As Karaulish came forward starting to cover the ~7-9ft between them Olga did three things, the movements melting into each other as she waited for an opening and then took the opportunity. On his second pivoting step into the downward slash Olga would once more hop backwards onto her right foot and then swing her left leg back around behind to support her weight as she leaned back onto it, further distancing her upper body from the downswing just in case her opponent guessed she'd back up again and surged forward even further during his initial attempt to slice her from shoulder to chest.

The moment Olga landed on her back foot and Karaulish was just past the mid-point of his first downswing the orc's left arm swung up, letting go of the large wolf pelt she'd picked up not a second or two ago. It wasn't exactly made to act like a net and was considerably heavier than a normal coat of its size, but even still, with a little bit of a rotation during the throw and Olga's immense natural strength it wasn't a hard task to have the pelt sail right at Karaulish like a duellist's cloak, the idea to simply cover his vision or at least force him to step out of the way for the briefest of moments - all the time Olga needed.

If Karaulish was either hit and covered by the pelt or took the time to step out of the way as it flew through the air at him Olga would make one final movement in this small chain of events: After the pelt had been thrown and her balance was improved a little by her left leg swinging back to support her weight Olga's right hand shot forward, letting go of the spear she'd taken from Karaulish. It was hardly aerodynamic but given it only had to cover ~5-6ft to reach him from where she was now there was no need to put much thought into aiming. With a grunt of effort from the greenskin the old fighter's own spear would whistle through the air threatening to pierce straight through his stomach just under the solar plexus, barely over a second after the pelt had been thrown.

As Olga had waited for Karaulish to approach as he went into his pivoting steps and then jumped back once more during his actual attack she'd be roughly 6ft away as each object is thrown, the first being thrown exactly as he is half done swinging downward, the latter 1.5 seconds after that.
And so there'd be a sudden whoosh instead as the punch found only air and then the sword swung upward. Olga did move out of the sword's path straight after her left hand went out as she hadn't felt an impact or heard a skull shattering, this time back a few steps whilst her right hand re-positioned its grip on the spear she'd taken and then twirled it around, the tip pointing down toward the ground now as the hefty orc backpedalled, hopping back first onto her left foot and then her right, three feet of distance each time, going over the large wolf pelt that'd fallen to the ground behind her. A brief moment is taken by Olga - if Karaulish hadn't immediately advanced - to stoop down and pick that wolf pelt back up with her left hand, standing up straight again after she'd taken three backsteps. Her face still looked entirely neutral, no anger or even any other emotion currently obvious from her expression. Her eyes never left Karaulish and they didn't seem to blink either, aside from that no muscles above her neck moved at all.

If she'd been allowed to back away and pick her coat back up without being attacked she'd just stare at Karaulish for a moment, her head tilting to the side, almost like a puppy hearing its owner say a word it recognised. The spear's point would drift upward as her hand turned, the orc now holding the weapon almost like a javelin, the cloak in her left hand half hanging down and half laying on the ground, the hand holding it by the collar down by her waist.

She wouldn't make any sudden movements if she'd gotten this far without him doing something offensive, watching to see what he'd done during and thinking about what she thought he might do after these few moments had passed. He could easily interrupt during all of this, of course, since he'd be right in front of her, in which case she would drop her plan to back off and react defensively the moment she saw he wasn't going to stop. That depended on what Karaulish did after he swung that sword, though.
It was a beautiful day to have your head explode.

As he put his might into the shove Karaulish would first feel his feet lifting off of the ground, then a rush of air against his face as he was pulled sharply toward Olga. The orc had a vice-like grip of the haft of his spear long before he'd gone into the attempted shove, and so not only would he end up pushing against nothing but he'd find himself pulled forward instead of going backward. Why? Because the moment Olga had gotten a hold of his spear and he'd kept coming she had turned to her right, her right hand pistoning out behind her dragging the end of the spear with it, and if Karaulish was still holding onto it a split second later?

C R U N C H .

