Thread: combat training (attn: Alastair, Tripp

Alastair walks into the training room, takes a quick look around, "Does it have to be so bloody bright in here for combat training? I really dont want to take the chance of breaking my glasses but the light hurts my eyes."

droz puts out a couple of the torches in the room.

"Is that more to your liking? Now then straight to business, which do you want to do first? Train your muscles to their highest potential, or learn to sneak like the shadows? The choice is yours, ill tell you this, the strength training will be much more harsh and painful than the other, however both will hurt."

Alastair looks at Droz, as he removes his sunglasses “Much better now, I do however want to clarify it is not strength training that I was seeking, I was seeking to learn how to fight with a sword, preferably the katana as they have always drawn my fascination.”

Alastair puts his sunglasses into the pocket of his trench coat as he takes it off and drapes it over the back of the chair, “ Nevertheless, I would like to begin with learning how to blend with the shadows, provided that is acceptable to you.”

"Alright then, stealth it is. Now im going to turn my back and i want you to move away. When i turn around it is your task to try to sneak past me to the door without being seen. Each time i see you ill pelt you with one of these rocks. So remember the less your seen the better off you will be. After this i will show you exactly how it is done, then i will teach you the full mental rediness that is required to fully vanish."

"Alright sounds good, Just do me one favor, try not to muck up my clothing too badly. Massimo died after giving me this fashion tip."

After Droz turns his back, Alastair will move into the darkest corner as quietly as he can.

"oh one more thing, take off your shirt before we begin, it would be a shame to mess it up, plus it lets you see the results of your failures as well as feel them."

Droz waits for Alastair to finish, then waits about a minute then turns rocks at the ready.

He looks but cant make out the giovonni, but he continues to scan the room. He continues to scan but still cant make anything out. damn added darkness i got screwed on that one. Droz will still try to make out the gio. Finally he sees Alastair and quickly wings a rock at him, smacking him on the side of the head. Droz turns and waits a minute before looking again. Droz thought he saw something but couldnt make it out before the gio got to the door.

Well you got past this one rather in tact, now let me show you how its done. Droz tells alastair to turn once he does, droz melts into the shadows

OOC: throws for spots and rock throw done on chat

Alastair rubs the side of his head. "Bloody hell that rock bloody hurt, however I must admit it was a damn good shot.”

Alastair looks around for Droz until Droz speaks, “Will you quit doing that shite I already know you can vanish you have done it to me a number of times already. So mental training, I am not sure that there is much more mental training that I can undertake but let us give it a shot anyway.”

droz reappears and puts his hands to the sides of alastairs head. He begins to recite exact ways to think, exactly how you should meld with the shadows, each and every little thing about the act of vanishing that a person would need. Finally he finishes and removes his hands.

"So do you think you have this first part down? Or do we need to start over from the beginning?"
