** I have not drawn blood in a long time... **Laughs** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 08:36:22 08/07/01 Tue **Matches smile for smile** Oh, I don't think it is I who shall be dying today. No, definitely not I! **Raises her sword before her face in a salute, her golden eyes flashing on either side of the blade as she eyes him. Slowly she lowers her blade to point directly at his heart and takes a quick step forward** And now, we begin! **Slashes at his left side and feints to the right, careful not to tread on his footpaws** (NT) Tarriana 11:38:17 08/07/01 Tue **Kicks out with his left leg to knock the blade away** I don't think so, my dear. I am not that easy to bring down! **Pulls quickly to one side, swiping at her lower legs with his broadsword** Let's see 'ow high you can jump, shall we? **Turns so that he is still facing her** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 11:45:15 08/07/01 Tue **As her blade is kicked away, she leaps into the air and comes back to earth behind the wolf. Her teeth are bared and her claws extended as she makes a swipe at his face before bounding backwards a pace** 'Ow was that? **Grins cheekily and thrusts her sword forward, straight at his stomach** (NT) Tarriana 19:41:18 08/07/01 Tue **Pulls his face out of reach of her claws and parleys the sword thrust with a powerful stroke from his broadsword** Not bad for a kitten! **Smiles back, matching her expression eye for eye** Not bad at all. **Swings the broadsword over his head and towards the left side of her neck while kicking out with his right footpaw towards the side of her knee** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 14:30:58 08/08/01 Wed **Meets his sword with hers, striking back and countering the blow. She doubles under the kick to her knees for a few moments, but regains her poise and paces around him, watching him cooly** Interesting move there. **Leaps forward, sword arm advanced, but not so far as to leave herself completely unguarded** (NT) Tarriana 20:13:09 08/08/01 Wed Thanks. **Parleys her strike, letting the blades lock for a moment before pushing hard against his own blade in an effort to shove her backwards** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 12:44:48 08/09/01 Thu **Does not break the lock, but strains against her own sword, not giving an inch. Suddenly she twists her blade counter-clockwise and jerks it to the right, a disarming move** (NT) Tarriana 15:32:04 08/09/01 Thu **Holds his broadsword in the spin, his wrist twisting so as not to loosen his grip. As her blade goes to the right, he pulls also, following her move, and then retracting his blade** Nice try. Better luck next time, dear! **Flashes a smile before lunging towards her left flank, trying to catch her unguarded** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 18:36:35 08/09/01 Thu **Kicks the blade away from her flank, knicking her footpaw, but escaping any other damage. She grins** Thought I'd steal that one from you! I do hope you don't mind! **Steps lightly to one side and raises her blade for another slice, this time to the right side of his neck and face** (NT) Tarriana 13:23:29 08/10/01 Fri **Brings his broadsword up in a sharp parley to her slice. He grins** Nice move, there, too bad it didn't work! **Takes his hilt in both paws and brings it crashing straight down at her skull** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 14:59:34 08/10/01 Fri **Springs nimbly to one side, ducking into a roll. She uncoils swiftly to her feet and springs at his back, claws outstretched, trying to rake them down his back. She is smiling again, a cold, pitiless smile** (NT) Tarriana 08:37:25 08/11/01 Sat **Leaps forward to dodge the claw-swipe, but catches the tail of her attack. He cringes as the claws sweep across his back-fur, leaving three thin blood trails. He spins on her, no longer even pretending to be friendly** Alright, cat, now you're in for it! **Growls and the fur on the nape of his neck stands on end. He comes straight at her, jaws snapping at her neck, sword swinging towards her gut** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 17:43:23 08/12/01 Sun **Her eyes become icy and her voice just as frozen** Nobeast calls Tarriana Jersolia Montaba Gherabago "cat" and lives, wolf! **Parries the swing at her gut and swipes her claws again at his face as it draws near to her neck** (NT) Tarriana 07:58:32 08/13/01 Mon **Growls in his throat as the claws rake across his face. His eyes become blood red with fury as he raises his broadsword over his head. He lets out a howl and brings the sword blade crashing down at her** Let's see just how quick on your paws you can be! (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 12:58:16 08/13/01 Mon **Dances to one side, then another, dodging the blows. She has her sword raised over her head in defence, clutched in both paws, but her claws are still at the ready. She counters as best she can, throwing her full strength into her blade** (NT) Tarriana 19:41:37 08/14/01 Tue **The blades lock and Kinnan is pushed back a step by the ferocity of her attack. Suddenly he twists his blade and jerks it away, trying to get her to stumble** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 15:56:55 08/15/01 Wed **Sees her father fall and cries out, fear in her eyes for the first time. She is not afraid of the masive wolf, but for her father. She sees their band being beaten slowly but surely by the Quanshaire beasts. Her face is filled with a sudden wrath and she lunges at the wolf, teeth bared and claws extended on one paw, sword crashing straight at his chest in the other** I will not be defeated! (NT) Tarriana 19:58:06 08/15/01 Wed
