PS. (this time meaning "pro-scriptum") If you wish not to spoil the fight, read the actual thread first...

But to all those wishing to have a sneak-view behind the scenes of the first match here's the deal.

I only managed to advance to the 11th. step. Both Dan and Osmund would have had some nice moves just coming... But this really ended quickly - and just the way it should have if one looks at how it went... Scary

So what is it?

XH is X gives a hit to someone
XFH is X gives a forceful hit to someone eg. makes a great performance
XK is X makes a winning move against someone

*

The number of hits given to any person involved is in proportion to their stamina and energy, the number of forceful hits is in proportion to their strengtht, superior agility or balance gives one the possibility of ducking a hit etc... And all that was run through a randomiser (this is just plain wonderful site!) giving me this result. You'll see it verbalised in the thread.

I may upgrade my system for the next round actually adding some "outstanding saving manouvers" there as well so that it's not only the number of hits coming first to determine the result. Well, it was not so much of that this time but I can see it might go that way pretty easily, with less outstanding luck.

And if Harreld and Erbrand have issues, those need to take precedence. So what do you think elempi and Groin?

* Of course A means Aethelstan, O means Osmund, D is for Dan and C for Crabannan...

Gwath and Eonwë

I made a short dialogue between your characters in the beginning of my post and I dared to enter Crabannan's mind in the latter part of the post. Please let me know if it's okay or if I should change something.

Excellent job Nogrod, you did a wonderful job with capturing the action!

Foley, you did fine with Erbrand. That's probably what I would've written as well.

You paired Harreld and Erbrand up? This will be awkward!

I think that this will mean that they will act less like a team and more like individuals. What do you think Elempi?

The posting button isn't working for me on the Scarburg Hall so I'm going to post Erbrand's response here. If one of y'all could post it for me in the RPG I will be very grateful.

“That is what I wished in the first place, but if you will not seek me out in the games I will seek you out and force you to fight against me!”

Erbrand’s temper had cooled since his outburst against Thornden’s first scolding, and with the coming of Harreld his temper lessened. Nevertheless, he was agitated by the smith’s prying about his private quarrel with Harreld.

“As for you master blacksmith,” Erbrand said, “I did not know that this matter concerned you.”

“This matter concerns my friend, you best be getting ready now.”

The smith was stern in his speech, and it wounded Erbrand again being told what to do.
For two long years Erbrand had been pitied or rejected for his solitude. This was not what he wanted and his temper had become hotter and his attitude colder towards his prying neighbors of Aldburg, Harreld sounded just like them and it brought those unpleasant memories. His fists were clenched as if ready to strike and resist the familiar words of rebuke. Erbrand was tired of being shoved around, but he still had the wits to see that he could only make matters worse by staying, so with a slight nod he left both of them.

Should that post for Erbrand be attached to the end of Foley's last post rather than after the first Q-staff fight? I'm happy with how it is now - and thanks Kath for acting on it. But storywise it would fit better before the fight as they should watch out the first game and concentrate on their match...

Not a big deal, that is, just a suggestion...

Folwren · 12-08-2008, 05:44 PM

I can put it at the end of mine if no one else has posted it.

Does that mean that Erbrand and Thornden have to fight now? I mean, if he's officially asked him to...or something...

I have to get back to class. I'll see if someone else posted Groin's post, and if not, I'll do so, and then I'm out of here.

Ha ha, I could imagine the two chasing each other around the ring, Thornden trying to get away and Erbrand trying to brain him with a staff!

Erbrand really wants to fight Thornden and has insisted on it, so I'm sure there would be no disgrace if Thornden accepts the challenge. However, if he declines... *rubs his hands in anticipation*
