Ser Dagos is thin and wiry, appearing almost naked next to the fully armored Balon, wearing only a cuirass and plating on his wrists and shins, steel gauntlets and a half helm. He carries a spear and a small shield, his vision or movement unrestricted, there is grace and flexibility in his step as he begins to circle his foe, keeping his distance. Ser Jonothor warned Balon of what to expect, Ser Dagos intends to use the wide open field, packed hard by the constant trampling by men and horses, to use his greater mobility to frustrate and wear down his opponent while dodging blows. All Balon needs to do is to close the gap and take advantage of his foe's poor protection, but that will not be easy.
Dagos is a clever bastard and ensures that there's a distance of 8 yards between him and Balon at the start of combat. Initiative: 6d6k4-2 16CD: 11 AR: 5 Health: 9

My base movement is 4 yards. With 4 Bulk that is reduced to 2 yards with a sprint of 4 yards? ((2x4)-4) Initiative vs Ser Dagos: 5d6k3-4 9CD: 13 AR: 10 F/I/W: 0/0/0 Superior Long Sword Superior Large Shield Full Plate Balon had won the right to face Ser Dagos in trial by combat. The evidence was suspect at best and he'd been told Dagos was innocent but it wasn't like he could withdraw as champion. That'd be an insult to Lord Leo and considering the poor first impression Balon had made with the Lord of Highgarden Balon had no plans to do so. Allowing Dagos to take the black would be the middle ground between killing an innocent man and letting him escape the charges against him. While Balon was heavily armored Daogs was not. As Ser Jonothor had warned him, Dagos would try to tire Balon. It was a trick Balon wouldn't fall for.

Ser Dagos makes no move to close on his foe.
Looks like 2 yards move and 4 yards sprint, yeah.

Hmpf, figures.
Balon began to walk towards his enemy, slow and steady, knowing Dagos would try to wear him down. Not today.

Dagos whips his spear towards Balon's knee, it glances off the metal, but the point was is get it between Balon's legs, he pulls it back violently to hook his foe on the inside of the knee and sends Balon off balance. Then he makes an attempt to strip Balon of his shield before, fleet of foot, he begins his little circle dance again.

So this is how it's gonna be? Balon used his shield as leverage against the ground and stood. Using a defensive stance Balon waited to see what his opponents next action would be.

Ser Dagos makes no sign to close the distance, that task falls upon Balon it would appear. Lord Walgrave shouts that he should stand and fight like a man, but most of the crowds recognize how utterly foolish it would be to follow such advice.

Balon was annoyed but he was determined not to get angry and do something rash. In his heavy armor he slowly plodded towards his target.

"DO YOU SEE!" Balon yelled to the crowd. "The Dornish are afraid to fight! That's why they use poison! It's the weapon of cowards like Ser Dagos!" He held his arms wide, inviting Dagos to strike. Balon knew he wouldn't take the bait but it was good theatre for the crowd.

Ser Dagos does indeed not take any such bait.
Given how LBF I is written, it can't be activated before you actually make a fighting test.

Dagos attack is expected, but now against Balon's shield instead, the force is enough to throw him off balance.
CD: 11 AR: 5 Health: 9 Attack shield+knockdown w LBF II: 5d6+1 17That takes Balon's shield to 6/15 and him on his ass at 2 yards, it's 10k4 at range yeah.
