[Day 4: Round 1] TILT: Knight of Stones v Ser Andrew Hawick

[Dyana Marsten]

The Knight of Stones arrives astride a stout rounsey, not particularly impressive but seemingly strong. His jousting helmet covers his face in full, and over his mail is a coat of leather studded with layers of iron plates. His shield bears what appears to be a sigil of two large stones rolling down a mountain, mostly brown and not expertly painted. He raises a clenched fist as the gathering takes stock of him, and proceeds to his place in silence.

[OOC: The Knight of Stones will most likely favor a Defensive approach at first. Probably a +/-1.

[OOC: remember to post your damage too - AH+3, +2 (charge), +strength bonus dice. Then multiply by degrees of success ]

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Corrine Marsten cheers for the Knight of Stones and applauds with enthusiasm.

[Dyana Marsten]

[OOC: I did post, I just edited it in some minutes later because I had to check the book for all modifiers, and posting on my phone, that took a little while. After you post results, I'll write the RP for the bout.

[Reader]

[OOC: cheers, sorry I missed that. Ser Andrew can't make that Animal handling roll, given his -2 penalty and slumps from his horse.

Winner chooses consequences]

[Dyana Marsten]

[Is simply being unhorsed acceptable? Don't want him to be hurt, only fall and go about his business.]

[Reader]

[It's acceptable to me. Your fellow PCs seemed possessed of a great bloodlust and might beat you to death for such clemency, but Ser Andrew is glad of it! He may have never lived up to his youthful promise, but glad you're giving him another chance]

[Dyana Marsten]

The Knight of Stones rides with precise motion throughout the entire charge, shifting his position expertly as the jousting opponents meet. Such is the efficiency of this move that Ser Andrew's lance shatters harmlessly upon the Knight's shield, but he is, in turn, thrusted away from his steed immediately. The blow was well-aimed and clean, perhaps even more so than a bloody one would have to be, and though Ser Andrew appeared bruised and hurt as he struggled to his feet a moment later, there didn't seem to be any major injuries to anything other than his pride.

The Knight of Stones throws his lance at the feet of the assistants and rises a fist again, circling on his rounsey and looking towards the gathering of noblemen.

[OOC: Ser Andrew is unhorsed, but takes only superficial damage that will wear off soon enough. Clemency!]

[Reader]

The smallfolk, and even a few nobles, cheer.

Everyone likes a mystery knight. People love a talented mystery knight, who can stylishly dismount his foes without unnecessary bloodshed.

[OOC: it'll never catch on with your fellow players]
