Matera Tourney Grounds
Training grounds for the tourney.
Sep 23, 1865

Gabriel paces back and forth along the practice field, the four al'Callenta men-at-arms standing before him, all decked out in full maile with green surcoats. He himself is also in full maile, and is wearing a blue surcoat. So fitting, blue versus green. He grins to himself for a moment and then continues his pacing. Hrm, the three people that responded to his summons were late, and out of those three, one wasn't coming at all. A part of him was glad he had no actual position, that he was simply a knight. It was times like these in which he felt the desire not to have responsibilities.

The four men-at-arms all pick up practice swords and begin to slap at each other with them, loosening up. The part of the field that they have set aside for this is smaller than a normal melee field, but large enough to handle a nice 4 on 4 fight.

The Tarris have been here in Matera for only a few hours but already Bethany's at it, the young knight wanting to limber up as she is sore from their travels, her arm especially aching. Her aunt would undoubtedly be displeased by how her niece is planning on taking part in the tourney while her wounds are still a bit of a hinderance. Her brother's here with her, the pair dressed in maile and helm and with the blunted practice swords, the younger of the two siblings getting a talking to from his sister.

"Now just do your best, alright," comes the instructions with a vaguely echoy quality to her voice due to her helm. "No holding back. You hold back and I am going to put you on your ass and make you regret i…" Turning her head, Bethany's attention shift and she watches those who are already praciticing, her head soon angling just to the left.

So it had taken Sebryna more time to get from the inn, changed and geared up and to the field than she had thought, but she does arrive, suited and booted and prepared to get some practice in. She took practice anytime she could get it! Training, training, training. With her blade at her side, she strides towards the al'Callenta knight who had offered to assist in the session she had signed up for. When she is before him, she offers a polite bow, helm beneath an arm. "I offer my apologies for my cousin, I believe he is at the Inn attempting to charm a princess."

The bastard-born son of the Betrayer nods to his sister. "I never hold back," he replies, "It would be unseemingly…" he trails off as well, looking to the Aequorians. "It seems they are looking to practice as well," he says with a grin. His helm is off still, and the dark-blonde headed squire's grin is broad and cheery. "Isn't that the knight with the lute?"

Gabriel glances over to watch the two Ashedown's do their bit of sparring, only to have his thoughts interrupted by Sebryna. Turning to face her, he offers her a slight frown. "Attempting to charm a princess…? The damn fool, why doesn't he bring her here to watch his skill at arms, that might help him woo her more than pretty words can." He then grins. "It is good to see you already geared up and ready to go, here…" He steps over to a bench and picks up a blue surcoat and tosses it over to her. "Put that on, you are going to need it. Now, you remember what we talked about right?" He refers to the Us vs Them mentality that has been developing in several of them since Four Corners.

Again, he turns to view the Ashedowns. "How about we make this a bit more interesting?" He asks Sebryna casually. Raising his voice he shouts, "How would you two like to engage in a bit of training beyond what you are currently doing?"

Gabe's offer has Bethany smirking behind the visor. "That would be nice," she says sincerely, her hand moving to grab Corwin by the arm so she can tug him over with her as she goes to join the Aequorian. "What do you have in mind," she asks curiously, her head pivoting slightly to regard Sebryna now. She's given a bobbed nod of greeting and a smile although the latter guesture's concealed. "Good day."

Corwin is allowed to get ready as he may need to but Beth's all set and she merely stands there, waiting to hear Gabriel's explanation as far as what he is thinking.

"Yes, I believe he was asking for her favor as I was dashing out." Sebryna confesses with a tongue-in-cheek manner, holding her sword in hand. Though she does place it down for a moment to tug on the surcoat. "I am sure if he had thought about that he would, but my cousin is more of a one track mind when it comes to such things." Lifting her sword again, she turns and faces him. "And have you gotten a favor yet?" A single brow lifts and in fact, Sebryna is wearing one, an intricate little thing that looks much like a belt, though a ribbon with a clasp, connected to one part of her armor. Galenthian colors. Traitorous of her yes? "I remember what we spoke of." Then the doubt reaches her eyes and she shakes her head a little. "But I trusted you before," finishing in a rather flat tone. Turning to face the others, she offers a nod in return. "Good day to you as well."

Corwin stands beside his sister, inclining his head politely to both Aequorian knights, but waiting for Sir Gabriel to explain his thoughts.

