The second Q-staff fight is finally up.
It was interesting indeed as the randomiser gave me the outline where Erbrand first evades beautifully, then performs in a great manner only to be denied by Stigend's evasion and followed by a total beating by Stigend against Erbrand. The first thing concerning Harreld vs. Garstan came up on slot 10.! But then the randomiser went on making Garstan champion over Harreld and there I stopped. We need to see the Erbrand vs. Thornden fight! So I deviated from the randomiser and made Erbrand & Harreld win in the end. Without throwing a dice I now suggest that Erbrand and Harreld should meet Eodwine & Thornden in the semifinal. There is too much risk in making E & H meet Dan & Crabannan and losing - and I wouldn't like to stray from the randomiser again and I really think Erbrand and Thornden need to go for it, whatever way it turns out. I mean if you randomise something and then decide you don't like the outcome you then make it again... and how if you don't like that either? Try the third time? Or the fourth? So what's the status of randomness anymore? --- So Foley and Groin, give me both your thoughts on how your characters would react to hearing the news that they will be set against each other in the fight and how do you see the relative strenghts of them? And lmp as well, if you think Eodwine or Harreld would like to block the possibility of those two fighting each other by insisting on fighting the other of them, let me hear it. Or whatever you think yourt characters would think about the situation...

Btw. Groin please do not think there is anything like moral high-ground in there. Had the situation been reversed I would have surely written the things in the same manner.
So if you unbalance your opponent and he falls backwards he can see you and what you do and thence is still dangerous and you should go for the eliminating blow - but if you manage to throw your opponent face forwards to the ground (and manage to hit him while he falls) he will be out of the game for a moment and unable to parry so there you can think of a wish to not mutilate him if it's a fight for fun and not for life and death... As we talked in the PM's, I do hope this gives you even more possibilities to play with your character! He surely is in a pressing spot now! Not to say that he needs to meet Thornden right away! Some pressure indeed! Also lmp and Lhuna; I hope the "go of it" serves the romance in one way or the other... whatever you decide. And like always, if anything needs to be changed just point it to me and I'll do it.

I'm really enjoying the quarter-staff fights, Nogrod.

Awesome fight description Nogrod. Thanks for having Erbrand move to the next round, although either way would have been entertaining this is just too cool!
Quote:
Well Thornden has got the upper-hand, that is clear to see. However, what Erbrand doesn't have in experience he has in instinct. Having been an experienced hunter, he can be stealthy and quick witted, but he is not (as I have said before) incredibly nimble. However, Erbrand is almost as strong and Harreld (I saw that from a post, I can't remember who posted it). Perhaps if I have time, I'll post something to show how Erbrand is feeling, but I very much doubt that I have time today. You're doing a wonderful job, Nogrod, I absolutely love your fight posts.

I may regret this, but I thought I'd try WISYWIG, or whatever it's called, just to see what it makes available. If anything. |

Thanks Pio!
And nice to see you hanging around. Somehow you're just so invisible otherwise. We should probably make more of these enigmatic statements to get you more involved... Anyway. If someone thinks the Q-staff fights are becoming a bit too violent, Wilcred will call for easier fighting anyway in the next match as he's worried as well. We'll just need to see how the two can hold themselves back.

And sorry Gwath and Eonwë but your characters had no chance in that last one... Well they were professional soldiers anyway up against those two and even if Crabannan made it a fight a war-veteran should do he was just outmatched... and outnumbered...

I'll reply for Saeryn tomorrow, very probably. Sorry I haven't done it sooner - I've been a distracted mess these past two or so days.

WYSIWYG is ok. It doesn't really make much of a difference. I was hoping to be able to do REAL formatting. Oh well.

Foley:
First, would Saeryn speak so freely to Rowenna, with Eodwine sitting at her left (I think), about that which has not yet been spoken of except in general terms? I speak, of course, of the expected union of S & E. Second, if Rowenna were to stay at Scarburg (not saying she will), who would write her in my extended absence? I fear I am going to be quite picky about how Rowenna is handled, as I have drawn her more carefully and exactly than any other character I have here, and I wouldn't like her to change, even inadvertently, except for such changes as come through the rigors of time and circumstance. |

She doesn't have to stay - Saeryn is just hoping she does and trying to suggest a way to make it possible. If that post is inccorect and in ways inappropriate, I can remove it. When writing it, I was really uncertain of it myself... -- Foley

I love it how Folwren takes over and saves all the abandoned, interesting characters...
And guess what people? I know I haven't written anything in ages, but I'm rather busy, and I have the feeling I'm not actually needed currently, so that's why I'm being so silent. If I have spare time and I'm not dead tired some day soon, I'll write something just to keep an appearance, so to speak.

Elempi,
I am sorry to bother you and ask for such a slight alteration but in your post, could you change this: Quote:

A very sensible alteration. Consider it done.
However, your little OOC comment in your last post really must go. Last edited by littlemanpoet; 12-16-2008 at 08:11 PM. |

Perhaps, if you are willing, you can add Rowenna's happy assent to the end of your post, to watch the quarterstaff fights; with appropriate wording. |

I've been overpowered by reality and have not been able to give a single thought to this but happily there seems to be at least something going on! Good to see you on it lmp and Foley!
I'll try to come up with the second semifinal and the final asap.

Your suspicion is incorrect, Eonwe.
Oeric is not my character to write. Nor is Santa Claus. Bored? Yes, I suppose that had something to do with it, but the character had been on my mind for at least a week prior to the post. Kill him? I don't think that would be too easy... |

Well LMP has already given us this first clue: he's a fighter. Hmm... I'm guessing that he's the long lost brother of Eodwine who he use to lockup in the wine cellar and has now come to act his revenge upon Eodwine and his subjects. Am I on the right path?

Has Nogrod disappeared? I am dying to see how the quarterstaff fight goes and who beats whom between Erbrand and Thornden and whether or not one or the other loses his temper....and all that fun stuff.
