On Friday night, the village of Stretton was invaded and burned to the ground. The villagers fled in all directions.
Brave Gareth Thrompson rallied them to make a valiant effort against the attackers, and to attend to the wounded.
By Saturday evening, most of the villagers had gathered for safety at the Black Plowe, the one remaining structure in the village.
Children gathered to play, and tend cooking fires, while the adults discussed the events of the evening before.
Good father William prayed for the safety of the goodfolk of Stretton.
Food was foraged from the sacked village.
And cooking was begun.
When suddenly, Godwyn, the innkeepers son, came running across the bridge, warning to villagers of the approach of armed men.
That's when the plot thickened. Sir Walter of Admound posed as a good guy, and claimed Gareth was really an outlaw, but by the end we determined that he was the one who ordered the sacking of the village and that Gareth was our hero all along, and the right people were freed from the dungeon and there was much rejoicing and eating of food. Or something along those lines.

Sounds lovely! I wish I could have been there :-)
Wow, great recap! Thanks
Out of interest... Why'd you choose to post the worst possible picture taken of me that entire day?
