Photo Highlight

With Neverwinter's Defrost, their January event in Florida, just around the corner.  I thought I would highlight a picture from our first Defrost and Neverwinter event.  Most participants were taken with just the tourneys (as it was also the Olympiad event that year).  Yet, off to the far side of the event was a class war game.  The game was actually held in a paintball arena, so it was a castle battle.  It was great fun to watch.  The gentleman pictured above staked out his spot on the wall and many would-be invaders fell prey to his swift arrows.

Sadly I did not catch the scout's name but well done sir!

Baroness Sethrial MacCoill

HURRAH!

Congratulations belt child!  Sethrial has been named Baroness of Faila Ranea.

Her service does start under a bad cloud but we will soon have that cleared away and everything running smoothly.  I am looking forward to seeing what she can do in the upcoming months.

One of her first actions was to set me as chancellor.  So I am going to be getting rocords back in order and working on the ORK a lot.  I look forward to my new challenge.

The MacCoills have grown

Before your mind makes the logical leap forward, no I am not having a baby.

We have added new members to the clan belt line.  Sethrial of Faila Ranea  was made woman-at-arms to Count Deryk.  She quickly gave her page belt to Kaas of Emerald Academy.   I am excited about our new editions. They both are great fighters and very interested in crafting.

I am looking at potential page to be named in few weeks.  It will prove interesting.

Silly Videos

Here are my videos so far for the Amtgard Video Contest.  I am not entering a video since I am going to be judging and what not.  But I am cute little shorts to inspire others.  The happy thing is that they are also inspiring me.  I am going to look into doing stop motion for some fairy tales.

OK the event was a good one.  I had a lot of fun once I had my chill pill.  That needs to be explained.  I did not charge my camera the night before the event because it read a full charge, so I figured I had done it earlier and forgotten about it.  I also did not pack the charger for this very same reason. It was wrong I was wrong and thus I was pissed for a good 2 hours or so.  Which means no photos as my camera died 30 mins after turning it on.  Still pissed!

Well that being said I turned around to see what else I could do.  I was watching the "newbies" sparring off to the side and decided to toss some critiques their way.  I am by no means a good fighter or even a decent one.  But I am one hell of an observer!  I pointed out things that I knew would be helpful.  I was advising on stance and swing tech.  I would occasionally ask my mentors how to explain something and go back to relay the info.  My mentors were in the weaponmaster and thus not in a teachy mood.  I had fun doing that.  I also got to kill some people!

All and all we had a nice event and my husband stepped down from Kingdom Office which means more free time for us.  I did snap some pictures on my phone during court so here are some highlights.
