You violated the rules in both of your posts, thus you lost 8 points for such. (-3 for the first offense, -5 for the second).
First violation (first post): Half hits listed are too close to severity to those of full hits. They must be notably different, with the half hit being less extreme.
• Shattering a bone vs breaking it in half is too similar. An injury such as a sprain would have been a good half-hit.
• Damage is too similar for the first attack to the eyes/maw. Both full and half puncture an eye in some manner. Based on your wording as well, it seems as if the dislocation was only the case for a half hit? Therefore, damage from the half hit is greater than that of the full, thus violating the rules. If that dislocation had also counted for a full hit, the damage between a full and a half are still too similar. A half-hit I would have suggested is Irina’s top teeth digging into the top of Hecate’s maw (missing the eyes) and then the dislocation (which is how Hecate received the attack).
Second violation (second post): Half hits listed are too close in severity to those of full hits. They must be notably different, with the half hit being less extreme.
• Again, regarding the attempt to the eyes/maw/jaw. The damage is too similar for the full hit and half hit. Another potential half hit could be scraping the cheek of the opponent.
Now, technically, I could give a third violation, as your first post had two different instances of the same nature. However, because they were of the same nature, I combined them into one violation. So just on violations alone, if I had counted them as three, you would have lost 18 points. Irina’s injuries would make it into the negatives.
I also want to comment on the realism of Irina’s injuries and the attacks that were executed. As in my comments of the last challenge, Irina sustained some pretty nasty injuries to the point of already having a high mortality rate. Realistically, she would have died in this combat, particularly when two more ribs were broken by Hecate. She very likely would have had a punctured lung after this attack, not been able to breathe, and then die. You must also take into account Irina’s capabilities with the injuries as she sustains them. While our combat system is not hyper realistic, there is not much a wolf can do with total blindness, a dislocated jaw, several broken and exposed ribs, and a broken leg. Their aim would be off, they wouldn’t really be able to bite, they would risk puncturing their lung, walking/lunging would become difficult, etc.
I hope you have been able to learn a few things from these combats.
Damage:
Full hit: Two more broken ribs. Heal time increased from 2-3 months from last combat to 3-4 months in this one. Punctured lung very likely to happen. (-5 POINTS)
Half hit: Left front leg fractured. 6-12 weeks to heal, likely to heal deformed. (-5 POINTS)
Half hit: Shredded/severed nerves, tendons, and skin towards hind leg from teeth. About 4-6 heal time for scars themselves, however, shredded nerves and tendons will ultimately cause trouble with her back leg the rest of her life. Recovery time is about 9-12 months for function, however, nerve function will not come back much. (-3 POINTS)

You’ve done battle plenty of times. Thank you for considering the realism of injuries into your posts.
Damage:
Full hit: Back left leg shattered. 6-12 weeks to heal, likely to heal deformed (-5 POINTS)
Half hit: Dislocated jaw and minor cuts to the face. Jaw will take 2-3 months to heal and will likely heal deformed. The minor scratches on the maw will take no more than a month to heal. (-5 POINTS FOR JAW, -3 FOR SCRAPES)
Half hit: Burns/lacerations to front left leg from lightning. Nerve damage in leg. Nerve function will not recover much. Burns will take about a month to heal. (-3 POINTS)
CONCLUSION
The winner is Hecate with 4 points. Irina’s score was -1. In the newest judging system, the player/wolf with the highest score is victorious.
I understand that Nadia will use points to heal Irina after battle, but as I mentioned in her comments, the injuries Irina sustained are very severe and she would have died on the battlefield.
