Meynard has a hammer, not a sword

Meynard swings his hammer in a wide arc, attempting to brutalise his foes, or at least break their weapons

Blast. Hold on everyone, and I'll rewrite the action.

Edit: Sorry about that. Corrected.

Sir Keardwall, now suddenly finding himself on his arse after the frenchman's spear made it through his armour, boggles in surprise for a moment at the sight of his spleen bouncing out across the courtyard floor.
Thankfully, with Medieval medical knowledge and little idea of really what that thing is, where it came from or how it benifited him in the first place, he's not unduly worried. Instead of panicking, he shall whip his sword about above his head to keep the foe at bay, shouting defiantly all the while, red in the face,
"Back, you wretched turd-sniffing bastards! Back I say! My noble severed spleen is thrice the man any of you frog-licking, piddling philanderers could ever hope to be! I shall mince the lot of ye! I'll snap ye like twigs! I'll- Oh to hell with it, come closer so I can kill you already!"
He shall fend them off from the ground with sword and glare long enough to leap to his feet and carry on the battle, trying not to slip on his misplaced spleen. Which is quite possible turning to stone right now, severed from his body as it is.



((Oh my goodness, I'm having a lot of fun with this. :P I didn't particularly expect the battle to end up like Sir Keardwall predicted, but ah well! I'll make it end as well as he'd predicted, too!))

Oh goodness gracious this is hilarious, and gets moreso every turn.

Sir Feyman descends the stairs to their lower level, hoping the resistance is much lower there. He cannot properly aid his companions in battle, for not only does he lack an arm, but he was trained in the intellectual rather than physical arts.
It is still a miracle he was able to get this far, though. When he is done descending, he looks around and tries to get a feel for the area.
He whispers to himself: "Blast that Meynard! Ey kneweth none of them could be fully trusted with my life. But I will progress further on my own time!"

RAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!
Sir Conchobar launches into a berserker rage, using the chamber pot as a battering ham ram, headbutting anything making noise in front of him while swinging fiddles in large arks, almost spinning on the spot.

(The only thing worse than Sir Conchobar's face is Sir Conchobar's face covered in excrement.)

Twelfth turn!
England; the Dark Ages; Castle Lombard; nearly the hour of the ram.
 
Sir Keardwall, now suddenly finding himself on his arse after the Frenchman’s spear made it through his armour, boggles in surprise for a moment at the sight of his spleen bouncing out across the courtyard floor.
Thankfully, with Medieval medical knowledge and little idea of really what that thing is, where it came from or how it benefited him in the first place, he's not unduly worried. Instead of panicking, he shall whip his sword about above his head to keep the foe at bay, shouting defiantly all the while, red in the face, "Back, you wretched turd-sniffing bastards! Back I say! My noble severed spleen is thrice the man any of you frog-licking, piddling philanderers could ever hope to be! I shall mince the lot of ye! I'll snap ye like twigs! I'll- Oh to hell with it, come closer so I can kill you already!" He shall fend them off from the ground with sword and glare long enough to leap to his feet and carry on the battle, trying not to slip on his misplaced spleen. Which is quite possibly turning to stone right now, severed from his body as it is.

As the Frenchmen advance upon his fallen body, Sir Keardwall cries bloody murder whilst fending them off. He whirls his sword above his reddened head! He catches one of the closest trio about the legs; they are clean removed! He smacks a second in the head, and caves in the skull! They are both knocked down! He strikes into the third man’s midriff: his sword is caught within! The Frenchman leaks out of the gaping wound, but as the fighting Sir Keardwall rises to his feet, he cannot wrest his sword out of the Frenchman’s stony heart. But at least he is struck down!
 
Seeing three of their comrades cut apart before them, the Frenchmen are dismayed. They continue to step forward to engage the valiant and now standing Keardwall, but with his swiftly moving shield he fends off every spear! One of them slips on a passing spleen [6]! He is struck down!
 
Wound Acquired Severed spleen! Heavy bleeding!
 
Meynard swings his hammer in a wide arc, attempting to brutalise his foes, or at least break their weapons

With two before him and uncounted numbers behind, Sir Meynard the Sure is sadly surrounded by scurrilous Frenchtypes. On his single working leg he doth pivot: his speeding hammer of doom flies about in a murderous arc! He catches one enemy full upon the temple. It doth explode! The hammer continues into another’s chest. It disappears in a mist! Yet another foe is struck by the mighty Drakhen, this time in the face. It disintegrates! And then a fourth man attempts to raise his arm to stop the foul flailing weapon, but his arm is struck clean off! As a fifth Frenchman ducks, he leaves the path open for a final surrounding Frenchman’s head to be cleaved in twain. It is smashed into tiny parts!
 
As Sir Meynard the Bloodthirsty ceases his death-dealing spin, he notices that the area all about him is smothered in blood and bits. He is soaked through! The French flee from his gory visage!
 
Wound Still Acquired! Broken leg!
 
RAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!
Sir Conchobar launches into a berserker rage, using the chamber pot as a battering ham ram, headbutting anything making noise in front of him while swinging fiddles in large arks, almost spinning on the spot.

As these various blood and bits are spread about the castle courtyard, unbeknownst to the toilet-hooded Conchobar, the valiant but sight-disadvantaged knight enters into the foulest and largest rage. He head butts a taunting Frenchman before him: he is knocked down and lightly stunned! Sir Conchobar the Gruesome almost spins on the spot, swinging Fiddles the man-club in ever-increasing radii of death! Not a single French soldier is hit! Several flee the potted barbarian; the rest back off!

One brave man steps forward to engage the mighty Conchobar however, and thrusts out his perfidious spear. It is caught by the spinning Fiddles! It flies off into a Frenchman’s brain! It is sprained! He is struck down! The brave man ducks below the rotating weapon, but Fiddles sticks down an armoured fist! He knocks the brave man unconscious! His teeth fall out!

