April 9-10 Adventure Days From Mike We have a site about 5 miles from Awosting.... I want it to be an "Ash Ford Battle Day" faire put on by the Duchess with events and prizes and stuff But Plot can do that part.... Hours from 9 to 6 or so. They will allow tents. You can sleep in the logistics building if you wish. No showers but bathrooms. (We're getting a motel room) There is a room in another building we can use for a module place and there are two other buildings that may be available if they can get all the stuff out o them but no guarantees There are lots of woods and paths that go downhill to a big creek where you can have NPC camp....And the NPC area can be reached by car by going around back There is a "viewing stand" like at the Graveyard at Awosting that we can tarp off for another module but I'd rather use it as a Viewing stand for the Duchess Showing up Friday morning should be fine So we need a write up and see about what costumes and props you need I will be getting a list of local motels from the camp soon and will place it in the April newsletter Plus given the snow this year some of the site might be muddy...There is a big field...but if it is we can put most of the stuff in the woods Be sure to send me your plot stuff soon.... April 1 All Fool's Day This is the traditional graduation date for the Jester's School of the Royal Bardic College. Not suprisingly, jesters, fools and the town idiots from all over the Kingdom tend to congregate in Ashbury for the celebrations, which include numerous practical jokes and silliness. Beware of flying pies, oils of slipperiness, and hallucinoid poisons on this date. April 18 Ash Ford Battle Day This is the date of the famous Battle of Ash Ford, where the troll leader Fangthorn and his army were defeated. This is primarily a holiday in the various armed services who use this day as an excuse to study military strategy. Some holiday. Bobo and Spanks' Carnival Bobo and Spanks heard that the Duchess was having a faire but became disgruntled when they were specifically not invited to attend. They have set up a small carnival outside of town and are drawing in the faire goers. This would be a 6 person repeatable module (Bobo n Spanks can (and quite possibly will) take deaths during it. The carnival is mostly on the up and up. Planned events are: house of horrors stick your hand in spagetti, saying "this is intestine" etc a rigged coin toss a sideshow of people immitating nobles some slavery issues other things to be planned If you like this, we'd like an ad placed in the Ashbury Times. Come to Bobo and Spanks traveling Carnival April 9 & 10 With acts from far off and exotic lands. don't be FOOLISH, do what the NOBLES & HEALERS do, see this show before you DIE. Bring the kids, Children love carnivals. Put a sword in a big bag. say "This is a magic sword.. but we can't show it to you unless you win it. To prove it, let someone from the audience swing it." Then a plant from the audience comes up and uses an Enchanted Blade while swinging. The Acursed Eating utensils of Doom The party is led into a small room with a table. On the table is a covered box. A presenter goes on, telling the party about the long and terrible history of what lies underneath. "a merchant from Volta came across these in the year 450. 2 weeks later, he died." etc.. The presenter goes on as long as possible, either boring or enticing the party. Eventually he uncovers the horrid things... a knife, fork, soup spoon, and tea-spoon The dreaded soup spoon of destruction The acursed butter knife of desolation The horrific 3 tined fork of beratement The protective teaspoon of Synops The butter knife stats: permanent magic item created a few years ago (check the ritual tables for something feasible) The magic will run out Feb 2, 595 Spirit Linked Spirit Linked Friday 1pm Luke Sullivan 955 Mass ave between harvard & central near John & Nick's gas station.
