*A tormish flag is set in the ground facing the gate of a fearsome looking castle.
After several attempts to cause a reaction on the unidentified guards, Holance and two companions decide to leave the area.*
Holance and his companions simply watched the keep without doing much more. After some time, they simply returned to Arabel and resumed their respective duties and tasks.

// totally missed this but this action is the equivalent of kross planting a banite flag in front of your gates. He wouldn't walk away

//Take my word for it. Our NPC guards are as dumb as bricks. Hahaha. Not only would planting a flag be alright, we'd be able to blow up half your place and no one would see who the attacker was.

//disagree completely. You've no idea what we are capable of. And to assume such of an npc stronghold is a clear break of the rules.

//assuming the reactions of npcs is against the rules.
Dm hawk made it clear to us when we attacked the capital years ago that our stronghold would be just as deadly.
Therefore, you approached a stronghold in the middle of the wilds with no witnesses around and planted a flag of their most hated enemy, at the very least you would have been hunted to the edge of the forest, but considering the scale and distance you would have been caught.
We don't "play around" when it comes to our defenses and are more than capable of dealing with three people.
Lastly you cannot deny that if I had done the same you would be doing exactly what i'm doing, complaining that I assumed your castle's reaction.
The point isn't that you have visited 4 times Stabbing. The point is that you visited 4 times and assumed that you where not going to be slaughtered.
If a dm sat on top and watched you do it then they should be ashamed and this is no longer a server I wish to be a part of.

//Actually, i was giving you 4 instances where people actually attacked our forces, with DM supervision, and our forces were made into chumps. One of the attacks included the death of a War Wizard (i repeat A WAR WIZARD!!!!) and there -still- isn't a bounty out for that person, No witnesses, nothing.
I'd just be happy Holance and his companions only left a flag and didn't actually assault the place and conquer it.

You aren't needed here thanks. |

//if it's a castle, how wouldn't people know about it? //just because an area covers one or two transitions, does not mean it's close by. Our keep is deep in the wilderness. There are no roads leading to it. I'm not even worried about the location being known though. If you want to approach the castle I feel that it is appropriate to make sure you have a dm overhead, and that you invite me to be on the server. I would happily meet you at the gate with my npc friends and slaughter you. Oh but wait, you only confront people in big crowds right? My bad. |

// I've always wondered why the Triadics were always getting attacked while none of them on, while other guilds seem to be granted protection from that sort of thing. Ran into it a while ago, decided not to even bother again.

I'm going to ask that this thread cease to be posted in OOCly, if you guys have something further to work out between yourselves, please start a PM thread between yourselves. If you feel the need to speak to a PA, myself and my fellow PA's inboxes are always open to talk and listen. Further more if you feel the need to, flick the DM of your choice a message to discuss things to a resolution.
I don't believe this sort of OOC derailment to a thread needed to take place publicly as it did and suggest in the future please attempt reaching out via private messages either to the creator or the DM team. The forums are often times the first point of contact for new and returning players and when they see these (and many other issues that arise on the forums) they're often left wondering if there's a point to giving the server a shot, not to mention it also wears current players out to constantly see this sort of thing happen on the forums.
FM.

Meanwhile, Dot wanders about as she does in the brush nearby. Spying on butts from a distance, charismatic butts and some butts that she can't discern the attractiveness of (npcs).

Many days later.
High up in a spire in the fort, a rather angry wizard yells at one of the officers.
"You just let them walk away!" he screams.
Not long after the fortress remains on high alert. Patrols are doubled, and the courtyard is filled with the stench of rotting flesh.

//Before jumping to conclusions, you need DM approval to make sure that the weather conditions were good enough for your NPC guards to actually see anything. There may have been heavy rain, fog, or wind that day. Maybe a bear stole the planted before any guards saw it. Just saying! We need a DM ruling pronto!  |

They would know that someone planted the flag, not necessarily whom. It's easy peasy. |

Thank you for locking the thread Extropy.
Rane and Stabbing, this is the sort of thing you need to discuss in PM's or in game with a DM or PA to moderate.
Merc, it's best to coordinate an action like this with a DM on scene.
Rane, you sort of outted yourself above. Additionally a DM post was made in a certain guild forum about 10 weeks ago...
Stabbing, the Triadic Guild Hall is a beacon which will make it a target for the powers of darkness. To an extent it's to your guild's credit that the Triadic Keep has been targeted. For any action that I've overseen, the NPC's were portrayed realistically and the precautions/measures taken by aggressors were treated fairly. Thinking about the time I've put in with your guild for aftermaths, trying to interact with you guys to portray a realistic recovery - next time I might not give as much.
BA, if you're referring to the circumstance I think you are, it's apples to bananas...
Time to relax and have fun folks. Leave this behind.
