* Vinjince steps backward and then slices at you. You barely block with a massive round shield bordered with images of dancing Risen clasping hands. The sword lands a heavy strike that collapses the ribcage and bursts the diaphragm in a messy splattering of bloody pink froth.

...wait 1 seconds.

* Vinjince sweeps a polished black sword at you. You barely block with a massive round shield bordered with images of dancing Risen clasping hands. The sword lands an extremely heavy hit that rips the left leg from the hip socket, making a wet popping sound.

< You slice a giant war mallet with a forge-welded head at Vinjince. Vinjince knocks aside most of the mallet with a polished black sword.

Grim laughter trails from Vinjince's lips as he falls into Urrem'tier's embrace.
< You chop a giant war mallet with a forge-welded head at Vinjince. Vinjince slaps away little of the mallet with a polished black sword. The mallet suddenly cries out "Justice!" as it flares white hot and lands an apocalyptic strike (So that's what it felt like when Grazhir shattered!) that rips through muscle and organs, cutting the foe cleanly in half.

You see Battle Hawk Vinjince Rexem'lor of Elanthia, a Prydaen.
Vinjince has pointed ears and cat-slitted gold eyes. His black mane is very long and straight, and is worn loose. He has black fur, a long tail and an athletic build.
He is tall for a Prydaen.
He is young for a Prydaen.
He has a tattoo of a golden hawk with its wings spread wide on his back.
He appears to be unconscious! Other than that...
He has a severely swollen and deeply bruised left hand with odd protrusions under the skin compounded by an ugly stump for a left hand, a severely bloated and discolored abdomen with strange round lumps under the skin compounded by an abdomen deeply gouged with gaping wounds.
He is bleeding with discoloration in the left hand, very badly from the left hand, with widespread discoloration and rigidity in the abdomen and severely from the abdomen.
'I had an ugly stump for a left leg and a shattered chest. Without courage I would have gone down. This was our second fight... the first he axed me and hacked me to death. Brutal competitor. I salute you sir.(I didnt have the first fight recorded. I woulda liked to have had it.)
