[MR] Treasures on the Tides!!!

[Danielle Scott]

It is the year 1587; many of the Crowns of Europe are busily squabbling over an island nation and its single Queen leaving Atlantia the rest of the oceans free for the taking! The Barony of Bright Hills sends out a call to all in the land for crews to take up their oars on this mighty quest in gathering the treasures of Atlantia on the tides for the Crown. Many of the treasures are being guarded by the most fierce, intelligent and cunning of characters including a Sea Stag, Kraken, Sirens of the Pearl, the Coral keeper, A Golden Dolphin and many others. (I have heard rumor that some may have a challenge for the crews others a questions and some may even be able to be bribed.)
This event will have a quest with crews of fighters one heavy and one light, an archer, an artisan, at least one child, and one newcomer if possible. Crews shall have to hunt for the various Kingdom level awards and complete a task, questions or a puzzle for a token to be used at the end to determine the winners.  Along with the quest competitions, we will hold challenges to help determine the Barony of Bright Hills newest champions, information on the competitions will be posted at a later date. A lunch will be included on Saturday, included in the event fee and for those inclined a feast will be provided by Their Ladyships Órlaith Carey and Tirzah MacCrudden. There will also be a children’s Halloween party held during feast. We encourage all parents to bring their child and allow them to dress up in their costumes and all adults to bring treats for the children to collect in the hall that evening. On Friday night there will be a spaghetti dinner and Saturday morning a continental breakfast for a suggested donation of $2.00 each per person.
Martial Activities: 
We will have competitions through the quest for both heavy and light weapons classes. We will also hold competitions to determine the new heavy, light and archery champions of Bright Hills.
Arts & Sciences Activities:

The project must be able to be picked up with one hand, and can be in any form, such as cross stitch, corded, quilting, appliqué, painting, wood burning, embossed metal, stained glass, small mosaics, smocking, embroidery, weaving, etc.  Minimal documentation is required.  You may use standard knot tying books such as the BSA handbook or books from Dover Books.  For more information, contact Lord Denis de Dijon.  301-946-0477
