To my guests and retainers,

At last your day of revelry is upon us. One of your own will soon be raised up.

Albel Nox, you will find my staff in the library. They are at your service.

A pleasant day to you all.

Deior, Lord of Holloways Keep.




OOC: There will be a closed log shortly, but from this point on, all bets are off :> Happy hunting.

My dear guests,

At long last, I bring you the names of the Archery contest winners. A three way tie in first place stands to claim all but one of the fine rooms on offer. The fourth winner stood but one point behind.

Mister Varric Tethras, Ms Te Ata Stonefeather, Ms Talia and the young man known as Kid; I congratulate you on your victory.

The Stable-Master will bring you each a key. These keys will open the doors to rooms on the third floor of the Stable Tower. They are yours to do with what you will, within reason.

Your humble host,
Deior.



(ooc: Each room fits the build of your standard 3 or 4 star hotel, minus the electronics. There's a fireplace, wash basin, writing desk and clothing chest, along with a canopied bed just big enough for two (one might have to squish a little...). By the window is a seat that one might sit and look out across the grounds at their leisure. There is no bathroom, but at the end of the hall is a slightly larger than usual one for occupants of the four rooms to share.

Final scores were as follows:

Varric: (+12) 7, 7, 9 | 35
Te Ata: (+12) 7, 7, 9 | 35
Talia: (+12) 9, 5, 9 | 35
Kid: (+12) 7, 10, 5 | 34

Ryn: (+7) 7, 9, 10 | 33
Claudia: (+7) 10, 7, 5 | 29
Kloe: (+7) 3, 10, 9 | 29
Lily: (+7) 5, 5, 10 | 27
Lara: (+7) 7, 7, 5 | 26
Megamind: (+7) 5, 1, 7 | 20
Sarea: (+5) 9, 0, 5 | 19
Kairi: (+0) 0, 5, 9 | 14
Raven: (+0) 1, 5, 7 | 13

The scores within brackets were bonus points given depending on how much experience with a bow or firearm the character had. The rest were decided by diceroll and entirely random!)

Honourable guests and retainers,

In celebration of the Lunar New Year, I will be holding a New Year’s tournament. People of any rank or experience are invited to compete in this display of martial mastery. The prize purses include rooms within the Stable Tower, prizes of a personal significance, and the title and privileges of Lord of the Keep for one day.

Events will include archery, the joust and the melee.

The tournament will open with the New Year’s feast in seven days, and reveller or performer, competitor or spectator, you are all welcome to attend.

Your humble host

Deior, Lord of Holloway’s Keep.



OOC Details

That’s right, we’re kicking off this move with a bang! Spaced out over the weeks after the move there will be a number of martial events - with prizes! - including both archery and jousting.

But that’s not all.

We’d like to announce that as part of the New Year Tournament, our first-ever Fourth Wall Day will take place on Saturday the 11th of February.

Why are we announcing this so early? Good question!

This is not going to be just any fourth wall day.

Any characters taking part in fourth wall day will also be invited to take part in the game’s tournament melee. It will be a mock battle where the only “mock” part is which side you happen to be on, run party-log style for any character or public figure, guest or visitor who chooses to show up.

Obviously there will be some small restrictions applied to ensure fairness, and these will be outlined clearly on the melee post itself, but in brief they are:

∝ All powers are cut to ¼ of their canon strength
∝ All weapons are set to stun/crowd-control (laser weaponry, guns, tasers, projectiles etc) or else blunted (bladed weapons) so that they won’t kill with a single hit.
∝ Only guests will be eligible for melee prizes. So if your character gets knocked out by a fourth wall character, don’t sweat it. You could still be up for a prize.
∝ No mun journals. Only characters or public figures may take part. Your characters are going to remember this, after all.

No visitor sign-ups are necessary. Anyone who doesn’t want to take part in the melee is welcome to make a normal fourth wall post so that they don’t miss out.

We'll be holding guest sign-ups once we've moved, if not a little before, as for some events we'll need to sort you into teams or pairs.

In the mean time, your characters might like to get some practice in.
deior: (Are you afraid of the dark?)
My dear Guests,

I regret to inform you that the walls of our stronghold have been breached. The day has not dawned and now, any unlit passage or path may lead only to danger and a slow death.

My staff will keep several fires lit throughout the grounds, in the Great Hall, at the bonfire, and in your own Common Hall. I urge you to join them and remain there for as long as this night lasts. If you must wander, do not go alone, and always carry with you a light so that you may see that the passage around you remains. I cannot be held responsible for what may befall you, should you stray too far from a light.

Deior, Lord of Holloways Keep.
