Merry Xmas ....


On Xmas eve morning, there are a few merry fellows out side the inns near the centre of Wittenberg...
About mid-day after a flurry of snow the King, Queen and a couple of their children along with the palace llamas have gone into Wittenberg for a walkabout (after distributing alms to the poor)

A Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to All

In the Outer part of the Sackwald forest...

In the village of Eisern some way into the Sackwald forest; the local witches queue up to get their licenses renewed ....

They started their investigations in a farm near the village of Esiern where they stopped to see if the some of a farmer's sheep actually did sing; the shepherd lined up the best four - after a few bleats and baahs, they sang quite beautifully

 Ba ba ba ba Bar-ba-ra Ram Bar-ba-ra Ram 

 Ba ba ba Bar-ba-ra Ram Ba ba ba ba Bar-ba-ra Ram

Meanwhile, the infamous outlaw and bandit Red Jack with some of his cronies have moved into the Sackwald forest ...
Tracking them are a detachment of the King's jagers, led by Captain Scharfe; he has stopped at a cottage to enlist the help of his friend Esme the witch; to see if she could help find the outlaws
Always willing help a friend, she takes off on her broom to have a look round ...

One of the Fenwick camps...




[I recently threw away all my old paper hand-made tents and replaced them with Renedra ones, so a chance to get the new look camp items out on the table with some vignette bits.]
