Day 4:Duel of Goblins "I agree and will try to pass on what I can to you. I hope to learn as well, but I will not go easy on you brother. Please do the same. Granfather! Me and brother Zectoll will be having a mock hunt." Excellent! Zectoll clasped his hands together and mirrored Lomen's removal of gear, placing his fang fist and Alpha horn on the ground near his living space. Zectoll then moved to the space in which they would duel. He was quite excited, as this was a moment to gain experience without the risk of being killed. He nodded to Lomen to acknowledge him and began to ready himself for the duel. Lomen's stare was intense, it was apparent to Zectoll that his brother would hold little back during their mock hunt. He met Lomen's stare with his own.
"Remember, watch, listen, learn. Breath in, focus, and then Lomen's roar caught Zectoll by surprise, causing him to immediately activate his
predator stance, as if it were a natural reflex to such a roar. His foot steps light and silent, Zectoll began to circle Lomen, his eyes hungering for a clear path of attack, the effects of Lomen's
challenge ability causing him to become supremely focused on his brothers every move. As he moved Zectoll noticed that his body felt different, certain muscles that were once dormant now flaring up in anticipation. He surmised that learning
unarmed combat beginner had activated certain muscle groups that were key to fighting with ones limbs.
Fists up in a tight guard Zectoll began to move towards Lomen slowly, favoring Lomen as a defensive fighter, due to his use of the shield. Once he was in range, Zectoll threw a tentative jab, much slower than he was capable of, to test Lomen's defenses. His brother easily evaded the jab, immediately counter attacking with a close-line maneuver. Having been deliberatly slow with his initial jab, Zectoll was light on his feet, strafing to the side, going along the path of the attack rather than into it. As he moved he brought up his left arm to block the blow. Lomen's arm crashed against his guard with force, causing him to wilt. Though much of the momentum of the attack was lost due to Zectoll moving along the path of the attack rather than against it, the blow still held much strength. Lomen's arm was up and wide, pressed against Zectoll's left arm and shoulder,leaving the goblin open to attack. Wasting no time Zectoll immediately launched his own counterattack, aiming a strong jab towards Lomen's midsection in an attempt to knock the wind out of his brother, stunning him. If successful, Zectoll would then try to grab the outstretched arm Lomen used for the close line maneuver, spinning on his heels and hooking his shoulder underneath Lomen's armpit in an attempt to hurl him to the ground.
