Fool's Crusade II -- Ravenshore
March 29-31, 2002 (AS XXXVI)

"Fun event! Garth of Windhaven, Torvald Torgarrson and I day tripped it on Saturday. The battles were frequent and well run.

"I particularly remember one castle battle where we had divided up the forces more or less randomly. I wound up on the outside and (after the archers in the castle towers were killed) stood to the left side of the castle seeking to distract the fighters inside. Every time they would start to force their way out the front gate I would step back around the tower and kill the ones who had come out. I guess it was a case of out of site out of mind. You'd think they would have gotten a clue after my doing this twice, but noooooo. :-) I managed the same trick at least three times, possibly four. Afterward Geoffrey of Griffenhold called me a sneaky bastard. :-) (He was one of my victims.)

"Another side light on this event was the Geoffrey's squire Maximilliam was over from Drachenvald. In several battles Max and Geoffrey were fighting side by side. Now it is a "tradition" that Geoffrey manages to kill his own squires in battle (when they were on his side). He's managed to do it at least once with every squire he's had. Garth, Torvaldr and I started a chant of "Kill Max, Kill Max" so he could keep the tradition alive. Sad to say Geoffrey never managed to do it! :-)" -- Vlasta von der Weissen Sonne
