The fighting was really fun. Being able to apply the techniques I'm studying was very rewarding. The after hours, um, gathering, was intense. Being asked by a herald to keep it down was a unique experience. I had the privilege of giving the DM Seneschal's Favor to Magdelena Suarez for her unending support and friendship. I really enjoyed giving her that small token of my immense gratitude. Thank you, Magdelena. I'm looking forward to next year. --Lord Eoghan ÓBriain
