"Once again, you give death threats! And no, my men will keep thier weapons ready to fire at a moment's glance. But I will talk to you."

Know something better you come to me because i dont trust your soldiers. I trusted you but that is no more so you come to me if you want to talk. No soldiers may follow you. If you trust me then come alone but i repeat no soldiers. I

(OOC So the use of scanners and heat signatures along with tracking devices and security cameras? Tau ships do have these also Imperial ground force responce.)
The Dark Eldar appear seconds after the final defeat of the Daemons and begin raining Poisoned crystal darts against the Imperials and Eldar.

"Fine, but any mistakes and I will kill you."

I make my way towards Argosh.

"Shas'O Kais? What are you doing?! He could kill you!"

"If he has any honour he will come alone. And I always have my trusty Rail Rifle."

I slowly walk to him always ready to use my flamer and hammer for any threat.

I begin to talk in tau
Some of my brothers translate it for the rest.
So you came. Fine. Why did you backstabbed me shas why did you made me trust you. Because i did. And only seconds after that you backstabbed me i ask you why xenos. Because that i how i see backstabbers i really trusted you. But you ordered an kill on me after i left the room. How could you. This is prove to me what i always said. I was rethinking my oppinion of your kind but you proved that my oppinion was right. What do you have to say to me. Because the only thing i want is to get of this ship and assist the imperials but now this has higher priority. If you see me as scum cais then you must fight me and prove it but then i want an alscarra. You look surprised. Yes i know of the alscarrac and i will challenge you if you want me dead but then do it in an honourfull way.
(Allscarra is an handfight till the death.)

"I ddo not wisah your death. As I never ordered your death warrant. I said that you were disposable. That if you life was the cost of a mission then that would be fine. I never ordered your demise."

I let out a loud sigh, and take off my helmet, revealing my face, with hardly any scars on it but one on my cheek.

"But I want this settled. Let us end this."

You want an alscarra? You as a tau must know that it is to the death. But fine if you want it then i accept. I release my armour lock and my helmet. Look this is what your kind did and i will take another one for you because i know that tau are bad in close combat. Oh and by the rules of alscarra that no firearms may be used. And that it was founded by kroot right?
I ready my muscles for the handfight making my senses ready and my superhuman reflexes ready.

(OOC You're a frikken Tau Shas! I'm finding this even difficult to understand why you'd do that?)
The two Warriors stand before each other ready to battle in mortal combat in the Eye of Terror.
(Who will Make the first move?)

(I know blood, it's just for character development, trust me on this)

"I know of my race's weakness in close combat. I have constantly trained and trained to increase my skill."

I then make my mind calm, and think of home, and peace, and of some of my Kroot allies I have closely worked with. And of Mont'yr, helping me train in fist fighting.

I keep thinking to myself, "Speed, skill, not strength. Speed, skill, not strength."

I calm myself, and sswing my arms to help m body flow.

"I am ready."

I strafe to the right, and keep dodging his blows. Waiting.

"Patience," I think.

( 'm gonna die )

As a salamander i am one of honour and even an child can see your in the disadvantage so i will let you strike first. And as an tau and this is an tau tradition which comes close to an nocturnean tradition i expect you will not betray your tradition by using any weapon. Except for your hands.

"It will be an honour to fight you."

I slowly move around, keeping a close eye on my surroundings, and quickly roll forward, bluff a strike, and swing at his nmeck before moving back, and preparing for his strike. Ready to dodge. I think not of Argosh's advantages, and my disadvantages, but of us as equals, as a fair fight.

(And blood, I am slo doing this as it is the only way to settle mine and Argos's quarrel)

I already dodged his attack before it hit place. "No the honour is mine." I make a dragons claw strike. Which works as following: first i make a clawlike pose of my ands then i walk to him and when i am at almost 3 meters away from him i rush to him and try to block any of his defensive attacks or parrys and i aim for the face. With my suupernatural reflexes this only happens in almost 5 seconds.

(I imagined him speaking all teary eyed, like a true salamander. But any way shas yeah your gonna get your skull caved in)

No i am talking proud and tall as a true believer in the emporer with hate to the xenos kind who proved again to him that they are not to be trusted.

I see the attack comign lightning fast, I roll out of the way just before Argosh is upon me, but it is a rushed roll, and I lad on the floor, breathing heavily, I get up, memorising Argosh's attack for the future, and get my battle stance back.

(Jeez, can you stop this whole "Tau cannot be trusted" thing, as I did not order your fuckin death nocturnem... jeeeez...)

Before your back up i am already standing over him i take him by his neck in an suppocative stance but keeping in mind i dont kill him

(OOC Just continue fighting.)

I know but that is my character he saw his friends got shot to pieces wow that is an positive morale boost towards tau XD

"No."

I remember my parents' death, and realise that this is for the. I have never fought a Space Marine before, but I have to be strong, inside.

I bring my arms up around and do a lightning fast jab to the neck. Then when he is taken by surprise, and his grip weakens, I break free, roll behind him, jab his neck in the same place as before, twice. He grunts in pain, and I put my foot in front of his leg, and use his own strength against him, by flooring him.

Before i hit the ground i roll forward and land on my feet defensive stance. "You realise i could have killed you by now. But i want to give you a second chance. As i see you have the warriors will." I ready myself to his attack going to block it and take his arm or leg in an blockade by my hand and then i counter him by giving him an punch to the head

I stumble back, but regain my sstance quickly, and let Argosh charge forwards for the killing blow, I roll to the right, just as he is upon me, and let him smash into the wall. Then, lightning fast, I grab him by the neck, and using all my strength smash his head into the wall, and lat him fall to the ground.

Then, I go for his neck.

(Blood, you should really just decide who wins. Me, the skillful one, or him, the strong one )

No because now i am gonna use my reflexes. I block it stand up and do a mayor combo going for his weak spots not to much power but fast then i take him by the neck taking his arms behind his back.
"You may chose die and honour the tradition or live and live as an outcast marked by shame. That is the choice the nocturneans give their opponents in the drakes dance our name of the alscarra

(OOC I'll decide who wins after a bit more fighting.)

(nocturne that is what is called godding, the GM should decide who wins in a player vs. player fight, isn't that right blood)

(That's better)

I move forward to the stumbling Argosh, and get his neck's pressure point hard.

Ok sorry but still my previous combo counts i hope because i used my reflexes to overcome his attack to my throat.
