The 'Gremlin Games' event, formerly known as 'Fling the Gnomes!', was invented by the immortal Vanisse as an activity aimed to stimulate camaraderie and good- natured fun for all ages, classes and races. A prior version involved flinging gnomes but was replaced by popular demand, mostly by the tiny but vocal gnome community. The event involves launching gremlins from North or South Square. Points are awarded for successfully striking a member of the opponent team with a gremlin in the face. Gremlins that strike with extra force earn two points. Gremlins that miss entirely do not earn points, but will run away. Killing the runaway gremlins nets small prizes of gold or experience tokens. The first team to five points wins the round, which is announced on gossip and at each square. Only Heralds and Immortals are able to call this event into play. The actual games are set into place by speaking with the Games Master, located in the Office of the Master Scribe. However, one should always first scribe an EVENT in advance, to allow enough advance alert of the event taking place. This event is typically given a duration of 30-60 minutes so as not to endanger the population of gremlins in Serin. To play: Syntax: launch - launches a gremlin into the air! ***Heralds only*** At Games Master: Syntax: say 'start the gremlin games' - sets the game into motion say 'stop the gremlin games' - shuts the game down
