[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:06:28 09/16/01 Sun Author Host/IP: NoHost/66.41.194.206 In reply to: Terranix 's message, "((OOC: Yeah...it confused me, but I've got a counter that stops it before it gets too comlicated...)) ''Lead'' vermin? *Smirks.* Of the Rhaken Kull, aye, but not Sampetra...& the invasion is hardly formal, yet. *Sees the charge coming at him somewhat unconcerned, the larger part of it invalidated by his fencers stance as he simply extends his arm & thrusts the katana straight out at the mouse's chest, seeing the slash come in at his side, fake or no, he quickly drops his other arm from it's slightly slanted right-angular position, straigtening it catching the sword between the blades & striking against the solid base of it, the slatted area of the thick lower section of it acting as a sword-breaker as he twists savagley.* ((Swordbreakers...they work. Very effectivley. Eh-heh.))" on 16:09:28 09/16/01 Sun [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date ((Right, swordbreakers were used very minimally by only very elite members of the militant population. Usually, it consists of three blades played straight out(Like Terr's tri-blade prosthetic.)or splayed in a one-up with two diaginal prongs. When you faked for my side, I met it midway, your blode, instead of locking or clashing as it would with another sword, sliding between to of the tri-blade's...well...blades, & locking against the thick base of the metal cylinder. Swordbreakers are designed, so that a simple, sharp twist of the arm can simply snap even the most expertly crafterd blades in half. Hence their name, & their infamy. Naturally, this does not aply to beastly great claymores & similar weapons, but from your own sword's deccy...)) (NT) Terr OOC 17:12:46 09/16/01 Sun ((Erk...sorry about the typos. Incidently, you got MSN?)) (NT) -- Terr OOC, 17:14:22 09/16/01 Sun OOC: Thanks I'll remeber that for my next battle!-you learn new things from battles! Bic: Having his grip on his sword he is jerked on the ground and hits the floor...he groans in pain. However, being dragged along he lets loose his metal, small sheild and aims for Terranix's legs...hoping he will stop! "OWWWWW!" (NT) -- Damon, 18:07:57 09/16/01 Sun OOC: Aack! Sorry...what I meant was that Damon has a strong grip and clings onto his sword, he is pulled down by Terranix's savage twist...yes this makes Damon seem like a weakling... while being dragged he lets his sheild loose aiming for Terranix's unprotected knee...Ouch, that has got to hurt Terranix... (NT) -- Damon, 18:40:54 09/16/01 Sun ((Eh...swordbreakers SNAP the blades of the swords themselves, a firm grip would only help this, as there would be no ''reed in the wind'' absorving value. Ie, if your grip was very limp, the swpord would probably just be flung from your hand. But with a firm hold, it would simply bend & shatter. Shall I respond as though the blade broke or...?)) (NT) -- Terr OOC, 04:25:30 09/17/01 Mon ((Paw...I meant paw...Oh, & I'm guessing the thrust missed you because you went to ground, yeah?)) (NT) -- Terr OOC, 04:27:09 09/17/01 Mon -I'm confused...(inside)- -- Damon, 12:48:09 09/17/01 Mon ((OK, willing to go with that. But for clarification, Terr is in ''en garde'' position, you charge, he simply extends his arm, & the blade is going straight for you(I fence IRL.). you feinted at my side, as mentioned in my first post, my other arm was held at my side, crooked at slightly crooked right-angles. I meet the feint half-way, twisting my arm savagley, thus snapping your blade. As such, I am doing only two motions. Straightening one arm, & twisting my wrist. Quite possible. IC inside.)) -- Terranix, 14:04:14 09/17/01 Mon ((However, I'm kinda curious as to how the blade being broken would throw you to the ground, as the holt of the sword & the blade itself are melded together, not ever a whole to brgin with. I just can't see how it would happen...)) (NT) -- Terr OOC, 14:08:27 09/17/01 Mon ((Hilt, not holt. Bleh.)) (NT) -- Terr OOC, 14:09:35 09/17/01 Mon OOC: Lets see here...ancient sword...pressure...twist...hmmm...what does that equal? (inside) -- Damon, 16:47:15 09/17/01 Mon ((Mate, I said I kicked the SHIELD at you. Not kicked YOU. See: ''Kicks the shield at the mouse's face''. Or words to that effect. By the way, do you want to move this over to the Sampetra battle board? The war's been declared, & I've really GOT to go there, as it was declared over little ol' me. I might end up losing track of this fight, which'd be a shame...So, post your reply on the Battle Board? Subject ''Contd. from Slayer Holt''. Ta.)) (NT) -- Terr OOC, 17:09:04 09/17/01 Mon ((To make sure you know though, it WOULD snap. Swordbreakers were very effective. Hence their name.)) (NT) -- Terr OOC, 17:10:50 09/17/01 Mon
