The Sacking of Hallow was a series of events in the [[NATO-Mir
=== Skirmishes Around Hallow ===
Line 31:
After the successful attack on Sempiternal Mirian forces resolved to attack Hallow proper. This decided as the Hallow vault and city were being used by entire NATO alliance as a base of operations. All movements extended from these two locations. There were no other fortified areas in the vicinity. Therefore, they were a key target. As usual the Mirian strategy was to provoke fights and let the NATO force's inexperience lead to them making mistakes and losing pearls.
Initial forays in the forest around Hallow City were intelligence gathering. Snitches were placed, Hallow traps were disabled and the occassional skirmish broke out. Notably Hallow had recently city bastioned most of their land claim making the snitching process more arduous for Mirian forces. It also made placing their own traps more difficult. The Mirian forces did make a large fall spleef trap but it proved ineffective in the heat of combat. However, DontMindMe (Silentcreeper), a Hallow pvp'er was pearled when he attacked the Mirians on his own and promptly failed his escape pearl several times, dying in the river outside Hallow City.
The next day Mirian forces identified trails of broken blocks on radar as tunnels dug by Hallow forces in an attempt to find them. Digging to bedrock revealed a network of buttoned 1x2 tunnels designed to find the Mirian Bunker. However, the Mirians had foreseen such a circumstance and built their bunker twenty blocks above bedrock avoiding any attempts at discovery. The scouting tunnels were investigated and discovered to lead directly to the Hallow Ice Road network - a system of ice roads connecting Hallow's key locations. The ice road and its main intersection were snitched. Very shortly after Ill_Boi (HiImPosey), who had joined Hallow the day before, was seen hitting a snitch at the intersection. EZ2Clutch, Citann and RosieMcCann rushed down the ice road and pearled Ill_Boi. The pearl was quickly moved to Mir.

In the week following Mirian forces made a move on the vault. This was mostly an opportunistic attack, motivated by the discovery that the Hallow trenches were not bastioned and the continued tactic of providing Hallow with too many choices, knowing that they would eventually make an incorrect choice and lose another pearl as had happened so many times previously. In this particular instance this tactic was not successful.
The Mirian forces broke the first ring against fairly heavy resistance. Some of Hallow's stronger pvp'ers were around for this and they were comfortable leading 'pot ladding' attempts against the Mirian forces which were fairly
The next day Mirian forces were able to rebreak the replaced vault bastion and add to the grief, however, they were unable to progress further into the vault and later that day they were fully repulsed from the vault by a great many defenders. Notably Complexity, a Valyrian, consistently harrassed the attackers wasting their pots and generally fighting without fear. The Mirians left and resolved to change tactics, having seen that the defenders were now wise to ground attack defence.
