[MR] [CoS] A Challenge

[dldred at verizon.net]

I am coordinating a scroll blank contest for promissories - specifically Greek/Roman style for this reign.  I will gladly be point and coordinate for this challenge as well.  I will be at the event (you will have to see me as you arrive on site as I am the head Troll...).

I will forward this challenge and information on to our Autocrat to ensure space.

For all those who can bring or send blanks of any to the pre-Pennsic
Storvik event, there will be a prize for the best of each variety. 
There will also be a prize for the scriptorium that produces the
most...  Remember Shark's Teeth for Pennsic!  Typically at least 15 get
gived out at the War, according to my ninjas!

Graidhne

(Anyone up in Storvik I can coordinate this with?)
