This was one of those OHSHIT moments, though not nearly as bad as Seth would think. He'd stop mid-air and take a plummet, but this would change Jurie's actions all together since he was falling far before the knee got to him. After all, she wasn't far away and if he already made his descent as she was going up she'd only be raising her knee a bit at that point. Mechanics aside though, the knee would stop before it really came into its full potential, leaving the girl mid-air with a bit of an awkward bend with her knee. All the same... Seth wasn't escaping untouched this time.
With that bit of momentum and a slight raise to that leg, the blacksmith would kick down into Seth's knee as she came by. Admittedly It wouldn't do much harm, but it would make his land even sloppier than anticipated if it shot off right. All the same her arms were crossed in front of her chest in ramming position and she already had a good guess at what he was going to do next, repeated tricks and such. So by simply arching herself back a bit after the kick popped across the knee she'd pull her guard in a bit to keep any serious damage from making impact, leaving the single blast of air to skim across her front as he hit the ground.
No real damage done, but a bit of a startle ran over her to say the least, as she'd take in a bit of breath when hitting the ground in a bit of a roll before popping back up in one fluid swing. But she wasn't about to end the attack now, as she'd slip another large rock within her hand as she made her dash to close the distance between her and Mister Rowan all the while.
"Don't let up now Mister Rowan! I'm not making it that easy!"

With the kicking having met its mark, it wouldn't do any real damage but it would hurt and slow down his course of actions. In the end though, Seth would still go into his roll backwards and up to his feet. Hearing her comment he shifted a little. "You are better then I thought. I'll have to step it up a little bit." With that Seth seemed to just stand there but in fact he was starting up his air bubble. Without expending to much power he would only go a foot and a half out and start with a one percent change in the air making it a little bit thinner. For now though he won't make a real move.

The distance would close in but a soft moment, enough time for him to do what he needed for his little bubble trick, or whatever it was he was performing. All the same Jurie would take note of any noticeable changes, her eyes keeping wide n' open for any strong body movement from Seth.
Now was where the fun began.Mists of Creation A means of releasing the heat generated from the forge ability. This heat is released as a cloud of steam from Jurie's body, much like one would see when heated iron is plunged into water to cool and is passively activated after the forge ability, though the heat can be captured and released at a later time if chosen to do so. For each weapon forged a radius of 5 ft. becomes coated in a heavy fog for a single round of posts.

With his opponent moving in, Seth got on his guard more then what he was before. As soon as the steam like mist came flying off, Seth dropped his smile. A small whisper left his lips. "Damn.." At this point his mind only jumped to one thing. Smokescreen for an attack. The main reason for this is because, Seth has used smoke bombs in the past to cover his movements and attack. Not knowing what time he had, Seth wasn't going to wait. Using his powers and a little shift of weight, Seth flew to his left. He did this by blasting air out of both feet, but sending more from his right foot and less from his left foot forcing his body to move to the side.
Of course, while he acted fast it wouldn't be fast enough. While falling through the air a sharp pain was felt in his upper leg until he hit the ground and rolled. <********> He had no clue what he was hit by, but all he knew was he would probably have a bruise there at least. However, now wasn't the time to be worrying about that kind of stuff.
Looking back to where he was, he would catch sight of movement in the steam for just a second. If didn't seem like a random breeze so he could only assume that it was his opponent. Pushing off the ground Seth would close the few feet between him and where he assumed his opponent was. Opening both fans up, he slashed in a diagonal motion with the sharp ends of his fans hoping to cut up the girl a little bit.

