For those dying to vie for Myrgan Wood Archery Champion:

Hey There archers!

I want you to know that this tournament is going to be wild. Its going to be a spectacle. It’s going to be EXCITING!

It will be a 2 life elimination tournament. IN ARCHERY! Wild eh?

But how would you do that without being very slow? Sometimes… sometimes Conan is CLEVER. Each round, you will be compared to the remaining field of archers! Top half (with some wiggle room) advances clean, bottom half loses a life.

What this means, is the target complexity, will go up very fast over time! And the remaining archers will truly be tested to their limits!

But what about those eliminated?

While we are scoring, we will do our best to let everyone try out the fancier targets during the downtime.

SO: In short! I want as many shooters as I can handle! Even if you are not vying, come on out and see whats up. There will be a prize for the overall tournament winner, so shoot anyway and lets have a EPIC archery tournament!

See you there!

Conan, Champion of Missile, Myrgan Wood


A message from Myrgan Wood’s Bardic Champion:

Honorable heralds of Myrgan Wood do you want to prove that you are the best wordsmith in the barony? With two championships there will be many challengers that need great introductions during invocation of the lists. The Baron and Baroness along with the Bardic Champion want to see the best introductions so there will be a competition for the best introduction with prizes to be announced at a later date. So challengers either prepare your best or find someone to Harold for you for all challengers must be introduced convince their excellencies that you belong in the tournaments and that you will be the best champion you can be.
