The count thus far is around 70 fighters with the following Realms and/or units making a show, Aggelgorod, An Tir Dearg, Anduril, Desert Wind and of course ourselves with 'The Forsaken (Western Uruk Hai).

Wow! We have to pay Fugl Brenna back for not coming. I foresee a raid East in the near future.

Konradr

Since I am unable to attend today (Sunday) due to family obligations *sigh* I hope someone will post or PM me the details of how the fighting went today. And if you took pics and video's please post them as soon as you can so I can watch.

Your Information hungry Shepherd

Also let me say it now, You guys did Great! You were good hosts, and good fighters and many of those who came to Fool's Raid will remember their time spent this weekend with you. Everyone was wonderful.

I especially want to thank everyone who went the extra mile to do what needed to be done. Surt for your wonderful direction, guidance, PA voice and that gleaming smile, Smithy for all the Damn hard work you put into making this thing happen, and for keeping your cool in the face of insanity. Knubbs for the beautiful roster and running the check in without a hitch. To you weapon's checker who helped without complaint, Caretaker, Templar and Sasquatch. Thank you to all who volunteered to Herald, Surt, Smithy, Strider, Knubbs, Kismet and Stefana come to mind, but I'm sure there were others. Thank you to all who brought water, drinks, snacks, whatever you had to share with us and our guests. Thank you to one and all for coming with smiles, fighting with honor, not complaining, and helping our guests when they needed something.

Thank you also, to the Forsaken for their willingness to help with weapons checking, heralding and fighting. It was a pleasure to have you serve alongside of us.

Wish I could be there today. I want to fight. I'm tired of my little one's arguing and bickering while they await the egg hunt and Easter baskets. *sigh* See you all next weekend.

Konradr

Thank you list... (yes I'm searching for your names on the forum cause I can't remember...)
