Tallahar is lucky

[The Smith]

I started writing this before he yielded and it is good that he did.

Lord Tallahar Tyrell & Lord Randal Lannister face off in a duel for honour.

Round 7

TT: -42 RL: 147 (Critical Hit)

Blood gushes from the Reachman as he stumbles away. Everyone watching expects to see him yield but again his Ironwill and anger demand for him to attack. He stumbles forward and swings at Randal, Lannister blocks it easily and pushes him away. Randal stares at Tyrell and says, "Yield you fool." Tallahar ignores him and charges, Lannister blocks with his shield and strikes with his sword. It slides into Tallahar's chest, and blood pours out all over the ground.

Tallahar falls to the ground and to weak to stand. Blood pouring out of his body. He dies in that Training Yard.

Ha! Dumbass. I think if you'd done that he may well have left the game in protest. His own dumb fault though. I've said for ages that combat is pretty much a lottery with slight bonuses depending how good you are but it's no guarantee of victory.

To be honest though I am fine with that. It reflects the time periond. Can you think of all the ancient battles were the guys out numbered five to one still win.

Plus I aways compare it to sports. Some days the better team/athlete just does not win. Mike Tyson loses to Riddick Bowe even though Mike Tyson is a beast, Riddick Bowe just happens to have his number for what ever reason.

People may hate it, but I think it is realistic.
