The Second Day Lists

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

I thought I'd start a new thread for the second day, since Day 1 was already a nine page thread.

At the start of the second day, the shields are thus:

Ravens and Weirwood, in Black and Scarlett, representing the Knight of the Greatshield
--Warren Blackwood

Black Runes and Bolts on Bronze, representing the Knight of the Greathelm
--Ser Robert Royce

A Golden Rose on Green, representing the Knight of the Blade
--Ser Donal Tyrell

A Black Lion sleeping on Yellow, representing the Knight of the Silver Spurs
--Ser Giles Grandison, the Waking Lion

Climbing Green Ivy on Black
--Ser Kit Kidwell, Kid Death

I'm going offline for a while, but feel free to continue in my absence.

[Percy Rivers]

Ser Harry Lonmouth finished strapping on the last of his armour, it was plain grey steel, quite unlike the white plate of the Kingsguard he was used to. It didn't matter to him though, steel was steel. He mounted his destrier and leaned down to grab the modified lance from Miles. As he grasped the shaft he whispered into Oldflower's ear, "If I don't suceed, however unlikely, you must finish the job." He then rode to the champion's pillars, the crowd waited as the herald annouced his name, actually his long dead uncles name, but that didn't matter, "Ser Podrick of Maidenpool, who do you challenge?" He rode his horse up to Kidwells shield and knocked the end of his lance on it, "Ours is Fury," he whispered under his breath.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

The Redroyce takes interest as a hedge knight of no account challenges Kid Death. "I suppose he wants to make a name for himself. Methinks his courage outdoes his wit, however."

[Percy Rivers]

Lonmouth rode to the end of one side of the tourney grounds and turned his horse towards the other end. He spotted Kidwell at the other end. He brought his horse into a trot and steadly gained speed until he was at a gallop. He felt more alive than he had since the defeat of Callen at Casterly Rock. Below his helmet Harry Lonmouth, the Star-Eyed Knight, laughed and lowered his lance, in reality a war lance in disguise towards Kit's chest.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Rhodri watches the eminently predictable bout; it takes two passes, but Kid Death unseats the hedge knight without taking a blow. "Well, at least the old man was not injured. I wonder who will challenge next."

[Percy Rivers]

Lonmouth lay there in the dirt, staring up in the sky. His plan had failed and he knew it. He now had two choices, either slink off into the fields and live out the rest of his days, or go out with glory and condemn himself to death. He stood up and walked to his destrier, he grasped the lance on the ground and remounted his horse. He charged towards Kid Death, the man had his back turned. Lonmouth tore off his helm, and shouted to the crowds, "for Rodrick, for Callen! Ours is Fury!"

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Rhodri rises from his seat, in shock and disbelief. Is that the Star-Eye? "Guards! Stop that man! Pull him down!"

The Redspear realizes he stands with only a dagger, and no armor. He waits to see what Kid Death will do; inside he has an impulse to allow their fight.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Rhodri starts clambering over the fence himself. He keeps shouting for his men to take Lonmouth alive, to pull him back from Kid Death. If the two are to fight, Rhodri would rather it be a proper combat sanctified by a Septon.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"Stop this madness! If you want a fight, we can have a fight consecrated by the Seven!", Rhodri shouts, hoping to slow Lonmouth down. "Guards! Take him alive!"

Lonmouth slowed down a bit, just out of reach of Redroyce's guards, "a fight you say?" He pointed to Kid Death. "He picked a fight the moment he killed his uncle, and then his king. No man is as accursed as the kinslayer."

Rhodri takes advantage of the pause to lunge between the two men, danger or no. He's holding the heavily gilded spear meant as the prize for the final victor. "You, Ser Harry Lonmouth, do challenge Ser Kit Kidwell?"

Lonmouth looked from Rhodri to Kit and then back again. "The Other's take you Kit, aye, I accept."

"Then I charge you both to put down your blades and accept this mortal fight. Guards, take the Star-Eye and keep him under watch. He and Kid Death shall face each other, after the blessings of a Septon, at dawn tomorrow. For now, the joust shall continue, with Ser Kit stepping down as champion until his quarrel with Lonmouth is resolved."

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Guards escort the Star-Eye to the Drum Tower where he will be safe until dawn. A septon is sent to him in the night to hear his words and pray with him. Kid Death's shield is put at the base of his column, so that he is not challenged until he has seen out his fight with Lonmouth.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Rhodri invites new challengers to enter the lists, and returns to the viewing box with a sigh. He had hoped for a magnificent event at this tourney, and now chaos had broken out. The battle at dawn was the only legitimate way forward; as a Kingsguard, Lonmouth's claim against Kit Kidwell was real, even if Rhodri had fought for the other side. He knew the gods would judge him harshly if he had not allowed combat to prove which side was right.

Meanwhile, there was still a tournament, and champions to name. What would come next?

[guest1]

I challenge Ser Robert to a rematch!

EDIT: Mayby we can arrange joust between champions and the winner of that joust is the winner of the tourney? Or do you talk about champions of the next day? Can't the continue, who were the champions of the first day?

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

OOC: You can't re-enter the tourney, but if you want to challenge Robert to a friendly joust after the competition, I can't see why not.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

While we already know the results of Harry and Kit's duel, officially that won't happen until the second day of jousting closes. The second day of jousting will carry on in this thread. The champions at the end of the second day will be the tourney champions, and the third day will feature them jousting each other for the Grand Prize, as well as the Grand Melee.

After Ser Harry Lonmouth was escorted from the lists under guard, and Kid Death retired in silence to his tent, the tournament continued with four champions: Warren Blackwood, Ser Robert Royce, Ser Giles Grandison, and Ser Donal Tyrell.

It was at this point that the Westermen entered the lists: Ser Viktor Jast, a Goldhand, struck his lance upon Ser Donal's challenge shield, and Ser Syward Spicer, also a customs agent, chose Warren Blackwood, the Raven Heir.

Ser Timm Vikary, a Kingsguard, rode into the lists, resplendent in white, challenging Ser Robert Royce.

Today Garrett Redfort watches with the other knights, but somehow he is surrounded by maidens. He cheers as Ser Robert Royce is challenged by one of the white knights.

"It's an honor," says his brother Tommen. "Ser Robert can boast to the end of his days that he rode against a knight of the Kingsguard."
