[IC] New Years Festival: Archery Contest

[Bootman]

Braxton looked the other guild members over, tilting his head upon hearing such high scores being announced. He seemed to be nodding slowly with approval as each one knocked an arrow loose. Eventually he seemed to decide something and stormed up to take his place silently. The huge man pulled a bow off his back, so tiny in comparison to his arms that it looked like it would snap the instant he pulled the string. It bent uncomfortably, any archers in the crowd who saw would feel deeply sorry for that poor bow, being forced to bend for a man who would be much better suited to a greatsword

[Zultar]

He awkwardly holds the arrow grip, his fingers shaped into a 'V' on his eye. Zultar starts doing a strange tribal dance as he goes through his transformation sequence.

Jin

Drawing his newly acquired composite longbow, Jin carefully eyed a most worthy foe-the archery target. Already, his fellow guild-mates had fired away at their respective targets with practiced accuracy, making short work of the monstrous entities. In Jin's case, however, he merely stared at the befoul presence ahead with an intensity that could shatter glass, break solid waffles, raise the dead, and even grant sight of his target.

He was not an avid fan of the ranged arts after all, instead preferring the feel of his sword in close, "honorable" combat; so what was he to do when his opponent lay a good 150 ft away?

[spoiler=The answer was simple.  ]

He just needed the proper arrows.

[/spoiler]

Thus, with his armament set, Jin drew the first sword from his quiver and notched his bow. He then lined up his shot with some aid from the gloves that had mysteriously formed atop his fingers and let fly one incarnum-powered "arrow" after another.

[spoiler=Actions]
Jin uses Rapid Meldshaping to replace his Lightning Gauntlets soulmeld with Sighting Gloves and immediately reallocates 2 essentia, formerly assigned to the Lightning Gauntlets, into the new soulmeld. He then makes the 5 attacks with a composite longbow.

Lyolf

When mortals first discovered magic, great changes swept across the world: Items of wondrous power were forged, great cities were raised, and lives were altogether changed for the better. For with magic's coming, great advancements were made in medication, agriculture, and countless other fields. What was previously untreatable could now be cured with a simple incantation and whatever crop withered and died could instantly be raised anew amidst a light-show of arcane power.

Likewise, when Ki came under mortal knowledge, another wave of change once more encompassed the globe. Though the changes this time were of a more subtle nature, they were by no means any less significant. After all, the many practitioners of the ancient art were known to experience far greater longevity than their peers, with some reputably becoming immortals through their mastery of the arts.

Either way, ever since the world's inhabitants were introduced to the wonders of magic and ki, they have always strived to combine the two into a greater whole. For it was common belief that magic and ki were both incomplete arts and only by fusing the two can one reach true mastery. Thus, there were many that had aspired to mix the two elements that were akin to oil and water in miscibility. Naturally, few had ever succeeded

...and Lyolf was among them.

[spoiler=Actions]
Lyolf begins by casting Cat's Grace to increase his dexterity by 4 for a grand total of 40 rounds. That done, he uses 1 point from his Arcane Pool to enhance his longbow by +1 for 10 rounds. Then by expending 1 point from his Ki Pool (Recasting once more after the duration of the first has ended), he proceeds to activate the stalker art Murderous Insight to roll twice for attack rolls and take the better result for 4 rounds each cast. Finally, he makes the 5 attacks with his longbow.  (Total Expenditure: 1 Arcane Point and 2 Ki Points)

Note: Range increments NOT included in the following attacks

Attack (Longbow): [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+11 : 10 + 11, total 21[/blockquote]
Attack (Murderous Insight) [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+11 : 9 + 11, total 20[/blockquote]

Late posters may still roll to get the 200 exp until the final closure of this RP. However even if you score high or a score of 20, will not be considered for the prizes.
Due to the very large show up, I'll change up the rules a slight bit to include more winners.

• Two winners for each placement. Eg 2 first place winners, 2 second place winners, 2 third place winners.
• 3 more winners who didn't win above for post quality/good roleplaying. They'll win the 3rd place reward. Feel free to post again in here if you're aiming for this one. Simply rewrite your roleplay post above (post a new response so I know when its edited), or go off of the results. Any extended roleplaying should be placed in the Tales of the Guild section though.
• This good-roleplaying reward above does not replace the end-of-game RP awards through voting, so you might still at least get some more exp.

"Amazing! Three contestants having straight bulls-eyes!" Flanders exclaimed. "Not to mention more than a couple of ties." Flandes proceeded to signal some men in the distance, and you watched as they took the targets and started moving them further out. The target now stood 250 ft. away.

[info]Wolfrin, Aion, Lyolf, Ryine, Iiro, Nyuko roll 5 times again.

Please mention if you include ranged penalties. The target is 250 ft. away this time. Also mention what ranged weapon you are using.[/info]

Aion looked around at the other two men to either side with a satisfied expression. He looked just short of crying out of happiness that he'd done so good and made it this far. With a deep, calming breath he drew his bow once more. The warrior's eyes honed in on the distant, distant target, examining all the possible futures for the best angle. It all came intuitively from years of training, with barely a thought drifting in his head. He began pulling the string ba-

"Hey can I have my bow back?" The ranger he'd borrowed the weapon from chimed with his hand outstretched for it.

Aion dropped the weapon in a panic, stumbling back and tripping over a rock, slamming himself down hard on his head. As the whole crowd stared at him, he felt the entire world stop and slide back a few moments. He was pulling the string back, but stopped. Aion turned and smiled at the man brightly.

"Just a few more moments, please." He asked the ranger, who gave him a sideways look before slinking off a few feet away, arms crossed.

The shaman couldn't help but chuckle, and tried to hold it in. The tension was insane and that had totally broken it for him. He sighed and decided to take the moment to cast another spell or three, as well as use a small leftover from his paladin training. This felt different. It wasn't concentration, or a need, or a desire to win. It was pure, true confidence.
