Now that the rangers are starting to form their plan for the defense of the vault, and the protection of the mirror, I want to explain what this upcoming battle will entail. There are a number of variables involved and I still haven't gotten all the details nailed down yet. There will be two parts: the battle at the vault, and the event which Harford is attending while out of town. RP-wise, these events will happen simultaneously. In real time, we'll spend 30 minutes fighting at the vault, log out, take a 10 minute break, then log back in on a completely separate set of characters to play out Harford's event. The rule is that since these events are considered simultaneous, the same character cannot appear at both. In other words you will need two characters, or one with a disguise kit, in order to participate in both parts (which I hope that everyone will be able to do).
The first part is fairly straightforward. I will need some rangers on the defense, and thieves on the offense. Harford's event is what will be a little trickier to organize, because for one I am not yet certain how it will play out, and who is there is subject to change based on how the rangers' plans develop and what roles we plan to put people in.
The rules for the battle are also subject to change but they will be in stone before the event takes place:
For the Vault:
1. Two magical barriers are allowed. They are made of colored crates that are locked down and thus cannot be moved. They can obstruct passageways but there must always be an unobstructed way to the inner vault (or mirror).
2. All other obstructing barriers cannot be locked down.
3. Addons can be moved around or added but cannot obstruct doors/halls.
For the fight:
1. For the vault, normal RoE applies EXCEPT for the death timer. For Harford's event, the timer applies.
2. The battle lasts for ~30 minutes. The rangers win if they keep the thieves out. The thieves win if they find the mirror. Mainly I just want the battle to last as long as possible.
That about covers it for now. I'll update this post as need be as details become more clear. I'm hoping that we can have all hands on board for this event as well as anyone outside the rangers that would like to participate. This is very much open to suggestion and imagination, so if you get any ideas OOC or IC, then make them known and we'll see if we can make them work.
Edit:
I am going to maintain a list of who is who at each event so far.
Me-A little bit of everything
Oona-Ranger/Gypsy
Katalin-Thief/Ranger
Mylar-Ranger/Animal
Judas-Ranger/Thief
Eodain-Thief/Kalaric
Morrow-Ranger?/
Gillian-Thief/Gypsy Tamer or Animal
Rhys-Ranger/Thief
Dante-Thief/Gypsy
Edit2: Currently 4 rangers and 4 thieves (counting me) for vault.
Update Sept.8
Here is the backstory for anyone missing the context of this. The Thieves Guild is searching for pieces of the enchanted sextant and discovered by mysterious circumstance the possession of one of these pieces by Lord Harford. The piece has been in his family's possession for years, it having been taken from Samhain, the old guildmaster of the Thieves Guild. Harford sought out the rangers because he suspects the thieves will attack his vault, where the mirror is kept, while he is out of town on important business, and hopes that the rangers will help to protect it.
