You lean against the arena wall with Reinhardt. It's been a few minutes since he angrily dragged his little brother off to have a word with him, and right now you and the other are waiting for him to return. The guards were kind enough to let him speak to his brother, on the condition that he allow one of them to go as well in case his brother tries to run off.

“I told you that guy was suspicious.” Reinhardt says smugly.

“Congratulations, you picked up that the guy wearing a heavy travelers cloak in hot weather looked suspicious. If we were still in Morsland I'm sure Gregory would give you a promotion.” You tell him sarcastically.

“Whatever. I'd have never guessed that it was Roland's brother though. No idea why a noble would bother stealing somebody's coin purse though. Any theories?”

“None at all. I'm sure Roland will get it out of him though. Did you see how pissed off he was when he saw who it was?”

“Nah, I was too busy talking to the guard. Don't blame him though.”

You continue to wait. At this rate the archery competition will start before they get back. Just as you start thinking that, someone you haven't met before approaches you.

“Siegfried Schmidt?”

“That's me. Something you need?”

“I'm a messenger from House Lione. I was told to come find you and tell you that the Lione family would like you to come to their estate so they can speak with you.”

“Right now? But the archery tournament is starting soon and one of the members of my honor guard is going to be participating.”

“My apologies sir. However, the Lione family has important business later today, so I'm afraid this is the only chance they'll have to speak with you. Should you choose to come, the Lione estate can be found in the noble district of town.”

His message delivered, the messenger goes about his business. Just as he leaves, you see Roland come out of the alley with his brother. He massages his temples, says something to the guard, and heads over to you.

“Sorry about that. Seems a lot has happened since I left home.”

“What's wrong?”

Roland sighs. “Well, apparently my brother had a bit of an argument with my father and decided to run away from home about a week ago. He was laying low here, but the money he brought with him finally ran out and he got desperate. Speaking of which, I'm sorry about this whole mess Reinhardt.”

“No need to apologize, you're not the one who tried to steal my coin purse.” Reinhardt says.

“Yes, well I doubt Alfred will apologize himself, so I felt I should do it for him. In any case, I'm going to have to head back home with him now and try to sort this mess out. I came to check with you and make sure it's okay that I leave.”

“You don't have to ask my permission Roland. What time to do you think you'll be back?”

“With luck, late tonight. Although it sounds like this might take a while to sort out, so I might not be back until tomorrow morning, before the tournament.”

“Sounds rough. Will you be alright?”

“Yeah, I'll be fine. Just not looking forward to dealing with father while he's angry is all.”

Seems like Roland has it rough. For a brief moment you consider offering to go with him, but then you remember your invitation to the Lione estate, along with the archery tournament which will be starting shortly. You can't be in three places at once, so you'll have to make a decision.

Oof, man, talk about choices to make.

I'll choose by rolling for it.

>>41551206
>Head to the Lione estate and see what they want
Nerillian has got this and this seems important.

>>41551206
>Head to the Lione estate and see what they want
>Ask Reinhardt to watch the archery competition in your place and inform the king where you're at.

The whole reason we're here is to garner support for the crusade.
We also told everyone we're going out for snacks and they must be getting worried about us at this point. Should send the bro back so the kind doesn't get even more anxious. Also, isn't the princess still with us?

>>41551332
Princess already went back to tell everyone where you were. Rest of the honor guard came with Roland to make sure everything's alright. They're just sort of hanging around for now.

>>41551206
>Head to the Lione estate and see what they want. Have Erika escort us, and congratulate her on beating Justine

>>41551206
>>Head to the Lione estate and see what they want
Give Nerillian a brofist and wish him luck, then ask Roland where his house is so we can meet up with him later.

Alright, to the Lione estate then. Real quick though, do you guys want to bring anyone else with you, like >>41551413 suggests, or go alone?

>>41551206
>Head to the Lione estate and see what they want

>>41551564
Erika and Reinhardt.

>>41551564
I'm alright with the suggestion, might as well use it if we've got it.

>>41551625
>>41551564
Sure. Unless they have qualms for not seeing the tournament/(not being next to Catherine.)

