Description

Sign in

Forms should be filled in prior to the event (for your convenience). At the sign up table you can pay your 10$ entrance fee, get your weapons checked, as well as hand in the waiver and event registration portions of the registration form, a garbage bag (More garbage bags will be available at troll throughout the weekend) and a bracelet to show legal drinking age or non legal drinking age will also be handed out. The jugging sheet will be found at troll and teams may register anytime during the event. There will also be a vegan/vegetarian sign up sheet posted in troll for those who are interested.

Archery Tourney

This is a skill of Amtgard legal Archery equipment. Win your chance at the coveted Golden Arrow.

Ladies Favor

The ladies of BOTD choose 2 fighters to fight in their name. Each lady then sends out one of her 2 choices. With every win, the lady gains the losers fighters as "trophies". The winner of the ladies favor is determined by the lady with the most "trophies".

Company Battle

This is a non class battle game where you can pin your Company against others. Each company must have a banner. Try to keep your banner while capturing others by the end of hour long battle.

Bardic

This is your chance to hear or perform. Sing, dance, play an instrument tell a joke, or even a story. Everyone is welcome to take part or just merely listen in around the Bardic fire.

Champion of the Dens

This tournament holds different weapon styles. Points are awarded for each win, and the person with the most points is hailed as Champion of the Dens!

BOTD Capture the Flag

CTF is a long standing tradition in Wolven Fang, a tradition that BOTD was created around. You are placed in 1 of 3 forts with the rest of your team to capture as many of your opponents flags as possible while trying to fend off other flag hungry bases. And watch out for the Barbarian Hut, they're looking for any excuses to attack invaders of their land. This site will also be active with small, random quests, which is another way to score points for your team. Don’t forget about the “Red Assassin” he could bring your team luck if he’s captured or killed, but for every person from your team he kills, your team loses points. So join the battle to win your team the BOTD CTF Banner.

Quest

What can you expect from a BOTD quest? Quests with multiple ways to win, quests with side quests, quests with interesting characters to interact with, and an open atmosphere of Roleplaying you can’t find anywhere else. Year after year, BOTD holds some of the best quests ever!

Jugging Tourney

Jugging is the closest thing your going to get to an Amtgard sport. The “Dogskull” is placed in the middle of the field wich is surrounded by a circle. There is only 1 member of your team who can touch the dogskull. The “Quick” must attempt to grab it before his opponent’s Quick grabs it. They attempt to put the dogskull on the post at the opposite end of the field. A jugging team consists of the following members: a Quick, Shield, Heavy, Chain, and Slash. For further information on the game of jugging please visit:

or ask one of the representatives at the sign up table.

Spellweavers Competition

A competition for all magic wielders. Test casting skills in this spell slinging tournament! Bard, Druid, Healer, and of course Wizard.

Feast/Court/Auction

Along with two breakfasts and a lunch, your entry fee pays for a feast of flame-kissed smoky pork riblets, fresh garden variety salad, fried rice, French-Canadian style baked beans, and the finest carbonated non-alcoholic drinks on the market. Of course, a vegan/vegetarian meal will also be available. We then move onto WF's court where all awards will be handed out for the weekend, along with the governments awards. Then stay to help us raise money for next years BOTD by contributing or purchasing items at the auction. Popular items at BOTD's auction are Garb, weapons, jewelry and art !

Directions to the Site

BOTD is held at 236 Woodland Road in Wahnapitae, Ontario, on Paul Grylls' forested property.

Turn left. If you reach Red Deer Lake Road South you have gone too far. Go to Red Deer Lake Road NORTH section.

From 17 traveling East (from Sudbury)

Follow the road for abAout 4km (2.5 miles) until you reach Red Deer Lake Road NORTH. turn left. If you reach Red Deer Lake Road South, you have gone to far. Go to Red Deer Lake Road NORTH section.

From 69 traveling North (from Toronto)

Drive towards Sudbury until you see the turnoff for Wanap and Wahnapitae. This will be high way 537 on your right side. Drive down the road for a while. you will need to make a right turn on Red Deer Lake Road NORTH. You need to drive by Red Deer Lake Road South, so be careful and take Red Deer Lake Road NORTH. Continue with next section.

Red Deer Lake Road NORTH section

The rest of the trip from here is straight down the road for 6 km (less than 4 miles). After about 4 or 5 km, you will reach what appears to be some sort of fork in the road. To the right, Red Deer continues. You want to go straight onto Woodland. If you miss this "fork" (or keep going the correct way) you will arrive at a one-lane bridge. Cross the bridge, and begin looking for the address 236. (Entrance is at the bottom of a hill) Look for a Big Sign.
