Salazar's Rogues [Mods, please lock.]

[C a s]

Dear roleplayers,

AshClan will be closing effective immediately, as will Salazar's Rogues and the forming SkyClan. Thank you all for a wonderful time. I'll miss each and every one of you, and I hope to see you all around. None of the three will be remade, unless Star decided she would like to keep up SkyClan.

T E C H N I Q U E S:
Back Kick - Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, then lash out with your back legs, taking all weight on your front paws.

Belly Rake - A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws against the soft flesh of the opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back into control.

Front Paw Blow - Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.

Front Paw Strike/Forepaw Slash - Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the face or body of your opponent.

Killing Bite - A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.

Leap-and-hold - Ideal for a small cat facing a larger opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of the opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. Watch for the drop-and-roll counter move, and try to jump free before you get squashed.

Partner Fighting - Warriors who have trained and fought together will often fall instinctively into a defensive position, each protecting each other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.

Play Dead - Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes his/her grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in attacking position.

Scruff Shake - Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponents neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, who are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.

Tail Yank - Grab your opponent's tail and yank it with such force your opponent is thrown off balance.

Teeth Grip - Target your opponent's extremities- the legs, tail, scruff or ears- and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.

Upright Lock - Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so it takes great strength and speed.

Half-Turn Belly Rake - Turn onto your side, slip under the opponent's belly, rake it with your claws, then swiftly turn back onto all fours out from under your opponent.

Badger Defense: Leap over opponent, turn on your back legs and bite opponent's leg. Used only when fighting badgers.
Duck and Twist: Simple defensive move. The cat ducks then twists around, rolling over onto his/her back, and then springs to their paws.

Jump and pin: Complicated move. Leap backwards, and bounce off the wall. With precise accuracy, land on the cat.

T A I L | S I G N A L S

Blade;

Blade padded up beside Salazar. "What are we going to do, now that your second in command... failed to show enough strength to win that battle?"

"Now I pick a new one and move on." He mewed, while Brechin choked back a sob. He padded into camp and jumped up above his den. "Sgorr is dead."

Blade sighed and settled below, where the cats would usually sit, head tilted upward to look at his leader.

[Cradily]

(^^)

Jad paced around camp restlessly, whipping around to look over his shoulder every now and then as if anticipating someone to jump out and attack him at any moment. He swiveled his ears to catch the conversation between Salazar and...who? That was most certainly an unfamiliar voice. He stiffened and his fur bushed up so much that he looked like a sheep. Within seconds, he was standing in front of the strange black tom, teeth bared and claws unsheathed. "Who...are you?" he asked. His bright golden eyes stretched wide with a mixture of hostility and anxiety. His face was barely a whisker-length away from Blade's. He twitched his ears in acknowledgement to Salazar's announcement but didn't turn his gaze away from the newcomer.
