Objective: Students will work in teams, using various basic charms to aid in a dire task. There has been much discussion between the two cities on whether or not students are ready to move on into more dangerous territory. Beginner's charms will start with a team oriented event. It is most important for as many students from each house to participate as possible. Students will have to balance helpful charms for their housemates, and distracting charms for adversaries.

Students, I want to warn you that the coming stages in your training may very well risk your life.

~ Headmaster Marfu


Charms: a phrase that is inscribed or spoken to achieve a certain magical affect. This is not be confused with anything charming, luck charms, or even Lucky Charms. Charms come in all forms: defense, healing, summoning, etc...

Assignment (3 points)
1. Arrive at the scheduled location with a robe colored to represent your city's house in the academy.
2. Do not come mounted. You may stable your mount in Papua.
3. Make sure you have plenty of reagents packed away to complete the task.
4. Make sure you are on time. This is not an event I can simply gate you to, since it will be in constant movement.
5. Form a party with your city and I will explain all the rules and details in Papua. How challenging the task is will depend on your teamwork, and the lengths at which the other house will go to win. Most of the danger will be from PvE, but there will be some light PvP as well.

** As with all events, please do not come with anything you do not mind losing.


** Bonus points awarded for tasks will be announced in Papua **

Event Summary:

Students are instructed to race a super heavy bag from an unknown location to the finish line here at Papua's bridge. One person is selected as the carrier for each team. Moonglow was represented by a new student, Fwerp. Magincia was represented by Zeus, then swapped to Moonsong, which I think caused a little confusion. No direct damage spells, curses, summons, barding skills, tames, or mounts. Students were expected to keep their carrier alive, and disrupt the other team with various field spells. The wild card was the starting location.

I ran around the area looking for the red bag. I figured they quickly took a different route. Just in case, I recalled bag to the finish line bridge and it was still sitting there!! I quickly gated to the start location and pulled the bag in with me. By this time, Moonglow was about 1-2 minutes ahead. I dropped off the bag with two Magincia players (I forget who, I was in a rush) and rushed to see where everyone was at.

Many of the students push out of the range of the ophidians and push for the long run to Papua bridge.

I actually thought the Magincia players gave up and left. I waited a little while longer and here they came still a team pushing to finish. Good spirit here! A lesser group would have whined and given up.
