Join us for a swashbuckling weekend of daring-do. We’re sporting a Three Musketeers theme this time, do sharpen your rapiers and break out the cavalier hats. We’ll have our traditional Rose Tourney (heavy and light) ~ with a twist! More fighting to boot! Come for classes, an A&S competition, children’s activities, and a most meaty feast! After feasting, we’ll move the revelries for a lusty celebration of dance.
Be sure to check back here for forthcoming info!

Martial Activities

Armored (Heavy) Combat:

Tourney of Roses -
This is the Traditional Lusty Month of May Rose Tourney. Every fighter begins with 3 roses, they then go out and find a fighter to challenge (or be challenged by). They fight and the winner of the match chooses to whom his opponent will present a rose. The match styles or duration are entirely up to the fighters. Additional roses may be purchased for a modest sum, $1 with proceeds going to support TRM's travel fund OR you can earn a rose by impressing a panel of ladies with your virility, lewdness or in some other way convince them that you deserve another rose. What it takes is entirely up to the ladies. Ladies wishing to be part of the judging panel should see the listmistress.

Ransom Tourney:
This is new to Lusty Month of May and is shamelessly stolen from Sir Rodger. In this Tourney you begin with 10 coins and your worth is based on your rank. Men at Arms are worth 1 coin, Squires are worth 2, Knights 3, Royal Peers 4. Court or Territorial Barons add +1 to whatever their respective rank is. The fighting is conducted similar to the Rose tourney in that you challenge someone to a fight, whomever wins must take their opponent back to the ransom point where they can collect their reward. However, if another fighter can challenge you before you return to the ransom point then you must accept their challenge (or buy them off!). If the new challenger wins he then takes the ransoms of both the challenged and his previous opponent as well. The previous opponent can choose to sit out the fight or can help his captor (if he is properly motivated of course).

Three Man Team Tourney:
This is what it says, no silly rules, just three guys to a team in either round robin or double elimination depending on the number of entrants.

Light Combat (Rapier):

Come one, come all, come in threes to the Lusty Month of May rapier tournament!
Main tourney: Round Robin - best two out of three.
Assassin's tourney: Fighting with case of daggers.
Melee 1: Tavern brawl (sword and rigid parry -- mugs, goblets, bottles, dead chickens)
Melee 2: The Musketeers versus the Cardinal's men--sword and dagger.
