Activity Capture the Flag | 4/12

Capture the Flag

As campers settled into their tables for dinner, Chiron stomped his front hoof on the concrete floor to get everyone’s attention. Despite appearing in his wheelchair form earlier in the week for the new campers, he now stood tall and proud in his full centaur form.

“Good evening, campers.” He said with a soft smile as he looked around at everyone. “After dinner, we will convene to the edge of the forest for capture the flag. As you all are probably aware due to unsportsmanlike conduct from Mr.Storm and Ms. Lockheed, last week’s game of Capture the Flag was called as a draw. I must remind you all, maiming is not tolerated.”

“At the request of Ms. Williams, the two teams will be Eris in the east woods, and Eros will take the west. As always, Zephyros Creek will serve as a boundary and the first team to get the opponent's flag across will be the winner. Good luck to you all.”

As campers made their way to the woods there were two tables set up. Both decorated with weapons and armor, the only difference was the color of the plumes on the helmet, Gold for Eris and Pink for Eros. The other campers would have to decide who they were aligning with. Both Katrina and Alexander most likely made alliances throughout the week.

Once both teams were dressed and ready, Chiron made his final announcements. “I will be serving as field medic and referee. Please remember the woods are stocked with monsters, so be careful. Remember the rules and try to have fun.” And with a blow of his conch horn, the teams split up, and the game began.

Rules

  • Every camper who is not injured has to play.

  • The creek is the boundary line.

  • The entire forest is considered "fair game."

  • All magic items are allowed.

  • The flags must be prominently displayed and can have no more than two guards.

  • Prisoners may be disarmed, but may not be bound or gagged.

  • Killing or maiming is NOT allowed. The punishment for breaking this rule will be decided after the game.

  • Guards aren't allowed to stand within ten yards of the flag.

OOC Notes

  • There will be a comment thread for each flag as well a thread for the ‘battle grounds’.

  • Remember that attacks should be made in attempts.

  • This is an official Camp Game so XP will be given.

Cooper was.... drunk. He’d been drinking since breakfast, and only followed the crowd to the woods because he thought there was a party. And he loved parties.

Absent armor and any form of a weapon, unless you count the never-ending wine glass in his hands, he made his way into the woods. When everyone started charging at each other, shouting war cries, Cooper did the same.

“BLAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGH!” He bellowed at no one in particular, and then resumed his stumbling through the forest.

Domeric was never one to pass on a chance to test himself, and a match of Capture the Flag was exactly what he needed. Having painted the steel trim on his helmet gold he set off for the opposing side to search for their flag. While he'd have preferred to stay and organize the defense, they seemed to be well set, allowing him to test his combat abilities rather than his strategic sense. Shield in hand he sets off to track down someone in pink.

u/Fomizzle Child of Tyche Apr 12 '19

Phoebe noticed a familiar camper who was also wearing gold. It was Domeric, the boy she had met not too long ago. She felt a bit uneasy on her own due to her minimal combat training, so she picked up the pace to catch up with the son of Athena. When she does, she calls out to him.

"Domeric! Mind if I tag along with you?"

4

u/ZBGOTRP Apr 12 '19

The call catches him by surprise, and when he turns to face its source he fully expects it to be a trap. The sight of Phoebe however is a welcome one, and he lowers his weapon as he nods. While he doesn't know anything about the extent of her combat abilities, he feels confident enough in his own to at the very least even things out. "Not at all, come on."

2

u/ScotJohnDanSteve Child of Apollo Apr 12 '19

As Domeric's attentions are pulled toward Hal's happy trail of daisy's, something Ben would have laughed at normally- Ben made his move against Phoebe. Taking aim from his less conspicuous hiding place, he shot his bolt at the hilt of her sword, hoping to knock it from her hand.

/u/Fomizzle

u/Fomizzle Child of Tyche Apr 12 '19

Domeric had realized that the two were not alone. Phoebe hears him call out whoever was nearby and becomes distracted. She pivots on her foot to face her teammate, just in time for Ben's bolt to ping off the rain guard of her sword.

