Periodically, the admin will post threads marked RE (Random Event) or BB (Boss Battle) in the IC boards. These threads will feature an unusual occurrence or the appearance of a dangerous creature that must be defeated. There are prizes awarded for competing in these events, ranging from new powers or traits to items to stat boosts. Attempting to stop anyone from participating in an RE/BB thread, whether through IC means or OOC means, will warrant a week-long ban and a boot from the thread.
In Random Events, the prize you win depends on the actions your character takes. Not all Random Events will involve fighting, but should a character intentionally provoke an NPC, a fight may certainly occur. Random Events frequently vary.
In Boss Battles, an oversized and/or powerful enemy will appear, posing a threat to the land and it's inhabitants if they are not stopped. Bosses can be either mundane or magical, and will require teamwork to bring down. The top prize will be awarded to the character who deals the most damage, the second prize to the second-most damage-dealer, and the third prize to the third most damage-dealer. All others will receive a participation prize. If a boss KOs a character, that character cannot fight anymore and must either run away, faint, or die, depending on the player. Tier 3 characters do not have to die in BBs. Being KOed may have repercussions in some circumstances, such as being cursed or severely injured. If all characters are KOed, the battle in lost, and the land that hosted the BB may be destroyed or damaged in some manner for a set period of time. A secondary BB then begins, called a Rampage. A new thread is created in an adjacent land, with the Boss wreaking havoc once again. Characters from the previous thread can participate, though at 1/2 health. If the Boss wins there, then that land is damaged as well. The Rampage ends when the Boss is finally defeated.
