The spear is difficult to parry with and as a result Arlo is able to hit you before you can hit him. He sends you back a few feet setting you off balance. He spins around attempting to sweep your legs, you manage to jump back in time and are just able to avoid his blow, but it makes you get off balance. He then goes lunges again with the spear, you're ready to avoid the blow this time, but it turns out to be a feint and hits you with the spear like he would a staff. You fall to the ground hard but manage to quickly get back up.
Arlo grins, "Not bad captain, Not bad at all."
Before you can continue, Redford interrupts and says he needs to speak to you. You nod and leave the sparring session.
