Title: An expedition: [20:00 GMT Tonight!]
Post by: Octiovus on August 10, 2006, 06:45:10 pm
"Long ago Cove was a great naval power, its large docks allowing many ships and sailors to be stationed there. It was long considered to be one of, if not the greatest naval powers in Sosaria. Unfortunately with the Orcish invasion of some years ago the Covian fleet was destroyed, and has never become anything more than a mere fishing fleet. Yet the Baron has decided it once more time to prove and expand Cove's naval aims, and to this end, has ordered an expedition to the dangerous and hostile dagger Island (known to some as the Ice Island) to display Covian sea supremacy..."

Expedition details:

Commanding Officer & Expedition leader: Tiberius Kane.
First Mate: Vacant (See below)
Start point: Cove docks.
Target location: Dagger Isle.
Estimated time at sea: Less than one day. (Probably around twenty minutes real time)
Estimated time on land: Several weeks to map the island and to plant the Covian flag on the highest point. (Probably one real life evening and night, we'll be setting off back home in the afternoon of the next day though of course members of the expedition are not required to stay online for the whole period but you will not be able to leave the island.)
Expedition launch time: Soon (within the next few days, or possibly this evening if we can get enough interest.)
Expedition members: Sign below.

Expedition positions:

First mate:

Will receive:

*Valorite arms and the rank of sergeant for the duration of the trip.
*The responsibility of being second in command of the expedition and creating events as well as entertaining people during the event.


Post your interest below.

Expedition member:

Will receive:

*The rank of expedition member for the duration of the trip.
*A chance to take part in an experimental event.

OOC details:

This will be a long event based mostly around roleplay though there may be some PvM and even PvP involved. I haven't attempted anything like this with BoC before, so it may or may not turn out to be a hideous disaster. Your character will not be allowed to leave the island even if they have magery so don't say you have to be dismissed and recall!

OOC rules:

*Your character cannot leave the island until the event is over. (Though you may play other characters who are not on the expedition)
*Do not come along expecting either a short event or a simple PvM/PvP event. This is based mostly on RP so come along with plenty of RP spirit! If you don't like the event, don't whine endlessly. Just log out and play your other character or similar.

POST BELOW IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN TAKING PART.

[OOC: Will there be a certain time for everyone to log in and rejoin the expedition the next day?

Also, can other people join after the expedition has set sail and arrived at Ice Island?]

Grand!

[OOC: There will be a certain time to leave the next day. If people miss that then they can either make their own way back (magery, help button, etc) or can wait for the rescue mission for any stranded guardsmen (or citizens!)

We will run a second pick-up a few hours into the event to get more members who wish to join the event, yes.]

An untamed land, mayhaps filled with savages still to hear the Blessed Truth of the Avatar. 

Shouldst it be permitted, I would represent the Church on this venture, to convert any heathens we find and to ensure the other expedition members do not fall into temptation or barbarity.

Odenetheus walks in, sees the poster and stops to read it. 'Hm. I'd better alert Lyria of this, I wouldn't want them barging in on the Headquarters.'
