Holonews Special Report: After lasts night's Chamionship Kruock-ball Game on Tash VII, Professional player Veenta Lilpa unexplainably vanished. Believed to be kidnapped by her defeated opponent, Ran Somten who is now believed to be involved in the X Crime Org. Tash VII Police are investgating. No bank has reported a depositing of the 4 million credit prize money won by Lilpa that night. Her manager, Needa Cush, isoffering a 2.5 million credit reward for the safe return of his star player and smaller amounts for information leading to such. So far, no ransom note has been received. The scoop: Kruock-Ball: Kruock-Ball is a sport that orginated on Tash VII but is played on several other planets across the galaxy. Is is often gambled on. The rules are fairly simple, but may have many variants. They game is usually played by two opponents, but may be played with a larger group. Each player begins with a large (1 foot diameter) Nerf-like ball. The object is to defeat your opponent by hitting them 3 times with a ball. The catch is that the ball must be kicked for a hit to count. You may block an incoming ball with your feet, with another ball, or by catching it. You may handle the ball in anyway you like, but again, a hit only counts if the ball is kicked. If a ball bounces of a wall or other barrier, it is still 'good' until it hits the ground. At the beginning of the game the ball starts on the ground 5 ft away from the player. Either player can use either ball, no matter who started with it. The arena is a room (about 100ft X 100ft) with many barrier placed through it. Against the outside walls is a trench. If a ball goes into the trench, it is permanently out of the game. If both balls are placed out of the game, whoever caused the last ball to go out automatically loses. Ap player may go anywhere in the arena except the trench, which would cause them to lose automatically. Variations to the game included, but are not limited to to: The number of hits it takes to deafeat the opponent. The size and/or set up of the room and its barriers The starting location of the balls. (May be held, different distance, etc) The number of players (usually 2) Methods of blocking the ball Other tools for the game such as: Armor Weapons for attacking or blocking balls moving platforms in the arena other equipment Skills: Dex: Blaster Melee weapons Melee Parry Brawling parry Dodge Thrown weapons: Kruock-Ball Running Kno: Scholor: Kruock-Ball rules Tactics :Kruock-Ball Per: Hide Sneak Search Str: Brawling Climbing/jumping Stamina Thats it.
