The writing on the runestone is a stylized Cyrillic font made to look like Norse runes. In Russian, it reads "In the ????? summer on the seventh day of May, on this spot, a skilled warrior slayed a dragon with a spear."
It's modern Cyrillic, stylized to look like runes, and reads "In the ????? summer on the seventh day of May, on this spot, a skilled warrior slayed a dragon with a spear."
If it was some guy spying on this group without permission, then sure, shoot it down. But if it was someone who worked with the renaissance fair who was just filming the event for a showcase, then…
If i recall correctly, they had been asked politely not to fly the drone because (a) it's over people which is a big no no, and (b) it was a medieval fair and was thus distracting, but they then completely ignored the request, so it got speared. I've seen videos from the ground where everyone is cheering, so seems like a death by general consensus as opposed to one person just deciding to destroy it.

From the context of the event it should be 2016.

What happened? Aliens of course.

What's written around it? That might be an explanation.

On the one hand, I low-key love this. On the other hand: why tho? Was the drone really bothering people that much?
RooGryphon
perhaps it was a drone that was not authorized to be flying at the time

Tough to pretend you're in the middle ages with a robot buzzing around over your head.
NeverShaveYourDuck
Point taken. It could kill the mood if it was that audible.

the way that was thrown looks like it could have ended badly if he missed
HighMagosSquidward
It appears that he's throwing away from the group so I think it's okay. Hell of a good throw, you can see it keeps its arc right up tip impact.

I assume they were responsible enough to only throw toward the open grass

I think it’s kind of dickish to destroy someone else’s $1000+ property for the sake of roleplay.

OR, it's kind of dickish to deploy a $1000 property to interfere with other people's afternoon. Who's right, who's wrong, and who cares.
