[P4 Appleton Melee] Bad Blood & Worse

Davos was not in great shape; if he hadn't been dealing with Oakheart's cronies he might have already yielded and left the field. Being pushed to fight solo instead of with his friends had put him in an ornery mood, so he had pushed farther into the competition than he normally would have, determined to show that he was not to be taken lightly.

It did, however, mean that he was in no position to engage in a battle of attrition with Ser Normyn. He needed to win the battle quickly and decisively if he were to win at all. In a real battle, on foot, he could rely on his strength and the heft of his greatsword to deliver powerful blows while maintaining a proper defense, but he did not have that luxury here; instead he had to be more reckless than he particularly cared for, and rely on his quick reflexes to strike a blow that would hopefully make Ser Normyn yield rather than take advantage.

With barely a nod to Redtusk, he pushed his steed to a thunderous gallop and struck at the golden-haired bastard with all the force he could muster.

Hurray for Orokos making a comeback.

P4 Appleton Melee Fighting(Long Blades) +1D Reckless -1D Charge, +1b (effective) Talented, +1 Talented, +1 Mounted, +1 Superior Weapon, -1 Injury: 10d6k5+2 24 vs CD 13, 3 DoS x [5 +1 Mounted, +2 Charge = 8 per DoS] for 24 - 10 AR = 14 damage.

Pretty average roll, but good enough. It has been some time, so I welcome others reviewing my modifiers to make sure I didn't miss anything.
EDIT: In hindsight I'm not sure there was room for a charge; amusingly without the charge modifiers I would still have done exactly the same damage, as I would have gotten an additional DoS and 3*8 = 4*6.

CD: 12 (reckless, fatigue for AP), AR 10
Health: 7/12, 1 Injury

EDIT: Davos will take a fatigue to ignore his AP.

Davos had half-expected Ser Norymn to yield after that first blow, but apparently he was tough bastard.

Grunting under the impact and his vision narrowing for a moment as darkness threatened to overcome him, Davos manages to keep his feet though he is pushed back.

If he were completely in his right mind, he would probably yield, but between the ringing in his ears, the battle-lust, and the thought of his opponent possibly being responsible for his sister's grief and him never getting to meet his niece, the thought of giving in is untennable.

Surging forward again, he launches another massive attack against Ser Normyn, though at this point he is fighting against his own body as much as he is the knight opposite him.

Take 2 injuries to reduce damage from 13 to 5. 2 health remaining.

LA: move
LA: attack, still using reckless technique

P4 Appleton Melee R2 Fighting(Long Blades) +1D Reckless, +1b (effective) Talented, +1 Talented, +1 Mounted, +1 Superior Weapon, -3 Injuries - 1 Fatigue: 10d6k6-1 27
27 vs CD 16, 3 DoS for 3*6 = 18 -10 = 8 damage.

CD: 12 (reckless, fatigue for AP), AR 10
Health: 2/12, 3 Injuries, 1 Fatigue

Davos will take a fatigue to ignore his AP if attacked again.

Davos is tempted, oh so tempted, to strike down his foe in spite of the yield.

But that is not who he is.

He nods to the golden bastard and lets the defeated man leave the field, knowing that he himself will soon be following.

First though, there was another blackguard that he needed to ensure was defeated. Catching his breath, he looks over to the fight between Ser Roland and Balon Blackbriar.

Not sure if I can jump in on the other thread or not (or if it's needed or not). Normyn and I went 2 rounds, Roland's latest attack marks 3 for them.
