Hawk Squad Training II 41 A.U.

From FiranMUX

Saturday, September 29, 2007, 2:55 PM -- June 41 A.U.

Anarinuell: Palace District -- Combat Training Center

Faedrus is allowed into the training center.

Faedrus comes to attention as he sees the Lord Centurion. "Good day, Sir!"

Faedrus looks over at Eriden and flashes a grin at his WSO.

Eriden salutes Marsalos and Faedrus, returning the grin, the nods to Kisandera. "Good day, Lord Centurion, Centurion, Sentry." Is rather proud that he remembered all the right titles for the right people.

Marsalos drops the tomato.

Kisandera arrived early in her usual combination of hairpins and armor. Her quarterstaff is lying beside her, and it appears she's been using some of the time to get in a bit of stick practice while waiting. As Eriden greets she turns and look at him, giving her fellow Bear a polite nod of recognition.

Marsalos strides into the training center in republic greens, his guards carrying a boatload of...tomatoes. He motions for the nice ripe fruits to be set somewhere where he can reach them, and regards who's shown up of his squad. "Good day, everyone."

Faedrus decides that he doesn't know Kisandera. Extending his hand, he says "I don't think that I know you. I'm Faedrus of Clan Chimera. I'm a pilot here!"

Kisandera glances round as there's a hand extended towards her. She looks up at Faedrus, down at his hand, then back up again. A polite nod follows and she takes his hand for the briefest of seconds. "Kisandera Davocelli, Bear clan and also pilot."

Marsalos lets his squad have their Kodak moments, nodding. "Two pilots and two archers today. Not a bad mix. This training is good for everyone, even if we think we're safe in the air." He smirks slightly, folding his arms. "Before we start, who can tell me why we might need such a skill as dodging?"

Eriden shrugs his shoulders slightly, trying to get used to the new armor and looks to the others to see if they'll answer first.

Faedrus raises his hand. "Because getting hit is a bad thing..... Faedrus adds "Sir!"

Kisandera's attention quickly switches to Marsalos. After Faedrus answers she adds, "Griffons are a large target, so easily aimed at and wanted taken down. We won't always be on them and even when we are we may need to duck quickly."

Marsalos nods to Faedrus and Kisandera, but before he speaks again he quirks a brow at Eriden, perhaps amused at the Sentry's reticence.

Eriden nods, "What they said, sir. Griffons are one of our strongest forms of attack, so they're going to try and knock us out of the air."

"Good, exactly." Marsalos nods, picking up one of the tomatoes and bouncing it in his hand. "We're not invincible, much as we do happen to be for the win." He smirks. "You're going to be facing fire up there. Not only that, but sometimes you'll be deployed on the ground and therefore targets of ground weapons as well." He gestures out in front of him. "Everyone come and line up."

Faedrus hesitates a bit as he sees his CO pick up a tomato, worried at what happens next, but does eventually step out in front.

Kisandera gets to her feet, moving quickly into line though with a little trepidation at the sight of the tomatoes.

Eriden lines up with the others, grinning a little. "Good thing baths are free, eh?"

Marsalos jostles the poor fruit in his hand, quirking a brow at his little line of victims. "When are you most likely to get hit, in combat?"

Faedrus looks puzzled. "When we are making an attack run on ground troops?", he says hesitantly.

"When you're not paying attention." Kisandera replies, adding quickly, "Sir." Eriden thinks for a moment, "When we're pulling up, after we've attacked them, maybe?"

"Sentry Kisandera gets the prize," Marsalos declares. "The answer's very simple. You're most likely to get hit when you're not paying attention. While you're concentrating elsewhere, you don't notice someone taking aim at you. Sitting duck." He starts walking up and down the line, noting each of their eyes.

<OOC: ROLL> Kisandera rolls her Attention at difficulty 8 and gets NO successes.

<OOC: ROLL> Eriden rolls his Attention at difficulty 8 and gets 3 successes.

<OOC: ROLL> Faedrus rolls his Attention at difficulty 8 and gets NO successes.

Marsalos aims his tomato at Kisandera!

Kisandera lets smugness take over for just a moment too long. She looks away from Marsalos - bad plan.

Eriden is watching Marsalos closely, aware of the others around him but knows where the danger lies.

