Tarin, the hero

the wizard and thief you play

Tarin, the hero: a wizard and a thief, from the owner's concept sheets, rendered in the PC software. Every clip below was re-rendered on 2026-10-18 from main (0b87d1ed1). New since the last page: the hits, the knockdown, the pin and the deaths now play his own body, with the cloak and braid simulated through them, and there are heavy hits from three sides, a light hit and the third death (to the knees). Empty gloved hands: fingers, wrists and arms do the acting. WHAT IS WEAK, said plainly: the casts are still arms and hands only, the body under them barely moves; the ground pound's drop is short; the charge holds reads flat from this camera; no attack has a swoosh trail yet. MISSING, left off rather than shown bare: the swim, the ledge hang and climb, the wall kick, the slope slide, the ride, the stake pull, the mine swing and the talking face reel. Every combat number is a placeholder. The previous pass is on the archive page.

how he moves how he fights how he casts how he is hurt
At rest and alive: breath, weight shifts, a look around, the hands never quite still
The walk, four cycles
The run: the cloak trails and beats with the stride
A cast thrown without breaking the run
A full run turned on its heel
The run stopped dead, the cloak swinging through
Down into a slide out of the run, a beat held in the crouch, then up
A standing jump
The jump out of a run
The second jump taken in the air
Three jumps in rhythm, the third a somersault
Crouch, a tucked backward rotation, a landing with the arms out
The turn-around jump: a sideways somersault out of a reversed run
Low and far out of a crouched run
A headlong dive, a slide on the belly, and up
A wind-up turn in the air, then straight down
The flight spell: climbing and diving with the body's pitch, the cloak streaming
A right hook from the hip, the weight landing on the front foot
Attack, attack: the hook, then a left cross with the right foot stepping through (filmed from the other three-quarter so the cross shows)
The third hit: both fists overhead on the toes, then a hammer blow, bent low
Coiled low, then a rising uppercut up through the legs
A spinning backfist, one full turn
Out of the run: a long low palm thrust, the other arm thrown back
A flat streak with both arms swept back, then the arms thrown open
A shoulder barge, side-on, the arm folded across the chest
He drops under the blow side-on and comes up watching
Wound over the back foot with the fist cocked at the ear, then a wide forehand that lets everything go
The full charge: both hands thrown high, then torn down and apart to the ground
From the crouch: down on one bent leg, the other thrown out flat, one turn
A flying kick, tucked and then shot out
The end of the air string: a forward somersault into a double hammer
Arched back with both fists overhead, a hammer down with the knees up, a landing on one fist
A fist punched at the sky, a full forward somersault into the hammer, the same landing
