Tournament Information

Greetings mighty hunters!

It is time for one of our great honor traditions, The Hunt! Sharpen your spears and ready your hounds
because the creatures you will face in these woods aren’t fluffy bunnies. Be wary of the noble Stag
whose great horns can pierce even the strongest of armor, dread the mighty Bear whose great strength
will overpower the biggest man, but the one that strikes fear into all brave hunters is the Boar with its
powerful tusks and bloodlust. This beast will not go down easily.

The heavy hunt will take place in the woods as in previous years, however due to site changes, access to
the hunting grounds will be different. This will be announced in court and there will be signs posted for
fighters.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL WHO WISH TO FIGHT MUST HAVE AN UP TO DATE FIGHTER CARD AND IT MUST BE SHOWN TO THE MARSHAELS WHO ARE RUNNING THE FIGHTING, ARMOR INSPECTIONS WILL BE DONE BY THE MARSHELS WHO ARE RUNNING THE FIGHTING ONLY UNLESS THE MIC HAS SAID OTHERWISE.

Rules and Scenarios:

The Hunters: Hunters will have a single life (a standard killing blow will kill you) due to the nature of the
hunt and the location arms and legs will not be counted. Hunters will be armed with a spear or another
thrust only weapon.

The Dogs: Dogs will have a single life (same rules for Hunters) they will have two daggers and can only
point and bark during the fighting.

The Stag: Stags will have three lives which means three standard killing blows must be struck before the
Stag will fall (the fighter will call out loud when stuck and will count down till he falls down dead). Stags
will use two long swords.

The Bear: Bears will have four lives (same rules apply for all animals when acknowledging blows). Bears
will use a two-handed great weapon.

The Boar: Boars have five lives (once again same rules as above) please note there will be no “boar rage” –
once the boar has been slain, it’s dead. Boars will use two mass weapons.

When a beast is killed, allow them to get up and retreat to the woods where a marshal will be located for
them to rez, when hunters and dogs are killed, they will return to the edge of the woods to rez.

Youth and Family Activities

The Youth Hunt

The call has gone out across the land for all of An Tir’s most nimble and courageous young hunters. Boars Hunt provides us a chance to do team battles in the woods. Youth will pair up into teams of three. One as a hunter with a great weapon, like a glaive or great axe, and two as dogs with daggers for teeth and claws. The teams will go thru the woods hunting for boar, stags and other animals. The animals will be adults with pool noodles. Weapons and swords will be provided and some youth loaner armor will also be available. Youth must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and submit a properly signed waiver (blank waivers will be available). YAC Fighter Authorization cards are not required to enter. The Youth hunt will begin shortly after the heavy fighting ends. Any heavy fighters willing to participate in our hunt as one of the animals will be rewarded with thanks, praise and the chance to be named best Youth Boar.
