Public Call for Acolyte Assembly

---

Attached to the file would be a prerecorded holomessage that when selected would play. Trakaton's form would blaze to life in the classic display of a holographic transmission, the electric blue tinge accenting some features while diminishing others. Trakaton would be stood with his arms folded across his armoured chest, the cloak hanging loosely from his shoulders and the custom-fit plates of the armour looking as comfortable as an embrace. The scar on the right side of his face would be barely visible, his head ever so slightly turned to the right and he'd speak with a tone of authority:

"Acolytes of the Horuset Powerbase have grown weaker over time. With more of those who don the higher ranks of our Sith Order to coddle them, Acolytes have become enfeebled with single-mindedness. No longer. I, Lord Kalkoran, seek out a new Apprentice who will be taken from the current generation of Acolytes. With the current generation so weak, many tasks and refining processes must be set in place to see if even a single Acolyte of the current generation is worthy of my time.Four Acolytes will be assembled for this task and once set, each will spar the others until only one remains. The single Acolyte who remains standing will be noted, by myself and likely others within the Horuset Powerbase, as an Acolyte capable of holding their own in combat who answered the call when required."

*With that the hologram would flicker and then fade from view. Leaving the viewer able to access the rest of the information provided.*

Location: Sparring Rooms: Th'Asidra or the Horuset Spire

---

Sparring: Sparring is a cornerstone of the Sith Order. A way to determine who holds premiership over others in direct combat that is unlikely to result in any death. In sparring, combatants can enforce several rules amongst those who spar to restrict different aspects of combat as a way to focus on a handful or even a single mode of combat if they so decide or alternatively have no such restrictions and have each combatant pit themselves with everything they can use against another combatant again using everything they can use. While maiming is unlikely in sparring, it has occurred in the past.

---

Objectives: In this task there will be two primary objectives and one secondary objectives.

Primary Objective I: Assemble four Acolytes together who all have agreed to this task and are aware they will be sparring one another.

Primary Objective II: Beat the other three combatants into the ground.

Secondary Objective I: Devise a set of rules that restrict combat, to make the spar more focused on a certain way of fighting.

---

Time Frame: The Acolytes will have 14 days to complete the task before Lord Kalkoran accepts that no Acolyte is capable enough, as he first suspected.
((The 28th of September will be the deadline!))

---

Acolyte Group Size: Lord Kalkoran demands four Acolytes complete this task.

((originally posted by Acolyte Joslae Saltaeon))

A report on the task is left by Acolyte Saltaeon.

The task identified as the "Dueling Ring" has been completed. It involved four acolytes: Ruthut, Vessin Zynn, Kitar'a, and myself. Kitar'a responded to no holo messages nor could they be reached in person. We decided to move past them and continue anyway.
We as a group met before the actual sparring to set restrictions. We decided that on no holds barred, as to not limit us, and if an acolyte doesn't use every tool in their arsenal they are fools indeed. A free for all was deemed to be the most appropriate for the task. And we also stated that if someone is to be disarmed they are removed from the task.
Ruthut immediatly turned on Vessin, I followed with a force pull causing him to stumble. Vessin and Ruthut clashes blades. I lunged forwards to thrust at Ruthut, it was parried before I followed up with a Sai Tok to cut Ruthut's waist. As I did so he used a Force Shock on Vessin which clashed with her training blade causing the weapon to shatter. Ruthut and Vessin's right side were covered in shrapnel whilst my left side was cut. Ruthut was thrown back slightly. For all intents and purposes Vessin was removed though Sith Mitina armed her again, unaware of the goal. Vessin clashed with Ruthut again, he tried to choke her but Vessin bit the hand. I approached from behind and stabbed Vessin straight through the gut, and shocked Ruthut to unconsciousness. I tore the blade free and cut through Vessin's shoulder muscles forcing her to drop the weapon. I moved to Ruthut and stabbed through the wrist, severing the primary muscles there removing use of the left hand.
I remained the last standing, medics were called to tend to Vessin and Ruthut. In the end I also suddered few injuries.

The report ends.
