So, I finally managed to read the entries.
Your story was good. The fight was solid, and you did a pretty good job at showing off the military side of your opponent's character. I was able to get a good feel for Rykosar's personality and combat style, though at times he seemed just a bit too, well, jovial about some of the damage he took. I'd think somebody would feel a bit less than perky at having half their face torn off. Then again, his sanity is questionable at best.
Now, I do have some complaints. For one, you had Torvin shoot Rykosar to start off with, and showed him as being quite adept military-wise. If he realized that shooting somewhere with bones was ineffective, why wouldn't he at least take one shot at a place without bones? Of course, it could be argued that it was in the heat of the moment, but he is militarily trained, so it's a bit questionable. Next, I did notice you misspelled "soldier" as "solider" at one point. There were also points in the story where I started to drift off. It may have been because you use a lot of details, or it may have been because certain parts dragged on a bit. It was still a good piece, but it seemed you were just trying to expand something short, honestly.
Your story was rather entertaining. It was nice seeing your character's annoyance at the prospect of the battle, and his growing fear and agitation as the battle actually began and carried on. It felt more human that way. I think you, for the most part, captured Rykosar's personality, and the fact that you made the battle unarmed and therefore on (supposedly) even grounds gives you a certain underdog appeal.
Now, onto complaints. Torvin seemed to take a good deal of damage before wising up to anything regarding Rykosar. He heard the metallic ting when he walked, could've noticed the lack of movement, and after hitting him, it most likely would've been apparent to him that hitting areas with little meat over the bone would be a bad idea. But he kept hitting him. From the front no less. Wouldn't it have made sense for him to try getting behind his opponent? But, in the end, they're really more just questions on his tactics. The story overall was pretty appealing.
Now, I have only one question that has been constantly nagging at me, and Kyra, it's aimed towards you: How in the world does Rykosar use his metal arm and leg for combat? Considering their weight and his old age, it's kind of confusing. This isn't a question of support, as I'm sure his metallic skeletal system is what keeps his body from falling under the arm's weight. But considering the fact that he can't move very fast, and one of his legs ISN'T made of metal, the problem occurs in using them for strikes. Wouldn't the arm, when swung, send his entire body in the direction along with it, as the weight would draw him along into tipping? And when kicking with the leg, wouldn't the same thing occur? I mean, it just seems strange to me that he can effectively throw them around without the force throwing HIM around.
