If it is raining in Santa Cruz, the event will *not* happen as the location is all grass. As of now the event is still on, but we've been having torrential downpours all evening and night. Be prepared for mud, wetness, and other wise imperfect fighting conditions. Weather permitting, we'd love to have you, as St David's is flourishing! And in case you miss this event or rain keeps everyone away, we will have our annual Winter Feast in January!

For those of you still undecided about your weekend plans, the War of Southern Aggression is shaping up to be a great deal of fun; and we poor defenseless folk in Koenigstadt are really hoping lots of you will come out and rally to our cause--the cause of WAR!!! **Please bring water to contribute to the waterbearers. Please be prepared to pack out your trash.** Here's a sneak peek at what you have to look forward to: 1. YOU WILL BE FED. The incomparably lovely Lady Muirgheal nic Cord will be running a soup kitchen during the day on Saturday; and the cost is already included in your site fee. 2. YOU WILL BE COMPENSATED. Mercenary pay in the form of cookies are cooling on my counter as I write this. There is a *rumor* that a private donor may bring a keg of frosty beverage to share with attendees over 21; but that is unconfirmed and certainly entirely unconnected to anyone responsible for this War. 3. THERE WILL BE LOTS OF FIGHTING. Planned scenarios include but are not limited to: - Capture the Baron battle - Beach/Cliff Battle - Three-Wave Castle Battle - Getaway or Loot Battle (Woods) - Capture the Flag Battle (Woods) - Meatgrinder Bridge Battle Missile combat and thrown-weapons combat will be welcome in almost every scenario. This will *not* be an Alden-style war, but neither will it be hours of hurry-up-and-wait. Baron Erick and Baron Achmere both want lots of fighting and fun for everyone. 4. THERE WILL BE CAMPING. Fires will be allowed; and it's not supposed to rain (as of this morning, Saturday's forecast was "sunny." Weather will be in the 40s at night; so wear layers. 5. THERE WILL BE BARBECUING. For those of you staying Saturday night; please join Baron Erick and Baroness Liesl for a BYO-Meat Barbecue and Potluck on the battlefield. 6. THERE WILL BE PARTY. Hey, this is Darkwood, after all. **Please bring water to contribute to the waterbearers. Please be prepared to pack out your trash.** .................................

From kat at mbay.net Mon Nov 24 18:50:29 2003 From: kat at mbay.net (kat@mbay.net) Date: Mon Nov 24 10:50:31 2003 Subject: [Darkwood-SCA] Darkwood/Tarnmist War -- Thank you! Message-ID: <200311241850.hAOIoSHp004890@otter.mbay.net> I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who came out and played with us over the weekend. We had quite a good crowd for a war so late in the season; lots of fighters, varied scenarios and ideal fighting weather--sunny and cool. I especially wanted to thank all the people who worked so hard to make this event such a success. First, many thanks to Muirgheal nic Cord and Na'Arah bat Avraham for keeping everybody fed--and well; to Hraefn and Caterina for their help with everything from signs to setup and teardown to hauling out the trash; to Baron Erick and Baroness Liesl for the wonderful barbecue and the great party Saturday night; to Rhys, my M-I-C, and Eric Bjornsson, who designed the scenarios; to Christophe for filling in wherever he was needed; to all the waterbearers and support staff... I could go on and on, but this email would get way too long. It is always a great joy to host an event like this; and it was even more of a pleasure to see how much fun people were having. I'm sorry to say there was not *quite* enough fighting for His Highness of the Mists; but we did the best we could with the limited amount of daylight available. ;) Sorry to say, the war was a tie; so looks like we'll have to do it all over again next year! :) Thanks again, everyone! - kat (Caitlin O'Byrne, Koenigstadt seneschalthingy)
