| 7/18/2007 | DRAKES VANGUARD NIGHTLY ADVENTURES |
|
Each Volnes (Monday), the Drakes Vanguard will invest in its communities (Wehnimer's Landing, IceMule Trace, and Solhaven) by offering services in one or more of these cities. On some of these volunteer nights, we will provide spell and profession-based services to local citizens with no wish for tip or fee. On others, we will teach ballista, archery, and other classes. On others, we will harvest trees or otherwise act to bolster the community's defense capability. And often we offer help with Adventurer Guild tasks.
Each Tilamaires (Tuesday), the Drakes Vanguard will hold a "Peers for Peers" muster. Each muster will vary according to that night's definition of "peer". For instance, a peer might be those of similar training ranks. A peer might be those who use similar weapons or similar fighting styles. A peer might be those with similar or even dissimilar guild assignments that would complement each other if practiced together. Peer will remain that flexible so a variety of individuals can engage in a common effort to become better at whatever "peer" skill each is attempting to hone. Each Leyan (Wednesday), the Drakes Vanguard will lead the Ascendant Assault. This is a tiered hunt for those who possess any level of hunting skill. The Ascendant Assault will leave for parts unknown based upon the skills of those who choose to participate. Each Niiman (Thursday), the Drakes Vanguard will lead the Niiman Cycle. This hunt is a series of forays into hunting grounds that are best suited for a specific hunting skill. We'll start somewhere appropriate for journeymen, and then leave those to rest and continue to another hunting ground for lords and ladies. Then, we'll move on to where great lords and ladies, then high lords and ladies, and even to where grand lords and grand ladies can gain good experience. The cycle will then continue, given time, but resume the hunt from a new journeyman hunting ground and so on up the range. Each Day of the Huntress (Friday), the Drakes Vanguard will hold a Favor Saver hunt. This will be exclusively against undead creatures and geared to replenish favor for any who might need the boost. It will be held in sections as needed to prevent fear from overwhelming the less skilled adventurers. Each Feastday (Saturday), the Drakes Vanguard will hold a fun-for-all gathering with nearly any pursuit imaginable. We'll go on left-handed adventures, hold deadman races, tell jokes, recite limericks, or just practice imitating objects so we can become better morphs. We might just rampage merrily to about anywhere in the lands as well. Our sorcerers can now move a willing hunting group from one place to beyond the pale with just a little nudge. Each Restday (Sunday), the Drakes Vanguard will call its membership to muster in order to practice and develop tactics, to hone leadership skills, to relate news, and to discuss future events. All are welcome to attend and asked to conduct themselves courteously. Bring a friend! Interested? Well, we won't be hard to find if you are. Simply listen to your amulet from time to time around the area of Wehnimer's Landing. You will probably soon hear our summons to one of these frolics of fun. Each begin at 8:30 in the evening as elves keep time, and start in the Wayside Inn at one of its various tables. Check out our website at www.freewebs.com/thedrakesvanguard/index.htm |

| 7/13/2007 | A CALL TO COURT |
| Word out of the Baronial Court of Vornavis today brings news that Baron Dunrith Malwind has sent out a summon for all Knights--Errant, Banneret, and of the Turamzzyrian Empire--to attend court with His Excellency next week, Day of the Huntress--20th of Koaratos, at the nineth hour of the evening.

| 7/12/2007 | ENHANCIVE SYSTEM UPDATE |
| The enhancive system has been updated to properly factor in Constitution enhancive effects when determining a player's Maximum Health level. Previously, an enhanced Constitution score did not cause players to gain (or lose, in the case of Constitution penalties) maximum health. This has now been corrected. One of the more noticeable effects of this change will be its impact on Death's Sting, as its Constitution penalty will now also reduce Maximum Health. | |

| 7/7/2007 | DARKSTONE CASTLE CAPTURED BY NECROMANCER! |
|
A small army of animates invaded Wehnimer's Landing on a quiet Feastday afternoon. These invasions have become somewhat common place over the last few weeks, although the intensity and duration of this invasion was greatly increased over prior weeks. Crimson lightning was seen over Darkstone Castle as the town's citizens bravely fought off the invading forces.
A group of intrepid adventurers formed a war party and ventured to the castle. They encountered some initial difficulty penetrating the Castle's raised drawbridge. After some incredibly difficult acrobatic displays, the adventurers managed to lower the drawbridge. Unfortunately, they were met inside by the necromancer's minions. These fighting forces were much fiercer than encountered previously, which led to the demise of most of the war party. At the same time the powerful necromancer used his magic to eject unwanted guests from what he claims is now his castle. Further efforts at penetrating the castle have met with failure and it seems that Darkstone Castle is off limits for the time being |
|
| 7/6/2007 | UPDATE TO AMMO-GENERATING BOWS. |
|
Roundtime calculations for special bows that generate their own arrows have been updated to follow the same mechanics as their mundane counterparts. Previously, these bows were fired in a flat 3 seconds, modified by sniping and aiming. Now, the type of bow (short, composite, or long) as well as strength (statistic, spell 606, and spell 509) will play a factor in the weapons' roundtime.
Ammo-generating crossbows are unaffected by this change. |
|
