http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... agment.jpg
3. Gauntlets-Again, light pieces of leather with steel plating on the edges of the fingers, the finger tips, and the knuckles to allow protection against blades. The plating on the knuckles allows Erus to punch harder.

Weapons:
1. Sabre-Medeival styed sabres, this blade is composed of steel and is 30 inches in legnth. The hilt is 11 inches, allowing it to be comfortably wielded with one hand. This blade is kept in a scabbard on Erus' left hip, allowing it to be drawn with his right hand.

2. Longsword-A longsword that is also composed of steel, with a 38 inch blade sharpened at both sides. The hilt is 15 inches, allowing room for both hands to wield it. It can be wielded in one hand however, Erus' will not be able to manipulate the blade nearly as well. The blade is kept in a scabbard on Erus' back that is protruding over the right shoulder, allowing his left arm to reach across his body and grasp the hilt, or his right hand to reach straight back and grasp the hilt.

3.Shield-A shield that is composed of wood with a steel facing, adorned with brass on the edges. It is 25 inches tall and 18 inches across. Across the back are two straps that Erus sticks his left arm through and holds it that way. It's pretty sturdy and can suffer quite a lot of damage.

Hook hopped over the wall, landing lightly on the balls of his feet, the weight of his armour and weapons proving little hinderance. Sizing up his opponent, Hook drew his broadsword, the sharpened blade rasping from the sheath. He shook out the muscles in his neck, adjusting the buckler strapped across his left wrist. The walls of the garden would hem the combatents in, keeping them at resonabley close range, something the archer was no stranger too. The sun streamed in over the wall, thankfully to Hook's back, giving him a slight visibility advantage from this position. He took half-a-dozen steps forward, dropping his right shoulder, keeping the broadsword low for swift chops at the knees and thrusts at the joint between the brigandine and the waist. He kept his left arm, with the buckler close to the sword grip, to protect his vulnerable sword arm from damage.

OoC: First off, I haven't introed yet, so my character isn't "there", so ya can't size me up. Keep that in mind next time.
~Erus was standing there, about 20 feet away from Hook. Dressed in his light armor which included a chest piece, shoulder piece, and gauntlets, he was fully equipped to endure combat. Armed a medieval styled sabre sheathed at his left hip, a longsword slung over his back, and a shield that was strapped to his left arm, Erus was ready to go.~
~The fighter smirked, observing his opponent's advances. The way that he was crouched to the ground, readying himself to either swing low or fake that advantage and strike high, he was clearly eager to fight. This most likely indicated this his opponent was inexperience,d one never would give away so much information in their body language in a simple walk prior to an engagement.~
~His opponent's eagerness also indicated that he was focused, perhaps too focused, and clearly nervous. He wouldn't have to prepare his stance in such advance unless he needed to coax himself into a state of mind in which he was superior. A state of mind that was clearly false.~
~Already, Erus had the advantage. The opponent was coming towards him, allowing him to favor the defensive. Also, the mentioned characteristics of his foe's movements revealed so much. Erus on the other hand, just stood there. His shield at his side, his weapons sheathed. His body language gave no clear indication of his intention. Perhaps he wasn't even looking for a fight, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.~
~"You there, you look as if you're ready to kill someone. I am so sorry to say this, but there will be no killing. At least on your part. That's a luxury only I shall be enjoying"~

The archer kept his distance, circling slowly, like a prowling wolf. A predatory glare split his cool, grey eyes, a sign that he would rather be four hundred yards away with a big yew longbow and a bodkin. Hook kept his weapons raised, his eyes flicking to his opponent. He definitly had a small hight advantage here, and with that came longer stride and reach. Naturally, the soldier's choice of weapons evened the odds.
Hook felt the sun on the back of his neck, the flesh an already angry red from sun-burn. He hawked, and spat a gobbet of saliva in the direction of his opponent. A derisive insult in just about every culture on god's green earth. "Come on then, What are ya? A coward?" He bellowed this, his voice echoing of the walls of the garden. It was a cheap trick to be fair, but many a time it had goaded an opponent into a rash attack. Probably not this one though. His impassiveness unnerved Hook a little, a man used to impassioned bar brawls and brutal close quater battles.
Hook finished his circling, and dropped into his guard again, taking a more defensive stance, behind what little refuge the tiny buckler offered.

~Erus grinned at the spit, his opponent clearly wasn't confident that his skill alone would suffice, and as such he would rather result to a lower means of communicating his attitude and viewpoints. From Erus' point of view, it seemed that Hook fought to humiliate and might result to cheap tricks and dirty fighting. He would keep that in the back of his mind. He continued to stand, his shield at his side, his weapons sheathed.~
~"Me, coward? You sir are circling me, weapons drawn, and taunting me. I have yet to draw my weapons."~

Hook smirked. The man had a point. Time for action then. He took up a well-balanced stance, feet wide apart, knees bent slightly. The sunlight peaked over his shoulders, flashing into his opponent's impassive features. He flicked his sword arm, the blade tracing a lethal figure of eight, slowly gathering momentum. As the blade passed his left shoulder, his wrist rotating, he slashed the blade diagonally across his body extending the point and upper part of the blade. Using his considerable strength, he lunged forward, timing his right foot to land at the same time as his strike.
The strike was aimed for the leather padding in the point where neck met shoulder. The rising sun flashed off the blade as it whistled through the air. As the blade reached the mid point of its lethal arc, the archer's foot would stamp down heavily, trying to crush his opponent's right. The effect would be to disrupt any parry attempted, allowing the sword blade to embed itself deeply into his upper torso.

~The knight would grab the hilt of his saber with his right hand, his middle, ring, and pinky finger on the top of the hilt as his thumb and pointer were placed above the guard so that they wrapped around the scabbard. He would rip the scabbard off his hip and bring it to his side, the sword still in scabbard and the scabbard secured by the fingers. He would raise his left arm, which bore the shield, and raised it so that it would be protecting his head and left side, his scabbard covered saber on his right side. As his opponent was in mid air, Erus would step forward with his left foot and shield bash his opponent as he was in the process of landing. His opponent's right foot would crush downwards, and since it would be aimed for when Erus was standing still, it would be off place and miss Erus. He would swing his saber at his opponent's blade, attempting to knock it off course before it was meant to strike Erus.~
~If this was successful, he would let go of his grip on the scabbard and swing the sword at his opponent's head, the scabbard would fly off and aim to hit him in the head as the blade would follow through and chop off Hook's head.~
