Ted waited for everyone (or at least almost everyone) to show up. He was dressed like Friar Tuck. Once everyone was gathered, he led the way out into the woods. There was a small campfire set up with logs around it for sitting on. Set aside was a pile of marshmallows and sticks. There's also a plate of roast pork and crackling and a few big jugs of cider (non-alcoholic of course) with some mugs to go around.
"Help yourselves, dudes," Ted said and started handing passing around the food and drink. "A lot of places in the multiverse are still totally medieval. A lot of medieval music is made around the camp fire, because that's where medieval dudes eat and drink and party on. A lot of medieval music is all about singing stories instead of telling them, because it's easier for people to join in and make stuff up and make it interesting.
The stories are usually about these babes in distress who prick their finger on a wheel or lose their really expensive shoes. Sometimes they're about the local action heroes, the Eastwoods and the Stallones of the medieval places, like dudes who can pull knives out of rock and dudes who wear tights and roam around the forest looking for fights and steal from the rich dudes and give to the poor dudes and get the girl, even if she does have a chastity belt on."
Discussion: "No discussion today dudes. If you wanna sing camp fires, totally go for it. Enjoy your marshmallows. Anyone want a s'more?"
