A bandon of crimson-clad soldiers in shining mail march into sight. As one, they come to a halt and one steps forward unfurling a scroll bearing the golden wyvern of Ta'Vaalor. In a sonorous tone, she recites:


Greetings from the Lord Chamberlain of Ta'Vaalor.

His Majesty King Qalinor Vaalor the Sovereign Leader of the Crimson Legions has instructed me to announce the biannual Festival of the Fallen will take place beginning on the 9th day of Imaerasta, and concluding on the 12th day of Imaerasta at the festival grounds outside of Ta'Vaalor. Join us as we honor all those who have passed beyond the ebon gate. As in years past, a tournament will be held in the arena pitting the best the lands against one another in combat. The Crown wishes to invite any who may be inclined to participate in the tournament to keep an eye out for future missives regarding entry.

Without hesitation, she stows the scroll and steps back as the remaining soldiers begin stepping in time with her and the bandon marches out of sight.


OOC NOTE: September 9 - 12
An official event schedule will be put up asap!

Hey, I've dug into the fighting pit scripts some to help answer some of the questions for you, but it was a quick glance before heading back to doing real work stuff, so it's not comprehensive.

If you're familiar with Helden Hall's fighting pit, it works the same.

* Strips outside spells as you hit the portal
* Removes 712, 515, 1720, and 425 as you hit the portal
* The FotF arena is set to let in 2 fighters, one at a time
* You're immobilized until both parties are in the arena
* Once both parties are in, the announcer counts down the start, and when it's time to go, you're mobile again and can do your spells, etc.


Observation Chambers:
* Once in the viewing box, you can peer through the window, and now you'll be watching the arena
* You can YELL and the combatants will hear you

Blocked spells in the arena:
425, 316, 1630, 635, 501, 1706, and 240

At my quick glance, I can't quite tell if it will let you use imbeds/scrolls, but I'll try to look deeper later.

ack i didnt see the old thread.

>I would honestly like to petition for a change to the 425 rule. I do not see how this makes sense.

I can pass it along to the script owner so they can determine if they want to review (and I'm assuming Dev would need to weigh in). I'm only passingly familiar with it because of once being the CHE GM and then recently looking it over for other reasons, so no clue as to what went into the decisions, etc. I wouldn't count on any changes for this event, however.

>>It does not work the same as Helden's pit!

Sorry for the misspeak then -- the notes say it is built off that, but yes, it looks like the 'mobile' (aka non-Helden) versions do have some different rules.

Any suggestions for the Coliseum can come to my email. GS4-Valyrka@play.net.

At this point, things won't be able to change for this year, but I can look at some updates for next time. Right now it is running as it did the last time we held the event.

>Are the games open?

The path stops at the infirmary - so if they are supposed to be open, then there is a problem. Otherwise, I guess they are closed.

Thanks for the response.
