Armored Combat

Questions about armored combat during the day? Contact our armored MIC: Serjeant Cormac of the Ring Tribe

10:00 am - The Tavern Brawl:
An all-against-all melee! Make your temporary alliances during the fight, but the last person standing when the city watch arrives to end the fight will be the winner. The weapons must not look like weapons at all so we encourage people to make SCA legal weapons that look like things you might find in a tavern brawl (food items, canes, covertly concealed weapons, knives, etc) the only limit is the imagination of the maker so long as it can pass Marshal inspection and pass the bouncer of the tavern

11:00 am - Game of Thrones:
Teams have to get their VIP to the dais. ONLY the VIP can enter the dais. VIP may sit on the throne if there is no other VIP to contest. VIP will fight for right to claim throne. Timed battle. Total time that VIP sits on throne will determine the victor.
