Gather Game - 15.10.14 – Outside of Cliffside Sea Hold – Just after 3 pm
((All players have five days to respond. Look in a location, anywhere, for a red cloth and you will receive a PM regarding your success. If you have questions about how the game works, you may PM me and assume your character also hears the answer from Nikko. This is the first and easiest round. Subsequent rounds will have less available items (therefore, players posting first will obtain items) and will have a smaller window of days for players to respond. All participants will 7 receive Gather Points (exchangeable for site marks or other items), and each round your group makes it through is worth another 7 points. The winner will get an additional 20 points. Have fun and if you enjoy this game or have suggestions for other games please PM me your comments. Go go go!))
The event staff, all three of them, were milling around out on the beach. The musicians had done them the favor of announcing the game and there were a few signs up around the Hold. They were hopeful for a fair turn out. It was all just for fun, there were no prizes for winning, save perhaps a particularly tasty treat that one stall owner had donated in hopes of drumming up business for himself. The premise of the game was fairly simple. There would be multiple steps, to be explained, in which items either had to be found, taken somewhere, and some clues and riddles scattered along the way.
People arrived and the particularly tall, tan man grinned and stood up on a rock to seem even more important. They could all probably see him anyway.
“Welcome and thanks for coming to play! The good Indro Talko has donated a particularly tasty creation to go to the winner. He has a stall here, for afterward, if you aren’t so lucky to win a taste of his cooking,” the man started, giving proper thanks to the cook for his donation. “The game is simple enough, and also complicated enough,” he grinned, “First, we have hidden a number of red scraps of cloth around the perimeter of the Hold and a few in other places. There should be enough for everyone here to get one, but you know, numbers were never my strong point. Find one and bring it here to the lovely Kinna,” he gestured to the woman on the team, who waved. “She will give you a clue as to how to find the next thing you want, which is a rock with a colored X on the bottom of it. It’s possible you could find a rock like this without a red cloth, but it’s rather unlikely. With the rock you’ll find a riddle. Solve it and follow the instructions. If you do so correctly, our other helper, Jinree, will be there to send you on the final step. Complete that last step first, and you win!” He hoped that explanation was simple enough. “So that’s cloth, back here to Kinna’s clue, Xed rock, riddle, speak with Jinree, follow his instructions and you’re done, with Cook Talko’s sweet baked treat all to yourself or selves. You may work in teams or by yourself. I’m Nikko and I’ll be judging if anything happens that seems amiss. Is this all clear?” he asked, and answered any questions participants had.
“Well, if that’s all, then be off with you all! Make your teams, or set out alone. Find those red cloths! …GO!”
