Knights of Tezoth

Expedition Characters "Knights of Tezoth"

- All my life?!.. M-my lord, it's too early to speak of that yet... - Radiance blushed even more fiercely. - And besides...

...

- I confess, given your smile, it's not hard to believe. - She says, having refreshed her receptors a moment ago. - Perhaps my title would suit your image better... But it is dear to me, and I would not part with it even under threat of violence... Hey! Don't think I'm implying you resemble a bandit eyeing another's goods, it's just... It came to mind. If you ever find yourself in our village, I'd be glad to show you everything, though we have little there besides untouched nature.

- From followers of marginal worldviews, something of the sort would indeed not be unreasonable to expect, but it's hard to imagine the incompetence of the kingdom's first figure's knights running so deep that a genuine threat would slip so easily past their reliable watch. - Adata's gaze remained fixed on the spot where the priestess had vanished from sight some time ago. - And still, what kind of fashion is this? False ears, wings - she's not a northerner, after all, nor even a denizen of the dungeons. And how shamelessly short that skirt is! Surely this isn't a trend across all of Revnland.

__________

- They'll be found, they'll be found! About scars - and not only those - many would want to learn of such a stately lady! Though I truly can't read.

Golden Coin listened with interest to the tale of the night spider.

- Oh, I see. And they say a spider in the house is a friend, protecting from other pests, but seems for ones like that, we people are no better than flies. Or worse - the house itself. I remember how the boss implanted spider eggs into that poor fellow's chest, and then... Bleh, better not to recall, or my joy will spill out right now.

__________

- Arnold, has that joyous hour truly come when the chains of your solitude shall turn to dust at the touch of a fair bride, and the sad prince shall awaken from slumber by the tender kiss of her longed-for lips?

- Your Charm. - The Knight of Sincerity bowed his head.

- Lady Alsira, my indelicacy has no excuse, yet the circumstances at hand - namely, the upcoming events - compel me to shatter this wondrous moment in the most treacherous manner and barbarically abduct your cavalier, but I wish to believe that your heart holds room for forgiveness of this villainous act.

Arnold de Arriet reluctantly bids farewell to his dance partner and departs with the peach-haired woman. Immediately after, the celebration moves to its next stage, during which the knights of the regions had the opportunity to raise their prestige, and with it the reputation of their lord.

Gengaart - a large 20x20 arena where, in honor of Deus's birthday, a Tournament and a Buhurt are scheduled. The organization of both events fell upon the shoulders of the Knight of the Dragon Heart, my lord Richard Liironon, and the judge chosen was the Knight of Justice, my lady Emilia Lane.

Tournament

- The number of OD is limited for the duration of the entire tournament and does not recover; the participants are treated by the finest doctors from Kronaka, and no wounds are inflicted. Participants are forbidden from intentionally causing irreparable harm or appropriating the equipment of the defeated.

- Victory in a duel grants 0.2 prestige, defeat 0.1, victory in the entire event - 5, judging - 2.5

- Format: each participant fights every other participant; victory goes to the one who wins the greatest number of duels (I'll decide how many NPCs to record based on the number of players, so there aren't too many battles).

Buhurt

- All participants enter the arena simultaneously and fight against one another.

- All participants receive +0.5 prestige, the victor - +5.

Paradelus

Contest of Elegance

At the head of this event stands Lord Maria-Tenerezza Logg; here, the aesthetic qualities of the knights will be judged. Essentially, we simply vote on behalf of the players on a five-point scale for the participants' artifacts without division by gender. If you wish to farm some prestige, you can do so on behalf of your character with detailed comments (of course, you need not describe yourself).

Contest of Erudition

In this event, participants are expected to present their thoughts on two topics - about the regions of Tezoth and their rulers, as well as about the historical eras of the kingdom. After today's celebration concludes, these works will be added to the royal library, which is headed (as is the contest itself) by the Knight of Serene Bliss - one of Deus's servants.

Contest of Archery

The simplest of the events. One need only take an ordinary bow and make a dozen shots at the set target. This is the only event to which non-knights are admitted.

Participation in any of the events is free and voluntary.

This is super cool, thanks.

Does everyone fight on foot, or can you do it on horseback too?

You can ride on horseback, for those who know how)

Only for the artifacts? Can't we add even a little bit for roleplay, inventory, and other fun stuff?

If you really want to - you can.

And what do they give for erudition and shooting?

and can you regen with an olive during battle?

and if your pet gets taken down, will they treat it too?

this applies to both duels and the brawl, right?

Also prestige, but there it's more situational in terms of numbers.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

And if Yashchur counts, does that mean he'll have to burn through the charlists of all the NPCs? Or is that publicly available information?

And will they update the OD after the tourney in bugurt?

I suggest going without animals. Extra hassle with calculations and a billion more questions from Yashchur. I don't want to spend 2 weeks on the tournament. Besides prestige, will there be anything else — stats, money, prizes?

I'll post them in the thread.

Yes.

I won't say. That's needed for special treatment — if a Heroes fan wins, hand out something cool, and if not, say nothing was planned anyway. Seriously though, the participants don't know this.
