[MR] Return to Troy fighting info

[Logan]

just a quick note to add to lord phillips missive.

we need to have teams onsite to sign in early!  we will assemble downtown
(not too far away so dont worry) at 10am to begin the bearpit.  remember,
teams are limited to 5 fighters (and one archer where applicable) but can be
fewer.  so if your other two guys arent there in time, dont sweat it!

the bear pits will last 45 minutes each and are wounds retained.  the heavy
fighters will go first and once they are done we will shuttle back to the
site to begin the remainder of the scenarios.

there are two separate competitions.  one for the overall winning team, and
one for the highest placing baronial team.  for a team to be a baronial team
it simply must carry their home baronys name.   each barony may sponsor
multiple teams in both heavy and rapier.

also, please do let the autocrat know if you are planning on eating the
catered bbq so that we can warn them ahead of time with some realistic
numbers.

I hope many of you are coming down for this event. We have a grand time
planned.


Return To Troy will feature several elaborate sets, including a motte
and bailey, tavern and storehouse to storm. We guarantee your fill of
fighting! Both heavy and light will use the sets, with archers
participating as permitted. Teams will be comprised of 5 fighters with
no more than 3 shields.

The day's activities will start with a team bear pit tourney fought in
the streets of downtown Elkin. This portion of the event is a demo for
downtown Elkin.  Teams must participate in the demo-portion of the
fighting to be included in the other fighting scenarios.  Combat archers
will not be participating in the bear pit.  After the bear pit, fighters
will be shuttled back to site to begin a tavern battle, raiding the
storehouse, fighting through more redoubts, ending up at the motte and
bailey.

On Saturday evening the pool is reserved for us from 5-9, so bring a
suit!

music pieces, but more are welcomed.
