Armored

WAR declares: this year’s tournament is ripped from Greek and Norse myths, still hot and smoking! Experience armored combat, fought on the border between life and death! 

First is the trek to Gjöl and Gjallarbrú bridge, to trade speech with Móðguðr! Then onward to the river Styyx, to offer a haggle of bravery and steel to Charon’s fell fees!. Finally, those with warrior’s hearts shall face their final foe: the triple hot-breathed defiance of Cerberus!

(Practically, there will be open field, limited front, and bear pit style scenarios. There will also possibly be combat archery, if marshals in that discipline are handy.)
