Wanting to brag on my guys

Post by freiman the minstrel »

Guys,

We had a female fighter named Morrigan here in Nebelwald not too long ago. I have been talking about her pretty much non stop since April.

What she had done before Pennsic was pretty impressive. She went from her first night in armor to her card in seventeen days. It makes sense to say that none of her training buddies had the slightest bit of input in the decision to authorize her, except as training buddies.

Well, she is a Calontiri now. She is in Omaha right now, and I am told that she is taking sewing lessons with her Grandmother while she waits out the last two weeks before college.

But, this is about what she did at Pennsic.

She joined all my other campmates that were eligible and entered the Knowne Worlde Novice Tourney, and she was awarded the prize for most chivalrous.

Another one of mine, Ryoko, from New York, won most inspiring appearance. I can brag on him, as he is one of mine, but I can't take credit, as he trained himself in the New York area, training with the likes of Sir Tanaka and Sir Albrict (called "Brick").

He fought in a heavily customized helmet that was sent to him by Sir Bryce, who might have been king of Atlantia when he sent it.

The watch phrase for the tourney among my guys was "the only thing you can prove here is that you are a dick." I don't believe that any of my fighters showed the slightest bit of calibration issues, though I feel like Morrigan may have felt some things were good, when I would have said otherwise had I been hit with the same blows.

Also, Morrigan entered the Chalkman Pub's "Key of D" competition, playing her fiddle with several Omegans backing on guitar, bass and drums, and won the special MC's award. This was her first music competition ever, and she has a grand total of six and a half months of study on the fiddle, plus two semesters in High School.

The phrase for the chalkman competition was "Too drunk to play is unacceptable."

Anyway, I feel very proud of my folks, and I wanted to brag.

Grats man. Sorry I only had a minute to say hi at Maeryk's camp. I was doing squirely things and had a short timeframe. We will sit down and have a beer one of these years 8)

Freiman, i was really pleased to have you and Morrigan come to my Calontir camp and share a cider, not once but twice, with me. and thankyou for the fight we had before the battles started. i hope our paths shall cross again soon along with our swords. I shall see Morrigan next month at the Valor tourney in Wichita, Kansas and i hope to cross swords with her there. well done and you deserve to brag on your guys. cheers ! :D

Wish I could have been there my friend. Maybe next year our paths will cross. If I'm able to make it to war I will make a point to hike from The valley down to your camp with a bottle of mead just for you!

Morrigan was in the list I marshaled for this tourney and I admit she was very impressive both in her attitude and love of the game. I am glad she was awarded the prize for most chivalrous, I believe it was well earned and deserved.

Also, if you are talking about Bryce de Byram from Atlantia, then he has never served as king.

Hm. I didn't even reconize the helm. I was just a third party dealer anyway. Both of those folks were in Sir William's list that I monitored as well. It was a fun (if frustrating) tourney to watch!

Leave the SCA better than you found it. Fight alot of cool people along the way.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
