Congratulations to you too Mare, and I did get some shots that I can get posted hopeufully today after work.

They would be the people who are running the event... If I was running it we would meet at the royal bank or Olympus, but i'm not

it's been changed to 9 est, and they'll be doing another next week from what I understand.

Tonight at about 7 eastern we have been invited to a trip into Doom. Meet up is in Haven.

I dunno about that... might take longer than a few days.

You better

You shouldn't need anyone to beat on you to get you ready to do a hunt with us Calli... I think you just like the idea The Assist is registered per account though so it should still work so long as you still have it.

Every Sunday afternoon at 3 eastern we will have a humility hunt. We will meet outside of Olympus.

First story of the night. Came in third place. Kang: Every day Keith hunted by a city wall where hearts would gather to grazing on berries that grew Kang: on the citys walls Kang: Today however misfortune would befall Keith. As he took aim at one of the deer an old friend Kang: recognized Keith and silently approached him. Kang: This friend was an outlaw and did not wish to be seen by any of the guards patrolling the walls. Kang: Keith she whispered quietly Keith focus was only on his kill as he notched Kang: an arrow Kang: Slowly he took aim. The woman slithered closer and at last shouted Keith! Kang: The arrow was lose and arced upward towards an unsuspecting guard, it lodged in his neck Kang: the guard fell dead Kang: Two more guardsmen rushed from hidden posts, before Keith knew what would happen Kang: the alarmes sounded Kang: The gates far off that would have lead to the safety of Keiths home swung shut and locked. Kang: Keith was now a wanted criminal dead or alive. And his friend didnt seem to mind either way. Kang: Jaya Keith blurted out to the stranger. Is it really you? Kang: The woman shook her head and dived to push Keith out of the way of an arrow that had come fr Kang: from the wall Kang: We need to run Keith, they will kill us both now. She said coldly. Kang: The two of them ran for the forest not far from the city where the underbrush would conceal Kang: their retreat Kang: Already the sound of shouts, and dogs barking began to trail the two outlaws. Kang: Jaya has brought Keith some unsettling news from a great distance. Kang: You brothers Keith, they are now all dead. The Order of Tale has executed them. Kang: Keith took a deep breath, What does this mean Jaya, did they side with the resistance Kang: Jaya only nodded with utter despair. She looked back as the sound of the mob grew even louder. Kang: Keith looked ahead, Why Jaya, why did they join if only to die. Kang: The hour was growing late and Jaya refused to answer she simple began jogging ahead with Keith Kang: Keith, there will be a time and a place to fight Tales. I came here with your brother Kang: brothers will Kang: Alics last Will. He wishes for your to join the resistance as its new leader. Kang: Keith took a moment as he jogged swiftly in pursuit of Jaya to consider her words. Kang: I have no choice Jaya, I must honor my brothers will. Keith said after a while. Kang: A cold wicked smile crept across Jayas features as she looked back at Keith. Kang: You always have a choice she said Kang: Keith. Remember this when Tales himself is weeping crimson tears before our feet. Kang: The city guards did not find the outlaws again that day. The trail had ended abruptly in a small Kang: cave filled with moongstones Kang: moonstones Kang: The traveling caves where built by the mystics you see. Only a member of the mages guild Kang: had permission or knowledge to activate the stones. Kang: The guardsmen captain shared similar knowledge of these caves but knew of the dangers. Those who Kang: traveled the lay lines might never reach their destination. Kang: And so the mystic caves where reserved for the utmost emergencies that involved the Mages Guild Kang: And it was at the Mages Guild Hall Captain Lox traveled to question the council. Kang: Arch Mage Captain Lox addressed in a formal bow Kang: I have reasons to believe someone within your organization is in cahoots with the resistance. Kang: *coughs* Kang: Well Kang: The mage swore a curse if Lox looked further Kang: And Lox slayed the mage where he stood Kang: Went down Kang: Found Jaya and Keith in the basment Kang: He would have slain Keith too Kang: Jaya was pushed into the lay line by Keith Kang: never seen again Kang: Lox was killed Kang: As you drew his sword Hawkeye Pike: Finally some action! Kang: One of his knights bashed his brains out Kang: The knights swore to prtect Keith from that day on Kang: They joined the resistance Thom: Time is up.

Well Mare, that can happen in Fel... but not in a guild war like this one.

PvP can be taught, I actually have plans to start some training real soon but not sure when I can do it yet.

Bard's Night will be held on Saturday May 24th at 9 PM Eastern. This month's topic will be new beginnings. It is located at the new Galehaven Tavern which is along the coast north of the West Gate of Trinsic. The coordinates are 82o 15'S 34o 1'E. There will be 3 judges chosen at random from the audience. We will also have a drawing of someone from the audience to do a story of random words. That person will also get a prize for doing the story so have fun with it! There will be 1 million in gold crowns to the top 3 winners of the competition. First prize : 500k second prize: 375k Third prize : 125k Please keep the stories free of vulgar language and clean. We also ask that stories be kept to a maximum of 10 minutes long. *This is an rp event but all are welcome to attend and participate in the competition.*

Go ahead and post it if you like Pitr. It's mostly geared towards our members but it's general enough to apply to any RP guild. And to answer your questions... Yes

Some things for everyone to remember since we are now involved in actual fighting with another guild. Please make sure you are familiar with our RoE, and if there are any problems you can get ahold of Piper or me. There are no non-combatants declared on either side, which means if your on a crafter or other non combat oriented character there is still a chance you will be approached and possibly attacked. There shouldn't be looting, but it is still a good idea to keep anything valuable insured just in case. I would also like to ask everyone to spend some time in Trinsic and the Olympus area when possible. A good way to do this would be to bank and/or conduct any other business in Trinsic if it's possible. Remember this is not a reason to go on a kill spree and these guys are not KOS, there should be some form of interaction. Your character doesn't see guild tags either so make sure your character would know IC who they were.

The United Pirates are now considered hostile. All members are encouraged to be prepared for an attack at any time.

I knew it!

I can PM Assia from Stratics about the trinsic rose, thought about that last night when I saw her post. I can also take Barefoot's ICQ but not sure what kind of help I can give her other than weekends since I still don't know if I got that first shift position I put in for.

And to be perfectly honest Calli, it was kind of short notice

I'll buy them if you find any with 20% SSI and no HCI or DCI. UBWS is a plus.

Alright Tyr, I posted it on stratics with the date and time you picked. Heres your link http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/uo/show...;o=&fpart=1