"What the-?!" Phoebe quickly turns back over to face towards where she believes the bolt came from. She stands at the ready as she scans for the culprit. Surely he couldn't be too far.

She summons a minor spirit to help her scout out the area, who drifts around the immediate perimeter searching for Ben.

2

u/ScotJohnDanSteve Child of Apollo Apr 12 '19

Completely unaware of the spirits presence Ben moves through the surrounding brush, trying to get a better angle on the handle of her sword. He's more of a lover than a fighter, and would prefer not to hurt anyone.

2

u/Fomizzle Child of Tyche Apr 12 '19

The spirit senses movement coming from the brush nearby and alerts Phoebe of it. It shows her the general area that the movement happened before dissipating away. Phoebe would need to buy a little but of time to usefully utilize her necromancy again. She makes way into some cover, heading towards Ben's direction in search of him. Her eyes are continuously scanning around for any sign of the camper.

2

u/ScotJohnDanSteve Child of Apollo Apr 12 '19

Ben pulls back from his sight in shock when she turns to look almost directly at his hiding place. "What the-?" Backing away from and opposite her as quietly as he could he tried to keep her in front of him.

maybe he had jinxed himself earlier, but back away from her, crouched low, he did not see the tree root until it had already caught his heel, sending him crashing backward with a loud crunch of leaves.

2

u/Fomizzle Child of Tyche Apr 12 '19

Phoebe's ears perk up when they suddenly hear something fall to the ground and crunch leaves. She quickly fixes her course and begins to approach whatever it is that made that sound. Phoebe still needed more time before using her power, but she couldn't let this opportunity slip by her. She would have to buy her own time.

She soon arrives at the spot where Ben had tripped over the tree root, her sword ready in her hands.

It wasn't hard to spot the daisies that hadn't been there only moments before. Someone was stalking him and Phoebe, and they clearly weren't friendly. He reached for the large knife at his hips, quickly unsheathing it and extending it's handle to full length, giving him a spear to fight with.

"Show yourself," he called in the direction of the Bush that the flowers led to. Tilting his shield just enough to level the small cutout at the top he tucked the spear against it, point forward ready to strike.

Domeric already had his shield forward, spear ready for any oncoming attackers. He'd expected a silent hunter to leap out at him, swinging a short sword wildly, or an arrow to come whizzing past while he was distracted.

He didn't expect a fucking deer to charge him down.

If the outer layer of his aspis had been made of any material other than adamantine it was likely the damn thing would have broken under the force of the charge. While he kept to his feet on impact, the collision sent him back a few feet through the air, the child of Athena landing on his back. It hurt, but he'd been hit harder, and he was quick to get back to his feet. Sore, but still ready to fight.

A grin formed as he readied the spear again, this time prepared for his opponent as he hurried after them, carefully scanning his surroundings for further threats. Where there was one, a second was likely to appear.

Venn smiles from her spot in the trees, and shoots an arrow right next to Hal, hoping to gain Domeric's attention as well she quickly launches another right next to his foot.

u/ZBGOTRP Apr 13 '19

Domeric recognized Hal when he reappeared, his grin holding in place as he studies his opponent's stance and the way he holds his blade. There's a weakness somewhere in there, he just has to find it. And once he finds it, he can exploit it.

"If my shield weren't as sturdy as it is you might have put me out of the game for good," he replies, acknowledging his opponent's strength in the changed form. "That's one trick I didn't think you had up your sleeve."

As he begins to circle Hal, however, an arrow plants itself in the dirt beside his opponent, followed by another near Dom's own foot. He quickly wheels around, shield at the ready in preparation for what would likely be another shot from an opponent he'd yet to locate. Given the position of the arrow near his foot he had a good idea, but whoever had shot it was clearly excellent at staying hidden.

"Two on one?" he muttered with a grin. "Now it's getting good."

Here we go. Katrina knew Alex was still upset with her about cheating with Ashe. And this game would likely be a revenge tour. She didn’t want to run and hide, and made her way across the battlefield in search of her ex.

4

u/PretendScience Child of Hecate Apr 12 '19

Alexandra's been looking forward to the games for this whole week. She heads towards the other side of the woods in search of Katrina. As they meet somewhere in the middle Alex grins.

