So, today's Renfest report. With picspam. Part one: Chess game.

I was very much expecting to see bob_the_mighty.

No Bob. Vanished, apparently. In his place was Not-Bob.

I was very much expecting to see atdt1991.

No Scott. And I have forgotten to program his number into my phone.

So I spent today wandering. And talking to my incredibly dear friend bookwench2096, but since she's there to work, I have to keep it short and sweet.

I did take some pics, though.

I finally got to see the human chess game. I came in halfway. Queen Elizabeth was playing a game against King Phillip and if he won, they were to marry.

Each time a "chess piece" was to attempt to take another chess piece, they would clear the board and battle it out.

Here are two guards attempting to best King Phillip's Knight.

---

He defeats one, which leaves the Scot.

---

The Spaniard wins. Mmm. Thigh.

---

The Gravedigger is called upon to defeat the men who were standing in the Queen spot...yes, the Queens.

---

The Gravedigger did not fare well.

---

Then King Phillip's...gardener? I think, goes against one of Elizabeth's guards. Love the "come get some" hand motion.

---

It's a hard-fought battle, but the guard wins. Mmm...hair.

---

The Spaniard then fights Sydney. She's happy to oblige.

---

---

Make that very happy to oblige.

---

So now only the Queens stand in King Phillip's way.

---

They are, of course, victorious.

---

King Phillip concedes defeat. (Heh...the Half-Blood Prince has a few more tricks up his sleeve...)

---

Queen Elizabeth is relieved.

The chess game was the highlight for me, honestly. I enjoyed it so much!

He totally looked like the Burger King. It was kind of eerie.