Gabriel nods to Sebryna, "Well, maybe he can get his favor and then find his way over here. As to me? Eh, what do I need a favor for? I went into the last tournament without anyone's favor and I did fine. If anything, I could have asked my sister for hers, but I prefer to fight for my House and bring what honor I can back to it." He reaches out and clasps her on the shoulder for a moment before turning to view Corwin and Bethany.

"We were going to set up something of a mock melee, team on team, but it seems the two others who were going to join us are having trouble understanding what the word 'punctual' means." He bends over to the table and picks up two blue surcoats and tosses them at two of the men-at-arms who then put them on after removing their green surcoats, which he in turns hands to Bethany and Corwin. "Blues versus Greens, a simple exercise to test coordinating with fellows and getting in good combat practice. Interested?"

Gabriel then notices another approaching, and with a grin, he waves him over. "Here you go." He tosses him a blue surcoat, and glancing over to Sebryna he grins. "Looks like we might replace your cousin with one of mine. Maybe when he gets knocked out early in the melee we can endlessly tease him." He winks. "Alright, everyone, this is my cousin Sebastian. Sebastian, this is Sir Sebryna D'Lario, Sir Bethany Ashedown, and her brother Corwin Ashedown." He says the last name hesitantly as he realizes he doesn't recall if Corwin is a knight or not.

"Just Squire… for now," Corwin supplies readily to Gabriel, taking the green surcoat with a grin. "And I think this idea sounds like fun, don't you, sis?" He pauses. "Er, Sir Bethany."

A glance is given to Corwin but Bethany doesn't wait for him to answer. What she does do is nod. "I think it can safely be said that we are interested, yes." Looking between all present, Bethany reaches up to rub her arm, the muscle and flesh still forming scar tissue which threatens to pull and hurt if not massaged. "How about a wager?"

When yet another approaches she bows her head. "Pleasure meeting you." She hefts the sword and steps back a few, swinging it to see how it feels in her hands. Been a few days since she last picked up a weapon but thankfully it hasn't been so long that it feels alien.

Sebastian catches the surcoat before it envelops him completely. The squire was already in al'Callenta colors, a surcoat slashed with silver and blue, but he crawls into the one tossed at him to match the rest of the team. He flashes a quick grin to Gabriel and follows the line of introductions, nodding to the familiar Sebryna, before the unfamiliar, the two Ashedown's. "Good afternoon, likewise," he offers with temperance to keep from spilling into an extended courtesy.

Gabriel glances around seeing that everyone is getting ready. "A wager?" He asks Bethany. "Alright, fine. If we win, you get to buy everyone here a round of ale at the local. If you win, I will buy everyone here a round and then for good measure, I will pay for the meal as well. How does that sound?" He smirks at her.

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Edwyn coming along and he grins. "Cousin, here." He tosses the man a blue surcoat. "Put that on and join us, we are about to get started, so get ready." He gives the man a few moments to don the surcoat and get ready and then he raises his sword. "Alright, let's begin."

"Sounds fair to me," Beth is quick to agree. The other group is given a knightly salute via lifting her sword to helm-level and then, once the go is given, she attacks.

Edwyn steps onto the field. "I'm not too late then? Thats good." He quickly dons the surcoat and draws the broadsword he carries with him. He readies himself for the fight to begin his gaze scanning the area calmly.

Corwin nods, sliding on his helm and slashing at the other squire quickly.

A wager was something certainly worth fighting for and Sebryna wears a cocky, half grin. She is certainly not lacking in confidence. "Good luck to all and may the best side win." Inclining her head, she prepares for the melee type spar, taking a defensive stance.

Sebastian grows cautious as the Ashedown pair come toward him. He brings his sword up to parry, used to having a second blade his empty hand comes up as a shield on instinct.

Corwin circles around the squire, glancing to his sister with a nod—pair up, team up, take down one foe at a time. He darts in, quickly now, slashing low and hoping Beth slashes high.

Gabriel slams down the visor on his helmet and steps forward, launching an attack on the man-at-arms he has chosen to be his initial target. A quick side step, and he dodges the attack from the other man-at-arms, but his swing is off, and he misses his opponent completely.

There's a hit but the armor protects Bethany's target, that causing her to sigh a bit. She's then hit by the other lady knight, causing her to spin and go on the attack. "Corwyn… cover me if you can…"

Sebastian is forced on the defense, sweeping aside from Corwin's attack but feeling the rattle of Bethany's blade against his chest. His eyes flash to follow the movements of Bethany, only to switch back toward Corwin. His inexperience is clear. This al'Callenta hasn't been in pitched battle before and it almost appears he doesn't know which way to go. For now he stays on Corwin.