Sparks would light in the depths of the fog as it finally began to clear and a dual trial of blood streaks would brim across the edge of each of Seth's fans. He struck something hard, more than likely metal, and his motions would carry through, pushing the object downward with his slice. If Seth was careful enough to keep an eye on this he'd notice the cross-shaped scar he'd etched into Jurie's gauntlet, the one she'd stabbed forward with, only a split moment before he'd possibly see a rather potent thrust punch shooting through the mist towards his gut, just a few inches below the sternum.
He closed the distance and bought the bait, more than she could've hoped for.
The blacksmith's pain-stricken face could be seen through the clearing fog now and her body would now be facing her opponent. She could only be thankful for the metal wrapped about her hands at this time, thin as it was, for it significantly lessened the impact of the attack, dimming the damage down to a mere dip within her forearm. All the same she'd throw in a bit of torque with her blow to return the little number Seth gave her across her arm which would now be prepared to snap out at the opposition at a moments notice while her eyes kept focus on the opponent's upper-body movement.
'Now Mister Rowan...' She thought to herself with a weak smile, the adrenaline rushing through her veins like a made wave of anger and pain. 'Now is where our fight truly begins.'

Seth would smile when his fans seemed to hit something but something didn't feel right. It wasn't really flesh, but with the mist still around it was hard to tell. Next thing Seth knew, was there was a sharp pain coming from his gut. Engaging in the reaction to being punch in the gut, his upper body would start to bend over. However, he would still keep most of his breath thanks to his power keeping air in his lungs.
As his opponent would start to pull her arm back from the punch, Seth would start to lift his upper body up. With his fans down kind of low from both his last attack and the punch, as he came up, he tried to pulled one of his fans along her arm that she attacked with trying to cut it again. Hopefully she wouldn't be coming in with another attack right after that one, because when Seth would straighten out his body he would take a few steps back Trying to full regain from that punch.

There it was, his upper-arms moving up for the recovery. Her smile would dim further as the adrenaline of the moment smashed into her like a ton of bricks, her face taking on a loose, lax tone as her hands smacked down into his forearms just a bit below the elbow. Of course there wouldn't be a ton of power in this motion and he wouldn't feel an ounce of pain, but hopefully it would be enough to keep those arms of his from swinging upward with that attack.
All the same she wasn't about to let him retreat, not so soon.
As soon as those hands came into contact with the intended mark she'd furl herself forward, aiming to toss in a rather nasty headbutt straight into the bridge of the poor guy's nose. She wasn't about to give him time to recover, not if the blacksmith had a single word to say about it. After all...
Giving anything less than her all would be an insult to Mister Rowan, and insults were something she tried to keep to a bare minimum if at all possible.

Seth would see the hands coming down at him, but because he was still recovering from the punch there was little he could do in terms of dodging the hands. The hands slammed into his arms stopping them and seeing the head coming in, Seth wasn't smiling. Arching his back a little bit to try and give his some time, Seth took in a quick breath. Just as her head was about to connect, Seth would do the unthinkable.
HE WOULD SPIT AT HER EYE! And not just any spirit but a sped up one. That was what sucking the air in was for. He used his powers to speed up the small ball of nasty stuff. It probably wouldn't keep her from doing the headbutt but hopefully it would help. More than likely Seth would be coming out of this with a broken nose but that wasn't going to stop him. With his hands at about her stomach level, Seth fired off a small blast of air to hopefully push her back, knock a little wind out of her, or both. This would still happen either way with but it would probably be a little weaker if the headbutt hit.

Oh yeah, he was going to hear a bit of a crack on that one when her forehead connected, likely causing that nose to break in a few places with that doubled up strength of hers. All the same...
SPLAT!!!
That spit would hit her square in her right eye, causing a rather disgusted and unruly assortment of sounds from the blacksmith which, in its own right, was mixed with uncomfortable groans from the super loogie she had caught up in her face. And true to her more feminine nature she let her cleanliness get the best of her, shooting her hands up to her face to rub the disgusting gunk from her eyes, leaving her stomach wide open for that bit of air to come blasting into her gut.
She'd stumble back, clenching her eye shut nice and tight as she stumbled back a few paces, her expressions far, far less enticed since the beginning of the match. And despite the rather potent pain whirling in her gut and the throb ringing in her head she fought through it all to wipe away all that nasty crap lingering in her eye.
Truth be told, no amount of scrubbing would ever make the blacksmith's eye feel clean again.
"GROSS GROSS GROOOOOOSSSSS!!!" She screamed out despite her pain, the overwhelming since of nausia setting in just a tiny bit before she batted it all back. "UGH!!! YOU ARE SO UNKIND MISTER ROWAN!!! SO UNKIND!!!"
Oh dear... He really pushed a button he was going to regret here in the next few moments, as the blacksmith hated more than anything 'dirty' fighting in every aspect of the word. All the same he would have time to recover and regret it all the more later, as she'd be coming around with but a few moments after getting as much of that nasty gunk out of her eyes as possible.