>>41551564
>Open Recruitment, if no one volunteers choose Erica and Joan since that's probably the best "Oh shit, we're being ambushed" people.

>>41551206
You know what fuck lione we don't have to sacrifice our bros for some pompous asses, if they cool then they can deal with it.
>stay for archery competition

>>41552339
Really?
Bros that you believe can fuck up the competition before Crusade support doesn't really work.

>>41552395
Don't need support if the support thinks bros ain't shit

>>41552481
what are you talking about? The whole point is that without their say most of our support won't even exist.

>>41552516
that's a shame then

>>41552339
Niggu what, we have to make a good impression man, especially if we have to convince them of letting us ally with Levi

>>41552577

>>41552339

>>41552673

>>41552663
No jokes and lighthearted banter, only trolling and shitposting. Stop being bitter anon-kun

>>41552737
What bros are being sacrificed for what pompous asses? It's a crusade, and so far many of the nobles we've met are also going to be fighting.

>>41551206
Well, you are here to earn their approval, so it's probably best to go to the Lione estate and see what they want.

"Alright then. Well, good luck Roland, hope everything works out."

"I hope so too. Thanks Siegfried, I'll be back as soon as I'm able." He tells you, before returning to his brother and the guards, and leaving towards the city gates.

With that settled, you find the rest of your honor guard talking to Nerillian. The archery competition should be starting soon, so they're all wishing him luck.

"Hey guys, I've got news." You tell them, grabbing everyone's attention. "Roland had to go home to deal with his brother, and I just got a message from house Lione saying they want me to come to their estate right now. Erika, Reinhardt, would you mind going with me?"

"Right now? But the archery competition is about to begin." Erika complains.

"It's fine." Nerillian stops her. "The whole reason we're here is because of House Lione, so it's best not to ignore them."

"Thanks for understanding. Good luck in the tournament."

"Luck's not needed, though I appreciate the sentiment."

A horn blows, announcing the start of the archery competition, so you part ways. Reinhardt, Erika, and you head for the Lione estate in the noble district, while everyone else heads back into the arena.

--------
A while later, the three of you arrive at the gate of the Lione estate. A servant standing watch at the gate lets you in once you tell him your name, and you are shown in. While not as fancy as the king's palace by any means, the Lione estate is definitely impressive in it's own right. Portraits of old family members adorn the walls, along with several decorative weapons and awards. Plaques, trophies, medals, all sorts of awards can be seen, all won from tournaments. Not all of them seem to be Geoffrey or Celia's though, some appear to be from old family members. At one point you actually see one from a hundred years back. Clearly, Geoffrey and Celia weren't the only ones of their house to participate in tournaments.

Eventually, you arrive in what appears to be a living room of sorts. Geoffrey and Celia are waiting for you there. Geoffrey is the first to stand and greet you when you arrive, offering a hand for a handshake.

"Greetings Champion, I'm glad you could make it. I apologize for the suddenness of this meeting, but unfortunately our schedules wouldn't allow us to meet before the tournament resumes otherwise."

"It's fine." You tell him while shaking his hand.

"Well in any case, I'm glad you came. I imagine you and your companions have been busy with the tournament, I don't suppose you've had time to eat yet, have you?"

"Why, are you offering?" Erika answers before you can respond.

"I am indeed. Celia, could you show our guests to the kitchen while I have a word with Siegfried?"

Celia nods, and asks the others to follow her, leaving you and Geoffrey alone.

"Have a seat." Geoffrey offers, taking one himself. You oblige, pulling up a chair across from him at a small table.

"So what is it you wanted to see me about?" You ask.

"Nothing too major, I just thought we haven't really had a chance to speak with you at all outside of our introduction when you first arrived at Tarrin. It's important that a Champion be strong in battle, but I need to know more than how good you are with a blade before I can give the king my opinion."

"I guess that's true."

"Yes. Speaking of battle, I saw your performance in the melee preliminaries today. I'll admit, I'm impressed. Mr. Pierre may be a bit eccentric, but I've fought him before in other tournaments, and I know he's no pushover. Tell me, where did you learn to fight as you do? Have you had any formal instruction before you came to the tower?"

