Super Fun Tournament this weekend

Post by Jean Paul de Sens »

Went to Dragonfire Tor's Guardian of the Tor event this weekend. 4 HOUR BEARPIT.

5 Counted blows.
No shield bigger than 18" in diameter.

As you might guess, *my* legs are a bit bruised....

some of other guys, well, they are worse off :)

Totally fun, and exhausting...

he forgot to mention it was blows retained. So if Jean Paul and I were fighting, and I hit him 3 times and he me me 5, I'd leave the field, get 1 point, and he'd get 2, but when his next opponent came on the field, they started of 0-3. So even an awesome fighter couldn't hold the field for turn after turn. The least experienced fighter on the field would get hits on the best and knock them off the field.

I wish I hadn't gotten rear-ended on Wednesday and couldn't fight!
