Susanoo

Training with a blocking Daniel Smith, using a polearm shaped branch.

**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] he'd walk off, over to the trees and reach down, gathering a somewhat smoothy, dense branch about 3 feet in length. He then turns and offers it over towards the peasant as he backs up a few steps.
**Susanoo takes hold of the branch and takes a few steps backwards, gripping it rightly with both of his hands.
[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] says "Hm."
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He'd draw his iron longsword out and grip in two hands, raising it into a defensive hold as he spreads his stance out slightly, facing the opponent. "Begin when you wish."
Susanoo says "Y-You're going to be only blocking with that sword, yes?"
[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] says "Quite, maybe disarming you once I've the need to."
[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] says "I will not strike you."
**Susanoo spreads his legs out and bends his knees a little bit, he nods before taking a step forward, raising his branch up high in preparation for a strike.
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He'd move the sword around to prepare to block it, keeping enough distance so that the sword and branch can connect as he holds it, facing the broad side of the blade towards the peasant.
**Susanoo took another swift step forward and initiated the first attack, bringing his branch downwards, but moving it along the side at the last moment, in attempt to hit Smith's side instead.
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] As the peasant would roughly swing the branch downward he'd follow his movements, following his step to the side as he circles his arms with the sword held out in front of the branch, intercepting his swing as it comes down and around towards his side. He'd then push it back to try and deflect it, regaining his stance.
**Susanoo steps to the side as his branch is deflected off to the side, but he quickly goes back into his offensive stance, holding the branch as if he were holding a naginata as he began to move around Daniel in a circular pattern.
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He would keep his distance from the peasant, following him as he'd carefully make small steps to keep himself grounded as he holds the sword up defensively in both hands, tightly gripping it.
**Susanoo took another big step forward with his branch pointed out, attempting to quickly jab the tip of the branch into Daniel's calf, where it may be less protected than his upper body.
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He'd swing his sword downwards as he briefly loosens his wrists to swiftly collide the side of the blade with the branch. But the tip still scrapes against his calf. He grunts and lowers his sword, nodding once to the peasant. "You do well. I may be able to hire you when I need soldiers..."

round 2

*Susanoo pulls the branch out of the dirt and steps back again, holding the branch with both hands like previously, going into roughly the same stance again.
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He'd begin to approach him but keep a good distance as to not allow him to extend the stick past him as he begins to circle the opponent while gripping the sword in two hands.
**Susanoo walked opposite of Daniel to prevent being circled, eyeing his opponent intensely as he gripped onto his branch, and changed to a more offensive stance, with the branch sticking outwards more.
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He would angle the sword outward as the opponent poked it forward, making a quick turn with his upper body and attempting to strike the wooden stick so it went off balance before rapidly returning to his defensive stance, trying to turn himself so he'd fully face susanoo.
**Susanoo stepped forward after the wooden stick was struck to the side, but he used the initial momentum from the strike to turn the branch completely, attempting to hit Daniel with the other end of the branch like a staff.
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He'd pull the sword in towards himself, just about catching the staff swing as it pushes against his blade. He would not be able to match the strength of the attack and attempting to rapidly step aside and hook the branch in the handguard of the sword. then push it off if he were successful.
[Human/7'0 feet tall/Lanky build/Bald/...] says "Good day fellows!"
**Susanoo took another step forward whilst trying to keep pushing onto Daniel's sword with his staff to assert more pressure onto Daniel's blade, he tried to keep pushing onto the sword so Daniel wouldn't be able to retain his defensive position, trying to keep it up for the time being.
**The two seem to the fighting, the asian peasant using a large branch like a staff and the noble trying to deflect his blows with his longsword
**[The High Elf before you stands in a l...] Steps up to the group, smiling above them all as he looks between the two peasants. "Do you two perhaps already hold contract? I am indeed hiring."
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He'd hold the struggle for a brief moment before trying to step aside again and suddenly turn his sword, angling it so the way Susanoo was pushing his branch would side off the edge of his blade and leave him to angle the sword back up into a defensive stance.
**Susanoo kept pushing forward along the edge, he took a few steps forward before turning back to Daniel and getting back into stance with his branch staff, starting to circle him once agian.
**[The High Elf before you stands in a l...] Moves up towards the group, stopping near the giant as he begins to rub his chin.
**[5'10| Shaggy brown hair| Appears to b...] He'd grunt slightly and push back with his blade after susanoo finally let up on the pressure with the wooden sparring branch, taking a couple steps back and turning to face the opponent as he circles in the opposite direction.
**Susanoo kept holding the sparring branch by the middle as he took another sudden step forward, starting to relentlessly strike with both ends of the branch, without giving Daniel any break.
**[The High Elf before you stands in a l...] Begins to smile as he watches the situation, "Try and use his strength against him."
**Sir Daniel Smith He'd bring up the blade to quickly intercept the first blow from the staff, blocking it but not being as versed with the sword as the other man was with his branch he'd take the second strike to his arm and stagger to the side slightly, lowering his sword and holding a hand out to signal a halt. He sheathes his weapon and nods once. "Very good."
**Susanoo stopped swinging after the signal was given, he bowed to Sir Daniel once again and stuck his branch into the ground to stop for a break. "Same to you, Sir Daniel."
**[The High Elf before you stands in a l...] Steps up towards the two as they finish fighting, speaking from behind Daniel. "Would either of you care to spar against me?"
Sir Daniel Smith says "I'm done for now. Susanoo. Be ready to be called upon again."

