Well, you would do that, Rand, except that this Osokan is some twenty feet tall and covered in hair and spikes with huge feral talons and isn;t actually an Osokan at all...
"Uh-oh," says Doon. "That looks like..."
A Graal beast, you know what the damn thing is, Rand! And they are LETHAL! It roars, and a claw swipes towards you... those claes can rip open spaceship hulls!
The Graal's blow is fast... it swipes across you, Rand, and whilst you avoid the claws, the hand itself smashes you to the floor, where you roll over, spitting out a mouthful of sand from the ground as you raise painfully to your hands and knees.
The pain in your left leg is getting worse. it's more than a tear in your Jedi robes; the leg is cut open to the bone. The Graal bundles over towards you...

"Well then?" Galder says, becoming a tad impatient, arms crossed. "Let me see my opponent!"
"Like I say, patience! They'll put someone forwards in the next 30 minutes or so..."

It's certainly not well, Rianna... but it has gripped your sabre hilt with a grasp of iron!
Helkin grips tightly onto his weapon, nearly losing the grasp but not quite.
"Look at you..." he says, closing towards you.. "Pitiful... defenceless... did all your victims feel like this, I wonder..."
A surge of rage guides you, Rand. But you cannot seem to lock onto the creature... you try to back aay, to try again, but the arena wall comes all too soon and blocks your way... and then FINALLY, you have a grip... the creature slows, pained, but still it closes... closes... closes... your other hand grips your sabre, waiting to time your final thrust... the other opponents are closing in, seeing the weakness, hoping to kill two foes in one go...
There is no escspe- there is only death. Kill or be killed, which in this place is highly appropriate. Your ewmotions can give you that power, but there is still some lingering resistance before you give yourself to them completely, Rand...
"I'd take care of that thing quick!" yells out Doon. "There's a few other things coming, and it looks you you already killed the only guy that was going to help you!"
"Well, what was it," says Doon, "cosmetic surgery? He certainly weighs less without his arms and legs..."
Your grip squeezing as hard as you can, Rand, the creature slows just enough for your high-speed blow to be perfect, taking the Graal just under the chin. It stops for a moment, seemingly confused by its impending death, and then starts to fall on top of you. and the bleeding leg and your sabre-burned right arm are slowing your reactions too much...
"Trying to make me feel scared, are you? Hah! It'll never work. No matter how much it may seem so, I am never truly defenseless...and no one who has ever called me pitiful has survived." Rianna replies, laughing. She then lets go of the lightsaber that the Osokan is holding, drawing and ignitining her second lightsaber, which had remained hidden. "How defenseless am I now?" she sneers, before slicing at Helkin (standard saber attack).
(Which is why even though Rianna has two sabers, she rarely uses both at once...secret weapon!!! 😄)
