[Archers] Midnight at the Oasis

[April Riley]

"Hear ye, hear ye, attention all archers in the land.  

Come to Midnight at the Oasis to help Shayk Al-Hamidi bint Sakr. 

There is a rumor that the villagers are in danger from deadly cobras. Some
evil infidel has replaced the snake charmers pet cobras with the most deadly
spitting cobras (they learned it from the camels).  We must protect the
villagers and snake charmer and kill them before they get loose.  So grab
your bows and let's go hunting."

 

If loaner equipment is needed please email me so I know how much to bring,
also if there are any questions about the shoot or offers to help (I like
help), please email me at ariley2 at nc.rr.com. I would like to have a second
range open and am looking for someone to run it.  

A parent or guardian (over the age of 18) must be present for children under
the age of 15 to shoot.

 

In service,

Midnight at the Oasis II
September 18-20, 2009
Canton of Nimenefeld

  _____  

Night has fallen over the Chastellet of Jacobs Ford, still under
construction. The camels of Mamluks bray in the warm August air of the River
Jordan. There is a festive air in the Castle as the seemingly impregnable
ramparts are nearly complete. A great feast and much strong drink have been
gathered to celebrate the leper king's defiance of the Muslim heathens in
their attempts to retake Jerusalem. Over the sound of the beating drums,
Regnier de Maron can be heard boasting that just four months earlier he had
single-handedly forced the great Muslim army to retreat from the banks of
the river with just one well-placed arrow into their generals chest.
Inebriated by food, drink, and good company, no one knows that just on the
other side of the Bnot Yaakov Bridge the tents of Saladin's Army mass to
begin the siege. In the meantime . . . Join us for the feast, the merry
making, the spitting camel contest. Listen to the call of the east.
