Dan, well, he used to hunt a lot before he left home. And he's a warrior! *Roar* (or at least he would have been if he hadn't left).
Having lived in a forest (and having to hunt his own food) he has an exceptionally good aim at a close-ish range (say, about up to 20m). He's never had to throw a spear much further, so you never know. He's quite strong, even for a normal sized man (though mabe not like Erbrand and especially Harreld). He has excellent concentration (years of hunting and meditating do pay off). But a lot depends on the size and weight of the spear (he might have good points, but he's just a small man, after all).

And, yes, I have come back to this thread (expect a post from me in the Mead Hall by tomorrow) and have finally caught up.

PS. Sorry about all the brackets (But what am I supposed to do?)

I was wondering if Ginna could be allowed to join the sword fight event, even if most likely she'll fare poorly compared to the others.

Wow, Thornden didn't do so keenly on the spear throwing. Eh well, maybe he'll do better in the later games.

Good post, Elempi! It was very interesting to read.

Sorry, Foley. That's the roll of the dice. I admit that not everything was totally random, but hey, nobody else offered to write it so I got to choose who would win.

If it wouldn't scare him into thinking twice about continuing to court her.

Speaking of whom... Poor Harreld. He was so close to winning.

Mindreader!

I was thinking of it, as a matter of fact. The problem is I don't think I'll get the chance to write a post this week. If you can wait until next week, I'll try my best to finally bring Randvér to the Mead Hall.

That would probably be the best time anyway. The games will be pretty much done by then so there should be lots of time for Ginna to steal away from the group. I'm looking forward to it.

EDIT: Welcom back Eonwe, we missed you.

Hmmm.... sometimes Firefoot is away for days. If she doesn't say "I'm here" by the end of today, I'll do the wrestling post and we'll get back to the dagger throwing when she's ready.

I was going to write a character post, but then there was nothing pressing for any of my characters to be written about...and unless there's something pressing, when I am short on time, I can't write from scratch...So...that means you all will have to wait until later, for now I have to run off to class.

Wrestling

Please indicate your character's prowess in wrestling so I have an idea how to write this. I've added Matrim to make it a clean 8 wrestlers. Here's the order

Garstan v Stigend
Matrim v Crabannan
Dan v Harreld
Aethelstan v Osmund

Two of these initial rounds are easy, since Crabannan has a bum leg and Harreld has a huge advantage on Dan ... once he can get his hands on him.

The winner of G v S will face the winner of M v C, and D v H will face A v O; then the finish round will be the between the winners of the those two rounds.

I think Garstan and Stigend would be fairly evenly matched. Garstan being possibly a bit stronger but Stigend being a bit more agile.

Well, Dan could be okay against a normal person, but Harreld is super-strong, and giant compared to him.

His leg was bad a month ago, but I think it's basically healed by now.

Otherwise: Crabannan is a tall guy, and his strength is slightly above average. He has extensive experience in all kinds of combat, including wrestling, and this has made him skillful. In a fight, however, his natural fighting instincts tend to take over, and he can become incredibly fierce and tenacious, like a kind of battle-rage. He is more flexible than most people he knows.

Strengths:
-some strength
-large frame
-flexibility
-experience
-high intensity

Weaknesses:
-not compact strength, tall
-undisciplined
-only average agility/quickness
-old wound might unexpectedly cause him problems

You imagine Harreld to look like that? Thankfully I don't.

I feel so attached to Dan now I feel like saying "thanks for the encouragement!"

Okay, let's get a little creative. There are going to be three characteristics for each wrestler: strength, dexterity, and constitution (how long it takes before your character gets tired).

Let's use a tool similar to intelligence IQ. 10 = average, 18 = genius, 3 = severely lacking in smarts.

So what is your character's strength, dexterity, and constitution rating, on a scale of 3 to 18?

Here's Harreld: Str: 17 Dex: 13 Con: 15.

Have fun.

Well sort of. His hair needs to be longer and he needs a beard and to smile a lot more and then he reminds me of Harreld.

Go gett'm Eonwe!

Seriously though, there's a lot to be said for short fighters (look at the Dwarves for example). Being shorter means that you have a greater chance with having more agility and speed than the taller man. Also the taller man [Harreld] would be rather clumsy if Dan is quick enough. Can you tell who I'm rooting for yet!

And just in case anybody wanted to know, I completely edited my last post (as in, not the one I just posted now).

I've posted a response to Dan, the post turned out much longer than I expected for it to be! One thing brings out another as you might say, sorry if it was all gobble-dee-gook.

It's okay Groin. In fact, I think you did better for Dan than I probably would have been able to (other than the spelling mistakes ).

Hmm... The Day seems quite fun... I wonder how Dan will cope with the beer though.

I've been on the road for three days and am now settled for about three days at my folks on the eastern seaboard of North America. It will be a busy time, but I should be able to squeeze in a wrestling game post. Not to mention character posts.

Fea? Hallooooo? Is Degas going to answer Rowenna?

Thanks, Fea. A most sure and brief post that covers all important points. I shall assign str, dex, and con. numbers to all the rest of the wrestlers (hope I get Stigend right), and proceed to put together the matches this evening. Might have this post up soon. Sorry for the delay as this Day is taking forever long to write.

Poor Dan, he never had a chance against that giant Harreld.

Great post Elempi, but my money is on Crabannan that man is to shifty and determined to lose. Looking forward to the ending!

Thanks, guys. I'll get it done tonight. Supper's ready right now so it'll have to wait for a bit. Funny, I started with dice but they didn't really work at all. Then I went with what I knew of the characters, and just sort of went with what I would expect of the characters, and it's been writing itself. Glad I took wrestling in grade school.

Well, that explains it. Those were exciting posts to read, Elempi.

Harreld won! I'm nearly as pleased as Ginna. I could write a character interaction post for this, but I could probably do no more than have Ginna act like a Harreld fangirl.

Actually, I lied. I can't write a post. There's nothing like schoolwork to sap my creative juices, and I'm still supposed to be writing a post for Randvér! I had a plan several months ago on how to bring Rand to the Mead Hall while everyone was busy with making the place comfortably inhabitable, but I couldn't write then, and I certainly can't use that idea now.

I was thinking that it would probably be likely for Eodwine to summon Rand to his new Mead Hall. For what reason specifically, I cannot think for the Eorl. And beyond that, I'm not sure what could happen. Maybe I should spend an entire week's worth of nights to focus on this.

Can anyone please give me a nudge, a push, or a shove?

Lhuna, I hope you can find time and creative juice enough soon to write that post with Randver coming back. Will it not be a very interesting meeting? Will he approve of Ginna's attraction to Harreld? Will she tell him about it? Will Harreld approach him and ask if he can marry Ginna? Oh, the possibilities!

I hope you can write it soon.

Thanks, Foley. I've actually thought about that as soon as Harreld started making moves, so to speak. It won't be easy, but it will be very interesting to write.

I would never think of acting as a stumbling block to your obedience, Elempi, but I am going to need you for this. I can never write for Harreld by myself.
