This time it is you who brings his blade down to solidly block, and this time the block is good! Lothar's saber slams into yours with tremendous force. You hold firm and engage your opponent in a lock, your lightsabers crackling fiercely against one another.
Lothar is down at an unusual angle and loses his balance, giving you the round as you push him back.

Lothar to attack!
Pick six more moves, Denzral.
Denzral's counterattack comes with unfortunate timing. You try to twist Lothar's lightsaber out of position so that you can land a solid kick at him, but Lothar pushes back and actually shunts your lightsaber out of position. With your center open, Lothar strikes you in your solar plexus, and you stumble.
Lothar's Strength attack defeats your Dexterity defense.
In addition, you are a viable target for Crutch once more! You take 7 damage as you narrowly deflect a laser that comes up from below.

Denzral to attack, but the match point is to Lothar. If Lothar wins this round, Denzral will lose.
You can either outplay him or you can retreat.
Lothar tries to remain sturdy so that he can retaliate with a powerful finishing blow, but Denzral performs admirably with an Agility play that beats Lothar's pitch by a full 4 points. Denzral performs some sort of acrobatic maneuver that outflanks Lothar and puts Denzral in a good positioning.
Crutch shoots again and scores a hit for 6 damage as the platform underneath Denzral's foot explodes from a shot. Denzral is at 37 damage.

Lothar plays his own attack cautiously after Denzral's flip, trying to twist away your lightsaber with a forceful jab.
It is actually Lothar's turn to attack.
As such, Lothar's incoming blow is patient and well-timed. You perform another acrobatic flip of some sort with your Strong Agility, but his jab manages to seek you out and interrupt your maneuver. You come back down awkwardly, and once again must deflect incoming fire from Crutch, taking 5 damage and putting you at 42.
Round draw, goes to attacker.

Lothar: 5

Denzral to attack, Lothar to defend. Match point to Lothar.
A wise decision. In that case, the scores reset to zero. The duel carries on as normal, but if Denzral reaches a score of 2 first, he escapes and the duel is over. If Lothar reaches a score of 2 first, the duel resumes at its current score.
Additionally, choosing to give ground brings you out of Crutch's firing line.

Denzral to attack as he tries to maneuver toward the lift that will take him out of here.
Agility (normal)
What effect will Force Choke have on Lothar in a duel? Or Fling in the same duelling situation?
Has Lothar actually taken any damage in this duel?
Denzral spins his blades, and they flash around him, he lashes in for a strike at Lothar's midsection.
"Are you that weak you cannot fight your battles on fair footing!" Denzral growls through the pain.
Grip and Fling require focus to perform. In the heat of duel, you rarely have that opportunity. It can be used descriptively as part of your move, if you so desire. Dooku certainly used Fling in his second showdown with Kenobi and Skywalker.
None; damage is dealt when the winner of the duel is successful.
"I know when to use advantages," Lothar retorts.
Denzral's flashy display does not make contact with Lothar's flesh. It certainly gives the Dark Jedi reason to pause and hold back, deflecting anything that comes close with sturdy blocks.
Denzral's Agility move outflanks Lothar's Strength move, and Denzral backs up into the cave, out of the altar room.

Lothar to attack. When he realizes that you are trying to pull back, he comes at you with a series of powerful slashes designed to wear down your defenses.
"Are you so weak that you cannot stand and face me?" Lothar sneers.
Lothar may accept your surrender, if your escape proves futile...
He catches up to you and your lightsabers clash dramatically as each of you tries to hammer against one another with strong slashes and parries. You enter another lock as your blades come to a halt and grind mercilessly against one another. But you are tiring and Lothar manages to drive you to your knees while keeping the lock...
