I still need a post from Leon. If anyone wants to arrive at Concord, it is a large, high tech city with architectural influences from all races. I wish I could get there sooner.
Since it seemed like Sabine was ready, Okun slung his bow over his shoulder and picked up his spear. He took his place opposite Sabine and looked at her uneasily, clearly nervous about the fight. He had been in practice fight before, but not something as important as this. Thorantilth pulled the trial poison out of his satchel, then walked over and gave it to Sabine.
"Just like last time, once you drink the poison, the fight will begin. It will continue until one fighter submits, or until I end the fight." He explained before stepping aside to get out of the way of the combatants.
Kaleeth looked down at the ground as Janius spoke. "I know there are a lot of bad things with it..." She began, looking up just enough that she could make eye contact with him. "...but maybe the good things are better? Maybe it is worth it?"
With the claps of thunder and Janius' last question, Kaleeth refocused her attention on the area around them. Her village moved across Black Marsh, but since they usually stopped in the same locations, she was familiar with the areas around most of them. Especially as a hunter, she was able to explore wide sections of the marsh, so there really wasn't anything around that she had not seen. However, the same was not true for Janius. She guessed there would be plenty of places he would like to see. "I have been all over this place. How about you take us to where you think would be fun. I want to see what you want to see." She responded while gently scratching behind his ears.

"Fourteen, like you." Okun answered promptly to Tunxeek when he asked.As Tunxeek relayed the information to Sabine, the storm that had been brewing overhead finally began, first as a light sprinkle, then as a solid thunderstorm. For the moment, the rain was moderately strong, though it could certainly become even more of a downpour. However, none of the Argonians present gave any real reaction and continued with what they were doing just as they had been before.
After a few minutes, Thorantilth finally arrived after performing his required duties. He had not expected to see Meesei and Sabine so soon, but he greeted them politely all the same. "Good morning to the both of you. I see you decided to arrive early. If you have already made all of your preparations, we could go ahead and begin, unless there is something else you wish to do first?" He asked, also repeating the question in Jel to Okun.
With how quick and agile Janius was, Kaleeth had a tough time keeping a hold of him. She felt like her claws were digging into his skin, even if it was too thick for them to puncture. The constant ducking and weaving between trees and bushes made it difficult for her to get oriented, but nevertheless, she was thoroughly impressed with his capabilities. She had seen his strength in the fight with the wamasu, and now she was experiencing his speed. It seemed like everything about him became superior in this form. She could see why people would be afraid of werewolves, but the kind of power they held was undeniable. If werewolves were not aggressive towards each other, she wondered why everyone didn't just take on that power, instead of trying to hunt the ones who had it. Certainly, this demonstration was causing her to look upon the condition more favorably, not to mention the enjoyment from the adrenaline rush he was giving her.
As Janius came to a halt, they were both soaking wet from diving through the pond, and it did not look like they were going to dry off anytime soon, as it began to rain shortly afterwards. It started out light enough, but became much heavier after only a few minutes. A loud crack of thunder did startle Kaleeth for a moment, though the rain did not bother her in the slightest. LIke most Argonians, she enjoyed the feeling of the moisture on her scales. Kaleeth loosened her grip now that they were stopped, then climbed off for a moment to stretch her legs. She walked around in front of him, completely without fear, and gave him a hug around his neck. "Thank you for doing this. I really like your werewolf form. I bet it makes you a really strong hunter."

Right, that was what I was doing. I'll get on that.
I gave a short post. Need to go to bed now though.
While Sabine spoke to her opponent, Meesei found a quiet spot to sit down and relax. The fight was not set to begin for another few hours, but it could start early if everyone was ready. The only person not present was Thorantilth. He likely had other duties he needed to perform before he could join them. Meesei knew well that the position of Treeminder came with many responsibilities. The healer had began work approving Sabine's potions, so once that was finished, they could begin as soon as the Treeminder arrived.
Kaleeth wasn't as surprised as last time she saw Janius transform, but she was still in awe. Once he was fully in his wolf form, she walked alongside him and ran her hands across his fur coat. "You are so big as a werewolf. Strong muscles, sharp claws, scary teeth. It all looks so powerful, like a great predator. I see why you are all hunters. I wish I could be a powerful werewolf like you.." With a smile, Kaleeth leaned forward and kissed the side of his snout before reaching up and attempting to climb up on his back.

Once Tunxeek translated, Okun started shaking his head. 'No, I wouldn't do that. Wutanxeex is already being punished for it, at least by the Treeminder and his parents. I probably wouldn't get the chance anyway. The Master-Hunter has not been training me for too long, though the Treeminder did say I was a good match from you. I guess we are close enough in experience. I was told not to give up until I can't fight anymore, but...could you not hit me when I am down too?"
Kaleeth took a deep breath. "I hope you are not wrong. I have never seen father act like this, so I just...don't know anymore. I have been too afraid to ask mother about it. I have not talked to her either, not in days. I just have to have hope."
When Janius finished his food, Kaleeth gave a renewed smile and took his hand."Okay, we can go out to our...usual place. It should be far enough, and if not, we can go farther." She said as they started to leave the village. She could hardly contain her excitement, even as the rainclouds started to form overhead. She didn't know what Janius had planned, but the mystery of it all was making her all the more excited.

Elite, I have some questions about who'd Srath would be contacted by for my next post.
Since he is military, it would be his direct superiors. Of course, the order would be coming from even higher.
The New Yorker said
Really, you shouldn't be getting hit too often in mortal combat with edged and blunt weapons. Generally, getting struck with a hammer in your side or on your arm is enough for the opponent to clear the space between you and put that thing over your head. That whole conversation is almost null, because, as we've noted, deflecting blows and dodging hits is the only way to actually win a fight. Unless you're in a fist fight, that can go either way really.
If you're wearing full plate armor, taking hits from blades is a legitimate option, since no sword can cut through steel. Only thrusting attacks to joints are viable. Of course, any competent swordsman is not even going to attempt a cut on armor, since it is useless.
Indeed. It is certainly not impossible to create a set of armor capable of handling impacts like that, but it would be impractical. You can't make it for everyone, it was already expensive enough to make the armor they had, and it would be heavier to carry around with the extra padding. Deflecting blows makes more sense.
