Duel: Sheltering Leaves VS Silent Fox
Both opponents circle each other warily, looking for telltale gaps in the others form. Both their fellow teammates and other warriors on break gather round silently to see the fight for themselves. Silent Fox closes his eyes for a moment and visualizes the coming battle...time slows down, but only so much. Sheltering Leaves knows he'll use his sight to his advantage, and begins making quick erratic movements to confound the sense of Fox, and it works!
Overeager, he strikes early-Sheltering Leaves ducks his blow with expert skill, and, dropping to one knee, angles a lightning fast upward kick into Silent Fox's lower body and under his guard. He stops just short of the mans ribs, a cagey smile on his face. They both step back, the winner of the first round-Sheltering Leaves. You both silently agree it would take more than that to stop a Kai though-the blow wouldn't have been full strength, and the 6th sight allowed Silent Fox to harden himself in anticipation of it.
They pause for a second, then recommence-Silent Foxes staff is a blur, deflecting blow and blow, but eventually, some get through. Sheltering Leaves manages to land glancing blows, only-and suddenly, he is caught off guard! Silent Fox launches into a well timed attack pattern of his own, landing 3 light blows in rapid succession. They both realize, Foxes goal is to wear down Leaves enough to land a finishing attack. Leaves is pressed into a corner, and when he tries to roll to the side, Silent Fox sweeps his legs and sends him to the floor asprawl. He's unhurt as he springs to his feet, but both of them are breathing heavily and sweating now.
They make another round, gauging each others reactions. Silent Fox makes the first move-he spins his staff in an intricate arc and brings it down on Leaves shoulder-he's too weary to dodge, and the other Kai silently murmur, such a blow would have broken the Elves shoulder. But, the battle is not yet over-Sheltering Leaves summons up his last reserves of strength and launches another flurry of punches. This time, he finds his mark-he gets under Foxes guard, knocks his staff away for a step, and executes a one handed hammerblow to his midsection-the spot in which he would already had been greatly injured by the first blow. Sheltering Leaves manages to stop, what would surely be a fatal blow had they been fighting for real.
The two Kai, bruised, tired but glad to have fought well, back away and bow to each other. Good fight!

War Wind misses the excitement, instead choosing to sleep-he has dreams of the hunt...
Lone Wanderer watches carefully, as Fox uses his weapon to defend himself-it's not so much that he's fast with it, though he is, faster than the Human eye-but that the staff if an extension of his own body, a shield of spinning ironwood, he weaves around himself to block and deflect away hostile blows. Sheltering Leaves was nearly driven to exhaustion attempting to pierce the defenses without being brained or tripped, but his speed allowed him to eventually come out the winner in this contest.

You'll notice-6th sense ability I decided gives you +2 to all stats for 1d6 turns, and after 10 rounds of constant combat you'll begin to incur penalties until you just crit each other to death. Fox is actually not bad defense wise, but it was unlikely he could win in a physical contest-Sheltering Leaves has higher strength, endurance and agility, along with his unarmed fighting skill. Even then, it was a very close battle-if Silent Fox had not taken that critical on the first turn, theres a very good chance he would have won.
