Operation Kiesfall





Background
For multiple days, Capna (a bandit) had done multiple skirmishes with the Andorn Legion and especially the city of Hinomir. Capna would ravage the city killing all civilians in his path. These skirmishes would occur because of the illegitimate land claim in the province of Askonia that Capna created and the Ryzan Coup. In response to Capna's relentless attacks against Hinomir, Archon Duel123abc and Archon Patch decided to plant a trap in Hinomir to kill the bandit.

Planning
Multiple tests were completed in the city of Orilin where duel's weapon research lab worked the specifics of the trap. Finally, after multiple beta tests on different trap items, duel finished testing and built the trap in Hinomir. This was a classified operation that only top Hinomir officials and Andorn military members had access to. It would later be revealed the OnMarz would be secretly in talks with Capna regarding the military situation, but successful security prevented the data from being leaked.

First Battle of Hinomir
On 9/9/2021, Qwerty14 of Hinomir spotted Capna outside of Hinomir. Frantically alerting Andorn military of the imminent attack, Qwerty14 forgot to use secure channels and chatted in the public-discord chat. This would cause Capna to pull away saying, "I don't kill people without enchanted armor." This sparked an investigation in Andorn military because Capna has always previously killed gearless people, and never pulled out of an attack. This investigation would not start until after the battle. Not deterred that the trap in Hinomir was leaked, Andorn Military officials agreed to keep the trap and wait another day.

Second Battle of Hinomir
On the morning of 9/10/2021, the Capna killing squad gathered around the trap again after noticing he was online on the server and so they decided to wait. However, Capna would not arrive and eventually would leave the server so the killing squad dispersed and duel123abc requested everyone to alert him when Capna comes back online. Later in the evening, Capna was spotted online by Hasan2016 who alerted duel123abc who gathered players Patchr and Qwerty14 and the trap was set up again. They continued to wait but Capna would not come until Patchr had the idea of faking a tour by complimenting Hinomir for its builds in global chat to bait Capna into coming over. About 5 minutes later, Hasan2016 would come down to the Hinomir port to fish since he believed Capna would not come until Capna came just as he was about to take off on a boat and he was killed with his stuff looted. He would proceed to sound the alarm in the voice channel which prompted Qwerty14 to begin running around the city to bait Capna, leading him into the trap where duel123abc was ready to set it off. Capna stepped over the trap and fell into it, when Patchr, Qwerty14, Duel123abc, and Hasan2016 began shooting at him with their bows and killed him. It was said that Capna was sent into such a panic and a surprise, that he forgot he had health potions to help him atleast survive and instead tunnel-visioned on trying to kill Qwerty14. The four soldiers would then proceed to hop into the hole, looting a about one million worth of equipment including his trident before dispersing from the area.

Party
When the battle ended, three of Capna's bandit friends named choochie15, OFading, and AdmiralKartoffel would travel to Hinomir to try and demand the residents of the cities to hand over the loot taken from Capna but only two people were in Hinomir at the time and only one had actually participated in the battle, Hasan2016 and they were in hiding with the other resident. Unknown to the bandits, the fighters had traveled to Nothrook and had been busy with partying. They drank from duel123abc's alcohol stockpile and were celebrating the entire time. Capna and his reinforcements surrounded the compound and demanded his stuff be returned, eventually making his way inside the building. Partying too hard, the Andorn soldiers continued to drink and even gave some alcohol to the bandits. (duel123abc was killed trying to give his alcohol to the bandits). Eventually for security and most people needing to log off, the party goers slowly left safely back to their respective towns.

Aftermath
Following the battle, Lucius Von Savras knighted Hasan2016, Qwerty14, duel123abc, and Patch for their heroism in stopping Capna's reign of terror. It is estimated that 1 million dollars of item value was recovered from Capna's body and the recovery of Hasan2016's lost items. Banditing throughout Andorn and especially Hinomir drastically decreased as it was later found that Capna was broke from the battle, as he admitted to only having about 200k, half the price of a god trident which was his favorite weapon. Multiple of Capna's bandit friends would leave the land claim of Septa following the battle, and Ulfaeng ranked Capna as one of their lowest PVP members. Capna would not step back into Hinomir to raid afterwards and he proceeded to ping multiple members of Ulfaeng begging for more resources and equipment.

Investigation
After the result of the First Battle of Hinomir, Andorn officials launched a full investigation of how Capna did not attack. It would later be known that 2 of Capna's banditing friends had snuck onto the server a month prior and had not been properly banned. Later, OnMarz would send a message in Andorn Legion chat after the Second Battle of Hinomir that Capna messaged him a threat about the trap. This sparked suspicion that OnMarz would receive messages from Capna since he is a less prominent member of Andorn military or government. After extensive investigation, it would be found out that OnMarz would be communicating in secret with Capna for multiple days citing that Andorn and Capna were both providing false information and supposedly "server rule breaks." and wanted to know the full truth from biased sources. OnMarz decided to declare neutrality as an Andorn citizen and was discharged from the military.
