Ser Edric brutal and untethered style has almost killed him, surely a Tarly would at least ride more diciplined. For better or worse. Young Garth secured his armour and Titus did his best to force himself through the aches and pains. D7, R3 - Know Your Opponent (Awareness): 5d6k315

Ser Simon is considered among the top jousters of the Reach, maybe not quite a Longthorn or a Redtusk, but fully capable of beating one of them on a good day. Titus might beat him on a good day, but Simon should be considered the favorite.

Ser Simon’s prowess as a jouster was not to be taken lightly. Ignoring the pains and casting aside his worries about him and Balon, Titus drove his heels into his mount and charged the red huntsman. His hit was fair and the lance splintered but it was probably not enough to force his opponent out of his seat.

Both lances shattered at the first pass! Like his father, Ser Simon was more respected than liked, but many in the crowd still applauded at what had the beginning of being a fine match. R5 P1 N;SiS;CyB: 6d6k4+6 25 6d6k4+1 20 4d6 17 - 1 DoSPR: 21 AR: 10 Health: 12/12

Ser Simon's third pass was well placed, with Lord Tarly's second son now marginally ahead. Still, there was yet time for destiny to take a hand: neither man was far enough ahead as yet for the tourney master to declare a victor.

[If a DP is spent retroactively to bring him to -1D, what dice is removed from his rolls? Highest or lowest?]

[OOC: they get to choose, the person with -1D still rolls the same number of dice but keeps one less. And it persists for the whole joust thanks to our house rules! . Naturally he'll still choose to keep his highest dice, just one fewer than before on each roll, so your DP effectively removes his lowest kept dice on any given roll. Here it would bring Ser Simon down to 1 DoS and increase his chance of falling in future rounds. Or you could spend the destiny on your own rolls. Or do both if you have the DP!]

(I made the same mistake. The lance breaks but because it is a failure does not trigger a ride check to stay on. Only critical failure means you miss cleanly)

Ser Simon continued to edge ahead in a tight match, placing his lance well but without managing a decisive blow. R5 P4 N;SiS;CyB: 6d6k4+6 22 6d6k4+1 12 4d6 10 - 1 DoS PR: 21 AR: 10 Health: 12/12

Ser Simon's squire had fitted his armour poorly that day it seemed, and the pauldron on his right arm was slipping. Still, for this pass at least if did not seem to throw off his aim. However, there was plenty of opportunity for Titus to press home this advantage, as unless either man yielded it would not be until the ninth pass had concluded that the tourney master intervened. R5 P5 N;SiS;CyB (-1D): 6d6k3+6 22 6d6k3+1 15 4d6k3 13 - 1 DoS PR: 21 AR: 10 Health: 12/12
