Congratulations, Wicht! A well-deserved victory. I am amazed that you were able to write such a concise and well-crafted scenario with such crappy ingredients.
Kudos, sir. It is an honor to even lose to you, where once I barely squeaked by. You are, as we all know, a truely gifted contestant.
Now that that's out of the way, allow me ammend my last post (in response to Vaxalon). I believe, despite the length of the post, that my entry was just an outline, albeit a detailed one. Furthermore, I have a difficult time seeing how my scenario could be stretched into multiple sessions. It just happens too fast.

Re: Round 3!!
Wicht, I have to admit, I'm quaking. I've been competing in the Talented Unknowns corner (heck, I am a Talented Unknown), while you've been going up against the Seasoned Veterans. And I still think I should have lost the last one.
But, in the name of smack-talking shrimps everywhere, "You goin' down, uh huh!"

need Tuerny to reply fast, and 'Runic' comments
Tuerny: please check your yahoo account and reply to me so I can get you those ingredients.
Wicht/Seasong, I was thinking of having him post at 6PM EST. Is this kosher?
Rune: Hey, don't blame the random generator for crappy ingredients. I actaully thought other roudns had FAR tougher stuff to work with - it's a prefernce thing I guess..
and didn't you EXCEL with Shadow Dagon? - one man's trash, is another man's treasure! Also Rune, give us exposition...your fans demand exposition!

Re: need Tuerny to reply fast, and 'Runic' comments
Well, because the judge insists, if I actually see some evidence that I actually have fans (what a funny concept), I will gladly provide exposition on my entry sometime tomorrow (okay, I'll probably do it, anyway...). Tonight, though, I'm just going to read [pimping mode on]Wulf's Heroes of High Favor: Half-Orcs[/pimping mode], which came in the mail yesterday, and go to sleep, 'cause I am really tired.
About the ingredients, some of them were nice, but somehow "water table" doesn't exactly suggest "fantasy" in my mind. Woo, precipitation! Yeah!

Yes, of course, a compelling plot, interesting characters, and an evocative setting are important.
In my humble opinion, they are not more important than the ingredients.
It's not supposed to be easy. You've got competing interests to consider. When the reader comes across an ingredient, he shouldn't have to think, "Wait, was that an ingredient?"
Instead, he should think, "Wow, that's so strange, and so prominent, that must be an ingredient!" Ideally, an ingredient should be such a prominent part of plot, character, and/or setting that the reader can pick out what the ingredients were without having known ahead of time.
