Following Orders

[Lady Christina de Pond]

hmmmm templars from across the boarder are smaller than ga templars

Sister ASHley,

Unless you know another Templar monk, all of us gearing up for the ARF, are from the same side of the BORDER......the west side of the river! And all Warrior Monks are the same size: Larger than Life!

Deus vult!

lol warrior i dare say you've been listening to the backstreet boys

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Sister ASHley, from your reply, it would appear that you've taken more than your fair share of a sip from the Holy wine...


Let me thus explain it to you, in the theory of "A picture is worth one thousand words.."

thirteen more days!!!!

Carolina Renaissance Festival

Greetings Brothers.  Enjoyed a beautiful day at CRF this past weekend escorting these two lovely (but obviously secular) ladies through the streets of Fairhaven.


Lady Selduin, Madame Ambrosia and myself

Fortunately, when things became menacing, several good Knights (although quite dour....must be in the Rule somewhere) were available (so as not to get blood on my finery  )



(this gentleman almost didn't let me capture his image because he was without his helm!)




Also ran into a few of the Sisters....who thoroughly chastised me for having such an obviously good time!

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Wonderful majik box representations Sister Hatchet!

Judging from the size of the table knife on your hip, the old adage of "you can take the Sister out of the Order, but not the Order out of the Sister" appears to be correct.

It looks as if the two major Orders were equally represented that day.

Pilgrims and passersby, please take note how that humble Templar Knight provides that young pilgrim a solid perch as to peer above the local Saracen, and a steady and dependable ride as to reach his final destination!

[Femme Falchion]

I hate to admit it but I was having wardrobe malfunctions towards the end of the day....my scabbard kept falling out of it's frog and my hip was falling asleep from the weight of my belt (I also was carrying 2 pouches, runes, a book, a drinking horn, majik box, and other unseen goodies).

Very Nice! Thank you indeed for sharing Sister Hatchet.  I 'am somewhat surprised at the number representing the orders.       Me and fra Joseph rarely counter any in our ventures. 

It also appears that CRF likes to make sure that those piece-ties are really visible too. You can probably spot them from the space shuttle.. lol!

Warrior Nun......peasant sister...........or pack mule?


I have to ask.....what book? Perhaps Upton Ward's Primitive Rule of the Templars?

[Femme Falchion]

Pack mule?      *stomps on WM's foot* That's not very nice!

The book was not Primitive rule of the Templars but instead The Book of Runes by Ralph Blum.  When I was inspired I offered to "consult the oracle" with others.    

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

*sticks swelling foot in mouth to prevent swelling from going too far*

I was only referencing the fact of the mighty load you had mentioned that you carried suspended from around your waist restraint....

The continuation



After receiving news of Saracen activities, myself and Sir Joseph move unto the grounds to locate our contact.








































NOPE! Thats not him. Thats our German brother "Gerhard Von Kinckelbach!"













































Here's our contact....



Our contact informs us of the whereabouts of thee Infidel. We move in immediately.... 




































And discovered, it was none other than our good ole Turkish friend "Lord Magnus!"






So, without a hassle we kinda take Lord Magnus into a peaceful custody to ease the tension of the pilgrims.




We talked about the good old days and then...


We decided it was time to do some serious drinking of the blessed wine






Just to reassure ourselves. We had Lord Magnus swear his faith to the Church....again.
















Everything was looking good...


























Then out of nowhere Sir Joseph decides to claim his passage, and takes out Lord Magnus with his Beauseant!!!



I almost laughed my holy hiney off!  Especially here when Lord Magnus tried to draw his scimitar...Right!




It doesn't get much better than that!  A most joyous time if I should say so myself!


The End

[Femme Falchion]

Awesome Tale Brother William!!!    Well done.

It looks to me as if Lord Magnus would have been better off not drinking the sacred wine and imbibing from the sacred pipe! (that's a great accessory!). 

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

I just LOVE happy endings!!!! 

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Thats our German brother "Gerhard Von Kinckelbach!"

It appears from the weathering and fading of his tunic cross, that this Germanic warrior monk has been to the Outremer and back. His Cross has the look of reinforced sewing around the edges.
He also appears to be carrying the KoH sword of Odo on his hip.

His shield appears to have some sort of secular color scheme and design on it though...

[Sir William Marcus]

He also appears to be carrying the KoH sword of Odo on his hip.

Nothing escapes your eye my brother. It is indeed the sword of Odo.  Fra Gerard also informed me that he always leaves his habit outdoors to acquire the weathered look (pun intended). 

The next time I speak to him I will ask about the colors on his shield.
