Kindo's Progression Journal - Because he's a slacker

[15:17] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) would have snapped at Kindo for grumbling at Aoife, but she had missed it in her sulking grumpiness. She hadn't even noticed the bird until the two of them were inside and she heard Aoife talking to it. Her attention was then pulled to Kindo readying himself to fight with her and since part of her anger was due to him she didn't reject his offer. Instead she stood and removed the weapon from her back and setting it on the chair where she had just been seated, "Fine. You don't cry nearly as loud as he does anyway." She moved to stand near the knife that stood in the ground and lowered herself slightly, remembering the moves he had made and removing the spells she had cast upon herself when she and Red had gone to patrol, she gave a slight nod to let him know she was ready and would let him make the first move.
[15:26] Kindo was ready for the grump showdown of the century. It was the end all be all of grumping, a grumptacular grump-spectacle that wasn't for all ages. Reaching down to his chain sash, he unbelted the massive ribbon and held it aloft in his hand for a moment. The small chains links clattered and shimmered in the air, only to be briefly whipped around until they wrapped around his non-dominant hand and wrist. It was a clunky gauntlet to say the least, but it would to for now. Quickly charging into a lunge forward he stopped just barely out of arms reach and tossed his mass forward. His left arm swept out in a wild arc that looked to impose the idea he wanted to hit her with a hay-maker. Though his true intention would become clear as he let go of half of the chain sash. The metal spiraled unevenly and formed a whipping surface not unlike a curtain. It wouldn't hurt near as bad as a direct hit with a fist, but he was hoping that if he did hit he'd get her to think twice about coming close.

[15:27] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#023a#): 8 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Smack Elka with a bit of chain
[15:27] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R8 (IoV:#023a#): 8 - Smack Elka with a bit of chain against you.
[15:28] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#804a#): 8 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - No chain smack
[15:30] Aóife Goldfell (lauryn.renegade) sits at the bench, watching the two in their preamble, idly hypothesizing on the outcome. Kindo obviously had the size and brute strength, but she suspected Elka had plenty of tricks as well. Keeping her winged companion pacified with scraps of meat from a small pouch about her waist she watches with wide eyes when her man leaps right at her, instinctively shrinking into her chair but not looking away either.
[15:32] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) narrowed her eyes as she saw him wrap the chain around his fist and though she wasn't sure what his intent was she had been watching and doing her best not to let her emotions drive her like she usually did. And so when the metal came at her she was ready for it and she leaped back wards arms in the air. No bite from the metal came, but she felt the movement of the air that followed it and realized just how close it had come to her. The corner of her mouth perked up and she used one of the old tricks on him she had used often, sweeping a leg out to take his out from under him wondering if he had learned it yet.
[15:32] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#e994#): 23 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - No legs for you.
[15:33] Kindo rolls R6 (IoV:#0bfe#): 20 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - My legs!
[15:33] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R6 (IoV:#0bfe#): 20 - My legs! against you.
[15:41] Kindo 's extended posture had been unfortunately easy to predict, and her counter was adequate and well noted. Kindo toppled off his feet and onto his back like a pile of bricks, but as he tended to do he got right back up. (-2 HP, 3/5) He didn't waste anytime however, still wielding his sash of chain in yet unexplored ways. He dashed at her, but instead of aiming to strike or surmount her, Kindo feinted a blow toward her side while skirting to her back. Reaching out he'd try to seize hold of her in a bear hug grapple, wanting to constrict her.
[15:42] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#350c#): 10 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Bear Hug!
[15:42] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R8 (IoV:#350c#): 10 - Bear Hug! against you.
[15:42] Elka Petrova rolls R7 (IoV:#7019#): 22 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - I love hugs
[15:45] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) of course flinched away from the blow she thought was coming, but he was suddenly behind her anyway. Before his arms could completely get around her she suddenly through her head back unsure if she'd connect, but if she did she hoped it would be enough to make him get him away from her, which was an odd turn from the usual. She would then turn on the ball of her foot so she was once more facing him an able to try to anticipate his moves.
