Over the years I have been to so many weddings, festivals and other gatherings that have been no more than a footnote in my diaries.

I have decided to record these events from this time forward so that there is a formal record for posterity. When memory fails, the written word will prevail! On occasion, I will record my own feelings ( i.e. those of Bremerial's alter ego) along with Bremerial's own thoughts.

NB: OOC - Any logs included will be published using notepad which should make the information accessible to most.

DROTTA'S UNOFFICIAL SLALOM.

A loud voice shouts from high on a snowy hilltop, "Get ready to tumble slalom racers! you have a quarter hour left to prepare! Please remember to be enhansive free for the race!" The voice echos a moment and fades away.

[Shield Slalom, Finish Line]
Small, medium, and large shields are haphazardly stacked where their users discarded them in teetering piles next to some stairs. A long banner, presumably the finish line, flutters against its wooden uprights and, roughly ten or fifteen paces away, a broad berm of snow separates slalom participants from curious onlookers. Large basket torches blaze in a circle around the area, with smaller ones set alongside the steep mountain stairs at regular intervals to light the ascent. You also see a scoreboard, the timekeeper Gertl and some plain white ash benches.

Bumblin waves to you.

You wave to Bumblin.

Laerlyn says, "I'm excited."

Laerlyn says, "I love sledding."

Bumblin says, "Looks too hard for me."

Bumblin winces.

Aubriella wiggles her nose at you.

Taverner Drotta just limped down a long set of steep mountain stairs.

You see Taverner Drotta.
She appears to be a Dwarf of the Roramnoak Clan.
She is short and appears to be young. She has sparkling sea green eyes and tanned skin. She has long, thick black hair worn in a single braid.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a bottle of Pointy Ear ale, a bluerock snail amulet, a deep red woolen cloak, a crimson and cream silk blouse, some dark brown woolen trousers, and some front laced suede ankle boots.

You wave to Drotta.

Drotta exclaims, "Allo!"

Drotta asks, "Anyone here NOT racin?"

Drotta exclaims, "We got 11!"

Drotta says, "So!~."

Drotta says, "So one group will have one less person."

Drotta says, "Lemme clear dis board."

Drotta wipes the board with her cape!

Drotta nods.

You say, "Yeah - clear the board - gonna make a lot of difference to me."

You stare at nothing in particular.

Drotta exclaims, "Now den, up ta stairs but dun take a shield!"

You climb up a long set of steep mountain stairs.

[Shield Slalom, Starting Line]
Perched at the crest of a tall incline, the starting area offers an eagle eye view of the Wendigo course and Snowbunny course below. A large sign describing each of the runs sits behind several piles of shields near a long set of steep stairs that lead back down the mountainside. You also see a small placard, a pile of large fast shields, a pile of medium edged shields and a pile of small slow shields.
Also here: Sefina, Vikira, Bumblin, Hoy, Fleurs, Laerlyn, Lord Roblar, Roelon, Aubriella, Lady Corlyne, Taverner Drotta

Drotta says, "I can either put ya into 3 groups, and take ta top three to win their groups and each winner runs against the other two for top 3 OR We can run you all at once."

Hoy says, "Lets do it all at once."

Drotta says, "And top three win."

Bumblin says, "Messy is fun!~."

Bumblin gives voice to a piercing cry, sounding exactly like a vulture!

Drotta says, "First option may help the lesser skilled."

Drotta says, "Second option will definately reward the top scores."

Sefina says, "Two chances is better than one."

You say, "The slide-challenged will take any help we can get."

You nod.

Vikira agrees with you.

Drotta says, "Discuss a moment, and I'll call a voite in a tick or two."
