"I've heard people say that
Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
Oh no
But I don't know about that
There's many times that we've loved
We've shared love and made love
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough
There's just not enough of it
There's just not enough
Oh oh, babe
My darling I, can't get enough of your love babe"

I'm huggin my champion and telling how proud I am of him for going to the finals of the most pretigous tourney in the Kingdom. Don't be a Douche.

Don't deny your man-love.

Just kidding. Brother amos, is awesome times ten. And he tent pegs people with his cruicifix pole weapon, so I'll shut up now.

And our other resident monk, Brother Augustine, has mastered an arcane fighting technique referred to in ancient tomes as the "Monk Junk Punch".

Atlantia, it seems, is developing our own order of militant monks.

Skorri, those are some great shots. What did you shoot them with?

You asked for it....

A camera....

Great pics Skorri. Thanks for all the lens time!

Corby, did you know that when you buy something from SM, a very small portion of the proceeds is returned to the artist? They don't really make much, but they can get their SM fees paid for, or offset the expense of publishing.

I suggest the coffee mugs, one for each member of your house who is lucky enough to be captured by Skorris, Ursus, or another SmugMug artist.

Falcone

Nice work, Skorri.

Excellent event. Thanks to all who took part and even more importantly, those who ran it.

As usual, I took way too many pictures and I'm working hard on them. I hope to upload a bunch this weekend. I'll post here when I do.

Ursus

Thanks for all the compliments. I have a Canon Rebel XT. The sun cooperated at the event, that along with a very nice zoom lens helped me out quite a bit.

Looked like fun. Wish I could have been there.

Sorry BdeB and Brother Amos....I thought this was Baron Alejandro's caption thread. Didn't mean any offense.

Amos made it to the finals of Sapphire? Awesome!!!

Can't say that I'm at all surprised given our fights in the finals of Storvik Unbelted last year and how he was smiting me with that Holy Hammer of his in melees recently (like at Tournament of Love and Beauty...)!

Wish I could've been there (though Dad's 70th, naturally had to take precedence)... Congrats, Amos!!!

Max Von Halstern

Just about his coolest move was during the St. Aiden Tourney.

He was mixing it up at close quarters with his hammer, and managed to draw his sword and smite his opponent with a left-handed reverse-grip blow.

By reverse grip I mean that he was holding the sword in a grip like a dagger, with the blade downward (i.e., extending from the pinkie side rather than the index-finger side of his hand).

The semi's were:
Sir Brian of Sacred Stone (Damuth) vs. Sir William Thomas
Sir Corby de la Flamme vs. Brother Amos the Pious

Sir Brian faced Brother Amos in the finals, with the victory going to Sir Brian who recieved the Ruby Prize for his efforts.

Sir Corby was awarded the Sapphire Chivalry Prize.

In the rapier list Lord Domynik faced Lord Dante. Lord Domynik who had just that morning received his White Scarf, defeated Lord Dante.

Baron Jean Claude of Tir-Y-Don recieved the Sapphire Rapier Prize.

Other tourney results:
Novice Tourney: Wilhem of Blud (from Nothinghill Coill I believe) who defeated Brother Augustine in the finals.
Rose Tourney: Sir Brian and Lord Felix of Kappennberg tied for points.
St. Aiden Mellee: Caer Mear. (woot!)

As the recipient of said blow, yes, yes it was very cool. He had tied up my spear, so I dropped it and was wresting his pole-cross from him when he drew it and smote me mightily. It was brilliant and goes on my list as one of my favorite fights, even though I was the "other guy" in his highlight reel that day.

Amen!

He would make a good knight, IMO.

Oh Yeah! Baron Bryce de Byram of Caer Maer (the hosting Barony).

And a good time was had by all.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Sir William Thomas versus Jonathon Blackbow.

Ursus

Sir William and Blackbow are fighting in that picture?

All I see is Dante's spiffy new blue and gold dayshade, and the two cool benches he built.

You can't see the little guy with the sling and five smooth stones?

Falcone

It was very spiffy in deed, Dante...

Finally finished uploading Sunday's pics from this event: http://www.bogpages.com/gallery/8465566_oRBgA#556509879_mpkP7

Sir Theron in an awkward position. Not sure who is hitting him.

Thanks to all of Atlantia for putting on a great show at this event.

Hope you like them.

I went to Highland River Melees today. Very nice event. I will have those pictures up in about a week...

Being hit by Sir Falcone is like being struck by the righteousness of the Almighty. I miss fighter practices with him.

Hmmm...

Such good pictures! Thanks for them.
