What ho, Unity Group! If we are to be allies, we should know each other's measure. To that end, I am going to spend today waiting on the grassy field outside the front gates to fort Alhambra. for any of you skilled in arms. I've always been partial to swords myself, but I'll test my skill against any of you with any weapon you desire! If it's an unusual weapon, bring two.

Njall is at the location he specified, and has collected quite a pile of weapons of various types. Some with proper edges, some blunted or padded for training purposes.

Were you planning on getting in a match with Njall, but couldn't get there early enough? That's a shame. After a few matches, Suma showed up to challenge him, and the two proceeded to perfectly match each other for eight continuous hours of lightning fast swordplay.

Still, even if you can't actually fight, it's a hell of a show. Gamblers, place your bets

Head spinning from the impact, Suma barely managed to fall back in time, earning a cut on the arm for her hesitation.

She fell back for a second, giving both of them a second to regain their footing.

"Not bad for a warm up."

Njall cracked his neck, spun his sword around loosely a time or two, then charged back in with an eye blurringly rapid series of thrusts and slashes, each aimed at a different vital point from a different angle.

Despite a dozen small injuries and hours of exhaustion, Suma still didn't show the slightest sign of relenting or slowing down.

From a momentary position of hard-earned high ground, she leapt, bringing the claymore down in a brutal vertical slash.

Njall, who was lying on the ground from having been tripped earlier, frantically rolled out of the way while pulling a knife from his boot, which he hurled at her landing spot.
