[Kray]

Kray is about to offer some advice when Vincent nails exactly what he was about to say. 'Yeah. That. In a fight you will get hit. Accept that. When I throw a punch I don't give any mind to dodging whatever the other guy is doing I just try to put my fist through their torso or get my arms round them, I'll show you that in a bit.' He ponders, never having taught before. 'If you lay them out before they can hurt you, then you don't need to worry.' Better them then you after all.

Okay then. He nods to Vincent. 'Right then.' He flexes and stretches a little to loosen his joints, trunk like arms threatening to tear free, obese gut and broad chest pulling his shirt tight. 'Sarah watch us go at it for a swing each see if you can spot what I mean.' Flint pupils in sickly yellow eyes lock to Vincent, a gaze that oozes menace, psyching himself up to do harm. 'You come at me then I'll return one.' Its just sparing.

[Seraphina]

Hearing the mention of getting hurt, she looks to both of them, “If you guys spar and someone gets hurt, I can take care of it. If it’s severe, I’ll just need to pop into the Tavern to apply more intense healing, but I can pretty much heal anything and fix broken bones. Knocking on death’s door? I got you.” and she was very serious about what she was saying. Translucent hands were held up and fingers wiggle, one of the benefits of being a Spring and an Oneirophysic.

“I’m also not afraid to get hurt, I’ve left boxing with black eyes and fat lips.” That wasn’t her issue, Lost were a different thing to spar with. And her issues were a personal one, with a weird mixture of fear and happiness as it had brought her and Rhodes closer.

Nodding, she steps off to the side, reaching into her bag and pulling waters out, setting them down for the guys.

[Vincent Black]

Vincent stretches a bit, cracking his knuckles as he gets ready to attack. Knowing he cannot go full out because his claws could severely injure Kray he decides to use punches instead.

Vincent approaches Kray and immediately throws a quick combination of punches and kicks.

[Kray]

Had kray underestimated Vincent after seeing the display with the bag. Yes, yes he had. And the Hunterheart lands a decent set of blows to the Gristlegrinder. Who leans into it taking each and every one as he closes the space so it would be impossible to dodge the combination before he retaliates with a single punch of his own trying to knock the air from the Beasts lungs, by burying his first through Vincent's torso and following through with the momentum gained by closing the gap.

2024-02-19 12:17:44	Kray rolls 12 to punch Vincent (str4+brawl4+all out attack 4 (1st and 2nd brute force style abilities)) (10 Again)	2, 7, 6, 2, 4, 4, 8, 9, 7, 3, 7, 9	3 successes

Body blow: Your character can deliver powerful blows that leave opponents reeling and gasping for air. If successes inflicted in a single Brawl attack equal or exceed the greater of the target's Size or stamina, the victim loses his next action. Note: Body Blow is Passive and can combine with other Fighting Style Manoeuvres.

AND.

Juggernaut: The character uses his entire body as a weapon. He barrels forward, smashing his head into his opponent and throwing the rest of his weight into the attack. This is an “all-out attack” per p. 157 of the World of Darkness Rulebook. The character foregoes his Defense, but gains a +4 bonus to the roll as opposed to the normal +2 bonus. Normal all-out attack rules apply.

'You move a lot better against a living target.' Kray knew how to fight well enough to recognise a well placed attack. Anyone else watching would have seen he could dodged the worst of it if he had chosen to move differently. 'Nice footwork.' That went better then it could have, no serious injuries.

'Sarah, you see what I meant?' He hadn't just accepted he would hit he embraced it to land a blow of his own. 'Follow through with everything you got. Don't punch from a stationary position, move through your target..' If not, we go again. 'Now you try.' A side nod to the bag.

'You good Vincent?' The blow Kray landed had been glancing at best but worth checking.

[Seraphina]

Either they hadn’t heard her, or they didn’t care. But, they would care if one of them got severely hurt, so maybe time would tell.

Sapphires watch the punches being thrown, noting how each of them throw differently, but still landed a blow.

Interesting.

And she was glad she wasn’t on the receiving end of either. At least, not yet, that would come with time. She knew she could keep fighting when hurt, the battle against the Briarwolves showed that.