Faedrus recoils as the tomatoes flies. "HOLY CRAP, SIR!", he exclaims.

Since Faedrus is making noise, Marsalos uses the opportunity to go for the other person who's not all with it - poor Kisandera.

Marsalos throws his tomato and attacks Kisandera with it.

Kisandera takes a hit to the lower back!

Tarran has arrived.

Tarran skips in and looks around

Faedrus looks at Kisandera's tomato covered back. Then he looks at Tarran and says silently, "RUN!"

• • Splat** The tomato hits Kisandera on the back and she immediately stiffens. A curse doesn't quite manage to make it from her lips, but she definitely thinks one. Loudly.

Ekenon has arrived.

Eriden bites his lip hard, really glad that he's standing beside Faedrus instead of Kisandera.

Tarran sees Ekenon enter and hands him a cherry tart, "Compliments of Prince Argin, sir."

Ekenon gets a tart placed in his hand with a bit of a surprise. Ekenon arches a brow and looks at the tart curiously before he gives a bit of a nod to Tarran. "Thank you"

Marsalos smirks, picking up another tomato as the first pelts his poor Sentry. "Just like that. If that had been an arrow? A sword blade? My Sentry might be dead by now, and not because she can't fight. But because she wasn't paying attention." He makes a motion for them to spread out now, starting to circle and weave through the small group. "Move away from each other. I have my eye on one of you right now. -Pay attention-."

<OOC: ROLL> Kisandera rolls her Attention at difficulty 8 and gets 1 success.

Ekenon arches a brow and looks around as it seems this is a tomato war. "Oh --- hell..." Ekenon just shakes his head. "Anyone looking for a spar?"

<OOC: ROLL> Faedrus rolls his Attention at difficulty 8 and gets 1 success.

Eriden backs up, sidling to the side to try and get out of Marsalos's range.

<OOC: ROLL> Eriden rolls his Attention at difficulty 8 and gets 2 successes.

Kisandera backs off, face set in a grimace of determination. Attention flicks between all those in the training center that she can see but always comes back to Marsalos.

Faedrus moves away from Kisandera, tries to use Eriden as a shield!

Tarran mutters to Ekenon, "I thinks they's trainin' to goes to war, sir. They's too busy for sparrin' an tarts. I'll gets them all later." This is a serious threat.

Marsalos continues through their ranks, eyes flicking from one person to the next. Seeing Eriden's awfully attentive, he glances at Kisandera, Faedrus quite well behind him. "Mer Ekenon," he says without turning around. "If you're in the mood for a spar I might have one for you in a minute..." Then without warning he turns around, lobbing the fruity weapon at Faedrus.

Marsalos misses Faedrus with his tomato.

Ekenon looks down at Tarran, the elderly old Commander shrugs. "I'm going to war, but I remember a time when your training for war involved something more solid. -- then looks to Marsalos. "-- is Commander, lord"

Faedrus watches as the missile arcs toward him. Moving out of the way, he watches as the tomato goes over his shoulder and hits the wall.

Tarran beams at Ekenon, "After I has my Ceremony I'll be goin' to war too, sir." He points at the ballista, "I's gonna sign up with the 'tillery."

Eriden cheers as Faedrus dodges, still keeping an eye on Marsalos and those tomatoes. "I hope you can do that in the air too!"

Ekenon glances once more to Tarran. "You're far too brave for such a ----- man, the -------- is the second largest target on the battlefield, cub"

Kisandera watches as Marsalos goes for Faedrus and the Chimeran dodges. With a shake of her head she moves a little further away but keeps up her flicking of gaze at all those present.

Faedrus wipes his brow. Looks at Eriden and says in a low voice, "That was close!"

Tarran grins and shakes his head firmly, full of the confidence of youth, "They won'ts get me sir. An I'll shoot down all their griffs .. pow!.. pow!.. pow!"

Ekenon just raises a brow before he gives a slight grunt then. "You had better ----- how to defend yourself rather well before you go ------- --- ballista"

"Commander, pardon," Marsalos replies absently, though his attention's on his squad. "Good. If you hadn't been aware, I likely would have hit you. You -cannot- let your attention get distracted by things during a fight. Sentry Kisandera, wield your staff and step in on Sentry Eriden."

