Ferji

You circled around the bonfire seeking for an advantage. Your opponent's choice of weaponry showed that he might favor speed over strength. Not that you believed one of his size would be dexterous, nevertheless arrogance has always been the deadliest enemy of a warrior. You decided to use your maneuverability to its best.

"What is it," the orc leader silently questioned, and the bonfire leaped again.

"Kelevmor"

The flash of light on the blade and the swooshing sound of a swing were the only indication when the huge orc came at you. The low left cut was blocked by your sword but not after leaving a bleeding wound on your side. The swords clashed in anger and rung loudly in your eardrums, and the blood on his blade spilled as the two swords came together. Your palms felt slightly numbed around the hilt.

You gritted your teeth against the pain as a second blow came, swift and fast, cutting from right to down. It almost knocked you and your sword away, but you held it valiantly ignoring the burning pain on your hands and body. The third downward cut came from overhead, and your halfling's nimble feet carried you away to the side. You watched for a lightning second when the sword flew by your eyes.

Quickly you leveled your sword with both hands and let out a sideswipe aiming for the waist. Your sword came from above the orc's sword holding hand, for he had not yet retrieved his sword from last downward cut. The orc quick stepped towards you, knocking your body with his. Your weapon cut into his left arm but was knocked wide by his body missile, leaving only a minor bruise.

You stumbled backwards awkwardly, and saw the orc's sword lifting high. It rushed down at you in an arc, and you intercepted the sword in the mid fly with a swing to the side. You growled quietly, as the parry's impact forced you to fall, and the next killing blow would surely follow. Hastily, you kicked your feet hard and bent your upper body backwards into a back flip. You rolled consecutively many times, and heard many swooshing sounds behind you. Somehow you not only managed on your feet but also scored a hit on the side of the orc's wrist. A trail of blood was on the dirt floor where you just rolled.

"Tired so fast?" he asked as he came on.

Your breath came rapidly, but your enemy gave you no rest. As you got on one foot, a blade flew at your head's level. You darted your head to the side while raising your sword, half dodging and half deflecting. And a series of slashes followed and rained down on you, beating your swords like hurricane assaulting the unfortunate vessel caught in its path.

OOC:
ok, you are at a disadvantage position now, Ferji. if you want to stay there and continue to parry against with force, I will make an endurance check. and if you want to roll out, then I will do a dex check. or you can do whatever other plan. keep in mind you are a paladin.

btw, I was looking for music fitting for this scene, and I decided that one I used above was better than all others. and just for a laugh, check this out.
I was gonna use this one. LOL
