With surprising speed Duke Ghorien grabs the shield from next to him and vaults the barrier in a fluid movement, throwing himself and his shield headlong between the Sir Estevan and the Baron, seemingly aiming to knock the Green Knight back long enough to get the Baron out of the way.

[X-DM Jon]

The sun glitters, throwing a thousand sparkles around the falling fiery sword of Roesone. Thousands upon thousands open their mouths in screams as the end of the line of Roesone looms in clear view!

 The sun glitters, reflecting the myriad colors of Estevan Daulton's impregnable green armor. It is an otherworldly sight!

 The sun glitters in the fiery pools of madness that shine from the Green Knight's eyes.

 Many are caught in frozen terror! A few vault the barriers and storm the Green Knight. Baron Medoere at the front. Duke Ghieste behind him.

The Baron is saved, but Hiriele finds himself receiving a heavy metal-reinforced shield in the chin, sending him sprawling in the dust.

At the same time Enlien is chasing away a few commoners who has somewhat unwisely breached the barrier...

[X-Medoere & RCS/KE (Thorsten)]

Swearing most unsemingly at the commoners, Kaven wrestles sword and scabbard free of his belt, not stopping to actually draw the blade, but moving to stand above the wounded Baron, ready to intercept the fatal strike with the ornate half-moon covered scabbard, even as he raises his voice.
"Pause, Ser Estevan... A break in the duel must be called to sort this out!"

[X-Ghieste & HOT/GH (Matt)]

While attempting to regain his feet with as much grace as possible Ghorien joins the shout, calling on the crowd to speak for it too.

"Break! Break!"

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

Patriarch Rashid, rises from his seat and rushes forward into the grounds. His bodyguards folowing closely.

"See to the swordmage, this duel is over. There is no sayim left here, save what can be saved." He orders Alycia the Paladin bodyguard.

He then grabs hold of Arvour and lets his Lay on Hands give some relief to the bleeding Baron. "Lets get you out of the way, yes?" He says with a grim smile.

[DM B]

Estevan seems to have forgotten all about Arvuor now, focusing on his new prey:

Ghorien scrambles madly to escape the sword seeking his life, until the blade finally slices through his right forearm, severing it. The lost arm does, however, save his life, for the sword loses momentum and fails to pierce his chest and end his life. The Knight, however, seems to think his dead, and as the Duke's mind starts to cloud from pain and lost blood, he turns around and launches himself at the Patriarch's bodyguard...

In moments three of them are down, crippled or and, and the Knight's blade nearly ends the Patriarch's life - who is bent over Arvuor - with a heavy slash to the neck. Baron Enlien, however, is forced to intervene, and suddenly he's fighting for his life...with the rest of the Patriarch's bodyguard standing around indecisively.

It's become a bloodbath!

[DM B]

...with a voice made strong by his divine blood, the blood-crazed Knight suddenly bellows:

"I will kill you all. None can stand before my might."

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

"Disengage... Pull out." Rashid sputters weakly, clutching his bleeding throat and moving backwards out of the fray.

[X-Medoere & RCS/KE (Thorsten)]

Fighting for all his worth to stay alive, not once thinking about going on offensive, Kaven raises his voice clearly in prayer. Not for himself, but for the Green Knight and the fallen around him.
"The light of Haelyn surrounds you,
The love of Haelyn enfolds you,
The power of Haelyn protects you,
And the presence of Haelyn watches over you;
Wherever you are, Haelyn is, guiding, watching! protecting!"

[X-Endier & KoH/GdN (Joe)]

Sir Guy de Nichalier sighs, draws his axe, and moves warily to engage the Green Knight to prevent him from killing anyone else.  His bodyguards move in also.  Guy shouts to them "Subdue him, he must be under a compulsion of some sort".

[X-Osoerde (Alan)]

"Pontiff, now might be the time for the divine magic of the All-Father," william says.

[X-Ghieste & HOT/GH (Matt)]

The Ducal Guard of Ghieste, stunned by their Duke's sudden action break quickly into movement as they see the Green Knight strike him. As one they leap the barrier and run fell pelt towards their charge, several diving on top of him to protect his person from further attacks while the others attempt to lock shields in a circle round him. From inside that wall of men and steel there is a shout echoing,

"Healer! Get me a healer! Now!"
