				So, here's a question for you: Since my character owns a smithy in the city, would he be able to stay in his room (above the smithy), rather than paying for a room in the Heros' Quadrant, or would he be expected to be staying at one of those three locations anyways (as a way of keeping everybody in the same relative area or what-have-you)?

				The fights go in order from the Left side of the Bracket on the Proving grounds thread down. So the next fight timeline wise is Clinton January vs Guy Geddie the next user fight will be Henrik vs Nuno.<br><br>Each day will consist of one Eight of the remaining tounrament so the first week each day will consist of 8 fights, the 2nd 4, the 3rd 2 and the final 1 fight. <br><br>The next day progressively will start with Reynik vs Mace Forkbeard and end with Nohman Macion vs Zivon Potter.<br><br>You can use a horse only if your opponent is also using one. It is a unfair advantage otherwise. So if you'd like your NPC opponent to duel you like so then that'd be fine.<br><br>You can ride one in and dismount also.

Perhaps we can try to make sure that everyone is at least somewhat within range of the other players' time frame? It would be a bit weird if the tournament is in day 6, while someone else might be in day 1 or day 12? Perhaps the GM(s) can decide when the tournament goes into its next day and the rest of the people try to stay within 2 days range?

				Yeah, Colorado native myself and that was rough.<br><br>I have a question that can wait until after you're on the mend (or you've drank enough to forget the game): Would 200 armed men actually be allowed to enter the city?&nbsp; Or for that matter would anyone be allowed to wear weapons openly in the city?&nbsp; It seems to me like the city watch and the emperor would want high security within the city during the tournament.&nbsp; All it takes is for a group of individuals to dislike the outcome of a fight and take matters into their own hands.&nbsp; The opportunity for bandits and other undesirables to enter the city would also increase.<br><br>If people are allowed to enter the city armed freely, may I suggest that we have some incidents occur?&nbsp; Maybe some nobles kidnapped or attempts on some princesses' lives?<br><br>This game has so much potential, enough to rival a saga like "A Song of Ice and Fire".&nbsp; I'm hoping that Untamed Skies will want this game to go beyond the tournament.

				Well, I would say not everyone would be allowed to enter the city armed. Common folk, unlikely.

				Thanks for the clarification, Irish.&nbsp; <br><br>Anyone have any thoughts about "honor binding" people's weapons?&nbsp; IE: tying a colored thread around the hilt and scabbard of a sword.&nbsp; Makes it slightly harder to draw but more importantly it's easier to tell if the weapon has been drawn as the thread would be broken.

				My general understanding on the era would be that the lord/dukes/heroes would be allowed their personal weapon as it is kind of their badge of office.

				Well if I might be so bold, I believe we can look at it along these lines. The Emperor, in his divine power, has invited over a hundred men of power and standing to enter his city to compete in battle. Obviously many will be running with hot heads and losses will be taken poorly. With this in mind, it would only seem prudent to double the guard leading to the Emperor's palace and to keep his guard close. Also that the princesses would have at least three bodyguards at all times. There are many 'lonely' power hungry men coming to the city, princess' would be prime targets. Other than that, I believe the city would be loosely run as the emperor would not to cause conflict by directly controlling those that could bring war to his realm.

				Well, its not like in time period, a great deal of training would have been required to be a city guardsman. Perhaps a staffed armed levy, from nearby towns or holdings, could have been raised to supplement the standing guard? Or maybe requiring arriving lords to provided men from their retainers to assist the guard or the Imperial government hired mercenaries?

				I think both suggestions have a lot of merit.&nbsp; <br><br>I think Artemis' suggestions should be implemented but the risk to the rest of the city is awfully high and a few riots, unjustified killings, rapes, and whatever else is a very quick way to have the people turn against the Emperor, nobility, and champions.&nbsp; On the other hand, this could be a very good sub plot or turn of events for the story.<br><br>An imperial legion, or two, pulled in to help support the City Guard could work along with Irish's suggestions.<br><br>Really just talking since little of this matters if Skies doesn't want the game to grow larger than the tournament.

