Callista Fae

Although she had a crossbow, Callista found herself using other methods of attack in battle. She would have skipped the archery competition, but hey, it might be a good idea to see how well she could shoot after not practicing much for a while. It would be better to try it here and fail than end up having to use it in battle and fail. Thus, the little faerie enlarged her body into her child-size form and grabbed the crossbow. Stepping up to the line, she shot her first arrow.

"Ha! Bullseye!" She called with glee, then quickly shot again. Her second shot was a disappointment, almost failing to hit the target. Perhaps she had gotten to cocky with that first hit. Pausing to steady her aim, she shot again, this time not only hitting bullseye, but splitting the first arrow.

"Yes! Haha!" She cried out again. Once again too excited about her lucky hit, she failed to take the time to steady her aim for her fourth shot. It seemed she would need every other shot to remind her that she should pause to take time and not let her excitement get to her...

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.

"Another tight round. And looks like we have Lyolf and Aion going head to head with perfect scores. Move the targets further!" With that the targets again were moved further off into the distance.

Aion and Lyolf roll 5 times again.

Please mention if you include ranged penalties. The target is 350 ft. away this time. Also mention what ranged weapon you are using.

Spells/Daily used in day
Aion: Divine Favor, Bless, Magic Weapon, Personal Trial
Lyolf: 2 Arcane points, 3 Ki points, Strength Of Hell x4

Aion exhaled deeply. This was really coming down to the wire. Fortunately all the spells he cast had decent enough duration to allow for 5 more shots at the shortest, but a few of them could last for twenty-five more shots. Still, as he squinted into the distance to see his shrinking target, he deeply doubted his own ability to land the marks. All compunctions about using magic had flown out the window when he noticed that his opponent was pulling out as many tricks as him. And even though Aion knew that there were two first place winners, he needed to defeat his enemy for other reasons.

Guess I'll cast Cats Grace while I'm at it. Divine favor expires after these attacks. Masterwork longbow

What was magic, but the extension of one's own ki? After all, magic ran circuits around the world in a manner not too dissimilar to the circulation of ki within one's body. It was an energy as unique and mysterious to elf and man as personal hygiene was to dwarf and orc, however that did not mean it was impossible to control-only more difficult. Like ki, magic was formed directly from one's will to suit whatever needs were required.

And now that "need" involved hitting a target 350 feet away.

Lyolf let out a quiet sigh, as he once more pulled the drawstring taut and let his consciousness delve within the deep mysteries of both the mind and the body. He had always been curious in finding the limits of his own strength, but was never provided with a suitable excuse to do so. However, with the onset of this archery contest, with arrows flying and targets moving progressively further and further into the distance, now...

Now, he finally had his excuse.

Actions

For the sake of some ever-glorious overkill, using all remaining Ki and Arcane points to not only provide the same bonuses as before, but also to do so while powered by True Strike.

"Unbelievable!" Flanders was gawking at the perfect scores each of the final two combatants were doing. "Time to pull out the moving targets."With that hte man whistled, and soon enough a couple helpers went forth to the target in the distance, and attached the target to a contraption which forced it to move in a swinging pattern.

Aion and Lyolf roll 5 times again.

Please mention if you include ranged penalties. +3 AC to the target due to movement. The target is still 350 ft. away. Also mention what ranged weapon you are using.

Spells/Daily used in day
Aion: Divine Favor (duration out), Bless (20 rounds), Magic Weapon (20 rounds), Personal Trial, Cat's Grace (25 rounds)
Lyolf: 3 Arcane points, 4 Ki points, Strength Of Hell x4, True Strike x5 (4 used spells/day, 1 used arcane point)

Remaining
Aion: Cantrips, 1 Level 2 spell
Lyolf: 3 Arcane points, Cantrips, 3 Level 1 spells, 2 Level 2 spells

The competition continued to venture even further. With each time Flanders thinking of ways to make the event harder, or even more spectacular. But for whatever reason, the two competitors, Lyolf and Aion, continued to hit their mark with uncanny accuracy. It was unbelievable. Yet it was amazing, and even godly. Flanders balked in amazement, as the audience too became more enamored with the two archers.

When at first some of the audience had began chanting the names of either Lyolf or Aion in a frantic chant, as the rounds continued to get harder, that tone changed to chanting 'Galas'nor' over and over. When at last Flanders had run out of ideas to make the archery competition even more challenging, he threw up his hands and declared both to be the winners of this year's Archery Contest.

Never before in the history of the festival had there been two winners, and the audience exploded in cheer.

Forcefully closing this. Will be giving everyone their exp, as well as magical items earned.

First Place: Lyolf and Aion. Earning 500 exp, 10 New Years Festival Competition points, and a random Greater Minor Wondrous Item.
Second Place: Wolfrin and Nyuko. Earning 400 exp, 8 New Years Festival Competition points, and a random Lesser Minor Wondrous Item (random roll twice, receives higher item).
Third Place: Iiro and Ryine. Earning 300 exp, 6 New Years Festival Competition points, and a random Lesser Minor Wondrous Item.

Everyone else gets 200 exp for participating.

[Throndir]

+200 Extra Exp to both Lyolf and Aion for the show.
