Fans of the sport may care to peruse Uriah of Gelderland's Guide to Good Jousting, a page of our Steel and Steed blog.
In the foot Combats Sir Elliot the Bastard of Alnwick twice over pushed his opponent down, and proceeded to beat them severely. Lord Farthingdale is still suffering a -1 Str as a result of his injuries.
Winning the Joust however is a matter of artistry and accuracy. Sir Elliot may struggle here, not least against the Champion Sire du Quincy and the veteran Sir Micheal. Even poor Farthingdale has proven himself to be focussed on his jousting. This could go to any of them...
The Joust
Lord Farthingdale of Waldridge
Vs
The Sire de Quincy, Lord of the Grange Villas.
Sir Micheal of Shraner Castle
Vs
Elliot, the Bastard of Alnwick.
In the first round of Jousting Sir Roger Quilp, Lord of Belmont was unhorsed and severely injured, earning Lord Farthingdale prestige from the crowd and the favour of Lady Brunhild, now wrapped around his great helm.
Sir James Coxpole had briefly attracted the Lady, breaking his Lance on The Sire du Quincy, but was unfortunately then beaten by Quincy in the remainder of the match, (Quincy being a Champion and far more skilled opponent.)

| The Heroes of the Joust line up before the Earl... |
 |
| And it's the Bastard vs Sir Michael of Shraner Castle |
 |
| Sir Micheal breaks his lance on the Bastard. 2 points |
 |
| The third pass, Sir Michael again breaks his lance. The Bastard fails his Stability test and but Sir Micheal 's thrust technique is not strong enough to put him out. Inevitably however the Veteran wins on points |
 |
| Lord Farthingdale actually has a higher dice pool than Champion Quincy. A clean pass, one point. |
 |
| Lord Farthingdale breaks his lance, two points. He fails to unhorse the Champion. |
 |
| The final pass, Lord Farthingdale gains another point. Four points to three, Farthingdale wins the match. Well played Sir! |
 |
| Lord Farthingdale, he of the unusual heraldic badge, faces the Knight Micheal of Shraner Castle in the final. |
 |
| The first pass, Lord Micheal is past the midway point. He re rolls one JST dice and rolls a critical 10... He breaks his lance against Sir Hugh de Farthingdale, who rolls a stability test of...2, and is thrown from his horse. Worse, the Str test of 9 that the veteran produces injures Lord F. A roll of 5 and the Knight of the Rampant Phallus is concussed. Hello? Hello? Lady Brunhild will be disappointed. |
