== IMPORTANT UPDATE ==
Due to the gatherings ban in Wisconsin and the state of the COVID-19 situation, we have cancelled the May LARP event. Instead, we are doing some online options for player involvement with their PCs based on current storyline.
== DATE & TIME ==
Important Dates:
Saturday, May 16th
- Resources & Organization Action Deadlines
- PC Involvement Deadline (See below)
== MEMBERSHIP INFO==
***Due to the event itself being cancelled, all players who sign up for a Basic, Standard, or Premium memberships will automatically be awarded the +2 bonus attendance exp.
MEMBERSHIP UPDATES AND EXP BOOSTS
Due to the Covid-19 situation, we have decided to do the following:
1) Continue offering CLOUT as a special Perk option that is available to everyone as one of the membership perks.
2) Expand on the +2 bonus Attendance exp to reflect on the events that would have had multiple days, so April will now offer +4 bonus Attendance exp for all memberships (on top of the base exp offered by each membership).
3) NEW; Add a “tiered exp bonus” based on the chosen membership of the month. Basic will give another +1, Standard +2, and Premium a +3 bonus. This is IN ADDITION to the Exp awarded by the membership AND the bonus attendance exp we are offering.
4) This “tiered exp bonus” will be retroactively added to the memberships purchased in March and will be added to any months that we have to cancel events during this pandemic.
For example, in May:
-Basic membership will award 8 exp (3 base + 4 attendance + 1 tier bonus)
-Standard will award 9 exp (3 base + 4 attendance + 2 tier bonus)
-Premium will award 13 exp (6 base + 4 attendance + 3 tier bonus)

- Standard allows 1 PC
- Premium allows 2 PCs
== STORY INFO & SPECIAL MECHANICS ==
With the situation at the Shield of Mardrun turning quite brutal last month, the combined forces of Ulven defenders at the Shield outposts and volunteers and adventurers coming to help were able to work together and defeat the significant Mordok force moving south. Numerous attacks crashed on the defensive outposts, putting their defenses and the mettle of the warriors stationed their to the test. Large bands of Mordok moved past the Shield to the south, heading into Ulven territory. Many groups of warriors and allied forces were dispatched to meet them in the field and defeat them. Outside of the protective fortifications of the Shield of Mardrun, these battles were brutal and bloody. Almost all of these Mordok forces were defeated, driven back to the north, or scattered and routed. However, the toll was heavy as many Ulven warriors and allied soldiers were wounded or killed. As things quiet down across the Shield of Mardrun, a coordinated effort has been made to tend to those wounded and in need of care.
The small village, Ti'volar, in Northern Clan Whiteoak territory, was spared the Mordok onslaught due to the response of Whiteoak warriors and their allies. The village has opened its homes and hearths to all to come and rest, have their wounds tended to, and tradespeople work their skills to help others. As always, a small economy rises from these concentrated efforts and merchants have come to interact with the efforts.
= MAY MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL MECHANICS =
1) Optional PC Involvement Encounter and Deadline
Players this month have some options to get involved in the current story line if they so choose. This DOES require Standard or Premium memberships to be involved!
A Standard membership allows a player to involve ONE PC in either option.
A Premium membership allows a player to involve ONE PC in both options -OR- TWO PCs, one PC in one option and a second PC in the other option.
You simply sign up via the link above and detail out which PCs are involved and what their "focus" is.
The two options available are:
1) Focus on personal or group downtime repairs & healing. (Repair armor, heal wounds)
2) Focus on local economy and social interactions. (Make money, interact with others)
The deadline for this involvement is Saturday, May 16th.
Players who assist their involvement with the encounter with Resources or Organization actions will make a significantly larger impact on their PCs involvement; whether that be more impactful or more profitable.
At the end of the month, we will release a story narrative detailing out how the story progresses.
