Fencing at Glory

Fencers, bring your grear and prepare to test your steel in duels, games, and tourneys, This year, fencers will also get to take part in the battle between Vikings and Saxons!

Don Justinian has an array of duels, games and challenges in store, including a rubber band gun shootout, and of course, the Blade of Glory tournament, hosted by last year's winner. During the Viking/Saxon scenarios, fencers will cross blades, with the outcome of the fencing contest affecting the heavy battle on the field.

This year everyone will be given two of the same card. One card they will wear for identification and the other will be used as their life card in duels for the blade of Glory.

The dueling tournament will run as usual except that possession of the Blade of Glory is at stake as well. Regular duels are tallied as usual: 3 points for a win and one point for a loss. The Second for the winner is responsible for reporting the results of the duel to the MOL.

Duels with the Holder of the Blade are a little different, A fencer can challenge the Holder of the Blade by putting his life card on the line. If he loses then the Holder takes his card. If he wins then the Holder either surrender a card won in a previous duel, or the Blade if he has no spare life cards left.

Being holder of the Blade comes with the agreement that at least one challenge should be entertained per hour from 10AM - 5 PM. This is provided there are challengers of course.

Life cards can be turned in to the MOL at any time for 5 points in the dueling tournament. The MOL must be informed every time the Blade changes hands.

The MOL and Marshalett will hand out collected life cards to their respective owners for service to the field (Marshaling, Water Bearing, or other valuable service).
