says to -=Cryptic Soul=-~Shy: ~Steps across the circle, 10 feet from You and shifts My feet, left leading... ball of My right foot dug into the cold hard ground... I held the spear evenly between My gloved hands, about 18" of shaft between the right and left over its center... the bladed end towards My right hand, I pointed it towards You.... the lowered left butt trailing back behind My hip.... I wore tabuk leathers and a tunic lined with panther skin... a floppy eared fur cap and worn leather boots... I had a sleen knife sheathed securely to My outter right thigh.. mop of red curls held in a rawhide, at the nape of My neck.. ~

You need height and weight, unclear -1.

You make it sound like the left hand is over the center of the spear shaft, and the right hand is 18" ahead of that. How long is the shaft, how close does that put your hand to the blade? I'm not going to deduct for it now, but later in the spar, this may cause deductions for clarity.

You point the spear at her. Where? Her eyes or her navel. It makes a difference to her in how to set her defense, and she can't, because you don't tell her. Unclear -1

Which hip is the butt near? Logically, it's the left hip, but you need to say, unclear -1

spear across my body now with the tiped end down and blunt end up towards my shoulder..still held out from my body, a sleen blade rests on my outter left thigh hilt up...nodding my head letting you know I am ready....

No weight, unclear -1. You also don't state if your palms face up or down. This will probably cost you deductions later. Plus the same shaft-length issue as your opponant.

If I understand your description, your spear is in front of your body, but you have turned your right side towards her, leading with your spear butt.

says to -=Cryptic Soul=-~Shy: seeing Your stancee, taking only a moment before.. 1) I rushed forwards with quick shuffling steps, closing the distance into range, seeing the butt of Your spear high.... 2) I thrusted the forward right point of My spear in a quick jab for Your right hip, which is presented towards Me, trying to deepen the point and hamper Your movement.... 3) I then swing the raised butted end from My left to right, keeping it at a high angle, aiming for Your right temple, atempting to knock You out and end the spar.... 4 5) I then circled towards My right, trying to come aroudn to Your left side, slicing the spear point towards My left for the back of Your left knee, trying to shave away a good amount of flesh there, make Ya bleed some.... ~

In move 1, you mean "into effective spear range". You have to say it. Unclear -1.

In move 2, now you start to pay the penalty for "pointing at you". The movement of your spear, from an unspecified starting point is just not clear. -1.

I would like to deduct you for not attacking from your left to right at her unprotected back, on the first action, but WM Rules don't really allow it. But in move 3, to get from her hip to her temple requires a counterclockwise (your view) semi-circular movement. You describe a straight line when you say "left to right." Unclear -1.

Her right side is towards you, so you are trying to go 180 degrees around her.

4 points

You move your leg so she doesn't hit her intended target, she hits the inside of your left thigh instead. You don't take a wound, unrealistic -1. This is possibly a fatal wound to the femoral artery, and you are disabled. Everything you do from here is unrealistic. You lose.
