[ Town criers visit all cities on the first level to make the following known to the citizens of Yliakum ]
Hear ye! Hear ye!
The annual Octarchal Festival shall take place in Hydlaa, the capital! [TONIGHT! (at 22:00 GMT)]
As you all well know, the festival was conceived with a threefold purpose. There shall be a tournament to unite all the brave warriors; there shall be a market to unite all the diligent merchants and workers! And finally there shall be entertainment and beer for all the good townfolk!
Sign up now for the tournament! The prize is the Champions Sword, the prize of the Octarch!
At the end of the duels, the final fight will take place against last year's champion, the current bearer of the Champions Sword.
This year we will be introducing the Golden Mug Award for excellent salesmanship. It will be presented to the most successful merchant. There are a number of stalls built and awaiting for merchants to fill them and compete for this vaunted prize!
Come to Hydlaa and take part in the GREAT Octarchal Festival!
[
Rules for the tournament:
- The Tournament will be a single round elimination contest where the winner advances to another duel. Both participants of the duel start with full health (no potions, no magic, no long distance healing), and will fight till defeat.
- If a player is not present for their match this is considered an automatic forfeiture on the part of the absent player. If at that time a spectator wishes to take the place of the non showing player they may do so, and the round continues. If there are none who wish to take their place, the present participant shall be named victor of that round.
- Any contestant who lands a fatal blow shall be disqualified from this tournament.
- There shall be no magic or items used during the duel. It is to be a battle of strength and skill.
- There shall be as many duels going as we have referees for. The referee shall watch from close by to keep an eye on their contenders and report to the judge the result.
- At the completion of one duel another one shall start, until upon completion we have a Champion.
- Referee will group with the two players before start of duel, so the referee can monitor the stats of the players. This is to rule out cheating and to confirm the winner to /tell the findings to the GM who will shout the winner to the audience.

To reach as many people as possible in this time it is posted in General Discussion, after the event the post will be moved to the according forum. We hope for a lot of participation! :sorcerer: ~Kerol ]

The bazaar and games went well next to the Laanx Temple as well. A little surprise has been left behind the Temple for those who missed the event, though will be removed in a few days when Jirosh sends his workers to get his things back...

Nice screenies, the camera seems to love Vannaka. :thumbup:
-
Nice screenshots! Even those without Orgonwukh :P
-
Oooooh! Photographic evidence of Eurac running unlicensed games at The Ochtarchs Annual Festival. [Please tell me screenies are OOC].
Eurac keeps an eye out for The Hydlaa Guard. :whistling:
-
Hehe, Eurac, Yliakum doesn't have photography :P
-
where was the apple stand???? I thought i walked around the whole thing?
Next to the "foods & drinks" stand between two pillars of the Temple of Laanx.
She planned to have fires too, to draw attention and to let people grill their apples if they want, however the torch refused to burn when fixed onto the table (dropped).
-
I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the event. I had fun too, even if it was a bit hectic at times. Who knew caps were so popular? ;) I hope everyone who wanted one got one. If not, let's hope for a "next time"!
-
I wonder if it is possible to construct a tent with those carpets, or use them as roofs for some of those ruins around the BD region. Are they waterproof?
-
Carpets? I'd rather just have a tent. Too bad they weren't buyable. :P

This year we will be introducing the Golden Mug Award for excellent salesmanship. It will be presented to the most successful merchant. There are a number of stalls built and awaiting for merchants to fill them and compete for this vaunted prize!
I'm kinda curious about this, since it was never mentioned after the end of the event... Who was the lucky winner of this award?
-
The players dispersed before that part of the event came to pass, so the mug was not awarded.
-
Sounds like a rematch is needed :thumbup:
