[Day 7] Ser Daeron Waters vs Ser Addam Frey (Round 4)

Feeling fully recovered from his melee against the crowd, Daeron was back and ready to hit some people with pointy things. By now his tactic of reckless aggression was probably known to most jousters that he'd face in this tourney, but he didn't care. There was no way that gripping the sides of your horse harder would be enough for the type of blows he was accustomed to giving.

Saluting his opponent, he grips his lance tightly before spurring Argent into action down the lines, giving it all he had with a devastating attack.

It was brief, but was a clash! Both knights were thrown from their mounts, despite Ser Addam's attempts to brace himself against Ser Daeron's wild style. A great cheer went up from the crowd, as keen as ever to see matters resolver with steel and by now expecting as much from Ser Daeron.

Seasoned observers in the crowd noted that even if Ser Daeron had suffered a severe fall it may yet be a close run thing, given the royal bastard's proficiency as a swordsman.

R4 P1 N, Braced, HS;SiS;CyB: 5d6k3+4 21 6d6k4 14+2 (braced) = 16 4d6 14 - 3 DoS = 9 damage per dos/2 (noble) = 4.5 x 3 = 13.5 = 13 damage - 10 AR = 3 damage + further damage for falling

AR: 10
Health: 11/12

[OOC: will roll initiative once I have appropriate stats  .

Edit: and apologies to Ser Titus - I'd rolled already and was already typing things up... Perhaps we should come up with a system for dividing these?]

Fatigue spent in first round for initiative does apply to first round, yes.

3 DoS+falling off horse is 4*9=36, so 18 with noble and armor takes 9 of that (which is exceeded before the falling off damage is factored in), then 4 restored by CyB so Daeron's Health looks on target. Daeron would do 3*7 so 21, but since AR only applies to the first two 7's and take all of it, he takes 3.5 (which is rounded up) for falling off, so 1 damage after CyB.

Given his superior positioning, Daeron could have toyed with the Frey knight to put on a better show for the crowd; however, such games were beneath him. Ser Addam was an honorable knight who didn't deserve such a treatment and Ser Daeron knew that such arrogance is how one snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Daeron permitted his opponent a moment to stand and prepare to defend himself, but little more before he closed the distance between them with his blade flashing from low to high catching Ser Addam in his ribs.

The low thud of his sword colliding with Addam's armor belied its intensity as the Frey knight was physically lifted off of his feet before landing on his back. A hale and veteran knight only moments ago was now a crumpled heap.

I have a feeling that it's not about to matter regardless.

R4 vs Addam-R1-Charge: 8d6k4+1 19 (3 DOS)

7 damage per DOS, so 21-10=11 damage to Ser Addam, dropping him to 0 Health, unless he'd like to take an injury?

It appeared as if Ser Addam Frey's arm moved to push him back to his feet and continue the bout.

But appearances can be deceiving, as reinforced by every old wife's tale.

It was no more than a twitch, a spasm. Yet another knight had fallen to Ser Daeron's blade as he continued to cut an unconventional swathe through the tournament.

Ransom surrendered:
Destrier
Full Plate
