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.
Both contestants are given sufficient Blood to heal any damage they may have sustained.
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 is grinning as they tool up. Grinning with that awful mouth and its rich red lips and sharp teeth.
"This should be fun. Best hurry up and beat me, eh? Your best shot at getting a prize herd. Groomed these all myself."

As with Mable, the Baron's first actions are primarily defensive. He scuttles back on nimble feet, sword falling into a guarded pose better suited for a saber. His face screws up into a concentrated grimace - focused on the vacant spot where Cross's Beast should be.
Baron Nicholas is going Full Defence this first turn. His Defence is currently 6