The French forces are grievously smited; their heart for battle is wearing thin: they appear on the verge of giving up before these fearsome foes of the Round Table and their frightful assault.

Sir Feyman descends the stairs to their lower level, hoping the resistance is much lower there. He cannot properly aid his companions in battle, for not only does he lack an arm, but he was trained in the intellectual rather than physical arts.
It is still a miracle he was able to get this far, though. When he is done descending, he looks around and tries to get a feel for the area.
He whispers to himself: "Blast that Meynard! Ey kneweth none of them could be fully trusted with my life. But I will progress further on my own time!"

Away from the raucous and, one might argue, uncivilised din of battle, Sir Feyman descends the stairs to their lower level, finding that resistance is much lower there [5]. In fact, he finds nothing but an infestation of rats. Using the acute powers of his formidable intellect, he realises that, should he rid the cellar of this infestation, perhaps the cellar owner would yield some vital information pertaining to the location of the Grail!

"Aha! You see, no stomach for a real fight, these foreign types! Carry on, Sir Meynard, I shall be right along in a moment! Not like these wretches offer much more challenge than a training dummy anyhow, eh?! Now, where'd that spleen of mine get to..."

The brave, battered and still-bellowing Sir Keardwall shall set aside his shield, place one foot upon the face of his improvised, human scabbard and wrench his sword free, then clean and sheath it and grab up his severed, trodden-on spleen in both hands. "Now, I am quite sure this thing must be important." Lacking any form of physician in the heat of battle, he will head quickly to the kitchens or similiar to find a jar, hopefully filled to the brim with some sort of pickled substance, and place the noble, wounded organ inside. He can get someone to re-attach it later!
Then it is time to catch up to Meynard, jar in one hand and sword in the other, to finish off the rest of this slimy lot.

Thirteenth turn!
England; the Dark Ages; Castle Lombard; a little past the hour of the ram.
 
"Aha! You see, no stomach for a real fight, these foreign types! Carry on, Sir Meynard, I shall be right along in a moment! Not like these wretches offer much more challenge than a training dummy anyhow, eh?! Now, where'd that spleen of mine get to..."

The brave, battered and still-bellowing Sir Keardwall shall set aside his shield, place one foot upon the face of his improvised, human scabbard and wrench his sword free, then clean and sheath it and grab up his severed, trodden-on spleen in both hands. "Now, I am quite sure this thing must be important." Lacking any form of physician in the heat of battle, he will head quickly to the kitchens or similiar to find a jar, hopefully filled to the brim with some sort of pickled substance, and place the noble, wounded organ inside. He can get someone to re-attach it later!
Then it is time to catch up to Meynard, jar in one hand and sword in the other, to finish off the rest of this slimy lot.


The brave Sir Keardwall the Stony, Defeater of Bandits, places his foot on the face of the Frenchman offending him even in gruesome death, and yanks upon his sword [1]. It snaps! His morale is battered! He turns his attention instead to his severed spleen, and discards his shield before diving on the slippery organ, bellowing that it must be important. Catching it in both hands, he dashes away from the battlefield with great urgency, ransacking the nearby kitchens until he finds a satisfactory receptacle in which to stow his sliced off piece. He finds a full jar of pickled eggs ! He carefully wipes the grit off the spleen and places it inside for safekeeping and, he hopes, later use [3].

Aware of his knightly contract of honour to his fellow adventurers, Sir Keardwall sprints out of the kitchen to re-enter the fight. He comes face to face with a French sergeant-at-arms! Having neither sword nor shield to fight with, he holds the jar before him like a holy relic and punches the sergeant in the face! He flies back some hundred feet, and smashes against the castle outer wall [6]: it commences to crumble! The Frenchman is struck down!

Wound Acquired Severed spleen! Heavy bleeding!
 
HOP in chase of the fleeing frenchie

Witness to the fresh destruction wrought upon his countrymen and their castle, the lone soldier before Sir Meynard attempts to escape his frenzied grasp; but the one-legged knight is too fast! He hops after the miscreant, and brings his mighty warhammer down upon the crown of his head. He snaps his skull! He is struck down!

Meynard Froths an Affirmative

Sir Meynard the Sure, Bringer of Gory Death, comes face to face with the Sir Keardwall the Exteriorly Spleened, and together they renew the English assault on the French. They French retreat! They start to flee before this grisly sight!

Wound Still Acquired! Broken leg!

Attempt to remove chamberpot from head. Apply chamberpot to head of nearest Frenchman.

As the French soldiers stream out of the castle, they run past a preoccupied Sir Conchobar, who is attempting to remove a chamber pot from his face and head. He is not having great success [2], but in his wild and blinded flailing he happens to strike a fleeing foe in the face with his armoured bonce. He strikes him down! The French retreat soon turns into a rout; there appeareth not to be a single soldier left about.

Titles Acquired!

Sir Keardwall the Exteriorly Spleened, Stony Defeater of Bandits!

Sir Meynard the Sure, Hopping Bringer of Gory Death!

Sir Conchobar the Gruesome, Potted Insulter of Mothers!

Rid yonder cellar of yonder rats! These rats are nothing to my mighty blade!

In fact, very soon the only combat occurring in the thrice-cursed castle is in the cellar, where the still cow-attired Sir Feyman fights nobly against a swarm of fetid rodents. He slays first one; he slays another; but then one of the pustulent pests jumps up to invade his cowsuit, and slips down his leg! It starts to gnaw his foot! Arm waving about his panicked body in the stinking dark, Feyman fails to notice the last step into the cellar: he slips and is knocked out [1]!
