Crown is over, Syr Hirsch won the tournament in what I can only describe as a fantastic fight. It is good to know he came out on top, he has been trying to a long time. He fought Duke Syr Valens VI, for the crown, and the Semis had Sean off the Chippendales and Ashir in with them. It was great and was the first time I had witnessed the oath that the combattants must swear, was pretty sobering.
I also came to the conclusion that you must be incredibly fast, strike a very telling blow, very cleanly or you are just spinning your wheels in that tournemant. The combattants all fought honorably and I was impressed with the amount of talking they do on the field.
I also came to the realization that I am not as young as I used to be. Drinking and courousing are for the younguns’, not for me. I think I will pass on the alcohol from here on out and just stick to water and delicious Diet Dr. Pepper.
All in all, I had a great time, the heat sickness and sore back are a testement to that. I look forward to many more events in the future and thank the people of Grimfells for their hospitality!
