It might take me some time, but I'll get the archery contest up as soon as possible.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Yikes, it's been a while...

Sorry all, I've been frightfully busy and have no idea what's going on in the RPG right now... nor am I sure when I'll be able to write the dagger-throwing post... Owie. But I'll try.

But it looks like we've got Rowenna, Eodwine, Harreld, Saeryn, Scyld, Wilcred, and Matrim entered. What are you all thinking about your characters' strengths in this contest? Anyone particularly good at this skill?

This is Scyld's forte; he's not particularly skilled at any other physical activity but he's got a serious edge on the competition here.

The archery game is up! Sorry about it being so long at the end, I kept getting doubles with my dice!

Groin, that was a most entertaining post.... .except that Eodwine didn't win after all.

For daggers:

Rowenna is going to be more adept at dagger throwing than expected. Write that how you like.

Eodwine will be average.

Harreld will be pretty good at it since he has excellent hand-eye coordination and has to use it all the time. His only problem will be to focus down his rather great strength to something as fine as a dagger.

I think Saeryn is pretty much average, but she tends to surprise me sometimes, so she may be better than just 'average'. I doubt it, but you call the shots.

She keeps surprising Eodwine too.
