Kerag huddled with his fellow recruits, he whispered back.
"One good suggestion is to keep her on her toes the entire time, do not give her a moment's respite."
The orc looked down to Tallia.
"Not sure how you want to approach this, Gray's tactic during one of our training bouts worked rather well..." He paused, "No kissing this time though. Give the Captain everything you've got."
He turned his head to Venom.
"Only weakness I'm aware of is speed. She's carrying a war-hammer and wearing heavy guard armor. Won't be able to dodge all of us, so chances are she'll try to keep us back with her weapon. I won't be using my edged weapons for this fight, don't want to chance any fatal injuries. And besides..."
Kerag cracked his knuckles.
"I'll move a bit faster without lugging that damn axe. My plan is to grab her while you two deal the punishment, might throw my own licks in, but I'm going to try to use my strengths to their full advantage. What do you think Brother Venom?"
Venom nodded the entire time, taking in all the information Kerag was giving them. Once Kerag finished talking, he rubbed his chin and then whispered to each one in their ear.
Tallia nodded her head excitedly. Finally, another turn to show them what she could do. She prepared herself by slowly placing herself closer to the ground, one hand reaching for it and the other close to her sword. Exhaling calmly, her pupils thinned as her concentration increased.

Kerag grinned, his blood already pumping. How exciting this was! He gave a thumbs up, setting both the axe and Amaranth on the ground and away from their match. The orc cracked his knuckles and took deep steady breaths, stepping a few feet, close to Tallia. He said nothing more, and patted Venom on the shoulder as a signal to begin.
Venom nodded to the two and took a few steps away from them. He began to hop a few times, moving his head to the left and right, before taking out his katana.
Okay Captain! Let's see what you're made of! Just you and me right now!
Venom began to jog at a slow pace to the right, coming around to make a curve to make it behind her, cutting the ground with his blade dust began to pick up. As he got closer he began to make a roaring sound and picked up his pace, running at full speed at Marg.
TAKE THIS!!
Once in range he jumps at her, spinning his blade around to where the butt end was facing forward, and tries to land a blow to where her kneck meets her shoulder at full strength.
Margrett turned her head slightly and took a single step back. The butt end of the sword went past her neck and she raised her leg, kneeing Venom in the gut as he missed and fell to the ground in front of her.
She didn't turn around, but nudged Venom away from her with her foot as if kicking away some trash.

Kerag watched Venom and only shook his head. He gave a confirming glance at Tallia before bursting into a full sprint at Margrett from behind, his armor clanking as his massive bulk quickly closed the distance between them. For an older orc, Kerag's fitness, strength and speed were considerable.
"Cm'here and gimme a hug Captain!"
Kerag growled, his arms wide hands outstretched. He intended to slip his arms underneath Margrett and lock them, restraining her.

As though Kerag's shadow double, Tallia suddenly leapt from behind him, completely concealed by his mass. Using Kerag's shoulders for support (she let slip a quick "sorry" as she climbed upon him), she boosted herself higher into the air, jumping over Margrett, then landing behind and quickly sweeping through her and Kerag's legs, hopefully knocking Margrett off-balance while Kerag pins her down...
Venom rolls as he is pushed away from his opponent. He gasps for air but still manages to grin upon seeing Kerag and Tallia attack. He gets on one knee, still trying to take in air, and takes this time to regain strength. His eyes stare at Margrett. She is pretty fast, at least faster than he expected.
Margrett let Kerag grab her, but when Tallia jump over her she brought up her own legs before Tallia could kick them out, kicking Tallia away and letting her full weight fall on Kerag as his legs were swept from under him.

Kerag fell back with an audible oomph and a loud thud and clanking of armor. He winced, but kept his arms wrapped around the Captain, squeezing her tighter and tighter, putting all of his strength into the bear hug but he groaned all the while, somehow managing to smirk at the Captain.
"Didn't realize you were this heavy Captain."

Venom saw his oportunity. He stumbled quickly trying to get on his feet and then charged towards them. Sword now facing forward, Venom runs to Kerag's side, away from Marg's legs, and places his blade at Marg's throat. With a confident sound to his voice he says...
She looked up at him, smirking, then looked back to Kerag.
Heavy, hmm?
She threw her weight to the side away from Venom, letting her legs move her and roll onto her front and pulling herself to her knees. Kerag's grip now shifted up her chest near her neck, she reached up and dug her thumbs into the pressure points on his elbows, trying to throw him off.
