Join Storvik on a fine autumn weekend to celebrate the harvest and then protect it. Come spend the weekend with Viking raid on the English coast done Storvik-style. Camp and enjoy the cool autumn air and the camaraderie of a good fire.
The heavy fighting will consist of a branched campaign in which the circumstances of victory or defeat in one scenario will shape the next one. Win the battle outside the abbey? Next fight, you'll be brawling in the chapter house. Lose the battle outside the abbey, and you’re falling back through the mountain pass. Fighters will form boat crews and will remain with their crew for the day. Sometimes these different crews will work together; sometimes they will fight each other. Since this is war, you should expect the unexpected: changing scenarios, the sudden appearance of enemy troops, unexpected opportunities. We plan on allowing combat archery in every scenario. The winning crew will receive the campaign map to hang in their hall and a chest of wondrous loot worthy of their deeds. Bring your friends--the more fighters in an event like this, the more fun it will be.
It's a great opportunity for one last big melee before the end of the campaigning season! The event also will feature target archery, and a range of rapier scenarios. Questions regarding the fighting should be referred to the Marshal-in-charge, Joselin d’Outremer at knightmarshal@storvik.atlantia.sca.org
Saturday, October 18
9:30: Armor inspections begin.
10:00: Heavy authorizations begin.
10:30: Authorizations end. Fighter and marshal briefings.
11:00: Fighting begins.
1:00: Lunch break.
1:45: Fighting resumes.
4:00: Fighting ends and awards to heavy fighters. (You should see the campaign map and chest that will be awarded to the winning longboat crew!)
Please note that the fighting will NOT start “SCA time.” We are expecting a heavy turnout from across Atlantia and the East Kingdom, and I am determined that fighters not wait around in armor well into the afternoon for the chance to hit someone with a stick. The cannon goes off at 11 sharp, so please be on-site by 10 am (earlier if you plan on authorizing) so that you can armor up, be inspected, and listen to the scenario briefing.
