We met at Cove Barracks and began a forced march to Minoc. Once we were there, we were instructed to place all our posessions except for clothing, armour and weapons included, into secure containers in the bank for safekeeping. We were then each given 500 gold and told to buy whatever armour, weapons and healing supplies we could with that from the local merchants and shopkeepers!
In our rag-tag, basic armour with unspectacular weapons, we met at the Covian Mine across the bridge from the town itself, and the rules were outlined! One of us had an item of worth, a fish statue, and we had to find it and take it by any means necessary! We were forbidden from using the more lethal attacks we knew, or any magic, holy or otherwise, and the scouts among us were forbidden from taking to the shadows, then we were set loose upon one another!
The skirmish was long and tiring! Some fell quickly or often, and others stood standing throughout, whether through staunch constitution or...er...discretion! As we ran in and around the mining camp, Sergeant Lanai yelled out that Senior Morana had the artifact, and in the confusion, his claim was believed, and we all bore down upon him! Once it was discovered that he did not, confusion reigned, until the game was called to a close and it was revealed that Sergeant Lanai had had the statue all along!
After the game ended, Sergeant Lanai collected his prize of gold, and revealed that he had taken a great pile of armour from other competitors. Mr. DiGoraz collected our opinions of the game, then we were free to return to Cove.
