[09:36] Malachi Stormcrow walks up to Kanda and shakes his head. "I've been trying to find the new man ... Akiel. He and I have a duel to punch out." He grinned. "But I can't find him around."
[09:37] Kanda Veeper glances over and continues right where they had left off "No i am not saving you for myself..i'm saving her from being accosted by men who should be taking out such aggressions on slaves..not the women.." she chuckles "I dont know if many of the men in the Laager are honorable enough to not do such a thing before Mating someone.." she knew that some of the Men were not that good about such things "I have not seen the new man ...i'm sure he will be around soon enough though...and shall i make sure there is ice for your hand after your break his face?"
[09:41] Malachi Stormcrow grins. "Only if you provide the attention, Kanda," he winks, beginning to stretch and remove his sword. He was proud that she thought highly of his skills, but he was not too worried about losing, considering the bet he had made.
[09:43] Kanda Veeper raises a brow and turns. Obviously he meant it as a bit of a jab or sorts but truth be told, someone was probably going to have to do it. If neither Aubrey or the other slaves were not around it was likely to be herself anyways "Surely i will assuming you win and there is no one better suited..You know ..healers and the like." she turns back towards the view the she didnt think anyone could get enough of "So what is the fight about? He gets in if you win i assume?"
[09:45] Malachi Stormcrow thought for a moment, actually not sure of the particulars. "I can't remember exactly. Just a measure of strength really. And if he bests me, he is to carry me about his back up and down the trail to the laager for a month to show his penance." He laughed, thinking of the genious of the bet.
[09:47] Kanda Veeper turns around and swore she must have heard something wrong "I'm assuming thats if he bests you...you are to carry him around?" her head tilts ..it didnt make sense to have it be the other way around or surely the man would pick to lose..despite what honor may be lost in doing so. She would surely consider it "Anyways..i wanted to ask and i know this is off topic and a while back now..but that Man..who came here when iwas alone..was going to do awful things. DId you ever find trace of him?"
[09:50] Malachi Stormcrow laughs, shaking his head. "No, indeed I spoke rightly. The test is whether he would find such an honorabletask of great worth, which he assured me he would.." Then his eyes widened and he remembered the man. "Ah! How had I forgotten! Yes, I found where he is, living in ease and luxery, growing fat with pirates." He chuckled. "I merely need to return and bring him here."
[09:53] Kanda Veeper really didnt much care about the fight anymore though that was indeed going to be an interesting little test for him. "You found him!!!" she nearly shouts and didnt know if it was better to be angry she had not been told sooner or to be happy he was found at all "Well then what have you been waiting for Mal!? That man is a danger to every woman who peaks his interest. I ..cant even imagine what he has done in the time since."
[09:56] Akiel Martian strode up to the gates of the Alar, he took in a deep breath, "..I have an appointment to be kept with one of yours, Alar! Open to me your gates so I may make good on my agreement and make this place where I might lay my axe!!"
[09:56] Kanda Veeper wasnt sure if she heard, saw or just felt something coming up behind her so she quickly takes a peek back "Oh well tal tamia. Its been a bit since i have seen you around. I'm assuming you wernt taken or anything like that?" she was still first and foremost worried for the safety of all the Laager females..slave and free the risk seemed the same..at least of being taken.
[09:58] Kanda Veeper raises a brow and shouts out into the world "Right!! WE know of this appointment. !!" then motions tamia towards the gates which is where it sounded like the call was coming from. With the rocks around it was sometimes hard to be totally sure ..."Bring him up here. I think its Mal he seeks. "
[09:59] tamia Darkstone approached a bit shyly, "tal, Mistress" but kept most of her thoughts silent. Then again the interruption of the shouting kept her from having to speak much. She nodded, "yes, Mistress" and moved back towards the gate to let the loud one in.
[10:01] Malachi Stormcrow was about to reply to Kanda, saw, Tamia, then heard the loud bellow and smirked. Ah, he had come. Good. Mal flexed and stretched a bit, careful to keep his sword and other weapons to the side. He prepared his mind for a good fight. "I have been keeping tabs on the man, and have paid others to do so as well. As of now, he is fat and sluggish and only waiting for capture." He smiled reassuringly at Kanda. "We will catch the abuser of our women, Kanda. No worries. I only wait for the right time."
