Alright, so... [@Drifting Pollen], I'm definitely going to need your help and verdict here.

I'd like to see the effects of Iolanthe's attacks written in Melon's post, but rather he's completely ignored them all. Not even a depict of them having missed, nor mention whatsoever... this frustrates me.

Firstly, given the new aim of his sword, which slides it further under the shield than the initial typo would have, I believe the threat of Iolanthe's gladius will no longer be minor. He did not slow or mention halt in his hand's movements, even though his character would've seen the gladius. Also it is stated that his longsword wouldn't budge as much, however I think this is wrong - the weight and force from such an attack at the off-angle of his sweep should indeed overpower his wrist with ease.

Secondly, the series of stabs aimed at Sigurd's legs were also [i]completely[/i] ignored. I'm 100% sure one or two of these stabs will land before Sigurd can finish swinging that shield of his. I think this because Melon shouldn't be allowed to just ignore my attacks, his character isn't dodging them what-so-ever, they are not super slow... and above all else, he's leaning towards the trajectory of each swing.

I need to go to work, I'll check back in during my break, but I'll only be able to respond after midnight.
