Krysh

Revision as of 23:39, 5 February 2016

In the old gnoll language, Krysh means blood. For a gnoll to be the blood of their clan, they should bring pride to their kin and represent all their clan stands for. The clan's blood must run through their veins.

Before The Trial:

• Petitioner must announce their desire to become krysh at a national, weekend / week-long event (this cannot be the same event the krysh trials take place). The announcement must be made by the event's feast, or it is null and void.
• Petitioner uses this announcement to convince all gnolls present they are a good fit for leadership / Krysh; at least 2/3 of gnolls present must endorse the petitioner, with a minimum of 2 endorsements required. A petitioner cannot vote for / endorse themselves.
• A gnoll may be convinced to give their support to a petitioner in a variety of ways, though combat-based trials are preferred. Also, no trial can endanger the life of the petitioner / be super douche-y.

   NOTE: there is no minimum clan-size required, so long as the gnoll can convince members of other clans.
   NOTE: there is only one krysh per clan.

Basic Description (After Endorsement is Earned):

• 30 kills per weapon set w/ six weapon combos of petitioner’s choice (simos count as kills). Trial must take place over the course of a national weekend / week-long event, and another monster must keep tally (gnoll preferred, pinky as last resort).

Details / Mechanics:

• Allowable Weapon Sets: SnB, Flo, Single Blue, Projectiles (archery, javs, rocks), Spear, Red (any length), Single Dagger

• After selecting a weapon set, the petitioner must obtain 30 kills before moving to their next set. Kills with other weapon sets during this time do not count. Kills while disabled (i.e. a SnB or flo who loses an arm) still count.

• Armor IS allowed during this portion of the trial.

• Petitioner reports their kills to tallier after every round. If the required number of kills are not reached (over the entirety of the event), the petitioner does not gain the title. They may try at the next appropriate event without penalty, however.

• Ideally, the tallier should be watching the petitioner all event to confirm their kills.
• A petitioner may add 1v1s to their kill count, but only 1) after explaining the process to their opponent 2) once per person (regardless of weapon set). If the petitioner should lose the 1v1, they do NOT receive a second attempt and may not re-challenge the opponent for a Krysh kill.

   NOTE: the 1v1 opponent must have been fighting for 1 year or longer (with a strong preference toward those of equal or greater skill, to be assessed by the petitioner); opponent must not be intoxicated AND also willing to fight.
   NOTE: With the exception of 1v1s, all kills must take place during heralded battles before sundown (no killing the drunkards).

• Two or more gnolls may undergo the krysh trial at an event. If two (from the same clan) complete the trial, the two face-off in a best-of-50 1v1 combat trial. Participants are free to chose any weapon set (i.e. no requirement to match their opponent) and switch weapon sets as often as they wish. Armor is NOT allowed. Whoever wins obtains the title of krysh, while the loser becomes "krysh-in-waiting" (title is work in progress).

Challenging / Deposing Krysh:

• First, a petitioner must earn the title of krysh; they then become "krysh-in-waiting" (title is a work in progress).
• From there, they must defeat the current krysh in a best of 50, 1v1 combat trial (same rules as 1v1 challenge described above). If the challenger wins, they become the new krysh and the previous krysh becomes a "scar / scab." (title is a work in progress)
• A krysh can only be challenged by a "krysh-in-waiting" once every three months.

   NOTE: if the acting krysh retires, the "krysh-in-waiting" immediately gains the title.
