General Activities
Martial Activities:
War is War and Hell is Hell , and today you will have taste of both. Seems the warriors attending Hawkwood's Momento Mori event all slept like death and woke up in a hotbed of trouble. They all stand by the river Styx and looming over them is the ferryman demanding his pay.
While they all brought their weapons, shields and gleaming armor, the fighters could only scrape enough coins together to buy passage to send but one of their souls to Elysium.
How better to determine who will represent Atlantia in the halls of the worthy dead than a grand tournament? A Round Robin tourney shall be held, with the top four warriors vying for passage across the Styx.
Charon accepts the terms, and chuckles as he adds a sinister twist to rules...what that shall be you must enter the lyst to find out.