Kisandera blinks for a moment, then tosses aside her bow and quiver and moves in towards Eriden.

Tarran backpedals as the soldier gets out his sword, then relaxes as he attacks the dummy. "I can use a spear quite good, sir. What I really needs is to improve my fist fightin'."

Eriden startles and glances from Marsalos to Kisandera. "And what would you have me do, sir?"

Faedrus backs away from the two, cautious as to what happens next.

COMBAT: Kisandera tries to get into a position to attack Eriden, but fails.

Ekenon slashes at the dummy's back before he turns to look at Tarran. "Smart idea, if you ever need help when you get older... come find me, I am the master trainer for the Ticanee clan"

COMBAT: Kisandera tries to get into a position to attack Eriden, but fails.

Eriden doesn't want to get hit with the stick, so keeps backing -juuust- out of range.

Tarran beams and bows, "Cool .. I will, sir, thanks you's very much. But I'd best scoot right now. I has tarts to give away." He turns to go then pauses and adds, "May Lady Kamnestra shower you with blessings, sir."

COMBAT: Kisandera tries to get into a position to attack Eriden, but fails.

Ekenon gives a nod at Tarran. "Totems guide you" Ekenon then turns to watch the fight, his gaze is critical, and he awaits to see if Marsalos is going to give any pointers.... Tough for a Master Trainer not to say anything, but he keeps his mouth shut

Tarran has left.

COMBAT: Kisandera tries to get into a position to attack Eriden, but fails.

Kisandera keeps stepping forwards, though Eriden keeps stepping back. "Stand still." is muttered in his direction as she steps forward again.

COMBAT: Kisandera gets into a position to attack Eriden.

Marsalos' attention is on Eriden rather than Kisandera, watching the male Sentry keep backing away. He looks amused more than anything, though he notes Kisandera's stance. "You're attacking, Sentry, not hiding away like a frightened child. Step -in-, I said."

Ekenon glances to Marsalos before Ekenon takes a few steps forward. "Keep your staff up, keep it ready" Ekenon raises his sword in mock display

Marsalos' comment earns him a quick dirty look from Kisandera, but seems to do the trick. She steps in and this time her staff actually goes in the right direction.

Kisandera aims and pounds Eriden with her ~v~ Dark Feathered Wooden Quarterstaff -<<<>.

Eriden takes a hit to the belly!

Faedrus winces as he feels Eriden's pain.

Marsalos holds up a hand to Kisandera after she strikes, and it connects well. He looks at Eriden. "Sentry, she got you right in the gut." Like he needs to point that out. "Where were you looking just then?" He then turns his head a bit as Ekenon comments, stepping to the side slightly to let the Commander into their circle if he chooses to approach.

Eriden doubles over and rubs his stomach a little. "Um, I was watching her face when I probably should've been watching her hands?"

Ekenon glances to Eriden then. "Planning -- leaving your ---- open for an attack?" Ekenon removes is iron helmet and tosses it to the side before planting the tip of his sword in the floor of the training center, leaving it stuck there as he steps in. "You have hands for a reason, let your hands parry the blow, catch the staff, knock it out of the way or just move your whole body"

Kisandera catches Marsalos' gesture and pauses, not striking again. There's a very quietly muttered comment that may well have been an apology, but is forgotten as Ekenon steps in and she moves to give him room.

Marsalos nods slightly to Eriden. "Half right. But you don't want all your attention on her hands, either. Her hands aren't telling you where she's about to hit, just that she's about to do it. The aim is in her entire body, particularly the waist." He glances at Ekenon, pausing for the Ticanee to give direction as well, then nods to Kisandera. "Circle him, then strike again."

Kisandera nods once and then moves, tapping the tip of her staff off the ground a couple of times before...

Kisandera aims and whomps Eriden with her ~v~ Dark Feathered Wooden Quarterstaff -<<<>.

Eriden takes a hit to the chest!

Faedrus mutters a "crap", as he watches Kisandera pummel Eriden.

Ekenon looks then to Marsalos and steps back out of the way, realizing this isn't his show. Ekenon points a finger at Faedrus. "Wanna spar?" The elderly man questions

Eriden makes a face as his chest is hit, although the armor absorbs all of the blow. "Alright, her waist, you say, sir?" He focuses on Kisandera, "Can we try it again?"