[15:45] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#2ea7#): 18 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - Giving Kindo head
[15:47] Kindo rolls R6 (IoV:#6d89#): 22 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Totally going to Roll 1 on that.
[15:47] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R6 (IoV:#6d89#): 22 - Totally going to Roll 1 on that. against you.
[15:51] Kindo felt the air between their bodies grow colder when had surely expected his grappling to succeed before it did. His eye flared wide to see her body jutting back with her head careening toward his own. His massive self shrunk back to give himself room away from the incoming head butt, but also giving her room to turn around. No sooner would her twisting have ended did he come steaming toward her like a mountain of meat on wheels. His arm was curled forcing his bicep to bulge along with all of the stout muscle on his upper arm and right shoulder. He did his best thusly to toss his bodyweight into her and send her to the floor with a charge.
[15:51] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#38db#): 15 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Trust fall!
[15:51] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R8 (IoV:#38db#): 15 - Trust fall! against you.
[15:52] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#c9d6#): 28 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - Ouch.
[15:55] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) was apparently on the ball today. All that leave dodging she'd been doing lately was really working for her. Although, it wasn't so much helping her in taking him out. She anticipated his coming at her and as such just...stepped to the side to let his body weight propel him forward and maybe he'd even fall expecting her body weight to catch him. As he went passed she lifted her leg and attempted to give him a swift boot to the butt.
[15:55] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#b31e#): 11 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - Boot to the butt
[15:56] Kindo rolls R6 (IoV:#bfb6#): 18 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - On his back again? Heres to hoping not.
[15:56] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R6 (IoV:#bfb6#): 18 - On his back again? Heres to hoping not. against you.
[16:00] Kindo rolled right passed her all Wily Coyote style, charging fast enough to get out of reach of her boot before she could plant it squarely in his backside. They'd circled around each other enough at this point, and despite the fact she had landed a solid kick, Kindo kept coming. Striding back into range, Kindo got well within striking distance before he lofted up the sash of chain only to this time toss it at her face. Hoping the misdirection would prove to be diverting enough, he swung out his left leg and tossed it hard at the back of her knees to try and send her to the ground.
[16:00] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#62fb#): 9 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Kick to the back of the knees.
[16:00] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R8 (IoV:#62fb#): 9 - Kick to the back of the knees. against you.
[16:01] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#5994#): 20 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - You're so mean to me.
[16:05] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) saw the chain coming towards her face and immediately leaned back as far as she could to get away from it, the action causing her knees to bend and therefore not be where he expected and so he missed. When she straightened she launched herself at him in an attempt to tackle him and take him down to the ground. Hoping it wouldn't jar either of them too hard.
[16:05] Elka Petrova rolls R7 (IoV:#2ddb#): 17 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - Takin him down
[16:05] Kindo rolls R6 (IoV:#0d8e#): 9 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - To pound town
[16:05] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R6 (IoV:#0d8e#): 9 - To pound town against you.
[16:10] Kindo couldn't catch a break recently, and it seemed this instance was certainly no different. His kick didn't land and his bit of chain sailed to the ground more than it did toward her face. The whole attack had backfired, putting her into the perfect defensive position to launch a counter attack. She nailed and her weight coupled with his sent him directly to the ground.(-2, 1/5) On the way down he had the small foresight to bring his knees to his chest before she landed on top of him. As he crashed to the floor hard, his legs released like mighty springs in an attempt to kick her off him and send her flying.
[16:10] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#d8d7#): 16 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Do you wanna go for a ride, fam?
[16:10] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R8 (IoV:#d8d7#): 16 - Do you wanna go for a ride, fam? against you.
[16:11] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#44b6#): 25 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - D: I don't
[16:15] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) was in fact jarred quite hard as his body hit the ground and hers landed on top, but when his feet came up she twisted her torso and both of his feet pushed her backwards but not completely off of him and her arm reached for his dagger that had been stabbed into the ground. Yanking it free, she pulled herself back up, straddling his stomach and put it to his throat, "You can always give up and accept that I am a better fighter than you." The anger that had been there when they started was gone, and there was a playful grin on her face instead.
