Hi everyone,

Sir William Thomas' household is sponsoring a melee practice the day after Defending the Gate. It's being held at Gerhard's house a little ways west of Hagerstown. I encourage those who are interested to attend.

Team melee. We'll have 5 man teams with the following setup:
Teams of 5 are divided equally on two sides. Everyone fighting, all the time.
They are the five Commanders of their side, and will have sashes tied on their masks numbered 1 through 5.
The battle will be a resurrection battle. The fight is over when the 5 Commanders are killed in order. Ties would be resolved with a champions-style, king-of-the-hill fight between the teams in contention.
