The long awaited....bleh, just read it.

Neloth picked up his ebony staff. "Let us begin." he said with a grin.
Ahnaressu didn't reply, for as Neloth was saying the words, he was also casting a fireball directly at the ashlander. Ahnaressu quickly dove, avioding the inferno. He came out of the roll on one knee, ready to spring.
Neloth cast the same spell again, but Ahnaressu was ready for it. He jumped to his left to dodge the flame before springing towards Neloth. Ahnaressu swung his sword from right to left, while still inthe air but Neloth was quicker with a staff than Ahnaressu would have guessed. Neloth held his staff out vertically to block Ahnaressu's attack. The parry had Ahnaressu off guard and off balance. He managed to land on his feet, but Neloth's staff held Ahnaressu's katana back effectively.
Instead of pressing forward with his weapon, as Neloth was doing, Ahnaressu pulled out of the lock by ducking low, and rolling to the side.
Neloth's staff hit the ground harmlessly. Ahnaressu turned back around to face Neloth, pacing in a circle.
The mage had much more body strength than Ahnaressu would have guessed from the old mer's skinny, mage-like frame. He wondered if it was magical strength.
He didn't have time to ponder any further, as Neloth cast an unkown spell. Ahnaressu figured out what the spell was soon enough, when the Telvanni was in the air above him, a staff held above his head. The ahslander decided to try to score a hit while Neloth was in the air, but ended up blocking the wizard's staff yet again. He should have dodged, he realized as he saw the wizard's landing. jumping so high didn't make for perfect landings. he made a note to himself before pulling out of yet another lock.

that's all for now...
