[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor sat in silence on the back of Seyena's pegasus as the two flew toward Kesselring. For his part, Valor did his damnedest to ignore the fact that he wasn't on solid ground.
 

[Haspen]

@castle guys: After a while, Aaron appeared on the floor, backed by several soldiers, armed and armored. He coughed into his glove and looked at Adrien.

"Captain Torres demands trial by combat. Adrien have to fight Torres until Torres surrenders the cause or Adrien dies. I'm sorry, I couldn't persuade him otherwise." With that, the soldiers lunged for Adrien and numerous hands grabbed him by his arms. Few other looked at the rest of the mercenary group, their hands on the handles of their swords or poles of their spears.

"The rest of your group is allowed to view the match, but for sake of all gods, do not interfere... Good luck, Adrien." He added.

~~Chapter 2x: Trial by Combat~~

The soldiers brought Adrien outside, toward the stables in one of the less populated parts of the castle. Aaron followed right behind them. Torres, a burly man in heavy armor, was already there, a steel spear in his hands. The soldiers blocked all exits from this courtyard, as servants and stable boys began to gather behind them to peek at the combat.

"Child-murderer! Bastard! I will cut you to pieces!"

[Furtuka]

Derick looked back and forth between Adrien and his heavily armored opponent, taking in the differences in their strength and equipment.

"The poor guy is doomed."

[SeriousConcentrate]

While everyone was busy at the courtyard-turned-arena, Chris slipped away to head to the armory and see if it was guarded or not.

[Sirus]

: "I'm not exactly fond of Adrien, but being forced to fight to the death seems rather barbaric..."

[Haspen]

@Chris: Yes, the armory was guarded by two soldiers, as always. Not everyone in the castle was watching the match, after all.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris walked on by and eventually returned to the courtyard.

"They still haven't started yet, I see."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"Well.. if you look by another side Adrien's decisions are also barbaric at most of situations. But lets see by a bright side, the other guy is not on his horse."

[Gamerboy4life]

The silence started to wear on Seyena after a while, so she decided to strike another conversation up. It might take his mind off the flying, and pass the time until we reach the castle.


"What do you plan to do after this whole fiasco with Prixima is over?" Seyena asked, as she noticed the Kesselring fortress in the distance. It shouldn't be much longer now.

[Taricus]

: "Pfffahahahaha. You really want to do this? You really want to throw your own life away for some "honourable" cause? Shit happens all the time Torres, and death was a risk your son was well aware of when he signed up. And if he wasn't, I guess that makes you a terrible parent as well.

Now, SHOW ME WHAT PASSES FOR COMPETENCE AMONG YOUR MISBEGOTTEN ORDER!"

Hold ground, equip the Iron axe.

[Furtuka]

"Well.. if you look by another side Adrien's decisions are also barbaric at most of situations. But lets see by a bright side, the other guy is not on his horse."

"I... don't think the horse will make much of a difference in this arena."

: "Pfffahahahaha. You really want to do this? You really want to throw your own life away for some "honourable" cause? Shit happens all the time Torres, and death was a risk your son was well aware of when he signed up. And if he wasn't, I guess that makes you a terrible parent as well.

Now, SHOW ME WHAT PASSES FOR COMPETENCE AMONG YOUR MISBEGOTTEN ORDER!"
Hold ground, equip the Iron axe.

"...I herebye retract my statement of poorness, not the doomed part thought. I still think he's doomed."

[Sirus]

: "Adrien's actions might have been barbaric, but a pit fight doesn't seem like a punishment for a man like him...especially if he wins. He should be jailed instead."

Adrien yelled something.

: "See what I mean? This isn't a punishment, he's enjoying this!"

[Praefectus Screptum]

"It WOULD be a punishment if that guy was using a sword... and I doubt a prison would hold him. He probably would bite the bars every day to open a path and run away to hug bears again or kill another person randomly."

Tantallos shrugged and began to laugh at the situation.

"And they call me CRAZY..."

[Haspen]

~~Enemy Turn~~

"How dare you mock my nephew's honour! You're a bandit and not a mercenary! I can bet my entire career that you killed your own mother to sell off her dress!"

With that, Torres moved up to Adrien and thrusted with his spear at the young axeman - the weapon stabbed into axeman's stomach, making the crowd go 'oooh!'. Adrien then slashed with his iron axe, yet he missed. The knight spit at the ground and thrusted at Adrien again, but this time his opponent managed to evade the heavy lance.

Hit: 99-15-15-16 = 53
Hit roll: 39, hit!
Damage: 26-1-7 = 18dmg

Adrien counters!
Hit: 86+15-30 = 71
Hit roll: 83, miss!

Torres strikes again!
Hit: 99-15-15-16 = 53
Hit roll: 77, miss!

Chris shrugged at Tantallos's statement.

"Can't exactly say I disagree."
