Prince Maekar is big and strong for his age, but inexperienced in jousting, because he is a prince and Lord Alliser is considered a wretch, the smart money can take bets giving them 10 times their money back by staking them on Lord Levalle, the odds may not be in his favor, but the winnings offered are probably twice what they should be. His armor is black and red, and of a quality as befitting a Dragon, he rides a fine Destrier, a gift from the Fossoway stables.
Maekar has: CD: 11 AH 3, Ride 2 Fighting 4 Lance 2 Endurance 5 Superior Full Plate Superior Destrier (3b strength) |

Narrator Override: Noble style, no brutality. Aggressive is debatable, but he's young.

Regyn is watching his lord in a shaded booth with Lady Levalle. They had both gotten dressed in some of their best finery for this occasion, I hope he does not disappoint Delena. He looks down towards her carefully shrouded face. I know Ally is not a strong fighter. I heard he used to be quite capable, when he earned his spurs. But every time we come to a jousting event he is just as apt to fall to the first lance as he is to make it to the third round. He is also one of the few knights I know that will miss his target completely, earning laughs and jeering from the crowd at his misfortune. How it makes Deli upset, he always acts so gallant in gaining her favor but his words never match his actions. I know she will not admit it to him, but she does wish that for once he could unhorse at least one opponent.
Laughter and barely hushed murmuring raise up in the stands as Lord Alliser and prince Maekar take the field. Besides, it would truly be an amazing feat if he did win. Plus that gold dragon I borrowed from him will be put to good use. I know he told me not to bet on him, but with odds of ten that Byrce was offering... how could I refuse? I know he is not the grandest of knights, but he is our Ally.
Regyn watched the Destrier's marched forcefully out to the starting positions, their heavy hooves creating plumes of dust with each hoof fall.
Regyn could not pass up the opportunity to gamble, but lacking funds borrowed from Lord Alliser.
besides, what is a gold dragon between friends?

Lord Alliser sits astride Daisy, looking across the field. After their close mishap during the parade, Lord Alliser was feeling shakier then ever. Even inside his heavy jousting helmet he could hear the rising murmur of disgust, mixed with the sounds of approval from the other end of the stadium and in the commons area. The Urging on of Prince Maekar was quaint, but alliser had a feeling it was not needed. I doubt the grandson of Aegon is going to be too pleased about my work done for his grandfather.
Lord Alliser looks down to where Albion was standing, holding up his tournament lance. The lance had been painted gold and black swirls, my colors. He thought to himself. He reaches down and carefully pulls the lance upright and into his body, trying to hide any show of weakness. As he glances back down the field he feels a churning mass of excitement and fear take hold in his gullet. Just don't fall off the first round. That is all you have to do. Do not let him make an embarrassment from you. Alliser adds to himself, yet.

With the force of a dozen hammers Prince Maekar solidly walloped Alliser. Even braced against the saddle, and angled in such a way that would provide the most deflection possible at expense of control of the lance point, it was all Alliser could do just to remain seated. Daisy bucked slightly as the force was transferred from her rider and into her back, giving a slight whinny of dismay. His own lance glanced harmlessly to the left barely breaking under the impact, as Alliser was so focused on remaining seated, he nearly forgot that he was holding the weapon. A small gasp emits from the boxed seat of Lady Delena, and other ladies hid their chuckles at Alliser completely missing Prince Maekar. However, at the other end of the list, Lord Alliser remained seated. Lord Alliser lets out a deep breath he did not even realize he had been holding. On his way to reset Alliser gives a salute to Prince Maekar with his unbroken lance. Turning around Alliser knows that he will be unable to even hit the prince unless he takes some more risks. So he turns around pushes his horse forward braced in the salad, his eyes leveled against his target, nobly posed and determined to break his lance against the princes shield.

Lord Alliser managed to survive the buffett once more and is still riding. There are some grumbling from the commons, coin passing back and forth for those who did not think Lord Alliser would even see the third round, and some who had hoped that their money would be a tithe to the gods to see such a reviled Lord brought low. Lord Alliser once again trots to the other side of the list field, saluting Prince Makear as he passes. It was not necessary to salute ones opponent in such a way, but a few of the older knights recognized the gesture of respect and nodded, although such gestures were not enough to remove the stain that soiled Levalle's name. The third round the Prince and Lord charged yet again, the thundering hooves of their massive diesters causing the ground to shake. The whole crowd seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the moment of impact. Lord Alliser kept his eyes fixed on maekars shield, sitting deep in the saddle. Slowly bringing the lance tip down towards his opponents body then it dipped too low, traveling down faster then he had anticipated. With a thunderous crack he felt rather then saw the lance impact upon the black fox of his shield. Another solid hit from the young prince. Alliser was rocked against the back of his saddle, and his horse whinnied her discontent but continued forward. Lord Alliser rolled forward, bringing the broken lance back up into the air he sighs, disappointed that even though he had managed to break the lance it felt far too low and glancing. Alliser tossed the broken lance to one of the squires who were set to attend to such things, and the boy caught it easily. Lord Alliser and prince Maekar trot towards the judges to await their verdict, but he already knew that his blows were too glancing to be counted as good in front of skilled practitioner. the draw was called, and Alliser could hardly breath his relief. So they went back to their sides and prepared for another round |

Looks that way, but needs to solve bonus dice issue of Maekar, that will probably not change anything.