Geoffrey raises an eyebrow. "Training with the swordsmaiden herself, you say? I was not aware that was possible."

"It is. Usually when I stop to meditate, it's so I can train with her."

"I see, interesting. And speaking of guardmen, I've been curious to ask. Your father was a blacksmith, was he not? Why become a guardsman instead of inheriting the family trade? Was there a particular reason?"

>>41553282
You shake your head. "Not really, I just didn't want to be a smith my whole life. Becoming a guard was mostly just a way out of it."

"I see. Well, I suppose that's as good a reason as any. Of course, it's because you became a guard that you came across Galadriel in the first place from what I've heard."

"What exactly did you hear?"

"A lot of things. Once people found out about you, rumors started running wild. The true story, as I've gathered at least, was that you were on duty during the Festival of Creation when Andras appeared. Is that correct?"

You nod. "Yeah, Reinhardt and I were standing guard at the arena entrance when Andras showed up."

"Indeed? Sounds like you just happened to be in the right place at the right time then. Or the wrong place at the wrong time, depending on who you ask. As I've heard, you were one of the latter for a time, were you not?"

>>41553961
You wince. He's not wrong, for a really long time you wished you hadn't been there when you were, so you would have never picked up Galadriel in the first place. Of course, you doubt that's something he'd like to hear. You'd be lying if you said otherwise though.

"To be honest, yeah."

"I see. And when did that change, exactly? Or did it change at all?"

>"Right after I saw the farm in Alastor's domain. I'd heard that demons kidnapped people and took them back to the Forsaken Lands before, but that was all stuff happening far away from me. I think seeing it in person changed my opinion about the Crusades."
>"When demons invaded Morsland. We managed to save a lot of people there, but a lot of people still died in the fighting. Seeing my home town get attacked like that changed everything."
>"When Alastor found out I was the Champion. After he took an interest in me, I knew I wouldn't be safe even if I did find someone else to be Champion, so I just sort of accepted it."

>>41554270
Bout what?

>>41554316
How glurge-y that last bit was.

I wanted to do something that basically said Siegfried sees Galadriel as a good friend, but I just hate how it came out.

Basically, we're a guardsman, protecting the people we care about is what we do, it's who we are, and Galadriel is our friend, and one night she asked us to be the permanent champion, and we'll never turn our back on a friend who needs our help.

>>41554614
I'll back this sentiment, it's pretty much the reason I voted to go 'yeah ok' to being the permanent champion.

>"Well at first, I disliked the idea of being champion. No, scratch that, I loathed it. And honestly, if you aren't one who likes glory and fame, it's really not the best job to have. The pay is low, you have to pretend to be a politician, you are expected to fight literally the most dangerous threats humanity has ever had to face, the risk of assassination and being killed in battle is so astronomical there are maybe three people who didn't meet violent ends...but you know, I became a guard because I wanted to help people in a more hands-on kinda way. Really, being Champion isn't that different from my old job...and after seeing how many more people I can help this way, by being Champion, I'd say a bit of extra risk is definitely worth it. Besides, I've made friends. Reinhardt, he was a guard as well. Erika was Galadriel's bearer when I first saw her. All the others, my Honor Guard, they're not just skilled fighters. They're people I trust and care about. And you know what? I still don't like the job, not really. It still sounds like a terrible job to have...but I wouldn't want to be anything else."

"Right after I saw the farm in Alastor's domain. I'd heard that demons kidnapped people and took them back to the Forsaken Lands before, but that was all stuff happening far away from me. I think seeing it in person changed my opinion about the Crusades."

"I see, so seeing the farm was what made you decide to accept becoming Champion?"

"Among other things, yeah."

"Such as?"

