Discord Presents

A privately funded Event of the Kingdom of the Rising Winds.

Discord Presents: Tortuga

The 2008 Discord event is named Tortuga, an event made up of three different events.

May 2-4, 2008

Sherwood Forest Paintball, LaPorte, IN

$15 entry fee

Tortuga Theme

The Bacardi Bat (Tempest) & Captain Morgan (Smurf) are meet in battle to decide which is the better Rum. This battle is a major inconvenience for the town of Tortuga which is where they happen to have run across each other for this battle.

While the objective of the event is the most castle victories, you will lose if you ignore the role-play component, and both play off one another. Just like a real war, your fighters do the fighting while your strategists develop the plan that will guide you to ultimate victory!

Heat

Heat is a numeric formula that indicates how much the town dislikes each of the teams (Bacardi & Captain Morgan).

The Event can not be won by only paying attention to only one aspect of the event.

The War-events cause Heat, due to the fighting going on near the town.

The Flurb-events (Role-play) can reduce "Heat" (if successfully done) as well as gain advantages for the teams. But be careful because if you handle the mini quests wrong they can get you even more heat.

Activities done in town can gain or reduce Heat based upon what is occuring.

Even if a team wins all of the fighting events, if they have too much heat they may lose the event.

Flurb Events

36 interlinked quests that start on Friday and run until the last person falls over from exhaustion.

With everything from a Romeo and Juliet style Love Story, to an old soldier looking to leave a legacy, to a shadowy thieves' guild, a traveling master assassin, a sorcerers' tower where you can play all your casting classes at once.

This is a flurbs wet dream with over 40 interlocking and stand alone mini quests there is something for EVERYONE!

But bring more than your imagination cause some of these mini quests are designed to be truly challenging.

A warning to all those who like to settle everything with a sword. Tortuga has a no violence policy so there are times where a sword comes in handy and others where it will only get you into trouble.

Town Stuff

Gruel (Oatmeal) served throughout the event, if you don't like oatmeal then bring extra money to purchase food from some of our food merchants.

Activities set up to entertain and keep active (A&S areas set up to demo/learn, games in the tavern)

Lots of Merchants of various types set up to make the town run well. (Merchants are standard type and roleplay oriented).

A booth set up in town where pictures for "Amtcards" are going to be taken along with filling out of the information needed to obtain the card.

More to come from Kathrynn later.
