my kingdom come [DM]

A pinching pain flared in his right cheek as the witch?s teeth would sink in only slightly before they were quickly removed. Her face would drop and the man would latch on to her upper jaw with his own. Searing pain now affected him as Morphine snapped her muzzle closed with a force that could break. Without much consideration he recognized that the right side of his mandible had been fractured by the impact. He would still be able to bite with his left side, but was unwilling to risk further damage. In immediate reaction, he would tighten his grip upon her nose and make the conscious decision to release her once he met the ground.



His body would reach the floor fast, gravity pulling the massive brute down and taking his opponent partially down with him. In the instant he made contact with the dirt, several acts would take place: his jaws would part and he would pull his head back and close them again to protect his fragile mandible; his right leg would fall from the shoulder of his opponent back to his side; his tail would tuck against his stomach to protect his underside; his roll would begin, powered by the momentum of his fall, and he would thrust his left leg from the ground toward her lower chest near the exposed area inside her raised right leg. He hoped that thrusting his paw into this spot would cause even the slightest disturbance in her balance, maybe cause a small bruise, and give him a bit of extra speed in his roll back to his feet.


Claws would make contact with the skin along the left side of his neck as he rolled away and removed his throat from the spot where Morphine aimed to drop her paw and he would feel blood slowly begin to soak the fur there as he leapt deftly to his paws just a few feet away from the witch and swung his hips to meet her head on again. Quickly, Seraphim would reset the defenses he had lost on the ground, allowing his tail to snake back out to be even with his spine as he spread his legs slightly an equal distance apart and lowered his body slightly with his knees bent, ensuring optimum balance. His claws would dig into the ground as he tightened the muscles of his abdomen and shifted his weight slightly toward his toes for increased speed in his first movement. Hackles would raise and shoulders would roll forward as he lowered his head and tucked his chin against his throat. His eyes remained narrowed and his ears remained pinned against his skull through the duration of their fight.



The brute would then loose his attack on the woman, charging at her in a sprint and lowering his head in an attempt to meet hers, hoping that this act would disorient her and throw off her balance, and aiming to give her a concussion from the impact. A moderate bruise would bloom on his own skull from the impact if it occurred, but he would ignore it. Immediately upon reaching her, with or without contact to her skull, Seraphim would swing his hips around to come perpendicular to her left side and shift his balance to his hind legs. His fore legs would rise from the ground and he would try shove into her side, his left leg on her shoulder and his right at the top of her ribcage, and aim to knock her to the ground. If he succeeded, he would drop the entirety of his weight onto his front paws in the hopes of breaking ribs and/or dislocating her shoulder. If he should fail, Seraphim would allow his front paws to fall back to the ground and spread his weight equally again while backing away to prepare for Morphine?s next assault.




Round 2 of 3 v. Morphine for Death



Attacks: Tightens grip on her upper jaw slightly and holds until his falls. Releases her jaw and removes his leg from her shoulder, completely relinquishing his hold on her, and kicks against her lower chest in the right ?armpit? area. Charges and attempts to butt heads. Swings around to her left side (like an "L" with Seraph being the tiny bottom part) and tries to shove her onto her right side with his left paw against her shoulder and his right paw against her ribcage. If she falls, he will drop his weight on her to try to break ribs.

Defenses: Eyes narrow, ears flat, tail raised, head lowered, chin tucked(My interpretation in Round 1 was that lowering his head against his neck was protecting his throat - as stated in that post, I intended that it was tucked to protect his neck and also said when he went to bite Morphine's jaw he did so without removing his head from his own throat. However, aly clarified for me today that having his head lowered in that post gets judged separately from having his chin tucked, so I wanted to let you know about my confusion in case that affected things any! [Raii is a fruit]) knees bent, widened stance, weight focused slightly toward toes, shoulders rolled forward, claws dug into ground, hackles rose, tightened abs.

Closed mouth after release to protect right mandible from further injury. Tail tucked against his stomach only while he was on the ground to protect his underside. Rolled away from Morphine upon hitting the ground. If he fails to knock her down, will back away to put distance between them and prepare for her counter.

Injuries: Deep bruising to his left shoulder, sprained ankle from the leg swipe, bruising to the left side of his torso from hitting the ground. Shallow wounds from Morphine?s first bite to his right cheek and from her second bite on both the top and bottom of his lower jaw. Fractured right mandible. Moderate cuts from Morphine?s claws on the left side of his neck. Minimal bleeding from wounds on mouth and fact, moderate bleeding from neck wound. Bruising on his forehead if he makes contact with Morphine's.
