Geraldine, CommonerOnce we had gathered in Cove town, we set off to Yew. The journey there, to my relief, was uneventful. Upon arrival in Stonekeep, we were greeted by Kros Vandor, the present governor of Yew and host of the evening. He had taken a prodigious amount of care in setting up everything ready for the joust as we had discussed, and had also made food and drinks available to any who cared for them. To my glee, the weather remained dry throughout the evening *remembers back to her previous visit to Yew*!The Lists!
Once I was seated (Mordred at my side) with quill and parchment in hand, I began the arduous task of taking down the names, ranks and deeds of those wishing to participate.What should happen then? The usual drama! An implacable, resentful and dishonorably discharged member of the Yewish army turned up in an attempt to disrupt the entire event! He had managed to drag almost un-liftable rotting animal carcasses into the centre of the jousting area. As if this was not eventful enough, a white boned knight, risen from the graveyard, wandered into Stonekeep (Where is the security in Yew, I ask thee?). I remember the noise of the white-boned abomination as it let out a blood curdling scream, it's bones clattered as it was finally dispatched. However, it had not been dealt with swiftly enough, and had caused injury to the Governor of Yew (Thankfully it was but minor).The Joust!
Following the removal of the dead animal carcasses, the joust was finally to commence. Mordred called forth from the lists the first two contenders:-Leanne Melior v's Rimeny de Blaze (V) - Winner! Rimeny de Blaze
The second contenders to be called:-Hoagie Grayner v's Fritz Segur - Winner! Fritz Segur
I believe that as a result of his defeat, and possibly due to the effects of alcohol, Mr Grayner did decide to remove the entirety of his attire in front of the audience! I will not post the pictures of this most inappropriate event here!
Third contenders to be called:- Gimbly the bald v's Art Ibmab (Grd) - Due to a wound re-opening as Art attempted to mount his horse he was unable to continue.
Phil Lynx (Grd) decided to take his place.
Gimbly the bald v's Phil Lynx - Winner! Gimbly
Second and last round:-Fritz Segur v's Rimeny de Blaze - Winner! Fritz Segur
Then:-Fritz Segur v's Gimbly the bald - Winner! Gimbly
Second prize awarded to Fritz Segur:- An engraved Lance!
First prize awarded to Gimbly the bald:- An engraved Golden Lance!