Sparring with some elf guy.

**Susanoo gives his staff a little spin before putting the end against the ground, he holds it by the center, just like the usual staff, though he doesn't get into his stance yet, he just watches Vantar.
**Vantar Rovaris Smiles, slowly stepping forward as he leans forward, tapping the sword once more. "Are you going to hit me.. or?"
Susanoo says "Mmm, okay."
**Susanoo picks his staff off the ground and takes a step forward, spreading his legs, bending his knees and crouching over a tiny bit. He holds the staff infront of him, tilted to the side, in a defensive position.
**Vantar Rovaris Deftly slips forward as he extends the sword, raising his sword as he extends his foot to kick at the man's knee.
**Susanoo has his bent knee kicked backwards a bit, his sandals getting dragged backwards along the dirt, but he remained in the same position as before, now with a leg pushed backwards. He used the opportunity to spin his staff around and jab the High Elf in the chest with one end whilst the elf was open with his sword raised up.
**Vantar Rovaris Jumps backwards as the staff is protruded forward, slightly slamming into his chest as his boot digs into the dirt. He lowesr the wooden training sword downward towards the man's stomach, beginning to pace around his left.
**Susanoo steps backwards and doesn another quick spin around before returning into the previous position, he moves his leg forward again and begins to pace around his right instead.
**Vantar Rovaris Continues to step around the man's left, slightly twirling the sword before deftly fainting a stab forwards.
**Susanoo barely adjusts his staff to catch the fient, but he remains in relatively the same stance as before. He then took a swift step forward and extended his staff out, attempting to jab the High Elf's calf, using it sort of like a spear.
**Vantar Rovaris Lowers the sword swiftly as he hits into the side of the staff, turning his body as it slides past him, using the sword to attempt and twirl the weapon.
**Susanoo took another step forward, the twirl helping him with bringing the other end of the staff forward in attempt to hit the High Elf's arm, and pulling back the one that he just attacked with.
**Vantar Rovaris Charges forward at the man as the staff is pulled backwards, jumping upward and placing his knee towards the man's stomach as the staff slightly hits into his buttocks, "You cheeky boy!"
**Susanoo took a hand off his staff and moves it infront of his stomach as he hopped backwards in attempt to avoid the knee, instead the impact was caught by his open palm, but it still caused him to be pushed backwards by the force of the knee.
**Vantar Rovaris Hits into the man's palm as he then lands back infront of him, stepping backwards before slowly lowering the sword. "A worthy opponent!"
