Dates in the training room

They usually did dates out, and while he knew she enjoyed them, Brandr also knew that sometimes Svalin liked a good spar. Add in that this training room was fascinating with all the possibilities it could create and well, there was no reason not to use it for a sparring date of sorts. Though he'd had to get help when putting together this scenario.

He'd asked her if she was available that evening, and suggested they meet at the training room. So upon seeing her, he smiled brightly and bowed. He was wearing his leather gear, but only that layer and none of the extra ones on top, and it was worn in a casual manner, with the top not completely done up. "I art glad ye couldst come milady." Though he used 'milady' and was bowing, his whole tone was quite informal and charming and very distinctly not his 'on duty' way of speaking.

	Svalin smiled when she saw him. She had been curious to what he was planning when he said to meet him in the training room. Their dates were usually off the grounds giving the two of them some time away from the everyday, but Svalin would not voice a word of complaint about a sparring session date. "I wouldst not miss this, m'lord." (Reply to this)(Thread)

He took her hand and gave her a dashing grin before giving it a light kiss and leading her further into the training room.

"I had thought that, for a change, we might face some of thine favourite opponents from midgard. Or midgard culture I suppose." He looked to the ceiling and projected his voice. "Mayhap we couldst begin now dear room?"

It took a moment but the room did set up the scenario. They were in the middle of range of mountains, light snow on the ground and a good breeze in the air. And if one looked in the distance, Asgard's walls could be made out. "I hath tried to make the environment a bit like back home," he said over the wind before he was cut off by a distant roar. Brandr grinned. "It ist not quite the same as the one ye hath fought, but I do hope it shall do."

As he spoke a dragon could be seen flying into view. It was smaller than the one she'd fought, and had a different shade to it, but seemed more than ferocious enough. "I do believe the program begins with the fictional foe first milday, though the other should prove a distraction enough during the first fight." And to explain what he was talking about, something dropped from the dragon's back and landed not far from them, the reverberations could really be felt.

"A balrog it wast called?" He asked lightly as he drew his sword. "I believe it wouldst be a good start."

	Svalin smiled. "Aye, it ist a good start. Mayhap it wilt be our only opponent. They art quite a challenge and a most formidable foe." She drew her sword. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didst not have much lined up beyond the Balrog and the dragon after," he admitted with a smile as the Balrog roared to get their attention then charged forward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It ist perfect," Svalin said. "With luck we wilt still be in shape to fight the dragon after the Balrog." She took a deep breath and charged toward the balrog. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Brandr let her take point, because this was still a date and ladies first. The whole point of setting this up was for her enjoyment and it wouldn't do to have him charging in first. The balrog continued forward, its massive form leaving a crushed trail as it went. When it saw Svalin approach, it roared and reared up, flames bursting from cracks in its skin.

	Svalin charged forward, shield up and sword ready. She didn't check to see if Brandr was there. She knew he would be. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-10-22 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	The balrog brought an arm down on the charging duo as they approached, roaring again as it did so. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-10-23 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin raised her shield to block the attack. The mystical properties of the shield blocked the fire and the heat from reaching her. She struck out with her sword at the thing's arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-10-23 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	The sword found its mark, though the Balrog in this simulation was made of tougher stuff than to be badly hurt by one attack. It roared and spewed flame at the figure with the shield, all while it formed a large sword of flame in its other hand. Brandr, not having a shield to protect him, went to the side, aiming to flank the monster. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin's shield took the brunt of the attack. The fire didn't touch her, but she could feel the heat. She brought Vigfrior around for a strike. It struck the sword of flame. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-10-24 12:05 am UTC (link)
	The Balrog put its massive strength behind his attack, as he pushed the flaming sword, which flared up, against Vigfrior. Brandr had gone around to the other side, his sword hitting the Balrog's leg to try and keep its attention divided and prevent it from using its full strength and focus on Svalin.

	shield_maiden 2013-10-24 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin strained against the attack, using the strength in her legs to keep from buckling under. The heat was intense and she was already sweating, but the flames didn't burn her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-10-25 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	At Brandr's sword strike, the Balrog roared and swung its arm to try swatting the offending Asgardian away. Brandr jumped back and ducked under the swing, but in doing so the beast had let off the pressure on Svalin and had put its concentration elsewhere. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-10-26 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Svalin didn't waste the opportunity presented before her. She pulled Vigfrior back and took a swing at the balrog, putting all of her strength into it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-10-28 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Again, the beast's attention switched once her blade hit, and the Balrog swung the flaming blade wildly at her this time. Taking advantage of the pingpong attention switching happening, Brandr moved behind the Balrog and struck the back of its knees full force while it swung at Svalin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-10-29 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin blocked the attack with the shield and had to brace herself with her legs. Even still, she buckled a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-10-30 12:04 am UTC (link)
	The balrog fell to one knee, but that was still not enough to prevent it from swinging again at Svalin's shield. And again, trying to break it down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-10-30 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin, now on one knee, kept the shield up and it took the blow from the balrog. She swung her sword, but it was an awkward angle and there wasn't much behind it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

While the Balrog has decided to focus on her, Brandr comes from behind and uses his full strength to try and drive his sword into the back of the Balrog's sword arm as Svalin's sword hits. The beast roars as the sword stabs into its joint and it throws its arm back to try and shake off the asgardian with a sword in its arm. The thrashing hits Brandr and throws him off, thankfully with sword still in hand and the Balrog whirls, turning its attention to the new target.

The flaming sword becomes a flaming whip and it pulls back its arm, ready to strike.

	Svalin rose to her feet and didn't hesitate to attack. She tried to drive her sword into the balrog. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The flaming whip came down right by him as Brandr moved out of the way, feeling the blazing heat get too close for his liking. The Balrog drew back its arm to strike again as Svalin's blade found its mark and it roared in pain again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin yanked her sword out and stabbed the beast again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Again it roared in pain and swung its whip hand around to try and hit the offending Asgardian. Brandr got to his feet again and rushed forward while the Balrog was distracted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin quickly put the shield up to block the blow, but it was a second too late and the blow caught her on the arm. It caused her a lot of pain and made her take a few steps back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
