Buon Giorno my Jericho friends,

Your favourite wild elf swashbuckler Olo'ren would like to invite you all this Sunday at 10 morning bells in Town Centre for the very first ever

NEW ADVENTURERS FENCING TOURNAMENT

Are you a new adventure wishing to show your sword fighting skills and duel with your fellow friend, or acquaintance, or that guy you can't wait to teach a lesson?

Can you wield a sword from the grip without pocking your own eyes off? 

Then the NAFT is for you! If you are an experienced adventurer or just don't know how to stick a sword in to a target, come cheer for your friends!

Rules are simple:

1. You need to be new adventurers [lev 5 or below] and able to use a sword [Weapon Group Proficiency: Med]. Duh! 
2. You can only duel using one sword. No other weapons, skills, magic tricks, dirt in the eyes and so on.
3. You swing to tap not to hurt [no damage calls, control your swings]. We don't want to give the blacksmiths and hospital extra work.
4. The NAFT is a single-elimination tournament. You lose, you are out, but you won my respect for challenging your self and your friends.
5. A duel has 3 rounds: who scores first 5 hits wins a round; who wins two rounds wins the duel. 
6. A hit counts only on the arms, shoulders, torso, legs and back.

The winner of the NAFT will receive:

• My personal recommendation to Spirits of High Winter to be granted the honour to be next year wielder of Tocker Sword, the magic sword that passes on to new adventures every year on High Winter. You might have seen me with it, it looks like a giant wooden clock hand. 
• The honour to become my apprentice as Swashbuckler, if they wish, at no cost other than their sweat and dedication.
• A special price in form of a useful item, my treat.

Feel free to stop by my tent and let me know that you want to participate, or leave me a message. Enna, which is kindly writing this for me, will read it to me. Don't be rude when approaching our camp please, Enna might not be... happy about it.

See you all Sunday at 10 morning bells! 

Yours,

Truly,

Olo'ren