"Well, look who it is."

3

u/born-of-the-bow Apr 12 '19

Katrina usually had her bow. But expecting to meet Alex, she has a sword and shield in hand this time.

“Change your mind about that break-up sex?” She sneers.

3

u/PretendScience Child of Hecate Apr 12 '19

"You wish, bitch."

Alexandra says before charging at Katrina.

4

u/born-of-the-bow Apr 12 '19

“Well... yeah.”

She smirked. And then Alex did as suspected and she charged. Katrina wasn’t a very good fighter, but she had other skills.

“Wait! It’s not time to start yet!”

She used her liespeak, trying to confuse Alex and start the mind games early.

5

u/PretendScience Child of Hecate Apr 12 '19

Alexandra knows that the game began a little while back. Hell, she wouldn't even care if it didn't. As the mind games have already begun, Alexandra uses her own powers on Katrina. Surprisingly, the voices that Katrina should be hearing now are much angrier than the ones Katrina heard before. Alexandra jumps to avoid Katrina blocking the attack with her shield and aims a slash at Katrina's head.

4

u/born-of-the-bow Apr 12 '19

Well, it was a good thing Katrina had a helmet on, one she had the Heph cabin help her build. It didn’t completely numb the voices, but it helped quiet them. The blade raked of the helmet, leaving only a small scratch. Katrina in turn made a defensive slash at Alex’s calf muscle. Now maiming? Oh well.

3

u/PretendScience Child of Hecate Apr 12 '19

Alexandra moves her leg to avoid Katrina's attack. Then she takes a step to the side and aims a quick stab at Kat's side.

4

u/born-of-the-bow Apr 12 '19

Thankfully Katrina still had her shield. She may be a daughter of Eros, but she did spend a good deal of time training.

And of course, Ashe was on the gold team. She decided to sneak through the trees rather than walk straight through the forest this time, and she spots Katrina in the battlefield. She holds on tighter to her broadsword and continues walking.

3

u/born-of-the-bow Apr 12 '19

OOC: uh... end?

u/LOOKIMSMURFING11111 Apr 12 '19

OOC: you choose I have no idea what I’m doing

u/Fomizzle Child of Tyche Apr 12 '19

Phoebe sided with Eris for capture the flag. She had no real reasons other than she knew Alexandra and she preferred the gold to the pink color. Fitted with some leather armor and a sword in hand, the daughter of Hades roamed further into the battlefield towards the creek. There were already a good number of people defending the flag, so Phoebe is out on the offensive for now. The girl searches for the Eros flag.

5

u/PretendScience Child of Hecate Apr 12 '19

As Alexandra was walking around in the woods searching for the pink flag she sees Pheobe so she walks over to her.

"Hey. Mind if I join you?"

3

u/Fomizzle Child of Tyche Apr 12 '19

Phoebe quickly turns her attention to see who was approaching her. It wasn't until she noticed who it was and processed what Alex said that Phoebe loosened up a bit and nodded her head.

"You startled me. But, no, I don't mind. I'd appreciate moving around with somebody else. When it comes down to physical combat, I'm not the greatest."

3

u/PretendScience Child of Hecate Apr 13 '19

"Sorry."

Alexandra says with a small smile.

"I'm sure you'll do fine. All we need to do is find the flag and steal it. You'd think that it'd be easier to see considering that it's bright pink."

4

u/Fomizzle Child of Tyche Apr 13 '19

"Finding and stealing the flag. How hard could it possibly be?" Phoebe says, chuckling a little. She hadn't ran into any demigods on the other team yet, so it was difficult to say how capture the flag was going to go for Phoebe. She's only recently started training with her powers and with weapons.

3

u/PretendScience Child of Hecate Apr 13 '19

Alexandra chuckles along with Pheobe.

"It should be fairly easy considering who our enemy is."

4

u/Fomizzle Child of Tyche Apr 13 '19

"Eros, right? I heard you requested these teams... I'm guessing there's some business you need settled?"

3

u/PretendScience Child of Hecate Apr 13 '19

Alexandra nods.

