Our small band of adventurers consisted of Me (your ever truthfull
narrator aka morrddokk), Kitty, Thorac, Merrideth, Arabus with Laura &
the little ones (Leah & Brendon) Samantha & Ursus. We found ourselves
in a rather strange land surrounded by people we did not know. They were
different from us, they had funny shaped heads, spoke in some strange language
& displayed all manner of strange customs. We decided that rather than
observe quietly & try to learn their ways we would lounge viciously
& mock them. We did this while they fought an amazingly long tournament.
All the while we waited for a melee which we felt must break out at any
moment. Ursus quickly sketched the people around us. Still we waited. Our
supplies dwindled & we resorted to eating a small horse. Still we waited
( I see no need to belabour the point, what I'm getting at is the tourney
was ver, ver long.) Our bodies were confused as well as our minds. We were
not fighting, nor were we nourishing ourselves with that lovely liquid
mix of barley & wheat and this was all new to most of our systems which
expect the occasional liquid reward just for functioning. Delierium began
to set in. But ohh when the call to fight came we answered. Our three combatants
took to the field like a smelly leather juggernaught. Arabus declared that
we fought for Thor & Anglesey. Under a lightning filled sky we met
the enemy & many blows were thrown. I will not go into all the details
but suffice it to say we busted some heads but not quite enough to win
the whole event. We met their king & he & the Queen are likeable
and friendly people who we will probably see again. Later we all mounted
up & headed out on our own adventures. Mine was & still is to seek
out new beers & new civilizations which I can then exploit for my own
personal gain. Ahhhhhh the Celtic life. Moe out
