The Duskendale Tournament - Joust

[Deleted]

I feel I should add here - if Dougal rides his new horse in the joust, he should have a slight advantage since my Breeding skill is Beginner.

Does horsemanship skill factor into jousts at all?

Not necessarily. A lot of jousters have their own horse whom they train with many times and get a feel for, as the horse gets accustomed to the rider and vice versa. A new horse right before the tourney could actually mess him up.

Good point.

Dougal IS riding Sandstorm in the joust, but, for now I'd say everything evens out, as the advantage of a superior horse would offset the unfamiliarity. Maybe later down the line it may add an advantage, but not yet.

Mystery Knight: Crooked purple Tree being Struck by Gold lightning() vs. Vardis Pryor (Apprentice)

Round One

The Mystery knight is moving stiffly and slowly upon the back of his fine mare. And when he digs into to charge his horse runs forward several feet then veers to the right, almost all of the knight tumbles to the ground, and Pryor rides by with his lance raised.

The a steel boot is still in the stirrup as the horse trots away to eat the grass. And the Knight lies on the ground unable to move. As attendents run over they remove the helmet and see the face of Prince Rodrick stuffed into armor that is far too large for the boy. He smiles and waves at the crowd, but can not stand until he is helped from his breast plate.

Pryor wins the match.