[16:21] Kindo 's legs sailed heavily through the air and found nothing lifting off them as he'd so hoped he might. She was on her A-Game today, that much was clear. He couldn't continue to go on thinking he'd best her so soundly on every battle. She seated herself on his stomach and pinned him down by his own knife and yet he didn't look like he was ready to quit. His single eye glowered at her from below her, but otherwise his expression was plain. Defiantly his right arm peeled off the floor with a sudden burst, his hand stretched out to try and grasp at her head. If he could grab her, he'd take her head and use his momentum to push her opposite cheek into the dirt.
[16:21] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#9f81#): 14 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Gotcha' nose.
[16:21] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R8 (IoV:#9f81#): 14 - Gotcha' nose.
against you.
[16:22] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#c617#): 19 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - You'll get me dirty.
[16:24] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) saw the hand coming but didn't move fast enough and while it didn't do exactly what he had meant for it to, it didn't stun her for a moment. Her hands went to her head and she shook it to clear it from the ringing he caused with the blow. Blinking a few times and trying to focus on him again she would toss the knife to the side and then attempt to get both hands on his shoulders so that she could push him back down to the ground and pin him there.
[16:24] Aóife Goldfell (lauryn.renegade) watches every attack, every reflex, every twist and turn she can see, transfixed, trying to learn anything that might help her later. As she'd predicted Elka seemed to be doing quite well against Kindo. It made her want to learn - and then she thought about the people she might genuinely have to use these skills against and cowers, returning her focus to Elka and her reflexes, since the woman had some major matrix shit going on.
[16:25] Elka Petrova rolls R7 (IoV:#2c0a#): 13 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - Pinned?
[16:25] Kindo rolls R6 (IoV:#848e#): 24 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Buuuuuuutttttt mooooooommm...
[16:25] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R6 (IoV:#848e#): 24 - Buuuuuuutttttt mooooooommm... against you.
[16:31] Kindo only barely managed to slap a hand on her cheek when she reeled back and tossed her body weight back down on his stomach and he saw the and heard the knife hit the floor several feet away. Her urgent attempt to fight him down to the ground let him know she didn't want him back up, and with good reason. Kindo's upper body was strong enough to deal with her weight on its own, after all he'd carried the woman time and time again over long enough distances to know she wasn't heavy like he was. First his entire upper half jostled itself independently, trying to shake her and cause her difficulty with staying on him. In one final burst of effort, he thrust himself up in an attempt to unseat her. His arms got between her and him, and with fists aimed at the top of her stomach he sought ot wind her if she resisted.
[16:31] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#8f6f#): 27 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Not today!
[16:31] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R8 (IoV:#8f6f#): 27 - Not today! against you.
[16:32] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#6cd4#): 10 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - So violent.
[16:35] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) was trying to keep herself firmly planted on top of him, her legs attempting to slip between the ground and his own and hook around them to help her, but out of no where he knocked the wind out of her and she sat gasping for air for quite a while. Finally she caught her breath enough to give him a glare and then throw all of her weight down on to his shoulders again to hold him down while her leg came up in an attempt to knee him in the ribs.
[16:36] Elka Petrova rolls R9 (IoV:#6fa8#): 23 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - My knee would like to meet your ribs. pls.
[16:36] Kindo rolls R6 (IoV:#d4d6#): 6 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - No! Those ribs were my mothers!
[16:36] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R6 (IoV:#d4d6#): 6 - No! Those ribs were my mothers! against you.
[16:38] Kindo didn't get very far with his momentary turn about. Even though she was winded he couldn't manage to get her off of him before she slammed her weight back down and sent a leg into his ribs for good measure. His breath left him much like hers did, though with her weight on him there wasn't much hurry for it to come back. Through his coughing and gasping, he croaked, "Aii~GHc...I yyeeeildt."
