Jonathan Blackbourne will formally announce everyone into the Hall.  Upon completion of these announcements, Zahir, will begin to host the nights festivities.

The Big Prize!
Throughout the evening you will be able to win tickets for a raffle that will be held at the conclusion of the ball.  The raffle will be for a mystery item that will only be reveled at the ball!  Come see what wonder you might be able to win!

The Lucky Bastard Casino, run by Lathien, has been commissioned to set up a casino at the ball.  The Lucky Bastard Casino will have numerous games at the ball including:

You will be able to play any of these games for as little as 1 silver piece each!  

If you find yourself short of money, Lathien will be looking for workers for the casino all night long!  You can work for as little as 1 hour or all night!  Send Lathien a message (PM to Inajira) if you are interested in working.  Lathien will be sure to pay top coin for your services, and in addition any person who works the entirety of the night will get bonus pay in addition to their regular pay!  

Talent  Contest
Due to the rampant talent of the townspeople of Travance, we shall be holding a talent competition.  This can be any form of talent from singing to juggling!  

If you plan to enter this competition, please contact Zahir in advance with what you plan on doing.  Please keep the performance in good taste, supply your own tools needed to perform, and keep the performance to a maximum of 3 minutes in length. Due to the nature of the Hall, all performances need to be held indoors. Please plan accordingly.  

Third place will win 2 tickets, second place will win 3 tickets, and first place will win 4 tickets AND a magical trinket!

Storytelling Contest
When this contest is announced, the contestants are going to regale the panel of judges with their stories of adventure, romance and comedy!  The storyteller with the most panache is going to walk away with the victory!

Third place will win 2 tickets, second place will win 3 tickets and first place will win 4 tickets AND a magical trinket!

Poetry Contest
When this contest is announced, the contestants are going to recite their own poetry in front of a panel of judges!  You may NOT recite someone else's poetry, write it yourself!

Third place will win 2 tickets, second place will win 3 tickets and first place will win 4 tickets AND a magical trinket!

Dancing!
Once again this year Dame Hartwoode will be offering dance instruction and dancing for everyone. No previous knowledge of dance is necessary to have fun, just bring two feet and a smile to the main hall and we shall dance the night away! You can bring your own partner or we will find you one when and if the need arises. There will be two sessions, the first starting at 7PM and the second at 10PM.

Werewolf Game
Initially a test for young men to see if they had the intuition to be become a witch hunter, it is now a game of deception, paranoia and mob rule. A vengeful group of villagers must find out among them who is a werewolf (before it is too late).  

Will you be the vengeful villager who must choose one among you to be lynched,
Or will you be the werewolf, killing the villagers with impunity in the night,
Or will you be the Witch Hunter, who may or may not have the edge and save the town while slaughtering the vile lycanthrope.

Play the game, pull your card and enter the game of Werewolf!

The bank of Travance will be available to a limited degree. The count will front his own personal gold for the withdrawals, but he will only have so much coin with him, so he may impose limitations on withdrawals at his discretion.

ALSO!

There is another way that has been added for attendants to win raffle tickets!

History Trivia!
Either the Count himself, or one that he appoints will have a list of history and worldly question. Anyone can ask to attempt to answer a question. After the question is presented to you, you will have one minute to give your answer. If you guess the answer correctly, you will receive one ticket. Each attendee may only attain two tickets in this manner and may only be asked up to four separate questions. Study up on your basic history of both the old world, and the new! Any further details on this game will be announced here. ((OOG- lores or skills are not guaranteed to give any benefit))

Costume Contest
Every person at the ball is in the running for “Best Costume” of the evening!  A secret panel of judges will be judging the costumes all evening, best of luck! Third place will win 1 ticket, second place will win 2 tickets and first place will win 3 tickets!
