The Bloody Halo

[MelissaB]

"Want to back that up? You fought a slave not seen fighting in a while and think you're good? Ha!" She shakes her head and glances at Muutus. "If she takes the medallion I'll beat her within an inch and take it back. Besides, give it the whore and you lose your hold over the slave. You needed it just to get her to fight the imperial horse lover." Motions to Katherine with her thumb as she explains giving your control mechanism away isn't the best of ideas. That and she really didn't like anything of her people's being around an imperial whore's neck.

[exalted]

"I kill you," Æsa hissed in the Imperial tongue as she felt the Imperial healers sordid magics work through her pain.

As soon as she was able to move again, she clutched at the mud covered axe and forced herself to her feet.

"I kill you Imperial," She said again, swaying slightly as she pushed away the healer, "I KILL YOU!"

Screaming she charged at the woman, back turned as she gloated in victory, unprotected, Æsa failing the axe wildly.

[Reaver]

"I'd love to back it up anytime, you old hag! You couldn't beat me if I was blindfolded, you northern whore!" Retorted Katherine before looking back at Mutuus. "Giving me the medallion will motivate the girl to fight harder to gain enough power to earn it back. She'll work harder and if she doesn't then what reason is there to train a warrior that only works for a medallion. Revenge is a much, much better motivator." She smiled the enitre time, already anticipating the type of battle she could have with this woman. It would certainly feel good to crush her underneath her shield and sword. She thought she heard yelling from the arena but she assumed it was just the slave girl crying after being put in her place.

Sonya glares a bit at the others, wondering what their attitude, especially towards her, was about. She shrugs her shoulders and once the healer was done with her she goes to the side of the fence she left her sword and picks it up. Looking at the others argue and fight she highly doubt any of them would get along with each other. "Seems like no one is making friends here..." She mumbled to herself.

[MelissaB]

Ginna Hisses. "Imperial bitch. I don't expect you to understand too much time fawning over what dress to wear while you are paid to lie on your back." She Pushes herself off the fence to stand to her full height next to the imperial woman, her savage stare glaring down at her as her fists clench before she spots Aesa and grins at Katherine. "As I said, you wouldn't understand, whores don't understand warrior ways." She glances at Muutus as if willing to let Aesa attack from behind. "It is your choice she did lose, I'm stating it's flaw."

(Was trying to wait till everyone posted, but seems my hand is forced this time.)

Muutus grabs a spear from the weapon rack, and throws it, causing it to impale into the ground in front of the charging Aesa. She would either run into it or stop her charge. He then grabs a second spear from the training rack before hopping into the ring himself. The kind attitude he was holding now has dropped, replaced with controlled anger.

"Halt there! You dare spit upon my hospitality! I saved you from a fate worse then death, and you dare dishonor yourself and me with your actions! You lost! It was a fair fight! Now you try to strike your opponent in that back? I should have you stripped and whipped for your actions!"

Muutus points his spear at Aesa, while glancing over his shoulder at Ginna.

"You have pride in your heritage, and I respect that. However, that does not give you the right to insult a companion who won a fair fight! What will you do when you have to fight your own people in the arena? Fall on your knees?"

Muutus turns his full attention to Aesa, almost daring her to attack him.

[MelissaB]

Laughing Ginna shakes her head. "I'd fight them obviously. We fought each other before it is no different. At least I may respect my kinsman, she won a fight against a slave that hasn't seen practice or combat since her enslavement. It is hardly worth boosting about. She also fought like a coward, what crowd is going to want to see a fight where one fighter hides behind a shield all the time?' She laughs and looks to Aesa. "Put the weapon down kinsman. You may have a chance to kill her another time."

[exalted]

"Fair for losers, I rather win" Æsa smirked.

She lashed out with the training axe, trying to knock the spear from Muutus's hand while he glanced away.

[Reaver]

Katherine gave a whistle of delight at seeing Muuts spring into action with two spears to head off an attack by Aesa. She hadn't seen it coming but now she knew she couldn't put anything past a dirty Nordaughan. "Glad to know your kinda approaches skillful warriors with tongue-lashings and backstabbings. Then again I guess honor is above beasts like you." She said casually, speaking to GInna as she watched the events below unfold. Muutus moved faster and more sure than she had expected him to with such an injury and she appreciated him coming to her defense. "Maybe I'll melt her amulet down and turn it into imperial gold..." She said only loud enough for Ginna to hear as she finally looked the woman in the eyes. They both had a stare of intensity that was unflinching and full of resolve. "Don't lie to yourself, she operates as someone who has seen battle. She's wild and untame and I will beat discipline into her. Then first lesson is humility in defeat, something she hasn't learned yet. But I'll teach it to her well, very well."

[KnightVanilla]

As she was viewing the others she saw the girl charging before anyone else. Waiting to see what would happen as events unfolded. "Seems like you have some arrogant students amongst your school... hehehe" Maiza Chuckles a bit as these foolish warriors were being quite stupid. "You really should put some of them in their place although thats your job. I'm here to learn and I think I may enjoy my stay here."