[10:04] Kanda Veeper smirks a little watching Mal get all prepped for his fight. She did hope there was something cold around to put onto the bruises...or she would have to see them dumped into the river to lessen the swelling "Good..i'm glad to hear you have been and i look forward to seeing whatever it is the Men decide is appropriate punishment.." she hoped so deeply it was something good .."Tal again there .." she waves to Akiel and takes a good step back "tamia..we might want to stay back a bit..for a little while.."
[10:05] tamia Darkstone moved over to stand beside the Mistress, and stayed quiet as she watched the strangers. She wasn't sure what was going on but she whispered out, "yes, Mistress" and she moved back a few steps, making sure she didn't fall off the edge.
[10:05] Malachi Stormcrow raises his hand and his lips curve to a wry smile as the man approaches. "Halt, man! I have no intention of fighting you with such sharp protrusions of hair like a helmet of knives. I demand your head shaved first." He was, of course, chuckling as he spoke. He was hoping very much for a good balanced fight that might teach them both much of each other and of combat. He had always been taught as much. Fur the women, fight the men, and you will know them all.
[10:06] Akiel Martian grinned as he neared the group, his left hand and right, coming over to the axe, and longbow he wore, and set them off to the side, not far from Kanda, "..tal lady..", he said, and looked to Twisted, "..stand off with them, mine..I have someone to pummel..", he said with a wider grin now as he turned to Mal, yes, it was only a bout, no weapons, but it was beyond a doubt in the Alars eyes, a chance to prove himself, as a chance to see if the old Macellus' hand to hand training would finally pay off.
[10:08] Malachi Stormcrow broadened his own grin, toothy and glaring with his ravenous might. University hand to hand combat had taught him the basics, but living in the wild had added a ruthlessness to his stance and form. He now positioned to it. Tamia might be reminded of the strange dances he used to do on the cliff tops. Oh, and his own weapons were placed close to Kanda as well, having emoted as such earlier on while Akiel was being a late ass.
[10:08] Kanda Veeper crosses her arms under her breasts and watches with great intensity. She of course had much faith in Mal's ability and there was a trail of broken noses around Gor that could testify to the power of the Man's fists. The other ..she knew not so much about but he had big arms..and that on their own seemed like a powerful weapon. This was going to be a good fight..she could feel it in the pit of her pits..
[10:08] Twisted Paulse kept her mouth shut for for the first time in their travels. She would glance down at the stones she stood on, giving only a small nod of her head.. "Of course, my Master.." She scooted off to the side, glancing shyly towards the Woman and the slave that had lead them through the city.. Her lips graced with the hint of a smile.. "Greetings, Mistress.. Greetings slave.." She spoke softly though turned her attention to the fight that was going to happen.
[10:10] Malachi Stormcrow removed the heavier items he wore, enjoying a lighter feel when he fought. He was not the largest of men, but spry and balanced. He guaged his opponent with respect and calculation.
[10:10] tamia Darkstone smiled at the slave, but quickly her attention was taken by the men. As usual. But this time for different reasons. Her head tilted to the side as she tried to wager who would win, and though she had watched Mal practice upon the rocks, she never had really seen him in a fight. In truth she had never witnessed a fight at all. It was beyond interesting.
[10:13] Kanda Veeper peeks around tamia and takes a look at the girl and took a guess she was doing her owners near deadly and bright hair "Hm...seems fashions are very different where he is from. tamia..you are going to have to teach. Strikes me as that red is like a target on your head.." she smiles..it was a lovely color but could certainly see battle issues with it at the least. Less stealth. "Now..fight fight fight!!"
[10:13] Akiel Martian shook his head, "..ye'd be suprised how much hold the yolk of a vulo egg has..", he jested about the comment of his hair, and looked over the ledge, whistling aloud, "..now that would be a drop, wouldnt it?", he querried to Mal, and watched him a moment, Akiel was the largest of most men, but his training and instinct had always given him that edge that made a warrior, his head would tilt to one side and then the other, a light pop heard at his neck each time, his fists clenched and loosened as he squared off Mal, sizing him up, "..upping the ante, are we?"
