it's all thanks to you guys.
The family feeling is what makes Ascalon the best.
I look forward to a great 4th year.

Long live Ascalon!

Will we have a SF tourny? I feel myself good in it

Looking forward to all of this stuff, but especially to running my own quest!
Happy Ascalon Day!

Passage to Ascalon
14-17 July

1st stage
14-16 July
The Ascalonese Gallery
The first stage of the Passage to Ascalon is inspired by the theme of the year: art.
Starting from the 14th on July, you'll get a card for every battle fought on the route of the Passage to Ascalon (Kasidim - Ashkelon). Part of the pillages will be run by myself, but if you run a pillage I can't attend, you can claim your cards posting a screenshot of a booty division, on the condition that it is displaying an island on said route in the mini map.
Each card will depict a painting. The more paintings you'll recognize, the more points you'll get. Obviously, the more battles you attend, the more chance you'll have.
Cards will be "delivered" on Sunday in the form of PM on this forum.

2nd stage
17 July
The race
Glimmer of Light and Knights of Saint George will face each others in a ship race from Cook to Ashkelon Arch, at the end of which Lord Piratus' Quest is going to start.
Further details about this stage will be posted tomorrow.

Do not miss the first pillage of the Passage to Ascalon tomorrow!

Race to Ashkelon
17 July, 15:00 Ascalon time
second stage of the Passage to Ascalon

Let's now see how the second stage is supposed to work.

Both our crews must have a ship ported at Cook (if Glimmer don't, we'll give the deed of one of those that are currently sailing on the Passage to Ascalon).
Royals are not participating for their own crew and they will rather job to balance the crews in case one outnumbers the other.
Ships are supposed to deport first and set sail following the broadcasted instruction.
The ship that first comes to Ashkelon Arch wins.
10 sangreazuls to the members of both crews and 10 more the winners.

This event is linked to...

Lord Piratus' Quest
17 - 18 July

The purpose of the mission is re-forging the blades of Ascalon at Lord Piratus' stall on Scrimshaw Island.

Once the ships of the Race to Ashkelon port to Ashkelon Arch, the quest can start.
Entrants will have to deliver the following goods to Piratus' IM stall on Scrimshaw:
3 units of cubanite, 6 units of enamel (of any colour), 3 units of masuyite, 3 units of thorianite, 3 units of iron.
The iron must come from Ashkelon Arch and must be withdrawn delivering a bid ticket on the ship sailing the Passage to Ascalon. It can be moved to the entrant's ship only from there.
The iron as well as the rest of the goods must be delivered from the same ship.
10 sangreazuls go to the first who accomplishes this task.

In order to complete the falchion the stall needs labour and especially 15 hours of expert labour. We challenge the participants to make the highest number of their best Keen Edges (and post a their screenshots) before the completion of the sword (but no more than 15):
10 point for 6 pieces left,
20 pts for 5
30 pts for 4
40 pts for 3
50 pts for 2
75 pts for 1
100 pts for a Masterpiece
10 sangreazuls and a magic anvil to the blacksmith with the highest score and...
...a bonus game for all those who score at least 300 points.
10 sangreazuls to all those who complete the first task and provide at least 1 hour of expert labour to your stall before the completion of the sword.

Blackseagull, Yamel, Defrass, Auburn get 5 cards.
Acerin gets 4.

Sorry for not being able to run a pillage this morning. I'm working on the trivia that I'm supposed to post on Monday!

Don't forget to participate into the Race to Ashkelon.
Today, at 15:00

If one of the crew shouldn't have any officer online, the race will be turned into a pillage.

The race is over!

The Knights won, but it was well-contended until Glimmer of Light got engaged.

Acerin, Imadd, Minaa, Puzzleblind and Yamel get 20 azuls.
Captinthe, Enchantment, Foriyuho and Piratus get 10 azuls.

We have a new Lord! Congratulation, Yamel!

Huzzah! Congratulations Yamel!

Yes, the second part of Piratus' Quest (you have to post screenshots of blacksmithing ending with at least a Keen Edge) and the trivia that I'm going to post tomorrow.

The first 19 cards have been delivered to all those who participated into the Passage to Ascalon. Please post or send me a screenshot of the last booty division for the last bonus cards!

Ahoy.

Am I supposed to post the blacksmithing screenshot here or somewhere else?

Well, errr, ahem... as usual, I had problems with my speed, so I could only take a screenshot of this:


I had 2 pieces left by the way.
Does it earn me any points?

Lovely! So you want more paintings? Yarrr! Just ask!

Speaking of which, I know the link to the second painting is currently broken. I have already contacted Photobucket to solve the issue.
Tomorrow you'll have the rest of the cards you earned for the last pillage.