You think for a moment. "A lot of things." You finally respond. "First of all, I've learned a lot about Galadriel since I picked up her sword. We didn't see eye to eye at first, but I'd say she's a friend of mine now. I remember after the Battle of Morsland she was conflicted on whether to make me her permanent Champion or not because she knew how much I hated the job. Even now I have some reservations. The battle changed a lot of things for me though. Demons weren't just a thing that people on the border had to deal with, they were a danger to me, my family, and my friends as well. When Galadriel finally asked me if I would be her permanent Champion or not, I told her I would, because as much as I hate the idea of having a huge position like that thrust on me, if it lets me protect my friends then I'll grin and bear it."

Geoffrey listens politely to your explanation, taking mental notes and forming his own opinions about you. "Then you became Champion because you feel it's your duty, both to your friends and to people like those you rescued from the farm?" He asks once you've finished.

"Sort of, yeah. It's hard to explain, you know?"

"No, I understand. I will say though, the thought of someone conversing with the Swordmaiden the way one would converse with a friend is a peculiar one to me. But then again, maybe that's part of why she chose you."

>>41555441
"Anything else you want to ask me about?" You ask.

"No, I think I'm starting to understand a bit more about you now. Besides, Celia and the others should be here soo-speak of the demon, here they are now."

The others return with food and drink, and lay them at the table you and Geoffrey are sitting at before pulling up their own chairs.

"Did we miss anything?" Celia asks her brother as she takes a seat.

"No, not at all. We just had a chat while you were gone, nothing major. In any case, thank you for coming. Help yourselves, I'll call a servant over if anyone desires seconds."

Sorry about that, just took a moment to try and right in what people wanted to say while keeping it coherent and not cheesy. I think it still might have been a bit cheesy though.

On that note, I'm going to go grab a sandwich real quick. Be back in a bit.

Ask about the other matches and how Erika did on her last match. Talk to Celia about how her's went as well.

>>41555495
It's good writing, I think it touched on what most everyone wanted to convey. Maybe a little cheesy, but sometimes a little cheese with a good meal makes it better.

As for the how long you were away, we kept ourselves entertained, it might have been nice to know when you started writing, but no biggie.

Alright, back and writing now.

>>41555672
>As for the how long you were away, we kept ourselves entertained
I noticed. I'm glad too, always feel like I'm boring everybody when it takes a while for me to update and everyone just sort of disappears.

After we eat, maybe we could try our arm at arm wrestling. Challenge Geoffrey, stating we heard a rumor that their family is stronger than average, and since we recently gained some holy strength, we want to test it out.

>>41555899
Let's not, kay?

At the very least, go to a crummy tavern to do it.

>>41555899
Dude we are about to get it first hand at the tournament tomorrow with Ceila.

>>41555932
But against anyone not a Lione it would be cheating to use our full strength.

>>41555932
>>41555962
Fine, no arm wrestling tonight, but after the tournament, if we go drinking with Celia or Geoffrey, them we'll arm wrestle.

>>41555964
Still don't feel like arm wrestling a noble, even a super strong one.

It doesn't make any sense to just ask the rich noble whose house we just had dinner at if he wants to arm wrestle without alcohol being involved.

>>41555464
................Well shit.
WHAT HAVE I DONE.
And before you ask,I do not draw lewds.
Take it as a line I don't cross in general.

No problem. I prefer cute and funny anyways.

>>41556047
>I do not draw lewds
That's fine, anon. I'm sure we can find someone else willing to lewd the swordfu.

>>41556043
Even then, it still feels kind of dumb.

"Hey, we come from separate social strata, and you had me come over to your house yesterday for a chat and a nice meal. You want to arm wrestle to see who's stronger?"

>>41556076
If it's any consolidation I'm not above a bit of lewdness for shit and giggles,though anything nsfw would be crossing the line.

>>41556047
I wasnt going to ask man, haha

Nah its just really sweet stuff that does it for me. I;ve never whacked it to something on 4chan and I dont plan on starting now

>>41556119
Perfect your lewdness and anons will make you a rich man

>>41556047
Perfectly cool with me. I personally like the idea of getting close as possible with Galadriel, but the idea of actually trying to waifu the Seraph like some kind of VN character for lewds annoys me anyway.

