The onlookers would aww at some of the shots, pointing and clapping when one pulled off a particularly interesting feat of bowmanship.  Kiris indeed went forward in the contest and was quickly the one to look out for, merely for her exotic looks.  A few in the crowd jeered her, 'the cat can shoot?'  One loudly said.

The contestants were allowed to keep their points, but now the rules changed.  It wasnt a derelict ship anymore.  There was a shout for 'PULL!' and on the top level a makeshift catapult launched a bouy, which sailed across the water past the ship.  Atop this bouy was a straw man on a post.  Like before, but now low to the water and with the movement of currents and waves making it bob.  It added in a moving element to it, some randomness.  Making some part of the shot, instinctual, or luck.

They had 3 arrows to hit the thing.

The hooting and hollering of the onlookers was near deafening, and in that moment, the dwarf stumbled on his words, and from there it was a cascade, leading to victory for Jacoby.

[b]Having succeeded in such an entertaining and colossal way, several coins were cast on the ground to egg the contestants on.  As the victory, they all went to him, 14 gp in all.  Not bad.  Enough to buy a keg of booze.[/b]

But after the contest, Jacoby would be shocked for just how quickly time flies.  It was near noon, and the crowds were already forming.  Time to set about the important business.  Getting the boat, having secured it via a coin, it was a simple craft, and the paladin was already at the moors.  The Priest however, was no where to be seen.  He'd said he'd get things set for when the Captain made dock.  It was up to Jacoby to wait, or ride out.  There wasn't too much time, the Captain wouldn't keep his people waiting if they were so close to the festival.
