Pendragon: Tales of Chivalry and Sorcery is the place to go if you want to play Pendragon. Cpt._Funkotron will be your GM, with assistance from CarrieVS.
Bleddyn is blinded by passion and begins shivering erratically with righteous rage. He kicks his mighty destrier onward at a breakneck pace. He couches his lance in the crook of his arm, lowers it, and impales his enemy's head through one side and out the other, snapping the lance. If this hadn't killed him instantly, he was certainly doomed when a half-second later, the gigantic foreign warhorse trampled him under its massive thundering hooves, pummeling him a macabre horror beyond any recognition.
Persidius and Emrys trot after him, Persidius knocks his foe from his feet with great force, and Emrys locks swords with his foe, neither managing to strike the other.
The last three knights, now armored and mounted up on their warhorses, ride to engage them as well, as the Duke of Lindsey can be seen to be sprinting over to his own horse.
Bleddyn is in a spot of bother next round, his weapon is broken which means he must re-arm at a -5 skill penalty, and he fumbled his passion roll which is a further -5 Penalty, which means he will be fighting at a skill of 6. Meanwhile his enemy is mounted (0), impassioned (+5), and fighting an enemy who is re-arming (+5), so will be fighting at a skill of 25. GM Advice: Either Fight Agressively or Defensively for the +10 bonus, or spend a Fate-Point to automatically roll a critical against the mounted knight.

Bleddyn's enemy roled a critial and dealt 40 damage, inflicting a Mortal Wound of 30, his HP is now -5. Even if he gets help of a skilled healer within 1 hour, he has a %99.2 chance of dying.You can either accept this fate for Bleddyn, and most likely make a new character for next year and have Bleddyn's kids inherit his Fate Points, or you can Spend 1 Fate Point to reduce the damage taken by half, which would leave Bleddyn wounded but alive.
Persidius Dispatches both his foes his short order; Bleddyn comes within a hair's breadth of death, but fate intervenes and leaves him with a light wound instead, He strikes back ferociously, but can only deliver a scratch to his enemy in return. Emrys is hard pressed by two opponents.
The Duke's squire is helping his master to mount a horse some distance off.

Persidius - impassioned, one enemy unmounted and knocked down: Sword 23+5+5+5=38, split 28/5.
Elspeth and Leiryn each send a Ceorl falling to the deck, Elspeth's into unconsciousness. Eliver strikes a wicked blow against a Thegn opposite him, but it is not enough to incapacitate him. Terwynn manages to hold her own, taking a light wound in the bicep, and returning a much heavier wound to an opponent's thigh.
Miles, seeing Eliver beset by two enemies, strikes warily at the one nearer to him, drawing his attention.
He's overexerted himself on that leap, and tries to be wiser in this fight.
Defensive with spear against Warrior Eliver is facing.

Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes."
As Eliver concentrates his skill primarily on the wounded Thegn, he realises with relief that he is no longer menaced by two foes at once. Such comfort is short-lived when he sees that the reason for the Warrior's change of interest is the injured Miles. He has done more than enough in this fight, and El can't bear to see him take yet more risks in his weakened state.
Yet there's no sense in distracting him by trying to remonstrate. All Eliver can do is try his best to finish the fight with this one quickly, and come to Miles' aid after.
Balanced, Sword, against the Thegn I'm already facing.
