The bay Kiger Mustang stallion trotted swiftly into the battle grounds, head held high. Breaker still couldn't believe how the stallion had acted in a territory that wasn't even his own with the lead of it right in front of him. Snorting angrily, he thought of some conditions.

Not being the type to demand a lot or to be evil about it, he only chose basic demands like he gets the land and no one who knows the stallion or the stallion himself is able to set foot in Wide Straight. Stuff like that. Prancing lightly into the deeper parts of the battle grounds, he chose a nice little sandy clearing. He pawed the ground with impatience.

The other stallion, standing well above Breaker’s 15.1 light bay Kiger Mustang self, would be hard to beat, Breaker knew. Fighting the urge not to pace, Breaker knew he had to save his energy. Shaking his head, he tried to stop being impatient and focus on what move he would do first, and what defenses he would have. Looking around and pricking his ears for any sign of the other stallion, Breaker awaited his arrival.

The painted buckskin Quarter horse stallion slowly trotted into the battle grounds, taking his time thinking about his opposition. Pilot slowed to a walk as he broke into the clearing. It was not very big but good enough for Pilot. Pilot assessed the situation, the other stallion was prancing around in what seemed like anger but pilot could not ever be sure with emotional stallions. Though he had admitted to himself that the way he had entered the opposing stallions territory had been rude, but that was now in the past and there was nothing he could do about it. Standing at 15.3 he was not too much taller than the opposing stallion who he had heard was named Breaker, but he was covered in thick muscle and sinew. Pilot had an advantage in the brawn department, but he was not one to place bets so he did not put his money down on any particular skill or physical characteristic.

Seeing that the stallion at the other end was getting impatient Pilot call out to him in greeting. "I have heard most call you breaker, It is a pleasure to meet you and I am sorry we had to meet her and in this way. Most horses just call me Pilot." In the past Pilot would have not bothered with manners or at least not in battle anyway. "My terms are these. If I win you must never challenge me for Wide Straight ever again, not you nor any of your kin by blood or by oath. You must never set foot in wide straight ever again, this also applies to your sons, daughters and grandsons and granddaughters. No one must challenge me that you know or have known. All of your mares will stay in Wide Straight as they currently are, and will belong to me. No stallion you may have asked to challenge me may do so for this territory. Those are my terms, now please state yours."

The bay stallion watched as finally the other brute showed up. Swiveling his ears, he listened as the other stated his terms, his blood running cold when he said that he would keep any mares on the land if he were to win. Dipping his head as the stallion invited him to state his conditions, he began.

Greetings, Pilot. My terms are that no horse that has ever heard your name, has seen you, or has even a drop of your blood in them is allowed to set foot in Wide Straight without my O.K. I keep my mare, and you are not even allowed to look in her direction ever. I get any mares you have currently, and I may do with them as I please. These are my terms, and you must follow them if I win.

Not one to be cocky, he started his first attack.

Attack 1 of 2

Flattening his ears, Breaker charged. Waiting until he was only a little past the other’s head, he reared up and twisted his back, aiming for a mouthful of hair from the other’s mane. Adrenaline pumped through him so he could not tell if he had gotten the other stallion’s mane in his mouth, but hoped so.

Trying to use mane as a handle, He started flailing his front hooves and trying to batter the brute’s back. Feeling that his hooves were hitting something, he hoped he had hit his mark, and that his hooves would do a lot of damage to the stallion’s back. Once he was done, he tried to slide the sharp part of his right fore down the side of the stallion while he slid down to all fours, and he let go of whatever was in his mouth. Looking down, he hoped to see the other’s blood on his hooves. But you never know. Something could have gone wrong…

Pilot listened to his terms, which seemed fair enough to the more experience Stallion. Pilot watched the other stallion steadily as Breaker charged towards him, preparing himself for the first attack.


Defense 1 of 2:
The smaller stallion charged towards him, but pilot remained steady as ever waiting for the attack. As the other stallion reared up reaching for his mane, Pilot side stepped out of the way of the stallions chomping teeth but did not manage to escape Breakers flailing hooves, which put a decent sized gash on his barrel. As the stallion slid back down on to all fours Pilot attacked him.


Attack 1 of 2:
Pilot attacked him before the other stallion could regroup for another attack or so Pilot hoped. Bringing his hind legs underneath him, calling on his stocky quarter horse heritage, he lunged straight for the other stallions shoulder. His squared chest hit some substance though he was not sure if it was the other stallion, and he lashed out with teeth barred and snapping hoping to get some part of his under belly in the process.

