Kapture the Kami/Karavan!

[Tidings]

Homins, I bring you tidings of a trial of might and death in the Prime Roots.

The Karavan challenge the Kami to a test of strength, determination, team-work and tactics in the Trench of Trials, Umbra on Saturday 25 June at 8.00 pm BST, and later at 1.00 am BST.

Kami brethren - call your brothers and sisters to arms! make sure you take the Title Homin

Karavan worshippers - equip you men and your women! To distinguish your allies use the title Refugee.

Rules:

Do not kill the hostage

Kami players' title must be Homin

Karavan title must be refugee

Teams must have the same amount of players on them

Each team must choose a leader and give the name to the CSR team

Each base will have a hostage from the opposing faction, these are named HostageKami and Hostagekaravan.

To move your hostage stand next to them and /ready - they will then follow you when you start to move.

The first team to get their hostage home will win, both the hostage and the leader have to be in the home camp.

Teleport tickets are not permitted to get to the other faction's base.

If you Die your hostage will return to the enemy base by walking.

The CSR’s decision is final. Any disagreements and you will be asked to leave the event.

A scout has discovered that the old Kami and Karavan camps in the Prime Roots have been rebuilt and the ancient map of the camp locations is still valid, please rally your forces at your camp and await your leader's instructions. http://www.uo.jolt.co.uk/images/scout_report.jpg

The 8pm event:

Story:
We, the Kamis, decided to split our forces. Kye & Lockheart etc ran off to do their worst and about 10 of us stayed to defend. The first Karavan attack was a piece of genious strategy for as soon as we saw and engaged them on out right flank, a second team came through on the left and pinched us bad. Somehow we survived.

Some time later our second main attack failed too. I know because I heard Kye shout on region 'hah it took 4 of you to take me down'. Hmmm. We defenders were now nearly 20 in number (including stragllers) and braced ourselves for the counter attack. Sure enough, right on time, Logar ran screaming backing shouting 'INC'. We didnt believe him much because earlier he had dragged a boss mob in! Anyway, it seemed like this time the Karavan went for the all our frontal attack. Our numbers were down as Kye was still dead and we braced for the Karavan assualt. With very good targeting of us healers (Rawpure!) we were minced.

My appolgoes to the few melee folk who tried to engage me, you no doubt got bored of running after me and went back to the fight .

Criticism:
> CSR chat in a unique colour would help to see their instructions amongst the chatter.
> Give the hostages a flag or big lolly or something to help spot this key player.
> Allow us poor healers to heal anyone, because those damned nukers can sure nuke anyone!
> Abort the rule of 'teams same size'. I dont know why this was or how it could be organised easily.

Second event at 1:00 BST was also very nice Karavan forces kicked few Kamis .....hihi we were fighting mostly near Karavan base and even so tricky strategy of Kamis followers like pulling hudge amount of mobs on us didn't help. Was great battle and Uber fun
Here is picture of karavan forces celebrating VICTORY:



Thanks Jena for ur merciful blessing and keeping our swords sharp.

P.S. This should be sth done with healing ur allies if they r not in ur team cause imo this is not good in a way it works now.
