Rumrunner’s Rally 2
By Roxy Redcrow – Clan Storm

Long have been the days that Pirates from far and wide have sailed the sapphire seas of the Caribbean smuggling ill gotten booty and the like, but one prized possession above all others seems to gain the most renown, the RUM. Swashbucklers willing to risk life and limb to procure such sweet ambrosia, show us that no cost is to high, no waters to treacherous and no cutthroat unwilling to savor a drop of that dastardly drink.

In honor of our salty forefathers a Rally shall be held as a tribute to the Mastery of their devious and daring adventures.

The “Spanish Blockade” – The Gauntlet is an SVS event made of up 2 teams, Spanish and French, where the Spanish Team forms a Hall of ships, 5 on each side, and their goal is to sink the French ships as they pass through the blockade one by one, and prevent them from reaching the Goal Line.

Individuals will take their shot at running “The Gauntlet”, ONE AT A TIME, to reach the Goal Line on the opposite end of the field. They will have 2 chances to pass or sink, then must port so that other players may have a chance to test their skill, since we are limited to only 10 ships, the French Team will have to rotate their ships during the event.
