Jousting Grounds

[swammeyjoe]

The great lists stand ready. Rows and Rows of stands have been set up surrounding them, but for now they remain empty.

[The Smith]

A single man walks in and seats in the stands staring down at the empty lists. He begins to slowly clap.

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth lets out a burst of relief as he knocks the Dornishman to the ground. He raised his lance high as he reached the end of the list and was met by uproarious applause.

It would definitely be a tilt to discuss afterwards as both men had lasted until the sixth pass.

[wookie]

Benfry led his horse away in shame at being defeated so easily.

In contrast Vincent raises his hand proudly, yelling "In praithe of Lord Tallahar!" in a muffled voice behind his helm

[wookie]

Osmund tuts as he removes the crushed breastplate from Michael Hill as the healers tend to him. "Bastards never seem to get the best equipment, eh Ser Michael?" he says merrily - a wary eye on the young man as he trys to keep him conscious through speech.

[House Dustin]

Daven Hersey lies in the mud for a moment. As far as he could tell he lived and was hole despite the blows Westerling had laid on him. I need a drink. He pushed himself up out of the mud and made a good natured wave to his opponent and then to the crowd before leading his horse to the stables.

[Fel]

Hardon Kenning laughs loudly when he sees Euron Smallaxe dismounted.

[Erik]

After being dismounted, the mystery knight bearing a shield with a red horse removes his helmet, to reveal a young Dothraki girl. She gives a mock curtsy to the crowd and Ser Andrew, before leaving the arena with her husband, Lord Erik.

[House Dustin]

Roland stares down the field towards his opponent and notices what look like arms from the Iron Islands. Don't underestimate him. Respect that he could know how to handle a horse. As the horses charged each other, it became clear the other man was not a skilled horseman. Roland placed a solid but not dangerous hit on the man's shield and saw him tumble from his horse. He looked over his left shoulder to make sure the man was uninjured and then wheeled and nodded in salute before riding from the field.

[Fel]

Ser Lucas Harlaw painfully pushes himself off the ground. He does his best to bow gracefully, while clutching his side, to the Royce who unhorsed him.

[The Flint]

Ser Torn rose from the ground, and took Summer Cloud by the reins. "I thank you for the lesson Lord Randal, your reputation is well deserved." He bows respectfully and goes off.

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth removed his helmet after his second round and smiled to those in the stands. He sought out a particular face in the assembled crowd and blew her a kiss.

[Teirney Lannister]

Marina was estatic. Prince Andry's round had left her breathless and Jon Royce's victory only heightened her excitement. Aerie thought she heard "gallant" a few times beneath her blissful sighs, but she was more worried about the fact that Graham had went flying out of his saddle and, consequently, didn't pay much attention. Seth had been doing well so far also. She saw his gesture and nodded her acknowledgement.

[House Dustin]

Roland's lance connected solidly with Clive Lannister's breastplate, and Roland thought the man would fall to the ground, but he did not. Roland got a new lance and repeated the tilt, again soundly hitting the westerman-- this time on the shield. Once again the Lannister stayed ahorse. Roland's focus flagged and on the next pass neither rider gained the upper hand.

Time to finish this. Roland played the last exchanges back through his mind, trying to think of some gap in the Lannister's defenses. He squinted across the field at his opponent. He looked tired and maybe hurt. No time for strategy. Just go right at him. Roland realized those were the words of the Hillfox. He dug his spurs into Dusk and rode for the Lannister landing a very solid hit on the man and unhorsing him.

[edricdayne]

Tytos guffawed as he dishorsed the Knight of Bells in one tilt.

In his second match, Tytos goes up against Lord Randal Lannister. They have a close match, but in the end Tytos places a heavy hit on Randal dehorsing him. As Randal limps off the field to a maester, Tytos demounts and runs over to him. "Lord Lannister, a great match. You did very well, and I am sorry for your injury. I hope you heal soon and well." With a smile Tytos heads off to prepare for the next round.
