Tongue-in-cheek humour and light-hearted parody. Love it.

now i need a banner and a motto.. you raise the bar.. :)

I raise a glass to Robert the Quick, my commenter-in-arms

Great entry, especially as the first one. Love the combination of pride/humility here. Nicely done and good luck in the challenge.

Love it! The second paragraph is my favorite. An I love the word cunning. It’s just so… cunning. This was a really good blend of medieval-type language and humor.

Very clever! A great way to open the challenge.

This was a good one to open the competition. Even and neutral, to a point.

Sir Robert, I thank you for being the first to arrive.
A sense of place is easily felt with this piece, the characters are light and jovial. I found the POV to be slightly confusing: I read it initially as 3rd person.
Thank-you for setting the stage for us all!

Ah, it feels so good to comment again. I’ve been saving up for the Tournament. []o)

There is always a clarity to your work that I admire. Even with something as simple and silly as this competition, you’ve said a lot with a little.
