Archery Grounds

[swammeyjoe]

The archery grounds for the Tourney.

[swammeyjoe]

The contestants ready themselves for the competition.

[wookie]

Still feeling energised from his showing at the Melee (he had even had a nod of thanks from the Prince after the battle!!) Benfry went to the Archery Range and began to practice before the contest began.
He was confident with a bow in his hands and he was soon peppering the straw targets at the far end of the range with a huge grin on his face. Every so often he would walk up to the targets, remove his arrows and try again.

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth had recovered from his trounced performance in the melee, and now was out on the archery grounds, firing lightly at various targets. The blow had looked worse than it had actually been.

[wookie]

Benfry nods at the other knight, exclaiming "Good luck, Ser!" with a friendly smile.

[Ellinda]

Lord Randal's servants come out and shoo everyone off the archery grounds. The archery contest is about to begin.

[swammeyjoe]

Randal congradulates those who advance to the second round.

[wookie]

Benfry trudges off, somewhat disconsolantly. After a good first shot, he'd rushed the second two and had been eliminated.

[swammeyjoe]

Randal congragulates Theon Godswind, gifting him the prize money, a sizable amount of dragons, along with a finely rought bow and the choice of any horse from the stables of the Rock.

[Ellinda]

The crowd applauds Godswind and ooohs the bow he receives as a prize. It is also obvious to all that Godswind is an expert bowman, having bested three master bowman and an expert to win his prize.

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth smiled as the Godswind beat him. It was a slight difference, but Theon had definitely bested him, especially considering the difference in skill. Seth patted him on the back, congratulating him on his victory.

[Teirney Lannister]

"Lord Seth lost," Marina affirmed unnecessarily, appearing a tad miffed. She turned to see if Aerie was in fits of inconsolable despair and in dire need of comforting. Aerie didn't know what to make to this strange slip of a girl.

"No matter, he came rather close," she said levelly, making sure Marina knew she was unruffled. "Now let's go congratulate him." They rose and Nemesis made to follow. The shadowcat's presence carved a path for them in the crowd as people yelped and dove out of the creature's way in terror.

[sethgreyjoy]

Seth smiled genuinely as he saw the approach of the three females.

"My, you two ladies look lovely." Seth said, directing it at Marina and then winking knowingly at Aerie. "Did you see how well I lost?" He laughed.

[Erik]

Erik, more than a little inebriated to dull his headache after the melee, approaches Seth after his loss. "Eh, 's a pussy's weapon, anyway." He mumbles by way of consolation while slapping his cousin on the back.

[sethgreyjoy]

"Oh, I'm not so sure, Erik." Seth smirked, drawing the naked bow to his ear. "I think it takes a quick and accurate hand, not to mention a strong arm, to be proficient with one of these." He let the bowstring go with a thrum.