Edwyn lowers his visor and charges into the fight moving to strike the man trying to attack Gabriel from behind. He strikes the man on the arm but the armor the other wears blocks any damage. He also takes a light hit from another of the men at arms while he is distracted with his cuurent opponet.

Having seen the Tarris knight in tournaments before, Sebryna had never crossed blades with her. What better way to capture her attention than to take a swing at her? And so she does, looking pleased when she has indeed gained the attention of the other woman. She inclines her head slightly, another greeting, respect. "Shall we dance, my lady?" Though there is not a reply necessary or waited upon, for she lifts her blade and commences to doing so.

Yet again, Gabriel is forced to dodge from an attack from the man-at-arms, and it throws off his swing just enough so that his hit glances off the other man's armor. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Edwyn take a rather harsh hit and he frowns. "Cousin, let us switch." Might make more sense to go one-on-one with the target attacking them rather than dancing around one another.

Corwin takes a blow, but his sister takes her second. Whirling, the young squire steps quickly and throws himself into the melee with his sister's opponent, wordlessly and, despite his own hit, calmly.

With only one opponent to worry about, Sebastian keeps focus on the Galenthian squire. Bastian does slips around Corwin's guard and manages to score a tap against the other's leg. He hears the call of Sir Ashdown and notes the two pronged attack now surging toward Sebryna. He will chase after Corwin, in attempts to interrupt the other young man's assault on Sebryna.

"Very well Cousin." Edwyn nods to Gabriel and then he switches targets moving to attack the man that hit him and letting Gabriel have the one he was attacking formerly. Edwyn's brow furrows behind his helmet and he changes to a more cuatious stance trying to avoid getting hit again.

"Yes," drawls a voice that is not exactly impressed, Bethany then sighing. "I suppose we should." Beth missed as she's hit again, it getting her to grunt, but she's still doing alright. One more swing and she adds, "You shouldn't be so cocky though. As my brother… it'll do nothing but earn you the scorn and ridicule of others."

When it turns to a more two on one attack on her, Sebryna does not alter her own target, allowing the squire to batter on her armor if he will, but her main focus is on that of the Tarris. This was who Gabriel had favored in the previous tournament. Had even assisted to win. Bryna has determination in her movements as she takes a step into the slash she delivers, moving in time to dodge the counter and going for another slash immediately after, hoping to catch her unaware. She does take on a more defensive stance with the two attacking, though her main focus remains on Bethany.

The Ashedown siblings both miss their target, but that doesn't seem to matter much. The two glance at each other through their helms, nod once, and turn on a heel as one… towards Sebastion, who had been behind Corwin. And they both bring their swords down on him, as if trained together for such an act.

A swing and a miss! Sebastian nudges his visor up to readjust his stance, losing visual of the two while he does temporarily fix the problem. As he lowers his chin to look through the visor yet again, Bethany is coming at him. And Corwin! He attempts to draw up his blade simply to parry them back.

Gabriel grunts as he and the man-at-arms dodge one another's attacks. Not quite what he was hoping for. Scowling, he takes a step back, and then steps forward again after shifting his stance to one that is far more offensive.

Edwyn takes another light hit to his abdomen but the one he delivers to his opponet's chest in return is a good form of payback. He keeps his stance cautious striking when he finds an opening but still trying to avoid getting hit further.

Enough 'dancing'. Bethany shakes her head at herself and turns, her brother prompted into doing the same. Ah…. yes. Sebsatian. Looks like he's going to have two bearing down upon him now.

When the two swing, Sebryna is able to manage to make the hit while avoiding the other two and she steps back in time to watch them both alter their target to another. With a shrug, she turns to the squire to try and give him one hit before she refocuses on another.

Sebastian goes down, but the Ashedowns don't stop moving. "Lead," Corwin says, his tone a suggestion. Bethany nods, and whirls, driving herself towards an unexpected target— Gabriel. Her sword comes up as Corwin's follows in a downstroke.

It had been her intention to make a hit on the squire, but nothing was ever certain. With Bethany already taking some hits, Sebryna easily switches back to her, determined to get her attention once more, though instead of being more aggressive, she takes a little swipe so that she can get into a defensive position more quickly.

