Puzzle Box Treasure Hunt – At a designated time participants will be allowed to search the woods for specially placed boxes. These boxes have been magically rigged to open only to those who can solve the puzzle combination that seals them shut. Some may have aa few as a couple of silver, some may have over a hundred gold. ONE will have a magical item within that well be well worth its trouble…

Hunting – The troubled woods of Lockshire are overrun with Bear, Wolves, Boar and Deer. Whomever ends the day with the most trophies gathered from these animals will win the title “Hunt Master of Travance, 1210” and a suitable prize.

Bounties - While we hold our festivities in Lockshire, all who are capable are encouraged to bring justice and relief to the hamlet. Many wanted posters adorn the inn walls. This is an opportunity for you to pay back the people of Lockshire for their hospitality as well as collect on a well-earned reward.

Travance is looking for a volunteer to oversee the festival as a master of ceremonies. This simply includes keeping an eye on the schedule of events, gathering contestants, and overseeing the events. Volunteers will be well paid by the barony and can apply for the position by sending a note to the baronial offices (PM: Gallion) You will only be contacted back if you have been chosen to preside over the events. Thank you.
