Sparring

I house sat Norm's two still at home boys while he and Justine went to Vegas.  Nicolas 11 (Lethial) and Matthew 16 (Max).  Great kids.  Anyway, they decided to do a bit of sparring in the finished basement.  Nick alternated between staff and sword while Matt used florentine with dagger and sword.  To make it last a bit, they each took 50 skills.   I'm not exactly certainhow they determined Body, but they were happy with what they each had and were constantly tweaking their set ups, often in response to what had just been played.  Sort of like a sealed deck tournament.  Though a solid foot shorter, Nick gave as good as he got.  He has a mind for interesting combinations of skills, but more importantly realized that his lack of height was an advantage in that he could swing overhead while Matthew could not.

Watch out in two and a half years, Travance.

CJ "the space barbarian" is the same way. He's viscious with a spear or a staff. Toe poking barbarian of doom. John and Steve O can attest to how good he can be.