The food is good, a lot fancier than what you've had at the Red and White Watchtowers, but still good. While everyone is eating, you start up a conversation.

"So Geoffrey, I've been meaning to ask. How come your sister is participating in the tournament but you're not?"

"I simply don't participate as often as I once did is all. Celia still enjoys them, but after a while I just decided there were other things I'd rather be doing than participating in tourneys."

"And it's a shame you did. You were one of the best." Celia comments.

"I don't think so. Were it not for our family's blessing, I'd be no better than anyone else out there."

"Blessing?" Reinhardt asks.

"Our strength. Our forefather's time as Champion granted him great strength, and some of that strength has been passed down our family ever since."

"Roland mentioned that while we were at the Red Watchtower. Said house Lione was stronger than the average man because of Asher."

"Your friend Roland was correct. Our ancestor, Asher, is still known to this day as one of the mightiest Champions. We are fortunate to trace our lineage back to him."

"Galadriel's always spoken highly of Asher. Said he was the closest she's met to finding the perfect Champion."

"I was not aware that Galadriel felt that way about our ancestor, I am pleased to hear that."

"What's it like, growing up with that kind of reputation on your shoulders? Can't be easy."

"...It is an honor, and I am proud to carry his name. Though I will admit it would be pleasant to go for a walk without people recognizing me and treating me differently."

"Brother, I don't think-"

"Come now Celia, don't tell me you've never thought the same from time to time. What about you, Siegfried? I imagine being Champion has it's own problems."

>>41556608
"...Uh...You could say that, yeah."

"Sounds like you've already run into some issues."

You recall Avaline, and some of the times you were unfortunate enough to run into her in the tower halls. She's calmed down significantly since Joan said...whatever she said, but she still kind of creeps you out.

"I have, yeah." You tell him, not going further into detail. "Anyways though, I wasn't able to see either of you in the tournament today. How did your matches go?" You ask Erika and Celia, trying to change the subject.

Erika grins. "Well for starters, let me tell you about my match with Justine..."

--------
Some time has passed, and now the three of you are about to leave. The others are already waiting at the gates, while you wait at the door for Geoffrey, who said he had something for you before you left.

"Sorry for making you wait." Geoffrey apologizes, arriving at the door with a thick stack of envelopes.

"What is that?" You ask.

"Letters, from some people you might know. After word of a new Champion named Siegfried Schmidt got out, I started pulling some strings, trying to learn more about you before you arrived. Turns out I didn't need to look far, because after a while I started getting letter like these from people in Iseria."

"You did? Who sent them?"

"A couple of those are from people in Morsland who saw you during the Battle of Morsland and felt it was their duty to speak on your behalf. The majority, however, come from people who claim to be the survivors of the farm you liberated in the Forsaken Lands."

You blink. These are from the farm's survivors? You're at a loss for words, there's probably at least a hundred letters in this stack, maybe more.

"You may keep them and read what they say if you wish."

>>41556600
testing

>>41556626
Curious, you open the first letter at the top of the stack and read what it says. The handwriting is a bit sloppy, but not so much that you can't understand it. The letter tells a story about how the writer was kidnapped from his village in the middle of the night and forced to fight a terrifying hybrid in a bloody arena. The writer says he would have been killed, had you not distracted the hybrid long enough for him to kill it. It dawns on you at some point while you're reading that this was written by that kid you saw on your first day at the farm. You remember the hybrid was about to kill him when you called out and distracted it, giving the kid enough time to kill it.

"They all speak highly of you, but I wasn't sure if you could live up to their praise. I admit, I still can't say I know enough about you to say for sure, but I feel I understand enough about you that I can at least be assured of your character."

"Does that mean I have house Lione's approval?"

"It means you have my approval. If you want the house's approval, you'll have to prove yourself to Celia tomorrow in the melee. I'll be wishing you luck though, if not because I approve of you then because I feel it would be good for Celia to lose for once."

You thank him, and return to your friends at the gate, stashing the stack of letters in your backpack for now. It's getting late now, Roland might be back from his family's estate by now. Nerillian and the others are probably at the palace right now, waiting for you three to return.

