The location of Valhalla will be determined before the battle begins; it
is a sanctuary to fighters and no fighting may take place inside the
boundries.  Healing and resurrections must be recorded and timed as soon
as you enter Valhalla. Typical times are as follow:  

       5  Minutes:    Any healing (wounds, weapon, shield)
       5  Minutes:    First Death
      10  Minutes:    Heal BOTH wounds AND weapons
      10  Minutes:    Second Death
      15  Minutes:    Third and subsequent deaths


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The outcome of a woods battle is usuauly based on points which are awarded
for accomplishing specific objectives.  Typical point Values are: 

       -10 --  Non-Partisan healers
         0 --  Your Team members, suicide
         0 --  Squires, knaves, scouts
	 5 --  Fighters, partisan healers
       	10 --  Unit Leaders, knights, kinsmen
      	20 --  Team Commanders

	50 --  Retaining flag without capture
	50 --  Capturing and retaining flag
	25 --  Possession of flag

Chase:   Two teams are formed, however, only one of the teams gets a flag. 
The flag must be carried in plain view and may not be transferred from one
warrior to another unless the first is slain. The bearer of the flag may
not remain in one spot for more than five minute.

	   Child of Valor, Bairn of Battle at my feet you lie,
       Runes to trace and Spells to cast as fallen comrades die.
       Armour rent and mail torn by weapons caked in gore,
       Those who fight like snarling wolves and razor-tusked boar.
       Cloven helm and severed limb the battle axe has hewn,
       Bodies sprouting feathered shafts about the field are strewn.
       Carrion fowl and battle raven circle over head,
       With taloned claws and beaks to pick on bones of warrior dead.
       Child of Valor Bairn of Battle harm has come your way,
       Blood of Bravery be renewed to fight another day.
       Sword of Arthur, Hammer of Thor, Silver sheild and spear,
       Rise and wield your weapon now against the Danger near.
       Fang of Cobra, Bite of Spider, Heat of Dragon Flame,
       Warrior unto the gods rise, and back from whence yea came.

       song is not quite appropriate). Poems will be approved at  check-in.
