Talika stood, trying not to sigh to audibly. At least this simulation looked old enough to have probably hit puberty, which meant Talika was rising in her Master's estimation. She was barely twenty standard years, but Master Adaavi had a way of making Talika feel ancient. It wasn't her fault, all Talika knew was the Jedi had been betrayed and destroyed, that's all her mother's message had told her.<br/><br/>Igniting her own blue lightsaber, Talika shifted into the basic two-handed stance she'd been taught. She had been practicing the techniques Master Adaavi had shown her, the ones to use the young twi'leks grace and agility to their fullest, and while she had a long way to go to master them, Talika was confident in her ability to use them in a sparring match.<br/><br/>She readied herself, preparing to engage once the signal to start was given. Talika would take the defensive at first, focus her will, open herself to let the Force fill her body, and then attack aggressively, in order to best take advantage of her natural speed.<br/><br/>((OOC:<strong>Initiative:</strong>1d20+3=7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2993312/); first round she's fighting defensively (not Total Defense), using<strong>Enhance Ability</strong>(1d20+6=17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2993328/) gives +2; costs 3 vitality) to bolster her DEX (standard action), and<strong>Battlemind</strong>(1d20+6=19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2993331/) gives +3 to hit; costs 5 vitality), which is just a move action.<br/><br/>((Then she'll attack the following round (Stats for the next 10 rounds: DEX 18, +12 to hit with her lightsaber and DEF 18. Her new vitality total after using those powers is: 29)! Feel free to whip through as much of the fight as you want here, but I'm more than happy to try to get some descriptive posting in too, if you want me to. :-) ))
