A crowd of more than forty archers from all corners of the realm gathered tonite at the Luna Fairegrounds to test their skills one against the other. In double elimination rounds, with each contestant taking ten shots, the scores ranged from the teens to over eight hundred! I didn't notice any apparent side betting, but there were some rather shady characters off to the side speaking in low tones.
EMs Helios and Ikaris hosted the event and ran a single elimination tournament.... one loss and you were out of the running. Slowly the contestants were whittled down and we arrived at the final match of the night...... and what a match it was! At the end of ten shots Bethany and Lirael were tied at over 500 points! EM Helios called for one shot each and the crowd held their breath. Taking careful aim each let fly a single arrow and Lirael's aim held true.

Our top three archers are Suicide Society (third place - bronze), Bethany (second place - silver) and, Legends top archer, Lirael! Each were awarded a trophy and our Reward House will have a plaque installed to mark the occasion. Congratulations to all and a big thank you to our EMs Helios and Ikaris!
