This Wilderness...

It's a [Why, no, she did not just go ask a squire wtf that thing is. She'd forgotten.] jousting arena.

[ooc: Come on down, folks, the log is open!]

c: chosen, c: king, wilderness: jousting, c: victory, c: cara, lady knight, c: lucy, c: spike, laziness isn't a virtue

Jousting? I could stand to work out a little aggression. Bridge and I'll be down in a bit.

healing_death July 16 2009, 22:27:51 UTC

Is that a request for a round, Spike?

blue_shields July 16 2009, 22:36:52 UTC

If you're willing.

healing_death July 16 2009, 23:04:11 UTC

I'm willing.

Jousting? Victory not heard of jousting... [a pause] What jousting?

congrats. She's remembering this because she has to explain it. XP healing_death July 16 2009, 22:27:09 UTC

It's a mounted sport...

I believe... it helps the rider to learn mounted combat and keep skills fresh. Generally, there are... multiple skills tested. Use of the lance, sword fighting - mounted, and sword fighting - dismounted. But I suppose it varies with the tournament.

Points are assigned for certain hits on the body, and total dismounts are generally very good. In this case, I believe victors get coins.

Yay for pings? X) chieftainess July 17 2009, 09:54:12 UTC

Mounted combat... [a few thoughtful scribbles here]

Victory no fight with weapon... but sound fun! Victory come look!

Oh, there you are!

Jousting? I don't think I've ever seen that before--I'll have to come have a look!

healing_death July 17 2009, 00:14:44 UTC

I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving. Did you manage the stall without me?

I believe there will be a match between Spike and myself soon.

feathered_earth July 17 2009, 00:45:09 UTC

Yep, no problems!

I'll have to come watch!

healing_death July 17 2009, 00:59:14 UTC

Thank you for that. I owe you.

hunny_sensor July 17 2009, 00:40:14 UTC
