Drag,
I would like to tell you all the information you need to know, but unfortunately I cannot. For I do not know the answers to your questions. Perhaps you should find Belrog and ask him these things.

Iqloo,
Which big word? Competition?

Best regards,

Hello all!

Veralion:
Good to hear that you are entering. And godspeed, good friend.

Note:
I come with new information from Belrog concerning the specifics of the tournament.

The time has been decided for 6 pm central and will be held near the Ceremony Cave. For those of you that do not know, that is just east of where the mummies reside. Some of the basic rules for the tournament are:

The Ring-out Rule-If you proceed to leave the ring then you automatically forfeit the match. Do not worry too much though, the field is 7x10 in size so that this will not be turned into some push-fest.

No healing potions or mana potions are to be used in matches. This is probably to hasten the matches so they do not take too long.

I assume that food is allowed, even though it may not be very useful, I did not get a clear answer from Belrog, so bare with me on that one.

Also, this rule somewhat came into play after discussing the Ring-out rule.
Wearing two shields into combat is NOT allowed. This is to prevent people from being simply pushed out of the ring. A similar rule applies to the mage's division. The paralysis spell is NOT allowed. This, again, is to prevent someone from merely pushing someone else out of the ring.

That is all for now. Thank you for your time, keep your entries coming!

Best regards,

Drogla,
I am very sorry that I mistook you for your father's identity. I suppose maybe I see a certain similarity between the two of you. Please forgive my sudden impulse as it was clearly a redundant mistake. I have been very entangled in many issues as of late and I believe it is affecting my thought process.

With best wishes,

Despite my lack of participation I wish to make a few comments. In all my experience I have found that not using potions increases the length of fights. Secondly I strongly believe that the yeg kel spell should be permitted.

Cain Freemont · Post by **Cain Freemont** » Sun Dec 01, 2002 10:03 am

Korwin,

I am aware of this and I do not know Belrog's reasons behind decided against potions and such. Yeg Kel, however, is restricted from use so that no one will just paralyze the opponent and drag them out of the ring, as that would be dishonorable and this tournament is about honor. I will talk with Belrog when and if I get the chance before the tournament about the permitting of potions.

Sincerely,
