The end of the parade will lead the Knight Hopefuls and their admiring fans to a large tent erected on the castle grounds, accessible by a bridge that....oh, bother! Even though they'd had the blacksmith put together a makeshift bridge since the trolls were on strike, it seemed the trolls had also gone and dismantled it in the middle of the night, and there was no way to cross the river to get the knights inside to start officially processing their paperwork and getting things underway!

The guards have asked anyone not a knight or not the blacksmith to stand back while they figure this out!