Her left arm had already raised, and now was the time when it snapped out, as Karaulish was pulled in. A leading jab aimed right between the eyes, her knuckles not the contact point if it landed, but rather the four inches of wrought iron that made up the spike extending past her knuckles thanks to those deadly looking bracers. If her 27mph punch hit Karaulish square in the face there would be no face left afterwards, the force of a punch from the orc not reaching the force Karaulish could generate with his fantastic strength, but far more than enough to kill a normal man twice over. He'd only see a green-grey blur and then it was lights out, unless his reflexes were something really special or he had let go of the spear when Olga pulled.
The satisfying resistance of an impact and the sudden tearing of dry skin. Karaulish would feel and hear these things, but he wouldn't see blood from the orc just yet. As he lunged forward screaming and jabbed his spear at Olga that green right arm had raised and done a swift clockwise semicircle at the elbow like a mouse trap being sprung, the railroad spike attached to the outside of her wrist the contact point between bracer and spear point as Karaulish's weapon was pushed a mere eight inches to the side - much less than she expected given Karaulish was far stronger than he looked - missing Olga's neck and instead catching the wolf hide's collar, causing its strap to rip and the garment to be pushed behind Olga stuck on the tip of the spear, the haft of the weapon against the top of Olga's right shoulder.

If during - or, much more likely, before - Karaulish's opening attack he decided he was going to swiftly pull back the spear and either retreat or go for another strike he'd find himself unable, as Olga's right hand was now visibly clamped around his spear, her hand simply having turned and closed after she'd pushed the jab to her right a little bit - assuming she was successful in this, of course.

If this reaction went as Olga intended Karaulish would have to either abandon that spear to be able to get away or find a way to get it out of Olga's grip right now, because she hadn't stopped walking. Her left arm during all this had also casually raised, the hand slowly closing into a fist. If she was able she'd be stepping right up into punching range, her lead foot coming down between where his feet were planted. The orc was only slightly taller and heavier than Karaulish, but she was staring down at him with a look somehow reminiscent of a tsunami about to crash over an unknowing crab scuttling across a long-evacuated beach.
The orc stared at Karaulish unblinking as he approached, perfectly still save for the wolf pelt draped over her shoulders swaying in the gentle breeze. He wouldn't have to wait long after he walked up to her for the fight to begin, Olga giving Karaulish the briefest of nods as he got into position 10ft from the centre before she started to advance as well.

Long, powerful strides brought her closer to the spear-toting man at a casual speed for a creature her size, a brisk walk that caused her braids of hair and her wolf pelt to bob to and fro as she plodded forward. She'd made no move to draw any of her weapons, his only hint of the orc getting ready for the fight being the way her every muscle seemed to tense up like a spring waiting to be released and her right hand slowly raising just a little bit past her waist, the heavy bracer on it adorned with what looked like a railroad spike on the outer wrist extending past the knuckle her weapon of choice at this time, it seemed.

If he let her she'd walk straight into range for him to jab at her with that spear, only stopping if there was a sudden movement. Karaulish's reaction to her walking right up to him would determine exactly how she moved after that.
"Mmm..."

Shielding her eyes from the sun with one hand, a towering monster of a woman lumbers into the arena, not stopping to eye the rickety bridge she was crossing as it groaned under her weight with each short step. She makes her way into the fighting area, automatically stopping her obviously drunk gait about ten feet away from the exact centre of the place. Her face is a vacant, surly frown and her posture is slouched - lazy, even.

Her eyes slowly roll up to take in whoever else had come here, doing a quick once-over to check what he was carrying and wearing once she saw him. She'd make no sounds nor attempt to give or respond to a greeting, the weapons strapped to her and the look on her face surely more than enough to let this man know the greenskin standing in the arena had come here for what everyone else came here for. She'd make no move to draw the halberd strapped to her back, she'd simply stand there and stare at him wordlessly, beady little mottled grey eyes barely looking like they were focused at all, hands dangling loosely at her sides.
Hopefully I formatted this right. :^)