Faedrus looks at Ekenon, then at Marsalos. Then back at Ekenon. "Sir, it depends on my CO, Sir."

Ekenon nods at this. "Well I am a Master Trainer, so... I can give you advice" Ekenon says "On fighting that is"

Kisandera's blows sound good, but hat's about all that can be said for them. She glances over to Marsalos for orders.

Faedrus looks at Ekenon. "Yes, of course, sir!"

Ekenon gives a bit of a wave of his hand. "Ready your weapon, soldier"

Marsalos holds up a hand again to Kisandera. "Better," he comments to Eriden, having been watching the man's eyes and body. As Eriden requests to Kissy to try again, he nods to Kisandera and leaves them alone for a minute, looking over at Faedrus and Ekenon. A brow arches as his Sentry heads off to do something else, but he doesn't address it in front of the others, just taking note of that.

Kisandera begins to circle again, going entirely round Eriden before...

Kisandera misses Eriden with her ~v~ Dark Feathered Wooden Quarterstaff -<<<>.

Faedrus looks at Ekenon, "Um, Sir...this is my CO's class. I thought that you were offering advice on combat. I would need my CO's permission to spar with you, Sir."

Ekenon nods then and waves a hand for Faedrus. "Then ask him, I will spar you and give you advice, I have given your CO advice in the past"

Faedrus looks between Marsalos and Ekenon, not wishing to be put in the middle of this. Looking back at Ekenon, "Sir, I'm sorry, but I need to be paying attention to the class, Sir."

Eriden manages to get out of the way this time, and grins at Kisa. "I see what you mean, Sir. I think I got it."

Ekenon puts his sword back away before he nods once again. The old commander then makes a move towards the door

Kisandera doesn't return the smile, she's not big on smiling, but she does give a nod of approval for the dodge.

"Spar him, Sentry Faedrus," Marsalos raises his voice slightly. "Go one round then return. I will switch you off." He nods to Eriden and Kisandera. "Perfect, Sentry. That's what you need to be looking for. Again."

"Again?" Kisandera repeats, nodding once and then lunging straight in.

Kisandera aims and pounds Eriden with her ~v~ Dark Feathered Wooden Quarterstaff -<<<>.

Eriden takes a hit to the left ear!

Faedrus looks at his Commanding Officer, "Yes, sir!". He looks to Ekenon. "Sir, if you are ready?", he asks.

Eriden -almost- makes it out of the way, but the staff catches the side of his head, making his ear ring. "Okay, maybe I don't."

Ekenon turns around when Faedrus calls out to him then. "Your go, Sentry" Ekenon awaits to see how good this man is at fighting against an elderly old man

Marsalos chuckles, motioning for Kisandera to back off. "Reverse it. Sentry Kisandera, unwield and get ready. Sentry Eriden, wield and step in."

Faedrus readies his spear, keeping the point pointed against Ekenon.

Kisandera actually does apologize this time, a quiet, "Sorry." as she steps back a little and peers at Eriden's ear. At the order from Marsalos she does as she's told, backing of completely and letting him come to her.

COMBAT: Kisandera disengages Eriden, halting her attack.

Eriden nods, "It's okay, not that bad at all. Um, mind if I borrow your staff?"

Marsalos eyes Eriden. "What's your normal secondary weapon, Sentry?"

Kisandera clearly wasn't expecting the question, it takes her a moment to reply with a nod. The staff is picked up once more and tossed at Eriden's feet.

"The quarterstaff, Lord Centurion." Eriden answers. "I didn't bring it though."

Feeling much better, Faedrus continues his attack.

COMBAT: Faedrus gets into a position to attack Ekenon.

Ekenon nods as Faedrus gets in on him easy enough. "Good, keep your spear held up, even if I cant hit --- with my sword, you still should be on the defensive as well -- the offensive"

Marsalos motions for Eriden to carry on. "Have it on you next time. Step in."

COMBAT: Ekenon tries to escape Faedrus, but fails.

Faedrus misses Ekenon with his Republic Issued Iron Spear.

Faedrus thrusts with his spear, then brings it up to slash, but misses Ekenon. Recovering, he prepares for another attack.

