“The Lull Before the Storm”
Continuing Game 139

Invitations have been posted in all noble courts, temples, and taverns of good repute in Kjolnir, Allondell, Iñarra, and in parts of other nearby countries. Written on the finest parchment in an elaborate script, it reads:

Greetings to all, from the Ominous Shadows! As winter draws to a close, the Shengan Rannashite Order prepares itself for its disclosing. On the 25th of April, I, Marshal Terik, shall host the Shadow Games! The Shadow Games will challenge those who dare to a battle of Swords, Wits, Spells, and Stealth. Not only will you face other talented and skilled fighters from all over Hesket, but you will have the opportunity to prove yourselves against our knights and earn rare Shengan trophies. I look forward to meeting you all at the battleground of Beynac in Valenne on the 25th of April.

- Marshal Terik of the Ominous Shadows

Rumors have it that the order is holding on to priceless and never before seen items. A few of the area’s thieves have been caught trying to steal from the order. The townfolk also noticed that since the order arrived, the population of wild ferocious creatures in the area weirdly decreased.

RSVP

Please RSVP via email to cg139.

“The Lull before the Storm” is an day-long LARP event, set in the world of the Continuing Game.

Players interested in attending the game are asked to RSVP at cg139.

Important: this game takes place in Valenne, a country covered by a magery-free zone called the “The Null”. In Valenne, only Cleric Magic and divine items (such as holy weapons) will work; other forms of magic and most magic items have their access to mana blocked. Thus, a magical ring with Barkskin will not work again until you are out of the Null. In the Null, anyone whose magic is blocked by the null feels a slight “pins and needles” tingling sensation that does not fade.

This game will feature snacks and drinks, but not a full meal. It is suggested that players eat lunch before the event.
