Trial by Combat of Tallahar Tyrell

[Ellinda]

The trial by combat begins.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

For the record: Gaea is doing all the dice rolling for the sake of impartiality; however, since I am more familiar with the combat rules, I will do the interpreting in this thread (she's posting her die rolls in the council forum).

The Great Ward of the Red Castle is filled with onlookers to watch the fate of the Dawn Raider unfold. The Reach Lord is freed from his bonds to fight for his claim of innocence, while Ser Miles Oldflower, the King's Champion, will fight in the name of Callen's vengeance.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

The two men face each other at the center of the ward, ringed by Goldcloaks. Lord Tallahar brandishes the great Valyrian sword gifted to Lord Barret Tyrell before his death.

The two men circle each other for an age before Tallahar loses patience and lunges at his foe. Oldflower lifts his shield but Tallahar, in his rage, knocks it aside and cuts the man's thigh.

TT: 210
MO: 180, Average Wound

OOC: Who said Tallahar was allowed his VS sword?

[Ellinda]

Piers did.

[melon]

OOC: If you want bigger reason why. The sword was hidden at my Town House.

[Princess Ariel Targaryen]

OOC: Yeah. VS is legal in TBC, that's Standard Policy. Hell, -poison- is legal in trials by combat.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

The sight of Oldflower's blood encourages Tallahar's attack, but the Kingsguard is a wiley fighter, outstepping the larger man, deflecting his blade, and driving his own deep into the gap between Tallahar's shoulder pauldron and the arm grieve. Blood pours down the plates covering Lord Tallahar's arm, but the Reachlord is undaunted and fights on for his name.

TT: 114
MO: 171

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Poison legal? No. Oberyn never bothered to asked permission, that's all...

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Tallahar's rage increases, but the smooth Oldflower continues to dance outside the Reach Lord's powerful swings, deftly cutting into the Dawn Raider again.

MO: 106, carrying an Average Wound
TT: 87, carrying a Heavy Wound and a Light Wound

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Ser Miles Oldflower is clearly now confident of victory. He blows a kiss towards two of the watching Kingsguard, Ser Edrick and Ser Giles, but Lord Tallahar, undaunted by his own bloodshed, pounces, his heavily armored elbow first knocking Ser Miles back and then his sword sliding smoothly through a weak point in the armor, leaving a painful looking wound.

MO: 102, Average Wound, Heavy Wound
TT: 156, Light Wound, Heavy Wound

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Ser Miles Oldflower quickly dances back to avert the onslaught. Tallahar charges again, but too recklessly, and runs himself straight onto Ser Miles' sword. Blood is now all over his armor, turning the green to a murky brown.

MO: 126, Heavy, Average
TT: 80, Average, Heavy, Light

[melon]

OOC: Isn't that a Average?

26-50: average
51-100: heavy

The difference is 46.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Yes. We just clarified that in council and I edited above just now.

[melon]

OOC: Thank you. And yes I am checking everything that is written.