Ekenon parries Faedrus's attack with his sword. "Keep your ----- so you can do up ---- or downward thrusts, don't slash, its not a sword"

COMBAT: Ekenon tries to escape Faedrus, but fails.

His spear point up, he tries to strike with the butt of his spear.

Faedrus aims and pierces Ekenon with his Republic Issued Iron Spear.

Ekenon takes a hit to the right shin!

Ekenon gets a light hit to his shin with the spear but it doesn't seem to really phase the old commander terribly much. "Use the pointy end, no point in just bruising me"

COMBAT: Ekenon gets away from Faedrus.

Eriden winces slightly, embarrassed that he left that home. "Yes, sir." He nods his thanks to Kisa and..

COMBAT: Eriden gets into a position to attack Kisandera.

COMBAT: Faedrus tries to get into a position to attack Ekenon, but fails.

COMBAT: Ekenon gets into a position to attack Faedrus.

Ekenon pulls his spear out quickly in case the younger man gets in on him but when Ekenon keeps him at a distance, he grabs his sword once more and makes his move. "Your too obvious"

Marsalos steps back a bit, watching Kisandera now more than Eriden. He motions for Eriden to hit once. "Watch him, Kisandera."

Faedrus watches as Ekenon moves out of range and presses the attack, trying to find an opening.

Kisandera is small, she's ready, she's... probably going to get hit.

COMBAT: Faedrus gets away from Ekenon.

Faedrus watches carefully, then moves back to re-evaluate the situation.

Eriden aims and smashes Kisandera with his ~v~ Dark Feathered Wooden Quarterstaff -<<<>.

Kisandera takes a hit to the chest!

Ekenon grabs up his spear on the move when Faedrus manages to slip away. "Good move, now come and get me"

COMBAT: Faedrus gets into a position to attack Ekenon. Ekenon may attack also.

Faedrus moves into position, ready to thrust with the spear. He takes a moment to smile at Ekenon, then gets serious.

Kisandera feints left, moves right, and straight into the tip of her own spear. Her breath leaves and she stumbles.

Faedrus thrusts Ekenon hard with his Republic Issued Iron Spear!

Ekenon takes a hit to the right bicep!

Bam. Marsalos holds a hand towards Eriden, nodding to Kisandera. "A swing to the most obvious spot on your body, Sentry. Stop playing feint games with him, you've just cost yourself." He nods to Eriden. Again.

Ekenon aims and stabs Faedrus with his iron spear.

Faedrus takes a hit to the right forearm!

Faedrus feels the spear connect and pierce the right bicep. Wow...that's gonna hurt in the morning.

Faedrus misses Ekenon with his Republic Issued Iron Spear.

Eriden acks, and looks like he wants to apologize, but just nods. "Yes, sir." He watches Kisa carefully and swings again..

Eriden misses Kisandera with his ~v~ Dark Feathered Wooden Quarterstaff -<<<>.

Faedrus tries to attack again, but Ekenon's strike on his right forearm distracts him.

Ekenon grunts in obvious pain when the spear catches his unarmored bicep. "Well hell..." Ekenon takes his time to find an opening, catching Faedrus in the arm before he knocks the man's spear away with his arm as he moves in to attack again, "Play mind games, make me think your going to hit me -- --- stomach, then come up to my head"

Kisandera coughs and readies herself again, this time turning and skipping back so that the staff-tip swishes through the air where her shoulder had been a moment before.

Faedrus replies, "Just a feint, Sir"

Faedrus thrusts Ekenon hard with his Republic Issued Iron Spear!

Ekenon takes a hit to the waist!

Ekenon aims and penetrates Faedrus with his iron spear.

Faedrus takes a hit to the right shin!

Faedrus thrusts hard into Ekenon at the same time Ekenon strikes his right shin.

Ekenon gets caught then in his waist, its obvious the spear isn't this elderly man's favored weapon, but he still seems to hold his own well enough with the weapon

Faedrus looks at Ekenon, not wanting to cause permanent damage. "Continue, Sir?"

Ekenon says "Unless you want to yield"

"Excellent." Marsalos says to Kisandera, proudly. "He's going to be playing plenty of games with you while attacking, you don't have time to play back." He nods to Eriden to hit again, and calls over. "Commander, let me know when you're ready for another one over there!"

