What are the smoke-trails?

Horses made of fire.

[Parsely]

I don't think there are any female characters here.

[GreatWyrmGold]

There are NPCs, mares, and at least one female knight.
The one I commented on the impractical outfit of.

[Slothman400]

Sharpen my weapons.

OK, all participants with a by their name now have their Actions up for grabs.  Anyone can suggest their Actions, first suggestion for a player will be accepted.

[Dwarmin]

((Ooops))

Action: Ophidia also sharpens her cute demonic talons with her basalt nail file. For more cutting power!

[Parsely]

Sam Stone gets naked in the street.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Stone: Sit next to his horse and watch.
Hemingworth: Whip the horse. That'll help.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

If I were a lady at court, I'd like to know your source for that last bit.


Use my LANCERY skill to begin teaching Triste how to BRAWL more efficiently.

((Oh man I know what I'd be doing right now if I were evil.))

Question: just what kinds of actions can we expect to accomplish the same turn we're jousting? Do we have to stay on the horse or something? (I imagine hulk hogan over there doing a handstand during the charge)

[Gervassen]

I did my action long ago.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Antigones tries to get with a (real) lady horse.
