NewSun V ShidenBlades

Ryuku remained focused, accepting the pain and working through it and while the wounds to his hand and leg were painful, they were not fatal. He continued to apply pressure to the wrist, he was surprised at his opponents strength and resiliency. It took roughly five pounds of pressure to break that part of the body, and his opponent and just barely managed to turn and twist enough to avoid that fate.

As he was still holding his opponents hand, when Arc began to turn it was easy for the Monk to follow with him. Ryuku needed to only shift his footing and turn with his opponent; all while maintaining pressure on the wrist for a few moments longer.

He was now turned so that he was facing Arc, so when his opponent tried to smash his head forward he was find Ryuku’s bloddied hand rushing up to try and palm strike him in the jaw. At the same time Ryuku would finally release the pressure by pushing off the hand so that it couldn’t come to defend right away, he hoped the pain and ache would mean a slow response time.

The two were close, very close, and Ryuku planned to keep it that way. He could be devastating with elbows and knees, close strikes. At this range, where such a huge weapon would be hard-pressed to do anything Ryuku felt he had the distinct advantage and he would try to keep that advantage, if Arc wanted to move away he would find Ryuku just as quick to follow, using his experience and skill at close range combat to expand when his opponent contracted and contract when his opponent expanded, it was fighting 101.

In the Darkness of the Night

D’Angelo could have interrupted whatever it was that his opponent was doing, but instead he stood and calmly watched, giving the couple of seconds needed to use his spell. He heard the rummaging behind him and a cursory glance showed him something moving back there, he didn’t know yet that it was his earlier victim.

When he looked back Daxius had just started speaking and D’Angelo could see the creature’s hands moving in a familiar pattern. More daggers, he thought. He smiled briefly and swept his left arm down, a dagger now gripped in that hand, in one swift motion so that both enemy thrown daggers were swept aside by the steel bracer he wore on his arm. That attack was becoming very predictable.

He knew the daggers weren’t the true danger, what followed up behind that attack was what required his attention. Still, slashing claws against steel was in favor of D’Angelo as far as he concerned, he could be both offensive and defensive at the same time. As Dax attacked the injured leg D’Angelo brought the dagger down to counter, blade first to skewer the cat-demons hand, or at the very least force him to retract his attack or risk losing a digit.

His right hand came rushing forward, an underhanded throw, dagger aimed low at his opponents right foot to try and pin him to the ground, even if it was only for a moment.
