Below the Salt VI - A New Hope
(2014-05-16 - 2014-05-18 - Site opens at 5:00 PM & Closes at 12:00 PM)
Baelfire Dunn

It is a period of civil unrest in the barony. The Baron, drawn by the need to defend his lands, has pulled his nobles to him for war. In the ensuing clashes the ranks of the nobility were decimated, leaving many lands without a Lord.

In one such area, known as the Canton of Baelfire Dunn. The peasants gather for their spring festival near the now abandoned castle of their long dead overlord. Unknown to these simple folks, lawless men have targeted these good people and are about to attack.

Meanwhile it has been whispered that several nobles are attending the festivities in secret. Their purpose and intentions are unknown, but it is said they are looking for a good party.

Will the pirates steal all of the peasants livestock? Will the disguised nobility enjoy the festival? And who will "acquire" enough gold coins to win the day?

Come to Below the Salt! Where EVERYONE has fun! And NOBODY gets left out of the party!

Martial Activities:  You are hungry pirat... er, sailors that happen upon a Lord\'s farm. Seeing the abundance of livestock and feeling the grumble in your bellies you decide to take the animals and have a feast with them. Cautious as you are, you send in your newest pira (err) sailors in saving your experienced (older) crew for later. The animals will be placed through out the field. The defenders can not move them until they have been moved by the attackers. You take the field by reverse OP. 1 fighter every 10 seconds. Unlimited Resurrections. 20 min time limit. Rinse and repeat for every team.

Arts & Sciences Activities:  A local scholar by the name of Geffri will attempt to teach our dirty peasants to read and write with an open Scriptorium!  There will also be an Artisan\'s Row with examples of the peasantry\'s works in cheese making and basket weaving!
