[Ansteorra-announce] Bryn Gwlad Baronial Hunt and Harvest Faire in Two Weeks!

[Sean Hertzberg]

 Greetings Ansteorra!

In two weeks, the Barony of Bryn Gwlad will be having its Fall Baronial Hunt
and Harvest Faire.  Come, join with us in celebration of the bounty of our
great Barony and the last hunt of the season!  His Excellency will be
holding two tournaments, one to select the Champion of the Bow and then the
second to find the new Baronial Champion of the Sword.  See below for the
rules of the Chivalric List.

But as this is Bryn Gwlad, we have something special planned!

Both Championships will have their final rounds decided on the stage of the
Curtain Theatre during Court!

That evening, partake of the feast being prepared by Master Pug.  All day,
the smells of the kitchen will be drifting across the field as his staff
cooks a variety of game over an open fire.

We will also be having youth boffer, a unicorn hunt Sunday morning, and a
heraldic scavenger hunt.  There is fun for all!

Come one, come all for the wonderful display of honor and chivalry.  We open
our arms to the Kingdom and hope all will join us for this truly wonderful
day.

For more information, see the website at

See you all there!

Ready to have a lot of fun and test your tournament skills in a new way?
Come out to Bryn Gwlad Baronial Hunt where armored combat will have center
stage.  Literally.

Interested?  Then read on.  Forewarned is forearmed.

The tournament will begin after lunch with each of the combatants presenting
themselves to his most excellent Excellency, Thomas.  Use heralds and
showmanship to entertain the crowd.

Each fighter will be assigned to one of two groups, gold or silver.  Each
fighter will also be given five cards, one for each weapons style to be
used: sword and buckler (or shield), great weapon/polearm, two single-handed
weapons, single-handed mass weapon, and spear.  Loaner weapons will be
provided.

Pairings will made matching silver against gold.  As the pairings are
announced for the first round the gold fighter will play a card declaring
their weapons choice.  The silver fighter will then play a card declaring
what weapon they will bring.  Each card may only be used once by a fighter.
Which side goes first will alternate each round.

In the fifth round, fighters will only have one card left and must fight
that style against the style left to their opponents.

Finalist rounds after the fifth may be used to narrow the field to four
fighters.

The final four fighters will fight barrier fights on stage during evening
court. Weapons forms for the finals will be great weapons, polearm, or
single sword, at the Baron's discretion.

How cool is that?!  Fighting on a real stage in the presence of the nobles
and the whole assembled populace.

Don't miss the being in the tourney that everyone will be talking about.
Come join us.
