Sir William d'Aubigny vs. Earl Waleran de Beaumont

Post by Cearnach » Sat Sep 18, 2021 6:47 pm

The match between Sir William d'Aubigny and Waleran de Beaumont opens with the customary pleasantries and dipping of lances.

Unfortunately, as the horses make their way down the list, churning up mud, Sir William is unable to quite get a fix on the Earl.

Joust tilt 1: Lance, tn 15: 1d20 17
Gm * Man of Angles * Sionnach * Scealai *

Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,/Every poem an epitaph. And any action/Is a step to the block, to the fire, down the sea's throat/Or to an illegible stone: and that is where we start.
We die with the dying:/See, they depart, and we go with them./We are born with the dead:/See, they return, and bring us with them./The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree/Are of equal duration. A people without history/Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern/Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails/On a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel/History is now and England

Earl Waleran is not so unfortunate, however, and is able to catch Sir William in the shield.

For his part, Sir William goes sailing through the air and lands flat on his back in the center of the lists.



Waleran de Beaumont is the victor!

Of course, he is more than a little concerned for his opponent's welfare, and rushes over along with the medics to make sure he is okay.

Turns out, he is little the worse for wear, and is able, with a little help, to walk off the lists, much to the relief of the crowd.