				I'm not so sure about a legion. From the way everyone has been setting up their histories, the frontiers of the Empire, are unstable. Pulling trained, experienced and equipped troops from there or from patrols in bandit country would be a bad idea. I agree that the regular guard should be pulled in to protect the palace and imperial family, with a levy or militia trying to keep order in the rest of the city?

				lol my character got approved, he has two runes one is magnetism the other electricity which let him use his weapon of choice, metallic dust.&nbsp; check it out on my character profile, I'm surprised you guys hadn't noticed.&nbsp; I did have a good reason for it though.&nbsp; My Layrinth Concord are hoarders of such knowledge, so it is possible that they are the only ones that know it, which means It can be taught.&nbsp; Kir wasn't intending on using it unless he was protecting someone.&nbsp; Dust to staff, jab, electricity, stun :D<br><br>Edit: To be honest I usually play magical characters and that which was described before was pretty much how i was going to limit my utilization to even though it'd be easy to do more.

				That makes two of us, mj.

				By impossibly overwhelming I meant that if I wanted to use that power dangerously I could, but again at that point I wouldn't have any fun.&nbsp; He uses it to turn the dust into weapons and the lightening rune to make them a stunner, that's it.&nbsp; It is not the primary focus of the tournament and he wasn't going to use it in the tournament, blunted tourny weapons only.

				Sorry, for the delay on getting back to you guys. <br><br>I've had many different talks with Pentagious over his runes. He is expressly forbidden from using it in any way other then a make shift weapon against other Heroes.<br><br>To further help avoid unfair situations or things like clever poisons each hero is presented with the tournament's own weapons. That way there is a guarantee the weapons are blunted, not poisoned, or tampered with in any way.<br><br>If any of you would like to add some special quirk to your character you're welcome to do so within reason. I viewed his "sorcery" as a weapon that's able to change into other weapons so I didn't view it as a large advantage so long as he doesn't throw metal dust into someone's face. <br><br>The higher ups, the Dukes and such have probably met once or twice at the behest of the Emperor. <br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=162281.msg7531557#msg7531557">Quote from: AribethAmkiir on 13-01-2013, 07:40:31</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Yeah, Colorado native myself and that was rough.<br><br>I have a question that can wait until after you're on the mend (or you've drank enough to forget the game): Would 200 armed men actually be allowed to enter the city?&nbsp; Or for that matter would anyone be allowed to wear weapons openly in the city?&nbsp; It seems to me like the city watch and the emperor would want high security within the city during the tournament.&nbsp; All it takes is for a group of individuals to dislike the outcome of a fight and take matters into their own hands.&nbsp; The opportunity for bandits and other undesirables to enter the city would also increase.<br><br>If people are allowed to enter the city armed freely, may I suggest that we have some incidents occur?&nbsp; Maybe some nobles kidnapped or attempts on some princesses' lives?<br><br>This game has so much potential, enough to rival a saga like "A Song of Ice and Fire".&nbsp; I'm hoping that Untamed Skies will want this game to go beyond the tournament.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>To help keep the insanity of having so many men enter the city they were mostly being restricted to the Hero's Quadrant which if you noticed on the map is sealed off.

Harder for them to sneak around if there is a specific place they are staying.<br><br>The city is vast and massive if a lord is capable of pulling his militia away from his country without crippling it, and could keep them disguised then they would no doubt be able to keep them inside of the city doing whatever. There are many "fans" that have traveled from all over to watch their lord fight and become Emperor. <br><br>I had high hopes for the RP and if everyone is still interested past the crowning of the emperor I know there are a couple of lords and it seems one or two princesses that might just start a civil war over power and that could begin the next chapter.

