Me and about half my clan rolled in about an hour before dark Friday, having had trailer issues and delaying our departure. I'm proud to say that inside of 20 minutes we had the 16ft ger up and one of the nine footers started. Within an hour of that we had both 9 foot gers, the Tschum and the ez up put together and liveable.
The next day I awoke to rain. Big deal. It's war practice. It's GONNA rain.
So I get up and start to put my shit on when I see that the wenches already have breakfast on and they're already burning me some bacon. I likes it crispy. Flaccid bacon is just gross.
So I get a cup of coffe the way I like it handed to me as I sit down in the common area. Followed shortly by crispy bacon and fried potatoes the way I like them.
Did I mention these wenches are GOOD?
Anyway, we get padded up and head down to the field. I got a brand new guy that needs to authorize and a wench for a CA auth too. Thanks to my friends of many years Kadan and Aeleric for doing the fight with us. We needed someone to fight my guy so I volunteered. Might as well, I'm standing right there. Everything is fine. My guy has studied up and knows the answers. So, we spar a bit. No worries, he's calling out where I'm hitting him, he pegged me, so he showed he could swing. Then they said do this one for real.
Ok, I fired for his left thigh, forgetting for that moment that he's a lefty.
Yup.
Right in the dick.
Broke his cup too, but I SWEAR I wasnt swinging that hard! Must be the 'having a healthy shoulder for a change' thing.
Anyway, he passed and was jazzed as hell to get out and fight, thanks again guys.
My new wench passes her test too and sure enough was the only combat archer on our side all day. So if you Aethelmarc guys got pegged with an arrow this weekend, that was a Weretiger wench named Kayah. She did real well.
The fighting was real clean as far as I was concerned. I didnt have to say anything to anyone about blows, it was real stout, but I kinda like it that way.
I'll let others chime on on the overall outcomes. I was just happy to be on my feet in armor standing among men.
That evening we had the pleasure of the company of Nissan and Grettr from Clovenshield. We sat in the tschum and visited and had a real good time.
I of course, had just taken a flexeril so I was higher than giraffe pussy but I still managed to enjoy my evening. Hope they did too. They were honored guests.
This morning I wake up and half our camp is already down and in the trailer. I get up and start getting the big ger down and next thing I know we're visiting with Straum and Bjarki. Gee fellas, next time show up when we got tents up and seats out! We'll treat you better, I promise!
Safe trip home and a great event. If you missed it you suck
In a painful and humbling kinda way.
