    Behavior

    Goes by Jack.

    Educated, scholarly, lawyer, scientist.
    Jack's outward demeanor and tone are a baseline of respectful and calculated.

    He actively debates, persuades, negotiates and even at time tries to intimidate, as core skills of any lawyer worth his salt.

    Raul Jennifer Hazelton please roll for initiative.

    Storyteller approval has been given to open this scene to run parallel to the unarmed combat scene. It will also remain open until resolution where it will enter continuity as of 6/1/23.


    The stage had mannequins dressed in what you'd expect to see of competition fencers. There were several blades, blunted and dulled to choose from but the Lord lifted two Foils from the display to offer to each competitor.

    "You may choose to wear the uniform if you wish. The mechanics of such an item are more for mortal precision in scoring- something I do not believe we'll have an issue in judging."

    He indicates to a metallic circular pin about two inches in diameter that can be found on each of the outfits, "What is required is that you at least wear this on the left side of your chest."

    "The rules are simple. Only successful jabs to the torso area will score a point. If you are successful in targeting the button of your opponent you will instead score two points. The first individual to five points will be declared the winner." He looked to each individual for any questions they might have.


    Aside from normal combat rules, fencing invokes penalties as described on pg 165 of the core book for 'Specified Targets'. -1 for the torso and -5 for the double point button. The damage rating on the foils are 2 dots for the purposes of dice pools, but will not cause damage as they are blunted.

    Jennifer listened to the instructions closely. The Nosferatu approached the outfit and removed the pin. she took a moment to affix the pin. Having accepted the fencing foil from Priscus Jack, Jennifer stepped into the area marked off for the contest. She waited patiently for Raúl to affix his pin and face her.
    Once her opponent was in the proper position, she lunged out with the foil. She focussed only on hitting Raúl's torso.

    Raúl listens to the Lord's instructions as well, nodding in agreement. He lifts the pin off of the mannequin and then settles it into his shirt. He lifts the fencing foil up and looks at the blunted tip and nods before he moves over to the marked off area. He lifts his foil up to Jennifer in a salute before taking a small half step back, moving into a standard fencing position.

    When Jennifer darts towards him, it's a bit of a surprise. The strike doesn't hurt, not really, but it's still a bit jarring with how firm of a smack it was, scoring the Haunt her first point. He grunts and returns the strike, aiming for her torso as well and scoring his first point.

    Jennifer gave a small nod to Raúl when Raúl scored his point. Although she felt a prickle of... irritation? She had not expected to win the contests. Yet here in the moment she found that she did want to do well. Jennifer decided to be more adventurous and aimed her foil at the pin that was worth two points.

    Jennifer applied considerable will to achieving the point.

    Raúl grunts slightly as Jennifer's foil jabs at the pin in his chest and he steps back slightly. He nods to acknowledge the strike, but wastes no other time as he jabs back, aiming for the Haunt's pin and connecting as well, exerting some of his own formidable will to do so.

    The score is now an even 3 to 3. Two more normal hits or one more pin strike from either of them will end the bout.

    Jennifer took a moment to evaluate herself. She decided that winning this match was not essential. Jennifer concentrated and lunged, aiming only to hit Raul's torso. A more practical approach.

    Raúl gives a nod to Jennifer when she aims at his torso. There's the briefest moments of consideration that flashes through his brain but the Savage wants to end this quickly. Focusing his will, he makes a jab towards the pin on his opponent and misses. There's a blink of surprise and then he's trying to dodge her next strike.

    Raúl will be preemptively Dodge during the next round, forgoing his action. Defense is 4 for the next round.

    Jennifer was a bit surprised at Raúl's error. Jennifer lunged forward, aiming for Raúl's torso. Yet Raúl managed to avoid her foil.

    failure

    A beat passes as she gives Raúl a short nod of commisseration.