[16:41] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) grinned and lowered herself down so that her face was inches from his, "This is why I am Alpha and you're the next best thing." She lightly patted his cheek and then climbed off of him, "Any time you need a reminder or...a tussle let me know." Turning her back to him trusting there would be no further retaliation for her actions she began to walk back to her chair.
[16:47] Kindo continued to collect himself through furious attempt at gasping for air. It hurt to breathe, and surely he'd have a fairly gnarly bruise on his side to show for it before the next morning. His coughing gave way to panting, and not long after he reclaimed his breath did he retort to to Elka, "Ay...les' jes' up any fer'get about my handin' you yer' own ass, time before. Yer' not a pup. But yer' not a dog either." Slogging his way off the ground, Kindo got onto his belly and slowly ambled up to the kneeling position with his back turned to Elka.

[20:28] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) chuckled and then shook her head taking her weapon off of her back and throwing the blade to the ground just out of her reach, "I don't need my weapon to know whether or not I made a good decision with my choice and I'm not going to use my weapon because -this- time around I'm not trying to maim you." She grinned at him and then crouched slightly, her hands tugging at her skirt and lifting it just enough that her feet wouldn't get caught up in it while they fought and now she'd wait for him to come at her.
[20:38] Kindo chuffed harsh as she cast her weapon aside as she did. He didn't take the prospect of combat lightly, but what was any self-respecting Soldier without their bravado? "Perhaps there es' hope fer' ye' afterall. " Drawing out the spear-head knife from its sheath, Kindo tossed it down and lodged the blade down into the soft soil beside his foot. He'd disrobe a touch, shrugging off his vest and unbelting the duster from around his ribs. Tossing the garments down and kicking them out of the way, Kindo made a ready stance. His palms were flat and his fingers collapsed against one another to form a straight blade. Of meat, not metal of course. Twisting his stance that his side was presented to her with his left shoulder being closest. And finally he bowed his knees and lofted his heels to get a nice floating stance. Kindo strafed left, moving clockwise toward the Alpha. Once within range he'd lunge and toss both arms out in a wily strike. Mid-air his flattened hands would cup with the hope he could clap them down
[20:38] Kindo over her ears with harsh enough force to disorient her.
[20:40] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#f847#): 21 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Clap on the ears
[20:40] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R8 (IoV:#f847#): 21 - Clap on the ears against you.
[20:40] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: You have targeted Paradoxical Mode.
[20:40] Elka Petrova rolls R5 (IoV:#1c23#): 5 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) -
[20:44] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) had anticipated him coming, but definitely not the move he did, when his hands clapped over her ears she cringed and literally almost went down to her knees. Being so sensitive with hearing sometimes was quite the annoyance though she did play it up a bit more than she had to using it in an attempt to catch him off guard when she suddenly sprang towards him and went for his feet to knock him onto the ground. If it were anyone else sure, she would likely not care whether she hurt them or drew blood, but he was her personal guard. Couldn't have him walking around wounded trying to protect her now could she?
[20:44] Elka Petrova rolls R8 (IoV:#6645#): 17 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - Knock him down.
[20:45] Kindo rolls R6 (IoV:#efec#): 9 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Keep Kindo standing
[20:45] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R6 (IoV:#efec#): 9 - Keep Kindo standing against you.
[20:50] Kindo could almost hear the ringing in her ears himself as his hands buffeted her head simultaneously. If nothing else, he'd have to give her due credit for the recovery as much larger creatures had been downed readily by the loss of equilibrium it caused. Her feign for more serious injury worked just as she'd expected it would. His concern for her well-being overpowered his sense for the moment and he winded up paying for it. Kindo toppled backwards and his legs went up and wide. Chuckling proudly at her cunning, he kept his head in the game from then on. As he hit the ground, he rolled back enough to encourage some momentum to stay enough so that he could thrust his legs back toward her in a powerful mule kick seeking to plant both heels into her stomach.
