I think I'm going to do both - so fancy a duel?

Hmm, I don't know who to socialize with...

Sounds good to me!

"Why the curiosity?"

"It is in my nature to be curious, even more than is good for me. If you feel uncomfortable you don't have to answer my question ofcourse."

"It doesn't seem to have been in your nature to be curious before. Why the change?"

Gimme the circumstances you want for the duel, and I shalt duelerise thee!

"Well there is always a certain level of familiarity that needs to reached before I dare to voice my curiousity. Secondly in the weeks before I had more important things on my mind. But at the moment this glorious day grants me some time to do this rather than worry about when the next orc is going to charge."

He shrugs.

"What do you want to know? I'm a Lord of Arnor and I made my name leading war parties against the Orcs over the years, in the time when it was becoming clear that the Witch-King was starting to marshall his forces again."

"I was wondering what your idea is about the mobility of the orc armies"

The same as an official swordsmanship duel would be? Just until one of us has clearly lost, and surrenders.

That okay, Lana?

Sounds good to me, as I haven't a clue how the combat system or anything works in this game.

Your character much of a swordfighter, Lana?

"How do you mean?" asks Farael.

"They seem to be able to strike just about where they want. atleast that is the impression I have. I wondered if you had any thoughts about it"

Decent at it, I believe...better at archery, though.

Ok, well, remember that Swordsmanship is akin to fencing, so it's not like an outright killer duel; it's a civilised affair.

Farael shrugs.

"People like to believe that Orcs are brainless savages. Truth is, if organised, they are pretty good at strategic thought. Orcs are pretty fast- they don't tire quickly and go at a good pace. Only daylight slows them down. They just need to camp out in the right place and they could get anywhere they need pretty quick."

"That is a very good observation. Do you think it is possible the orcs travel through the downs?"

"That's the only way they could have come to have attacked the Princess' convoy."

"Ok Thank you, now I have a bit of a different question are you planning on participating in any of the tournament events?"

"No," he says, simply.

Well I'm fine with that.

"Thank you for your insights Lord Farlean but I'd best be off now since I have a few other lords with whom I'd wish to speak before the tournament starts."
