Archery Event
As the crowd gathers to watch the archery competition, the last of the competitors registers and takes his place lined up with his target. The judge walks from the registration table to a place on the field where everyone, spectators and competitors alike, can hear him speak.
“Welcome everyone to the archery event. I am Joshua Rodram, and I will be your judge for this event. First, let me begin by explaining the rules. As you can see, the targets are a distance downfield. Each competitor will fire three shots at his target, one shot at a time. The three competitors who land the best shot closest to the bullseye will advance to the final round, where the targets will be moved farther away. Three more shots will then be fired by each competitor and the competitor who lands the best shot, again closest to the bullseye, will be declared the winner. The prize for the winner is this beautiful quiver and these 10 finely crafted arrows.
“Now, allow me to introduce the competitors. First, we have Daren Golson from the town of Treywick. Next is Philip Duvoe from the town of Rossinville. Next is James Mannon from the town of Elwood. Finally, we have Aerin Mallory and Timothy Backs, heroes of Trela.”
With the introductions complete the crowd cheers.
Joshua continues, “Good luck to you all, and may the best archer win.”
With that said, Joshua takes up his position by the registration table.
“Archers, you may fire when ready.”
The archers take their shots, many coming close to the bullseye, a couple missing the target entirely. The crowd oohs and cheers after each volley. In the end of the first round, after three shots each, Aerin, Philip, and James advance on to the final round. The targets are moved farther away and each archer lines up and fires his final three shots. All are on target, the competition is very close. Joshua walks out to judge the final shots. After a few minutes he walks over to the registration table, picks up the prize quiver and arrows and heads back to his speaking position.
“The competition was very close. The winner only won by a few inches, a testament to the skill of everyone. It is my pleasure to give you the archery champion, Aerin Mallory!”
The crowd goes wild, cheering. Joshua walks over to Aerin and presents him with the prize quiver and arrows.
OOC: a finely crafted quiver, and 10 masterwork arrows are awarded to Aerin.

Aerin blushes a slight bit at the mention of his winning performance, and steps forward to gladly accept the award. "Thank you, I must say that was a very good game. Cheers to all of you who participated. A more fair display of skill I have not seen. I am honored." Aerin places the arrows in his new quiver and attaches it to his belt. "I look forward to watching the other competitions that are available."

"Masterful marksmanship Aerin." Aliana flashes a brilliant smile at him, a flirtacious undertone to her apparent comraderie. "May your arrows always fly so true."

Aerin smiles at Aliana, looking a bit ruffled. "Ah, eh, thank you very much Aliana. Archery seems to be the one thing that I am skilled at. It just comes naturally. My father complained that it would get me nowhere. Knighthood is what he figured would make me someone. Perhaps in his world, but not mine."

"A man has to make his own way in life, or else he is not a man. I sympathise with your choice, Aerin. Rebellion is never easy, but usually brings its own reward." But sometimes the price can be too high.

"But it is only rebellion to those who don't understand. To me, it is a logical path for me to follow. Kind of like being here, having helped the villagers in their struggles. I don't know what led me here, but I ended up in the right place for the time." Aerin looks around at what is going on. Suddenly conscious of the fact that he is talking with an attractive young lady. "What brought you here?"
