Sack Race Results!Malika had a lot of trouble getting into her sack in the first place and even fell forward onto the ground when the race started, giving the other racers and Yobi a big head start! Though weather it was sheer grit or the magic in her blood, Malika was able to pick herself up and start hopping in her sack faster then all the others, catching up with them at the halfway mark. The others seemed to fall by the wayside or fall down as well, but Yobi and Malika kept on going as hard as they could until the finish line.
It was a close stretch, but
Malika manages to jump out ahead just in time to claim first place!
Walking The Beam Results!Despite her last win however, Malika's luck ran out when it came to the Beam challenge as halfway through, she stepped on one part that was unfairly greased! It took just one slip for her to fall over and land into the mud pit right under it for those who failed. Luckily, there was some bucket with fresh water and some towels to wipe yourself off as best you could.
Yobi however was much better at this as it was almost showing off for her. She not only seemed to run across the beam, but she even did a forward cartwheel on the beam right on the end, giving the crowd a good whooping cheer for their local acrobat expert.
Silver finally seemed like the least likely to be Camoens who`d do this challenge. A few people seemed to almost want to step forward and stop her, but relented before actually doing anything. It was certainly harrowing for the poor girl! She waved and flailed her arms so many times just to keep her balance. She even started to waver back and forth hard when she hit the greased spot in the middle! Yet she somehow manged to get her foot down on the safe spot as she hurried along the rest of the beam, safe and clean!
Archery Contest Results!Sadly, such luck now ran out for Silver as her bolt went really wide off the target, nearly hitting a poor chicken who was walking around not far from behind the target.
Yet the day was surely saved by
Roan as his arrow took flight with confidence and assurance as it hit dead center on the bullseye! Most of the other contestants were not as good, at best only hitting the circle outside the bullseye, so the winner came obvious to them all.
Tug Of War Contest!Roan and Dhalgren were on opposite sides of a long thick rope with four other mean alongside them as they both started to pull on as hard as they could on the rope to see who would falter first! The two hearty men struggled and gave it all the could, struggling and grasping hard as the rope seemed to want to tear their arms off!Yet in the end, one last good tug sent Dhalgren and his men falling to the ground as
Roan was victorious.
With the first bout of games done, it was finally noon as everyone awaited the Swallowtail Release. A large covered wagon was being pulled by acolytes in blue robes similar to Father Zantus' as the man himself took the stage. He raised his arms up to silence the crowd as he spoke
"Dear friends, families and all long traveled visitors. You are all here in good company as we celebrate this joyfully in the name of The Great Dreamer herself. She does not turn away those who seek freedom and the joy of the open road. We all know the old stories, How when she first fell to this earth in a great battle with the evil Lamashtu, a humble blind boy nursed her back to health, without any requests made of her or without any knowledge of just who he was aiding. When she had recovered, she granted the young boy a great boon: to turn him into an immortal butterfly so he could forever travel the world and see all the wonders it had to offer that he never could before. And so, in honor of Desna and her blessing of freedom, let us once again send out her children upon the winds!!!"As that was the signal, the tarp was suddenly pulled out from the cart as thousands of swallowtail butterflies swarmed into the air like a spiraling riot of color as the crowd erupts into a hearty cheer.
It was then that Lunch was being served along long tables set aside for everyone who wishes to come and enjoy all that was being offered. All the food was being provided by the local taverns as you can tell that pretty much all of them went out of their way to make little cards alongside the bowls and plates so you know where they came from.
What was being offered definitely tasted some of the best you ever had! Like the Hagfish's Lobster Chowder or the White Deer's Peppercorn Venison. Yet far and away, you and many of the other people agree the winner was clearly the Rusty Dragon's Curry-Spiced Salmon with Winterdrop mead at the side.
As you enjoy yourself of this food,
Ameiko comes up from behind as she was helping to serve the food to everyone around the table. Her attitude was very much cheerful and upbeat as she sounded very excited in her words.
"I think it's going great! Everyone's loving the salmon!" It was honestly good to see her happy at being received so well, what with all her family troubles.
