[Hellsgate] Who's going

[Erwin Simmons]

Unto the gentles of Hellsgate, does Lord Eric Bentbow send greetings. 
Queen's Champion was an amazing event. Wish more of you could have made 
it out. Friday night we battled the elements with a rain storm that can 
best be described as a deluge.  Luckily it did not start until our camp 
was well set-up. We did have to move our kitchen and social area when 
the ground turned to 3 inches of mud and muck. Saturday morning found us 
dry and warm with perfect weather. The Rapier Tourney was fantastic, at 
lunch we were treated to jousting. Beautiful horses and kit, great fun 
to watch. Milord Cataldo won the Queen's Choice A&S prize for his 
forge/iron work. Vivat! Cataldo. Mistress Melisinda once again amazed 
and treated with her foods. Which we as lowly creatures got to sample 
some before and after the luncheon.
A bittersweet ending, leaving Castleton for the very last time. It is 
such a wonderful, peaceful site it is a shame to lose it.

On to new things. Who from Hellsgate is going to Steppes Warlord? We 
have just two weeks before the event.  Keep in mind this is our maximum 
participation camping event, so please speak up and be counted, so plans 
for camp size and food can be made.

In Service
