Finally, on an unusually warm evening, you spot Pollox in a clearing, seated among a series of large cut stones that must have once composed a fortified structure.

"I have not met one of your kind so attuned to nature. Though I consider your kind a blight, I believe you to be the threat to man, not beast. You belong in a crowded city street, feasting upon the sick and filthy human rubbish. Malacahi asked that I show you some companionship. Seems your 'brothers' up there do not take kindly to other ways of thought.
There is one thing I have wondered since our last meeting. How do you handle yourself in battle?"
:: The last statement is emphasized not only by Pollox's standing, but by his voice upon speaking the last words. It was deeper. More...bestial...::

Although many of my kind flood the city's of these current nights, it is not my wish to join them. I feel freedom and purpose here with the forest. I wish no harm to come to the land or animals that live here. I will have to remember to thank Malachai for making his request. My 'brothers' do not remember the old ways as I do. They align themselves with new ideals and have forgotten tradition from nights past."
::Abellio knowing that all of his knowledge and charisma mean nothing on the fields of battle. Remembers a time long ago when battle was neccesary to preserve his very traditions he protects now.::
"Although I am known for my vast knowledge and my oracular ability. There was once a time in my distant past, in my home country when my abilities meant nothing. For the battles that were waged back in times past were over the very thing I still hold dear to my heart to this day. I did fight for my beliefs and ideals alongside my country men as time has told we failed to hold significant hold over the area. It is now plagued with other belief systems and the traditions have been washed away slowly with time like rocks on a shoreline. However I was fierce in battle I did not waiver, although my country mens overall goal was not met we did fight for what we believed in none the less. I am not one for battle but nor am I one for cowardice."
::Sensing a possible hostility, Abellio spends a blood for nothing more than to bulk up his physical stats in Stamina traits slowly as he is speaking as to not cause any alarm and to not provoke unwanted engagement::

Rolls:

(First attack will miss. Roll dodge and soak, along with your own attacks if you choose to defend yourself)

::Abellio blocks the first swing with an arm and lets it draw blood. Abellio uses a free action to activate Witness of Darkness (Protean: Eyes of the beast) and spends a blood to activate Talons of the Beast. Two Blood will be spent to increase Dexterity traits. While this is occuring the drawn blood will be activly spread across the ground in a spiral fashion. This is the first round that a blood has been spent to use Consecrate the Grove. Abellio will continue to actively dodge in the fashion into the next round.::
(Roll Dexterity + Dodge to activly dodge after spending 2 Blood for Dexterity)
"My ideals matter as long as I believe in them."
::Abellio will also continue to spend a second blood on the second round of combat for Consecrate the Grove. Therefore allowing Consecrate the grove to take affect at the begining of the third turn. As a free action on the second turn Abellio will spend 3 Blood to increase his Strength traits. On the final ring of the widdershin Abellio will charge with his claws and make a Dexterity + Brawl attack with his claws. Abellio is interested in becoming the victor if possible but also has no intentions of killing or maiming Pollox to the point of death or permanent impairment. If it is not possible to defeat him he wishes to provide a worthy fight to Pollox.::
(Roll Dexterity + Brawl to make a claw attack *Note in book says accuracy +1*)
(Roll Charisma + Survival to rouse the spirits using Consecrate the Grove)
*******Rolls**********
Roll 1 Dodge
Roll 2 Attack
Roll 3Consecrate the Grove
(Abellio is down to 11 Blood if he was at full before this scene and has now buffed all physical traits to a 4.)
[quote=""durden"] mike, roll to soak his third attack. he scored two success with lethal dmg. [/quote]

Soak Rolls for the rest of battle
(So I presume that this is the order that combat occured exactly? Please Correct me if I am completely wrong because I am lost.)

******ROUND 2?*******
Pollox easily bats your attack aside with the flat side of his sword.

Next round, Pollox attacks in the same fashion with three rapid sword swings.