Defense1 of 2

So the painted stallion had caught him off guard. So what. At least Breaker had had just enough time to turn quickly to the stallion so that his neck and chest were hitting the other’s chest instead of his belly, so he didn’t fall down, though he rocked a little from the impact. However, Breaker wasn’t quick enough to stop the upper side of his belly from being slashed open by the other stallion’s needle-like teeth. When the stallion was done, he looked himself over to asses the damage.

Damage1

As Breaker looked himself over, he noticed he felt some bruises on his neck and chest where the paint had slammed into him. They felt as if they were turning somewhat black and blue, but did not hurt too much. But when the adrenaline started to fade, he felt a stinging sensation on his belly where Pilot had bitten him. Actually, “bitten” was an understatement. Breaker’s skin was slashed open, and blood oozed out everywhere, staining his brown hair, and the sand beneath it. Some tissue-like substance was visible in the gash, and the whole thing was a bloody mess. It was deep, but not very wide. Hopefully, it would not cause too much of a problem in the near future…

Attack 2 of 2

Tossing his head, Breaker trotted forward. He waited until he was about two or three feet away, and then launched forward, stretching out his neck and opening his mouth, the gash on his barrel slowing him down a bit. Slamming into something, Breaker sank his teeth onto what he hoped was the soft flesh right above Pilot’s nostrils. The bay stallion tugged and twisted, hoping to make a gash on Pilot’s nose that hurt about as much as Breaker’s open wound. For his final act, the Kiger Mustang turned his head upside down, hoping to drag Pilot’s head with him. Mustering up all his strength, Breaker gave one last mighty tug and released the stallion’s nose and scrambled backwards, spitting one blood and what he hoped was some of the stallion’s nose, getting ready for Pilot’s last attack.

ooc;;soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry 4 the wait! it wont happen again, no matter what i do!

Defense 2 of 2:
Pilot watched the other stallion. panting slightly. Pilot guessed all these years where finally catching up the old stallion. Watching the other stallion approach he retreated not letting the other stallion too close. When the smaller stallion lashed out Pilot raised his head and instead of the stallions teeth chomping into his nose Breakers teeth caught his jaw.


Attack 2 of 2:
As the Smaller stallion lunged towards his face Pilot backed up and raised his head as to avoid the painful bite that the opposing stallion would have inflicted on his vulnerable nose. Instead the stallion sank his teeth in to his lower jaw. As the other stallion flipped his head around upside down, Pilot broke free of the other stallions teeth, he lunged straight for the throat that was now exposed. Sinking his teeth in to what he hoped was flesh, Pilot twisted his head around yanked with all his strength. Feeling something in his mouth he spit out blood as he backed away from the other stallion, who he hoped was badly injured from his attempted bite to the throat.


Damage 2 of 2:
Pilot was now tasting not only the other stallions blood, but his own as well. The bite to the jaw was deep and almost went through Pilots mouth. Blood dripping from his face Pilot assessed him self once again. The gash on his barrel was fairly shallow and not very wide but the length of it was a scar he would be proud of. Stretching from right below the spine to the middle of his barrel, the blood oozing out was staining his buckskin painted coat a blood red color. He backed up awaiting the verdict.

Defense 2 of 2

Breaker was caught again off guard as Pilot used the bay’s own attack to help his. Breaker wasn’t quick enough to avoid Pilot’s snapping jaws, but he was only just lucky enough to sink down a little farther so that the paint’s teeth avoided the jugular and sank into the think chunk of meat a few inches away from the life threatening vein. Breaker held strong as Pilot twisted his head, but a squeal escaped him as Pilot yanked backwards and released. Backing up a few steps, Breaker assessed the damage.

Damage 2

The gash in Breaker’s side was still bleeding heavily, and was staining his bracken colored coat. There was a small chuck missing from his neck, and blood was gushing out onto the tan sand below. Breaker was finding it difficult to breath, and what breaths he did draw in were shallow, but Pilot had missed the jugular, so it wasn’t life threatening. His chest hurt somewhat from when the paint had slammed into him, and his heart was beating fast. Knowing he would definitely have scars from this battle, and so would Pilot, Breaker awaited the results anxiously.

THE GREATEST.

