Tory holds her knives loosely in her hands as she tests Brandwyn's skill. Pretending to be lethargic at first, Tory suddenly attacks and takes Brandwyn by surprise.

20 + 9 = 29 - 4 = 25 Total 25

Surprised by the girl, who was only a year younger than she, Brandwyn takes the blow and attempts to skewer Tory with her blade.
18 Head (severe damage – cracked skull or unconsciousness)
18 + 8 = 26 - 2 = 24 Total 24
Tory 25, Brandwyn 24: Tory wins Score Tory 1 to 0
Although it was a good blow, it wasn't quite good enough to win the point. Brandwyn salutes Tory as they circle once more.

Tory figures that she can outlast Brandwyn for stamina, but the Lady is wearing more armor and that is a problem. She lunges again.

19 + 9 = 28 - 4 = 24 Total: 24

Managing to block Tory's thrust at least partly, Brandwyn swings again, hoping to land a blow good enough to stay in the match.

14 + 8 = 22 - 2 = 20 Tory 16, Brandwyn 20: Brandwyn Wins Score Tory 2, Brandwyn 1
Brandwyn heaves a sigh of relief and then resumes her concentration.

Seeing her advantage slipping away, Tory strikes fast.
7 Head (light damage – flesh wound, bruise)
It was not a very good blow and Tory chewed on her lip with worry. She didn't want to loose another match.

Eager to do well for the sake of Tandar watching her, Brandwyn waits for an opening and then takes it.

Knowing this is the deciding bout, Tory takes her time, teasing Brandwyn, darting in and out, trying to wear out the Royal Scout apprentice.
10 Glancing blow (very little to no damage inflicted)
10 + 9 = 19 - 4 = 15 total 15
None too happy, she waits for Brandwyn to strike, hoping she can block it and regain her momentum.

Brandwyn doesn't waste any time, as she is starting to tire.
3 Left arm (light damage – flesh wound, bruise)
3 + 8 = 11 - 2 = 9 Brandwyn 9, Tory 15: Tory wins
Score Tory 3 to 2
Disapointed, Brandwyn smiles sadly at Tory and shakes her hand. "that was very close, Miss Tory. You certainly do know how to use those knives."

The corners of Tory's mouth turn up in a slight smile as she shakes Brandwyn's hand. "Thank you, You are very good with that sword. I sometimes wish I could learn how to use one. Maybe Tandar will teach me some day, but not until I can shoot better than I can spit I am sure." She smiled and went to the list tent to find out whom she was going to fight next.
It had been a very close match and she was happy. Hopefully Brandwyn wouldn't feel too bad for long.
