... ooc: Of course you're right! I'd forgotten that - the passion roll does clearly only count for one skill. In light of that Greg, I'll stick to Gwair's...
Crying defiance Gwair spurs upon the charging lancers. He evades the cold steel of the first lance point, then delivers such a heavy blow on the man's shield...
... ooc: Having too much fun here, can't stop - the latter for sure! bic: Surviving thus far unscathed, Gwair is sure that his God is smiling upon his efforts....
... A savage growl escapes Donngal's mouth as he sees his foe's blade stab deeply into his faithful mount. He swings fiercely to pay him retribution! OOC:...
The apparent leader sees Gwair coming, and after a moment's hesitation, throws his lance to the ground and draws his sword. Waving it above his head he calls...

Not much Morien can do. To offer to fight Brugyn himself in Bege's stead would be an insult to his lord's prowess and honor. Nor does Morien have spears and...
... ooc: 6 of them against a wounded Gwair and a squire... difficult choice ;-) Maybe more stalling is in order! To help me answer, how wounded is Gwair, is he...
