[Day 7] Ser Daeron Waters vs Ser Wendel Redwyne (Round 5)

All but one must lose in the joust, but I don't plan on this being my moment of defeat.

Perhaps built up by his own ego from his earlier successes Daeron takes the opposite approach as his opponent, he thunders down the line, almost standing in his saddle as he makes another risky charge, but is rewarded with an explosion of shards and a lance blow that nobody should be able to resist.

I don't know why other knights bother with any defensive stances when all-out offense is clearly the superior tactic.

Sword out, Daeron was ready to engage the Redwyne knight who was bearing down on him. Despite his experience with the joust on the ground, he found himself on the defensive.

Despite his desire for a dominating victory, Ser Wendel was an important member of a powerful family and beating him senseless didn't seem like a good way to make friends. Accepting Ser Wendel's blow on the left side of his ribs, Daeron twists his body leftwards and thrusts his sword underneath his opponent's catching it with his cross-guard. With a twist and flourish of his blade, Ser Wendel's sword goes flying through the air.

Daeron takes half a step back, his sword still out, but not in an attack stance. In doing so he was giving Ser Wendel a chance to yield with honor, but if his opponent wanted to retrieve his weapon and continue the duel, he would not interpose.

"Hold Ser, hold ser I yield!"

Ser Wendel held up a hand in surrender and shouted loudly enough for the tourney master and crowd to hear, as the smallfolk roared in appreciation of Daeron's deft maneuver.

He thumped Daeron in the shoulder in congratulations, "You have left me quite becalmed without my sword, well fought Ser."

Ransom surrendered:

Full Plate,
Destrier

[/scene for my part

OOC: as helpfully pointed out by Asahra, I shorted Ser Wendel a rolled die in his charge on foot, but it would not have made a difference to DoS. Won't reroll but will remember for next time: too used to doing mounted charges!]
