The Retelling of the Masquerade celebration of Dià de los Muertos know as Black and White.
As we arrived people were spewn about preparing for the day. They newer adventurers went on a quest to save the mail carrier who was far to late in delivering a scavenger hunt.
All the whole blue was causing a ruckus and attacking people all about. Many a person becoming enchanted by this spirit after grabbing its weapon. They began to slay their friends and enemies alike.
This continued on for a while as there was a very entertaining bingo card which had spaces that could be filled out by interacting with blue in many ways.
People all about worked on completing their bingo cards in record time all while enjoying the array of the day board. There was an array of savory snacks such as crab bite, charcuterie, bread with flavored butters & dips to name a few.
Drink were also a hot with mulled ciders, flavored water, and poison drink.
Yes many a people died to be able to have a taste, all of which seemed to think it well worth it. Our adventurers with resistance to poison and resisting death became very pertinent in removing the poison so people could enjoy.
All the while fights for champions and tournaments in full swing down in the fighting ring.
Not long after Blackwood Joe came about and told us of his need for assistance. We traveled out to find golems protecting a station in which there was quick the intricate experiment. Having to balance circuits with proper scale patterns to the layline and gather crystals from the golems to power it all. Many new and seasoned adventurers collaborated on this challenge.
404 and the newer adventurers focused on solving the puzzle with their smarts.
Sir Elizah, Sage and I went for the route of trial and error.
In the end we managed to get power through to the circuits. As I wandered back to wet my pallet with more snacks. The team was able to distill opal at the experimental table!
All while I enjoyed a snack or mushroom and broccoli risotto.
After which I was able to convince Pawldo to eat chocolate as a werewolf and complete regicide to complete my bingo card!!
People in the tavern were playing poker, blackjack, and spending there gambled coin at the array of wonderful shops.
As time continued on people switched into their finery and Chimeron enlisted the help of Ser Vesper of Blackwood and Runaris of Invictus to guard their doors so they could complete their blood ritual in peace. Once completed we all moved our way towards court.
Approaching court one could see an array of the mask covering everyone's faces as they settled in.
Many a wonderful things happened at court.
Cecil begun by announcing Chimeron under Sarbia. Then regretting not having magic blocked on himself today if all days.
Sir Wil was made apart of the gabler's guild and a prince of Chimeron, Cressida was made a princess of Chimeron, Pawldo was brought forth as one of the longest serving members of Chimeron and told Prince Regent Orion would dub him avatar of Chimeron at his own coronation.
A fireball was given to Squire Isla by Sir Kovaks in person as they were recognized behind the scenes but deserved their limelight.
The order of the peacock welcomed Liselle into their ranks and named pouches as the next year's fashion statement. They recognized the outstanding ability to look better than the rest to Squire Griffin, Lupa, Sir Kiira, and Myself.
Sir Orion recognized the efforts of Sir Eamon, Fern, Ypnn, and Sir Caleal for their efforts in Gi. How they helped to turn the tide of the battle.
King Cuchulain invited King Cecil to his court in fae.
I'm sure I've missed a few details but it was a court to remember for sure.
We had a nice auction, which I took short leave of to present a (much to handsy with other folks husbands) dead body before my King.
Finally we all went to desert and dance. People enjoyed the evening all while the wild hunt went on in the woods just near.
At this point dance had gone on for a while all while death wandered about.
I decided it was time to take my leave and rest after a day or running about.
It was quite the day of meeting new adventurers and having an array of different things to pass the time. A culmination of King Alexander Cecil hanging up his crown in preparation for Sir Orion to take his seat on the pedestal.
With all due respect and a bit of jest,
Squire Whan-Hedda con Atlantis of Blackwood.
