This past weekend Montengarde held it's Dragonslayer tourney to choose a new champion. Last year I was victorious in the lists and so this year I organized the lists.
We held a double elimination tournament and had 11 local fighters vying to be champions and a total of 18 fighters competing, with 1 bye fighter.
I opened the tournament with a short speech about fighting in the lists. It was well recieved with compliments from a few people including, "It made me want to fight"
In the end the prize tournament saw HE Sir Wernar victorious over HE Kirk Einarsson.
In the Dragonslayer tournament a relatively new face to our lands, Amish was victorious over Kathryn.
All in all it was a pretty fun event. I got to hang out with some of my favorite people. Fought a little bit as well.
The old and rew regalia was handed off to Amish who stood in court guarding their Excellencies with his Lady.
Free of duties I hung out with my lady a little and then made my way through the crowd chatting with people. After court Balinor appeared, having tracked me down to a time when there was still light and nothing for me to do. He has been wanting to teach me to shoot, and I have wanted to learn, but time has been an issue. But with a little free time, I went and got my bow and arrows and came and met him on the range.
We string the horse bow and went through some shooting talk. I watched him, I shot. Overall fired off ~ 55 arrows. I had ok grouping for the most part but I was usually a little high. All in all the bow seemed to work well, and I enjoyed being out there shooting it.
After that was done, drinking started. Was a good night around a few fires with friends new and old a like.
