Final, round 8
[contribution author=Theben]"Well, little upstart, are you enjoying being humiliated in front of the throng? You should allow me to end your misery by laying down your weapons and submitting to death. It is your destiny, regardless.

A master of many weapons you may be, but a master of men you are not. You see, I can read you, and know when and where you will strike. Thus you cannot hope to defeat me. Given time, perhaps one day you would rival me in skill, but," Theben chuckles softly, "you haven't much time left in this world."[/contribution]
Chaunk returns Theben's smile, saying "Well, I killed Jamski-San a little like this...". Chaunk's axe swings swiftly towards Theben, and bounces of his shield in a shower of splinters, throwing Theben backwards a step.
Chaunk steps back, and as his axe rotates into the space he made available, he thrusts the spike mounted on its base deep into Theben's gut. At the same time, Theben's sword swings downward, the swing which was aimed for Chaunk's head thrown off course by pain, and instead embeds itself in Chaunk's shoulder.

Theben takes 41 damage and drops to 50HP. Chaunk takes 22 damage and falls to 22HP.
Send for round 9.