>>41556778
Ah, then I'll change it to

Alright, looks like timeskip wins. Writing.

>>41556660
---------
The second day of the tournament is here, and now you're in the arena's equipment room, choosing your gear again. After returning to the palace yesterday, you learned that Nerillian won the archery competition as expected. When asked about it, he said "There were some interesting contestants there, but I won by about 20 points. Perhaps I'll compete again if the opportunity ever presents itself."

Roland, however, still hadn't returned when you got back to the palace. Even this morning he was nowhere to be seen. If he doesn't get back soon, he'll forfeit by default. Hopefully he's on his way right now.

The tournament melee will begin shortly. You look over the various weapons and suits of armor available to you and make a decision.

>>41556956
You grab a halberd and a sword sidearm, then grab a chainshirt and get suited up. It's light, heavier than wearing no armor but much lighter than the full suit of chainmail you wore yesterday. Of course, by that same token you're not as well protected. Still, this will keep you light on your feet while still providing a small amount of protection.

The staff member knocks on the door and informs you that you have five minutes. Now fully equipped, you open the door and follow them outside to the arena.

16 people are waiting in the arena, standing spaced apart at the edge of the arena circle. The announcers start giving a speech, while you look around at the other competitors. Most of them don't stand out too much, though if they made it through the preliminaries they must be somewhat talented at least. You see Erika, standing about 20 feet to your right, wearing a suit of plate armor and carrying a greatsword. On the opposite end of the arena is Celia, also wearing plate armor but carrying a sword and shield.

"...Now, without further adieu, let the final round of the tournament melee begin!"

>Course of action?

>>41557125
>"Hey Erika, team till the end?"
If yes, protect her flanks while she carves out a path. If no, take her down first. She knows how you fight, and you do NOT want to get caught between her and Cellia.

>>41557125
Straight jab at the first guy to come to us, followed by a jab to the foot, finished with a swift kick to the sternum to push him over.

>>41557125

>>41557164
>Our we allowed to use our strenfth stat boost?
If you mean Righteous Strength then no, and you wouldn't be able to because you're not carrying Galadriel right now. If you mean the passive boost you got while you were practicing, that's always on just controlled, and they can't exactly tell you you're not allowed to use it when the Lione family has been for generations.

1. Straight jab
2. Jab to the foot
3. Kick
4. See if Erika wants to team up

I need three rolls of 3d10 please.

Also, didn't mention this before, but the actual melee works a little differently than the preliminaries. By which I mean enemies are defeated by knocking them out rather than the loser yielding. Now you know why the weapons are enchanted to be less lethal and there's healers on standby.

The closest guy to your right immediately turns to you and attacks.You jab at him with your halberd, but he nimbly dodges to the side and lands a weak blow against your leg before you can get away

>38/40 HP remaining

After getting some distance, you jab him in the foot hard, then follow with a kick while he's wincing, knocking him to the ground. You're about to close in and finish him while he's down, but Erika gives him a swift kick to the head and knocks him out herself.

"That's already one for me, better hurry if you want to keep up." She says with a grin.

"I don't think numbers are the point." You counter. "Anyways, temporary truce?"

She thinks about it for a second. "Sure, why not? Just watch your back once the competition starts to thin."

Meanwhile, Celia is engaged with two opponents who try to rush her at once. She responds by swiftly kicking one of her assailant's feet out from under him, then parrying the other and smacking him in the head with her sword hard enough to knock him unconscious. She does the same to the one on the floor.

Another opponent approaches you, this one wearing plate armor. You get an idea and try to hook him by the armor, but he swats your halberd away violently and hits you in the gut with his mace.

>36/40 HP remaining

With that idea failed, you try another and drop your halberd, grabbing him with your bare hands. The crowd gasps in surprise as you lift this grown man in plate armor over your head with surprising ease, and throw him straight into a group of people in the middle of their own fight. They're all bowled over, and you pick your halberd up and start knocking them out before they can get up. Erika is too stunned to do anything to help, but snaps out of it when another competitor comes to attack her. With that, four more competitors are out of the match.

