welcome to half blood hill, site of the unique camp half-blood. for years, the demi-gods and satyrs, nymphs and centaurs (and the occasional grumpy god) have been living here undisturbed -- probably because one of the camp's more famous members, Percy Jackson, cut the titan rebellion down at the knees. and if you can beat the titans, really, who can't you beat? But now, ten years later (year 2021), the beasts are beginning to stir once more, and the oracle herself has predicted the downfall of the ancient camp if they can't 'beat down the swell that rises'.
Newsfeed (2 sub-boards) All camp updates and announcements can be found right here! This is also where otm voting will be, so keep your eyes open! You should read EVERYTHING in here as it comes! HINTHINT
Information Desk Make sure to read the Q/A beforehand! hinthint If you have any questions about the site, the plot, the books, or anything else, this is the place to put them. Coincidentally, this is also the place to put any suggestions. Go crazy!
Camp Store For every IC post you make, you get five drachmas. And what do you do with said drachmas? Visit the camp store of course! Then spend it all like a drunken sailor! Or something like that.
Claims (1 sub-board) After your character has been accepted, make sure to fill in his or her claims. That way we can all avoid some awkward situations largely pertaining to 'he/she stole my look!'
Shipping (1 sub-board) All shipping threads will be located here! Be sure to go through and explore them, and POST to other people as you expect them to post to you! Handy-dandy thread trackers are also located in this board!
On the Grapevine Feel out of the loop of what's going on at camp? Wondering what your fellow CHB members are up to? Well, you can tune into the gossip newspaper run by an anonymous person who goes by the name of Pheme. You're not gong to want to miss any of this gossip gold!
Camper Journals Been a long day? Need to vent? Or perhaps admit your undying love to someone (without them knowing about it of course)? Start a journal!
Camp Classifieds Have a specific plot in mind and need some characters to fill it up? Or maybe you're looking for your character's long time girlfriend, or twin brother or something of the like? Then post your Want Ad here!
The Endless Summer (15 sub-boards) Campers are being treated to a once in a lifetime experience these next few months, an all-out summer of awesome trips to various destinations around the world! Each trip is somehow related to one of the cabins, but anyone can go on any (or all!) of the miniature holidays, so don't hesitate to go crazy and have some fun with this! The trips run one after the other over the course of the Camp summer, and there's a general itinerary with suggestions of things to see or do for each one that can be found within. Relax with a cocktail on a yacht in the Bahamas, be spooked by the caves of Transylvania or get a tan under the Australian sun, but whatever your preference, Chiron and Mr. D guarantee that there's something for everyone. Happy summer travels (and happy anniversary, HBH) - enjoy the adventure!
Please be sure to read the ANNOUNCEMENT about this event for a better understanding of how it's being run and the IC rules!
The Magic Boundary address of camp: Camp Half-Blood, Half-Blood Hill, Farm Road 3.141 Long Island, New York 11954 (cover name: Delphi Strawberry Co.) the boundary runs the length of the camp, and has long protected the campers from the horrors which await them outside.
The Infirmary Feeling sick? Got a nasty cut from sword-combat training? Never fear, the camp infirmary is here! You'll be handled with the utmost care, and I'm sure one of the Hecate children's potions will make you feel loads better! Er, just make sure you check the label before drinking any of them!
The Big House (1 sub-board) This big blue building is most likely the first place you saw when you arrived at camp. It's the main administrative building... and kind of hard to miss. The Big House is where important camp meetings are held, and also serves as an infirmary.
The Dining Pavilion (1 sub-board) Every meal at camp takes place here. Each cabin has it's own table, where the residents must eat. The satyrs and nymphs, however, are free to bounce from table to table and entertain their friends.
The Cabins (17 sub-boards) The cabins are where the campers sleep, and are tucked away safely at the heart of the camp! There are Greek white marble statues spread out in the middle of the lot.
The Armory This big metal shed sits right near the Athena cabin. There are all sorts of weapons stored in here, and when you first arrive you get to choose one and (because we lack puppies to follow us around) name it. That weapon becomes yours. If you want to play with some of the other toys, feel free, but you must put them back!
The Climbing Wall When climbing this particular wall, time is of the essence. If you take too long, the walls will clap together, and if that's not incentive enough for you, just wait for the lava.
The Volleyball Court On the cooler days, the sand-strewn volleyball courts can get quite crowded. Sadly, itÂ’s first come first serve (because itÂ’s volleyball. Get it?) so you may have to get up early to claim one of the six or seven courts.
Amphitheatre I suggest staying away from here most days. It seems as though it's turned into the Apollo kid hangout, which means there's always someone rehearsing a play or playing some sort of instrument. Usually, there's six or seven different kids here playing six or seven different songs. I have no idea how they focus on anything.
The Canoe Lake No, you do not have to bring your own canoe. However, you may have to build one. But that's only if we're out, and that rarely happens. Plus, if you're not into hard labour, you can always go for a swim! I'm sure the naiads would be more than happy to share their water with you. Especially if you have rippling pectorals and are of the male genus.
The Arena (1 sub-board) Play your cards wrong and this is where you'll wind up. Every camper must clock in several hours of training a week (usually in two hour class blocks) and what you do beyond that is your business. If you’re punished, you may be signed up for seven hours training. Not fun, I hear.
Archery Field In the time since the last Titan war, the Archery Range has been expanded and divided into two, and is now the Archery Field. One third of the field is the old Archery Range, where you may have to elbow a few Athena and Apollo kids out of the way. The last two thirds of the field is the Aerial Archery Range, where you can practice your aim from between a pegasus’ wings.
The Stables (196 sub-boards) It has become a new (ish, considering ten years has flown by) rule that every camper must be well versed in areal combat, so upon arrival, campers are assigned one of the campÂ’s well trained Pegasi. Your PegasusÂ’ stall will have both your name on it and his. If you are not already experienced with the pegasi, the Demeter cabin holds regular lessons!
The Forge You’ll rarely find anyone other than sweaty Hepheastus kids hanging around here. The forge sits at the end the stream, and has a water wheel attached to the side, so I suppose you could ride that if you’re bored.
The Forest The forest is near and dear to every camper's heart. Why? Because this is where they play their national sport: capture the flag! Mind that you don't come here alone though: the forest can be a very perilous place.
Strawberry Fields The strawberry fields make up the camp’s cover service, Delphi Strawberry Service. Campers pick them, they go out, get sold, campers pick some more, and the same thing happens. It's good fun, especially for the Demeter and Dionysus campers who make up the main work force.
Fireworks Beach It's a beach, albeit a very nice one. The sands are white, the ocean never too cold, and the whole thing circled by despicable guard harpies. I can't stand their screaming. But the nereids are very nice, and every so often you can see the hypocampi cresting. Take that flipper.
The Underworld To get to the Underworld, you need to purchase a Poseidon Pearl from the shop. Remember: one pearl can only carry ONE of your questers! ... needless to say, to get into the underworld you also need to be on a quest!
Quests (1 sub-board) Every so often the gods send me a prophesy, which I then convey unto you all. The prophesies turn into quests, which are handed out to the campers depending on who the gods have chosen. Look inside for details!
Capture the Flag (6 sub-boards) Once a month the camp holds a Capture the Flag competition. The red team and blue team will battle it out and ultimately, only one side will win! Obviously. Just finished: Round 2
Balloon Ball (1 sub-board) Ever since the camp started attempting to build up the air force, they've been holding Balloon Ball -- a game on the back of pegasi.
Other Contests All other contests that we can come up with will be located here! Keep your eyes open!
