Fighting Journal: 2
Ugh thank god nobody ever put me in charge of the books... I keep terrible records.
Ok today at fight/war practice here is what I did well:
1) Survival: I went toe to toe with Wulfgar nearly every battle and survived sometimes as many as three of his shots! I feel this is a huge step forward from me being 'one-timed' with every swing of his before and very important for me on the warfield where you can break off, run away and find someone with a bigger sword to fight with you. It came in handy when I had to pull Wulfgar away from his unit a few times, gave my unit a chance to charge in and mess them up.
2) Tying-up: That was what I think I did best at. Because it was mostly new fighters there we were all on a similar level, I could engage them, stay alive and keep them occupied long enough for someone else to kill them or for me to land a shot. It's all about the delay of game.
3) Stamina: I felt like a million bucks by the end of practice and could have probably gone on for longer. This kinda disturbs me considering all I've had to eat in the last two days is crackers and chips... but my energy level was good, my hydration high and I could have gone on again after a brief break.
What I gotta work on
1) Survival: Yup I still keep getting killed. As much as I love my strapped round, I'm gonna make a new shield. I'm going to look around at some designs but definatly something longer. I keep loosing my legs!
2) Throwing shots: Definatly gotta hit a pell-poll and work on my technique. I feel comfortable throwing them, and people usually take it when I land one, but it doesn't feel clean and I'm sure it looks ugly out there. Wanna clean that up.
3) Weapons: Next time I bring more pokey bits to play with! And I really gotta make some proper full gauntlets for my polearm... hmmm...
