The Summer Faire

In attendence:-
Please reply in this thread if ye attended many thanks. Folk were in and out all the time, unable to keep track of attendees.

*Axiana holds her head in her hands. The day had begun with a thumping headache and had ended with one, how had it come to be?*

I had been in Cove town, near the bank when I saw him. In an instant, the memory of why I was even there, had gone. His thinning grey hair looked like silver in the moonlight and moved with the light breeze. His face was half masked in darkness. I stood their watching.

"Ullo Lass". He was looking at me now. I've never been caught ogling at anyone before, and initially looked about for anywhere else to be. I was embarrased, to say the least, but recovered myself quickly and began to walk towards him. As I approached, I could see items littered upon the ground. "What are you doing here?", I asked. His answer was evasive. Another question led me to discover that the Baron had recently been in the area and discarded unrequired items! To think, our Baron, is a litter bug?!

One item there caught my eye in particular... I'd recognise that design and the colouring on the label anywhere! A rare vintage wine, no longer obtainable... 'Rose d' Cove'. The idea of saving it for later had occured to me, but there was no point in drinking it alone, and I didn't! It did not taste quite as well as I had remembered. One glass led to another and well... I don't remember much after a number of glasses. I awoke late the next day with a thumping headache.

I had thought that my headache would clear by the time church mass started, but alas it was not to be in this case, and Sir Hugo's voice reverbarated through my head for the duration. The consequences for not attending, I imagined, would be far worse. I won't deny though, that the Cathedral was a sight to behold, and took my mind off my discomfort for a while.

After mass it was not long before our good folk descended upon memorial square, including the Baron himself! Who I was inwardly cursing for leaving behind a bottle of headbanging wine near the bank.

I was most thankful for those that were able to help. Yukina Kazami provided the food and beverage for the occasion, but from what I understand there was an incident of food poisoning? how unfortunate. Sarah Keres, a fine blacksmith, was able to assist at short notice, since Dalla was taken ill. Leso Varen took a stall reading palms and telling fortunes apparently, whilst Ilyana performed various tricks to entertain our attendees. Carolin Argon assisted me with ticket selling and the archery game. Saerandir took charge of the large roasting boar on the spit. Khae offered a service involving leather, I believe? and the Baron's Adjutant, Shadwell made a fine announcer for the Joust.

It is true that I was knocked from my horse and was unconscious during the rehearsal for the jousting show. So because of this I had added extra padding inside my armor but especially to the helmet. What can I say! I must be a glutton for punishment. Since having been knocked from my horse twice by our Liege. I now feel and look like I have been battered by the Vesperian Horde, not very lady like at all (examines various bruises over her body from the joust). I'm lucky to be alive! But above all I have another headache.

There was no time to draw the winner of the raffle, that eve, a battle was about to begin. I will call upon the Captain at a later date to draw the winning raffle tickets (assuming he survives that is), and announce the winners in due course.
