Cancelled {Public, Violent} The First Joust of Astrakhan

[Blorbis83]

All across Altera's major cities, people would find that musicians and heralds from Astrakhan gather in the market squares.
Dressed in fine togas and stolae, they would call out to all who would listen as they played their jaunty & imperial tunes on horns and water-organs...

This event will be using blargtheawesome 's rules for Jousting: ​

Rules for the Joust
Riders will roll body+handling. On a tie, the lances get caught on eachother and neither is hit. If one rider gets one dice more than the other, then the rider that lost the roll gets hit but not knocked off. If they lose by two, the lance shatters on them. If they lose by three, they are knocked off their horse. If someone rolls all natural ones on their check, they're injured.

To win a tilt, one rider needs to accumulate three points.
1 point for hitting the other.
2 for either shattering the lance or unhorsing the opposing rider.


Similarly, for the Melee, we will mostly be using Body + Melee and any other necessary stats. Try and keep emotes brief, and please try to avoid any lengthy disputes.
The Horse Archery contest will require Body + Ranged.

There will also be stalls for people to sell stuff in the nearby market in case your character wants to sell snacks, souvenirs, or whatever.

Out of curiosity, what are the rules/ plans for the melee and horse archery?

Melee is to whoever gets knocked down/disarmed totally.
Horse archery is hitting targets, whoever gets the most points wins.
