Concerning the battle:

You know how these draft posts are always obnoxiously long, even without the lists? Well, all of the info you need it up at the Nitpicker's Guide.

DRAFT AND ENEMY DETAILS CAN BE FOUND HERE

• First and foremost, MOST -IF NOT ALL- OF THE FIGHTING WILL BE ASSUMED; in other words, without mods playing the NPCs. If you absolutely must -MUST- play out something of great importance, please let me know and I'll provide an NPC, we can set up a log, something. But please, unless you need it for a specific purpose, don't ask for NPC battles. It will be largely uneventful and full of your character kicking ass and taking names and knocking down buildings and enemies, etc etc. This is to give you guys some freedom as well as keep us from a) getting overloaded and/or b) holding you back.
  
  
  
  
• Hey now... that's not a map! Well this time, there isn't one. The battle will be taking place in a thick, steamy tropical rain forest that not even the Malnosso have ever mapped. It is massive and dangerous, being one of the natural habitat of weld Shift Hunters, familiar creatures from the previous AU Event. But even they are not the most dangerous creatures present. Wild animals include a variety of large jungle cats, massive snakes, poisonous bugs and frogs, crocodiles, piranhas, and all manner of horrible creatures. There might even be a few jungle-related monsters from other canons running around out there.
  
  
• The forest is quite massive, but there will be three drop off points, each five miles from each other, in a triangular deployment. Among the many sights will include massive waterfalls, dangerous rocky rivers, swampy marshlands, and at the center of it all (around which the deployment zones are) is one massive tree, with a diameter of about a hundred feet across its base and standing over a thousand feet in height. The roots from the tree extent outwards for hundred of feet all around. Several other large sequoia sized trees are also present, many tangled together from the overgrowth of branches and vines.
  
  
• Signs of civilization exist amongst the branches of these large trees, including the largest one. These include crude tree houses, connected by rope bridges. They seem to be abandoned, but only recently. Buried or covered under overgrowth are the ruins of a past civilization, though the stony surfaces are long since worn away. What little writing remains is reminiscent of that in the old desert temple. Unfortunately there is too little left to be of any use. Some of these ruins may prove to be adequate shelter, but little more than that.
  
  
• Oh yeah and the Third Party is here. There is no specified number for how many there are. Despite being deployed for four days, the draftees will not be able to wipe them all out. In fact, on the last day, the draftees will be withdrawn from the battlefield once the enemy begins to overwhelm them in strength and numbers. Amongst those included will be a large host of normal soldiers, more Elites than previous battles, plenty of Shifters, and trained Shift Hunters.
  
  
• The Third Party are well accustomed to combat in the rainforest and will make great use of it in their attacks. They may even use elements of geurilla warfare to attack, as well as crude traps (such as nets, pits, snares, and other such things) against the draftees. They will be as comfortable fighting on the ground as they are in the treetops and may attempt to lure draftees into dangerous areas, where wild animals or other natural dangers can endanger them. On the last day, the forest will be receiving a monsoon, which will result in a massive downpour and flooding and raining and... yes, quite miserable.
  
  
• As for the IC announcement, the actual draft announcement will be handled differently. Expect that post to be on Monday-Wednesday.
  
  
• ALL IS NOT LOST. Because of how dangerous this all is, Bil has arranged to provide our heroes with some help. Namely, he'll be enabling them to use Filial Magic outside the barrier. It will be twice as potent (due to the lack of a power cap), though it will run the risk of attracting Shift Hunters. There will be a Bil post about this where he will allude to it.
  
  That's about it, then. Questions, comments, plotting? All of it goes here.
