Silas and Carthurg clashed in the center of the makeshift arena and Silas made the first move a horizontal slice from both sword each coming from a different side. As expected Silas' attack was easily deflected by Carthurg who let his shield take the blow before sending a cleaving slash at Silas. With quick footwork Silas hopped back to avoid the attack and tried to strike back at Carthurg's exposed arm. Again Silas' attack was blocked as Carthurg brought back his axe to catch Silas' swords. Carthrug then threw his shield forward trying to bash Silas with the wall of steel. 

But Silas saw this as an opportunity jumping up and using the shield as a spring board to back flip away from Carthurg while at the same time pulling two of his throwing knives and letting them fly. One of the knives harmlessly bounced off of the metal guarding the Orc's right shoulder but the second knife found its mark piercing the orc just below his left collarbone. Carthurg gave out a grunt of pain as the small knife had somehow pierced down to its handle, Silas would have to thank Sonya for that little bit later as he could still feel her magic helping him along in the fight, But the Orc soon pulled the blade out and returned it in kind back at Silas who had just landed. 

Acting Quickly Silas deflected the blade not wanting to dodge it and send it into the crowd of Militia behind him and close behind the blade was Carthurg himself making a powerful swing at Silas with his axe. Able to bring up his blades in time to block the attack, things weren't going as Silas wished as the force of the hit sent him tumbling sideways. Silas landed in a kneeling position catching Carthurg's falling axe with his twin blades. In a battle of strength it was clear that Cathurg had an edge and at this point to the onlookers it would seem that Silas was losing handily in this fight. But he still had a few tricks up his sleeve. 

Carthurg was pushing Silas back his axe blade inching itself toward Silas' face but with a quick flick of his wrist Silas was able to knock the blade away and in that moment he leaped forward driving his shoulder into Cathurg's gut lifting the orc up off of the ground and throwing it flat onto its back. There was a hollow thud as Cathurg landed on the floor and the blow itself shook the orc. But instead of continuing his attack Silas stood his arms raised walking the arena floor as the Militia troops cheered for their champion. Cathurg was slow to recover but when he did the Orc was angry and he was done playing.
