I'm not sure yet... Anyway, it's going to be mostly about accuracy and less with distance and the least with strength, this way it makes sense that the little boys can take part and besides strength is measured well enough in other games. So basically, they try to hit something that is rather far away with their stones.

It looks like Erbrand has a fighting chance after all! Balvir, Matrim, and Erbrand are all archers so if this is going to be a game of accuracy I'd imagine that they stand a pretty good chance, but I just can't see any of them outdoing Harreld.

The last post I posted up was a joint post of both Elempi's and my making. It is very, very long... And it ended up turning out in a way I don't believe either he or I quite expected.

Fantastic post! That was wonderful to read.

Harreld is serviceable in his aiming ability, but he is a smith, not an archer; I expect that he will have a slight disadvantage since his arms are honed to wielding heavy hammers and such rather than the accuracy required for targets. If it were a matter of speed with which a projectile might be thrown, he would probably win.

Thanks, Fea. It was wonderful to write, truth be told. I've always been sympathetic toward Rowenna, even when she was her most awful - because I knew what was behind it. I found it amusing when there were comments about hating her. Amusing and understandable, but I didn't share them.

Not legitimate hatred, just sporting jealousy based on favoritism. I like the character a lot.

Yeah...I think that's the same here. I believe I would not have reacted quite so negatively had it been Saeryn who'd kissed him.