[10:16] Malachi Stormcrow shrugged, sending his arms and legs in loose shakes as he too bent his neck to either side and flung back the hair from his eyes. He thought shaving his own head might be a good idea as well. "I always enjoy getting creative ... though if those hair spikes are poisoned, I draw the line." He stretched his fingers out and then wound them into tight fists, drawing power from his core to the damaging extentions of Alar doom. "Are you ready then?"
[10:16] Twisted Paulse listend to the conversation but kept quiet. It was often best, espically in new lands.. She glanced to the backside of her Master and then past him to the male he was going to be fighting.. This was definately going to be interesting and here she forgot the snacks..
[10:19] Jaym Wolfhunter strode amongst the Laager..He patted a young child upon the head that rolled the hub of a wheel with a stick...He had paused the hub with a calloused paw..."The time for hoops and sticks is done...speak to your father...say to Him...Father...it is time I learned the sacramasax" He said and with that...He loosed the boys head...making His way to where it seemed two men faced each other...and remembrance found His mind...He folded His arms acrossed His chest saying naught...but watched...interested to be certain...
[10:19] tamia Darkstone chuckled softly and gave the Mistress a glance, just for a moment, before she responded. "oh i can teach you many a thing, Mistress" She winked and whispered all hushed, "later" before she glanced back to the men. She didn't want to miss a thing, that way she could tell the blow by blow account of everything that happened.
[10:21] Akiel Martian heard Kanda, and would have words for the woman later, humorous words, mayhaps but words all the same. He shook his head, "..poison, tch..leave that to the black caste, such things have no place among warriors..", he said. And that was it, his legs coming down shoulder length, and his arms raised, ever so slightly and his gaze flicked to Jaym, "..tal Chieftan.", he said quickly and his attention turned to Mal again, "..lets see what ye' can do."
[10:23] Twisted Paulse leans in towards the girl that had brought them to the rock cliff.. Her words soft, spoken only for the girl to hear.. "They do like to make us squrim in anticipation, don't they?" Her words of course in refrence to how long it took them to take a swing.. Those intense blue eyes locked on the two males that were going to partake in some sort of battle.
[10:24] Kanda Veeper offers the Chieftain a smile and didnt expect he would be one to miss a fight like this. His timing was perfect to watch. "tamia..i have no doubt you could teach me a whole world of things. And i could, You." but now was not the time for such lessons . Now was the time to watch fists fly and she felt her breath catch..of course by being of the Laager alone she wanted Mal to win. There was no other option for them most of the time.
[10:25] Malachi Stormcrow nodded in approval of his words concerning poison and drew in a deep breath, cleansing all thought of life outside of the fight. He imagined the strokes he would attempt, the moves he would perform, and the reactions this large man might dish out in response. He stepped forward, first striding, then jogging, keeping light on his feet and planting them suddenly, raising his hand with the palm toward Akiel as though taking a moment, then nodded that he was ready as a fierce right hook wound round toward the side of Akiel's face. His left hand was up at his own face and would jab out quick toward the face as well once the other was thrown. And with that, the fighting ensued.
[10:26] Jaym Wolfhunter 's eyes danced calm but bright and still He said naught...He reached to scratch at the right side of His face with the four fingers of His right hand...
[10:27] tamia Darkstone chuckled again and tilted her head towards the girl who came with the man. Her words were equally soft, and whispered low but her gaze still remained on the men. "They do. Perhaps i should shoot out a small little dart to get them started." She grinned. Not that she would do it, besides she wasn't sure if she had the right aim and knowing her luck, she'd end up shooting the wrong person. Her eyes went wide as the fight started, and instantly she became quiet, letting the sun's rays illuminate the two in a spotlight.
[10:28] Twisted Paulse was in the midst of nodding her head in agreement when the fight came to a start. She felt her breath catching in her throat and her muscles tensing. She was torn between who to route for.. her Master because he was well.. her Master.. or the stranger that got the benefit of knocking her Master around.. Such termoil! Thankfully she kept her thoughts to herself by sinking her teeth into the plump flesh of her lower lip.
