[D5, Round 3] Ser Theomore Tullison v Ser Torrhen Manderly

[Theomore Tullison]

Once again, Ser Theomore rode onto the field in a rather eye-catching manner. The lack of any favor around his arm causing certain murmurs in the crowd. He usually would wear one, and Lady Floreta was likely most eager to grant him that honor.

It's the the thug of her brother, Lord Tullison is quite wroth with everything named Frey. One man was heard saying. Like that would stop Ser Theomore, he squired for the prince you know, and takes after him in all his wicked ways. Another countered. You take that back!

Ser Theomore and Ser Torrhen exchanges amused glances as the guards scramble to calm the fistfight in the stands, before moving to each end of the field, awaiting the horn to sound.

Ser Torhen Manderly is fat, there are no two ways about it. He has done well to make it this far - he's not quite the knight is brother Ser Medrick is. A cunning fellow, by reputation he is the brain to his brother's brawn, so the Seven has favoured Theomore in his match-up.

[Theomore Tullison]

In familiar posture, Ser Theomore rides high to gain more power behind his thrust. Once again shattering his lance upon Ser Torrhen's shield with such force that he reels from the blow.

[Theomore Tullison]

Ser Torrhen's lance once again shatters on Ser Theomore's shield without the Tullison knight even so much as threatening to budge.

For the third time in a row, Ser Theomore's lance shatters on the Ser Torrhen's shield, and once again the Manderly knight is jerked backwards.

[Theomore Tullison]

Again, the force of Ser Torrhen's reply is deflected into the air. While the Manderly knight managed to break all his lances and remain upon his horse. It is quite clear to the crowd that Ser Theomore's balance was never once threatened, not even showing a hint of swaying out of his customary upright position, while each of his own strikes clearly made Ser Torrhen jolt.

[Unless Lord Tully (meaning Fredryk Vance?) has a mind to make the crowd wonder what Torrhen have paid them and/or what Theomore has done to anger them (and miss out on the gold coins the courser/destrier is worth in the case of Fredryk), I do believe Theo wins by 3-0 DoS.]

[OOC: Theomore is indeed the winner, isn't close enough for any funny business!]
