Subject: -I'm confused...(inside)- Author: Damon [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:48:09 09/17/01 Mon Author Host/IP: NoHost/66.41.194.206 In reply to: Terr OOC 's message, "((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...?))" on 04:25:30 09/17/01 Mon Okay then...lets just go with this... Damon grips onto his sword for his dear life, Terranix's sword breaker made Damon hit the ground and therefore dodging the katan thrust by a hair...While being flung to the ground he lets loose his metal sheild at Terranix's unprotected knee (Terranix can't block that...he's in thrust formation and at the same time doing his savage turn...hey?!? How's that possible? Oh well...) After he hits Terranix's knee -sorry for the auto hit, no way Terranix could block- his sword snaps in two...leaving Damon with a short sword and a peice of blade from his original sword. Damon flies away from Terranix and hits the ground several feet away Terranix...he closes his eyes and looks as though he is ready to roll out of the way....

Subject Author Date ((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