Celia witnesses this display of strength, and is about to charge in and attack you when three other contestants get in her way. The rest of the competition looks conflicted on whether or not to attack you.

Two more people finally find their courage and approach you. Erika takes one while you take the other. You start by swinging high, hitting him in the head, then do a jumping stab, hitting him in the chest and knocking him to the ground. A quick kick knocks him out.

Erika herself has no trouble dealing with her opponent either, and quickly knocks her out as well. Meanwhile, Celia has already dealt with the three that challenged her, and is looking your way.

Currently, there are five people remaining counting yourself, Erika, and Celia. With most of the competition gone, you decide it's time to deal with Celia.

"Erika, I'm going to go fight Celia. Keep the other two off me while I fight her."

She nods, and goes to deal with the other two remaining contestants. Celia, now having a clear path towards you, raises her shield and charges forward.

You try to hook her shield and spin her around, but she responds by smashing her shield into your face and kicking you away.

>28/40 HP remaining

You wince. Roland wasn't exaggerating when he told you how strong house Lione was. Daniel certainly wasn't lying when he said her style was aggressive either, because immediately after kicking you she charges in and slashes at you, forcing you on the defensive. You manage to block or dodge all of her attacks, but you can't keep this up forever. With that in mind, you hook one of her legs with your own and manage to knock her off her feet.

The bad part is, she takes you with her, grabbing onto your arm once she starts to fall and pulling you down on top of her. She punches you in the gut, then tosses you to the side and tries to get back up.

>25/40 HP remaining

While both of you are on the ground, Erika finishes knocking out one of the two remaining competitors. She is currently too busy fighting the remaining one to help you right now though.

Testing with a roll

Rolled 4, 2, 2 = 8 (3d10)

>>41558344
Let me get that for you

>>41558177
Before she can get up, you launch yourself at her and tackle her. It's sloppy, but she falls down. While she's down, you try to punch her in the face but she grabs you by the wrist. Releasing her grip on her shield, she uses her free hand to push you off of her.

Meanwhile, Erika is still fighting the other remaining contender. While she's busy doing that, Celia starts to crawl towards her sword.

>Plan of action?

>>41558361
Pull her back to us by her legs then try and get up and grab her sword

Check em ^
We accidentaly summoned the dubs gods.

>>41558361
Jump for her sword, rather then keep her down. Then if we get it, fling that sumbitch far away.

If we get a crit, maybe we can knock out the last guy...

1. Pull her back by the legs
2. Grab her sword

I need two rolls of 3d10.

Rolled 9, 5, 3 = 17 (3d10)

Spin her around and throw her on the guy Erika is dealing with.

>>41558450
idk,it's just that I've been getting the "server down" message quite often alongside the captcha being uncooperative

How many other people are having trouble just reading the thread? For 90% of the time this thread has been running I've just been getting that server down message when I refresh.

Rolled 7, 7, 5 = 19 (3d10)

Seriously guys you don't know how to use that super human strenght.

The chick is light to us now.
We can throw her around as long she doesn't have a firm foothoold.

So luchabro keep it up.

>>41558531
good pount

>>41558361
Before she can reach her sword, you grab one of her legs and yank her away, using your newly improved strength. After pulling her back, you then crawl towards her sword and manage to grab it before she can.

Your halberd lies about seven feet in the opposite direction. Currently you have Celia's sword along with your own. Both of you are still on the ground, though now Celia grabs her shield again and starts to get up.

On Erika's end, she finally manages to knock out the other contender. She is, however, on the opposite end of the arena, though with her opponent finished she starts heading your way to help.

>Plan of action?

>>41558546
disarm and trip her

>>41558546
Dual wield swords and RIP and TEAR

Rolled 7, 8, 3 = 18 (3d10)

Throw spare sword at her to distract her.

Get behind her and grab her to lif ther of the ground.

Then throw her down as hard as you can in the direction near Erika.

>>41558546
Tackle Celia again so as to upset her guard

Use the swords

>>41558546
Full on attack, followed by a trip, then go for a KO. As Galadriel said before, she likely has issues with defense.

