Since Gimle was abandoned…. no trade or excursions have been done to Gimle in generations. A dark and unfertile land most probably inhabited by wildlings – not worth visiting.
But now an expedition is planned.
– All players live in the OFF camp (initially)
– Players can not enter game area until larp starts Thursday 19.00
– First early entry will be railroaded;
only 10-12 years old spies the first hour,
13-15 year old scouts the second hour,
16-18 year old rangers the third hour.
Thursday 23rd July
Arrival day – All camp on South field
15.30 Thursday
The first hours are “railroaded”.
From the OFF the following people are sent in as first exploration.
Commander, General 1, Captain 1, 6 troops, and all young spies (10-12 years of age)
They march up to orcfort and make camp there. ONLY the spies are sent in from there. Their task is to detect if there are any inhabitants in the region. The rest make a fire and inspect the fort and reinforce it. This first group discuss logistics on how they are going to move into the region Gimle.
16.30 Next group march into Orc fort: Expedition leader, Council representative, Scientific leader, and all scientists, expedition members, council members and associates. Not the army.
17.00 the army under general #2 starts drilling the army at the sheep field. Battle musicians also.
17.00 Spies return to Orc fort and report what they seen. Next group of scouts are sent in (13-15 years of age). Their task is to try to “map” the place.
18.00 Scouts return and report what they seen. The young Rangers are sent in (16-18 years of age). Their task is to try to remove any obstructions from entering Gimleby.
19.00 or when possible – all players assemble outside Gimleby main gate (south): enter if the rangers managed to open the gate from the inside.