				I can go edit the front of this if you guys prefer as well it's not that big of a deal.<br><br>Magic is not powerful, the strongest flame that can be conjured is a little less powerful then a torch. They are cheap parlor tricks, useful only in certain situations, and even in those situations they only give a slight edge. It is so weak and so little used that a large share of the world do not believe in it. And those that do see it only as a gift from the gods, or as vile and demonic. There is nothing strong enough to control one's mind, there is nothing strong enough to make someone ill. Some can throw a candle fire at you and it might burn like being burnt by a cigarette but that's the extent of it. In Pentagious's case he can mold his metal to take on different shapes. In the long run the only edge is the element of surprise. <br><br>The Church grants magic to those most devoted to it's cause. Those who have spent many years and have given much time to the pursuit of the betterment towards their gods. It is supposed to be a sign of the faithful.Since Pentagious is using magic in the form of runes we'll stick to that. The church grants and teaches it's greatest members how to use magic in the form of runes. These runes are found in certain scriptures and books, these runes must be precisely crafted, and one has to be able to imagine the power they invoke as they craft the rune. As such the only true way to learn magic is through the scriptures. <br><br>Scriptures do not all reside in the church there are many, it's very easy to believe that in a massive castle library there are a few books on runic magic either handed down by the church or taken by overzealous Emperor's and princes. However for a low class citizen that isn't religious and doesn't have a library near him, the odds of him coming across such information is much lower. If you want to add a rune or two to your character you must explain how you came into the knowledge. <br><br>Those not granted magic through their devotion are in turn claimed to be working for dark forces. Possessed by demons and on a mission to taint the very ground they walk upon. Still if a princess or the Emperor was discovered to have use of magic without the gift of any of the churches the church wouldn't be able to do much. A full scale war would crush them, the strength of even half a country's faithful against the entire might of the Empire would spell doom. They would need the support of multiple lords and start a civil war in order to bring the "evil to justice". They could send assassin's but the trouble is if they assassin's fail and the church is discovered they would be crushed. So by all rights magic really should have no effect over anything until towards the end. And even then it could only really be used as "justification," to bring the Empire into civil war if enough of the lords rallied behind the one crying foul.<br><br><br>Any other information you guys need on it? And any location in specific you'd like me to add in this information as a easy reference to you?<br><br>I am also willing to let everyone else help shape the world if you guys have other ideas. My only problem with powerful magic is it heavily unbalances everything, so I'm keeping it as mundane and weak as possible.

				Now that I'm home and not ducking under my manager's watchful eyes I can explain how healing would work.<br><br>A healing rune can heal anything a band-aid could cover, so cut yourself with a kitchen knife, burn your hand touching the bottom of a hot pot, step on a nail kind of thing. <br><br>A healing spell can also act as a set of temporary stitches to get someone to a infirmary and properly seal the wound before someone bleeds out. A kind of temporary stabilization if you will so long as it's not multiple deep gashes or a blow to the heart, or brain. <br><br>It can not heal a deep gash completely, cure poison, cure disease, anything major would need to be sent to a infirmary or medical wing in hopes the said party could be saved. <br><br><strong>[edit]</strong><br><br>Playing one of my old favorite games Suikoden V which actually has a rune system we could borrow that to further balance things. Each rune only has X number of uses a day. X representing the time and effort put into using it. A newbie could only use it twice, a master might get five uses out of it. <br><br>Just a thought.

				If you have a carved rune then you'd not be able to simply erase it. But if you draw the rune then you could quickly erase it. Of course it gets scratched or something else you also run the risk of losing the power altogether.

				well it had been my intention to give time for scense to progress and everything, but seeing as we're all cluttered and stuck, I think I'll adopt a portion of the system used in another group I'm with (Harry Potter a Future) and go ahead and progress things day by day. If you'd like to create something open beyond the games for someone else to interact with I think it'll be the best way to go and keep things moving forward. <br><br>And then every couple weeks or so (pending on how active the thread is) I'll progress it to the next day. So long as you're keeping track of your time and not going over board I think it'll be fine. And that way we don't have a bunch of people sitting in oblivion.

				Yeah, also waiting on Scribbles, but I can also just have Jaquelyn storm out mid-conversation. It won't be too far out of character for her, and it opens her up for new interactions with different players
