As Geralt has previously ran a gauntlet of best unnamed fighters in Warhammer Fantasy lore previously, figured we would throw him into another one, this time, against named characters. However, he will only be going up against 'human' foes.

Scenario 1: Mundane Equipment, No Signs or Magical Potions/Items may be used by anyone.

Scenario 2: Geralt may use signs, standard fatigue still applies, and may take any potion you feel will assist him [Although doesn't mean they will stand and let him drink it]. Warhammer Humans get their magical gear/abilities. But not their mounts [So no Deathclaw or Imperial Dragon for Karl]

Rules

1. Geralt is rested and recovered after each round.


2. This is Lore Geralt. No gameplay.


3. No Prep for either side


4. Neither side has prior knowledge of their foe.


5. Fleeing the field counts as a loss


6. All fights are 'in-character'.

Location

Each fight starts in an empty field, fifty feet from one another.

The Combatants

Round One: Brunner the Bounty Hunter

Round Two: Mathias Thulmann

Round Three: Kurt Helborg

Round Four: Ludwig Schwarzhelm

Round Five: Karl Franz

Round Six: Wulfrik the Wanderer

Round Seven: Felix Jaeger

Round Eight: Luthor Huss

Round Nine: Valten

Round Ten: Louen Leoncoeur

How far does Geralt get? Can he clear? Which rounds does he struggle with? Which rounds does he clear fairly easily?

Weird order, as Kurt > Ludwig > Karl. Karl is a leader, not a peerless warrior like those two and Kurt has beaten Ludwig in every duel they ever fought, the only time Ludwig won was when he was bloodlusted and Kurt didn't want to kill him. Also take Kurt or Ludwig over Wulfrik. Felix is kinda an odd one to place because he beats foes the others would struggle with yet also struggles against foes the others wouldn't. Not sure I'd place him over Kurt Helborg.

Anyways, without magic or their normal gear:

• 
  Brunner - Geralt. [Can't recall if Brunner has a gun or not... don't... don't think he does, been a long time since I read that novel].


• 
  Mathias - Geralt. Unless Mathias is given his boomstick. Then, he should win via shooting Geralt, but I think that goes against the 'spirit' of this which seems to be more 'skill', so in a sword fight, Geralt should win without too much issue.


• 
  Kurt - Kurt. I think Kurt is a better duelist then Geralt and its not like he doesn't have his own fair share of cool stuff, like, Ludwig, a guy who Kurt has beaten in every duel, goes toe to toe with Doombulls and wins in a head on confrontation, something Geralt would not likely come out pretty in [although I think Geralt could take a doombull if he prepped like he normally does].


• 
  Ludwig - I'd probably take Ludwig, although I could be swayed to back Geralt.


• 
  Karl - Geralt. Karl is a master leader and statesmen, his warrior abilities are solid, but he is no Kurt.


• 
  Wulfrik - I'd take Geralt. Wulfrik is good and all, but I feel he isn't.. as good as the hype around him, also just don't really like Wulfrik too much. Used to, but his novel really soured him for me. Seriously. [Oh, I'ma dump you wife because you 'smell' like the other man. You know, the one they forced you into marrying when they told you I was dead and when you refused they locked you up and tortured you to the point your back is a mess of lash marks and scars, but, hey, lol, Wulfrik and its your fault for being raped and forced into this marriage with someone else.]


• 
  Felix - Geralt. Felix is very good, one of the best, but he is also easily intimidated, all things considered, so I think Geralt should take it. Felix would make him work for it thought. And Gotrek kills Geralt when he finds out his sidekick was killed. I can think of a few fates worse then being chased by Gotrek after you have killed Felix.


• 
  Luthor - Geralt. Luthor is great, but I feel like.. with no magic, so no divine amps, he isn't really suited to fighting someone as fast as Geralt. Luthor is a bruiser, at least, that is the impression I always got from his novel.


• 
  Valten - Valten. Despite losing to Archaon, he was pretty potent and was barely human.


• 
  Louen - Louen. This one is pretty obvious.

With Magic and their gear:

• 
  Brunner - Geralt. By an even larger margin.


• 
  Mathias - Geralt. Unless said pistols come into play and Geralt may still be able to win that one if we use game Geralt.


• 
  Kurt - Close. Guess it depends on how many potions and what kind Geralt prepares because the runefang is a very large obstacle to over come. The whole, 'my sword will cleave through yours so you can't parry me or let me parry you' is a pretty big deal. I could go either way.


• 
  Ludwig - Since Kurt is slightly better then Ludwig, if the above could go either way, I think Geralt can take this. In a hell of a fight.


• 
  Karl - Karl. While Karl isn't as good a warrior, his gear pushes him to victory especially if Sigmar decides to amp him like he has done in the past.


• 
  Wulfrik - I'd still take Geralt.


• 
  Felix - Unless there is a dragon nearby to amp Felix, Geralt will take this easier then he did in the last one. Again though, dies to Gotrek once Gotrek finds him... As will everyone in the room... and probably the building... and the next few over because that will be one pissed off dawi.


• 
  Luthor - Geralt. I.. don't believe Luthor carries any magical gear. Dude does everything mundane. Luthor could, possibly, win if he uses a lot of divine amps, but as he is fighting a human, I doubt he would spring for them... or even be blessed enough to do them at the time. So, Luthor 'could' win, but I think Geralt would win as his style is better suited to a duel while Luthor is more, 'I'ma wade into that army and start Sauroning it up' kinda guy.


• 
  Valten - Valten. Even more now with the gear he is given such as the anti-magic dwarf armor that was potent enough to no-sell Nagash's [albeit a weaker Nagash] magic and Ghal-Maraz.


• 
  Louen - Louen. Still pretty obvious.

@killerwasp Yeah, I said Geralt can take one of those sissy Doombulls. Fight me.

God why did it have to be the Imperials

I am bad at these guys' lore

Also hardstop at Valten, who would demolish Geralt badly

@wut: I will puss, challenge me to a CAV if you have the balls to do so! Doombull one shots weakling Geralt! Taurox still one shots Grimgor!

@killerwasp: Couldn't hear you over your love of the furry.

I'd like to see Geralt vs Grimgor

you two think that would be fun?

@decaf_wizard: Nah, Grimgor would slaughter pretty bad.

Yea thats why I wanna see it

@decaf_wizard: grimgor grts stomped he can’t handle magic at all he’s a weak pos Xd
