A southernly port where cultures and norms of society mix and clash with each other?

A westernly city akin to Marienburg, home of current squire in play?

An easternly outpost at the edge of kingdom's borders, a beginning of thisverse's Silk Road?

A northernly fortress where young men prove themselves in combat with giants, wildlings and mystical beasts?

Centre of the kingdom, trapping the young squire in a thick web of decadent court's schemings and plots?

[Nunzillor]

Hmm, if dishonorable tricks are pretty common in single-combat knight fights, does that mean we should try some?  It might give us an edge since our challenger seems perfectly honorable.

Like tripping, which was mentioned?

[Andres]

-1 to dishonourable stuff. We're in the tournament to win honour. Dishonourable actions will dull our victory at best or get us disqualified at worst.

[Lucus Casius]

Hardly.  We're here to prove our combat abilities, and a man willing to fight with brutal cunning will win more accolades in such an arena from those that matter than those willing to limit themselves.

Now, cheating by sabotaging equipment might ruin things a bit.  But tripping, dirt-throwing, all that?  That's perfectly legitimate and well within the bounds of knighthood.  Gigla is quite right.

[Andres]

Tripping is fine. Dirt-throwing and crotch-kicking isn't, though.

[Lucus Casius]

There's no reason to assume it isn't in this context.

[Andres]

No, I mean seriously, we are NOT kicking a guy's crotch, regardless of the setting. That's sacrosanctum.

Mmkay, he seems to work more on making us shift our sword to a position where we'd leave ourself open..

Side assaults, attempt to move to the side if he charges, then press the assault.

-1 to chanting, we gotta keep our breath and focus entirely on this fight.

This is reasonable! Also, we have more than just a sword, we have a fist too. If we can off balance him with a punch/shove/pull with our free-ish hand, go for it. Learn from our fight with the veteran at the garrison.

+1

If we have to fight dirty, the only real thing that matters at the moment is winning.

+1, as long as we don't do anything that would get us disqualified.

PRESS HARD AGAINST HIM AND WIN THIS!

Lowblows and stuff, sure.  Comic book villain stuff, no.

Charge forward with a feint.  He'll either begin to counter or back up some.  React with those two anticipations in mind.
  See, if he backs up he leaves himself open to stabbing.  If he begins to counter you parry that and continue to push.

[3man75]

No chanting. Press attack. Later on, I think we should try to get back on good - working, friendly - relations with Mattella. Are we really going to leave our relationship the way we did, considering the circumstances?

Why not? I say we should find a Merchants Daugher to marry. We'll have a smart wife at least

EDIT: I know this is mean but come on ppl wouldn't you marry upwards? Tell me no and i'll call you a liar.

EDIT 2: Our lord knows not of our cleansed mark lets not draw attention hmm? No chanting now or after. Win or lose we walk out.

Watch the other fighters. It was a mistake not to do so last time and we wouldn't have been hit so much if our opponent hadn't watched us when we were fighting. Do we still have the same stats or has our Sword skill gone up since we started training/tournamenting?

That and we should thank the other contestant for a wonderful fight, and let him know that we hope to carry his skill and honor into the next victory.