Sliding his feet one way has Sebastian evading Corwin but places Sebastian in a vulnerable position to Bethany's blade. It knocks the socks off the squire! He doesn't remember much but the valid force of her blade sends him reeling into the dust. The al'Callenta squire puts a hand up to his neck as he catches his breath. A scramble shuffle backwards gets him out of the way, where he will effectively shove off his helm and rub where her sword marked him.

Gabriel finally manages to land a hit, although it's no where near what he was hoping for. Stepping back, he spots Bethany landing a solid hit on Sebastian. "Cousin, go get some water and then watch everything that happens. This is a good learning experience." Spotting Bethany and Corwin coming for him out of the corner of his eye, Gabriel grunts and then adjusts his stance to something more defensive, now that three people are attacking him.

Edwyn glances to Sebastian briefly after he lands another hit on his opponet. He sees the two siblings going after Gabriel and he shifts his stance wanting to finish his curret foe off and help his cousin if he can.

"My apoligies, Sir Gabriel…" Bethany sees the attack from Sebryna out of the corner of her eye and deftly steps out of the way, it putting her at a more adventageous position to attack the al'Callenta. Corwin should know to stay on him as well as she's not giving any cues to move to another person. She hits him as does her brother, perhaps nothing more than glancing blows but at least they struck true.

Sebastian finds the water barrel and takes the ladel to drink a scoop from it. After the mouthful of water he stoops over and puts his hands to his knees, eyes keen on the way that the Ashedown siblings fight together.

One. Two. Three. The three blows come raining down upon him, a slight grunt each time. He doesn't let this deter him from his own target though, and if the three are going to use him as some sort of target, perhaps Sebryna and Edwyn can come in and land some blows. Smiling under his helmet, Gabriel then takes an even more defensive stance. "Why apologize?" He asks Bethany, not bothered in the least at being the focus of all their attention.

Edwyn dodges the strike from his opponet his own strike being dodged as well. With a slight frown he slides back into a more cautious stance. He doesn't seem to be a reckless sort thats for sure. Each of the blonde al'Callenta's move are controlled and careful his eyes analyzing his oopnet looking for weaknesses and an opening.

With the others all on Gabriel, Sebryna finds it most opportune to take a more aggressive approach to the Tarris Knight and she draws back her blade, the second time in as many moments, after her other had failed her, and she puts more strength behind it, hoping to make a hit.

"It seems, Sir Edwyn, that House al'Callenta trains its men-at-arms well." Gabriel idly comments as both he and Edwyn deliver strikes against their intended foes, and yet both men continue to stand fast. On the other hand, he does take two more solid blows to his chest from the Ashedown siblings. He grunts and steps back to take in a quick breath before engaging once again.

"Indeed it does." Edwyn replies nodding faintly staying focused on his foe. He dodges out of the way of a hit and delivers a light strike to the mans helmet. Gabriel gets a glance after that as he is currently holding his own against three. Edwyn's gaze doesn't linger though it quicklt sweep back to his opponet and searches for another opening to strike.

With every intention of holding back Bethany from damaging Gabriel, Sebryna finds herself suddenly lacking in the skillset to do so. With the Tarris and the squire both taking a go at him, she continues to relentlessly pursue the knight. If the knight gives any indication of turning back on her, she will take a more evasive stance but until then, she is getting more aggressive, the determination making it so.

Corwin scowls, though his helm covers it, despite the fairly solid hit to Sir Gabriel. He does a quick changeup with his feet, turning and backswinging his blade up to surprise Sir Sebryna— perhaps not the most gallant of moves, but this is a melee, after all.

A moment later, Bethany whirls to the opponent at her back, her blade whipping across mid-body at the girl.

Gabriel spots Bethany and Corwin shifting targets too late, though he does manage to get out a "Sebryna, look out!" … right as their blows land. Shit. He's not having much luck in his fight either. The man-at-arms is -still- standing, though yet again they play a round of not landing any blows. This is getting slightly frustrating for him.

Ah, the sound of dulled weapons battering against the armor of others. Music to Bethany's ears. Corwin and her both manage to hit even while she's hit by Sebryna. "Nice, she compliments brother and the other knight a like, her breathing a bit huffed. Considering their options, she continues to focus on her, letting her brother do the same."

Though it had been expected, Sebryna could do nothing about it, she was already dedicated into the swing so that when they cease attacking Gabriel and come after her, while expected, it left her vulnerable to attack from the both of them. The warning from Gabriel is heard, though she had no time to acknowledge it as she takes a hit to her helm and her chestplate, her armor reducing the severity of each. Does not stop it hurting though and she lifts her blade, continuing to go after her original target.

