Boy, I feel sorry for you,
missing all this.
Have you ever eaten a moose?
I have. How about a bear? I have. And maybe if you go
next year, you will.
Besides the tried and true
history of delicious game meat being served at Sir Shean’s event (And no, I did
not convince him that people, goblinoids or dragons count as game meat), new
things were attempted as well. For the first time in probably ever, the
Adventurer’s Guild set up shop in the Creathorne lands. Monster arenas
were crashed, ninjas were killed, and land rights were solved, all in roughly
under a hour each.
Besides
the issues of steel, there were those of song, as the Bardic contest once again
continued this year. I performed a fantastic original song to the rave reviews
of completely not placing.  
More
surprising however was the defeat of last year’s winner, Garharz, whose
rendition of the Captain’s Wife Lament lost to the dark horse Tempest. Who
cleaned house with a stellar cover of Celtic Woman’s “The Voice”.
Most suprising of all was
court, or rather, how short court was. There was only one major announcement,
where Neden announced a new loaner garb and gear service to the realms.
They also gave someone a N,
but who really cares about this… Jim Boptop? Whoever he was, he’s not
important.
