Sir Elric gets his lance lower in this run, still a bit high but low enough to ding Sir Bart’s helmet. Sir Bart was looking good until he jereked back attempting to avoid Sir Elric’s lance, missing Sir Elric’s shield in the process.

2 points to Sir Elric, Sir Bart still at 1

Sir Elric looks to have settled in now, a nice low lance and a bit of quick shield action gives him a hit on Sir Bart’s shield while avoiding getting hit himself.
That’s another 2 points for Sir Elric, making it 4-1 with the win of this match going to Sir Elric.

Looks like they are both still warming up a bit, no hits at all this first run

Sir Merridoc has his lance a bit high allowing Sir Arjay to drop his shield enough to avoid a hit. Sir Arjay on the other hand has great lance placement and gets a solid hit on Sir Merriadoc’s shield

One point to Sir Arjay

Looks like Sir Arjay’s horse shied a bit this run putting them too far apart for either to get a good hit. A miss for both

No misplaced horses this time. It looked for a moment they were both going to get a body hit this time but Sir Merridoc’s experience won out and he managed to get his shield up in time to just get a shield hit. Sir Arjay wasn’t as skillful and couldn’t avoid a hit to his arm. Sir Merridoc scores 2 for the body hit and Sir Arjay one for the shield hit.
The score is now tied at 2 each

Both are concentrating hard now and we have a good solid run resulting in a shield hit for each. That adds a point for each making the score 3-3. The match will continue until there is a clear leader.

Sir Merriadoc does some fancy shield work and manages to keep his shield low enough to avoid a hit from Sir Arjay. Sir Arjay on the other hand nearly gets hit in the body but manages to raise his shield up in time to avoid that.  He gets hit solid in the shield instead though, giving a point to Sir Merriadoc.
The win goes to Sir Merriadoc with a score of 4-3

Sir Jaknoi clearly puts his all into this run! He manages to get his lance inside Rubeous Raven’s shield and catches Rubeous upper body armour, lifting him right out of the saddle. Rubeous manages to hit Sir Jaknoi’s shield for a point, but getting unhorsed costs him the match.

A win to Sir Jaknoi of Gacim

JustFred gets off to a solid start, managing to swing his lance inside of Sir Barry’s shield. Sir Barry manages to stay on his horse but can’t avoid a solid hit to his shoulder.  His lance pulls back as he’s hit and he misses entirely.
2 points for Just Fred

It looks close for both but they were just a bit too far apart and they both end up missing.

Sir Barry leans in on a fast run while keeping his shield inside enough to avoid getting hit. His lance swings up at the last moment and he hits JustFred on the helmet. 
That’s 2 points to Sir Barry making it tied 2-2

(http://animobil.info/PFJoust/Marketon/Group%20Rounds/Round%201/D/2/mj-1-d-2-6.jpg)

It looks like it’s going to be a solid shield hit for both this run, but at the last moment Sir Barry drops his shield down enough to avoid getting hit, while keeping his lance steady for the solid hit on JustFred’s shield.
That gives Sir Barry a point making it 3-2 and handing him the win.

That’s it for Group D today.

To sum up we have wins in Goup C by Sir Elric and Sir Merriadoc, and in Group D by Sir Jaknoi of Gacim and Sir Barry Barrington-Smythe

There will be a break now while the Groundsman and his horse Zamboni smooth the field out, and the Royalty take a nice leisurely luncheon. See you all later in the day for Groups E to H

Too bad for Rubeus the Bloodthirsty! Though, as I know him, he must be in a berserking mood. Don't stand on his way to the tavern!

Excellent layout and pics. Very interesting!  Did Elric silence the crowd?  Wonder if they threw jungle juice at him? :)

Go Sir Merriadoc, Go Sir Jaknoi!!

I guess the experience from the first tournament does help somewhat, and of course Sir Merriadocs, grey hairs :-)

JustFred was a little sad to be the loser but then he noticed all the fields of blooming flowers and decided that it would be much more fun to go frolic in the flowers.
