Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Lol, Graff sounds like Ilyana...))
((Sorry to hear about ya HL, hope you're feeling better))

The small figure ahead darted off; Dark struggled to keep an eye on her. Squinting in hope to keep track of Adeva, she quickly disappeared from sight. He scowled, "Darn it!" 'If this keeps up,' he reached for his cursed katana, 'I may have to rely on this.' He pulled up just enough to see the glint of its mettle. He assumed since she had been fine every other time, she'd still be fine if he withheld from restraint for a moment. Still, he didn't want to use its power. He didn't notice Adeva dart behind a tree. He quickly approached her tree without signs of stopping.

Par'il didn't look up from the acrobatic in the field, "Sorry to hear that." There was a small pause before he finally remarked, "Ilyana must be a powerful witch.*"

Siom spun towards the remaining unattacked dummy. As he was nearly there, he began spinning, using the hammer as a counter-balance. Making skimming contact with it once, he dropped the hammer on the back-swing. Dropping to a scale, he caught the hammer's strap on his foot. Spinning in his T-stance, he kicked the weapon into the dummy's side twice before again letting it slide off on the back swing. Still outstretched, he caught the hammer with both arms. Spinning back to face his target, Siom swung his foot back to the ground, bringing the hammer up over his shoulder and smashing into the equivalent place of the base of the dummy's neck. Quickly, he turned and, with one hand, side tossed the hammer to the first manikin. Siom, however, rushed to the second one. With a round-off back-handspring, he launched up and fell through the air, becoming his own projectile, and pounded his feet into this dummy. The hammer skipped across the ground a few times, then ricocheted off the first manikin into the air. As Siom's feet made contact with his dummy, the wood began to bend back. The flex slowed and the dummy tried to return to its upright state. Siom sprung off as it returned. He began to flip. Grabbing the hammer, Siom spun low to the ground and smashed the weapon into the dirt. A shock-wave could be felt in the stands as dust rushed from the impact to the edge of the ring. The wooden figures seemed to crack and shatter, but despite the damage, remained in either one or two large pieces. He grunted and spoke softly, "Darn! The dwarven earth-based attack is still not masterd enough..." He didn't move for a moment, taken in the attack itself...

((*Note: English isn't Par'il's native language, as such, he is not familiar with the negative conotations of the word.))
((Rundown: (dummy: action)
Southwest: Hammer hit, 2 hammer kicks, Hammer Smash... Shockwave
Northwest: Hammer toss, Shockwave
East: Chest stomp, Shockwave))

((Sorry. Hi.))

Par'il had ignored Ilyana, too focused on the match. Hearing Shin-lu state Ilyana was weak after stating her feat seemed odd. The elves of his village too practiced magic, but she would seem to easily rival the village's best. As Siom finished, he paused to look to Ilyana in curiosity.

Siom heard Shin-lu shout. "Maybe I should, but it never hurts to practice!" He paused to think for a moment. "Doesn't one typically practice a move before trying to use it on an opponent from where you come from? You ought to know your strength and reach well before accidentally killing someone."
