The Sequel: Revenge of the Stitch — April 24-26
A long time ago, in a barony far, far away…
Blows were thrown, seams were sewn, and a lucky few emerged victorious from the fray. But there was unrest across the land—those who did not win their battles thirsted for another chance to prove their worth. Secretly, they plotted through the winter months; training with sword and needle. Now their chance has come to strike a blow and find redemption at Revenge of the Stitch!
