I feel bad for the Knight of the Stones as Darne has to wait and let them beat on the poor knight for a small bit.
They weren't really a match for the Knight, probably kill 2 or 1 per turn, very little damage to him in return.
AR 9 is hard for them to beat, but it would have been "close" call for the knight with a lucky disarm or knockdown roll
Still, Darne is gonna play it off as being perhaps far more helpful then he possibly was.
And, Darne is a smart lad....he will use his wits to get out of it as best he can before trying to get injured.
Awareness test would have given you a big hint, but the one that knows more is Ser Marcus, good luck hunting the Knight of Stones.
Yea, unfortunately I failed that test >.<
Well you could have INTRIGUED HIM, but you forgot
Blarg....>.< noooo, If only I had like destiny point to spend to try and go back to do so
lol nope, but I was waiting for your intrigue, as it would have forced many acting rolls to keep up the farce + Normal rolls.
Bah, I am so stupid for not thinking about the possibility of Intrigue as an option.
I thought I did rather well for thinking of ways to keep Darne from getting in a real fight that he would best not be in and didn't think of what fight he could do well in >.<.
It happens, now we have the mystery of the Knight of Stones
I shall have to learn from this mistake for the future.
Squire's joust will be just an event of mention but not going to play out dozens of squires, I will get a pull and randomly determine winner and just post the squires that matter to the players and how well they did.
Heated Debate anyone can participate, this is social event where you have to argue in favor of green or black.
Darne would seek his father's consul regarding whether to even enter into the Heated Debate as their House is trying to stay Neutral. Or if perhaps he should Enter and lean black to show Lord Blackwood that their interests lay in a similar manner.
Nice job Darne. Here I thought I liked to play dangerous trying to play at Intrigue. You got me beat hands down on this one. That could have turned out much differently.
Watch the Knight of Stones be Cassondria in disguise. :p
Yeah, he likes to live DANGEROUSLY
Indeed, he needs to stop that >.>. Hmm, I am gonna stay out of the debate. Supporting one or the other at the moment is still a lack luster idea.
Though he will send a letter to Lady Sofia Blackwood requesting an audience or dinner even if she prefers.
Other then that he will strip down and look at the wound upon his chest to see if it is really all that serious to call the Maester for or if he will wear it as a badge to remind him perhaps a bit of his foolishness today.
He'll also send out a page with his measurements and money to get him some ring armor and a throw away horse for the next Joust.
Let me know if you guys have plans for the rest of Day 5, otherwise I will get Day 6 going.
So, the Excel is now updated to represent latest gains in "Gold, Glory & Experience".
So far it seems good. Just wanted to ask you Warlord: do you want me to break those numbers down or is it like that okey?
Also I am considering now what I should do with that 10xp :S Damn, I am thinking to just keep saving them and maybe later to invest on something
I have no idea what to spend my gold on, but I'm spending 5 XP to give myself a bonus die in Axes so I can actually use my battleaxe. I think I'll bank the remaining 5 until I get more.
Still away but I will spend 10 xp on 3 persuasion.
Warlord once Lord Domenica upgrades by equipment then I may look to shop :-)
I'm with you on Persuasion Weyland.
lol
Lord Domeric is only issuing you a shield, palfrey and scale
Soon, I will be leaving on sunday for a trip (holidays) and unable to post for a week. Wanted to warn before everyone wonders if something happened :) Unable to post during that time.
Not a problem
Wait wait...Maester Lucien whooped a knight's ass? Or was it the other way around?
Maester, knight was not armored lol, so the dear maester beat him with a beat stick that he uses for a cane, it was quite the advantage for the maester vs. a common knight fighting 3, they were pretty even, but a stick (club) hits harder than a fist.
I used the 10XP to raise my Persuasion from 2 to 3.
Did I miss where we earned some xp?
Yeah. Warlord awarded everyone some XP that we had to wait until the end of day 5 to use.
Hmmm...I could increase my knowledge or survival up to 3 I reckon...just not sure which I should do. Also there is warfare but I think that would be more for generals. Knowledge is probably the best choice...any thoughts?
I think Knowledge for you. Could come in useful as you are about to ascend as heir. Or split it between say Seduce (Persuasion specialty) and Empathy (Awareness specialty).
Hehe, I actually already have 2b on seduce. He is quite good at it. But the awareness does need to increase given time. Knowledge is looking pretty useful in my eyes as he really isn't supposed to be out scouting about like a knave so having a high survival isn't probably that warranted.
The other possible idea is the empathy and act bonus die.
Whoops, didn't see that with Seduce. Maybe Convince then.
I think I have settled on Knowledge, thanks for the advice Matthias.
So xp spent 10 to increase knowledge from 2 to 3.
I didn't see anything for me so far this day.
Joust + 2 evening events for you, were you will meet lady Sofia
Ah, understandable then.
Damn Garran. You were robbed. Hmm, wonder how Lord Naelareon will respond. He's definitely itching for a fight.
Yep. I know how I'd handle this were I a more intrigue based character, but all Garran can think to do is denounce the noble and Billy to Lord Tully.
Sorry for my absence my House got flooded so I'm assessing if there is any real damage or not.
Ah geez that sucks sorry to hear it. Hope the damage is nonexistent or minimal.
I had my bathroom back up a few weeks ago. That sucks. I hope everything comes through okay.
Good luck Warlord! I'll keep my fingers crossed that damage is just superficial.
The Jousting Matches for today
Ser Marcus Naelareon vs. Ser Medrick Manderly (Interesting match)
Ser Matthias Naelareon vs. Ser Adrian Redfort (Average match)
Darne Naelareon vs. Lord Forrester Frey (Darne is dead, cheating was probably involved)
Ser Corrad Daerros vs. Ser Florian Greysteel (Awesome match)
Ser Loreth Lansdale vs. Ser Rickard Thorne (Good Fight)
Ser Tyron Blackwood vs. Lord Haig Bracken (Someone cheated...)
Lord Petyr Mallister vs. Ser Bryndon Hightower (Awesome Match)
Ser Erryk Cargyll vs. Ser Ereth Ahern "Ruined King" (Brotherly Vengeance, definitely cheating to get the match)
Ouch, up until that post I had thoughts of Darne coming out and gracefully forfeiting but if he knows his father is gonna be in the crowd, then he is gonna have to take his punishment.
Today is a gonna hurt for Darne.
Back from my holidays! :)
Looking through everything and noticed that I should have upgraded since a long time ago at least my armor.
Also I guess I will get
+5 xp for +1B Shield
+5 xp for +1B Strenght
Am I right, that we need at least +1B Shield so that we DO NOT receive that -1D penalty to fighting, when fighting with "weapon" & shield combo
I will be at a client site tomorrow and unable to post until late in the evening, please DMPC me as needed.
Also, Warlord did you happen to see my PM from a few days ago?
That is if you are going to use a Large Shield, that has a +1B Shield requirement to use, and if you are going to "shield bash"
I will purchase Splint Mail before I go to my meeting.
