[b]Remember to use the full notation for attacks, just as you guys did during the training post, like - Combat Notation for Neco-Arc's attack: Strength B (5) + Natural Weapons C (4) + Fighting Style [Catting Around - Natural Weapons] C (4) = Base Effectiveness = 13 Base Effectiveness. This will be useful in every RP you participate in and makes the narrator verification of results easier.[/b]

The knife runner comes fast, blades flashing for the cross-parry. Varius drops the gladius like a hawk stooping. Steel meets steel with a loud bite that jars the thug’s wrists. The angle is wrong by a hair. The edge skims past his guard and the pommel blooms under his cheekbone a heartbeat later. He pops off his heels and skids three steps, sand pluming. His stance loosens, footwork lagging as if his boots suddenly grew heavy. [Knife Runner takes 2 damage, Knockback F, Drain Speed F.] [b](Varius E Grade Abilities are now on cooldown, only being avaiable in the next round. Cooldown 0/1)[/b]

The dockside bruiser whips his net for the catch the instant Varius lands. It whistles over a shoulder and snaps on empty air. He yanks to tangle legs and gets only sand. The boat hook jab streaks low for the calf and carves a furrow instead. The crowd hoots at the near miss. Varius shakes free of the press with no strings on him.

At the red gate line, the shield thug chooses Don. He barrels in, board high, feet churning, trying to drive the older fighter backward toward the rail. The rim thumps for center mass and the cudgel lifts over the top for a collarbone chop as soon as the board finds purchase. Then he plants behind the round shield, squat and braced, daring a counter while he screens the lane for his mates. [b](4~7 Base Effectiveness attack incoming VS Don)[/b]

From the corner of the mouth of the tunnel, Neco Arc cups tiny paws and hollers, [b]“Buns in, fangs out, remember to party when they parry, nya.”[/b] The drum keeps time. The knives flicker again at range, but the knife runner’s bounce is gone. Don has a split second to choose his line into the rushing board.
