FINAL JOUST, BOUT 1

The flag is raised, the horses neigh. The flag goes down, the knights ride!

Quote from: Sir Tarman's Strike
Tarman's Hit: rolled 8, +6 from Eye stat, -1 from Boar Stance = 13
Relos' Evasion: rolled 1, -2 from Balance stat, -3 from Build stat, -1 from Lion Stance = -5
Tarman hits Relos!
Unseating Roll: rolled 2, +(4+1) from Muscle stat, -5 from Opponent's Protection => 2 vs 10 <= +6 from Build stat, +4 from Horse
No Unseating occurs!
Lance Breaking Toss (9 Endurance < (4+1) from Muscle + 5 from Opponent's Protection): Tails
Sir Tarman's Dubarwood Lance with Steel Tip shatters!
Quote from: Sir Relos' Strike
Relos' Hit: rolled 10, +8 from Eye stat, +1 from Lion Stance = 19
Tarman's Evasion: rolled 2, +4 from Balance stat, -(1+2) from Build stat = 3
Relos hits Tarman!
Unseating Roll: rolled 1, +(5+2) from Muscle stat, -5 from Opponent's Protection => 3 vs 10 <= +(2+4) from Build stat, +4 from Horse
No Unseating occurs!
Lance Breaking toss (10 Endurance < (5+2) from Muscle stat + 5 from Opponent's Protection): Heads
Sir Relos' lance remains in one piece!

The double clash is further enhanced by the splinters and pieces of Tarman's lance falling about! The judges ring away their points, one for Sir Tarman and one for Sir Relos!

Sir Tarman of Doktan 1 : 2 Sir Relos of Thule

The crowd cheers and the Maidens gasp as the knights reach the ends of their lanes. The squires hand Sir Tarman his remaining lance as the judge prepares his flag again!

When the time is right, you approach your wife and tell her in few choice words what you think of her behavior around the young dashing foreign prince.

"Of course, dear husband." She says, calmly looking you in the eye. "This won't happen again."

503 AD, Late Winter

Prince Vallurvo, and his entourage, have packed up and left once the snow started to get wet and days brighter.

He was a lousy, noisy guest and little of politics was done with him.

Some of your councilmen are actually relieved her left.

503 AD, End of the Year

Happiness: 2
Population: 3
Economy: 3
Army: 3

You rub your chin in consternation.

"Your subjects continue to be somewhat grudging towards your rule, or rather, consequences of your ascension." Says the Advisor, tapping at the top of the Scrolls.

"I would argue that we should bribe then with cake and festivities, my liege. From festival expenses we can recover somewhat readily, from riots and revolts - not."

A) "Agreed! Let the people have fun!"
B) "I won't spend our hard-earned money in such frivolous ways!"

678
The Maidens take the pillows away and seat themselves by the King and Queen. Meanwhile the crowds start betting fortunes in a chance to earn rich!

The trumpeters trumpet away the ceremonial trumpets, as the chief judge takes his black-and-white flag. The crowds fall deadly silent, everyone awaiting that which is coming!...

Kashyyk and Chevaleresse, choose Stance for your Knights!

The benches and chairs are filled with spectators to the last seat. The murmuring and cheering crowd hushes down when the trumpeters and drummers announce the arrival of King and Queen themselves to spectate the finals.

As they take their seats, the chief judge of the Tournament steps forward.


"The final of the annual Jousting Tournament of the Kingdom shall begin shortly! After numerous matches only the two of the bravest, most cunning, and most skilled of knights remain to compete. These be: Sir Tarman of Doktan!" The crowd erupts into cheering as Sir Tarman appears, riding his horse, guided by his squires.

"And Sir Relos of Thule!" The cheering rises in a wave as Sir Relos appears, in the same way, but on the opposite side of the arena.

"As it is the tradition and the law of the Tournament, the Maidens who favorited these two braves - Lady Gildis of Kuram, and Lady Alkinoie of Thule - shall now deliver upon their blessings in the form of a mighty gift!" The two Maidens approach the ends of the lanes, rising high the pillows upon magic items lie.

Quote from: Gift Rolls
Sir Tarman of Doktan: 3, Hunter's Ring
Sir Relos of Thule: 5, Orb of Eyes

"And it is upon the Knights themselves whether they wish to take upon these gifts and blessings, or ride forth without!"

Kashyyk and Chevaleresse, choose whether to wield the offered Magic Items or not!

2021 + 250 + 150 + 60 + 25 - 1000 - 750 - 560 - 200 = -4 Ducats

I'm sorry Kashyyk but ghost money isn't valid currency on tournament grounds :P

He downs the contents of the glass in one go.

"Thanks."

It feels like you can carry the conversation a bit longer.

A) CHATTY: "I'm wondering what exactly made you change your lanes and start visiting less populated places."
B) CHATTY: "It might be just me but you got a bit uncomfortable when I mentioned my origins, of all things."
C) FLIRTY: "You are really quite something, you know? Suave, handsome, confident, it ruffles my feathers, so to speak~"
D) "Please come again."

JOUST 6, BOUT 5

And the last one begins!

