Bahr 0 Posted December 3, 2019 Author #21 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Time for the next trade. Bahr knew that Burlock would be expecting a dodge, just like before. But would he be expecting a parry? It was time to find out. As Burlock closed in, Bahr planted the tip of Dracbane into the deck and shoulder checked it at the exact moment Burlock's sword made contact, the resulting twang! causing the cutlass to bounce away effortlessly and leave the mob wide open for a counterattack. Bahr stepped in front of his planted sword and reach his hands up and over the top of his head, grasping the hilt and slamming the sword forward. It caught Burlock in the shoulder and powderized his collarbone, causing him to yelp out in pain and double back clumsily, finding his foot in a bucket. Bahr waiting patiently as the man kicked the bucket away and righted himself. He was the sort to take advantage of the blunders of ordinary mobs, but Burlock felt like more than that. A worthy adversary. And to take the cheap shot for the win wouldn't be satisfying for anybody.

Bahr 0 Posted December 3, 2019 Author #22 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Bahr was doing well. A few more good hits and he would have the battle won. But as Burlock closed in yet again, Bahr realized that he was out of clever gimmicks to catch the surly sailor off guard with - save for one. It was the riskiest one he knew, but it usually offered the biggest payoff. As the cutlass gleamed through the air toward Bahr's neck, he raised his hand and caught the blade mid slice, preventing it from landing what would have surely been a critical hit. Burlock's eyes widened as he realized he was trapped, and a fraction of a second later would feel Bahr's massive blade buried in his stomach. Vampiric Offense managed to recover most of the health that had been lost catching the blade, while Burlock suffered so much more. And to top it off, Bleed had finally activated, too. It was cathartic to give the captain a taste of his own medicine.

Bahr 0 Posted December 3, 2019 Author #23 Share Posted December 3, 2019 As Burlock stumbled backward, Bahr could see in his eyes that he knew the battle was over. He clung to a sliver of health, whereas Bahr had managed to keep himself in the green the entire time. Even if Burlock was the most challenging foe that Bahr had faced in quite some time, it didn't make him a reasonable match. Bahr had figured as much midway through the battle. "If you had kept up your momentum, you would have had me. What happened?" Bahr inquired honestly, looking down on the man as he plopped down onto the stairs to rest. "I'd never encountered a style quite like yours," Burlock admitted with a somber grin. "I see." Bahr's fighting style wasn't anything a Frontliner wouldn't be able to see through easily. As surprised as Bahr had been by Burlock's prowess, it seemed the mob left a lot to be desired in the end. But he was certainly good enough to kill. How many lives had he claimed so far? "You ready?" "Aye." Splick!
