Raiding

Explanation

A Viking isn’t a Viking without their ambitions to raid and conquer. For years Vikings and shield maidens left their homes to raid other villages, sail the oceans and travel the lands. A Viking is nothing without his battle scars and sharpened weapons. It’s their pride, their ambition and their life. For that we are bringing raiding to Ragnarok. In this topic you’ll find all the information necessary to dive into raiding, so read it to get a good idea and to know how it all works.

We will hold raid events once in a while, each village will get a turn. The more characters joining in a raid, the bigger and more difficult the raid will be. The more experienced we all get the further the raids can go. Ragnar didn’t explore all of England and France yet, so there is a lot left for our characters to find and conquer. Raiding will go according to what we always see in the series, a group of Vikings attacking a village, killing the people, taking the women and stealing all the gold there is to find. This will be no different, we made sure this can go as smooth and free as you all desire it.

How can you join in a raid?

The first step to raiding is involving your character in the raid. This you do by applying in the application topic you will find in the sub board of where the raid will be held. Applying your character in a raid will cost 10 influence points. There will be two weeks time to apply to a raid and you can only go if your character is from the village where the raid is organized.

Who can join a raid?

Raiding isn’t for the thralls of the village. Not everybody is capable or the right age to go raiding. For that following ranks are allowed to go raid;
- King/Earls
- Huskarl
- Thane
- Hersir
- Radningar
- Vikings
- Shieldmaidens
- Thegn
- Boatbuilder (for repairing and maintenance of the boats)
- Healers (for injuries)
- Blacksmith (for weapons and armory)

How does a raid go?

Before the raid starts both admins will discuss the terrain, the village, the possible obstacles and difficulty of the raid. The more characters joining the raid the more intense the raid will be. We’re gonna give you all as much detail and visual on the village they will raid in one general information topic. Once that is set one of the admins, or the highest ranking member in the raid will start the first topic in which they arrive before the village. This is a general groups topic in which everybody has to reply once and before the actually raid. In this possible tactics can be talked over or tasks divided. Once that is done everybody is free to raid. You will get one “event” out of a randomizer with positive and negative situations. Around that event you can plot or do something.
For example;

Ubbe Ragnarsson // Event: Gets hurt // He will need to get hurt somewhere along the way
Björn Ragnarsson // Event: Finds weapon room // He will need to find a weapon room somewhere along the way

With this we give the characters the freedom to make their own story throughout the raid. The event will be randomized so we won’t know what you will get. If there are more positive events than negative the raid will be successful, just as the other way around, if there are more negative events than positive the raid will fail.
