As the mage in this story i just want to point out something with your wording. I kicked you in the shin and you stumbled back, you didn't go flying (Other then that i agree with most of the stuff you said in this post). Ok, now to the pain point, yes, my character is fairly skilled with a sword, i parried off one of your swings before running. I wrote long emotes cause i want them to be detailed and i don't want any confusion from whoever I'm countering. Mages are generally weaker yes but that doesn't mean there cripples who have bones that snap with a single touch. They can still fight, the thing is you didn't utilize the fact that i am indeed weaker, if it was a fight of sheer strength i would've lost 100%,
the thing is my character hadn't been casting what so ever so he wasn't tired, he was at full strength. I don't think parrying off a sword or ducking under a branch that is being swung at you is PGy at all. I'm sorry for writing such long detailed emotes but i was clarifying any moves in OOC if you needed it, i take CRP very seriously and write long emotes so people know exactly what i'm doing and how, if i emoted *Parries off blade and runs off*, i think you'd be more salty.
