Castle Marrach - The Forever Winter

Tutorial

11) Consent

You've already been briefly introduced to consent. The basic idea is that, in Castle Marrach, things can't happen to you without your agreeing to them. There are three main categories where consent is needed:

  • When you move "near" someone
  • When you duel someone
  • When you trade objects with someone

You've already been introduced to the consensual dueling system. More information on approaching and trading follows.

Approaching & Being Approached

There are two ways that you can get near someone: either by typing "approach" twice for that person or by using a stance to move right up to that person ("stand by camille"). In either situation, the person you're approaching will be asked whether your approach is OK.

      >
      Camille stands up.
      Camille moves from the ebony throne to the onyx door.
      Camille tries to approach you. This requires your consent. Type
      "allow Camille" or "deny Camille".

      > allow Camille
      Camille moves from the onyx door to you.
      You allow Camille to approach you.

      >
      Camille says, "You have done well. You must give my onyx to me."

      >

Camille would have seen similar messages to those you saw. She would have approached your prox, then she would have been told that to approach you required your consent. After you gave your consent, her final approach of you automatically succeeded.
