====== Barbarian Assault Cave ======

#;;
The [[minigames:barbarian_assault|Barbarian Assault]] minigame occurs in instanced caves. The cave is the spatial setting for the Barbarian Assault minigame. All Barbarian Assault gameplay occurs inside a Barbarian Assault cave.
#;;

#;;
There are 2 caves, which will be referred to here as the //Standard Cave// and the //Queen Cave//.
#;;

----
===== Common Cave Layout =====

#;;
Both caves have a very similar layout. Many aspects of their layout are identical, and are described in this section.
#;;

==== Multicombat ====

#;;
The entire cave is a multicombat zone.
#;;

==== Shape ====

#;;
The shape of the cave is a somewhat ovaloid shape. The shape of both caves is identical. The diameter of the cave is 50(?) squares.
#;;

==== Center ====

#;;
There are elevated platforms in each cave, located near the cave's center. These platforms have [[minigames:barbarian_assault:cannon|cannons]] on them. Penance cannot climb onto the platforms, so they function as safespots for players. The platforms are 8(?) squares in diameter. Each cave has at least 1 platform.
#;;

==== North ====

#;;
On the north wall of the cave there are 4 spawn points, spaced 10(?) squares apart. Each spawn point spawns exactly 1 type of penance. From west to east, the 4 spawn points spawn
[[minigames:barbarian_assault:penance_fighter|Fighters]], [[minigames:barbarian_assault:penance_ranger|Rangers]], [[minigames:barbarian_assault:penance_runner|Runners]], [[minigames:barbarian_assault:penance_healer|Healers]].
#;;

==== South ====

#;;
On the south wall of the cave, directly in the center, is a runner escape tunnel. Penance runners attempt to reach this tunnel; if they make it, they escape, and respawn again in their spawn point up north. Goodness knows what happens to them in there.
#;;

#;;
On the south wall of the cave, there are resources for the players.
#;;

#;;
To the west of the runner escape cave is the healer pool, which contains liquid that can heal players.
Only the healer role can use this pool.
#;;

#;;
To the east of the runner escape cave, there are 4 dispensers, which perform useful or necessary functions for each of the 4 roles. There is 1 dispenser for each role. From west to east, the dispensers are: Attacker, Defender, Healer, Collector.
#;;

#;;
On the far east end of the southern wall, there is a large raised platform, containing the [[minigames:barbarian_assault:horn_of_glory|Horn of Glory]]. Penance cannot climb onto this platform.
#;;

==== East and West ====

#;;
On the far east and west area of each cave is a runner trap, used by the defender to kill runners.
#;;

===== Standard Cave =====

==== Cannons ====

#;;
The standard cave has 2 central cannon platforms, to the east and west of the cave's center.
#;;

===== Queen Cave =====

==== Cannons ====

#;;
The queen cave has 1 central cannon platform, to the west of the cave's center.
#;;

==== Egg Theory ====

#;;
The queen cave has a collection of miscellaneous specialty resources littered throughout the circumference of the cave, which are used to help defeat the queen. The purpose and use of each of these resources is described in the in-game penance queen guidebook, as well as on [[minigames:barbarian_assault:penance_queen#egg_theory|The Queen's Page]].
