I was furious at first, assuming you stopped giving a rats ass about our battle, [@MelonHead], cause even the end of the post didn't have a period or proper grammar. I figure now it must've been an issue with the page loading, because I don't remember seeing a second paragraph at all during my first read-through. That's my bad, that fixes half of my issue with the spear.

There's no mention of greaves in Sigurd's profile, but I assume that's an addition to his 'leggings'? In both situations, if he had pressured his foot closer, Iolanthe's spear would be cutting lower, the blade would be roughly at his ankle, where she had already marked him bloody, (proof through trial and error that where she's attacking, there wouldn't be armour).

The longsword glanced off [i]heavy armour[/i], this is a bit vague. Is this a mention to the plateskirt being struck first, or the shield's edge? After which, I still need clarification on a few things; The issue of Sigurd's wrist strength, which I think would be overpowered by the force and weight of Iolanthe's shield strike - as well, there was still no mention of Iolanthe's Gladius, while Sigurd's hand continued to adjust from one side of the hoplon to the other. If the gladius didn't make it in time, the shield wouldn't have blocked an attack, meaning it either swung too early, or it did indeed land. If the gladius arrived too early, Sigurd's sword might also clash with that blade, before being drawn out from under the shield.

~ The above is my half of the OOC's bitching, [@Drifting Pollen]. 

On another note. I was too busy to say anything last night, and this morning I was also busy, and too annoyed to say: No I don't hate you, Melon, but I'll be frank... your nit-picking can get annoying. It's the reason I'm making sure to give you a hard time right now. I could've easily taken tweezers to some of your previous posts, but I didn't feel that desperate before. It's only annoying when someone is trying to dismiss attacks that are pretty simple. (Example; when Iolanthe was merely lowering her arm.) Which seems like an attempt to distract, or win petty points.
