Coppers, Crossbows and Caravans

The snows have melted and many travel from great distances looking for new forms of entertainment. There are taverns with minstrels and bards in every town, but none can compare to entertainment provided at this one. At a game house, known as “Menhard’s Manor of Entertainment”, located at an open crossroad, many games of both skill and chance are being played.

For those with the prowess of the bow, there is a tournament being held to prove to all your renowned skill and gain the championship of the Barony of L'Ile du Dragon Dormant, and for the rest  of you who do not enjoy a good hunt or attacking the target,there will be games of chance as well as wagers as a fund raiser for our awe inspiring archers, who without them this day would not be worth it, but fret not those of you who are lacking in coin for there you have not been forgotten, there will be games for you as well for your enjoyment. In the evening, there will be much entertainment from our bards and bards -to be- around the grand Bonfire, which is traditional in these lands. So Come one come all, and enjoy these days, and try not to burn down my Manor, it has not yet been blessed by the powers that be.
