A one-day event with its own premise and its own two sides. It is not a chapter of the Ashes of Iron Haven campaign and needs no knowledge of it.

The premise

A full day of woodland skirmish, going big and atmospheric for Halloween with a North Wales twist.

A mysterious Priest of Annwn, the local Black Druid legend, is deep in the woods trying to awaken the ancient Fairy Kings. The Demon Hunters are out in force to stop him before all hell breaks loose.

The two sides

• Around 90% of players

  The Demon Hunters

  Almost everybody starts here. Collect Trinkets from the objectives across the site and get them into the Ritual Circle before the Fairy Kings are woken.

• Small, and growing

  The Chosen

  Start few and dangerous, led by the Priest of Annwn himself. Stop the Hunters placing what they have taken, and turn them.

How it works

A classic skirmish: a lot of short games, using the full site.

Hunters collect Trinkets, charms and relics, from each objective. You need them at the end to shut down the ritual.

Conversions are the twist. The Chosen can turn a Hunter with a melee kill, or the Priest of Annwn can take you himself. Only one or two conversions per game, so it builds through the day. Converted players join The Chosen straight away.

Special rules

• The Priest of Annwn is an absolute juggernaut and takes multiple hits before he is down.
• The Chosen respawn on the Priest, or fall back 50m and wait a minute.
• The Hunters get two medics with special armbands, who can patch you up on the spot. If you bleed out, that is a minute down, then fall back 50m and wait a minute.
• Converted players cannot take Trinkets back, but will do everything they can to stop you placing them.

The finale

As it gets dark, everybody converges on the misty old graveyard for one massive scrap.

The Hunters have to get their Trinkets into the Ritual Circle to banish the Fairy Kings. The Chosen defend, with the Priest of Annwn at the centre. Fog, lights and proper atmosphere guaranteed.

Costumes strongly encouraged.

Afterwards

There is a Halloween sleepover after the game for anyone who fancies it. Families welcome. Hot dogs and beers.

Before you go

Kit requirements, ammunition limits, age policy and site rules are set by Fallen Dragon Events and OTT Anglesey rather than here. Check the event listing or ask the organisers before the day.

See you in the woods, if you dare.
