A decree by Qon Sarnac
at Day of Piracy II,
Shire of Bastille du Lac
So,
as some of you may know, Lady Savina and I attended
Piracy II Saturday, 13 July
Lord Sean Campbell (Marty) and Lady Morag (Christine) were there.
What a
bad influence.
During the Plank tourney (think bridge in
Sarnac when he dropped his weapon and yeilded the fight.
Later, about 45 minutes before court, I mentioned to Marty and
Christine
this fact. They agreed that perhaps asking for a ransom would be in
spirit
with the day.
We aproached His Majesty with this and
he said that a fair Ransom would be
keeping from rasing an army to flatten the
Stronghold and moved on.
Enter Master Hector. He asked what we would like and then
moved off to
question the Qon. We asked for hunting rights
for
bit, Master Hector returned and asked if we would be in Court.
Sensing
doom, I sought out two nails.
The first item of court was "Yes, bring in the two
Miscreants"
Following that, was the following Proclimation:
"Hear the will of Sarnac, Qon. The extortionate and presumptuos
denizens
of the stews of outer Tor Brandt would hold
their Qon to ransom.
The Qon, maker of widows and bringer
of nightmares, is well pleased with
such initiative.
The Qon declares:
i.) he is no longer to be ransomed
ii.) in his generosity, he leaves the heads of
the extortionate on their
quivering shoulders
iii.) apropos of nothing, the Qon commands Red Sir Edward to give a staff
of best rattan to Tor Brandt
iv.) we will never discuss this again
v.) the bardic press
gang is forgiven
now
go away"
We then presented the Qon with our
Coffin Nails.

Robert the Blue
