*My first thought was that I was glad I hadn't hit him in the leg as well else Johun may have reduced himself to wearing just under garments and that may prove to be a little uncomfortable.
I had continued my rhythm and advance toward Johun, my mind latched firmly onto the stone atop the fountain as I came within being ten paces away I dropped both hands allowing my right hand and importantly my weapon hand to fall beside my right hip. I then stepped on the speed and sprinted the last few ten paces toward Johun bringing my currently inverted weapon up once more again at his left flank, this time blade would be angled toward his shoulder, my blade being half a meter short but at my current speed should find its target.
However upon the weapons journey I flipped the weapon around with a practiced movement of my wrist reverting the weapon to a normal standard hold and rather than attack with my blade as I had hoped to convince Johun I was doing I instead planted my right foot thus stopping my momentum and dropped low as I abruptly and drew my weapon across my body bringing my other hand to greet it and hold the hilt chest level at which point with a firm grasp on the object my mind possessed a hold of I flung it toward my opponent and a rather intense velocity issuing a rather guttural grunt as I did so, unleashing the stone in this manner aimed toward his head. Yet to grant myself time, and because guiding an object via telekinesis would prove unnecessarily taxing I merely launched the stone ball and let it rip.
How he responded would in turn dictate what I did. One hope was that I would be within close proximity so as my opponent dealt with the fast approaching object I could move in and press for the advantage I needed to bring this duel to a close.

A vertical slice from hip to shoulder, simple enough to defend. Johun rotated his wrists counter clockwise to bring his saber horizontal to stop Steffo's slice. But then the saber wasn't there and Steffo seemed to stop in his tracks. Suddenly there was an impending sense of danger. Johun relased the grip on saber with his right hand and raised his right arm up to his head, to protect it. The stone struck his arm with great force. It knocked him down and as far as Johun could tell, probably broke both his right ulna and radius. Johun was on the floor, on his left side, holding both his saber, and cradling his right arm against his body.

*I drew my blade hilt to be level with my waist and I spaced my feet evenly apart as I faced Johun front on my feet shoulder width apart, my weapon clasped in both hands.
I studied the form of the younger man, still now even he held his blade despite the pain he must be feeling. I had and now even more so admired Johun, and even though are time together had been short I was glad to have imparted unto him that never say die attitude.*"You have fought valiantly and you have driven me to an extreme I would not have liked to have been pushed toward, even now physically part of you may be broken but your spirit is resolute. You are noble, true and tough Johun Starfield, rise if you can my friend." *I waited to see if Johun would indeed rise so I could salute him believing this may be the end to the duel, for I did not wish to truly place hurt upon him more than I already had. If he wished to continue then so be it, but he would only draw out from me a defensive stance and if he wished to pursue he would now have to press me.*

Johun extinguished Vormund. He had been defeated. It was fortunate that it was against a friendly opponent, and not one that sought to destroy him. Still holding Vormund in his left hand, he placed his left hand, fist first, on the ground to push himself up. First, into a sitting position, then kneeling on his left knee, and finally to a standing position. Johun was exhausted and in pain, but happy. He hadn't fought like that in sometime, and no matter how much solo training or droid sparring you do, nothing compared to live opponents. Johun kept his right arm tight against his abdomen, wincing ever so slightly with the pain of broken bones.
Ashla favored you today, Steffo. I concede the victory.

The winner of this duel is Steffo Rancis.
Johun, I gotta say as one who has fought you in the past...you have -really- improved. Your anatomical descriptions and weapon placements are far more well-written than in the past, and your descriptions are clearer and more in-depth. However, you took a lot more damage, not to mention a few parts were still a little cloudy as far as what you were doing. Description is great, but sometimes you can actually lose someone in the details when you try to get -too- technical. Just remember....KISS...Keep it simple, son!
Steffo, your dueling has much improved as well from the duels Ive seen you in. You write with a good eye for openings, and take them as they come. You took advantage of a few key spots in the fight, and it showed by you landing hits when it counted most. However, be careful with first person writing. Im not saying don't do it, but there were a few times where I had to re-read what you had written to ensure it wasn't calling a hit...just something to keep in mind.
All in all, a very clean fight, no issues with force use, or anything of that sort. Steffo, well-done! Johun, I look forward to seeing more of you here in the GBA! As always, any questions or comments, you know how to reach me. Thanks for participating!