[20:51] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#0bd1#): 21 against Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) - Mule kick to the stomach
[20:51] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Adylin Resident! Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) rolled R8 (IoV:#0bd1#): 21 - Mule kick to the stomach against you.
[20:52] Elka Petrova rolls R5 (IoV:#6026#): 12 against Kindo (Paradoxical Mode) - D:
[20:55] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) had been about to pounce him a bit like a cat when the wind was knocked out of her by his feet and she landed a few meters away from him on her back staring up at the stars. The ground meeting her body not helping anything as it was like a double impact. She laid there gasping for breath and trying to laugh, "I knew you were sturdy, but hell you're like running into an oak at full speed."
[21:05] Kindo 's legs hovered in air, feeling pins and needles settle into the soles of his feet from the force of the impact. He didn't relish the fact he'd gotten the better of her twice. It just further reinforced the idea he was a reasonably deft combatant. His feet slowly lowered back down to the soft dirt and after a moment he lifted himself off the ground. He approached the Alpha's side and looked her over as she recoiled. "Ay'. Oughta' ave' used yer' sword." He lowered himself down seat on the dirt beside her, laying out next to her rather than help her up. It seemed the reasonable thing to do.

[18:53] Kindo waited until Red was armed and ready before he committed to the idea he'd have to fight him. Perhaps if Kindo did somehow let his grumpiness get the better of him and he lost, he'd have to take up wearing chain hosiery. It certainly would prove to be a great deal lighter than the full suit he'd dawned for the occasion. Kindo curled his arm up into a tight form, shielding him from his elbow up to his shoulder. With preparatory stomp, Kindo rocketed off from his stationary position and made a mad charge for Red, seeking not to drive at him but straight through him using his shield and shoulder as a battering ram.
[18:54] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#e303#): 5 against Redmond Bjornson (GCade Resident) - Autobots, Roll out!
[18:56] Redmond Bjornson rolls R7 (IoV:#19e8#): 25 - electric slide away from that
[19:02] Redmond Bjornson (GCade Resident) had wondered what Kindo was going to do in initiating the fight, and of course being armored like a damn tank he charged straight for him....slowly at first but building up speed, though, still slowly enough for Red to step aside to his right at the last possible moment. As he sidestepped and leaned from Kindo's charge he flicked his sword at Kindo, attempting to tap Kindo's ass with the tip of his sword, thought it's likely he wouldn't feel it, being so armored.
[19:02] Redmond Bjornson rolls R7 (IoV:#6475#): 17 - tappin' that ass
[19:03] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#06dc#): 9 against Redmond Bjornson (GCade Resident) - No, not my butt!
[19:10] Kindo didn't leverage his options well. Charging from all the way across a room didn't work when he was a wee lad, why would it have worked now when he was challenging his own kin. Kindo sailed passed Red in a heap of rattling steel, only to have the man gouge his ass plate as he lurched to a stop. Kindo's momentum caused him to crunch low to the ground in order to halt, nullifying all the effort he'd put into that charge. Twisting around abruptly, Kindo withdrew his knife from the thin, leathery sheathe. Exerting himself for another burst of speed, he hulked his body forward into a lunge. He rushed for Red's left flank and swung his shield wielding right arm out to try and jostle the man with a fierce clap of his Kite.
[19:10] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#86c4#): 15 - Shield Slap!
[19:12] Redmond Bjornson rolls R7 (IoV:#bfbe#): 17 - no
[19:18] Redmond Bjornson (GCade Resident) had been crouched in waiting, the man he fought being his superior when it came to strength, the massive amount of armor he wore while still being able to muster as much speed as he had was a testament to his strength, he'd just need to be faster. He stepped to his right once more, this time to avoid the attack on his left rather than because it was his favored leg. He stepped back from Kindo, deftly avoiding the blow though he was doing all he could do to land avoid and land hits in an attempt to end the fight early. From where he was positioned now he brought his sword down around, hoping to feel the satisfaction of it clinging from a landed hit on Kindo's side.
