A Royal Visit!

A grand total of 11 hit the field today, with two very special visitors, King Marcus and his consort, Katae. The day began with a two team class annihilation game with a twist; two ancient, sky-high walls situated in a T-shape in the middle of our field! How these towers appeared in our practice grounds, we aren't quite certain, but play around them we must!

The battle raged on with the barriers in place. In the interest of the game, all players pretended that these walls, marked by rope on the grass, existed, which led to much laughter as we ducked and dodged around their corners. The heat of the day drove everyone to their water jugs as soon as the battle was over, and then we geared up for another game that utilized our walls.

This game consisted of three teams competing to collect the most chips that were stored in the container in the middle of the field, equally spaced from each of the teams. The goal was to run to the bucket in the middle, grab a single chip, and make it back to your team's respective bucket alive so you could deposit said chip and then go pillage another from the center. The walls guarded the chips as best they could, but the three teams of three were ultimately victorious in robbing the center bucket of its 40 chips. Again, we all tried to beat the heat with plenty of water, laughs, and oo's and ahh's over King Marcus's hammer he brought.

As our mighty druid Hagari was called away on mundane matters, battle continued without him. We fought another class game in the heat, with the walls changing shape somewhat to add a fresh twist. We followed this up with a game of minion, wherein players killed others seemingly at random, only to turn the dead into zombie armies that followed them around the field. After this, the heat of the day won us over, and we retreated to our respective village

Thank you all for coming out and making this another fantastic day in the Valley of Smoke, and a special thank you to our visitors for coming down to fight with us. King Marcus presented Henry Greatwing with a long overdue gift of a new tunic. Prada was elevated to Lord for his service to the local group as well.

We also collected 79 cans for the Amtgard Food Fight, which puts us quite a bit closer to our 250 can goal! Again, thank you all for coming out and making it a great time!
