[MR] Howl IV Update

[Adeliza of Bristol]

Please feel free to share this far and wide so everyone will know all the fun we 
plan to have!

Ourtraditional Zombie Tourney will be offered for the fiendish delight of the 
armored, duelists and spectators alike. Additional fighting formats will be 
included for the survivors and undead alike as time allows. A terrifying target 
archery shoot is planned for those who wish to practice their vampire 
vanquishing skills.

If you missed it last year, think of it as a reverse warlord tourney of a sort, 
with a castle. The participants are divided into two teams. One team is the 
Zombies (attackers); the other is the Townsfolk (defenders). The rules are as 
follows:
1. Zombies cannot be killed except by three telling blows to the head. However, 
all other incapacitating blows (legs, arms) are retained.
2. Zombies can only fight with one arm with a one-handed weapon
3. Zombies must mutter "BRAINSSSSSS" at random intervals
4. Townsfolk may use weapons of choice
5. Immediately upon “death,” all Townsfolk must resurrect as a Zombie, using the 
aforementioned Zombie conventions of combat.
Last man standing is the winner!

There will be multiple A&S competitions for all to enjoy and enter. Categories 
will include Subtleties (documentation required); Best Story of Sweet Revenge; a 
scroll blank competition with all entries being donated to the Barony; and Best 
Use of Fall Foliage in Period Fashion. An open display area will also be 
available for those who would like to share their talent but not compete. 


Seasonal games, parties and treats will abound for all ages to take part in and 
enjoy! Bring a modern Halloween costume on Friday night and join in the fun of a 
modern supernatural soiree! Their Majesties’ nautical guild, The Corsairium, 
will provide freaky fun and ghoulish games to challenge those seeking treats on 
Saturday. That evening, gather for a period party to fool the Darkness itself. 
How would your persona have died in period? Drowning, hanging, disease and war, 
just to name a few, provided so many wicked ways to die, so get creative with 
your persona’s end as we gather for a period post-mortem party. Additional 
competitions for phantasmal fun and devilish delight will be had throughout the 
weekend as well.

Reserve now!
