OOC: I'm aiming for this time for the tournament: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ ... T20&p1=263Blessed are those who charge into battle with the Maiden of Pain in their hearts, for they fear no pain and strike boldly.
To celebrate how Loviatar inspires this strength in the hearts of her faithful, a tournament will be held on the tournament grounds of the Westgate fighter's guild (Gilded Lance) to find the Champion of Pain.
All but faith enemies are welcome to participate - either as contestant or as spectator.
The tournament will go by the following rules:
- No armor. Meaning both no physical and no magical armor
- No healing unless the healing also causes pain in the other contestant.
- No spells that cause instant death. This tournament is about pain, not killing.
- Fights will continue until one contestant can no longer stand the pain and falls unconscious.
No healing will be provided after the fights, but there is a shrine to the Maiden nearby and contestants may drag themselves there and praise Her, knowing the pain they feel has been inflicted to please Her.
- The winner of a fight will advance to the next round.
Contestants are encouraged to bring their own (non armor) attire to cover their body or fight naked (those pleasing to the eye may especially consider this option).
Contestants may also bring as many weapons (magical and mundane) as they can carry.
After the new Champion of Pain has been found there will be a feast (with plenty of food and drink) in Loviatar's honor on the tournament grounds.
Those interested in participating are to sign up with Amira Syria either in person or through amulet or post so fights can be drawn ahead of time.
Let us charge boldly into battle, let us welcome the pain, let us praise the Maiden and find a new Champion of Pain!
If there are any issues with having access to the place, please let me know. We'll move the place then.
