Tornak hands over the crossbow to be polished and is duly impressed by the non gleaming finish. If you permit, would you let me know how to make polish that can cut the sheen on metal? That is going to be handy. Regardless of the answer, Tornak will be eager to test his adjusted weapon. Is there a better place than the supply room to test this out? I'd like to see what I can do at range with this beauty!

"Tornak, why don't you join us in this challenge?"

seconded round:
[1d20+7] = 17+7 = 24[1d20+7] = 15+7 = 22[1d20+7] = 14+7 = 21
[1d20+7] = 5+7 = 12[1d20+7] = 2+7 = 9[1d20+7] = 1+7 = 8
use the lucky trait for the one [1d20+7] = 2+7 = 9
5 + 5 + 5 +2 + 1 + 1 = 19
Total = 19 + 17 = 36

Clearly excited, Tornak enthusiastically replies Thank you! I will test it right now! As he moves to leave for the courtyard, he turns back to the two master tinkers excitedly Come on! Let's see what this beauty can do! He will dash through the the door without waiting for the others and race to the courtyard.
Bursting out into the open courtyard he will pause as he notices his fellow hired guards in the courtyard with their bows out engaging in what appears to be some sort of contest.

Renwick elbows Adrik before he can start the second round.

"Tornak! Come join. Same rules as the dart game, just we go up to 60 pts. Oh, what do you have there. That looks pretty impressive."

He will let Tornak do his round 1 shots, then do his round 2, then Tornak can also do his round 2 shots.

Archery Game: [1d20+5] = 8+5 = 13 [1d20+5] = 5+5 = 10 [1d20+5] = 5+5 = 10
Archery Game: [1d20+5] = 4+5 = 9 [1d20+5] = 1+5 = 6 [1d20+5] = 20+5 = 25

"Well my first round was MUCH better..."

Holding the small, rather chunky looking little weapon, Tornak walks up and thanks the dwarf. Thanks! Designed it myself. Now we get to see if it does what I think it can. Digging in a pocket he comes up with a gold piece. Same rules as darts eh? Your on. He flips the gold coin to Renwick and takes his place among the two halflings.

OOC - I know the dart game was 3 tosses a round and this is 6 shots per round. I won't make you explain that again. You do however mention winning totals as 100 points and 60 points as well. Which one is it?

Stepping up, Tornak levels the small crossbow keeping his eye on the scope.

OOC - really odd how Tornak's shots were for the exact same point values in the first and second rounds

After Rnd 2.
Renwick - 39
Tornak - 46
Adrik - 36

Ok, I meant for the challenge to go up to 100 pts.

========================================

"OOoohhhooo, it looks like we have a shark here! Let's do round 3." Renwick tosses his own coin down on the ground, along with Tornak's.

Archery Game: [1d20+5] = 12+5 = 17 [1d20+5] = 9+5 = 14 [1d20+5] = 9+5 = 14
Archery Game: [1d20+5] = 16+5 = 21 [1d20+5] = 13+5 = 18 [1d20+5] = 13+5 = 18

18 for Renwick this round.

Adrik tosses a coin down. And fire on his turn.

[1d20+7] = 4+7 = 11[1d20+7] = 1+7 = 8[1d20+7] = 20+7 = 27
Lucky for the 1 [1d20+7] = 3+7 = 10
[1d20+7] = 13+7 = 20[1d20+7] = 11+7 = 18[1d20+7] = 10+7 = 17
total = 22 for the round
Total: 58

You see that a 1 again with an the extra roll as a 3. 3 times better. I'm avoiding critical misses.

Feeling slightly self conscious watching the others fire their shots so much faster than him, Tornak stretches his arms and steps up to take his shots. Lining his shots up with the new scope, he takes aim and fires.

Round 3

and a grand total of 67 thus far


Round 4
Falling into a rhythm, Tornak breathes in a steady cadence and seems to tune out what is happening around him and lets loose six more shots.

To Hit: [1d20+7] = 13+7 = 20 , Adv: [1d20+7] = 11+7 = 18
To Hit: [1d20+7] = 10+7 = 17 , Adv: [1d20+7] = 7+7 = 14

There is no catching up to you now Tornak.

=========================================

"Well, I've had better days... Unless he starts shooting the ground, I think he has us beat."

"Well, well, well. You whooped us this time." Renwick scoops up the GP and hands them to Tornak.

"Using that scope; Makes it hard to see your surroundings, doesn't it?"


"I think it's time for a drink."

Excited at his performance, he almost forgets to pocket the coin Renwick hands him. Looking at his hand crossbow he marvels to himself Half of my shots were dead center! A third were just shy of that! I knew this would help with my aim!! Following Renwick voicing his concern about a potential downside Tornak immediately deflates and starts muttering rapidly to himself under his breath. After a moment he agrees with Renwick. You appear to be correct, that is an issue. This might be more of a situational solution than I anticipated.
