Marketon: Playoffs Round One

[Tiermann]

First run out looks like the two are feeling each other out, solid shield hits for both.

Score tied at 1

[Tiermann]

Looks like they’ve found each other’s measure, good shield work on both sides results in a miss for both. Still tied at 1

[Tiermann]

Looks like Sir Jaknoi had a trick or two left yet, a quick dip of his shield causes Lord Etir to just come up with air, while Sir Jaknoi gets a nice shield hit off of Lord Etir.

Score now 2 for Sir Jaknoi and 1 for Lord Etir

[Tiermann]

Ah, Sir Jaknoi’s made an error there, he got his shield too far forward and allowed Lord Etir to get a glancing blow off his arm. Sir Jaknoi kept the match alive though by managing a shield hit.

The score is tied again, this time at 3 each

[Tiermann]

Sir Jaknoi kept his shield back this time but Lord Etir got above it for a helmet strike. Another shield hit isn’t enough for Sir Jaknoi to keep the match alive this time.

Lord Etir Sayest wins the match 5 points to Sir Jaknoi’s 4 and will advance to the next round against Sir Elric.

The Groundsman and Zamboni are out on the field for a smooth down, so we will take a minute here to talk about the great refreshments here at Marketon Jousting Grounds.
They’re featuring
 Krull Ale –If it tastes like Ale, it must be Krull!
and Jungle Juice – It’s Fruit!

Two of the most popular and well known beverages in the Jousting World.

They sure are great Vanidel!

Yes they are Sir Edward!

[Tiermann]

We’re back to action now as our next contestants come out on the field.

We have Sir Adler of Saxony

[Tiermann]

up against Sir Lawrence of Cashtown


Two experienced competitors here

[Tiermann]

A quick move to flick his lance above Sir Adler’s shield pays off for Sir Lawrence and he manages a shoulder tap. Sir Adler got a shield strike off of Sir Lawrence.

Score Sir Lawrence 2, Sir Adler 1

They had some real speed going there, Sir Lawrence’s horse lost his head feather.

That can happen in the heavier play, a lot of that fancy work is really more for parading than jousting.

[Tiermann]

No lance flicks this run, just a solid pair of shield strikes.

That’s not going to be enough for Sir Adler though. Sir Lawrence wins the match with 3 to Sir Adler’s 2 and will move on to the second round of playoffs.
