Jeu des Bâtons Noirs

.

'Jeu des Bâtons Noirsis the Game of Sticks.

This unofficial practice occurs at many places across Avalon. It is generall bare knuckle fighting in an open format.

As described by a participant:

"At dusk you come here. Pay your gold. Then you enter the cemetery. You seek to find a baton. Like the one in that picture there . They are about a foot long . They are not weapons. They are made of balsa wood. From there you seek others. If they are visiting the dead, they won't have a baton. If they have a baton, they are fair game. Fight till one surrenders their baton. No weapons. Not even steel toed boots.You can stay till dawn. Collect as many batons as you can. You have to have a baton in hand but can pouch the others. Whenever you leave come here, or the Cafe across from the gate to the Lost Moon. You get a gold for each baton.You should know, Jeu des Bâtons Noirs is illegal, according the the Code Duello. While not quite illegal by Avalon Law its not... genteel. Not respectable. "

so, pay your gold, take your chances
