Subject:  Re: Bralian Olympics pt 1 Torch Relay.
As we play through the Olympiad I will post notes on how I have presented it
to my players. I hope that if anyone else adopts the Olympics for their own
campaign that these notes prove helpful.

Prior to the games Andru cut deals with Tomojak, Valkan Riogan and Celestia
Silverfist to have the Bralian GIff, Valkan's Legion, and The War Drakes
assist with peacekeeping during the event. In our game the Unhuman War II is
going on and both the Scro and the Elves are sending contestants.

A clear path is made from teh edge of the gravity plane to the docks, with
Bralian Navy and allied ships lined up on either side to form and honor
guard fo the runner.

On the edge of the gravity plane a small asteroid has been brought in. It is
here that 11 priests from the Olympian Church hold their ritual to light the
torch. (just like on ancient earth).The Priest of Zeus, of course, leading
the rite. The Priest of Hermes then begins the relay, using boots of star
striding to run across the gravity plane to the Rock.

Once at the Rock the relay continues, with Gen Mors Dairbad (Gen of Bralian
Military)doing the last leg of the relay, ending with the lghting of a huge
torch in the Arena of Frun.

(NOTE: the fire used on the torches is a variant of continual flame. It will
burn brightly enough to illuminate the sky around the arena, but will
generate no heat. It will extinguish itself at the end of the Grand Ball at
Castle Skyview where the winners are received by Andru and his court. It
cannot start fires, Andru would have disallowed it if that were a
possibility)

More Soon... (At a minimum once a week as they play through the Olympics
story arc...)
