Sir Edric Orlavsky aka DM AK's page

Edric smiles at Yelena's statement, and then mounts Talia, moving into open ground. Grabbles raises his lance and moves a short distance opposite Edric.

At least as i'm running both combatants this can be nice and quick ;).

The two mounted combatants glare at each other for a time, and then Edric speaks.

On behalf of the Guardians of the Greenbelt, your chaos shall end this day. Prepare yourself. the Knight solemnly intones, challenging his opponent. Grabbles does not respond.

Initiative-

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 Edric
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 Grabbles

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18+2 charge bonus.
2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

Round 1-
The mite surges forward with his lance, charging towards the Orlovsky knight. The blow seems sure to strike when Edric deflects it skillfully with his shield at the last possible moment. Now unable to charge, Edric spurs Talia on and launches an attack, his lance lunging for Grabbles while Talia attacks the giant Tick. Edric's lance's aim is exceptional, and the lance deflects the mite's buckler and plunges through Grabble's chain shirt with force. Talia's disdain for her counterpart is clear as she viciously bites the insect and then clips it with a hoof for good measure. Grabbles is able to maneuver the Tick out of the way of the bite.

Roll to allow Talia to attack as well as Edric-

Edric
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 Success

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16 Hit
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Grabbles roll to negate first hit on his mount-1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 Success

Round 2-

The heavily wounded Grabbles focuses his efforts on stabbing out at the unarmoured Talia, but the horses dodges the blow. The giant Tick follows its riders lead and lunges for Talia but Edric barely swerves her vulnerable neck aside from the bite.

Grabbles and Tick-
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Miss
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 Hit VS Talia, negated by mounted combat
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Edric changes tactics and lunges for the Tick with his lance, directing Talia's attack onto the insect as well. The knight's horse wounds the tick, but the thing appears exceptionally tough and takes the blow in its stride.

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Round 3-

Grabbles stabs at Edric, but his lance can't penetrate the knights sturdy half-plate armour easily. Snarling in frustration, Grabbles directs his mount to attack Edric's steed but the mite almost falls off his vermin steed as the giant tick completely misjudges Talia's speed. In return, Edric rams his lance into one of the tick's many legs, Grabbles riding skills insufficient to avoid the blow to his mount.

Grabbles and Tick-
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Miss
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Grabbles mounted combat check-1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 Fail

Round 4-

Grabbles lance finally finds a weak point in Edric's armour, and the Cavalier grunts in pain as the lance pierces his abdomen. The tick's bite lunges for Talia once more, the horse barely evading the strike. Retaliating, Edric slams his lance into Grabbles with massive force, unseating the mite and leaving him bleeding out on the ground. Talia slams a hoof into the Tick. Its master possibly dead on the ground, the Tick has little reason to continue fighting and flees east, Edric and Talia both missing with their strikes as the tick flees.

Grabbles and Tick-
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Hit
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Edric returns to stand with his fellow Guardians, with not a scratch on Talia and only minor wounds on his person.

It is done.

Sorry Malthir I was posting this before you asked that. As a knight I think Edric would have considered that cheating.

Sir Edric looks like he is about to respond to the challenge, but then looks to the group for confirmation.
