BARATHEON VS. BARATHEON VS. BARATHEON

BARATHEON VS. BARATHEON VS. BARATHEON: A Scenario

The three brothers enter the arena. Robert to one side, Stannis to the other with Renly in the middle. "You realise that only one of us can leave alive?" Stannis decrees as he stares into Roberts antlered helm. "Brothers, do we have to fight, we're stronger together. We could rule the realm without opposition." says Renly as he tries to mediate between his older brothers. "Balls to your co-operation. I already rule this realm." booms Robert as he hold his warhammer ready for action. Unsheathing his sword, Stannis readies himself. "If that's how you wish to lose then so be it"

"But brothers...." Renlys final plea is interrupted by a loud bellow from Robert as his mighty warhammer swings through the air with ease at Stannis but he is too quick and easily steps out of range allowing Renly to take the full impact in the chest. Renlys chest plate crumples under the force as he flies backwards and lands on his back, spitting blood as his lungs suffer from the shattered ribs that have just impaled them.

Stannis takes his chance and hurls a wave of timed slices at Robert but is countered at every advance. The usurper stands his ground as Stannis circles his opponent weighing up his attacking opportunities. Each attack is blocked or parried with the occasional glancing blow hitting each combatant leaving a mark to remind them that this is to the death.

In attempt to drive Robert back Stannis launches wide ranging sweeps making Robert wary. Already getting out of breath he loses his concentration and does not notice his little brother lying in a crumpled heap behind him. Seizing the opportunity Renly plunges his dagger into Roberts leg dropping him to his knees. With a loud scream Robert pulls the blade out and turns his attention to Renly. That is an invitation that Stannis cannot ignore.

He aims a heavy swing at Roberts head aiming to take it off in one fell swoop. Alas Robert, in his prime, is too seasoned for that to work. Even injured he still has the skill to semi block the blow at the last minute and it takes his helm clean off his head shattering one of the antlers. With blood streaming down his head Robert looks down at the shattered antler and with the Baratheon words ringing in his head he allows all of his anger to drive him forward.

He takes swing after swing at Stannis, shocking him into retreat but eventually the battle is too much for him and Robert brings his warhammer crashing down on him killing his brother outright. He then turns to his other brother. "Stab me when my back is turned will you." he screams as he limps towards Renly. "Brother, please.....", but his pleas are in vain. "Your no brother of mine." bellows Robert as he brings his warhammer crashing down to claim the victory.

Robert Baratheon wins.
