The Squires' Tournament - The Joust

After setting up camp, the band of friends split up as those of some House renown go pay their respects to the higher Houses, such as House Dayne. When courtesies and plaisantries are exchanged each return to the tent. They meet up with Eddard, affiliated to the House of Longheart, whose patron is arriving later. After a little excursion into the village foraging for wine, all return to their bedrolls.

The next day the Jousting for Squires start. Eddard is quickly eliminated and luck quickly runs out for Perros as well. He's mortally wounded when a lance pierces through his light armour. Hopefully he can recover enough for the mêlée, if he would choose to participate.

Arys shows that bravery is close to stupidity as he continues his round of competition standing on the ground, instead of being mounted. As a token of his respect, his competitor petitions to the presiding lord that both contestants are allowed to continue the ladder competition.
