Roland saluted his friend and fellow survivor of the Black Tourney's riots. He was familiar with the man's skills and likely tactics, although such was seldom enough against a knight of Titus's prowess. Oft times it merely meant one knew the manner of one's defeat ahead of time. Still, this should be a most worth match. He only regretted that his old ally Donnel Blackbriar wasn't alive to congratulate the winner and suggests improvements in technique to the loser. PR: 21 AR: 11 Health: 12/12 I/W/F: 0/0/0 Know Opponent Titus Blackbriar: 5d6k3 17 |

With so evenly matched jousters at this level of skill, who can truly say what tactics might be employed? Roland can however, safely assume no knavish strike to the thigh or other dangerous acts of dishonor.

Aggression appears to gain the upper hand over caution in this impressive match.
Generally, tactics switches after dices are rolled is a somewhat iffy subject (at least not without pre-dice "if, then" algorithms), more an issue vs PC's and NPC's in close proximity in prowess. Titus N+HiS+D2: 3#7d6k4+6 24 26 24 3#6d6k4-2 17 14 14 3#5d6k4 14 19 16PR 23 Roland: 3 Titus: 4 Titus N+HiS+D2: 3#7d6k4+6 28 26 27 3#6d6k4-2 17 16 17 3#5d6k4 21 11 16Roland: 6 Titus: 10 That's on Round 6 where the >2 DoS line is crossed. |

[OOC: isn't Titus 6d6k4 on his jousting rolls? Not that this necessarily helps Roland, who may well want the extra time to close the gap!
Plus the switch tactics is declared pre-roll, hopefully embedded in the link. Then just reroll any passes that would be overriden to avoid people benefiting from seeing rolls after the fact?]

Gah, it's not fighting his BoA is for. It says switch tactics, but not to what.

Dice-Slashing: 6#1d7 3 1 6 3 5 5Remakes results to: 24-24-24-28-26-27 So 9-6 in DoS and reaches >2 on the 6th pass. Way it sort of needs to be interpreted in my head is that if tactics are declared to be switched upon occurrence of X, dices rolled after X happens must be ignored.

They may have been equally matched with lances and Titus's tactics cannier, but in swordsmanship Roland's size, age and experience were telling. A great cry of " ILYN!" preceded his charge. Roland struck with all his might, his finely made bastard sword coming down with all his weight and momentum behind it. CD: 13 AR: 11 Health: 11/12 I/W/F: 0/0/0 R1 Charge Titus: 9d6k4+2 25 +2 BotA = 27 = 4 DoS - Bastard sword = Athletics 4+2+2 (charge) = 8 damage per DoS on charge = 32 Damage -11 AR = 21 Damage - Fatigue taken if attacked/knock down attempt |

Straight to 3 injuries, let's go with a yield.
Superior Full Plate and Destrier for the ransom.

Roland hauled his friend to his feet, praising his foe's tactics as they departed the field. His voice was still raw from his war-cry. Truth be told, his fervour had caught Roland himself off guard.
He favoured his Companion Daeron with a salute and a nod, indebted to the man for the bold approach he had oft counseled Roland at others to adopt. Wildfyre's Way was a risky approach, but it could force an opponent back and give the chance for an unlikely victory with the lance or force a skilled opponent in to his shell. Such had given him just enough room to force the matter to swords, and that had been all the opportunity he needed.
