Humble-Grandmaster: 110 w/
5,000 Iron Born

Vs.
Ser Josef Jordayne - A Master Battle/Longsword
Vindal Jordayne Noteworthy Battle/Axe w/
2,000 Dornishmen

Humble: 184
Jordayne: 181
Jordayne: 82

Reavers attack the Tor, expecting the kind of light resistance that has been seen elsewhere, but Ser Josef and his Dornishmen do not mean to go quietly. The battle rages, but the Iron Born are unable to breach the walls. Humble kills Vindal is bloody hand to hand combat however.

Remaining
Iron Born: 4,750
Dornish: 1900

Round 2:

Humble:147
Jordayne: 141

Again the Iron Born charge the walls, and again the Dornish hold them.

Remaining
Iron Born: 4500
Dornish: 1800

Round 3:

Humble: 174
Jordayne:192

The Iron born charge a third time, and this time the Dornish strike with prepared oil, burning the Reavers alive, and destroying battering rams, as arrows rain down upon them.

Ironborn: 3,600
Dornish: 1650

Round 4:

Humble: 203
Jordayne: 152

Finally with a cry for blood, the Iron Born manage to scale the walls, as the Dornish blow their horns, and retreat into the keep Humble slices his way through those two slow to retreat.

Iron Born: 3,360
Jordayne: 650

Round 5:

Humble: 198
Jordayne: 142

The walls of the keep are knocked down, and the Iron born charge forward into the keep slaughtering there way into Jordayne's solar. Jordayne and a handful of his men stand, swords drawn.

"I challenge you Humble! If I win, you take my life, and let my people remain unmolested! If I fall, than do as you wilt. Do common Reavers have enough honor to take such a challenge?"

Iron Born: 3,000
Dornish: 100 (Surrender)

"Drown them all in barrels of wine. Leave Jordayne till last, so that he may watch."

You didn't, so they kept fighting.

I'll have to remember to tell them to put down their weapons before I tell them they're all gonna die next time.

Tytos: I know this is distasteful, but I've been invited to a new RP on a Discord server, discord.gg/xnjMU it's gonna be a little more casual than these forums, no combat system and more player-driven Jan 23, 2017 22:07:20 GMT -5
