_Almann raises his shield to catch the axe blow, free casting Brawn of the Old Gods and Veteran's Blow once more. 

He attempts to give an overhead stab towards the face of the centaur. Perhaps he could slip through his guard and get a wound off on the human torso part of him. Either way, this was good experience against a type of opponent he wasn't used to fighting. Indeed, he had faced centaurs before, but not in a 1 on 1 engagement. They seem to be far tougher when its just one of them versus a macen._

_Almann continued to relish in the combat. He looked forward to using the knowledge of this beast and many others in the future. Every experience was worth something._

*The centaur raised his shield again, sending the macens blow in glancing off the rim of the sheild. Justinian raised his axe again, and swung it down at the left side of the macens head, it was a feint, and right before the axe hit, he raised his leg and kicked the puny human*

_Almann goes to deflect the axe blow with his shield again, and notices the leg barreling towards his chest. He takes the blow, to the chest, opting to stab the leg as it crushes against his rib cage. Veteran's Blow is recast._

_Almann takes out a health potion and chugs it quickly. He could feel his bruised and cracked ribs heal and move back into place as he positions himself to engage the centaur once more. This was his first time bothering to use one. They were well made. Almann definitely needs to get more of these for future fights. He was lucky the kick didn't break any of his ribs and puncture organs._

_Almann moves forward to engage the centaur once more, careful to stay out of range of his front hooves._

_Before he goes for another strike he talks to the centaur._

"What is your name centaur?"

"Justinian" *Said Justinian, making sure not get distracted* "You are trespassing on traditional centaur lands, and it is my duty to remove you"
*He seems to relax, but about 1 second after that, he goes for a charge, using his lance one again*
Travis
_Almann rolls to the right to dodge the lance charge. His reduction in speed was definitely more noticeable now._

"You seem to be having trouble doing that Justinian. Why is that?"

"Because you stabbed me you onion sucking sheep skin" *Justinian turned around and stopped, firing off an arrow* "And you are still trespassing"
Travis
_Almann laughs as he blocks the arrow with his shield._

"And all this land belongs to the empire. Your land is in a macen empire. You were conquered by a bunch of onion sucking sheep skins, centaur."

_The goal was to coax him into making a mistake. Centaurs often were quick to anger and prideful. If you hurt their pride by telling them they were conquered by those they have contempt of._
