Baelfire Dunn
After a bloody feud, the nobility has put an end to itself. Without any nobles to keep things civil, the peasants have taken over and are partying like it is 999. Come join us as we clean out the coffers and raid the forest. No rules, no nobles, no limits!Heavy Fighting:
Grand Melee!! Come out and beat the snot out of your buddy and then cool off later with an ice cold bee . . er, um . . . beverage! Anyway, we will also be having three tournaments, including a greybeards tourney sponsored by Sir Godfried, a novice tourney (open to any who have never won a tourney), and an open tourney.
Rapier Fighting:
SHIP to SHIP combat. Bring your own crew or form one when you get there!
A&S:
The brewing contest is always resounding success and I have already heard of gentles preparing their brews for this one! Bring your best! Bring your worst! Also, we will be having a Peasant Garb Fashion Show! Extra points will be given for authenticity, but points will be deducted for particularly strong odors!
Scavenger Hunt:
Children, if you have to be there, you might as well have something to do. Use the clues and find all the items and receive a prize. But watch out for the OGRE, he’ll take everything you got and you have to start all over.
Feast:
Several local cooks are using all the best meat, vegetables, and spices from the noble kitchens to prepare the dishes they have always dreamed of. Contact Alison MacLeod (Alison Rhodes), (828) 499-0208, pinkevilkitty@yahoo.com, with any dietary concerns.
Hafla:
Saturday night Halfa will be like none other, dancing, fire, food, musicians, etc.