[10:29] Akiel Martian shifted his form, leaning off a bit to the side, his left hand coming up quickly to block the swing, and successfully so, the jab however, caught Akiel off guard, his head jerking back momentarily and he wrinkled his nose, yes this was going to be a nifty one. His poise quickly returned, this man was built like a bosk, and it would take more than jabs to keep him out. His Form shifting inwards as he swung, straight at Mal's chest, Akiel was a powerhouse and had little in the way of gracefullness but he knew how to use his weight and strength to pin his opponent down.
[10:30] Kanda Veeper fills her lungs with what little room there was left to do so and puffs out her cheeks as she watches the first hands take flight. Her fingers grip into her arms and a familiar rouge comes to her cheeks but this time it was lack of air that was causing it. She was either going to pass out or have to breathe eventually..but for now she wasnt even aware she was doing it...
[10:35] Malachi Stormcrow had tested the sturdiness of the man and found him solid, like some statue with a firey torch atop, proclaiming "I AM LARGER THAN YOU!" He grinned at the happy pain resonating through his left fingers and then braced himself for the impact to his plexus. This man would not go down easily, but perhaps could be chipped away to nothing if his endurance lacked. He found himself lifted from the ground and soaring backward a pace to land on his boots, the vibration of the hit still coarsing through him. He laughed and barreled right back in, almost as quick as he could, hands raised to each side of his face. He planted again, feigning another right hook before letting loose with a strong fling of his upper thigh, cracking his left foot toward the man's right side and curling around to his back.
[10:38] Twisted Paulse let out a slow breath when the first blows where shared.. Then quickly filled her lungs with much needed air the moment the unknown male came forth to bring on another set of blows to her Master.. Her hands found her skirts and took handfulls of the material to have something to hold onto.. Now that the battle was getting good, she couldn't help but squrim.
[10:40] Akiel Martian watched Mal, he was unstopable, Akiel's punches usually brought men to their knees, and this one came back for more, it was nothing, if not impressive. He blinkedat the sing and his form shift, naturaly his left hand coming up to block the feint, and thats all it was, a feint, nothing caught his hand. And this left Akiel with an opening, one Mal exploited like atactician, he felt the kick to his side and Akiel grunted in pain, his arm lowered around the source attempting to lock his arm around Mal's leg, and his eyes shone at his opponent if he caught the leg, as if saying; 'Looky what I got?'
[10:40] Kanda Veeper gasps hard and proclaims "There are feet in this fist fight?!" but she figured fair was fair and body was body. It would be interesting if they started literally cracking their heads. Again her eyes refocused. It was always so easy to miss key shots in these things. Have it suddenly be over before you even have a chance to cheer or realize what had happened "ohh.." she winces and did figure they were going to be hitting the ground at any moment now ..
[10:46] Malachi Stormcrow felt his mind swim with thoughts. He had not expected the large man to be quite that quick, and yet he had clenched Mal's ankle before he could yank it away from the vice hold. There was really only one move Mal knew to counter this and it didn't always work. He chided himself for not being quicker with his leg as he allowed his upper half to lay back and twist at the same time, drawing his captured leg up into a tight bend so as to provide leverage against the grasp and closing the distance to the man, while extending the free leg for a swipe at that oafish head. With any luck, he could break free and or hit the man's face and roll a short distance away before righting himself.
[10:51] Twisted Paulse quickly brought both hands to clasp over her mouth.. That sharp cry of surprise now swallowed back down her throat and left to be unheard. She leaned forewards like an eager spectator that wished to see every part of this exhilirating battle.
[10:51] Akiel Martian felt the slam to the side of his head and litteral stammered to one side, Mal had agility less weight on his side, Akiel took a moment and shook his head, before those emerald hues locked back on Mal, as if some enraged bosk, coming running in, hir right foot raised high, round housing over Mal's head, why? Because Akiel wanted the man to duck, he was luring him into a movement. Akiel keeping with that momentum of his kick would soon have most of his back to Mal, and if the man had ducksed as Akiel wanted, would bring his left arm in a quick elbow jab straight at the man's face, this of course still left Akiel taking chances and leaving openings, who else would purposely give their back to an opponent?
