The circle is prepared. Sawdust is splashed over gravel and the lightly constructed cane swords are presented to the two contestants.
Once the two Kindred are ready, Stax formally leads them into the circle. He will bow to both and then retreat across the cordon where he encourages the others to gather and watch.
MELEE DUELS
No Discipline use allowed.
The wooden swords are of a light construction, granting a +2B bonus to Weaponry rolls. However, they are particularly flimsy and if an e-sux (5+ successes) are achieved on a roll, the weapon will shatter in a profusion of woody shards. A shattered sword offers no Equipment Bonus.
Swords are not replaced till the end of the match.
You may take penalties if you wish to reflect your character pulling their blows.
Duels are ended when one of the contestants starts taking Lethal damage, leaves the combat arena or else yields to their opponent.
Baron Nicholas, Groom of the Invictus, is chuckling to himself by the time he approaches the circle. He is still smiling when he receives his lightly constructed sword, and his chortles get only louder once he has made several practice swings.
"Interesting tooth pick. A good choice though. Don't want to cause unnecessary damage now, do we?" The wink he passes to Mable suggests otherwise, as does the rictus snarl of his ruby lipped monstrous mouth. "Let us dance!" He swaggers into the circle and very nearly gets caught flat footed once the match begins...

He barely recovers, forced to focus purely on defence as he dodges and circles away from Mable to give himself space for a counter strike.
