You and me end up on the front lines a lot though, and I'm not sure if Throg can use it, so it should probably go to one of us. We could roll for it I suppose... :)

“How about a drinking/throwing axe contest for the Ring? Take a drink then throw an axe (or dagger) at....” Dorgath hurridly makes an “X” with the mummy rags “ this?”

Pretty sure the Pit Fighter lacks ranged attack ability - would that prevent participation in such a contest?

If not, I'm in!
:cool:

Everyone's character has a Ballistic Skill stat, although if I remember correctly, the Pit Fighter and Chaos Warrior have no normal means of improving their Ballistic Skill, as both classes consider ranged weapons to be for sissies.

Dorgath will attempt to use/make his ballistic skill the same number (use off hand, be blindfolded) to make it fair.

Dorgath manages to set up a crude target for an impromptu axe-throwing competition in this undead-infested dungeon.

Alright, so who's participating in this?

The Tentacled One
Round 1
-Dorgath lines up and tosses the axe. He throws with his off-hand. He nearly hits his mark, but throwing off-handed has messed with his aim. Throg and Carrow heckle Dorgath for this blunder.
-Kelgar throws the axe, but misses the target. It looks like Sigmar has forsaken him.
-Ty throws the axe and almost hits the target. This isn't Horseshoes.
-Tomas throws the axe, but it falls short.
-Revaethan totally misses the target.
-Jekaena pulls off a pretty nice throw, but this one doesn't quite hit the target either.

Round 2
-Dorgath tries to adjust his aim, but his second throw is worse than his first attempt.
-Kelgar throws the axe too high. It veers and corrects its course, striking the target.
-Ty throws the axe. His second attempt is worse, but not by much.
-Tomas lobs the axe and does much better this time, but it's still a miss.
-Revaethan makes another attempt, but the axe falls short.
-Jekaena lands a perfect throw.

Round 3
-Dorgath's throw seems like it should hit the target, but it just barely misses. He thinks it's a hit at first, but closer inspection shows that he did, in fact, miss. Dorgath mutters something about how he shouldn't have thrown with his off-hand.
-Kelgar's third toss is his worst yet.
-Ty hurls the axe, but just can't hit the target.
-Tomas misses the target. His magic can't help him here.
-Revaethan starts his throw, but fumbles the axe and it clatters to the ground. He decides that this counts as a miss.
-Jekaena misses the target pretty badly. Looks like her hit was just luck.

Round 4
-Dorgath misses the target just as badly as Jekaena did.
-Kelgar lands a second hit on the target.
-Ty tries a different throwing technique. It's much worse. He shouldn't have done that.
-Tomas tosses the axe half-heartedly, now aware that he's pretty bad at this. He misses.
-Revaethan gives it a good try, but his throw isn't much better than his previous attempts.
-Jekaena fails to strike the target.

Round 5
-Dorgath has another poor throw. His aim seems to be getting worse.
-Kelgar botches his throw.
-Ty misses the target.
-Tomas misses badly.
-Revaethan comes close, but again fails to hit the target.
-Jekaena lands a perfect bullseye.


At this point, Throg grumbles that this is boring. The contest moves to a Sudden Death round between the only two people who have actually struck the target so far.

Sudden Death Round
-The power of Sigmar coursing through him, Kelgar's aim is true. He plants the axe right in the target.
-Jekaena tosses the axe, but it flies wide.


Kelgar is the winner of the First Annual Undead Dungeon Crawl Axe-Throwing Intermission Extravaganza. His prize is a ring. He shrugs and puts it on.

Congrats Kelgar!

I guess we rest up, heal up, and if we don't find any more secret doors or passages in the room or walls we should explore the unopened door at the north end of the corridor...:)

"Dorgath, you even made up the contest and ..... LOST!!!! Maybe next contest should be falling down the best.... "

Following Ty's advice, the party briefly rests and recovers. Everyone takes the time to consume a provision. But this respite is over soon, and you resume your journey beneath the roots. Traveling north past the bone chamber takes you through another dark, root-lined corridor. This passage terminates in a sturdy stone doorway with an iron door.

Dorgath mocks Carrow for not even trying. And resolves to practice throwing with his offhand. And checks the corridor for secret doors.