[10:58] Kanda Veeper almost felt it ..the shot and she knew it would have knocked herself flat on her ass..yet Akiel still stood and really seemed as agile as the moment he had gotten here. It was a far different fight then the sort two women would have. She almost felt the need to duck..to start fighting the air as though it was her own opponent. "Ug.." she cries out in frustration and didnt even know which side she was now frustrated for..perhaps just that she wasnt in on something similar ..
[10:59] Malachi Stormcrow was still scrambling up from his roll when the kick came, causing him to reverse his actions, crouching on hands and knees. He wondered for a moment whether the man were a complete fool. Perhaps the kick to his head had jostled out something important about close combat. Mal had been taught never to place your back to an opponent. Mal learned now, however, that this was only for regular sized men, not giants. The backward jab came just as Mal was leaping forward, arms extended for a choke hold. His fingers stretched and yearned even as the thrust pounded like the mighty hammer of Thor into his left pec. This jostled his momentum, causing his hands to scramble for a hold on the man's shirt back, grabbing and yanking Mal's upper half toward the neck which he would attempt to lock with both arms EVEN as his lower half went painfully flying backward, making Mal's body completely verticle for a moment. ((whew)) There was a quiet pause as his body quaked with pain and his arms wrenched to hold tight.
[11:07] Akiel Martian did not even have the time to look over his shoulder, as those hand came around, his head was still pounding and mostly would continue to do so tomorrow, that was alright, Twisted would make him feel all better, yes yes. When the hands came around, AKiel took a breath and his hands came up, attempting to unlatch those arms and their vice like hold, nope not happening. His gaze looked to Jaym and he smirked maliciously. His hands then moved back, grabbing Mal's pants at either side, and then started trotting backwards, yes towards the cliff, "..ye' said ye' upped the ante, enjoy it!", he said in a choked voice as he lept back, yes, off the cliff which would most likely have them both carreining right down that small casm, Akiel however would have a cushing for that first hit which was sometimes the most dangerous; Mal.
[11:12] Kanda Veeper slowly rises to her toes as the fight gets very good and suddenly seemed to be a lot more dangerous than fee t and fists. They might need much more than bandages to heal this if what seemed to now be happening almost in slow motion before her was actually going to happen. Surely they realized where they were heading..surely they couldnt be heading deliberately towards the edge of the ledge. It wasnt too far a fall but if someone hit poorly it could certainly end them "You are both mad!! Dont kill yourselves over this!!" it need not come to that she didnt think and a hand extends forwards like she could either reach or catch them both..too bad she was way too far away to do any good..all she could do was watch with her heat in her throat
[11:13] Malachi Stormcrow had not, of all the responses, considered flinging them off the cliff. Grabbing at his choke hold, sure. That was perfect. But the grip of his pants and the tipping over the ledge ... that was pure genious so long as it wasn't the stupidest thing done in the history of Gor. Mal wished he had thought of it. Now. What to do. He could let go with his hands, but then his body would still be attached at the pants, unless ... yes ... there was definitely a ripping sound and a loosening feeling around his balls. So he did the opposite thing his body was telling him. Instead of letting go and getting away from the heavy bolder of a man above him, he squeezed harder, with all the strength he had, which was much considering how short the fight had been. He pulled away from the grip of his pants, finally feeling the full rip of fabric free from his body. Then he loosened, trying to scramble to the man's top side and surf him down like an Earthian "dude." But there was no time for all that. The bottom was rising fast
[11:16] Twisted Paulse's teeth found the inner flesh of her bottom lip and bit so hard that she could take in the taste of her own coppery blood.. Her eyes were as wide as saucers, watching the fight lead straight for the edge of the cliff.. She had the urge to lurch forwards but for some reason her body would not move.. Fear held her in spot, fear for the male that owned her collar.. She couldn't even rip her gaze away from what was happening. A hand dropped to touch the front of her collar.. The normal nagging of a typical womans worries started poking through her thoughts, if something happened to her Master.. Well she'd have to start all that hard work of finding another.. Yup, leave it to the slut to start thinking of new Masters already..
