Thank you, Sir Dirk, for a fun to watch and what looked to be fun to fight tourney. The winner of today's Tourney was Sir Gregoire who was a clear winner for holding the bridge for the longest length of time (over 35 seconds, which compared to the average of about 5 seconds to most others).</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks also to Sir Dirk, We were given a few other tokens to distribute and recognized these other winners today:<br>Hjorlief, for a great second place time of approximately 12 seconds.</div><div>Sir Ranthulfr for choosing one weapon...and sticking with it while defending or opposing on the bridge.<br></div><div>Malachy for pushing the other venans back on the bridge as he was trying to defend.</div><div><br></div><div>There was
unfortunately not enough fencers to hold a tourney today. We'll have to double up next month, folks!</div><div><br></div><div>In addition -- a wonderful day was had at the park with much socializing, great music, and a fun potluck. Thank you to everyone for coming!</div><div><br></div><div>We look forward to seeing everyone for next month's tourney and Kill and Grill. Because of travel schedules and events, we'll be holding that on Sunday, July 1st.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Tairdelbach and Hannah</div><div>Baron and Baroness<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><div>There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ~Edith Wharton<br></div> <div style="font-family: tahoma, new york, times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr

At Their Excellency's pleasure, I propose those worthies who would test<br>their skill at arms in tomorrow shall do so in the manner of that vassal<br>of Harald Hardraada's who, standing on Stamford Bridge in the autumn of<br>1066, fought alone against the entire English army to protect his<br>liege-lord and kinsmen. Ye who would be champions: I say the true test<br>of a hero is how one greets one's death. Read of Beowulf, or Cormac, or<br>Gisli. <br><br>Also, it's melee season.<br><br>Tomorrow's tournament shall therefore be a limited front engagement,<br>bear pit, four on one (cycling through venans as they rez). Victory<br>shall be determined by how long the tenan holds the bridge, timed from<br>the cry of "lay on!" until the tenan's eventual defeat. Venans, if they<br>so choose, may enter combat without competing for victory.<br><br>- dirk<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Barony mailing list<br><a