Seth's planned seemed to work a little bit, but of course for the first little bit of the gross out Seth was a little busy. After all his nose was just broken pretty good and blood was now running down his face. He looked over at Jurie and smiled, even though he was still in pain. I've got to push pass this pain and take this time to try and end it.. He thought to himself.
Getting the strength back in his legs that he needed, Seth pushed off the ground running for the blacksmith. By this time, she would just be getting done with the third and final long gross. As he ran Seth dropped the fan in his right hand, and ran that hand along his blood covered mouth collecting it in his hand. Thrusting that hand forward a blast of wind came off, sending the blood that he wiped off flying at the ladies face. This was of course just a distraction.
With his left hand that still held his second fan, it hung behind him a little bit. If someone could see it, they would see a small blueish swirl around it. Seth was using his power to collect not only the wind that he was making but the air from his bubble. There was no point in keeping it up so he might as well use it. With about three feet left to go, Seth hit the breaks and went sliding on the ground. Using this momentum he brought his left hand forward. All of the collected air was now in the ball as big as a large beach ball. When his arm stopped moving the condensed ball of air would go flying off heading right for the opponents mid section. Of course Seth would readjust if the opponent didn't change to much if she saw the blood coming. After this Seth stayed there feeling tired. Not only from the constant use of his magic, but pain was still trying to push its way into his head. Hopefully the wind ball would deliver a pretty good hit to his opponent and sending her flying a bit.

One eye shut still left one to see what was going on and she'd catch him coming up to her from the distance they had. Of course by the last gross he'd be in range again and truth be told she'd be ready for him by then.
Blood didn't bother Jurie now, not since he'd just spit in her freaking eye! And really the distraction did little more than piss the girl off even more as he seemed to be intent on being a dirty fighter. But she had to put that aside for now and allow it to well within, as that blue bubble was already catching her attention. She'd stop rubbing her eyes as he came in for the charge, finishing somewhere mid-gross. And as he came closer, so would she.
The gap would close quickly, the two fighters moving towards each other like speeding bullets and as soon as Jurie caught the glimpse of his swing she'd start her plan of action. Those footsteps would rattle out in a thunderous roar as she launched herself to his right side in a dive, aiming to close the distance between the two as swiftly as possible as he made his swing. While this happened the woman was throwing all her weight to her front end with her arms crossed before her in ramming position, hoping to catch him in the gut with her elbow as she smashed into the opposition. Now were this to actually stop his attack or not... well... who could say? But there was sure as heck no way it could hit her torso now with her body barreling in like that.
A soft rattle rang throughout her head and she braced for a hard impact, expecting the bubble to be redirected at her lower-half somehow. Regardless of the outcome, this b*****d was going down and if she had to take a little rustle here n' there then so be it.

