Camp Gym, Monday Evening

[demonbelthazor]

Feeling restless, Bel headed for the gym to work off some excess energy. He warmed up by abusing the punching bag, then picked up one of the wooden practice swords and began to practice some moves. Of course, it would be more fun to practice against a real opponent.

Bel raised his sword to parry and spun, arcing his sword toward the left side of Peter's torso. Pity that left his own left side wide open.

Moving to his right to avoid Bel's strike, Peter took advantage of the opening left by Bel's spin and arced his own sword towards the left of Bel's torso.

Bel grunted as the sword landed a solid hit. "Point to you," he said, saluting Peter.

Peter nodded and saluted back. He stepped back, bouncing on the balls of his feet, waiting for Bel's next move.

Bel feinted to the left, then aggressively thrust at Peter's right.

Peter parried most of Bel's thrust though part of it still landed on his right shoulder. Shaking off the blow, he stepped into Bel's arm, trying to keep his sword out of play. Pivoting, he struck at Bel's left shoulder strongly.

Bel caught the motion of the sword and dropped low, letting it pass over his head. At this point he might've cheated and shimmered behind Peter, but he fought off that urge and instead jabbed upward towards Peter's stomach.

Peter threw himself backwards to avoid Bel's thrust omg not dirty. He danced a bit to the right and then feinting high towards Bel's shoulder, he reversed his blow to a thrust at his thigh.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel slid to his right to avoid the thrust to his thigh and you call that not dirty?. He spun right, bringing his sword down toward Peter's back.

Peter turns enough to take the strike on his side instead of his back, but it's a palpable hit. He disengages and salutes with a grin. "And a well-struck point to you, Bel."

[demonbelthazor]

"You're good," Bel remarked, taking a step back and adjusting his stance.

"As are you," Peter replied. He took a step or two before sending his blade flying towards Bel's side.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel ducked to the side and moved behind Peter as he lunged forward. He brought his sword up and swung down at Peter's back.

Peter spun to parry Bel's sword with his blade. With a shift in stance, he aimed his sword in a slash at Bel's knees.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel darted backwards, but the sword clipped his left leg. While Peter's sword was down, however, he swung up, aiming a blow at Peter's lowered shoulder.

Already at a lower stance, Peter ducked under Bel's sword. Straightening up, he feinted another low blow, then swung his sword in an arc towards Bel's left shoulder.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel brought his sword up and blocked the blow. While Peter's arm was still high, he swung his sword at his opponent's right side.

Peter danced back out of the sword's range. He paused for a second, then moved back in to close again. He aimed a thrust into Bel's chest.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel jumped back, then quickly darted forward again, trying not to give Peter a chance to recover. He took a swing at Peter's left side.

Peter parried Bel's swing with his sword, then, twisting his sword, took his own strike at the right side of Bel's torso.
