Gatsha managed to successfully defended herself with her shield. Not an all too difficult task given her shields generous width. Her opponent in turn had blocked her spear thrust not a surprising outcome all things considered. Spear fights tended to be rather drawn out affairs simply due to the ease of predicting and blocking spear thrusts. Her opponent immediately draw back his spear, between the two metal prongs of her shield, at such and angle as to drew it along her left thigh. Given the heat of the moment, the adrenaline coursing through her and the shallowness of the cut, Gatsha didn't immediately feel the move. 

She did notice that her opponent had drawn his spear back right next to her shield, causing the blade of the spear it to catch for a moment between her bladed prong and the lip of her shield. It would be a simple task to free it, but that would take a moment, a moment Gatsha immediately used to her advantage, as he spear glanced off the right side of her opponents shield, she knocked the end of the spearbutt with her elbow to redirect the thrust downward so that the spears bladed edge rolled down the side of her opponent's shield down toward his outstretched arm. Seeking to take advantage of the man’s awkward moment.
