[Steppes] Fighter Practice today (2.29.04)

[ironwyrm@juno.com]

Actually, I belive the count was 7 combat archers, but the 
most that were on field at one time was about 5, one heavy 
archer remained as a sword & board all day.  Two of them 
were new combat archers, and one of those was her first 
time on the field.  All did well at close in and taking advantage 
of every gap & opening in the shields.  If an opening was 
exposed an combat arrow or bolt followed. 

On the lighter side, I was very amused with Lord Alvin's ability 
to dodge and outrun pursuing fighters.  He gave a most 
impressive display of "Archer, rabbit is thy middle name!".

All and all a good site, wonderful hosts, a great day!  Many 
thanks to Pat, Ronnie, and all the good the folk of Black Oak 
Keep for making it possible!

YIS,

Ironwyrm
