Tournament: One Above All III

Post by S'rrt »

Image

THE TOURNAMENT RETURNS ONCE AGAIN!
((Link: Player's registration form))

This time the tournament offers quite the varied selection of events, including some updated classics as well as new ones entirely!

Just like the previous iterations, this tournament is carefully designed to allow warriors, archers and mages to face each other on equal terms in various challenging situations. This time, martial arts is also included as a category!
  • Standardized equipment: All armors, weapons and shields are freshly bought and unused from town vendors (some may be reused from previous tournaments)
  • Several events: Each with their own rules, Champions and prizes, culminating in the final battle for the ultimate title: One Above All
  • Strictly no contraband (depending on the event): Any and all cheating will be noticed, and violators will be shamed and forever branded as "Dastard" (a.k.a. a coward)
  • Inclusion and harmony: Wanted criminals are allowed to compete and spectate but they will be removed immediately at the first sign of trouble!

Currently there are 9 total combatants across all 6 events
If there aren't enough combatants present for an event, that event may be postponed.

Location of the events: Blood Circle arena, Cadomyr
Follow the road east from Cadomyr's front gate and cross the river.


Main Events
  • Anyone can sign up for as many main events as they like, but winning in one championship immediately excludes them from other main events
  • The Champions of each main event will fight each other for the ultimate title: One Above All
  • In the ultimate title fight, contestants are allowed to use any and all of their equipment to achieve victory, EXCEPT healing potions
Swashbuckling Championship
A classic event where the contestants fight using a standard one-handed sword but wear no armor.

Malachin's Hunt Championship
An updated old event where not only do the contestants receive weapons and armor randomly, but in an unprecedented twist there is also a monster attacking them! The monster should be of no real danger to anyone who fancies themselves a fighter, but mixed in with facing the opponent it will surely ruin a plan or two.

Nargun's Armory Championship
A brand new event where the types of weapons and armor used are determined by simply rolling dice! Let's hope Nargun is on your side and doesn't put you in heavy armor while the opponent receives a blunt weapon... But then again, you may prevail due to your sheer physical prowess!

Extra Events
  • Anyone can sign up for as many extra events as they like
  • The Champions of each extra event will receive a prize but aren't included in the ultimate title fights
Archery Championship
Contestants compete by shooting at target dummies with standard bows.

Magic Championship
Contestants fight using their own wand, glyphed jewelry and gemmed equipment. Mana potions will be provided for free but no other potions are permitted. Using melee attacks or archery is also forbidden.

Martial Arts Championship
The first ever unarmed championship in the history of the tournament! No weapons, no armor, no other aid; just you, your body and the opponent!


Take a copy of the REGISTRATION FORM ((<-- Link)) and send it to Sir S'rrt K'shire via the mailing method of your choice, be it a dove or courier! Please also send any questions you may have.
The first event is set to take place SOON so please sign up quickly! It is also possible to compete by showing up at any event and announcing your interest in competing.

((The dates will be finalized in a couple of days. Players have had ample time to sign up their character through the postings on Discord and the OOC forum. If you still haven't registered your character yet, please do it as soon as you're done reading this! Otherwise your character may not be able to compete. Outlaw and even villain characters are allowed to appear at the events, but anyone disrupting the event will be reported to the GM and asked to be removed.))

Malachin's Hunt Announcement

Post by S'rrt »

Due to an erroneus contestant registration form, Nargun's Armory Championship will be held at a later date. Instead, the first event in the same exact time slot will be...
First Main Event: Malachin's Hunt Championship

Time: Noon of 19th Bras ((Sunday 4. August, 8pm server time))

Place: Blood Circle Arena, Cadomyr

Follow the road east from the Cadomyr teleporter and cross the river

Details
  • In this event, there will be a number of bags containing weapons and armor around the ring. The amount of expertise each weapon and piece of armor requires varies, as will their quality
  • Once a round begins, it is up to each contestant to make quick decisions in choosing what to take, and take it before their opponent does
  • After the start of the round, a countdown begins. Once this countdown finishes, monsters will be released into the ring. These monsters shouldn't pose a major threat to any seasoned fighter but they will complicate the fight
  • The contestants, who are hopefully properly armed at this point, will now have to defeat each other while being attacked by monsters
Who will summon Malachin's resolve? Who will adapt and overcome their adversaries amidst chaos? Come and find out!
Those who have not yet signed up for any of the events may continue to do so using the application form in the first posting. Bear in mind that it is still possible to compete by simply showing up and announcing your intention to compete. If you have any questions, send a courier or a dove directly to me ((forum PM / in-game message from Hemp Necktie / Discord DM)).

A training session will also be taking place, on 22nd Ronas ((this Sunday))!

((Since the given dates among players don't line up perfectly for each event, the announcements for the remaining events might come at a very short notice; even a single week. This is because deciding the dates will become easier with each main event winner, as any main event winners may not compete in other main events, although they are welcome to spectate if they can make it there.))

Ladies and gentlemen, what an event!
Everyone fought fiercely and endured longer than we could have anticipated but in the end we have our Swashbuckling Champion: Exelous from Cadomyr!

For his physical prowess and instincts, Exelous received a magical sword and a place in the final series of fights for the ultimate title, One Above All. Congratulations!

Additionally, in the Archery Championship that was held afterward, the contestant that proved most accurate and deadly was Lady Aleytys Lamar, a Knight of Cadomyr! Congratulations to her, too!

And with that, we have our three main Champions of this tournament:
  • Malchus, the Champion of Malachin's Hunt
  • Caswir Drakull, the Champion of Nargun's Armory
  • Exelous, the Swashbuckling Champion
These three individuals represent the best in all the fighters of this tournament so far, and soon they will all be facing each other in the ultimate series of battles, where we'll find out which one of them is the One Above All!

Re: Tournament: One Above All III

Post by S'rrt »

Ladies and gentlemen,
I have an apology to make. An apology to the latest One Above All.

A final post was supposed to be put on display some time after the tournament, announcing his victory once and for all. Instead, I shall do that now. Once more, apologies to the winner for the delay. Onto the task at hand;

The third One Above All, after defeating the other champion title holders Caswir Drakull of Runewick the Champion of Nargun's Armory and Exelous of Cadomyr the Swashbuckling Champion in brutal yet equal fighting conditions, was deemed to be:

Malchus of Runewick

Image

For his victory, Malchus received a uniquely crafted piece of chest armor, to advertise his achievement and strike fear into his enemies.

Congratulations to the winner!

Congratulations also to the other champions for their previous victories!

Elderknight of the Knight Court of Cadomyr
