Challenges and Activities
We've brewed up some beauties this year!
Bardic Authorizations, conducted by Master Cerian Cantwr
The management of Bardic Roundhouse cares about your safety and comfort. Thus we offer you the opportunity to demonstrate good control of your Bardic weapon of choice. Categories of bardic fighting styles you may authorize in include:
- Rapier Wit
- Heavy Metaphor
- Thrown Insults
- Siege Mentality
We do know about Second Breakfast, don’t we? Even if Minion Ridge is a long way from Hobbiton, we do adore “Elevenses.” So tell us a tale or sing us a song about your favorite mid-morning treat. Bonus points if you do it in Elvish!
Rest and relaxation was a rare thing in period. Some folks fell asleep and didn’t wake up for ages. Literally. Some blew off steam in a Tavern to their delight or ruination. Some got swaddled in swaddling clothes and rocked to sleep. Find a period piece that focuses on R&R.
In the heat of the afternoon what’s better than a dip in the Pond? Take a dive into the improvisational pool by capturing a Duck who holds the key phrase or word for your opus.
Back again by popular demand. Take a figurative and literal journey around Minion Ridge and return with the makings of a splendid Song or Story.
Bardic Circles
Robin and Brendan will once again be leading bardic circles, Friday and Saturday.
