**Combat Rules**
Weapons must be meter weapons and you MUST be wearing a sheath to be able to use it in combat.
There must be TWO actively role-playing men in a hold for meter combat of ANY kind to take place. These includes...
RP Combat of stealing women or bonds. Dont come here thinking women alone in a hold are easy pickings . . . it will not be recognized as the Village and Hall both would have been full of people.
In the case of a Raid, there must be two role-played visits of 120 minutes each prior to any raid taking place in order for a valid reason for being here to be established. This RP should be NCd and sent to an Admin prior to the raid
NO Climbing Mountains, unless you're Spiderman, and I have yet to read about Spiderman in the series written by Norman.
Use legal weapons only (see weapons list).
All metered weapons MUST BE VISIBLE on your avatar, even if covered in RP by a cloak or skirt. RP weapons may be considered "hidden".
No jumping in combat.
Male Weapons: ALL Gorean melee weapons
FW Weapons: dagger, broom, pots and pans, your fingernails . . . be creative and defend your home.
Slaves: Brooms, sticks, pots. They will not keep or have access to 'weapons' for combat purposes. though it will be expected and you should expect that a slave will defend her owner's property, be it her or his holding. However slaves that come in with raiders will not be recognized as such being as Free did not travel with their slaves to fight.
Slaves may not attack, IN ANY WAY, the person of a Free Man or Woman. It is the right of the Free person to take that slave's life, regardless of whether they are owned by the grid or privately. There will be NO DRAMA associated with this
~All actions must be role-played: binding, grappling, sailing or anything you do, you might have to prove afterwards if it comes to a mod's decision. The following is expected :
--Binding 3 posts
--Disarming 1 post per weapon
--Unbinding 1 post
--Self unbinding 5 posts within the frame of 10 minutes, because in reality it would take forever to unbind yourself in a capture knot which tightens when you struggle
--Grappling 3 posts
--Lock picking 5 SHOUTED (Hold crtl when you post) posts
--Aiding 3 posts
~~Each post needs to consist of at least 10 words in order to be valid. We do not expect novel authors in the midst of battle, but understand this is a world built from the content of your role-play, and give us something worth responding to.
~No one beside a mod can call anything invalid. Please continue role-play if there is a situation you find doubtful and contact one of the mods in IM. Avoid at all cost OOC accusing or insulting. We won't tolerate that and will react swiftly.
~You cannot return after a raid for a rescue or a trade before A FULL 24 HOURS have passed. This also applies to TPing out during the middle of a raid. Use your brain: realistically it would have taken you some time to get anywhere in Torvaldsland. We are isolated and remote and it's very brutually cold in many places here. In addition, not come across as rude, not that it would trouble me much if I do, but I'm sure we'll be busy RPing with your captured group member . . . And let me tell you, we LOVE to tell a story . . . they are most likely tied up, so they have to listen . . . you should be nice and let them