[19:18] Redmond Bjornson rolls R7 (IoV:#c9f1#): 13 - please
[19:20] Kindo rolls R7 (IoV:#d5a1#): 7 - My sides!
[19:24] Kindo spent so much energy rushing and pivoting in his position that he'd failed to allot much thought into where and how to place his blows. He fought like he wanted the hit, rather than the win. His shield cleaved air in front of Redmond, allowing for the man's sword to dive right through his defenses and clash at the chain-mail on his obliques. Shifting his weight forward, his knife wielding hand rushed into the air above Red's shoulder seeking to drive the extended round handle of his blade into the man's shoulder or neckline if he could reach.
[19:24] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#9c9f#): 12 - Karate Chop!
[19:24] Redmond Bjornson rolls R7 (IoV:#c29e#): 19 - dodge
[19:32] Redmond Bjornson (GCade Resident) lifted his shielded left hand up the edge of which he intended to smash right into Kindo's heavily armed forearm hoping to at least slow his blow long enough for him to dip his exposed shoulder away from the attack. The blow landed on his shield with utter force, jarring the weaker Red upon impact, though his intended goal had succeeded in helping him duck away from the attack. Slightly to Kindo's left now he swung once more for his counterattack, his sword swinging down to Kindo's thigh, hoping with all he had that the fight would just end here, allowing him to escape unscathed.
[19:32] Redmond Bjornson rolls R7 (IoV:#3502#): 9 -
[19:33] Kindo rolls R7 (IoV:#e19a#): 17 - #yolo
[19:37] Kindo worked a bit harder, working his head into the game at the tail end of what was going to be a snowball victory for Redmond's very elegant fight. Kindo instinctively tossed his shield down low in anticipation of the next hit. His body reeled to catch the attack, and left him with only to try and conserve momentum. His body tucked low and brought his heel up in preparation for the strike. With a mighty kick he thrust his foot out toward Redmond's center of mass, hoping to send him toppling over.
[19:37] Kindo rolls R8 (IoV:#91d3#): 25 - Kick to the...whatever...
[19:37] Redmond Bjornson rolls R7 (IoV:#f9a5#): 5 - damn
[19:45] Redmond Bjornson (GCade Resident) had gotten a bit too eager, leaving himself open for a powerful heel to his gut, immediately evacuating the air from his lungs, he stumbled back from the hit, sword hand shifting inwardly while he reeled from Kindo. That one hurt. His youthful ego bruised and so his anger began to rise while did what he could to recover, though breathing wouldn't come easily to him for a few moments. Taking the initiative while Kindo still needed to recover completely he took to charge, led by his shield held towards his opponent, still with enough composure to make sure not to attempt a maiming blow. His anger led him to repeat the same attack Kindo had began with.
[19:45] Redmond Bjornson rolls R7 (IoV:#fa4b#): 10 - charge
[19:46] Kindo rolls R7 (IoV:#5924#): 9 - No plz.
[19:52] Kindo barely had enough time to catch his breath, let alone recompose himself as Red thrust himself back at Kindo with such voracity it caught him nearly by surprise. His shield was close to bare, and with a sudden tightening of his form Kindo bumped himself against Red as his charge connected, seeking to diffuse the blow. Kindo attempted to sheer the man off to the side with his defense, and followed up with a swinging knife wielding hand. He didn't try to stab the man, so much as he did try to punch around the negative space between him and the shield. Aimed roughly at his chest and left shoulder, Kindo swung for the fences.

[19:57] Redmond Bjornson (GCade Resident) hadn't expected for Kindo to simply.....stop him, though that's exactly what happened, Red's progress simply halted as he made contact with Kindo's shield, the impact jarring him and causing him to bite his tongue. He slid to the side of Kindo now, falling as the taste of blood filled his mouth from the laceration in his tongue, he watched Kindo's daggered hand come wide around his shield attempting to land against his ribs. Desperate to avoid the attack he simultaneously thrashed his shield outward to divert Kindo's blow, his knuckles narrowly avoiding impact, while swinging his sworded hand for Kindo's thigh once more.
