anywho he expects it and raises his shield and it is blocked, but the javelin in his shield forces him to discard it

OK, I'm forgetful. Don't make fun of that.

OK, back to the battle:

I raise my gladius and buckler and advance. If he fights back, try to block. If he doesn't, point the gladius at his throat and look for the governor's decision.

yeha he DEFINITELY won't fight back

as you approach he jabs with his lance you barely manage to block (lances and spears are good against bucklers along with arrows)

you use your spatha to knock away his spear, but as you do a rather forceful (crit) blow to him he raises his shield which you split down the middle but now it's stuck
