The Field Kitchen & the Cooks
For our 10th Birthday it was decided that we should hold a Feast & Treasure Hunt to celebrate with a Anglosaxon / Viking period theme.
The event was held on 18th & 19th Oct 2008 in the Great Pine Forest at Kinglake West
Everyone will know what they 10 Holy Relics are at the start when the map is given out
but all of the clues and the map inforamtion is all in Anglo saxon Runes - which they will have to decipher on the map is an alphabet code key to help them.
As they found a relic there would be a clue board near by with the location of another relic in Anglosaxon Runes.
They wont know the number of the bonus relics or what these are - they will come to light when they stumble on to their clues.
- to keep those on the treasure hunters on their toes and as nervous as possible
Bears - some of the NVG younger teenage members dressed in fur hoods with bear ears and fur gloves to put on their hands - If the touched someone they were dead and Bears could not be attacked by the questers
Vikings warriors ( Karl, Gary, Dean ) attacking groups in the forest - these could be battled by the questers
Other Questing Parties - Questing Parties could way lay each other and take the relics
Safe Haven - this was the Monastery Tent any relic brought into the Monastery tent was safe
this was also a resurrection point for those who had been killed while questing - once they recieved a blessing from Brother Mappo they could go out again
