Word around Limsa Lominsa has been spreading. Every monday night there's a group of folk who gather down on the lower decks and simply.. fight. Some with weapons, some without. The biggest thing is, the Yellowjackets, they don't seem to mind. Word is, the little spitfire Keeper is the one in charge and keeps things in line. They also say anyone can drop in and let off some steam, or even pick up a few new moves.
- What: Nefzen’s Fight Club
- When:Â Mondays, 9PM EDT
- Where:Â Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (x9, y15)
- Who: Nef’s friends and anyone who wanders by Everyone!!
- How often? Weekly but the times/days will vary based on schedules. I’m also thinking of trying out Saturday around noon to let EU players join in the fun too
The goal is practice for the Grindstone and any other RP fighting, both IC and OOCly. It’s been years since I had to do RP fighting and need to brush up on it before tacking something as big as the tournament. Nef also is very much not used to face to face combat so ICly she knows she needs to train before doing this.
Types of combat we want to practice:
- Grindstone ruled bouts
- Full narrative fights
- “Guardian Practice†- this is something Erah'sae has come up withÂ
- ---at least 1 ‘guardian’
- ---at least 1 ‘target’
- ---at least 1 ‘attacker’
- ---the point is for the guardian(s) to fiend off the attacker(s) while protecting the target(s) from attacks.
- hand to hand self defense
- ---Nef is concerned that some of her friends who ‘don’t fight’ can’t protect themselves in this big bad world. Rather than put a weapon in their hands and try to make them hurt people (which is primary reason why they don’t fight) she simply wants to teach them things like simple throws, grapples, leverage, and joint manipulation in order to protect themselves without necessary hurting their opponent.
- I’m taking a lot of queues from Aiki-jujitsu, though since I’m not an actual practitioner I apologize if it’s not exactly accurate. Suspension of disbelief!
NOTE ABOUT INJURIES: There have been at least one, if not two healers express interest in joining, if only to watch and tend injuries. That being said I want folks to play nice and avoid killing each other. You start shit at my playground and I’ll go full Rogue on your ass. Capisci?
There is no requirement to be at every meetup. Simply drop in/out as you wish or time allows. I really expect attendance to fluctuate all the time. I promise not to take it personally. ;-)
Any questions?
