Btw.
Groin please do not think there is anything like moral high-ground in there. Had the situation been reversed I would have surely written the things in the same manner.
So if you unbalance your opponent and he falls backwards he can see you and what you do and thence is still dangerous and you should go for the eliminating blow - but if you manage to throw your opponent face forwards to the ground (and manage to hit him while he falls) he will be out of the game for a moment and unable to parry so there you can think of a wish to not mutilate him if it's a fight for fun and not for life and death...
As we talked in the PM's, I do hope this gives you even more possibilities to play with your character! He surely is in a pressing spot now!
Not to say that he needs to meet Thornden right away! Some pressure indeed!
Also
lmp and
Lhuna; I hope the "go of it" serves the romance in one way or the other... whatever you decide.
And like always, if anything needs to be changed just point it to me and I'll do it.
