Li Damu sat astride his horse, showing no sign of fear, despite facing off against two opponents. Zhuge Lao was no more than a child, being but a teenager, it was the other one, Zhuge Lan, who was wielding a hand axe, it was he who posed the greater threat. Li Damu noted that Lao was eager to get started, this enthusiasm could be used against him, and the ruler began to think of a plan of attack.

Zhuge Lao went forward first, swinging his katana as if imagining that Li Damu was there in front of his swipes. Lan followed more slowly, his hand axe at the ready, to throw if necessary, no matter what, he would not allow his little brother to be harmed,

Li Damu quickly darted forward on his horse and rammed it into Zhuge Lao's, the movement unbalancing him and sending his horse sideways into Zhuge Lan's.
(I'm afraid this is logical, Lao is too young to be much of a horseman, and the horse skittering sideways would cause this)
Since this then unbalanced Lan also, Li Damu drew his dagger and pitched it overarm at the man wielding a hand axe.

(it's fair)
Lan parried the dagger away, but not before it flew to one side and cut his face, he yelled out in anger and went forward on his mount, wheeling, he charged at Li Damu as Zhuge Lao recovered his balance and did the same thing from the other side, hopefully catching Li Damu between them.

Li Damu saw what the two of them were doing and stood up in his stirrups, placing one foot on the saddle of his horse he waited, keeping his balance with difficulty. As his two opponents came near (wondering, no doubt, what on earth he was doing) Li Damu leapt from the saddle, flying at Zhuge Lan, whose cumbersome weapon would prevent a speedy response.

Zhuge Lan saw Li Damu's jump and merely took the impact, being dehorsed and landing heavily on the ground, wind knocked out of him. However, he had anticipated the jump enough that he knew this impact to be coming, and he landed with axe held above him to block any attacks. Meanwhile, Zhuge Lao jinked his horse over to Li Damu and slashed at him while he struggled with his older brother.

Li Damu speedily hit Lan in the face with the hilt of his sword then dived towards the hooves of Lao's horse. Slicing through the straps of the saddle, and making the youngster unsteady on his perch.

Zhuge Lao cried out in dismay and slipped out of the saddle, landing on his feet, cat-like. Behind Li Damu Zhuge Lan got to his feet, both moved in on the ruler, one taking the left, the other the right, crowding him with a relentless attack.

Li Damu took measured steps back from the assault, slowly yielding ground until he got to the object of his attentions... his dagger, it was quickly scooped up and put to use, now he had a second weapon.
Li Damu stepped forward twice, and began a horizontal cut at Zhuge Lao's head, well aimed and directed.

Zhuge Lao brought his sword up for a parry, the sword being raised to just above his head. Meanwhile Lan stepped backward and swung his axe for Li Damu's side, aiming for a crippling blow.

Li Damu changed the angle of his stroke, instead directing it downwards, straight past the guard of Zhuge Lao, at the same time he threw his dagger at Zhuge Lan, who could either be struck and hope to not be killed, or stop his swing and dodge.

(well I lost anyway, but also I didn't post in a day so  ) Zhuge Lao was struck painfully, the blade of Li Damu hacking into his shoulder and driving him to the ground, meanwhile, his sibling hit Li Damu in the side with his axe, the dagger penetrating Zhuge Lan's eye and killing him instantly to land the blow. |

(bleh, you're no fun...  ) Li Damu gasped as the blade bit into his side, but felt a satisfied feeling as both of his foes went down, one dead. The fifteen year old, fallen unconcious, he put on a horse and sent away. The older, dead, Zhuge he strapped to a second horse, but kept his hand axe to remind himself of what had passed this day. (duel results: Li Damu wins!
Zhuge Lao is wounded! Li Damu is wounded! Zhuge Lan is killed!) Li Damu gains +25 skill, +25 speed, +25 fame Zhuge Lao gains +25 skill, +25 strength |
