Capture the Flag

Capture the Flag is a game the campers of @Camp Half-Blood play using a wide amount of swords, shields, spears, armor, magical weapons, etc. It is the Greek equivalent to the Roman War Games.

Capture the Flag is a long-time tradition in Camp Half-Blood and is held every Friday. The campers usually play amongst themselves, but when the @Hunters of Artemis visit, they face them in a "friendly" match.

The setting of the game is the @Camp Half-Blood Forest, where the monsters are located and hiding. Despite being extremely dangerous, it is considered beneficial for the demigods, as it trains them for life in the real world, where they have to fight off monsters.

Two teams are made, and each team given a flag. On each side of the forest, both teams hide their flag somewhere visible, but easily defensible. To win for your team, you need to capture the opponent's flag and carry it across the river that divides the middle of the forest, and acts like a border.

@Chiron, the centaur, serves as battlefield medic and referee.
