27 September Hermits Hold

Today I went to Hermits Hold to fight in the castle battle sponsored by Stormhaven. I had a blast, the castle battles went amazingly well. On the ditch field I heard the absolute perfect line. Said to Sir Robin "If only I were better I would so kick your ass!!" Hermits Hold was a great host for this event and Stormhaven along with HH decided to try to do it more often, since its just about the middle for NL and SH folks and fairly close for BS members to travel up and fight in the amazing castle battles and fun times. We had a couple of castle battles and then started a pick up jugging thing. Just about everyone who wanted to got in one game or another.

The role play and garbing were great, allot of people played each game in some form or other of their character it was great to see and hear. Everyone who didn't go this trip keep an eye on the lists for the next time they are going to do it and try to go, it was a great time and allot of fun.

After the day at the field ended, we went to Abby's pizza for dinner. Just about everyone who was at the field made an appearance. We sat and talked, laughed and joked, gave each other a hard time. It showed some old school camaraderie. I miss doing things like that.

26 September

So today I went to Angels Haven to fight. About all I can say is wow. I don't really think they play our game anymore. Partial parry, armor hidden by clothing, other things. I showed up about 1pm or 1:30 while they were playing a game of football. I would have unbalanced the teams so I sat out on my own suggestion. The next thing on the agenda was a relic quest. For Himdals Horn. At the start of the quest I was asked why I was participating, since I couldn't win the relic. So I played anyway knowing I couldn't win, not really wanting to win but to just have fun. I fought as a barbarian using long and board. After eliminating the entire other team at least once, I ran into another player who had 5 points of armor supposedly and no purple sash. Wow really? Since I couldn't even see his armor I didn't believe he had any on let alone the amount reserved for warriors. Then I fought him in front of a reeve... well after hitting him 10 or 12 times as he claimed to block part of every shot thrown, I stabbed him 6 times right in the gut then asked how much "armor" he had? I was told you only hit me once and I still have 4 points on torso!!!!!!!!

About all I can say about Angels Haven is WOW.
Not going back here again.

NL coranation

So for those of you who didnt go to the NL event yesterday, you missed a fun day on the ditch field and a good fast easy simple quest. IT aws fun because it was so fast adn easy. Court and feast were a bit messed up not due to anyone failing, just due to bodies falling apart. Naomi did a good job scrambling to in a replacement feast on extremely short notice. Granted it was pizza, but it was ot and fresh so not a totaly bad thing.

I would like to point out if you havent been to Gypsy Hallow it isnt a bad park. THe people are fairly personable, the fighting was clean and thre were many smiles to be seen.

Thanks to the clan of gypsies for actually makeing me roleplay to get you to court, it was fun. I dont use the accent often enough anymore.

A few highlights from court, Doggy got a gryphon, you have to see the pic of his face its almost priceless. Laylen got knighted, so welcome SIR KAYLIN serpent knight of amtgard.

I was glad to see people from many different lands show up, its always nice to see people I know from one land at anothers park. Makes for good times all around.

Christian, and Gypsy Hallow thanks for hosting the event, I would say it was a good one overall. THere were over 85 people there so some how word got around.

Ragu, I hope to see you around. Make sure you bring Torig and the rest of the holding next time!!!

Pac-War!!

So another Pac-War has come and gone. What a weekend!! The sun was great, the fighting was good and the parties were even better. Enough of the lame comentary, you wanna know what I did this weekend, I know you do, come on admit it! What I did at pac-war..............

Thursday. Got lost on the way to site, still showed up around 1215 or so, about 15 minutes late of planned arrivial time. Set up my camp right in front of this REALLY pimpin tarp painted to look like a castle witha trebuchet in front, yup them Anhilus boys camp. Said my hello's then off I went back north about 2 hours to longview to pick up a member of Mythril Hills because I said I would. Got back about 430 5 o'clockish. Sat gate for my shift, got to give a really cool speech about the Amtgard Multi-Pass! Thursday night we had, I think and I may be wrong I didnt get to look at final numbers, 150 or so people on site. Alot for the first night of a 3 day event, not on a long weekend. There was lots of experienced people there as well as quite a few new people to eitehr the game or to the NW amtgard scene. I didnt fight in the ditch-a-thon so I do not know how that went, I sat out due to my feet.

Friday. Lots more people showed up, the assassin game started, AMAZING camp work done by more then just the Anahilus boys. The ten man around the world games went ok in the evening, with SIlverMoon as the victor. The morning went to the Bear Pit tourney. The tourney went ok, after we got more then one ring going. The final numbers of kills for the entire three brackets made for a close, very close finish. The third place was seperated from first by 3 or 4 kills, for 90 minutes of fighting in 80+ degree heat, it was close and very few tempers flared if any. The first place prize a cool sword went to Sir Atog, from BL (? i think), second place, Sir Robin, Stormhaven 2 kills behind and third place was one kill behind that.
Lots and Lots of new garb, fun little add ons and thigns were seen around camp, lots of music period music that is was heard.

Saturday. The main war day, the jugging day and the dragonmaster. There were more than a few entries to dragonmaster. Jerago complained that there were so many he was run ragged! HUZZAH!
Some really pretty things were displayed, very nice.
The jugging tourney was a change over nightmare, first double elim, then single then double, then single then finally double. Then first move on stone, then move on count then dead circle then live circle, was lots of fun, just too many different versions of jugging are played, so we had to settle on a way to play, no wories. The fighting went rather well, no injuries so thats good. Annihalus Yodeling Penis's won.

Court went well, some awards bieng long deserved, some not so deserved. The pie in the face was for 2 pies, Queen Christianna getting one and Arastiri getting the other. The 2 pies sold for 180 dollars or so.

So now we are in the Reign of Emperor Staton ( Gameface) lets hope the next 6 months go well and that we have lots of fun. Next Regents Rambling location Gypsy Hallow for Northern Lights Corination.

another week

So went to SM this, (Shrouding Mist) weekend, fought in the champions tourney. Did ok. Got rained on, sunny skies, more rain torrential downpour, more sun. All in about 45 minutes. No big deal.

Now on to the great part.

So Blackspire you can either rejoice, laugh sniker or hell down right gufaw.. Your regent is a dumb ass. This evening when doing many different things at once, I turned on the stove to start water for Mac and Cheese. Then off i went, more things to do. About 20 minutes later.... BOOM wtf!!!Go running to the kitchen to see.....fire and black stuff that looked clear at one point? Ooww shit hot huny umm i think thats a fire give me hand, use shoes!

Long story short.... I cut my foot, burned it and burned the other one too. I guess correll does explode if you leave it on a burner on high for 20 minutes. whoops wrong burner.

( i will fill more in after i get something done about my feet)

Moral of this story... Glass when heated to the point of explosion is still sharp and HOTTT when you step on it. Especially the week before Pac-War