Ekenon aims and pokes Faedrus with his iron spear.

Faedrus takes a hit to the hips!

Faedrus smiles at Ekenon, "Then continue, Sir"

Faedrus aims and thrusts Ekenon with his Republic Issued Iron Spear.

Ekenon takes a hit to the chest!

Ekenon says "Yield, ---"

COMBAT: Faedrus disengages Ekenon, halting his attack.

Eriden pulls back a bit, switching the staff from hand to hand and watching how she dodges, making mental notes to try some of that, and focuses on trying to catch Kisa off guard.

Eriden misses Kisandera with his ~v~ Dark Feathered Wooden Quarterstaff -<<<>.

Ekenon gives a bow to Faedrus. "Nice fight, you going to be at the front?" Ekenon then looks over at Marsalos. "Send someone over"

Faedrus looks over at Ekenon. "Sir, are you ok?", he says with concern in his voice.

Ekenon looks back to Faedrus. "I may be 20 years your senior, --- I am as healthy as you are, don't worry about me"

Kisandera lets a flicker of a smile build as Marsalos's gives his approval, readying and waiting for the strike. She moves quickly, ducking and moving once more out of range.

Marsalos nods to Kisandera again. "Good, very good. There's that focus. Alright, stop. Sentry Faedrus, back over here. Sentry Kisandera, go and spar Commander Ekenon for a bit." Poor Eriden gets to stay here with the boss.

Faedrus smiles at Ekenon. "Yes, Sir. Thank you for a good fight, Sir." He comes to attention, "FTW, Sir!" He then returns to Marsalos' class.

Ekenon looks then to the next person he is supposed to spar. Ekenon arches brow, a woman... and a rather small one at that. Ekenon shrugs. "Ready when you are"

Faedrus presents himself to Marsalos, standing at attention.

Eriden frowns slightly, a little nervous about fighting with Marsalos. "Thank you, Sentry," is said to Kisa, then he bows to Mars.

Kisandera moves away from Eriden, bowing to him before holding a hand out for her staff.

Ekenon gives a wave to Kisandera to come his way. "You any ---- with ---- thing?" He questions, pointing to the staff

Kisandera retrieves her weapon and lets the healers tend to her wounds before turning and bowing to Ekenon. She blinks as he speaks to her. "Pardon, Sir?"

Marsalos smirks at Faedrus, nodding. Then he considers Eriden, frowning. "Now you're weaponless, Sentry. Go get one, and hurry up." He turns to face Faedrus, that said, and raises his sword. "Same exercise I've been doing with these two, Sentry. While Sentry Eriden tries to remember where the weapon is that he should be carrying with him."

Eriden winces and flees to get his staff.

Eriden rushes back in with his staff, and a sword he has no skill with--but better safe than sorry at this point.

Kisandera ohs, understanding this time. "I know which way is up." At least she's honest about it.

Ekenon ohs, then shrugs a bit. "Well, I will --- you have the first -----" He points to himself in case she doesn't understand. "Come at me"

Faedrus waits for Marsalos' attack, watching the sword.

Marsalos is about to move in on Faedrus, but then Lightning Eriden comes back in. He steps back, nodding Eriden towards Faedrus. "Step in."

Kisandera nods, not catching all of what was said but understanding the meaning at least.

COMBAT: Kisandera gets into a position to attack Ekenon.

Marsalos arches a brow at Faedrus as he comes closer. "No, Sentry. Sentry Eriden will be attacking you. You are going to dodge his hits."

COMBAT: Faedrus disengages Marsalos, halting his attack.

Kisandera pounds Ekenon hard with her ~v~ Dark Feathered Wooden Quarterstaff -<<<>!

Ekenon takes a hit to the right shin!

Ekenon nods as Kisa moves in on him. "Nice move, now swing that thing with all you have, but don't let me get awa..." he doesn't get to finish what he was saying when his feet are taken out from under him

COMBAT: Ekenon gets away from Kisandera.

COMBAT: Faedrus tries to get into a position to attack Eriden, but fails.

Eriden bows to Marsalos, then nods to Faedrus. "Yes Lord, sorry about that."

