[Artemisia] Woh's your shrimp bait

[BECKY LEISHMAN]

Unless my calendar and these aged eyes deceive me (which they are known to do) 

As of today, March 17, this event full of demon decapods, mighty warriors and magical mutant lobster Pinatas of death is actually 1 week and a few hours away.  

To allow ample time for the arrival of payments, please mail all prepaid reservations no later than Sunday, March 19.  For those who wish to pay in person, your ever faithful exchequer will be at fighter practice on Wednesday March 22, receiving payment from 7 - 8:30 pm.   Those who wish may also drop payments off at my home (address on the announcement in the Sage). 

For those who would like to feast but have not paid, in order to adequately prepare we do need a head count, if you are fairly certain you will be attending this event and wish to partake of this fabulous menu, please contact me directly (off list) with the names and ages (if children) of the persons who will be in your party and we will add you to a pending list.  Those unpaid reservations not claimed by 3 pm will go up for sale. 

As always, thank you to those who have already made reservations, and I do hope to see you at this event. 

Enjoy
Bethoc, 
evil exchequer, Barony of Loch Salann

  Greetings good gentles,
  Just a little update on Lochs Salann Defenders.
  Just two weeks away on the 25 of March is LochSalann's Defenders Tourney. We've got a lot planned and were hoping that you can whilst inspired by your lady (or lord) shrimp bait join us in driving that devious demon decapod that slack jawed saline swiller the great brine shrimp if Loch Salann. Show us who's inspiration, who's shrimp bait is the most beauteous the most inspiring the most delectable in these lands. Let your inspiration shine above all others and spur you on to greatness above all others.
  As tradition has it Defends tourney is a two part tourney the first is a melee, in the past we've held snowball tournies and reverse snowball tourneys, this time were holding a ransom tourney. Each entrant will receive five coins when they are introduced to the gallery, each time they are defeated in battle they will give up one of those coins for their ransom. The fighter with the most coins at the end of the tourney will be the second place winner and receive a fabulous prize! Ladies of the Gallery will be looking for specific feats of Bravery, Gallantry, Leadership and Honor for which they will be giving just rewards and determining the Champion of the tourney. We will then turn to the list field to witness a single elimination tourney. Depending on how the list goes our Defender of Loch Salann will be determined this day.
  The rapier tourneys will be a lot of fun, I understand that there is quite a few interesting bouts planned that are, as of now, a secret to me.
  There was an archery tourney that was mentioned, unfortunately we were not able to get a variance from the city and so the tourney will have to be delayed until Melee Madness at which time we will determine our Archery Defender.
  The feast sounds fantastic, it's being prepared by Lady Hildegard with the help of the Loch Salann Cooks Guild noteably Mistress Casamira and Lady Constance. Please get your feast reservations in as soon as possible.
