Following Orders

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Hey now!  Thar be nuthin wrong with pyrates!  I happen to be one meself from time to time.  It pays in rum, ye know!

Not knockin them at all. I've even dabbled in the past with being a scullywag.

Apparently Brother, you were much better finding the "look".

I was never comfortable with the "sea-side sinner" look........

[Femme Falchion]

Brother Beaumanoir, if that's not a sin, I don't know what is! 

[Sir William Marcus]

Unfortunately, it saddened us this morning as we had to postponed our patrols at OHRF due to unfavorable weather conditions.  We can only await word from brother Marcus.  Hopefully his day went as planned and wasn't hindered by the forces of nature. 

[Femme Falchion]

Brother William I'm sorry to hear nature interfered with your planned patrol.    She works in mysterious ways.  Surely you will have another opportunity soon. 

I want to extend the invitation to all the Brothers & Monks on this thread to make the pilgrimage to CRF this fall. Fairhaven often represents many Brothers of the Orders (as documented previously) and I know everyone will have a LARGE time.  Rumor has it that Frere de Beaumanoir will be making an official visit...and plans send out a formal request to all others here. (Perhaps to assist him in facing the equally represented Pagan heathens that abound) 

I know the Brothers have attempted a gathering in the past, perhaps now is the time! 

Deus Vult?

[Marcus of Ibelin]

Mother Nature gave us a glorious day, if a tad warm, and patrol I did.  I only ran into one other Brother, of the Teutonic Order, however the camera was off shopping at the time. 



However, eventually the heat and the weight of the mail did me in, and I had to join my seaborn mates in some rum n' wenching.

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

A splendid shot Brother, and if your humidity was anything we had at the range today...ooohhhh...I understand.

Does this mean I have to make a Carolina Rendezvous poster?

[Sir William Marcus]

Right on brother Marcus!

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

[Marcus of Ibelin]

Nice!  Someday perhaps I'll be able to meet up somewhere.

Going back to the painted helm of our Italian Brothers....that's really intrigued me and I've actually been considering doing it to my helm!

[Just Jesse]

I have always preferred painted helms, to non... I painted my great helm red and left the brass cross unpainted, but i was the only one who liked it so i eventually cleaned it off.

[Femme Falchion]

I noticed this unfortunate event just today.....

[Marcus of Ibelin]

Down, but not out, it appears to me, dear Sister.  It looks as if the brave Brother is about introduce his mace to the top of that beast's head!

[Sir William Marcus]

That's right! You can't keep a brother down!

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Tactically speaking, they have laid down on their backs as to present smaller targets against this aerial foe, it also limits the amount of directions that the threat can come at them. (They used to instruct Infantryman to lay down on their backs during an attack by enemy aircraft and concentrate their fire at a point above them that the enemy would pass through....here that point appears to be the space occupied by the winged reptile's brain housing!)
