Borgia Feast
August 22, 2009
Canton of Caer Darth (Santa Cruz, CA)
The Event
Come join Lucrezia Borgia along with her friends and associates for a day of Live Chess,
Merriment and a Fabulous Feast but beware there is poison in the air. Come and see who
will be the last one standing in this game of trust and betrayal. Do you have a talent
(such as juggling, slight of hand tricks, a short song) that could be used as a diversion
while others are poisoned? Come to the feast and have others pay you in poison, antidotes
or even lives for said talent. For those that wish to come and watch the spectacle, items
will be provided to ensure your safety. There will be a cap of 70 tickets sold. This
year’s Head Cook is Zinaida Or”shinaia. The theme for the feast is Silk Road (Menu to
follow soon). No Flames or Hard Alcohol allowed on-site.

right then by tearing up the “Life Card”. Otherwise you will be considered dead.
-
If you are caught when attempting to "poison" any food or drink you will be brought to justice and your fate will
be deterimined by the "Judges" at the High Table. A suitable punishment will be determined and then you are executed.
You are now dead.