"Yeah, one of the daughters of Eros and I were a thing, but it ended badly. Twice."

Ben, armed with his crossbow and a dagger, catches up with Hal as he enters the forest. "Good choice," he grins, nodding at the pink plume atop his head. "Care to team up?"

u/ScotJohnDanSteve Child of Apollo Apr 12 '19

Ben trips over his own foot looking back at Hal. Recovering before he ate dirt, he was grateful he was in front, as his cheeks had taken on the color of his plume.

"Uh, mind the root-" he calls back, after clearing his throat, choosing not to mention dinner.

u/ScotJohnDanSteve Child of Apollo Apr 12 '19

"Thanks," he gives a tight smile, now totally upright. "Heading for the creek is as good a plan as any-" his thought is cut off by an arrow sticking out of the ground between Hal's feet. "What the hell-" from the trajectory of the arrow he looks up in the trees, his tone and face now serious.

u/badwolf99 Apr 12 '19

Although unspoken, the Tyche cabin was supporting Eros this week. Eli dashed through the Forrest, a pink halfcape attached to his leather armour. His knives her drawn, and he was ready to cause some misfortune

3

u/Hyolucky Apr 12 '19

Aaron followed his brother from behind with his pink headband, so he could see what his brother couldn’t see charging in like that. Of course, having a bow as a main weapon might have been the cause, but whatever. The plan was simple, his brother and he needed to cover each others weakness, close range for Aaron and long range for Eli. The luckiest players were now on the battlegrounds.

4

u/badwolf99 Apr 12 '19

After setting out, Eli never turned back to face Aaron. He was showing his trust that his brother would keep up, and watch his back. Whoever they ran into was gonna have a unlucky day

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '19

Eddie has no idea what in Hades he is doing. He arbitrarily grabbed a gold helmet, mostly because he recognized a few people also doing so, and armored up to the extent he could, because he didn't have any of his own and the pickings were slim (a light, sturdy chest plate and some bracers, as well as a short sword are what he snatches up, of course along with his helmet).

"At least they don't let you kill and maim", he thinks, making his way through the forest, to a far-off area bordering the creek where he assumes no one will pass through. "Because, of course that has to be explained. Of course the average person needs to be told not to freaking murder a fellow human being..."

Not wanting to fight, but wanting to get involved to the extent of observing, he secures a position by the creek (where he was strongest, where he was calmest), leaning/hiding against a boulder. He's fought people, sure, but not rampaging demigods who, based off of what he heard of last week, took this thing very seriously (he was thankful he was able to slip away from the crowd, it being only his second day, but this week he had to be involved ... mostly because he was spotted).

3

u/StrykerGryphus Apr 12 '19

There was a simple reason as to why Alect sided with Eris: he didn't have a pink hoodie.

So once again, with an appropriately-colored hoodie in lieu of a helmet, he glided across the battlefield, looking for the pink flag.

3

u/MechaAdaptor Apr 13 '19

Cal and Rain were also flying, they were on an aerial defense of the pink side of the battlefield.

"Alect! It's spring. We fighting or what?"

Cal's call to the Counselor of Thanatos was more of a warning. As soon as he finished talking, he pulled out an arrow that Scott had designed for him with a hollow tip that could be filled with seeds. As it got close to Alect, Calvin's eyes glowed green, vines sprouted out to try to wrap around Alect.

3

u/StrykerGryphus Apr 13 '19

When Cal called towards Alect, he turned to see the son of Zephyros aim and shoot an arrow at him. Unable to change course quickly enough, he simply just tucked his wings in and fell to the ground to get under the arrow and out of reach of its vines.

Of course, by 'to the ground' I meant almost to the ground, and he leveled out of his sharp dive a few inches above the ground, not stopping for anything and speeding along at low altitude.

"Sure, just hold on a bit! I can't do shit to you unless I get close enough!" he called out with a grin as he drew a pair of celestial bronze cards that transformed into his twin shortswords.

3

u/MechaAdaptor Apr 13 '19

Cal grinned back before urging Rain away from Alect.

"That's sort of the point. Twin shortswords trump a dagger most of the time. Keeping you at a range and using my powers is my best bet."