[Soru]

Sonya watches from the side, not even caring she was nude at the moment. "And it seems things get worse and worse. If this is just the first day then I fear that we'll be at each others throats by the end of the week if we're still alive at that point." She comments out loud as she leans against the fence watching with her sword in hand just incase things got out of hand or she has to defend herself.

[Phoenixcz]

Layla stares in disbelief at the scene before her. Are they insane? "Seriously...if this is how the training will be, I'll be the only one getting into real arena, everyone else will kill each other long before that...though the idea is pretty funny, in a way." Her words propably aren't loud enough for the arguing Imperials and Nordaugh to pay attention to, but other onlookers can hear her.

[MelissaB]

"I say you want me to strip you naked and pin you beneath me, what your people not scratch your itch anymore?" She teases stepping right up against Katherine should she hold her ground and not back away. Ready and intent on pressing her body into hers before talking in her ear sultrily. "Maybe you just want a real warrior to take you and use you like the whore you truly are. A wanton slut begging to be made to scream their name to the gods."

[VintageBass]

Meg takes a look at what is going on around her and is trying to figure out what the hell is going on. She is already pissed off with how badly she got beaten in the ring with Sonya and she doesn't exactly like being around these many girls. She would like to do something about the matter, but she wants to repress her urges to be a total bitch to everyone and instead focus on the man running this camp.

So Meg heads on over to a bench and decides to lick her wounds, listening out for any new commands from the big man and follow on through. She did pick up something about stripping naked and pinning, which got her anger to spike, but calms down in remembering that's how she got beaten up in the first place... She really needs to get some personal training away from these girls and focus on sharpening her claws and pinning skills... and maybe if she has some males, work on her seduction as well.

[Reaver]

Katherine's eyebrows raised as Ginna's tone took on a vaguely sexual tone. She understood that some warriors got revved up and turned on by combat and such but the implications being tossed around were a bit bizarre for her tastes. She was actually taken back for a few seconds as she chewed what she had said to her. Not willing to back down, she took a step forward, mashing their breasts against each other and looking into the warrior's eyes. "I don't know how they do it down in Norduagh but you aren't a warrior to me!" She whispered back. "I don't exactly go for woman... but I think I'd make an exception just for you. Just to put you under my heel, you crazy northern slut. I'll put you in the dirt just like I did your kinsmen, and I'll enjoy every second of it.." Licking her own lips at the thought of disciplining another bitch.

(God, wish I was wearing armor right now.)

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Initiative: Muutus 13+1=14, Aesa 16+3=19. Aesa goes first.
Aesa attacks: Nat 1. Roll to recover: 19+3=22. Aesa drops her weapon 5 feet, right under Muutus.
Muutus attack: 17+3+1=21. Aesa dodges: 3+3=6. Damage: 1d6+3=4.

Aesa charges at Muutus, but catches her foot on the spear in the ground. This causes her to drop her weapon to keep her balance, but the axe slides towards Muutus, who steps on it. He then stabs at Aesa with the blunt end of his spear, hitting her in the forehead.

HP: Muutus 16/16, Aesa 12/16.

Muutus braces for combat as Aesa rushes forward. However, as he predicted, she stumbles on the spear he threw earlier, letting her rage control her. As she tries to regain her balance, he spins his spear around, and jabs at her head, pushing her back slightly from the force. He stands above her weapon, holding his spear at the ready.

"This is how you were taught to fight? Is that head of yours for display? Is that shield a pretty ornament? Ive fought your people before. The bandits who crippled me faught the same as you. Do you want to die so badly that you dont even use your eyes?"

[MelissaB]

"Is that the only reason for the exception?" She smirks and draws a breath of Katherine's hair. "No I think you want me to press you against the floor and take you as mine, maybe that's why you keep trying to provoke me?" Ginna grins confident in herself before taking her hands to Katherine's and grabbing her, trying to grapple and pin her to the floor beneath her.

[exalted]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

One round combat if Knight doesn't jump in.

Æsa smiled through the pain, running a hand up to her forward and feeling a small bleeding nick from the blow. Wiping the blood away she brought her fingers to her mouth and licked the blood off.

She circled the man, crouched low, eyes darting from to the axe as she waited for an opportunity to attack as he mocked her. Taking his advice she glanced to the wooden gladius she'd tossed in the first fight and circled back to it.

She tried to charge in again, knocking the spear aside she tried to get inside it's reach and force him back, hopefully off the axe so she could recover it and attack with both.

[KnightVanilla]

This was a little entertaining... but it was poor to see a one sided fight. Deciding to intervene she pulls her Bolo knife from her behind her throwing it at the instructor while she charged the savage girl with her sword. "Hey there... hope you dont mind me playing with the both of you!"

[Reaver]

Katherine laughed and pressed back against the grapple. "I think you just got horny by seeing a real warrior beat your kinsmen and you want a taste of all of this!" She dug her foot into the ground before leaning back and trying to sweep Ginna's legs out from under her with the other foot. She was more than competent at wrestling and if this bitch wanted to try it now and get humiliated in front of everyone,then Kat would be more than accommodating. "You can't stand against Imperial Might!" Chuckling.
