If you folks have already checked with "higher authority" and determined that 
this prize is perfectly acceptable, good for you and please ignore the 
following-

I must join Honored Lady Bethoc in cautioning the Castle Seige staff/Silverkeep 
officers to tread very carefully here.  I *strongly* urge you to check with Dame 
Thea and/or the Artemisian Ombudsman on the BoD to determine how this should/can 
be done.  Bear in mind that Montana has *very* strict "gambling without a 
license" laws (not saying this is gambling, but it might be considered as such 
by MT authorities).  Perhaps a "gift certificate" to the winner's choice of 
stores would be a better way to give this prize.  Just a thought.