First Attacks

• PS / Breaker
Comments: Overall, I really liked this post. It left plenty of openings for damage, but didn’t powerplay anything. There were a lot of attacks going on though and, while I admire you leaving the damage done for Ghost to decide, the one thing I’m going to be nitpicky on is (and while it would technically be roleplaying) I would think that Breaker would know if he got a mouthful of hair. But kudos to you for not taking that root!
Originality: 3/5
Damage Done: 2/5
Realism: 3/5
Total: 8/15


• Ghost / Pilot
Comments: There was a bit of a powerplay sense to your opening sentence, not giving Breaker a chance to settle, but you cleared it up at the end so I won’t deduct anything for it. Just be careful putting actions to horses that you aren’t playing. The rest of your post kind of confused me a little bit. If Pilot was lunging for Breaker’s shoulder, why is he lashing out at Breaker’s stomach at the end and instead hitting Breaker with his chest? It just seemed a bit confusing and not consistent to me.
Originality: 2/5
Damage Done: 1/5
Realism: 4/5
Total: 7/15


________________________________________________________________________
First Defenses

• PS / Breaker
Comments: So you let Breaker be off guard for the attack. Nice touch. Very realistic that he would only have enough time to turn and face Pilot rather than attempt to protect himself. The way you described the gash he received was actually much worse than what I was picturing. lol.
Originality: 3/5
Damage Taken: 3/5
Realism: 4/5
Total: 10/15


• Ghost / Pilot
Comments: Pilot took some damage. Me likey. The only thing I have to comment on is that it would appear to be very hard for Pilot just to be hit by Breaker’s hooves and not anything else. “Waiting until he was only a little past the other’s head”, I took this as Breaker was now at Pilot’s side. But I could very well have interpreted it wrong. However, PS did write that he was reared so it would be nearly impossible (at least the way I’m picturing in my head anyway) for Pilot to be able to sidestep and just be hit by his hooves on his chest. Regardless, the hit was pretty decent.
Originality: 2/5
Damage Taken: 2/5
Realism: 2/5
Total: 6/15


________________________________________________________________________
Second Attacks

• PS / Breaker
Comments: And you let his damage affect his next attack. Very nicely done. I like the hoping that he hit something part, but watch for some powerplaying and consistency here. One second you have written that he doesn’t know if he has Pilot’s nose within his grasp but then at the end nothing would make sense if he didn’t have a part of Pilot in his teeth (and you also have written that he does, in fact, have some sort of hold on his nose: “Breaker gave one last mighty tug and released the stallion’s nose”). Turning his head upside down and aiming for Pilot’s nose instead of the neck of shoulder was a nice touch to originality, though I’m not entirely sure how realistic it would be.
Originality: 4/5
Damage Done: 2/5
Realism: 3/5
Total: 9/15


• Ghost / Pilot
Comments: I liked this attack very much, very realistic. Not much more I can say.
Originality: 3/5
Damage Done: 4/5
Realism: 4/5
Total: 11/15


________________________________________________________________________
Second Defenses

• PS / Breaker
Comments: Breaker definitely took a beating from that last attack. I really enjoyed that even though it missed the jugular, which I don’t blame you for, it still did plenty of damage. Not much else to say here.
Originality: 2/5
Damage Taken: 4/5
Realism: 3/5
Total: 9/15


• Ghost / Pilot
Comments: I liked that, while you didn’t allow Breaker to hit precisely where he wanted to, where he ended up hitting made perfect sense. In that short period of time, Pilot would have an opportunity to raise his head, but not enough to completely avoid the attack.
Originality: 2/5
Damage Taken: 3/5
Realism: 3/5
Total: 8/15

R E S U L T S

• PS / Breaker
Overall Comments: Very nice battle style. You let your horse take some pretty nasty hits, and dealt some pretty decent ones. Some more descriptions would make it a more interesting read, like cries of pain or how the land around you is and maybe how it reacts to some of the attacks; maybe all the stomping around kicks up some dust, or its becoming muddy from sweat and blood, if you catch my drift.
Grammar / Punctuation / Spelling : 5/5
Grand Total: 41/65


• Ghost / Pilot
Overall Comments: Your second attack really impressed me. Other than that, no offense, but everything seemed kind of humdrum to me. But the same thing goes to you with description, I believe you can never have too much of it!
Grammar / Punctuation / Spelling : 5/5
Grand Total: 37/65



The victor is: Breaker
This battle was really close you guys, only 4 point difference!
Congrats to Breaker and PS!
Good try Ghost and Pilot!
