Travis stumbled as Eragon knocked his weapon aside allowing him to roll back and barely dodge Eragon's retaliation. "Wow, you're a lot stronger than you look. Guess this'll be fun after all." Travis ran at Eragon again and quickly slashed twice at his chest.
"So, you've failed."
"Mr. Mordreth, please. It wasn't my fault. Those idiots the commissioner gave me were barely worth the time it took to call them. Please," The man, got on his knees, "Give me another chance."
Padan Fain had arrived in the city shortly after learning that Cauthon was supposed to be there. He thought about the man's plea for a moment. "No." He said, slashing at the man's hand with his dagger. He drew back, but the damage was done. Quickly a black rot took hold on his hand and spread. Within moments he was dead, and the corruption had taken over more than half his body. Just behind him, the Myrdraal watched silently. Fear wasn't a common expression on the eyeless face of a Myrdraal, but that was the unmistakable expression the thing donned every time Fain looked at it. "You had best do better than he did."
Elsewhere:
Mat was impressed. Eragon fought, and fought well. He might be the best fighter he had seen, perhaps even better than Lan or Rand. Mat wondered briefly if he could win in a bout against Eragon. Part of him wanted to find out, but most of him knew that was a bad idea. The last time he had fought in a practice bout he had almost killed his two opponents. No, if he fought Eragon, it would only be to the death. "Tai'shar asha'man." he said softly.

OoC: I remembered I wanted to point this out... world_of_dragons used the Joe's portals without him going through with him twice... TECHNICALLY that can't happen as Joe must go through to activate the portal, I've been thinking of how to explain all of Joe's abilities so far. And pretty much got an explanation for all of them...
Eragon dodged the first blow and then the second. Travis was certainly...good, a little rough and haphazard but good all the same. He swung for Travis who dodged, he swung again, dodged he continued in this manner gradually building up speed slashing and dancing around Travis.

Is it just me or is this guy getting faster? If I just keep dodging like this he's gonna make me regret it I'm sure.
Travis dodged Eragon's latest swing by rolling backwards. As Eragon moved forward to strike again Travis made an upward swing out of his roll attempting to catch Eragon as he dashed in for another attack.

Eragon saw the attack not a second too soon and turned his attack into a flowing movement around the swing. As he passed Travis he spun and hit him across the hip. His footsteps carried him around and facing the man once more he waited for him to attack again. Unlike the fight with Upsilon, which Eragon was sure the suited man had taken further than a simple sparring match and to Eragon's glum admittance so had he, Eragon had been enjoying this one far more. His opponent was more conventional and Eragon was confident this fight would be less hairy than the previous. Those soldiers were trouble.
Travis' arsenal of blows wan't as limited as he thought. Eragon dodged and parried the beam sword before shifting styles. He held his weapon in two hands, possible due to its hand-and-a-half design, which allowed him to wield it effectively in both one hand and two hands. WIth two hands on his sword Eragon had soem serious power behind his hits and his parries were more fluid and deliberate, casting aside attacks to open up Travis' defenses and strike at these openings with greater force.

Eragon was turning aside Travis's attacks and striking back with greater force than ever.
Damn. This guy is a lot better than I thought, but I've still got some tricks up my sleeve.
As Eragon countered one of Travis's strikes with a vertical slash, Travis dodged to the side. "Gotcha now, Dark-step." Travis moved with incredible speed as time seemed to slow down for him. He struck at Eragon's side with an imperceptibly fast series of slashes, several hitting Eragon before he could possibly react.

Caught off guard. Now that was rare for Eragon. Travis' burst of speed came completely from nowhere and had allowed Travis to score some hits on Eragon. As fast as Eragon was his sword could only ward off so many hits at short notice. Eragon however was not spent yet. He redoubled his own attacks, careful not to go over the limits he had set himself for sparring a human. Instead of reacting and countering blows Eragon went on the attack. He moved with inhuman speed suddenly, rather than building up speed as before. When Travis swung Eragon cut off the attack early rather than block it and riposte. "I must admit you are better than I thought, slightly similar to Upsilon in speed and unorthadoxy." Eragon said before resuming his unrelenting attack. He tried to force a surrender from Travis by blocking his actions, not allowing a single dodge or strike get further than he would allow all the while his eyes open in case Travis tried that suprising speed again, he would not allow himself to be struck again.
"I gotta admit I that take as high praise coming from someone as good as you. Not sure how I like being compared to that crazy guy in the suit though." Travis said as he tried to hide the fact that he was struggling under Eragon's assault.
This guys just keeps getting stronger and faster. Time to pull out the big guns, Calgary style.
Travis dodged a massive swing from Eragon and delivered a back-hand strike to Eragon's chest. With Eragon momentarily stunned Travis swung behind him and grabbed him, pinning Eragon's arms to his side. Travis then bent backwards and slammed Eragon to the ground in a German Suplex.

Ow. That hurt and once again caught Eragon off guard. Eragon thought that this was enough for now. He stood up off the ground, scratching his head and "Full of suprises Travis Touchdown. I think this would be a reasonable time to end our duel." Travis continued to swing however. "Letta!" Eragon barked, stopping the man in place with magic. "I have suprises of my own. Well fought Travis, yet another exemplary swordsman I have encountered in this world." He released the spell and let Travis realise what had happened before sitting down to channel some more energy into Brisingr while he had some to spare.
"Damn you're good. It's been far too long since I fought anyone even approaching your kind of skill. I was almost afraid I might be getting rusty." Travis powers down his sword and clips it back to his belt. "I'm gonna go apologize to those guys in the restaurant. Maybe They'll still be willing to serve me pie some if I do." Travis heads back into the nearby restaurant and starts making apologies and greasing palms.
OOC: That's it for me for tonight. Goodbye for now guys.

After setting as much energy as he dared within the stone set in the pommel of Brisingr and fighting two difficult opponents without Saphira's or Glaedr's help had tired him drastically. He bade farewell to those here for now and left to find a place to lay his bedroll. Saphira was on his mind as usual.
OOC: I'm off to bed.
OOC: I'm off to bed.
Now what to do... we could have a duel? or do something else, or even finally explain many of Joe's powers?
OOC: Joe wants to learn to use a sword good right? I could teach him? Not actually teach you anything mind you, just for pretend.
