Fight:Alah v Henry

Henry stretches, warming up for the battle before taking his whip from his belt, taking a threatening pose, the silly grin still on his face.

You stands across from Henry, laughing slightly at the grin on his face. With a steely hiss, her sword is drawn forth and the girl sinks into a defensive posture behind her shield. As the adrenaline rushes into her at the thought of battle, the paladin moves forward, weapon poised to strike.

Henry wasn't ready, raising his shield to protective his face with a yelp. You strikes at with her sword, careful to check the blow since it is a friendly battle. A slight whistling sound emanates as the steel slices through the air in an arc meant to rattle the man's shield.

Henry falls backwards to the ground but turns the fall in to a backwards roll on to his feet revealing some training. His heart was now beating double time. Strikes out with his whip, aimming for Alah's feet.

You : The paladin had thought this battle would be too easy with the man's first reaction to her advance, causing her to underestimate his agility. As the whip curls quickly about her feet, a squeal escapes her lips. The whip pulling at her feet combined with the weight of her mismatched armor cause the girl to fall to her back with an audible thud. Quicly kicking the whip loose, she rolls to her side and uses her shield to defend herself as she regains her feet. Circling back around, her eyes narrow and dart to his left feinting with her eyes as her sword sweeps in a downward arc from the other side toward his shoulder.

Henry /bit his lip at the crashing sound accompaning the yelp, managing to resist the urge to rush over and offer help. As she approaches again, he keeps his eyes on her blade, missing her trick entirely, bashing his shield against her blade as much offencive than defensive.

You 's blade slams into Henry's shield with a resounding crash, the vibrations from the impact reverberating through her arm and up through her shoulder. Clenching her teeth against the pain, the paladin uses the forward motion of her strike to sink low and kick her leg out in a sweeping motion seeking to dislodge the warrior from his feet. As she moves, she sweeps her shield up to block any attempt to strike out at her.

Henry also felt the vibrations through his arm, the goofy grin creeping on to his lips before he is swiped from his feet. It happened too fast for him to turn it in to a role like before. On the ground he lashes his whip out, regardless of her defence.

You rises once more to her feet as the man's feet are swept from under him. Raising her sword and drawing it down in a triumphant sweep, she is taken offguard by the quick motion of his whip. Of course, she is too close for the crack of the leather to be effective, but the butt of the whip cracks painfully into the side of her knee with an audible snap. Whimpering in pain, the girl falls to her back, all thoughts of battle washed from her mind by the pain of her rapidly swelling knee.
