[Dacorum]

Meanwhile, as Fakir and Espy get started, Dacorum is still locked in a series of clashes with Taishi. The ice is spreading over his armor, but he has the opportunity to return to his feet now -- which he does by quickly flipping over and then kicking his feet to leap to a standing position.

The two combatants stare each other down for a moment, then Dacorum seizes the initiative, charging in, glaive raised... but instead of swinging the glaive, he deactivates the blade, plants the pommel into the ground, and kicks off sideways, pivoting around with a sweeping circular kick.
