The adventures undertook the rebuilding of their forest hideaway in Upper Dragonwood. An army of orcs had ransacked this hidden sanctuary, smashing the fortress with their gnarly clubs as well as ripping up the trees along the forest road to the hideaway.
Orcs are inherently evil and destructive and need no more reason than that to attack, but in this case there was another reason: The Black Hand had commanded them to attack and destroy the adventurers’ home because The Black Hand was seeking the valuable Cache of Geon for its gold and other treasures. Thankfully, despite the destruction, the Cache of Geon was found to be safe in its hidden alcove. Will The Black Hand return? Stay tuned for future LARPs!
On a brighter note, the Black Hoof Tavern opened during the re-build.
Exhausted by their labors, the adventurers retired for refreshments to the Hopping Horse in Middle Dragonwood. There, a very nosy person asked a lot of questions.
Feeling revived by the good food and the good company, the adventurers held a tournament in the Field of Reckoning, conveniently located just outside of the Hopping Horse. Sir Bradley dominated the tournament and won handily. Several contestants were seriously wounded, including 1 severed finger, 12 severed legs, 4 severed arms, and 2 rolling heads.
The Council of Adventurers has agreed to a revised rule regarding weaponry: All edges for weapons used in battle must now be made of foam. Thrown weapons must have all exposed edges and surfaces covered in foam. Nerf long-range weapons are allowed, except for Nerf Rival. Warriors are reminded to pay attention to avoiding the illegal targets, including heads. All warriors are asked to check their weapons for rough spots before battle. Non-foam weapons may be used as costuming but not for battles.
