Hmm, maybe there ought to be a sort of an award here for the person who gives the most whacks to a single person...
Blademaster, our duel may have gone to the forest, but little do you know I have the strength to push this petrified tree off me. And so I do, and throw each piece at your blade, even though I watch them all shatter, I fool you by making you think the last one is headed for your blade...instead, it's heading for your feet...and your sword does little against the "low blow" on the ground.
Meh, long whacks definitely can be creative here, but this is yet another whack for you, Blademaster.
