Thanks to you for organising this too. Nice venue. Not a real pleasant drive
home, though (although that's probably mostly a function of the car...)

James did too. All it took was for me to say "Whatever you do, don't make
James lose count.".
The official count was 543 combatants, plus a number of non combatants to
add colour (a Bay Watch Babe, a hooker, three hikers, et al). And a bunch of
railway unionists who arrived after the carnage was completed (and mostly
cleared away).

The original references to 'Vlad the Implyer' as the leader of the THMM
(Tediously Hackneyed Medieval Mercenaries) my well be the result of partial
deafness: Apparently, one nearly dead THMM said to another 'What did that
vampire just do? And who was he anyway?'. The soon-to-be corpse answered
concisely 'Fled. The employer'. The rest is history. Or perhaps history-like.
