Today I wasn't thinking I would see anyone with the the 4th of july going on hahaha.
Enjoy your families today (and possible a couple of extra day for some).
For jousting it's
Fighting 4, +1 Spears, +4 Animal Handling = 10d6. According to the rules you can't roll more than twice your ability so you cap at 8d6.
Your three rolls should be something like this
Your Jousting Armor is your Passive Animal Handling + Bonus dice in Ride
Animal Handling 4x4 =16 +2 Ride = 18
Damage is Animal Handling 4+3 and Charge +2 = 9
Ser Marcus stats for Joust and Rolls
Passive Ride 18
Health: whatever health you have
AR: (Whatever armor you have)
Fighting (Spears) 8d6 keep 3 (-1D for charging)
Damage 9 per DoS.
Animal Handling (Ride) 6d6 keep 4
Marcus is a very decent Jouster, but will struggle once he gets to top 16 or 8.
I recommend to use the High in the Saddle maneuver as it gives you +2 Attack, but -2 Ride check to stay in the saddle when you fight strong opponents.
Do not make your rolls in your first post, just your stats and your "walking into the tilt" as some might want to make a Status rolls to look good or make a small speech/taunt or simple just your RP of your entrance to the tilt, while I do your opponent's and then you can figure out what to use against him since you will know his Passive Ride and AR.

I'm actually doing a lot of housekeeping today, with the possibility of something later this afternoon/evening, so I actually will be around.
Ser Weyland Wylde |
Bring the kid along what better cover than teaching a young boy archery maybe they won't think you are investigating that hunting accident at all!
The Warlord |
Charge does not give you a bonus to Fighting test, it actually gives you the -1Dice kept penalty and +2 damage.
Falling hurts and you take damage equal to 1 DoS that your Armor won't soak for you.
TN for Ride checks are:
1 DoS = TN 9
2 DoS = TN 12
3 DoS = TN 15
4 DoS = TN 18
Remember if you are hit you still take damage so account of how much your armor soaks and if you take an injury or not, etc...
I know you all took damage since none of you have splint armor, but probably not enough to be a threat, but it will start to get worse, this are just pushovers, except for the one that Marcus had, that is a "semi" pushover lol
Matthias Naelaron |
Warlord, since I know I had some confusion, Matthias' stats are:
Passive Ride: 13 (Animal Handling 3 x 4 = 12 plus 1 for Ride specialty)
Lance Attack: Roll 8, but keep 3 (Animal Handling 3 plus 1 Ride Specialty plus 4 for Fighting. Lose 1B from Spears due to Tourney Lance requirement; due to Charge, I lose 1 from Fighting).
This is before any maneuvers are selected.
Marcus Stormborn |
No, only if you have Athletics (Strenght) bonus dice
Darne Naelareon |
Darne will attend as he would enjoy it but I don't know if he would be a good singer.
I suppose in a manner that may have been in his lessons to help him to learn to project, gain confidence, and enunciate.
What would you say Warlord?
Ser Weyland Wylde |
Weyland may go to the singing competition just to observe, perhaps I will sing and make a bigger ass of myself... :-)
Darne Naelareon |
I assume that this was an event that most of the men would attend. Blarg, well time to make a fool out of Darne shall we ^^. Hmm...actually can you give an example Warlord. I am trying to structure it but my brain is being stupid at the moment.
Darne would select something more akin to a poetry then an actual song. But then most poetry can be made into songs I reckon.
Marcus Stormborn |
True, but happy even with that. Not the best one but I am fine with it. Forgot to mention which is which one, but the order is the same as required from rolls
Knowledge
Cunning
Persuasion
Matthias Naelaron |
Would you all mind heading over to the Ennies and casting a vote for me for Judge. My real name is Daniel Gunther. It'd be my first time if selected, but I figure what the heck. Even if you don't cast a vote for me, you get to put a face to the voice behind Matthias.
Marcus Stormborn |
Marcus also ready to go
Ser Weyland Wylde |
Ready.
The Warlord |
The next is a competition for strong and athletic characters, but none of you have the Strength specialty and I think Stamina unless I missed it, so your chances of winning are slim, but if you still wish to participate it's just another small event, where mostly smallfolk and some knights participate, and rarely any lord. Yet some lord like to watch it and you would have to be present to know why.
Of course the horrible terrible and always informative rumors of the day!
Day 5 rumors
- I hear tell the knight's a whoremonger and has an entire House against him.
- An old tale, with plenty of substance behind it. The lord Domeric axe keeps him safe that is one scary man, and then Ser lacking has two bastards to add as an insult to the Estren
- Why would he not have legitimized the boys?
- F%%#ed if I know, politics? Anyhow, he might be down and House Naelareon one knight short after the morrow.
- Did you hear that Bracken’s girl's song about the Lord of Light? Imagine that's the kind of thing she's been learning from the septon (obscene gestures).
- It's the other brother that's a red priest and isn't that an old folk song about the night's watch anyway? I swear you were dropped on the head as a babe...
- Yeah, well you were dropped on your face.
- Truly the citadel has been foolish to neglect your great mind, Ed...
- Not one for two mystery knights, and both making it through the first day! Truly Lord Tully's tourney is already one for the ages.
- I swear I sold one of them his horse, only it weren't an 'im, it were an 'er!
- Go home Ed, you're drunk.
- Did you see Ser Jorah Holt defeat Ser Harrold Darke? Everyone thought Ser Harrold could follow his old master Ser Steffon Darklyn in to the Kingsguard, but mayhap the Royal family should be looking further North?
- Spread the word please, Lord Benjicot Blackwood pays a silver stag for anyone with any useful info on the recent Benjen Frey raping scandal.
- Pfft, a mere silver. The Naelareon were offerin' a whole gold dragon for information on Ser Benjen;s activity, although I don't know what is f#%+ing problem with the young Lord is.
- A whole dragon? By the Seven, that'll attract all sorts of attention.
- They say the old Darry master-at-arms still roams they land with his group of religious marauders, hunting the sinful. Ser Lionel Darry was 'is name, if memory serves.
- He's a deadly sword, he killed a score of Coldbrook men on the walls of Castle Grenward, then led a knot of cavalry that cut their way to freedom.
- Aye, word is they gutted a shepherd who'd married a worshipped of the old gods. Cut 'im Seven times to be holy and daubed "blasphemer" on his head in blood.
- A mere shepherd wouldn't last ten seconds against Ser Lionel, poor bugger.
- Ser Benjen Frey is furious, he claims the fire that damaged the Frey camp last night was no accident.
- Paranoid bastard. Everyone else say it's punishment from the seven for that raping bastard.
- Doubt we can find a man brave enough to say that to his face.
- Surely not, with all these fine knights here?
IF no one is to participate or attend to watch let me know so I can move to the Archery contest.
Marcus Stormborn |
no taking part. Marcus will just watch
Ser Weyland Wylde |
Ser Weyland will watch but not participate in the Strength contest.
The Warlord |
You can still edit the part of returning her favor, otherwise she will hold you in more than just scorn lol. That is if you want to change that since you would then probably receive lady Ranel's favor much to lady Sosan demise and continued feud and hatred among each other. While the other Keath lady passes like a ghost unseen lol.
Ser Weyland Wylde |
Yep, I am working on it but my dice pools for Persuasion are weak at best. :-)
Still friendly banter is a good way to start!
Ser Weyland Wylde |
I figured this would be a brutal fight, I doubt they call him Furious Frey for nothing! I say to the God of Death, not today. :-). We will see if the dice roller is with me or against me this time out!
