Sorry that took so long. I think it took about 2 hours to write and throw dice to figure it all out. I didn't let it go entirely randomly - gave Erbrand and Kara "+3" for the last three paragraphs or so... Hope you like it.

It's wonderful, Elempi! You had me laughing out loud the entire way!

Great race, Groin! And of course, I don't mind seeing one of my characters win. I'll write something for Rowenna etc. in the next little while. Time is running out tonight though.

Thanks LMP, but I'm certain that it could have been better if I had spent more time at it. It felt as if I was rushing too fast through the entire thing, I'll spend more time on the narrating the Archery contest.

I'll get something up for Erbrand soon. Lommy, it looks like you're going to have to post soon: you are in charge of narrating the next contest!

Eek, and thanks for reminding me. I think I could manage to do something on Friday.

Sorry, must get ready for writers' group - this must wait until after Thursday night.

Ooooh, that was a really good race, Groin. It would have been hard on Saeryn, what with her recently hurt side, so I'm really going to have to post soon...it's about time, too, I got back into the game.

Sorry but I have as well been just overpowered by the real-life. But looking at this - even with a short glance - looks well indeed as to what little has been written. I'm going to catch up very soon... hopefully tomorrow.

I'm not sorry for not posting yesterday, because I figured I would let you guys do a few posts in between. But I'm sorry for not informing you of my change of plans... I will write soonish.

But it's the next game. So we're waiting...


Anyway. Who's going to write the spear throwing?

Looking at the latest list by Groin I think there is at least one missing thing as I promised to write the quarterstaff-fight and now there is no one to write it in the list. It is still my intention to write that one.

So is it the same thing with spear throwing - that the writer has just been forgotten - or are we facing a real problem with no one going to write it?

If we have a problem I might give it a try as my scheduals seem to be a bit easier for the coming week or two *knocks on wood and crosses fingers*. But as I will have two games to write in total I'd be happy to see someone else doing it so that as many people as possible could write these games.

But as I said I can do it if no one else wishes to do it.

I've written half of my post now and I will finish it later today... but I'm just wondering... Erbrand is 28 and Harreld is 35, but how old is Matrim? Is he older than the two, or some age in between, or even younger than Erbrand?
