Let's just handle them in order. Groin, go ahead and write the task path when you're ready.

Very well, I will write something tomorrow then.

My apologies about that. My school and work have gone hectic at the same time

and been trying to juggle both at the same time these last two days. I won't promise anything, in fear that I'll break it, but I'll get my post up as soon as possible.

Nogrod · 10-30-2008, 09:14 AM

I corrected the list (added myself to the quarterstaff-fight as it was empty and I thought we agreed on me writing it).

I might be able to write the spear throwing as well if no one thinks that writing three events is too much for one person (I still have two to come). But if you lmp have alredy some ideas on it please go forwards with it.

We might also share it, like I write the initial stages of the spear throwing and you lmp write the final moments - or vice versa? Though in that case we should decide together what the form of the competition would be...

The pebble-throwing wasn't too long Lommy! It was great fun!

Form: I'll write an answer but then I need to take Stigend out of the situation as he will be attending the next game... and really his son performed well... Sorry. I was too busy the last days and the game moved forwards much quicker I anticipated... But we'll make that discussion another day.

Nogrod · 10-30-2008, 09:49 AM

Btw. I see there are 11 participants in the quarterstaff-fight. Could we get one more? I can always use the NPC's but it would be more fun if one more actual character is involved.

Any volunteers?

Also, if you think you have something to say about your characters skills in either the sack-fight (requires agility, balance and eye for the situation more than strength) or the quarterstaff-fight I'd like to hear that. I'm going to resolve the outcomes with dices but I will use some light multipliers in accordance with the presumed skills of the participants.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 10-30-2008, 09:59 AM

Feel free to include Degas. He'd be good at quarterstaffs. His strength, however, would be more in agility than in brute force, so whether or not he'd win would depend on the size and speed of his opponent: if somebody stronger than him gets in a good shot, it'll slow Degas down.

littlemanpoet · 10-30-2008, 07:16 PM

Shall we make the spear throwing competition a matter of distance, accuracy, or a mix of both?

Folwren · 10-30-2008, 07:29 PM

At our weekly tournament at camp this summer, Tommy, the one in charge of the javelin throwing, had both distance and accuracy. What he did was, each of us got three javelins, I think - either three or five - and we got to throw them as far as we could. And then, after that, we got three javelins again and we had to throw at a target that was marked on the ground. So there were two rounds, one for distance and one for accuracy.

littlemanpoet · 10-31-2008, 09:10 AM

Okay, we'll do 2 competitions, one for distance and one for accuracy.

Here are the contestants: Erbrand, Crabannan, Stigend, Dan, Harreld, Thornden, Osmund, Aethelstan, Balvir, Degas

I have ideas about these various characters already. Erbrand has good hand/eye coordination or he wouldn't be a trapper. Same goes for Stigend in carpentry. Harreld too as a smith. The rest excepting Dan can lay claim to marksmanship. So much for accuracy. As for distance, Erbrand and Harreld are no doubt the two strongest in camp, and will be favored.

If you have anything you want to add or revise in regard to this, let me know soon. I'll be writing this tonight or tomorrow morning.
