You weren't far behind though." Then they prepared for the melee aspect of elven martial training, taking two short swords while Vanessë took also two blades. Delnir then guided them to smooth sand ring where Erin entered and once Vanessë did also Delnir told the rules; "Okay, the one who scores twenty points wins first. One point from limbs, two points from stomach and chest. Hits to head not allowed to do purpose but if hit does occur and no serious injury was inflicted, it counts as five points. Now prepare, take stances.......and go!"<br/><br/>Erin was ready in balanced combat stance while holding two shorter blades, similar blades in Vanessë hand gives them both same advantage, as signal is announced he rushes ahead. He hopes overcome her by sheer speed alone as he rushes towards Vanessë, intending to get quick scores on her before she can start scoring against him.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Initiative roll time, Erin rolled 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131375) and the training vest counts as leather armor, so you have AC 12 + dex mod (Erin AC is 15). Now score is based on how well you hit. Surpassing AC gives 1pt, surpassing it by +5 or more is 2pts. On nat 20 you get 5pts from accidental 'head hit'. No dmg is taken either side. I roll in advance my first five rounds of attacks, in each round Erin does one attack and uses bonus action to do additional attack against Vanessë (so 2 attacks per round).<br/><br/>18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131385), 11 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131384) = 1pts<br/>15 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131383), 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131382) = 1pts<br/>14 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131381), 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131380) = 1pts<br/>21 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131379), 22 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131378) = 4pts<br/>9 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131377), 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=131376) = 0pts<br/><br/>Total: 7/20 after 10 attacks in 5 rounds<br/></div></div>
