yomi Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 No break to get snacks?Well, doesn't matter. We are queen, We can watch the match while someone else gets Us snacks. Hey, servant! Bring Us some nuts roasted in honey and a keg of mead, please. Huh, Ser Jonothor unhorsed Ser Barnabas. That was quick. Next would normally be Ser Howyrd Loserguy against Ser Baelor Bracken, but in order to give the maesters some more time to patch brave Ser Baelor together, we'll have the other two quarterfinals first, so the next pair are Ser Otorin Painsworth and Tormund Giantsbane.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yes indeed--the pain and the bane! Now there's a great slogan. Too bad I was surprised by Mr. Giantsbane's entry or I could have done a buildup in the advance heralding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 So Painsworth will leave Tormund in pain, but Giantsbane will bane Ser Otorin from the competion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 ...Your Grace, I don't think bane can be used as a verb. Of course our fair Queen may make it a verb if she chooses. At any rate we shall see if the Bane can withstand the Pain. :D Wow! Both men shattered their lances on each others' shields in the first tilt. I haven't seen so many splinters in years! Tied at 1 point each after the first pass. It is rather worrying me that this Giantsbane fellow's helm leaves his face so very uncovered in comparison to his competitors. Do you suppose that means he's poor, fearless, or foolhardy? I should so hate to see someone's eyes gouged out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Vielleicht sollten Wir einfach von all Unseren Untertanen erwarten, dass sie deutsch verstehen, damit Wir Uns nicht in einer Fremdsprache ausdrücken müssen. Anyway, We guess it means that he is a wildling and that, while he is quiet able to joust, he doesn't know to much about it. We agree about the eyes though. People should be blinded by Our beauty, not by splinters. And while this is a very fascinating picture with an equally fascinating story behind it, We would not like to bear witness to such an event Ourself.So We shall send one of Our Queensguard to Tormund to offer him a proper jousting helmet right know before the second tilt.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I only know what that first part was (roughly) because of the Weirnet Translation service (aka Google Translate). Most kind and gracious of your majesty to send a helm for Mr. Giantsbane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Ah, Our kingsguard was persuasive enough to convince Tormund to accept the helmet. Hm, maybe we should let Ser Merlon Crakehall and Lyonel Dayne joust first, so that Tormund has a bit of time to get used to the new helmet? Please announce this, my dear Lady.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 *clears throat, mutters about finding a herald* Ladies and gentlemen, and everybody else not sitting on a cushion, Her Majesty has decreed that the next match shall be Ser Merlon Crakehall against Lyonel Dayne! Gentlemen, stand you ready? Then play ball...er...joust away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 That... wow... that was a surprise. Lyonel unhorsed Ser Crakehall. Are you sure that the young Dayne is inexperienced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Not totally inexperienced, just less experienced than most of our entrants. This young man is definitely strong. I believe he is one of the Daynes of High Hermitage. Gerold's little brother perhaps. Yes, that was indeed surprising! Ser Merlon does not seem very happy about it either. Why he hasn't been unhorsed since...I don't even recall the last time he was unhorsed. It might have been before I was born. Next up Ser Howyrd Loserguy meets Ser Baelor Bracken. It seems the maesters have done well--Ser Baelor looks as fit as his opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 And for the first time in this tourney, someone gets a helm hit. The score stands at 1 for Ser Howyrd and 2 for Ser Baelor, with two more tilts to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yes, there we saw one of the many reason why it is sensible to wear a good helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Indeed, Your Grace! And in the second pass Ser Howyrd strikes a good one to Ser Baelor's chest while Ser Baelor's lance glances to the right. The score is now tied, 2-2. It all comes down to the final tilt for this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Wow, Ser Howyrd threw Ser Baelor of his horse! That's already the second time he managed to do that in this tourney. But maybe Ser Baelor still had some problems due to his injuries from his previous joust? He seems in pain, now. Ah, there are maesters and servants running to help him.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Congratulations to Ser Howyrd. Your Majesty, I took the liberty of arranging for one of your personal maesters to examine those injured from the quarter-finals onward in the tourney. Ser Baelor will be in excellent hands! Ser Otorin Painsworth and Tormund Giantsbane, report to the lists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Very well, We are pleased to hear that Ser Baelor will be in good care. So, let's see how Tormund will manage with the new helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Not well on the first tilt at least. Ser Otorin got a solid hit and Tormund's lance was nowhere near him. A one point advantage can certainly be overcome, but Tormund is obviously having trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Well, better to have trouble than to get a lance through your eye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Quite true, Your Grace. Quite true! Second tilt...another hit for Ser Otorin as Tormund continues to struggle. This is looking bad for our Wildling friend, but great for Ser Otorin. The only way Tormund can win now is if he somehow manages to unhorse his opponent. Did I just see him wink at that Rayder fellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
