Today was the festival and Quinn April, Stewan, Isidore and a few others were busy preparing the town and making it festive.
Because of the festival a truce had been called out to various parties and we out some extra paladins to duty watching that nay fights break out and everything remained peaceful.
Tables and stools were placed throughout the park and Stewan prepared his famous dishes and handed out drinks.
I intended to do a drawing contest, but with the festive guests and the fun they had I decided to do a few sketches and show them around for entertainment.

After people introduced themselves and had the chance to eat and drink Lord Isidore called out something he called Caledonian conest.
Basically you grab a very heavy log, balance it and then you throw it away from you and the one that throws it furthest wins.
Many people tried their luck with this one and the contest too quite a long time and sadly I missed who won it and I will report the winner tomorrow.
*this sketch shows the contest*
People returned then to the refreshments and the festival continued for a bit until more and more people left for home and the town grew quieter.

Subject: The Scara Brae Market
Today was the Scara Brae Market, and as part of my overtime I went along with Armswoman… *a few attempts of remembering are scribbled out* … an Armswoman to oversee it and make sure no fights broke out and there was no stealing and the likes.
There was dog fighting (is that legal?) which could be bet on and later on mongbat vs. dog fighting; I tried to persuade the Armswoman to put her little vicious poodle thing in, but she didn’t seem to think they would believe it was a dog… oh well, would have been some easy winnings.
There were lots of things for sale, all too expensive for me unfortunately (have I mentioned recently that a pay rise would be a nice idea? Just consider it…). They included: armour, fish, weapons, wood items such as staffs and furniture and the likes.
There were quite a few people present and all round it was a good turn out, the weather was nice and there was very little trouble.
The only trouble we had was some Eastern man being difficult when asked to remove his gigantic bow; and thinking it was alright to just remove the string and stroll into town … the Armswoman and I followed after him, but as the Armswoman was too busy chatting to some pirate looking man, he got ahead and then we couldn’t find him. He probably got in a huff and strolled out of South Gate, or heard what we intended to do with the stick… and so ran off to hide; either way, he didn’t come back at least from what I saw.
I stayed for a while to watch, spoke to Stewan about some things and as there seemed to be no trouble and things quietened down a bit, I left the rest of the afternoon in the capable hands of the Armswoman and her poodle.
All in all it was a good, enjoyable, peaceful afternoon.

*you see a sketch of a large room filled with people sitting on benches, facing a man on a podium who seems to lecture about something.
The man looks to be in his late thirties with long hair and in dandy kind-looking clothes. He seems to be reciting from a book which if you look closely has the title ‘101 boring anecdotes’ and it seems he talks rather boringly.
The only spot of colour in the picture is his slightly red nose, as if he had a drink too many and his features are resembling to Lord Ikus.
His audience seem to be slumped in their chairs and most have their heads lowered as if they had fallen asleep due to the boring speech.
In the front row you can see the Duke of Trinsic peacefully slumbering and other nobles of the realm seem to be also asleep.
In the second row you can see a knight in armor who despite that most of the others are asleep still seems to follow the lecture. He has long hair and a beard and resembles closely to Sir Bevier*
