Tiberius stared across the ring, again, and hefted his hand and a half sword. They approached, and circled, and the two began to strike, parry, and feint. It quickly became clear to Tiberius that Cratchet was using the same strategy he was. The duel went on, neither man gaining ground on the other. Tiberius was getting tired, and knew if he continued the younger man would wear him down. He blocked and pretended to be knocked slightly off balance, and he saw his foe's blade strike, and he knew where it would land. Tiberius moved into the blade, intercepting it with his thigh. Tiberius twisted and fell, wrenching the blade from Cratchet's hand, and then he swung his sword, one handed, with every last ounce of strength he had. He felt the sword sever flesh, tendon and sinew, and watched Cratchet's head roll across the ground. He sighed. It was done. He wrenched the sword from his leg, and bleeding, he walked over and picked up the head before heading back towards his retinue to have the healers attend to him.
Not quite. You would not have been allowed to collect a Kabrinskian head. On the battlefield there would be no way to control that, but in a duel in front of many many witnesses that would never have happened.
If you want, RP breaking into the hospital or doing some grave robbing.
Tiberius glared at the crowd around him and the guards demanding the head returned. Tiberius tossed the head and watched it roll. Later that evening, still bandaged, he stole the head out of the temple. Old Himoura custom demanded he claim the head of the one who started a blood feud, and he would obey the rite, lest the council grow angry.
What is Tiberius' swordfighting skill % now? 80? lol
