To darken the skies with Ansteorran arrows at Gulf War, someone must first
make them.

>Lord Ulrich comes out upon the field with his opponent Sir Donner. When
>the heralds cry "Acknowledge the consort's favor you bear" they both
>turn to Sir Donner's lady, Mistress Gerdis. Sir Donner is puzzled
>enough that he takes a moment to talk to Lord Ulrich. "My lord, why bow
>to she who is _my_ lady?" "Ah," replies Ulrich,"but who can say whose
>she will be when this fight is fought? My lord, I do but honor your
>lady who inspires me to do my best for her honor and entertainment."
>
>Sir Donner is impressed by this speech and lets Ulrich know that
>whatever the outcome, Ulrich is invited to his camp and be entertained
>by Sir Donner this evening. Lord Ulrich accepts with a smile. And
>lay-on is called...
>
>Meanwhile Lady Igraine is not having the most satisfying time of her
>life. She had thought that being under Sir Ehrlich's pavillion would be
>wonderful and although she has had her fill of sweets and drink, she is
>quite bored. Sir Ehrlich spends all of his time with his buddies and
>doesn't come near the pavillion, and she is quite alone otherwise.
>However, she has hope; a lady combatant named Vanessa de Gascon. She is
>quick and light on her feet. Igraine watches the fight intently, hoping
>that she might be "set free". As the blow falls, she nearly cries aloud
>with joy - The lady has won!
>
>Tears almost blind Igraine's eyes as the Lady Combatant strides forth
>and kneels at her feet. "My lady, I come to escort you to my pavillion.
>All I can do to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable I shall
>endeavor to do." "And I," said Lady Igraine, "shall endeavor to compose
>a song to delight your ears and those who also attend you. I have been
>a prisoner and now I am set free. I am delighted to be your 'ransom'."
>And they set off to sit under the little pavillion already adorned with
>the Lady Combatant's Consort.
