The Grand Tourney at the Marillion

[Shaitan]

Let the Games Begin!

Post 2 has been updated with the actual scores to be used in the contests today. Everything is ready for the events to begin for our 15 contestants.

I will be posting event results and awards periodically throughout the day. The final events will be the big ticket items - the grand melee, high joust and circuit horserace.

Comments from spectators and contestants are very welcome. Be as verbal as you'd like!

Refreshments provided are a full bar from the Rebel Pub for all contestants. A beer and non-dizzy bar from the Rebel Pub for all spectators. The Bakerie de Plexus has provided every concievable baked snack you could ask for throughout the day. The banquet after the contests is being catered by the Cattleman Smokehouse. Contestants can pick anything off of their menu. They're also supplying a pit roast side of beef for the spectators.

There's also a gigantic cinammon cake as the banquet centerpiece and desert, supplied by the Bakerie de Plexus. Yummy!

If you're hungry or thirsty just post what you want. If a bartender is handy they'll bring it to you. If there aren't any about then the Marillion staff will serve you quietly and efficiently (meaning your order being filled won't be posted but assume you got whatever you asked for).

The Grand Tourney will include the following events:

• High Joust - The traditional knight on knight with a lance. Single elimination. Requires: horse, armor, shield, lance/spear.

Nope. I'll compile from that thread and this one. I do need to know what events you will compete in, though.

I am a skilled defender with both shield and armor, and can ride my Medium Warhorse with sufficient speed and precision. However, I excel at mounted and close ground combat with spears, longswords, and broadswords. I fight with ferocity and speed, utilizing the added speed of a horse to overwhelm my opponents or by constantly attacking with a sword until they become tired and weak. My unique weaponry (Phalanx shields, longswords, broadswords, and pikes) is unlike that used by most warriors.

I own a medium warhorse for the mounted events, and I can muster up just about any weapon you can think of (I do after all own my own weapons shop.) And all my weapons are iron.

I am a Hunter. I have exceptional skill with Bow and Arrow, Spear, and Sword. I attack bears and wolves from horseback or the ground. I am a fisherman and fish the streams with my spear. I am a trapper and handle the quickest and wildest of vermin. I am a Skier and can strike with a spear or an arrow at great speed. My Hunter, Lit, is also very skilled at racing in the snow.

I, as all my ancestors before me, am an archer, while many a summer day of riding at St. Mark's Point along the beaches have made me an excellent rider. If my simple riding horse be a disadvantage, so be it.

Events
Horse racing
Steeplechase
Archery
Wardart, javelin, spear throw
Performence Horsemenship
Mock Hunt

Also, should the tournement need a more mountainous terrain then that of Seabrake for it's contests, St. Mark's Point, and the Octavia Manor may be used.

UPDATE

@ALL - The events have been updated to show the required equipment. Please make sure you have the necessary items to compete in your events. Another event (Grand Brawl) has also been added. For all equestrian events, please state the type of horse you will be using for the event as this can matter a great deal. Please also state if your armor, shield and/or sword are iron if you are involved in any event that requires them.

Post 2 was updated to show all of the character stats, point totals for each event, and ineligibility for events based on the character stats. Note that all of the defined events are listed here though not every event will be held at the Tourney (notably absent are duels and wrestling). Stats can be changed before the Tourney begins. Once the Tourney has started these will be the stats we grow from.

@CivGeneral - You need to distribute 5 points among the main abilities (Defense, Horsemanship and Weaponry). You have too many points among the subabilities (total must be 15, you have 16). You have signed up for the wardart throw but cannot compete in this event as you have no WEAPONRY:Hurled ability.

@Plexus - You have signed up for the Grand Melee but cannot compete as you have no DEFENSE:Shield ability. You have signed up for Wrestling but we don't have that scheduled.

@jdd2007 - You have signed up for the High Joust but cannot compete as you have no HORSEMANSHIP:Speed ability.

 

[donsig]

I hereby offer a purse of 500g to the winner of the horse race. (Not the steeplechase, the circuit race.)

I just bought a thouroughbred and named him Golden Tlax.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

[jdd2007]

I am not going to compete in the high joust as planned, but i am currently training to battle in:

The Lists
The Grand melee
Duel, Armor/Shield
Duel, Shield
Duel, Armor

the best of luck to all!

[Plexus]

Shaitan, I have edited my numbers to include sheilding... though my Melee does take a two point hit. Please update your records accordingly. Thanks.

 

[disorganizer]

Is it really possible to edit the values? I dont think so, but if yes i also would like to. But i really think we shouldnt be allowed to do that.
