[Bordermarch] BAM

[justinw at dreammakersetx.com]

Ok folks., BAM was wet and nasty but I shall tell of my experience of
the time I was there.

I got there in time to unload my vehicle, get dressed and report to gate
for my shift. I was informed that I would NOT be the one taking the
cash..I was almost hurt, BUT then I realized that I would not be
responsible for it if I had nothing to do with it. SO Sewallis Seward de
Shirley , my First Mate, was assigned that position. I was left to visit
with those coming in and visit with the lovely Karen. Although she
stills owes me a name to a story she shared with me. I was present when
His Majesty arrived and was able to speak with him and welcome him to
the Barony of Bordermarch.

After my gate shift, I shared spirits with many people around a nice
fire.  My lady and I retired to fight for comfort with only one sleeping
bag. Although I was able to hold my lady tight, room to move was
extremely limited. We awoke to a very cold and wet morning and a tent
with a few leaks. Someone kicked one of our tents stakes loose during
the night and water entered and soaked a pillow and a cloak..

I made a few rounds in the rain and was honored when the Baron himself
asked me to notify the Barony's guest that court would begin at 10am. I
then walked the site telling all the news. I picked up a couple of
helpers along the way that assisted me during my trek. 

After court,the rain stopped and the fighting began. Due to an injury I
was unable to fight but was pleased to be allowed to marshal the rapier
fighters castle battles. After to battles the rain returned. 

I returned to my camp to find all 3 of my demons....children soaked to
the bone and all miserable. I knew that I needed to take my leave and
get them to warmer and drier conditions. I said my goodbyes and was then
told I would not be able to leave just yet. I began packing up and was
told I needed report to the Royal Pavilion by the battle field. When I
arrived, Her Majesties court was called to session and I was ordered to
appear before the court. I think I did was was expected since the
Queen's Champion didn't kill me. I was given an AoA. My eyes almost
began to leak or was that the rain? We shall never know.

After court we loaded up and headed home. I didn't realize how wet I
truly was. My boots were holding water and I still have water coming out
of my ears.

I had a wonderful time. I hope that all those that attened enjoyed it as
well.
