It seemed as if everyone had something to do this week, which lowered numbers drastically. But still, we charged on, getting in the practice that we could on the field despite our low numbers. When everyone comes back from vacation, we will have our numbers high again! 

Five took to the field on this sunny day, and we began with a simple class annihilation game. The game was divided into magic users vs. melee users with a wizard, druid, and bard against a florentine wielding monk and assassin. It soon became clear that an experienced wizard enchanted with Golem and Stoneskin by a druid is a nasty combo. Zwick was able to create a decent amount of havoc among the melee team by using his Lightning Bolt and sword combo while protected by 3 points of armor that was constantly being repaired via Mend. All the while our bard made sure that Zwick's abilities stayed charged and the other team stayed sufficiently Shoved away.

After the slaughter of the inferior melee classes, we all took a water break and chatted for a bit about the widespread desire to attend the upcoming event in Huntington before gearing up for a militia only minion game.

Zwick won two of the three minion games with Seran winning the last one. Everyone had a lot of fun, many laughs were had, and the heat was beginning to get to us all.

We then took another water break before gearing up for another class annihilation, unfortunately making sure to split up the wizard and the druid this time. 

This time when Hagari tried to dominate with Golem, he was forced to enchant the less tanking-minded Seran rather than the fearless bearded Zwick and quickly realized that the hit-and-run tactics of assassins make them not so amazing tanks. However, the few enchantments Hagari was able to get onto our assassin and bard before being skewered by the Green Lantern polearm of Henry Greatwing proved fairly useful, and the bard's ability to instantly charge abilities ensured that Seran's weapon was always poisoned.

After that, we were all beginning to feel drained by the heat and slowly began to pack our things. All in all, it was a good day and a lot of fun!
