VIGILS OF THE CHIVALRY AND PELICAN
We have moved up our schedule so that we can host Our Majesties of AEthelmearc for the exciting celebrations and elevations of two of our populace. Enjoy the view of the riverside and the hospitality of Sir Tarl as he accepts advice and support prior to his elevation to the Order of the Pelican. Alongside the reception tent will be the vigil tent of THL Carlos Sanches de Burgos. As he will be instructed to sit in Vigil as he contemplates a role in the Order of Chivalry.
THE BASHING
This will be our “traditional” Heavy Combat Random Weapons Bearpit at the Borderwatch Training Hall. You and your opponent will have to roll a D20 to determine with what weapon you will use in the list. You have to roll the dice with every fight! It might be a spear, a dagger, a sword, a chicken… We will also provide the rubber chicken if you happen to roll the unlucky “13”. You need to hit them in the face with the chicken if you want to win that fight. We will have a supply of pre-inspected weapons you can borrow if you roll a weapon you didn’t bring yourself.
RANDOM RAPIER
The fencers will also be subject to a Random Weapons Bearpit at the Firehall. You and your opponent will have to roll a D12 to determine with what weapon you will use in the list. You have to roll the dice with every fight! It might be a spear, a dagger, a sword, … We will have a supply of pre-inspected weapons you can borrow if you roll a weapon you didn’t bring yourself.