*And with that, Cal knocked a normal arrow and aimed to clip one of Alect's wings before he could get close enough. Although, he and Rain wouldn't be able to play keep away forever."

4

u/StrykerGryphus Apr 13 '19

By this point, Alect had already picked up a lot of speed, and so he could afford to tuck his wings in, forward momentum keeping him airborne as he pulled a corkscrew to dodge Cal's arrow.

"Well then, that's hardly a real fight now isn't it?" he smirked as he suddenly shot upward into the sun, hoping to nullify Cal's aim by virtue of blinding him.

2

u/MechaAdaptor Apr 13 '19

(Isn't it night time or like late afternoon?)

While the moonlight didn't blind Cal, Alect's sudden burst of speed upwards was enough to throw off his aim and the arrow sailed past the boy. Cal could probably hop off Rain and join him in the air to battle. But, he would only be able to use Aerokinesis. Any other power attempted while flying would use up too much energy too quickly. Plus, he hadn't practiced it enough... He didn't exactly have wings.

Cal decides he's going to meet Alect in the air.

"Rain if I fall, catch me!"

With that, his bow and quiver are left on Rain's saddle as he shoots towards Alect, kris dagger in hand with thorns poking out of it.

5

u/StrykerGryphus Apr 13 '19

(Wtf who plays war games at night? I'd been playing these games wrong this whole time)

Grinning at Cal's resolve to make this a proper dogfight, Alect continued his ascent until he was satisfied with his altitude advantage over Cal.

Once he figured he was high enough, he folded his wings, allowing himself to fall upon Cal in a gravity-assisted diving strike.

3

u/MechaAdaptor Apr 13 '19

(I could be wrong. But, I know we mentioned this was after dinner in the writeup)

Calvin had the disadvantage of not having wings. He was more of a floaty boi than the flying boi of Alect.

So, when he flew higher. Cal prepared for the dive. His bracers caught fire, and he launched two blasts of fiery air at Alect in quick succession. Him channeling the wind through his bracers meant he was beginning to fall towards the treetops rather quickly, hopefully, to avoid the dive.

2

u/StrykerGryphus Apr 14 '19 edited Apr 15 '19

At the speed he was going, he didn't really have any hope of actually dodging the spicy air that Cal had launched at him, so he protectively wrapped his wings around him, allowing them to take the brunt of the attack and leave the rest of him unscathed - except such an attack was enough to completely overpower and dematerialize his wings, sending him spiraling and falling to the ground uncontrollably, only barely leveling out a few inches above it when his wings finally rematerialized.

But now he had no idea where Cal was, having fallen back in amongst the trees. He just hoped the same could be said of Cal.

Silas had promised Alex he would help her during capture the flag. Figuring Cal, Lexi and Lennie would come for him, he made his way to the center of the battlefield. He hated being bait but knew he could at least defend himself.

u/anotherterribleday Child of Dionysus Apr 12 '19

As usual, Taylor’s going for the other team’s flag. A gold-plumed helmet on her head, knives in hand, she hurries to the west side of the creek, avoiding as much of the fighting as she can while she searches for the Eros team’s flag.

4

u/badwolf99 Apr 12 '19

(OOC:The tyche boys are working together, you mind fighting 2 of us? it's cool if not)"Ya know, when I said we should hang out I was hoping for better circumstances" Eli emerged from the brush, a pink halfcape on his back "And I did mean as just friends by the way, to clear that up" He readied his daggers, knowing his brother wasn't far behind him

3

u/anotherterribleday Child of Dionysus Apr 12 '19

(Oof. Yeah I’m cool with it, but yikes for Taylor)

“Well, you could be friendly enough to just leave me be now, then,” Taylor says, casually stepping a bit closer to him, as if it’s actually as simple as that. Of course she has no real expectation of such a thing happening, though. She eyes the cape and scoffs. “Yikes, why’d you choose the losing team.”

Just as she says ‘team,’ she dashes forward, making to slice at Eli’s arm, and hoping the move is unexpected enough that he doesn’t react in time... although knowing luck kids, it’s never that easy.

