Wargames

Post by Briek » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:21 pm

Calling all knights, squires, men at arms and any spoiling for an opportunity to sharpen your their skills.

Wargames are to be held at the Kobold tower, the purpose of which is to develop leadership skills in squires and
offer a chance for practice at arms for everyone involved. There is no entry fee required if you wish to participate
merely appear at the anointed time.

Sir Liric and myself are also looking for two able bodied healers wishing to assist, if you are willing then please
contact either of us.

Briek
High Knight of Tyr
OOC

It's a King of the Hill style wargame but instead of defending a position, you'll be defending cargo, the other team will be attackers

Each team member may use any equipment they like except something that fires off and AoE spell

Spellcasters must not use AoE spells

Each team will have a "safe zone" with a healer standing by(will need two volunteers)

when a player is stunned, any unstunned player in the same room must aid immediately

once a player has been aided he must "play dead" for 2 minutes by using the sleep command

no "dead" character is to be attacked

Any Red team member may carry the key, the chest or the cargo

The red team is not obliged to use the chest

if any member of the red team is carrying any key item(key item = chest, key, or cargo) they must carry it in their inventory and if defeated drop it once aided

The blue team will be informed of what they are looking for in detail

no red team member may alter the cargo ITSELF(what I mean by this is changing that specific objects form)

any red or blue team leader must keep marshals informed OOC of any plans to trick the enemy so dice rolls can be made.

This sounds like a great time. I don't know what my schedule will be like, but I'd certainly like to participate.

Had heard this might be happening and have been looking forward to it but I work during it. Maybe next time! Tell me how it goes!

Lylena would be open to either participation or as a healer.

Sir Harroghty could possibly attend. I will do my best to bring him, but probably not as a combatant unless teams are really short; better, I think, if he helps out somehow else. Please keep me in mind for a marshal or something like that.

I usually play day-to-day but if I am available Gwain can probably provide healing.

The plan was that Liric and I each attach ourselves to one team, if we were to coordinate with you and you handled the area wide stuff then if numbers were low liric and myself could each assist a team as well.

I feel pretty confident about being able to show up. Use me as you need me. Thanks for organizing this. Should be fun.

Well, that was an epic battle if I ever saw one! That was a blast, even with the slight misfortune. Thank you for setting this up, and thank you for all that attended!

Likewise, this was a pretty awesome event. Looking forward to more in the future with added/conceded rules/terms. Sorry stuff poofed.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend. Unfortunately there were some.. issues with my roommate that had to be addressed.

I'm really disappointed I didn't get to attend and hope this will happen again as I was really looking forward to it.

I wasn't there but I'll throw a thank you over to you guys anyway! I'm glad this was done even if I couldn't attend. It looks like I'll be working during Jarris's tourney coming up as well so thanks in advance for running it! Hopefully I'll be free for an event eventually! :D
