FUBAR'd May 09, 2015 Love to indulge yourself with a nice cold one? Enjoy the sweet taste of fayewine? Or perhaps you just love getting smashed? We have the contest just for you! Brandybuck Inn and Tavern is hosting an event in Endal: FUBAR'd! Dare to see how long you will last going shot for shot with some of the top competitors of Arda! This contest is a bit more challenging than the others we have had, so pay close attention. First, roll a d7, this will determine which booze shot your character will be taking, along with it's point value. Next, roll a d10 to determine how many shots your character just took. The third step is to roll a d20 to determine if your character continues on drinking or if they are down for the count. There is a chart to help determine where your character lands. Finally, make a post! If you do not post after each round, you will be disqualified! Note: If you roll and manage to get a fayewine shot, roll a d3 to see if your character is down for the count. If you are a god, Hunter, or an elf this does not apply to you. If your character continues on with the contest, the next round will be a d19, d18, d17 ect to see if your character is still in the competition. At most, you will have 20 rounds. When you score the water roll, you DO NOT roll for drunken state or how many you consumed. It is just one glass of water. On your next round, you gain a +2 to your drunken state roll. Do not forget to claim the water bonus when you get it! Don't forget to post your totals! Bonuses - Elves, Hunter, Gods do not have to roll a d3 for fayewine. If your character has the drinking, metabolism, or sommelier skill, you gain the bonus based on the level for this. If your character is an alcoholic or has alcoholism as a weakness, you gain +2 on your shots taken rolls. Also, if your character competed in the eating contest, gain a +2 to your "drunken" rolls for 6 rounds. Previous winners, Ace, Ariana, and Oniko gain a +1 for their drunken rolls. If you are Hunter - roll a d100 to determine whether you are recognized each round. 1-20, you are recognized. Also, Hunter gains +2 for his shots rolls but, does not gain the additional +2 for being an alcoholic. Furthermore, Hunter rolls the "drunken" roll for determining whether he has grown bored of the competition vs being drunk and out for the count. Prizes: First Place - 200 E/Q silver pieces, gold drinking goblet encrusted with dazzling red rubies, 10 bottles of the finest rum, one bottle of fayewine...yes, even for the humans if they manage to keep up with the elves!

Opening Parade April 22, 2015 Music would play out and sound the start of the festival’s opening parade! Marvelous floats would magically float through the city streets. Many people of interest were upon horses or the floats, waving to the crowd. Among these individuals were Galen, Seurin (Having been dragged by Ace), Daniel, Ariana, Elinthia, Aneka, and Isolde. Also, Wyvern would be seen with Regina and little Claire. Valmaxian and Flardryn too were spotted in the parade, closer to the end. Flower petals were thrown all about and the area looked so beautiful with the showering of petals. Many dancers and performances were scattered throughout the parade and it certainly held an elegant and regal fashion that many would link to the High elves. When the final set of horses came around, it was Ace dressed in knightly armor with a purple cloak of her homeland. The look on Ace’s face screamed nothing of joy and happiness. Ace looked like all business…a little more than usual. She rode ahead of Rathien, who was dressed a regal and most ethereal looking dress in a shade of light green. The material almost seemed to float upon the air. Upon her head was her beautiful crown that she wore most proudly. However, it could be easily noted that the King was not at her side. Fancy that. Those who knew the King well enough, would know that there was little way for him to have made it here. Rathien would address all in attendance, thanking them for coming to join in the festivities. “I am happy to announce to all of you the list of spectacular events in store for all of you this year. These are in no particular order, to keep all of you on your toes throughout the entirety of the festival: Flying Arrows, Bunny Safety, Idol Factor, Tough Wood, The Grand Cooking Competition, Livin’ on the Edge, The Queen’s Obstacle, The Amazing Art Contest, Hook, Line, and Sinker, Epic Devouring of All the Foods, Blue Moon, Petal Magic, Soarin’, The Dance of Your People, Slew of Arrows, The Great Bazaar, Swimming with the Fishes, FUBAR’d, and the Queen’s Feast. We welcome each of you to dabble in this year’s events. We look forward to seeing new competitors and to see if last year’s winners will be crowned again! Enjoy yourselves and welcome to the Queen’s Festival!” The crowd would cheer as fireworks soon went off overhead, to signify the start of the festival!

One can find shops such as The Thumbed Page, a bookstore that caters to numerous tastes; The Witching Hour, a shop that holds potions, charms, and many rare ingredients from around Arda; and Mystic Treats, a candy store meets café meets bakery. The Brandybuck Inn and Tavern is located in a lovely spot within the city, near the main festivities, keeping the patrons nice and close to the action.

To reach the elven city, one must ride the Pegasus escorts from Carnissorus Forest or use some form of flying magic. There is also the obvious way of getting there by use of wings. Teleporting is not effective for getting to Endal during these festivities. Also, those of wicked intentions or of evil hearts cannot enter into Carnissorus Forest. Nor can they find their way into the skies around Endal. Another note, a great holy barrier of sorts has come to form around the city with a number of powerful Holy Seven members in the area. Those who are of the undead or are a demon will be vaporized immediately. Half demons will light ablaze and find themselves puking all over. There is only ONE character exception to this. Also, if anyone should enter who has been resurrected from the dead, they will find themselves in a terrible sickly state.

All this being said, it's all fine and good if your characters wish to have sexual relations this week or get some extra touchy attention. However, this does not mean that going so far as to post your intimate step by step relations in the chat is okay. If it leads to that, fade your scene in the chat and take it to a messenger or leave it at that. Also, if you're going to roll your eyes or get squeamish over the content, find something else to entertain yourself with until the end of the week. Any rude and unnecessary comments will get you banned until the end of the event.

Another note that should be brought to attention about Endal, there is NO technology allowed. It is a very strict rule and law. Do not bring technology into Endal or you will be booted from the festivities.

In the end, this is meant to be fun. Let RP happen. Do not cause brawls and fights unless it is in the interest of decent RP and plot building. Do not stir up trouble. Do not get on each other’s cases. This is put together for a good time so, do not ruin it for anyone else. Also, no whining. You are not going to win every time and you are not going to get awesome rolls. It happens. I am also cracking down on people who roll and do not post because they give up based on their rolls. Take it as a challenge and show the chat some character development or make a silly with what you rolled. Lack of posting after a roll will lead to a curse of some kind or a banning from any other events in the near future.

Before the festival begins, all are welcome to come to Endal prior to for relaxation and to take a look around. It might be the best time to take in some sights and meet new friends before you feel pulled this way and that during the festival! Have fun and enjoy yourselves!

You all know the drill by now with these events. Information is posted on them and you follow the rules that go with the game or event. Feel free to interact with one another during this time or to even play out a race or competition between two characters. The more role playing that goes on, the better! Good luck and have fun! Bonuses to rolls are as follows:
Apprentice - +1, Artisan - +2, Master - +3, Genius - +4, Legendary - +5, Godlike - +7
