Prepped for Yule Ball
All shire fencing kit sent to Yule Ball by the Blessed Folks Who Own Vehicles (BFWOV).
This week I ran 2 mock authorisations for 2 fencers who wanted to attempt authorisation at Yule Ball.
This was helped by one occasional fencer rolling up - someone neither of the new fencers had tried to fight before.
We ran through the authorisation routine, and covered some things they would not have seen at all - melee conventions, rules of engagement, death from behind.
So out of that, one person decided she wants to practice more first before trying to authorise, which I think is really smart for her, and she can go and enjoy the rest of the event.
One person is going ahead with authorisation, marshals permitting.
All scribal bumf packed - light duty this time, as my class doesn't have a handout.
In fact relies heavily on other people showing up to take part. If noone shows up I'm bunking off to head to another class!
All scroll blanks packed, to hand off to badgersandjam.
Bestiary is packed, along with cover sheet and plain text. I'm curious to see peoples' reactions to a work in progress - I've never put one on display before.
Clothes packed. I waffled over what to pack and settled on my plum gown with fur border, because it hangs so well when dancing. :-)
Robert packed feastgear, including our shiny new treasures from TORM. Wait til you see them!
I'm really looking forward to this event. I love kingdom universities anyway, and it's been years since one was in the principality.
Hope we can pick up wine for the trip en route...though I don't know where I'll pack it.