Quote from: Alaren the Fat's Strike

Relos' Evasion: rolled 4, -4 from Build stat, -1 from Lion Stance = -1

Unseating roll: rolled 4, +(6+2) from Muscle stat, -2 from Opponent's Protection => 10 vs 10 <= 8 from Build stat, +2 from Horse
No Unseating occurs!

Alaren the Fat's Dubarwood Lance with Steel Tip remains intact!
Quote from: Sir Relos' strike

Sir Relos unseats Alaren the Fat!
No Lance Breaking toss (7 Endurance > (3+2) from Muscle stat + 1 from Opponent's Protection)

The clash ends with a gasp when the spectators see Alaren the Fat sway in his saddle - and then erupts to cheers as he falls! Sir Relos is victorious!

Sir Relos of Thule unseats Alaren the Fat of Rek!
Sir Relos of Thule gains 1 point of Renown and (39x7) 273 Ducats further doubled and tripled by the peasants and his Maiden, for a total of 1638 Ducats!

Day 6 of the Tournament

Quote
Tails, previous event continues

The elven merchants remain at the tournament grounds for a day longer.

FESTIVITIES!

You can:
  • Train 1 Stat (Balance, Build, Eye, Muscle)
  • Share time with Crowds (extra money if victorious)*
  • Visit Ironfist Temple (random bonus for next Joust)
  • Buy/Sell Equipment (Lance Woods: 20% discount when Buying)
*Point is moot because there's no more festivities after the Final.

Awaiting input from: Kashyyk, Chevaleresse

CHATTY: "Well, first of all, I have neither family nor home, as I was liberated only recently."

"Ah, you're an android, or a drone?"

"I was born a drone, yes."

"Ah, I see. I think it's good you guys got liberated, actually, because the whole concept is just - mandatory subservience? Just because you were grown in a vat? Seems just alien."

"As alien as humanity living once on a singular planet?" Vincent chuckles loudly.

"Well, it was the corporations that mandated this. Long before the War and in the times of old Federation." He hums and then turns to look at his crew.

"You guys done?" Vincent's crew raises their shot glasses, most of them empty.

"Ah, five more minutes then." He says and turns back to you.

CHATTY: "Any other interesting places you know about?"

"Ah, no, I wouldn't think so. Except perhaps the leisure satellite of Cropfield III? It's like huge cylinder and in the center of it you have this miniature jungle with half-a-mile tall waterfall."

"That sounds quite pretty and quite expensive to maintain."

"I would bet, then again, its a leisure satellite with luxurious hotels and casinos and such. I'm sure they're raking in cash from all the visiting politicians and CEOs."

Vincent downs the remainder of his Simpleton and then puts the glass down.

"Ah, but what about you, barkeep? What pulled you away from your family and colony or station to man a bar in middle of an empty star system?"

A) CHATTY: "Well, first of all, I have neither family nor home, as I was liberated only recently."
B) "Personal whim."
C) *shrug*
D) CHATTY: "Before that, would you be interested in another drink, perhaps?"

You tell Vallurvo about your skills, your deeds, and how it wouldn't be fair to duel him whilst he is drunk, and-

"What a man! What a king! Such fairness, finest mans wasn't seen!" Vallervo is safely redirected to drinking.

The next day, after he sobers up (which takes until afternoon), Prince Vallervo falls to your knees and apologizes for his treatment alongside his servants.

503 AD, Midwinter

The giggling, the long walks, the dances.

Vallervo has found a fellow soul, it seems, in your very castle - your wife Dugda.

Although the soldiers and servants keep an eye on them all the time, you cannot help but boil a little bit inside. Does he have no manners? Does she have no sense of loyalty??

A) About time I tell Prince Vallurvo what I think of his behavior!
B) I shall tell both of them what I think of this indecency they're publicly presenting!
C) About time I tell my wife what I think of her infidelity!
D) Then again, they're both about the same age, and nothing's wrong with chatting and walking, no?

The knights prepare as the squires bring the selection of lances to Alaren the Fat.

CHATTY: "If you don't mind me asking, what's the most memorable place you've went to?" Vincent thinks for a while.

"Ah, well, hm, Earth I think, from the places I visited lately."

"Earth? Isn't it where humans come from?"

"So do the planetary museums say so, but I can't believe it. I mean, its three-quarters nuclear desert and one-quarter mountaintops with spaceports and habitation domes around them, and that place is supposedly birthplace of humanity? Gotta be some joke."

"I've read in an article that Wóda originates from Earth."

"Ah, yes, they have a whole museum about the thing. They even brew organic version of it, not for export because your corporation patented Wóda long ago, I've been told. Either way though, the view from said mountaintops was very peculiar. Light blue above you and sickly yellow below you with shimmering mirages of white and gold sands trying to pierce the toxic fog." Vincent muses for a bit.

"I should've taken images."

He immediately drinks a third of it before placing the glass down.

"Where was I? Yeah, Earth is supposedly where we came from, but given the amount of nuclear fallout and orbital bombardment craters seems really implausible, not to mention the carbon-based atmosphere. I've heard that it was the seat of pre-Federation government though, so who knows."

"This all feels like ancient history to me."

"Yeah, right? The idea we were once confined to a single planet... really strange. Alien, even." Vincent takes another sip of his juice.
