Joust R3: Lord Baelon Drakeson vs. Ser Gerion Deddings

[Baelon Drakeson]

Baeon lined up across from his third opponent, a knight of House Deddings, bearing a sigil of two roundels counterchanged on a field divided per pale red and blue. Baelon was not exactly an expert at heraldry, but he was fairly sure that was not the sigil of House Deddings - perhaps this knight was of a lesser branch.

[OOC of course I pick a house with unknown heraldry. Hooray for making something up and justifying it IC!

Ser Gerion wasn't particularly happy about who he'd drawn in the lists. If I was facing a lesser lord or knight I might have a chance but to defeat Baelon I'll need a bit of luck. Ser Gerion didn't know if the Warrior was listening but he was definitely praying to him before the start of the tilt. Gerion saluted Lord Baelon and lowered his visor.

Ser Gerion knew of Baelon's skill so he braced himself for the inevitable impact against his shield.

[OOC: thanks for stepping up on these; with all the melee goings on I completely forgot about them.]

Lord Baelon saluted his opponent and lowered his visor. Taking a balanced stance, Ser Gerion's lance shatters against his shield, but does no harm. Baelon's lance, on the other hand, strikes his foe fiercely. Ser Gerion

Ser Gerion's lance shattered against Lord Drakeson's shield but otherwise there was no effect. The same could not be said for Baelon's strike. While Gerion easily maintained his balance on his horse the lance strike nearly knocked the wind out of him and his shield arm felt like pudding. Another blow like that and I'll be done. I just need a little time to catch my breath.

Taking a fresh lance Gerion willed his arm to hold his shield high in an attempt to deflect the force of Baelon's upcoming strike.

[Baelon Drakeson]

Ser Gerion's stance proved to be the correct choice, as Baelon chose to rise in the saddle for extra effect; it was only Ser Gerion's defensiveness that prevented a truly devastating blow.

[ooc]Are KoQs allowed to take injuries or is that for named NC and PCs only?[/ooc]

[Baelon Drakeson]

[ooc at my tourney I said no, others said they should... so I assumed so.]

[Jon Templeton]

[ooc]I'm going with a no to injuries (since Loreia presumed no) until Coldbrook tells me/us different. Speeds up the process imo anyway.[/ooc]

[Loreia]

[I decided to ask when I saw you guys going back and forth on this. I will make the change to my post ending my Round 3 joust.]

Eep.  I'm not sure, but my gut says yes to Injuries.  They'd be Knights of Poor Quality if they couldn't even manage that much.

Let us proceed with Injuries then.
