Gamblers Throw:
The Rules We'll have several throwing weapons available, and when a person want's to throw for the competition they'll roll dice to find which weapons they'll be throwing, that way even inexperienced throwers have a chance to win if they happen to roll a weapon that suits them. A playing card will be put somewhere near the center of the target, and each contestant will get three throws from behind the 10 foot mark. The distance between the closest throw and the edge of the card will be recorded, and the contestant that got the closest, or that hit the card the most, will be the winner.
Arts & Sciences Activities:
Scrolls!!! There will be a scroll blank competition as well as an open display at Hawkwood's Baronial Birthday.Entries in the scroll blank competition can be in any style. Documentation is encouraged, but not required. After the competition, entries will be donated to the local scriptorium.
If you are interested in an assignment, please contact Lady Heather at hlrumpfATgmail.com
And please bring anything else you might be working on for our noncompetitive open display. We'd love to display your work.