[11:18] Akiel Martian felt the shifting at his back and his left hand came out, keeping Mal, of his front, no surfing the warrior, not today, and then he felt it, the full slam of his weight, hitting the hill a few times upon the way down, and being blind sided by a tree to finish, but Mal was right next to him, lest he diverted in the fall, maybe AKiel would get lucky and Mal would hit a few obsticles on the way down too. As for Akiel, he stayed laying int the grass a moment, the crisp northern scent filling his nostrils along with the scent of blood, most likely his own, from his mouth, nose, slowly asscessing which parts of his body had been harmed in the dive.
[11:21] Jaym Wolfhunter called out from the clifftop..."Thats enough!" He roared...His eyes falling to the fellows sprawled out upon the ground...He'd watched them fall over the cliff in a tangle...Hed seen it coming as soon as the man began backing up....He spoke calmly then..."Dust yourselves off...nothing further is to be proven with the splitting of heads...You two need to clasp arms...for now you are assigned to watch each others back" He spoke from the rocky outcropping..
[11:24] Malachi Stormcrow saw the wall of cliff flash by and he leaned for it, reaching out a hand to scrape against the hard dirt. But before he could find any proper hold he was at the bottom, crunched and one big bruise. He raised a wounded arm to aknowledge the faraway voice of Jaym before letting it slap down against Akiel's chest. He too smelled and felt the blood and called out hoarsely. "I should like that ice pack now!"
[11:25] Akiel Martian heard Jaym's voice from above, and slowly, his body aching, began to get to all fours, "..someone get the number of that bosk?", he muttered, head rining and thudding. He looked up at Jaym, one thing was certain, if Akiel was willing to fling himself off a cliff to hinder an opponent, imgine what he would do for those of the Alar he wished to part of protecting. He raised to his knees and felt the slap to his chest, grinning, "..aye, ice sounds good brother, ice sounds very very good.."
[11:26] Kanda Veeper laughs hearing him call out and was actually relieved the Chieftain ended it "tamia..take his girl to the kitchen..find the coldest of what we have..if not you are going to have to see them both to the river.." she had agreed to tend to him so long as there was no one else around to do it..but indeed there were a few slaves "If you see aubrey too ..bring her ..have her check the Men over..reset anything that needs it and so on. " then she calls out "Good fight."
[11:27] Twisted Paulse had watched right up to that final point where they were about to topple over the edge. Then she clenched her eyes so tightly shut that her entire face squinted. Her breath was held in her lungs, every muscle in her body knotted up.. It wasnt until she heard the Woman speak that she cracked open one eye and then the other.. Letting out a slow breath at the realization that the dumb brute didn't get himself killed.
[11:30] tamia Darkstone was in a daze, almost having watched it all like a dream. The shouting woke her up and she shook her head, glancing around in wonderment. Who had won? It didn't matter she would find out later. Hearing the Mistress speak, it brought her to the present and she nodded, "yes, Mistress" She made her way over to the girl and placed a gentle hand on the girl's shoulder, whispering low to her, "follow me please"
[11:31] Jaym Wolfhunter looked down at the two fellows who would ride together...He grinned..."Now..." He said as his eyes turned to the Lore Keeper..."I would of course...appreciate your letting those of the Laager know...that in the expansion of our greatness ...a new fellow has come to lend a hand" He said to her simply...
[11:31] Twisted Paulse's body jerked in surprise when the hand touched her shoulder. It was like she had gone deaf a moment and just finally began to hear the spoken words again. She glanced up at the girl, giving a slow nod of her head before rising up to follow.. "Yes, of course.." She softly whispered back, unable to find her true voice even if she could have.
[11:35] Kanda Veeper nods sagely and pulls out her little bit of parchment and begins to write. She had already been ready for such a request and would be sure the word got out by her hand. If anyone would read ..would be the next challenge "Congratulation, by the way!!" she calls down to the slightly broken Men and hopes the slaves are quick and think to get them drinks while they are at it ..
