User blog:Leolab/Third tourney round 2: Jorg Ancrath vs Dalinar Kholin

Last round, Cecil beat out Hilde thanks to his lifesaving magic. Now, two new combatants fight.

Jorg Ancrath: Prince of Ancrath and a power-hungry, kill-happy, sociopathic, psychopatic bandit.

Dalinar Kholin: Uncle to King Elhokar and Highprince of War. A fearsome warrior known as the Blackthorn, he is capable of insane feats, such as stopping a Chasmfiend with his hands and only his shardplate.

Jorg Ancrath


Close range: A standard dagger.

Mid range: A sword made out of modern (as in, our time) steel.

Long Range: The Nuban’s Crossbow is a massive, all-metal crossbow that Jorg can barely lift. It contains enchantments to ward off mind control.

Special: A Pike.

Dalinar Kholin
Close range: Dalinar is adept at hand-to-hand combat, especially with the protection and superhuman strength his Shardplate offers him.

Mid Range: Oathbringer is a Shardblade, a special type of blade that creates very fine cuts in all inorganic and dead material it passes through and instantly kills anything living it passes through without cutting it; if it cuts an arm, the arm dies. If it cuts the neck, the head, or a vital organ, the entire being dies. Oathbringer is six feet long from tip to hilt, and slightly curved; a handspan wide, with wavelike serrations near the hilt. It is curved at the tip like a fisherman's hook.

Long range: The so-called “Shardbow” is a longbow enhanced with stormlight to let a Shardbearer use it.

Special: Shardplate is a neigh-unbreakable full suit of armor, but if the stormlight-infused gemstones are broken, the plate is rendered useless and heavy, and the plate itself will shatter with enough force, say another Shardplated assailant repeatedly kicking it. If they are intact, though, the Shardplate imparts superhuman strength, speed, and agility on the wearer. Dalinar’s personal set is left unpainted and grey.
