Deed

A task from the teacher. Win the third rung of the Glima Ladder: three falls against the ring-warden. A body you can't throw you can't swing.

What it does

Seize by Collar Grip's rules (S or M), then spin with the body: 1.5 turns in 0.6 s, its body swung at 1 tile. Every foe its legs pass within 1.6 tiles of you takes 1.6 x roll and 15 poise and is knocked 1.5 tiles outward (once each per Swing; Hard Ground for them). Then you let it go toward the cursor: S 4.5 tiles, M 3, landing for 2.8 x roll and 30 poise, down 1.0 s (S) or 0.6 s (M), Hard Ground on its flight. You can't be knocked back while spinning but you can be hit. From another hold the spin starts at once for 20 stamina.

Edge: Wide Swing

The sweep reaches 2.0 tiles.
