Kara in the sack fight:
Strength 3 - there's some there from hefting things about but not much. Agility 7 - she's light on her feet and used to dodging around things in the kitchen. Balance 7 - again pretty fair. Maybe you should put her up against Erbrand, Nog, see how he reacts. ![]()

Well, I haven't time now to decide ANYTHING for my characters, but I wanted to plead that you not continue with the events quite yet...until I get a chance to catch up.
Sorry I've been so scarce lately - life has been hectic of late. I am home tomorrow and have hope of being able to post. -- Foley

Alrighty, I've caught up on reading the posts on this thread. I'm not going to use numbers to describe my characters - I don't think that's fair: of course I want my characters to win.
![]() So, for the sack fight: Javan is short, as you all know. He has good balance and agility. However, he is aggressive AND impuslive, so I can totally see him taking a rash swing at someone with the sack and falling off the log because he throws himself off balance when his stroke doesn't do what it's supposed to - does that make sense? Use it as you will. I'd say he has a chance, but he has his draw backs. For the quarterstaff fight - Thornden is tall and strong and liable to be overbearing if necessary. He is skilled in this form of fighting, being swift with both his eyes and his actions so that he can parry and strike with precision and knowledge. Please don't have anyone TOO hurt in this. ![]() Will that do?

I have finally managed to read the posts I've missed - and I must say it even wasn't a big job. I should just always read the posts as they come, however busy I am.
![]() ![]() I will try to write something for Modtryth and/or Cnebba soon. I think they, especially Cnebba himself, would be excited by Cnebba's late performance in archery. ![]()

Nogrod or Lommy, Javan has addressed Cnebba and Garmund with a wager. I thought you'd like to know so you can have either of them answer as you will.

I could try to give it a go later today if our little recording session for Brinn doesn't take the whole evening.

Cool! Are you going to edit your post again, or write another one?
![]() This should be fun!

Groin...that was absolutely hilarious... I had to have Thornden laugh at least once or twice, because I was laughing myself. Quite an awkward, hilarious situation. Oh dear me. Have him answer however you will, I am really open to any sort of scene you want to make out of this.
Nogrod, I have posted for Javan. -- Foley

Hope this isn't too late.
Harreld is a little out of his element in the quarterstaff fight. He's a tradesman, not an warrior. Whereas his dexterity is above average, he has little experience with a quarterstaff, so does not know tricks and moves. It will all be instinct for him, which means he's at a disadvantage. His strength will not help him much. Eodwine is a soldier by profession and has had training in quarterstaff. He is above average in dexterity, but not much. Quarterstaff is not something he keeps in practice with, but he knows the skills. He might be perhaps a half step slower than the young guys due to his age. |
