The Adventure of the Knights of the Red Lance

Wastelands-(I added a location roll for a "building" as well: Standing Stones)-Intrigue-Noble-Knight (object of the Intrigue also Knight)

After leaving the arms of the Lady of the Lake, Blaewen heads South into the Wastelands. There, after several days of travel he comes on a hill topped by a Ring of Standing Stones. There, hanging from the limbs of a dead tree in the center of the ring, is a red lance. Beneath the lance two Knights are fighting. The one has a shield with a field of White and the device of a Red Hart's head, he is armed with a Great Sword.  The other Knight looks almost the same and his shield also bears the device of a  Hart, but this is Black, he is armed with a Mace.
Knight of the Red Hart
MR: 15
Combat Dice: 5d + 8 (Greatsword)
Armor: -13


Knight of the Black Hart
MR: 15
Combat Dice: 4d + 8 (Mace)
Armor: -10


After watching the Knights fight each other to exhaustion, Blaewen offers to mediate their dispute. "Let each of you fight me, in turn.  to the first Blood and whoever defeats me shall be considered the winner of your argument and shall claim the Red Lance." The Brothers agree and the Knight of the Red Hart takes on Blaewen first. The fight is over quickly as Blaewen draws first blood at the first set of blows (I did not use the All-out rules so it would be more clear who had drawn first blood. Blaewen defeated the Knight but his damage would have been absorbed by Armor except for a point of Spite damage that gets through.)
The Knight of the Black Hart then comes at Blaewen. He swings his mace and though his skill is less than Blaewen's he still manages to land a blow which draws blood (1 point of Spite damage.) He is the winner and claims the Red Lance of his own.
