Some shots from a couple of weeks ago at Order of the Blade's Telford chapter. In some of them I even look like I know what I'm doing.

Three fighters during the group battles, heading of for their next fight, eliminated fighters can be seen in the background.
Some more photos from the muster by @agentbsmith.bsky.social These include shots from the two weapon fighting seminar and the group battles at the end of the day. I was dead by the end of it, but it was so much fun.

Photos from the new hobby, taken by @agentbsmith.bsky.social at the Order of the Blade Midlands Muster in March 2025. These are some of my favourites that were taken (because most of them make me look like I know what I'm doing), I still love that shield to my face though, what a shot.

Here's hoping it all goes well and you find some new buyers, shouldn't be too difficult with your beers.
