[Ponte Alto] Night on the Town- this weekend

[Sarah Toich]

Night on the Town X
April 11-13, 2008
Barony of Lochmere

The beginning of a bright, spring day where the sun shines down on Smeewick
is abruptly disturbed by the sounds of fighting. The once quiet town is
being filled with the noise between two households with their fighting. The
constant bickering has boiled over from mere words, to swords between the
two households. Through the upcoming weeks both sides will be spreading
words to their members to bolster their houses. So pay heed to the
messengers that may come or to those that the may receive letters, for your
household may be calling. Arm yourself to prepare for the battle ahead.

Martial Activities: Welcome to Atlantia¹s premiere rapier event. Rapier at
Night on the Town X will be a day of melees. You will be a part of the
internal fighting between two guild houses in the town of Smeewick and the
surrounding area. All fighting will be heavy rapier, with combat archery for
certain pre-set scenarios. Because of the open nature of the fighting, no
combat archery will occur outside of these scenarios. Authorizations are at
9am.

Arts & Sciences: Teachers in the arts will be present to show interested
citizens about their craft. This is a wonderful chance to "try it before you
buy it." Various arts and sciences will be available during the day to
sample, instructions how to do them, and enjoy them. Note that there is no
fee associated with participation in this activity. There is no set schedule
for the A&S displays/demos/classes.
If you have any questions, please contact Master Corun MacAnndra at
