Another Tourney of the Foxes has come and gone. For those who aren't familiar with it, Foxes is an event that is put on by the folks down in the Shire of Vulpine Reach (Chattanooga, TN) every year about this time. What makes it noteworthy (at least to me) is the team rapier tourney. In the past, this has consisted of three person teams, but this year, they changed it to five person. So, myself and my old teammates, Captains Ysabel and Feador, recruited two new members, Captains Thomas O'Toole and Mikolaj Pilypas (I hope I spelled that right). We dubbed the new team "Captains Courageous". Now, I'm happy to say that we chose very, very well. Everyone fought with great spirit and skill and we landed another victory in the melee tourney. After the official tourney, we got all the Captains together (except for Cap'n Grimm who was marshalling) and did a "Captains against the world" melee. Ended up being 9 of us vs. 15 of them. I died to a very sneaky shot from Jack Marvell (I may be instructing him a little too well), but in the end, we still had two Captains standing. The rest of the day was devoted to pick up fights and socializing (and chocolate fudge cheesecake!). It was a great day! They are few and far between, lately, but so, so awesome when they happen.
Oh, and special thanks to Ursus and Svana for putting us up Friday night. Y'all are the best!

Sneaky? Bah. You just weren't paying proper attention, o captain, my captain. I think I accounted for about a quarter of your ilk, all told. ;)
I was certainly paying "proper attention" during the tourney, though. Hope you don't have too much of a bruise there.
Nice job racking up your kill count against the MOBs. I'm sure they will all remember your performance in the future and respond appropriately. >grins<
It didn't bruise at all. *Grumble* It was a dramatic death, at least.
No bruise!? Curses! ;)
Speaking of the dramatic death, did you see the pic of you flying through the air at Thomas after I hit you? Classic!
