Garmund, Cnebba and Javan should take part in the archery among others as this is no modern society where children are the bosses or treated that differently... So they either are good at something or then not... the same goes to racing on foot and especially stone-throwing. Although I think they would not be allowed to wrestle or to duel or that kind of thing...

I added the sack-fight, dagger-throwing and the "task-path" to the list. Let's see if anyone is interested.

With the task-path I mean something like running for a hundred yards then climbing to get an item from the top of a tree or something. Then running again to build a tower from pieces of wood or something and running yet again to build a tent from scratch - and running yet again etc... We could come up with the particular tasks together. And the competants should run in circles somewhat so that the audience might see their performances all the time - and the first to come back after fulfilling all the tasks would be the winner...

If you have time in your hands and an idea, go on with it. Whatever you come up with is fine. And at least Stigend will be bothered by the news that Eodwine is going and of the responsibility he has been given so it would be understandable he manages not to pay heed that the kids are not around right now. And it would bring Erbrand and Stigend (and Modryth) to closer contact as well which would be good.
