[Artemisia] Rapier Fighting at Grand Outlandish - Kingdom of the Outlands

[Marlee M]

I hope you're keeping your equipment in good repair,
because at Grand 
Outlandish, there will be no shortage of fun
tournaments to showcase your skill 
and honor!

Bring yourselves, your gear, and lots of energy,
because for those who wield the 
rapier, there will be fun from beginning to end.  Here
is what you can expect to 
see...

Friday:

10:00 AM: Bottle Tournament: It's Outlandish and it's
time to party!
What better way to acquire large amounts of liquid
courage than to
take it from everyone else? To enter, each entrant
must provide a
bottle of something appropriate for a wet site. The
winner will
receive all the bottles, and may be asked to provide
them for one of
the parties. The marshal in charge will decide the
conventions of the
list. Each entrant must be at least 21 years old to
compete. If the
entrant is underage, a parent or legal guardian must
be present to
sponsor the him/her, and take possession of all prize
bottles if
victorious.

2:00 PM: Law and Order Tournament: Someone had the
bright idea of
outlawing dueling
so killing someone in a duel is now
considered
murder. So, to avoid the gallows, the object is to
wound the
opponent. If you kill your opponent, you will be
arrested for murder,
and the hanging tree awaits!  Each fight will be timed
for one minute. 
If there is no wound in that time, two constables will
take to the field to slay 
the
combatants. If both combatants are then killed, they
both lose the
round. If one survives, he or she is the winner. If
both survive the
attack by the constables, they continue fighting with
no time limit,
and kills will be legal. After all, no one is there to
arrest or execute 
them anymore, right?


Saturday:

10:30 AM: Pirate Tournament: It simply wouldn't be
Outlandish without
a desperate fight to the death on the deck of the
notorious Barking
Spider! The pirates will be hosting their usual
blood-on-the-planks
tournament in their camp. Expect the unexpected,
prepare for a fight
with no mercy, and remember, beware of flying sea
pancakes! The list
opens at 10:30 AM, with the fighting beginning at
11:00 AM. Death,
blood, mayhem, and smack-talking will commence soon
after.

2:00 PM: Outlandish Blade Tournament: It will be once
again time to
determine who will hold this honored position and take
their place as
part of the Court of the Baron and Baroness of
al-Barran. The
outgoing Outlandish Blade will decide the conventions
of the list.

Sunday:

10:00 AM: Citadel Speed List: A speed tournament the
specifics of
which will be at the whim of the Barony of Citadel of
the Southern
Pass. Bring your energy reserves, because this one
will test you like
you wouldn't believe.

2:00PM: Three-Man Melees: Three-person teams duke it
out on the list
field. Please, if at all possible, have your teams
assembled when you
get to the list field. This will be an open-field
three-on-three, all
the way to the last team standing.

If this sounds like fun, it's because it will be. 
Grand Outlandish awaits!