COMBAT: Eriden tries to get into a position to attack Faedrus, but fails.

Marsalos tilts his head at Faedrus. "Sentry, do you -listen-? Sentry Eriden will be attacking you, not you on him."

COMBAT: Ekenon gets into a position to attack Kisandera.

Kisandera may be small but she can be fast when needs be. Though perhaps a little too 'Bear' as she waits for Ekenon to get to his feet again before doing anything.

Faedrus glances at Marsalos, "Yes, sir"

COMBAT: Eriden tries to get into a position to attack Faedrus, but fails.

Marsalos smirks. "...if he can."

COMBAT: Kisandera tries to escape Ekenon, but fails.

Ekenon is back up on his feet and then in on Kisandera before she probably really catches what happens. "--- know you can move those feet right? Your fast, so use that to your advantage"

Ekenon aims and hits Kisandera with his iron long sword.

Kisandera takes a hit to the belly!

COMBAT: Eriden tries to get into a position to attack Faedrus, but fails.

Curse manners. Whatever Kisandera's reply was to be is lost in the hit that she takes.

COMBAT: Kisandera tries to escape Ekenon, but fails.

Faedrus dances in and out of Eriden's reach, watching the staff carefully.

Ekenon aims and cleaves Kisandera with his iron long sword.

Kisandera takes a hit to the belly!

Eriden is flustered because he got caught out without his staff and can't seem to find the proper stance. "Heh." He takes a (hopefully) calming breath.

COMBAT: Eriden gets into a good position to attack Faedrus.

Ekenon catches Kisandera twice in a row in the belly, he then reaches out with his sword to tap on her helmet. "Hey, pay attention, that staff is the best defensive weapon you could use, its big, its light --- its quick... block my swings, save yourself"

Kisandera isn't used to swords, and though she tries to block with her staff the hit he takes once more knocks her back.

COMBAT: Kisandera tries to get away from Ekenon, but fails terribly, exhausting herself.

Faedrus watches as Eriden closes, hands spread to react to a blow.

Ekenon hits Kisandera hard with his iron long sword!

Kisandera takes a hit to the left cheek!

Eriden aims and belts Faedrus with his Wooden Quarterstaff with Red Leather Grip.

Faedrus takes a hit to the waist!

Kisandera tries to duck this hit, but instead earns herself a sliced face.

COMBAT: Kisandera tries to get away from Ekenon, but fails terribly, exhausting herself.

Faedrus oofs as the staff sinks into his gut. He looks up at Marsalos, "Ok...NOW can I do something?"

Ekenon misses Kisandera with his iron long sword.

Ekenon finally has his sword parried by the woman and Ekenon gives a bit of a nod. "Good, now do that same thing again!"

Eriden strikes quickly, dodging in and hitting Faedrus, trying to just tap him, and not hot too hard. He grins at Faedrus, "Sorry?" and looks for an opening to hit him again.

Kisandera didn't so much parry as fall in the right direction to duck. She tries once more to back off and regroup.

COMBAT: Kisandera tries to escape Ekenon, but fails.

Faedrus looks at Eriden. "No worries," he says as he uncurls himself off the end of the staff.

Ekenon aims and wails on Kisandera with his iron long sword.

Kisandera takes a hit to the chest!

Ekenon slices Kisandera in her chest this time and takes a step back. "You done?"

Kisandera is down this time, struggling to breathe from the hit to her chest. "I think... broken." She wheezes, the words not easy to understand.

Eriden misses Faedrus with his Wooden Quarterstaff with Red Leather Grip.

COMBAT: Ekenon disengages Kisandera, halting his attack.

Ekenon puts his sword away and waves for the healers to help out Kisandera. "You did well, Mes" He gives a wink at her

Faedrus moves to the side as he sees Eriden's strike come in. He watches Eriden for the next move.

"Sentry." Kisandera wheezes at Ekenon, "Not... Mes."

A swing.. and a miss. "Nicely done!" Eriden shifts back a few steps, studying Faedrus then striking again..

Faedrus takes a hit to the chest!

Ekenon nods then before giving a wave to those in the center. "See you at the front" With that, the elderly man steps out

Ekenon has his wounds tended to by the healers and then leaves.

