     Hand still smarting and bleeding a little I lunge after Experience in a flechette, driving the sword with all my weight and momentum from the leap into his upper back (assuming it hits and he's not wearing armor). I land on my side hard, knocking the wind from myself. I struggle to stand up and get back into a guard.

hit, 2 damage

Exerience feels the sword of his attacker connect, and falls to the ground connecting(I'm gonna assume that did some damage at least.) He gets up quickly, realizing that he can't run from the fight. His opponent is on the ground so Experience jumps on top of them, his side throbbing, and stabs at the back of their neck aiming for the spine. 

@Doomstick @Elend Venture

miss, as the dodge in the next post would be counted under parry rules, and there was a 5 to hit and a 13 to dodge

[Experience he/him]

Experience's first swing misses, and so he tries again, stabbing at their back.

Eric selects a pear and bites into it, juice running down his chin. "This is better than in District 3," he says.

"Can you guys hear that? It sounds like fighting, do you want to go check it out?"

"Maybe we should," Eric says. "See who gets the first kill. I normally try and save as many people as I can, but this is the Hunger Games. Everyone's going to die anyway."

 "Not to be bloodthirsty but, maybe we should take out whoever wins the fight, what do you think?

Eric follows. "I think we should bring supplies and stuff, just in case." He picks up a backpack.

"Should I guard base? We don't want to lose it to anybody."

[Vapor she/her]

"Good idea. Call if someone comes."

[Wind he/him]

Wind sees the experience and elend venture fighting, Bandai s his bow at them, just to be safe. "Eric, should we attack?"

"We should wait till they stop fighting."

[Wind he/him]

Wind nods but still keeps his bow trained on the two ."You can never be too careful" Wind mutters.

The sun approaches its zenith

Eric holds his sword up. "Be quiet, we don't want them to notice us."

[Elend Venture he/him]

     I fall back, circling my opponent. I catch the glint of a raised sword about two hundred meters off out of the corner of my eye. "You know," I say quietly. "There appears to be more people coming this way. They're in a pack, working together. If one of us falls they will probably kill the other; It seems that to continue fighting would be to commit ourselves to mutual destruction." With that I step forward with an upward sweeping diagonal cut at my enemy's sword arm from right to left, followed by a Zwerchhau to his head (count as one attack). In my mind I try to decide whether to immediately flee or attempt to create a shaky alliance with Experience and still hopefully have the time to escape.

Experience is ready for the attack this time and hastily backs away. "If you want to have any chance of an alliance, I suggest you stop attacking me so we can talk."

@Elend Venture @Doomstick

[Elend Venture he/him]

     "You realize that if we stop fighting they'll probably just try to shoot us from there if they have bows; and I'm guessing that they do, I saw a few at the cornucipia. Then again, most archers would be hard pressed to make an accurate shot on a moving target at this range." I say, falling into a more defensive guard.