Seth watched as his opponent was now running at him. Seeing her take what seemed like a ramming position, there was little that Seth could do. Already stopped and bring his arm around, the best he could do was take the hit. Of course that didn't mean that he had to take all of the hit. While his arm was going to go straight out, he would curve it sending it in front of his chest between the two. He wouldn't have much time but hopefully this would work.
The second part of his plan would be to try and not stop the hit from happening. Instead, Seth would shift his weight back and keep his legs and body loose. Putting a little more of his energy into the ball he would wait till she hit him. When she did because of her speed and pump up ability, it would send Seth flying backwards. While it would hurt, making it easier for him to get knocked back would reduce some of the power. Now would come his attack.
The moment his feet left the ground, Seth would cause the orb to explode. This would release all of the energy that it was stored. Due to not enough time he would get hit by some of it too, but he tried to put most of the power to travel forward and hit his opponent. So between the ram attack and his he would go flying back, slamming into the ground and rolling a little bit. Hopefully for his opponent though she would suffer a broken bone or something either by the shear force hitting her, or her flying to the ground. Breathing a little hard Seth had a little trouble getting to his feet. This fight was starting to get to him but he couldn't back down. He tried to do his best to keep an eye on what happened to his opponent.

Elbow to the gut, check.
Explosion to her front, check.
Well all didn't go according to plan, but at least he was hitting her crossed guard with the explosion of power... but he made one huge mistake with this. This would cause the bubble's power to hit him much harder than anticipated, as she'd be ramming into the weapon AND him, pushing the bubble against the two. Now granted the explosion could be directed towards her... but this was towards something that was against his body.
Long explanation short, that power was going to bounce back into his body after hitting the blacksmith due to its position in relation to the opponent. And if the power was strong enough to do severe damage it was incredibly likely he'd feel a great amount of that to his gut.
Jurie would be thankful for those gauntlets later as they'd absorb a majority of the power, but all the same the sheer force of the exploding bubble was going to stop the blacksmith's dive and send her body jerking back in a bit of an awkward stumble, her body scrunching up against itself before her feet tripped across the ground and the force sent her shooting back with arms still crossed until her top went flipping backwards into a skim across the ground.
One flip later she'd be on her front, arms shaking and ears ringing and in a bit of a daze as she stared at the blur a nice little distance away, the crazy wind bender probably feeling about as rotten as she did from the whole ordeal. She had a few scrapes and some serious blunt trauma to her arms with a great amount of her hearing lost for the time being as well as her vision impaired, but hey...
She was awake and alive, for the most part a bit dazed with some strength lost in her hands, but due to her attributes being doubled and a majority of the blast blocked by the metal of her gauntlets she'd make it out alright.

Seth still had a little bit of trouble getting up. Scanning the area around him, he tried to see if he could see his opponent. There she was or at least he thought she was. With her being down for a moment, he could only hope she would stay down. Now would be the perfect time to attack. However, he was finding if hard to pull enough strength to step forward let alone attack. All he could really do was stand there.

Jurie's vision began to come clear, though the ring in her ears was still at a constant screech. She took a few moments to check her body a bit, finding it hard to really actually feel anything with those hands of hers. Nothing was broken, that much was good, though a lot of the strength in her arms would be sapped for another few moments as she slowly pressed herself up from the ground, her eyes fidgeting over Seth as he rose to his feet.
Good, he was a bit messed up too. Jurie couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as she allowed her body a moment to recuperate, those arms hanging loosely to her sides as she gathered her strength back up, wiping her right eye against her shoulder a few times to clear it up for good.
After a few moments she'd be ready again, her arms still shaky but a bit more stable than moments ago. For the most part they really felt numb, like someone just snapped those bastards back in an attempt to break em' off for good, but fortunately for the blacksmith she'd only suffer from some serious strain that would last throughout the rest of the fight. Were it not for the white mages at the medical tents she'd probably have trouble using them for a long time now, but that's for another time.
Jurie would take her time for a few paces to simply walk off the dull pain aching throughout her body as she trotted her way back over to her opponent, those eyes watching and waiting for him to yank out some more of those magic tricks for her to fidget with. He seemed a bit winded though... giving the blacksmith a bit of encouragement to press forth all the more as she'd cheer out to Seth with a bit of distaste in her tone.
"Don't think..." She'd heave out in a breath. "Don't think that you've won just yet... Mister Rowan..."
