I13DT: How To Train Your Dragon

by **John Hino** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 7:20 pm

"I still use it anyway. Can't learn if I don't."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 8:19 pm

"You need a better opponent than a computer."

by **John Hino** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 8:41 pm

"Are you volunteering?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 8:45 pm

"If only so you don't hurt someone with those novice swings."

by **John Hino** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 8:52 pm

"I was never taught any martial skills growing up. I'd welcome better training."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 8:56 pm

"You didn't need to tell me that. It was obvious, from your stance on up."

by **John Hino** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 9:04 pm

"I'll going to feel insulated before this is over aren't I?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 9:13 pm

"Yes. But you'll be much better, trust me."

by **John Hino** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 10:22 am

"I'd endure far worse," he nodded.

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 2:29 pm

"Good. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that egos don't last in the heat of battle."

by **John Hino** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 2:40 pm

"So... when do we start?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 3:22 pm

"We can start now, if it suits you."

by **John Hino** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 3:32 pm

"It does," he nodded.

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 3:50 pm

"Then come at me," he said, putting down his bag.

by **John Hino** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:04 pm

"But you're unarmed."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 8:17 pm

"I have my wits about me."

by **John Hino** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 8:19 pm

"Just how immortal are you?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 8:27 pm

"I don't think that's going to enter in it, but 'immortal enough for you, sonny' is a good answer."

by **John Hino** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 8:32 pm

"Have it your way," he said. He came in swinging, but obviously holding back.

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 8:53 pm

As John approached, Roland kicked his bag up into John's face, sending term papers flying, obstructing his view.

by **John Hino** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 9:00 pm

John grunted and his swing went wide. To his credit, he didn't whine about fairness.

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 9:26 pm

Roland used the momentary blindness and distraction of the papers to duck under the blow and grab John's wrist, turning it into a judo throw to bring the larger lizardman down.

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 9:23 am

A very confused three hundred pound lizardman wielding an ancient and formerly demonic war club hit the ground hard.

"Ow..."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 12:09 pm

"Lesson one: never underestimate your opponent."

"Lesson two: there's no such thing as a fair fight."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:22 pm

"I know they won't fight fair," he protested.

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:41 pm

"Your swings are slow, too--do you know the size of the demons in question?"

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:42 pm

He grumbled.

"...no..."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:44 pm

"Your swings will work fine against someone large, but a smaller, more mobile target? You're going to have to be a bit more compact."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:53 pm

"Compact?" he asked as he got up.

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:58 pm

"You swung wide. That gave me an eternity to get out of the way--with a heavy weapon like that, once you're moving, you're locked into your movement. You need smaller swings."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:03 pm

"How exactly do you swing small with something this big? Though it's not exactly heavy from my perspective."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:14 pm

"I'd show you, but it's too large for me. I'll have to go get some things."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:22 pm

"It has a bloodline seal on it anyway."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:27 pm

"Don't club seals, John."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:30 pm

"I don't know... that's a lot to ask," he deadpanned.

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:33 pm

"You'll get hell for it," Roland said, headed back towards his own armory.

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 7:34 pm

John kept doing practice swings as he waited.

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 8:57 pm

Roland came back with a huge sack of things. "Let's see--figure anything out yet?"

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 8:59 pm

"Found a better stance I think."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 9:00 pm

"Excellent," Roland said, removing his suit jacket and tie. "It's all about delivering as much force as you can as quickly as you can."
