BARONY OF BODLINGTONE, KINGDOM OF BODLANDIA – A splinter group of militant archers from across the Knowne World have broken into the Society for Creative Anachronism Board of Directors boardroom and taken the entire Board of Directors hostage, demanding the immediate creation of an archery peerage.
The SCAllion is currently at the scene as law enforcement have surrounded and sealed off the area and laid what can only be described as siege in order to force the small group of archers to surrender and release their hostages. Captain Andrew Burton released this statement: “We are currently in contact with the group inside and they have assured us they have not harmed any of the hostages at this time. Their list of demands isn’t very long, and we’re still trying to make sense of it. Their main demand is a new ‘Peerage’ for archers. We frankly don’t know what that means, and we’re going to be ramping up the pressure soon to try to force their hand.”
The SCAllion was able to briefly contact one of the archers inside via cell phone, and received this from them: “Come on, we’ve waited long enough! The fencers get a peerage and we don’t? We’re a larger community with a longer history! The BoD needs to make this happen and quit jerking us around! We only want equality!”
The SCAllion will remain on the scene until this crisis is resolved.
