Baldur’s Bangarang: Bacon Bonanza

The good ship Bacon has entered Sherwood Forest! Huzzah! Let there be much rejoicing and delicious pot luck on the ship’s Friday Night landing. Friends, old and new, meeting up to swap tales of the past weeks. Unfortunately, two of our friends, Joe Kaluza and Jenn Treadway, were missing. Joe was assaulted by an explosive keg and could not be with us. My old noggin cannot produce the reason why Jenn could not join us, but both have completely recovered from their associated maladies at the time of now.

Breakfast on Saturday morning was greeted with a hearty song. Bacon Pancakes song is now a morning tradition for the Bangarang, as is the accompanying bacon pancakes! Everyone loved the food (except Klein) and everyone loved the song (except Luis). What a way to start the day off with maximum fanfare and joviality! Huzzah!

Then it was time for the quest. The most dangerous and perilous quest, of which only 12 people completed. The quest that would not have been possible with out the timely intervention of Lady Amelia. Special thanks to her! The quest comprised of simple riddles, but the Nightmare Beasties beset the quest by using Runic powers to hide the questions! Only by undoing this obfuscation could our amazing adventurers aptly reply to the raucous riddles. Only those who aided in the endeavor will sport the prized Bangarang Badge. Huzzah for our champions!

Once the quest had been satisfied, it was then the tummy’s turn. Satisfaction came in the form of Spaghetti scalded in chicken broth, smothered in Bacon and Tomato Alfredo, and topped with Seasoned Grilled Chicken. Only a sprinkling of Parmesan was needed to catapult this concoction into the Halls of Legend. Whether it will retain its place is up to next year’s Odin’s Chefs.

With the quest completed and dinner served, the Bangarang continued with great revelry and merriment until Sunday. Morning greeted everyone with Meats, Cheeses, and Buttered Tortillas. A delicious end to a most epic encounter. Everyone left with naught but memoirs of their achievements and memories of the Bangarang. May it not be their last.

Together, We are Tanks!

Captain’s Blog – Hugin’s Quest: The Search for Munin

First, let me apologize for the late post and thank everyone for the fantastic events and weekends we’ve had at Sherwood Forest Faire so far this season. We are meeting our goal of being good neighbors and are getting real traction in becoming established members of the clan community.  Best of all, we’ve made hundreds of new friends and several of which may join our ranks.

I had the pleasure of Raid Leading our first event, Hugin’s Quest: The Search for Munin. Odin, the Allfather of the gods, had two Raven familiars, Hugin and Munin (thought and memory), that traveled the nine realms and reported all things to Odin. It is said the Allfather feared one day they would not return.  He worries for Hugin, but he worries more for Munin. And this was weekend Munin did not return.

The Heirs of Asgard and their allies knew Munin was last seen near Nottingham Castle, an area known well to only a few heirs. Their quest was to map out Sherwood Forest’s clan camp grounds, make friends, and bring Munin back to camp. Throughout the weekend our adventurers visited 30 different camps, met hundreds of midgardians, and ultimately brought Munin home.

Congratulations to Melinda and Doug from Odin’s Children for finding Munin, who was lost in Mug and Flame, and to Britt and PJ for mapping the most clans and residents! Special thanks to Joe, Peter, and the Brew Crew for the full tap wall; to our dedicated TABC certified bar tenders; and to our Odin Chef, Jenn Treadway, for the wonderful meals!

One day, hopefully far in thet future, our memories will struggle to return. But, perhaps all we need is a little help from our friends to bring them back. I hope never to forget these wonderful weekends we get to enjoy together.  Thank you for being part of them.

Together we are Tanks!
