The fair this weekend was a test of stamina. Stamina to cover many rapid fire acts and folk. Stamina to cover the food and drinks. But mostly stamina to endure the incredible humidity that followed the worse set of torrential rainstorms that hit the area all year. Lands and cities were flooded. Power was lost. Made Chessmatch a major challenge. And this year there were 2 different matches-1 each day.

Okay but not for long	Paddy yields before this shave gets any closer	Mumsey tries her luck against the noble savage	Someone wasn't quite so lucky
The King's got a full plate today	Matching steel with Sir Percival	Another victory	Gertrude tries her hand at the King and almost wins
Except she forgot they're going for a blood draw	Now for Latimer	Thrust, Dodge, Parry	Blood!
Okay Two-Hawks, kill king	Ooh, lots of stamina	Magnus yields the square and the game	in the name of his hair
