[Western] Bonwicke's Twelfth Night

[larkinokane at cox.net]

Hah!  I seem to remember some of that tourney....  The elephant fought with great sword (and made a horrible noise even though he had no trunk). Other weapons styles were used by differeing animals... i forget which used 
1) single sword
2) florentine
3) dagger only
4) sword and board
but as I recall it was one  GRAND TOURNEY!!!
