Hark Gentles, one and all!

 

Autumn is soon upon us; crops must be
harvested, stores replenished, and enemies vanquished before winter
descends. 

Join us for heavy war scenarios, dancing,
bards, classes, the Tournament of Roses, the infamous troll and
cliff battles, fun, and frivolity. Great prizes and glory to be
won!

A new addition for Saturday! Even more Rapier
at Barons Ball!
There will be a “lava pit” homage to “Hunkerhausen” prize
tournament and pickups. The prize is a hand forged set of hardware
for a fifteenth century belt made by Michael Lancaster.

Scenarios for this year’s Baron’s Ball:

Baron’s Ball is a Norman team tournament”

Combatants will be divided into two teams and every combatant will
be assigned a number by the lists. The teams will engage in a
series of melee combat scenarios. When a combatant dies, he/she
goes to the lists table to report a death for him/her and the
number of the fighter that killed him/her. At the end of the day,
the fighter with the most wins minus losses is declared the
winner.

Scenario 1: Castle battle: Teams take turns 15 min defending
and 15 min attacking the castle. 
Scenario 2: Dragon battle – Teams select a group of five fighters
to be lashed together to fight as the “Dragon”. The opposing team
sends a series of heroes to slay the dragon. Team that defeats the
dragon with the least amount of fighters gets one victory each.
Scenario 3 – Open Field: 20 minute open field battle.
Scenario 4 – Troll Cliff battle: Teams will assemble at either end
of a cliff path that has two troll caves. Teams must fight the
other team while surviving the attacks of the trolls and avoiding
falling to their death.