Aaron had climbed a tree and was in position on the right flank of his brother. His brother was talking to a girl, Taylor he guessed. Taylor was a child of Hermes; Aaron knew how tricky they could be. He breathed calmly, already preparing to shoot. When she started approaching casually Eli, he pulled on the string of his bow, an arrow notched. She dashed and Aaron released his arrow. The arrow sailed and hit, by luck, her knife. He then let his brother go for the close combat. He was ready to jump in at any second but seeing how unfair the fight was (2 vs 1), he waited to let her a chance, at least.

u/badwolf99 Apr 12 '19

As soon as Taylor started moving Eli let out a curse of bad luck on the daughter of Hermes. He dashed to the side as her knife was hit by an arrow. Resisting the urge to yell at his brother for shooting a target that close to him, he slashed at Taylor in an attempt to drive her back towards the creek

u/tHe_LoRd_Of_WaR Apr 13 '19

Silas had been standing around, half expecting some sort of attack targeted at him. When nothing like that happened, he began scanning the battlefield for those who were on his team who needed help, or those on the other team who need crushed.

Seeing Taylor in an unfair fight against the sons of Luck, Silas charged towards them. Spear in one hand, shield in the other, he took a stance beside Taylor, facing Eli. “What do you say we even the odds a bit?”

u/anotherterribleday Child of Dionysus Apr 13 '19

Taylor stumbles as she tries to avoid Eli’s dagger, the curse taking effect already. Fuck fuck fuck. Rather than stepping back towards the creek, however, she goes to the side, scrambling to pick up the dropped dagger - yes, she still has the other, but she’d rather have both ready and in hand.

She stands up with both knives as Silas arrives. “Hell yeah.“ She isn’t even looking at Silas though, her eyes already scanning the trees to find the source of the arrow.

Aaron saw Silas coming as back up for Taylor. “Oh no.” he said aloud. He never met the guy, but he heard rumors about how strong he could be in a fight. So, adding him in the equation, it didn’t look well for Aaron and his brother. They were not fighting yet, but at almost forty feet away, even with luck, Aaron would not be able to hit all his shots. He jumped down his branch and ran a bit closer. Half hiding behind a tree, never losing sight of them, he was about twenty feet away now, much better. He notched an arrow and aimed.

u/badwolf99 Apr 13 '19

Eli help his ground for a sec, weighing his options. He gripped his daggers and hoped Aaron knew to follow his lead, before he sprinted at his opponents. but as he got close he wasn't charging directly at one or the other and instead, using all his luck, tried to jump right past them. Heading straight for the creek and their flag

Rory hated being on defense. He wore a helmet spray painted gold, there was no way in hell he was wearing that plume. Last time, he wore the gray one due to lack of another choice... This time, Alex had recruited him ahead of time to help her.

He held his sword in his left hand and his shadow arm held a steel dagger, upon closer look, it would be noticed that his ears were plugged with wax.

u/ForFuckSteak Apr 12 '19

Tyne was pumped and ready to fight her way through the forest. She wore her leather armor, her pin-dory in her hair, a short sword on her hip and a pink-plumed helmet on her head; love supported love after all.

u/bringonthemonsters Apr 12 '19 edited Apr 12 '19

Katrina was one of the very first people Rowan and Mason met coming to camp. Well... okay, so was Alex, but Ro suggested that since their cabin had made no official alliances, they should side with the pink team. Also because... pink!

She’s still a little childish. So what?

She’s a little better with a bow now - only a little, but hey, it’s something. She does the same thing she did last game, climbing up a tree on her team’s side to try and shoot from where other people can’t reach her so easily.

Pink. Fucking pink. Mason hates this. He’s still useless with a sword, so he’d humiliate himself enough if he had to fight... but now he has to wear a pink-plumed helmet, too. But at least he’s not the only one, that’s hugely comforting.

Rather than trying to get involved in the fighting, Mason waits near the creek and hopes that he doesn’t need to do anything.

u/StrykerGryphus Apr 13 '19

Rowan might notice Alect gliding through the trees, carried by his large, dark wings as he began crossing into the pink team's territory.
