• If you do not wish to be taken prisoner it is advised you vacate the area.

Assassins/Assassinations

• Assassins should always make sure their victim is not AFK before attacking.
• Should the assassination fail, the victim may not be targeted again for 24 hours. Failure of an assassination can be classified as:

- The assassin failing to drop the target and retreating.
- The victim fleeing the scene and avoiding defeat.
- The victim defeating the assassin.


At times GMs may arrange alternative rules between one another, if this takes place you will be alerted. However, in all other occasions the rules apply exactly as they are written.

Combat rules apply only to RP-PvP, not to PvM (in other words, if you want to use parasitic poison against an ogre, or have a cu-sidhe following you around in town, that's fine; just don't do it in combat).
