High Orcs, Trolls, and cake! Oh my!

*Please note, this is non-cannon plot. It will not affect or be affected by "regular season" plot. This is a fight practice and should be considered as though it were a spin off from your favorite TV series. Which of course means it will be just as epic as the real deal, just not actually intertwined.*

The High Orcs of the Jaro-Par Clan have had consistent struggles with the savage mountain trolls of Howler’s Peak for years, but the animosity between the two groups has been escalating more as the number of troll raids on the High Orcs’ settlement increases. His anger toward the attacks finally reaching boiling point, the High Orc Chieftain has ordered an all-out attack on the trolls, recruiting any and all that will assist in the attack. But concerns regarding the trolls’ recently-attained ties to the magic of Elemental Stone linger within the Orc Clan, and some openly doubt that the Orcs’ forces alone have the power to overcome the magic of the great mountain itself…

On Sunday March 18th, we will be hosting an official fight practice. It will be held in Otsego, Minnesota from 12:30 - 4:30 pm. Everyone is encouraged to come; as your character, an alternated character, or as a volunteer to NPC for our module. You will be free to try out new fighting styles and/or builds at the practice. There will also be a mod-type-thing, complete with a plot.

As an added incentive, you will receive 5 gobbies just for showing up and 15 gobbies if you bring someone new to Alliance larp with you. If you have any questions, you can post here, send me a pm, call me at 95two-2seven0-eight984, or call Andrea at 50seven-72zero-927eight. There will be cake!

I'll come. Will be nice to bring Binks back for a day.
 
Sorry, I have to work that day, 11 AM - 6PM shift.
 
It's extremely unlikely I'll be there :/ It's a 4 hour trip there and back, which equals the 4 hours of LARP, which is a terrible ratio :/ Then add in that I work 3rd shift, 11 PM to 7 AM, and I wouldn't be able to stay awake at all. Sorry :/
 
C'mon, folks! You know you want to come! There's a promise of trolls, a handful of specially-built phys-reps, free goblin stamps, and lots more! How can you turn those down?

Same deal as Icey - 4 hours larping doesn't justify 4 hours driving.
 
Well I've got most of our boffer supply spruced up after the winter. So we will have plenty of extra Long swords and Short Swords for people to borrow, along with a spear or two a pole arm and a two-handed sword.

I'm excited to make the cake though I don't know if I can top last years bleeding layer orc cake.

address is: <removed>

I will try to get some balloons up on the street sign and outside the house, Parking on the street is fine. Come around to the back yard we'll be all set up.
 
I'm going to assume Mariah L. is me?
LARP Mom might also be attending. :)

Ha, I definitely put the wrong name there. I forget your last name because it's different on facebook and that's where I was pulling that list from. I fixed it now.

Also, make sure to tell people to either RSVP or otherwise let us know if they're coming or not. It will help us plan better =D
 
Hi All,
Just to clarify, this is a fight practice and as such it is non-official plot. Please thank the "volunteer staff" of this particular event, they have gone ahead and created an awesome story for you to run around inside of, however this is not an official event. You will not receive any sort of build or treasure from the event. Any actions performed at this event will have no bearing on the "regular season" plot. Nor will there be any carry over of effects, role play, or death on your regular characters should you choose to portray their likeness at the fight practice.

Thank you again Andrea and her cracker jack team for putting this together!
 
I'll be coming, and bringing a friend. Neither of us own our own weapons so extra weapons are our friends.
seems Alexander allready got me signed up, thanks buddy.
 
The yard is just about all dried out, the weather looks to be nice. Wont you come hit things with a padded stick with me?
 
Shanthony said:
I'm totally for this! Sign me up to be an NPC!
Done! :thumbsup:
 
I have made the cake. It is ugly. This is not a lie.
 
Thanks to everyone who came out today! I know I had a great time, and I hope y'all did as well. What were some of your favorite moments? I would innumerate mine tonight, but I'm too tired for the time being.
 
I thought it was just a great way to do a trial run of RP and combat. It's hard to enter a game your first day and be able to jump right in with everyone. So having a day where you can practice RP with people definitely helps. I wish I had done something like that with my PC before going in my first game, but luckily I at least knew Dave/Nate oog.

Having to reintroduce yourselves to people I'm sure will be weird at first, but shouldn't be any less enjoyable. My favorites:

- How much Binks could get away with when talking to the Orc Chief. I pushed it far so many times.
- Angry Biata. Don't tell a Biata it's an Earth Circle MI when it's really a Celestial MI CoP.
- 3 Romani plotting
- Another person not recognizing me without the Asher wig. (Once a game and still going!)
- Marriage of Orc Chief and Kendra

Thanks again Andrea, Alexander, Josh, Nate, Amy, Dave and Shanthony (I'll remember your RL name I promise. I know it starts with a D) for putting it together/NPCing.
 
Really really really wish I could have gone. I was going to but I was sick for most of last week. I really thought I was doing better but then on Sunday morning I woke up and puked like four times so I doubted anyone would want to have to deal with me. ^^;;
And I'm sorry for not informing you guys sooner. I have no ones numbers and my internet has been down due to the whole move thing, and stuff getting messed up.

Anyways, I hope it was a lot of fun!! And I can't wait to see you all in April!!

That's okay, my Biata took out something like half the town whenever he felt slighted, At least until Kendra pushed him under a collapsing mountain in some kind of barbarian styled revenge. (At least that's how I remember it!) ^.^
