Estelle was excited despite herself. The throng of people didn't bother her too much as she weaved from booths to booths waiting for the archery contest to begin. She made her way to the Lady Ninevah's booth and loitered there for a bit, admiring the elegance of everything, but eventually found herself near her waiting companions, the participants and the observers.
 

OOC: Please note that a change has been made to my previous post, changed paragraph appears below with the changed portion highlighted in red.

The two dozen archers are gathered before the judges, each in turn monitored by a judge while they utilize any preparatory magic. Lady Devera, an alluring elven woman, has changed from the finery of the opening ceremonies into a more modest and practical outfit of leather breeches and vest, leaving her arms bare and free to move. Captain Jannus, an uptight looking young man, continues to wear his formal uniform.

The ranger looks tenderly at the elfess. "My lady, you were indeed born to a great deal of danger. But know that I shall do everything I can to keep you safe." He brings a callused hand gently to her face. "Mayhap after the tourney we should go to Turen... you would like my forested home." [/sblock]

Archery tournament: Round 1

The tall huntsman from Turen strings his longbow and approaches the firing line. He calmly brings a finger to his lips, wets it, and raises it to test the direction of the wind. As soon as the signal is given, he smoothly readies a shaft, nocks it, and looses it. The arrow hits the center ring, a fingerbreadth or two away from the bullseye.
13+5=18
 

"Lucky shot! Ha ha!" The dwarf laughs, patting Valen in the back, or as high he can get. "We shou'da practice mo' archery next time we train together, there's somethin's ye might teach me don't ye think? Tha' testin' wind... classy" he winks, and then runs after his keg. He needed his dose of alcohol for the next round of shots!

Crazy monkey: I had misread lady A'novias orders for renaldo, so his actions are slightly altered at the contest.

The guardsman weaves his way through the crowd with his hat removed as he does not want to obstruct the view of any one in the crowds. he spots Estelle, the woman he met the night before and walks up to her left side.

"mi lady, how fare you this day?"

OOC: Keep in mind that Aohdan is competing in the archery event and no one is allowed to cross the spectator barrier. Renaldo will see Alaric, Johen and Estelle on the spectator side, however.
 


Estelle grins widely, "I fare well, thank you." She looks at the guard a little more, her smile still present. "You looked dashingly regal in the procession earlier. Definitely stood out."
 

"Ah thank you mi' lady. It is the uniform that lady Anovia has chosen, of couse How goes the tounament? have you a champion in the compatition?"
