Gather round! The tournament has begun!
"Only a few short weeks ago, we received word from the western border of an unknown company marching east. Of all the possibilities we entertained as we rode out to meet them, the Arrokko tribe, coming directly from Nuhara, never crossed our minds. How could it have, with storms keeping our lands apart for over two decades now? But there they were, and with the spirit of friendship in their hearts.. To our newest allies, I welcome you all again to Draiwen, to the fortress and center of the realm, and to this tournament. I can only imagine how these structures compare to the fighting pits of Rheassi, but a love of competition is something shared between both our peoples. And what better way forward than a celebration of that commonality? Here we shall see our strengths, our weaknesses, and our complements played out in match after match after match. Here, two fights, both highly trained, both hindered only by remaining non-lethal, can test each other on even ground until one emerges victorious."
- King Niclas, at the start of the tournament.
We love to experiment with different events at R&R. A few of them, like the masquerade and the October scary story anthology, we have shared here. Well, here's another - a tournament! We set up some basic mechanics to govern the fight, and for those who did not have characters immediately able to join, created some NPCs for them to roll with, like this one:
And with characters set, the fighting began. Already, we have had our first fight, and our first victor, but it is only one of several fights to come. Who will emerge as the champion of the tournament?
