As the gong rang out the two figures rushed towards each other, they were both melee fighters so it did them no good to stay at range. Tyre naturally moved slower than his opponent due to his heavy armour, but he was by no means slow.
When almost in range Tyre's figure suddenly blurred before it shot forward with impressive speed. Wanuxa however, seemed to have been expecting such a move and easily sidestepped the charge. He did not expect the concussive impact that resulted with Tyre's hammer slammed down on the spot he just vacated.
Wanuxa was nearly knocked down from the impact yet he managed to turn his stumble into a roll to avoid the follow up shield bash from his dwarves foe. Tyre did not chase him this time, resetting his stance and raising his shield till only his eyes poked over the top, his hammer held at the ready by his side.
