Rapier at Red Tower

My fighting at Red Tower was somewhat limited. First, I spent the first part of the morning heralding the heavy tournament, and thus missed the Cut-and-thrust demo and class. Then, the day got very warm and very humid. I fought some in a pick up bout with Sigurd, before the actual tournament, and probably should have sought out some other opponents as well, but it was too darn hot. I didn't do all that well in the tournament, either, drawing Tom for an opponent. I would rather have had someone I don't fight every week, but them's the breaks. Tom and I are fairly evenly matched, but he has the edge in physical strength, and he got the win here.

The melee tourney did not go much better. Red Sword was hampered by William armoring down early due to the heat, and we did not have much coordination to our fight. I managed to take Thomas O'Toole's hand in our second bout, but did not otherwise distinguish myself. As a fencer, I remain a pretty good Bard.
