<p>Interactive story thread!</p>
<p><i>3 days before the the venture captains arrive, a stained Katapeshian blood bard hailing from Foreign Quarter in Absalom saunters into the camp. The place is already busy with men and beast. Great pens are being built onto Black Rock. Earth druids are transforming the black rock into the vast amphitheater, and long trains of vice ladened merchant caravans clog the eastern safe path.</p>
<p>The blood bard settles into one of the make-to betting and liquor stands. He watches the great black clouds boil on the horizon for a long while, his eyes glazed over with memory. Just before sunset, a shout is heard, and the camp turns to watch a dark ship appear on the horizon. It takes the ship over an hour to battle its way past the knives of black rock jutting out from the ocean, but the captain's skill is evident as the ship creeps an inevitable path into harbor. </p>
<p>From his bag he removes wooden pens, colored ink, and fine vellum. He hums a Dog Town gladiator dirge to himself, and sketches the ship's flag</i>.</p>
<p>Captain #1, introduce yourself!</p>Whoo hoo!

<p>Some of you have played in it during its long run at the convention (<i>heck, Gary McBride got in two years in a row—and made it to the finals each time</i>), and many monsters have shed their blood on that black rock. In 2010, my cohort in this event Brandon Hodge built an awesome piece of terrain for the tournament. That first year he shipped it to Seattle and since then we left it in the caring hands of Sean. Now that I’m working here, I see it sitting up on the shelf of the conference room any time I’m in there. Can’t wait to dust it off and get some monster on monster battles raging again for PaizoCon 2012! </p>
<p>The mighty sozin documented last year’s tournament and <a href=" http://paizo.com/forums/dmtz44mi?Green-Blood-on-Black-Rock-4711-tournament-report" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> put together an awesome report of the event</a>, so for those of you who haven’t experienced Green Blood on a Black Rock yet, know what you’re in for.</p>
<p>So, I’m posting this to see who got this event in their lottery? Sound off, free captains! Who’s sailing south of the Eye to pit their beastie against all comers for the right to say you’re the victor in 4712!?</p>
