Baronial Challenge!

[DUEL Psly FTA]

On this night did Cletus Ganderfald press his challenge to Rena Cronin. Cletus had no lady of honor, and if he had colors, they weren't present. Rena chose Max Blue for her second, and Topaz as her lady of honor. One would assume Atreblan colors, but they were not implicated. The defender chose a best of three format.

Here's how it played out.

DUEL Psly FTA (9:09:45 PM): In the ring, Rena demonstrates that while a staff may not injure the same, it most assuredly has a reach advantage over a sword. (th/lc, 1-0 her)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:12:29 PM): In the ring, a discussion on the proper types of footwear for dueling ensues. (fdk/fdk, 1-0 her)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:14:16 PM): In the ring, Cletus decides on a demonstration of fancy footwork to tie the match up at a point apiece! (th/fss, 1 all)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:17:54 PM): In the ring, the baroness spins herself a rather deft defense. . .too bad she blocked her knees and he aimed a touch higher than that. . .(fcp/hc, 2-1 Cletus)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:21:50 PM): In the ring, Cletus takes a step back and reverses his swing, unfortunately for the side-stepping Rena! (ss/lc 3-1 Cletus)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:25:46 PM): In the ring, a deft positional maneuver handily defeats the odd choice for a defense. (fcp/fdk, 4-1 Cletus)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:28:20 PM): In the ring, our contestants decide that a breather is in order. For this first match, is over. (lc/th, 5-1 Cletus)

DUEL Psly FTA (9:36:22 PM): In the ring, they waste no time, the challenger taking a piece of leg, while the baroness wings him. (hc/lc, 1 all)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:39:34 PM): In the ring, Cletus attempts some panache, and while he gains an audience, he garnishes no points. (sh/fcp, 1 all)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:41:54 PM): In the ring, Cletus takes his panache up a level, performing some deft riverdancing to the side, only to fall flat, like this joke. (fss/lc, 2-1 her)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:44:58 PM): In the ring, the Baroness displays her vast skills at billiards. (th/fdk, 3-1 her)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:48:30 PM): In the ring, both contestants rush forward, intent on causing the other bodily injury. However, neither one seems to succeed. (lc/lc, 3-1 Rena)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:51:36 PM): In the ring, fleetness of foot fries fury of finesse. (fss/flp, 4-1 Rena)
DUEL Psly FTA (9:54:20 PM): In the ring, the Baroness completes her recovery and return, with interest, of the past match. (lc/sh, 5-1 Rena)

DUEL Psly FTA (9:54:49 PM): ::literally. both matches,7 rounds, 5-1 score::

DUEL Psly FTA (10:01:17 PM): In the ring, they certainly are prepared to finish this, again rushing at each other with the intention of harm, this time succeeding! (lc/hc, 1 all)
DUEL Psly FTA (10:04:45 PM): In the ring, panache seems to be the name of the game tonight. It's a shame it's not the scoring type of game. (fss/fdu, 1 all)
DUEL Psly FTA (10:07:44 PM): In the ring, both reverse to take the score further! (hc/lc, 2 all)
DUEL Psly FTA (10:10:18 PM): In the ring, bruised shoulders and ankles don't forstall a classic example of a lovely tango. (fss/fss, 2 all)
DUEL Psly FTA (10:12:39 PM): In the ring, Cletus finally wrangles a lead, trapping the thrust with a will! (th/sh, 3-2 Cletus)
DUEL Psly FTA (10:17:39 PM): In the ring, G'nort must've left some of those hallucinogenic substances floating around, for that sure looked like a defense destroyer to me. (flp/sl, 4-2 Cletus)
DUEL Psly FTA (10:20:18 PM): In the ring, Rena does not return the favor, falling victim to Cletus' winning defensive trap. (lc/fcp, 5-2 Cletus)

And thus, Cletus gains the Barony, 5-1, 1-5, and 5-2. His alignment is renegade. Congragulations Baron, and well fought, Miss Cronin.

[Rena A Cronin]

Actually Topaz and Max were both seconds.

Congrats, Cletus.