Faedrus reels back as he feel the impact. He doesn't want to see the bruise tomorrow. He looks up at Marsalos, "Now sir??"

Kisandera is dragged to one side by the healers and eventually declared to not be broken as she thought. Her breathing is still ragged but at least Ekenon's no longer beating on her.

Marsalos holds up a hand to Eriden. "Good. You two switch. Sentry Faedrus, wield and step in. Sentry Eriden, unwield." He looks over at Kisandera. "How did it go?"

COMBAT: Eriden disengages Faedrus, halting his attack.

Eriden nods at that and grins at Faedrus, "Now's your chance to get some revenge."

Faedrus breaths a sigh of relief. "Finally," looking at Eriden with sweeeeet revenge.

Faedrus looks at Marsalos. "Sir, do you want me to use my spear or my fists?"

Marsalos replies simply, "Spear."

Aw man, pointy things. Eriden sets his staff aside and shifts into a defensive stance, hands loose at his sides and watching Faedrus carefully.

COMBAT: Faedrus gets into a good position to attack Eriden.

Faedrus moves in to attack Eriden, ready to slash with the spear.

Faedrus slashes in, connecting with Eriden's head. Feeling bad, he pauses, "Eriden? You ok?"

Eriden tries to step back away from the spear but misjudges his steps and doesn't get far enough away. "Yeah, I'm good. Let's go again?" He rubs his head a little and tries to shake it off.

Faedrus stabs Eriden hard with his Republic Issued Iron Spear!

Eriden takes a hit to the belly!

Kisandera stays with the healers for a while, then eventually gets taken outside to have her suspected break seen to. Training's over for her for now.

Faedrus feels really bad about beating up on poor Eriden. "Eriden, buddy? You ok? I hit you pretty hard."

Eriden grunts and puts a hand over his stomach for a second, then straightens up, trying to watch how Faedrus is going to hit next. "I'm good." It's not quite as confident as before, but he's not backing off yet. "We can keep going."

Marsalos keeps an eye on Eriden and Faedrus, even as he picks up a tomato again and bounces it in his hand. "You're doing much better now, Sentry," he comments to Eriden, even if the poor guy's still getting hit. "I can see you're watching the right way. You're just not reacting quickly enough. You're headed in the right direction."

Faedrus sticks Eriden hard with his Republic Issued Iron Spear!

Faedrus takes one look at Eriden and decides that he's taken one too many hits. Moving to a defensive position, he looks at Marsalos. "Sir, permission to disengage?"

Marsalos waves a hand for Faedrus to move back, nodding. "I think we're done here for now, unless you two wish to keep sparring. Very good work, both of you."

Eriden starts to argue... but can't really stand up straight. "Thank you, Lord. I think I just have to get a little faster at it. Trying to dodge while injured was harder than I thought it'd be."

Faedrus looks at Eriden, still keeping his defensive posture. "Sir, I think I've beaten up on Eriden enough, if that is ok.", he says apologetically

"Were he armed, it might be a different story," Marsalos comments to Faedrus, mildly. "We're finished with the class. Some armed sparring practice might be good for both of you, but that's up to you. Dismissed, if you like."

COMBAT: Faedrus disengages Eriden, halting his attack.

Faedrus offers a hand to Eriden. "Sorry about that, Eri. No hard feelings?", he asks.

Eriden shakes Faedrus's hand, "None at all, Faed, it was good work!" The healers fuss over him and he breathes a sigh of relief when they're done. "What do you say? Up for armed sparring?"

Faedrus looks askance at Eriden. "I'm up for a round or two if you are." He adds, "if you feel like it."

Eriden bounces a little, "I'm feeling much better, let's go a round!"

Faedrus takes his spear off and readies it with a yell!

COMBAT: Eriden gets into a position to attack Faedrus. Faedrus may attack also.

Faedrus waves the healers over to take care of Eri.

Faedrus looks at Eriden. "You about ready to call it a day?"

Eriden dusts himself off and offers Faedrus and hand, as well as a grin. "I think so, enough beating each other up for today."

Faedrus a big smile crosses his face. "Excellent! It was good to spar with you!" He turns to head for the door. "Hey Eriden? FTW!"

Eriden laughs! "FTW!"
