Eric Holdstar's Knighting
Eric Holdstar's Knighting Ceremony. The buffet -- even that couldn't
remove the smile from his face. A bit more detail: "Just prior to the
actual slap, King Eric scared the crap out of Eric Holdstar by putting
on a full metal gauntlet. "Bow thy head!" he thundered at the hapless
new knight, drawing back his arm and raising his hand. Once Eric looked
down, the Queen's Champion (Garth of Windhaven, standing behind the
thrones) pulled the gauntlet off so the King just laid bare flesh on
Eric. This was all just part of a great joke engineered by Geoffrey
of Griffinhold, Garth of Windhaven, and King Eric." -- Tatiana
