Snippet #1010100

Grove locked blades with the man over his head. He was surprised that he could still swing his sword well enough to attack him. Granted, his sword was not made for especially close combat, but he was not helpless. He was about to throw a punch as he saw his hand as a knife jerk toward his neck. Why like that? A fist would have been far more effective. Grove ducked down below the blow and immediately countered. He wanted to turn this to hand to hand combat. His counter was a sweep of his leg designed to take out his opponents legs. At the same time he summoned a spire at an angle behind his opponent, the spire designed to hit his opponents side, in order to incapacitate him.

The leg sweep should distract him long enough to either cause him to jump and be doomed or kick his leg away and be doomed or to do nothing about it and be doomed.