>>41558583
yes, this

1. Attack with dual swords
2. Grab and throw her in Erika's direction

>Shields ain't actually for pussies

>>41558546
You unsheathe your backup sword and start using both swords to attack her. However, she manages to get up before you can get to her, and deflects your attacks with her shield. Thinking quickly though, you pretend to swing at her again before suddenly dropping your swords and grabbing her, throwing her in Erika's general direction. The crowd cheers, clearly not used to this unconventional method of fighting in the arena.

She lands a few feet away from Erika, who immediately tries to hit her while she's down. Celia manages to roll away though, but now she has no weapon, only a shield. You crouch down and pick up both of your swords, thinking now you might just win this.

>Plan of action?

>>41558696
Who's betting that Celia would pull a Captain Murica

>>41558696
Close the distance, Slash at her face with the left sword, when she blocks stab at her stomach with the right, kick her down and knock her out

Rolled 9, 3, 8 = 20 (3d10)

See luchdors are right.

Circle around her and look for oppenings to attac or distract her.

Try to trip and throw her again.

>>41558703
that should def be how we finish off erika after this

>>41558696
Flank her and keep her away from the halberd. Keep slashing at her to distract her, then kick at her leg and slash at her head.

>>41558696
Switch over to halberd, the reach will help if she DOES go captain america.

Pretend to hook the shield again, but this time hook her leg.

>>41558712
voting this, fuckin solid

She's wearing fucking plate and a kite shield and you want to attack with swords?
I question your intelect.

Luchador for life!

Distract her again and throw her again.

1. Close distance and slash at face with left
2. Stab at stomach with right
3. Kick her down

>>41558696
With Erika now here to back you up, you might just finish this. Charging forward with your two swords, you flank her and slash at her head with the left sword. She is busy trying to block an attack from Erika at the time, so the hit connects, dazing her. Immediately you follow up by jabbing her in the stomach with your right sword, knocking the wind out of her, then kick both her feet out from under her. Both you and Erika strike again at the same time, hitting her in the head and knocking her unconscious.

The crowd gasps. For the first time in her history, Celia Lione has been defeated. You see your honor guard cheering for you in the king's box, while Daniel and Geoffrey simply nod their heads approvingly. The crowd soon joins them, cheering wildly for you and Erika.

Speaking of Erika, you'd almost forgotten about her when she smacks you in the back of the head. "Alright, truce over. Celia might be down, but now it's you and me."

Right, for a moment you almost forgot that this was a free-for-all. Erika falls into a stance with her greatsword, and you do the same with your two swords.

>Plan of attack?

>>41558873
disarm her, then just lay into her with the swords

>>41558873
Try to pull a feint I suppose?
Though in second thoughts she might see it coming

>>41558873
Time for that disarm that Daniel taught us. Have Erika come at us first, while we yield ground, then when she goes for a hard swing try the disarm with our right, and attack from our left.

>>41558873
wait for her to commit to a swing and then dodge and lay into her
or parry her swing and counter with your other sword

>>41558911
perfect

>>41558911

1. Disarm

Guess the dice gods doesn't want us to hurt our bros

Always wait dudes and dudetes.

Try and keep a safe position and bait her into making a mistake.

Then throw swords at her to distract and grapple her lifting her up and this efectivley rendering her helpless.

>>41558873
You remember Daniel teaching you how to disarm, and decide to try it here. You let Erika come to you, then try to parry with on of your swords. Unfortunately, her swing is stronger than you expected, and her greatsword breaks past your guard.

>20/40 HP remaining

Okay, you're gonna have to start practicing with that disarm. Erika may not be as strong as Celia, but she certainly is strong, so that really hurt. You don't think you'll pass out just yet, but a couple more hits like that and you just might.

>Plan of attack?

Luuuuchaaaaa

>>41559014
Flurry of blows, left to her leg, right to her head, left to her head, right to her stomach, then kick her legs out from under her.

>>41559014
defend against her attacks and wait for an opening, then capitalize with a suplex
