(i spent a good 10 minutes of sleepless thinking, last night....wondering why on earth didn't i use the king on the water move, earlier...oh well )
ok, i think i got this.
vertical kick (as i charge towards him) releasing a kick of the grasshopper.
if not...then when can i use non-combat moves.....it should technically be ok to have the time to make a moving action, when after small pauses like between rounds.
Blimey. I will be very kind and allow the Vertical Kick as I said there was a break...
Ok, the VK takes three frames to pull off, before you do the KOTG. If Ruskjy has any moves that work against charges he can use them... but he doesn't.
Rade: 9/14/1
Rusky: 15/18/-1
Ok, Rusky, Rade is VKing it towards you, but you can strike him as he approaches. Your move.
In that case, before Rade's kick it was:
Rade: 9/29/2
Rusky: 10/18/2
And Rade is wounded!
Rade then rolls +4 on his kick. Rusky's block takes him to 17... Rade is on 17 also! A hit! And eight damage straight back to Rusky, wounding HIM likewise, so now you are both at -1 to all rolls...
So now, turn 2...
Rade: 8/29/2
Rusky: 7/26/3
Rade's blow...
