Iknika's ears dip slightly. Why would she think they'd try to kill each other?

Isaac picks up his mallet, looking at it.

"I've never seen a practice fight before, that's all." Baccata clarifies. "I can help if one of you gets really badly hurt. If you wake up somewhere you don't recognise, look for a yew tree- any yew tree- and call my name, and I'll come get you." Though it won't work if they've been kidnapped and taken elsewhere in the Nexus, it should work for most afterlives and limbo dimensions. Baccata's a psychopomp, one that can take souls both ways.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: GLoG 91
[Island Center]
Ah, a skillful thing! A breathless instant passes as the Carrion King watches the result of his throw, then he's coming forward, the simultaneously fascinating and disconcerting gait of his hobble-hop-crawl only serving to distract from the menacing speed of his advance. His feet and hands pound the earth, his legs extended and contorted behind, his hands whipping out before. The King holds his rusty carver in his teeth as he does so, rippling across the gap between them...
Ah, what an incredibly distracting aroma that fills the air then! The flush of Winter's power brings a gape to the King's jaw... and the heavy, warty brown blade tumbles free to land in his open claw. A thin layer of frost covers him even as he reaches striking distance. Indeed, it proves no hindrance, and perhaps only serves to incentivize his viciousness further. Glittering with ice, feathers flying and fluttering, the King hews forward, cleaving left and right in a pair of great wild swings. Odd, hefty pops surround the Empress, regardless of whether she's struck. With those blows alone he's suddenly cleared an even greater killing ground for the pair of them, trees trunks split like firewood, left to fall in the dirt.
The King certainly doesn't expect such early blows to fell his quarry. More, he hopes to drive her back... and he throws out his free hand to retrieve his bident from the last ruined tree-trunk, trying to wrench it free even as that old proud wood also topples to the ground. Thusly rearmed, he can orchestrate a fuller offense...My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

[Out on the Lake]
Paddle, paddle, paddle your boat out over the water. Waters that are getting choppier, with waves seemingly radiating out from the island, of all things. But this isn't a stormy ocean and I'm confident that in just a minute Anchor will pull up on the island and hop out onto the shore.
In crossing, she looks up intently when the sound of clashing blades and breaking arrows ring out, and winces sharply when she sees a whole ring of treetops tumble over and fall. Just what's going on over there?

I don't have any idea how old Iknika or Isaac are, though I have managed to use Google to assist and therefore have some inkling towards 'teenagers'.

Re: GLoG 91

Baccata's player need not worry, because here Iknika comes. She's clad in a half-plate armour - a breastplate and plate elements over her shoulders, knees and elbows, with a suit of mail underneath. On her head is a helmet that partially covers her face, but her eyes gleam visibly. She's got a round steel shield strapped to her left arm, while the right holds a practice foam weapon resembling an axe or bludgeon.

"That's an interesting bit of magic. More complex than what I can do, too." Baccata watches the spell casting with interest, before looking up to study Iknika's armour. She can't imagine wearing that much metal, though she's aware there's probably some padding underneath made of softer, plant-based material.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Tuskfang gasps again, and his eyes go as big as saucers. He turns around towards his mother.
"Moooooom!"
"What is it?" Reelshka asks, prying her attention away from her sketches.
"Salix says she doesn't have a bedtime and sleeps an' eats when she wants!"
"Does she, now?" The goblin peers at the dryad carefully. What has she been telling her son?My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

"Do you mind if I watch?" Baccata really wants to watch, because she enjoys watching violence. She's a little psychopathic, but then, she's mostly a loner and she's got an inherent link to death due to what she is and what yew trees traditionally represent.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

Isaac nods and gets into his own pose, though it might be obvious that his minimal training was in unarmed combat and he doesn't really know what to do with his hammer. He waits for Iknika to make the first move.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Isaac isn't entirely surprised at her wild opening move, and he jumps aside from the swing, countering with a weak kick mostly designed to remind her to not be quite so obvious without leaving her exposed. He shudders for a moment as if troubled.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Re: GLoG 91

Isaac makes a show of casting a spell, and produces the force of your average punch to slam into Iknika's shield. It's not a particularly effective spell but he's holding back to see how she reacts.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Iknika reacts to the spell-casting by thrusting her shield forwards and upwards in anticipation. When Isaac only punches the shield, she's surprised for a moment, before advancing. She tries to push his arm aside with the shield, and aim an overhead swing at his centre of weight.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Re: GLoG 91

Iknika's maneuver works, but the satisfying thwack of the training axe is not against Isaac's chest, but the belly of a 270cm albino loxodon that springs up in his place. With a rattle his mallet extends into a long polearm with a more mace-like head, as Isaaac had described. His clothes look a bit goofy enlarged to the increased size, though for some reason his shoes have changed into sandles.
Isaac gives Iknika a very gentle force push to put distance between them.
"Point." he grumbles, ever embarrassed at new people seeing his enlarged form.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.