Edwyn does his best to keep his control though he too seems to be getting slightly frustrated. He lets out a breath as he takes a light hit to his chest. He strikes the man at arms on the arm the blow glancing off the armor he wears. Edwyn continues to fight carefully and with caution despite his apparent frustration.

His sister falls, and Corwin stands still only momentarily to guard her retreat. His eyes narrow, calculating as he regards Sebryna. Then… he swings, intending to return her the favor.

"Well played." Bethany signals a yeild and then she steps to the side but not before patting her brother on his arm. It's going to be on him to win them a free round and dinner.

"Thank you, my lady, you as well." Though Sebryna falls silent again, turning on the other who was attacking her, hoping to at least attempt in getting a hit or two in before she, herself, was unable to fight.

Gabriel lands yet -another- bloody hit on this man-at-arms, and he begins to curse. This guy needed a damn promotion. Or a raise. Or both. He spots Sebryna lay Bethany out, and he calls to her, "Well struck, Sir Sebryna." And… he attacks again.

Edwyn takes another hit his own strike missing altogether. Gabriel gets a breif look as he curses but then Edwyn is back to trying to land a hit of his own. He is silent and completely focused at this point.

Gabriel launches a couple of attacks at the man-at-arms, both solid blows, and yet the man continues to stand and deliver his own counter-attacks. Around him, it seems that Sebryna and Edwyn are both busy with their own foes, and as it stands, things are a bit of a stand-off. Hopefully his next attack will lay the man out.

Facing off with the squire, Sebryna finds herself unable to make more than minor hits to his armor, though she moves her feet in an attempt to avoid any return hits.

Sebastian would stay to watch the rest of the fight, but there's Sir Talbot beckoning him. Time to go. He strips off the team surcoat, jogging on over to explain the red mark on his neck. He gets ruffled and a good talking too. They head for the inn.

Corwin continues his assault, grunting at the hit, but unwavering in his determination.

Edwyn's armor protects him this time the hit to his leg slowing his strike and making it easy to dodge. He frowns and it is clear he is getting frustrated he is tense as he circles looking for a good opening.

What is this. That is the question going through Gabriel's mind as the next flurry of attacks and parries between he and his foe amount to absolutely nothing. No hits for either one of them. This must be an off day, or perhaps the One was cursing him. Or maybe this man-at-arms was his father in disguise.

More prepared now, Sebryna continues to swing at the squire and though she makes contact, it is not enough to get him to cede his position in the spar. Her defensive moves, for the moment, seem to be aiding her as well as her offensive. For now.

Corwin scowls, and turns— changing targets. He realizes it leaves him open to Sebryna, but he can only hope to bring down another of the blues before he himself is brought down— win the war, not the battle.

Edwyn moves out of the way. He misses dodges again and then lands a hit that glances off the man at arms's armor. Corwin's approch isn't spotted at first as the al'Callenta is focused on his current traget at the moment.

Gabriel winces as his latest assault on the man-at-arms results in a rather devestating blow to the man's guts. "Poor bastard." He mutters as the man goes down, knocked out cold, and then gets dragged away from the field.

Unable to make any hits on Corwin as he moves in to attack another of the Knights from the north, Sebryna does attempt it, though is more tentative in her swings as not to hit her comrade. Gripping her sword tightly, she swings more fully with an attempt to put strength behind it.

Ah, damn. Corwin is the last man standing, though he shows no hesistation in it. He turns to the man he deems the most powerful foe, and salutes him with his sword before attacking.

Edwyn downs his own opponet at long last and then he turns around to face Corwin bringing his blade up to attack the other with that same collected calm he has shown for most of the fight.

It is a dance of blades as Corwin defends himself from three different attackers: Gabriel, Sebryna and Edwyn. Sebryna's attack bounces off of Corwin's armor, while Edwyn's own attack misses. Gabriel and Corwin go for one another, and wanting to end things, Gabriel purposely steps into Corwin's attack, taking his blade to the chest and then striking hard and fast, delivering a solid strike against the man's own chest, knocking him to the ground.

Stepping back, and breathing hard, he shakes his head. "Well fought, well fought. Shall we go to the Inn so Sir Bethany can buy us drinks now?" He gives them all a grin, as he tosses his sword to another man-at-arms.
