Luna Fair, Malas, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – January 18, 2014 – by Ashlynn – Lodestone. Errant arrows. Expensive goods of questionable origin. That about sums up day four of the anniversary celebrations. An untidy house could also be mentioned – sometimes it is so difficult to find things.
Se’an Silverfoot’s Annual Anniversary Archery Competition
The SSAAAC (or Sack), an official SAL sponsored event run under the auspices of the BAA is a regular feature of the anniversary celebrations and this year was no different.
The format was much the same as in previous years – double elimination – with prizes for first, second and third place. There were about a dozen participants some of who were skilled archers and some who were… not so able. Some duels with the bow were close fought and others not so much.
I, usually a dead-eye shot with a bow (at least in my mind) performed poorly. But I must admit the winter wind was rather biting and that no doubt caused my aim to be a little off.
As the participants gradually dwindled it was finally left to Jonah and Lady T to fight it out for the first place. After a very close-fought match it was Jonah who eventually walked away victorious leaving the results as follows:
- 1st Place: Jonah
- 2nd Place: Lady T
- 3rd Place: Sushi
The Bi-weekly Vesper “Salvage” Auction
Absolutely positively not a cover for any kind of illegitimate business and running every two weeks, the auction fell on anniversary week this time and took up the rest of friday evening.
There were plenty of goods on offer, many fresh off a variety of merchant ships. Whether those merchant vessels are still afloat is another matter. I even managed to find a magic book I had been seeking for a long time which oddly still had blood on the front cover. I thought it best not to ask!
There was even a raffle with four winners drawn of which I was one – a reward for my exceptionally helpful feedback no doubt.
The Annual House Treasure Hunt
A wonderful event that involved searching through every box and barrel in my home in order to find a few oversized carnivorous plants and some harpsichord rolls! Well, perhaps not a true event but it was for one of Lady Winmere’s good causes!
