Kateryna Petrovich

Fair enough! Fixed!

This was a spar between Sir Daniel Smith and Kateryna

**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] After handing the sword towards her he would reach for his own, truesteel longsword and pull it from his side. Grasping it in two hands and raising the blade into a defensive position as he widens his stance.
**[The High Elf before you stands in a l...] Steps up towards the two, staring towards Smith as he pulls the sword. "Best of wishes."
[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] says "Right then."
**Kateryna Petrovich takes it with a nod, quietly looking it over. Backing up, giving a few experimental swings. Her eyes fixing on the blades tip and edge.
[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] says "Try to hit me with the broad side of the blade...Go on."
**Kateryna Petrovich Nods, slowly taking a spread legged stance, left foot forward, right back as she grips the sword in two hands, he muscles tensing as she makes a swing, attempting to literally slap him with the broad side of the swords blade, Expecting him to block it.
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He'd easily swish the blade to the side, the hard truesteel blade deflecting her swing and his arms immediately retracting so he returns to the defensive hold he was originally using.
**Kateryna Petrovich Slowly, backs off, taking another attack stance. Taking a step forward as she swings low this time, attempting to smack him in the thigh, ensuring he was moving to block the blade before she quickly brought it up and attempted to smack him in the hand.
**Sir Daniel Smith He'd swing his arms around and downwards, swinging the blade in a half circle from above to below. He just about clashes the sword into her blade, knocking it aside of throw her swing off from slapping his hand as he'd raise the sword back, quickly bringing it back around and holding it close.
**Kateryna Petrovich huffs quietly as she takes her stance again, attempting to thrust her sword forward in an attempt to impale him, not really, her thrust was fast but she wasnt intending on letting hit stab into him, instead she waits till he knocks the sword aside then proceeds to go right for his gonads
**Sir Daniel Smith He'd instinctively swing his sword downward, angling it out to easily deflect her jab as she thrusts the sword towards him. Her kick lands him in his nuts and he grunts, lowering his sword and jabbing it into the ground to hold onto for support briefly.
**Kateryna Petrovich Grins as she quickly brings her sword down in an attempt to smack him in the back of the noggin with the broad side of the sword. Making sure if she did hit, she would kick the sword out from his hand.
**Sir Daniel Smith He'd see her bringing her arms up with the sword, throwing himself out of the way of the strike and pulling the tip of his blade from the ground and getting up on a knee. He brings the sword back up to a defensive stance as he just about dodges the downward whack, glaring at the beastkin.
**Sir Daniel Smith He'd get back up to his feet and raise the sword up with him. Watching her circle around. He'd then suddenly swish the sword back, barely even telegraphing his incoming swing before he swiftly slashes at kat's sword, swinging in the opposite direction she was walking in to add some more momentum to it. Attempting to angle his sword in and strike the lower part of her blade so he can hook it and knock it from her hand aggressively.
**Kateryna Petrovich Grunts as she watched him get up, expecting him to attack, she was still holding her sword in both hands, getting it hit and almost hooked as she quickly dropped the sword in the oppisate direction, her sword turning more so upside down as she still holds it, the blade still hooked as she suddenly. And rather abruptly rushes forward in an attempt to knock her shoulder into him, the only advantage she had at this point was her added athletics which gave her a wee bit more agility.
**Sir Daniel Smith He'd hold his ground, his stance being firm so he was able to hold himself as she charges in, smacking into his shoulder with her own. He keeps the blade pushing against hers, quickly pushing his arms straight towards the left with tilting his sword in to the right to swiftly slap the hard metal blade's broadside against the side of her head.
**Kateryna Petrovich Lets out a rather animalistic Yipping sound of surprise. Quickly covering her mouth and backing off as she got the sword to the side of the head, grumbling as she nods and holds out the sword, holding her head now as she huffs. Acknowledging her loss she grumbles and holds her head.
**Sir Daniel Smith He'd take his sword back after slapping her with it, unhooking it from her blade and bringing it back down to sheath it at his side. He'd take the handle of the sword she was using as it was offered back to himself, nodding once and heading back inside to store it. "Watch the estate. Call the guards over on any trouble. I'm heading to the mine."

Learning how to mine. And prospect.

Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "In order to locate most types of ore, you have to know your rock formations and what the stuff actually looks like. Check underground streams 'n' things like that to see if you can find anything in it. If there is, head upstream until you can locate a potential deposit spot."
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "Now, for coal, it's relatively simple. The real stuff looks just like it does in these here caves-- some black rock. Pretty common stuff, and they grow around swamps and things too. For iron, you're going to want to look for this stuff called sedimentary rock."
**Kateryna Petrovich quietly listens.
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "Sedimentary rock is like.. This uh.. Layered-looking stuff. Each layer will have a different color to it. Pretty simple. If you can find a large chunk of it somewhere, there's likely an iron deposit somewhere around it. Sometimes there isn't. It's gotta do with luck most of the time."
quire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "Chip away at the sedimentary rock until you find iron and then pick out the iron from the rock without smashing it into tiny pieces."
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "All there is to it."
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "On your pickaxe y'got a pointy end, that's the mining bit. Other end is for pulling out the ore itself."
Kateryna Petrovich says "Well then.."
