Many activities were rained out at SCA events in the Northeast last weekend, but not the Laurels versus Pelicans boffer fundraiser. Holding a melee out of doors as originally planned was impossible in the mud and rain, but Mistress Anastasia, former Kingdom Mistress of Lists, suggested a format change. The tables were pushed back in the large dining hall, and one-on-one bouts were held in the round for the entertainment of the damp event attendees. (more…)
Some of the Laurels and Pelicans headed out into their fundraiser at Panteria with boffer weapons that were built specifically for them. These peers proposed “specialty weapons” which they would get to use only if they raised enough money. The weapons added humor to the already lively bouts.