Nodding to Kray, “Ok.” And walks over to the hanging bag, taking up a stance and throwing a punch into it. She tries to focus her strength beyond the bag, imagining herself punching through it. And while it wasn’t as strong as Vincent or Kray, it was better then her first try, and that felt great!

[Vincent Black]

Vincent shrugged off the blows, they hurt, but not as much as he knew they could.

"Yeah, I am okay, it is not everyday I get punched by a Troll."

Vincent turns to Seraphina, "I hope you can heal us, I am sure after that last hit I may need some of your TLC." Vincent finished with a wink.

He then watched closely as she hit the bag, "That is pretty good. Kray do you want to keep sparring or do you want to show Seraphina more tactics. I can show her some dodging. What do you think, Sera?"

[Kray]

Kray seems content to just rub the sore spots and walk them off. 'Yeah. That was much better.' But it looks to me like she's still holding back. 'But I think you can do more.' Kray moves to stand behind the bag. 'Try to hit me in the spine through the bag.' Maybe having a target will help. 'Go all out.' He looms behind the makeshift apparatus. 'Commit all the way into the punch.' She would need to if she had any hope of reaching her target with a lot of bag and Ogre between her and it.

He nods to Vincent. 'I want to see if this works, then we can go again. I can show you why hugging me is a bad idea.' The punches were good. But there's more then one way to win a fight, and this method is safer.

[Seraphina]

Chuckling, “Not everyday you get punched by a Troll and survive.” She adds to what Vincent says with humor. She had no doubt Kray could have done some serious, life threatening damage to Vincent.

“If I can’t heal you guys, then I failed my Order and my Court.” Sure, she had been late embracing the healing powers of Spring, but she was there now. With an Entitlement to back them up.

“It was good? Thanks!” praise was always good. “Uhh, I’m ok with whatever.” Her plan had been learn to throw a good, solid punch. What happened after that was still up in the air.

Can do more? Sure, she thinks she can do more, and wants to do more, but she lacked strength and power.

But, she squares up again to take another shot at the bag, but this one felt weaker then before.

“Think I need to start lifting weights.” It couldn’t hurt, well, so long as she didn’t pack on any muscle. That just would not look ok on her. But she was squaring up, ready to keep throwing punches.

Eyebrow arches at his words, “Why hugging you is a bad idea?” then looking to Vincent, “Now I’m curious.” not that she was about to run up and hug the guy, though sometimes he looked like he needed a hug, but still.

[Vincent Black]

Vincent laughs at the hug comment. "Yeah I am not so 'friendly' normally, but it was the Solstice. The season between seasons seems to do more to me. And so I had started celebrating a little early that night."

"You will find I am more lethal than I seem, I mean I am not using my claws to fight, if I did Seraphina would have a lot more wounds to worry about. But now we just will have some bruises she could care for."

[Kray]

Kray rotates his shoulders some, keep blood flowing. 'Ha. Not Everyday I punch someone and they stay standing.' Vincent had to be tough to boast that.

Oh interesting. 'Not met to many with orders yet.' he would ask about that later, not what today was about. 'Can you regrow lost limbs?' If so Vincent was in way less danger then Kray thought he was.

Kray elaborates. 'Ah. First time meeting a Gristle grinder new into town and what does he do? throw himself right into the most dangerous place he could be.' Good thing I'm not the worst of my kith.

Kray shakes his head after all he didn't do weight training. 'No. not weights. Its not just about bulk but using what you have.' Sure he had bulk and used it, but anyone could do it. 'Maybe something more athletic would suit you better.' It might be an easier way to train. 'Nothing to intense just regular.' If she wanted to hit hard she will need to find some strength from somewhere. I guess there is always that ... to be considered later.


Kray notes the bag moving less vigorously after the latest punch. Hm, well she must be easily less then half my weight maybe it don't work as well for her? or maybe its practice? 'We can come back to that. There's something I can show you, that is great for keeping safe.' He nods to Vincent. 'I don't doubt your claws are nasty.' I'd be bleeding for sure if you used them last time. 'But there's plenty I'm not using either.' But he won't elaborate just yet. 'If you ready for round two. Your move.' Kray takes a different stance legs apart, arms spread wide almost like a net.
