Bert approaches Yui and pats him on the shoulder, feeling happy that Winter took both second and first. "Nicely done buddy. You going to do the other two events?" he asked, he wasn't sure himself, he was thinking about saving his energy for the tug of war.

Al-Adin sets Nightfall down. "You have to show me how you did that though! And then we can race again!"

Striking Looks
Goodwill"Of course," Nightfall agreed with Al-Adin. "You doing those?" he asked, referring to Mr. Bates' announcement. "I think the shot put should be an easy win for you..."
A ring toss, he was definitely in for. Throwing a large chunk of metal the furthest? Maybe not.
Faith watches the race from the sidelines, not bothering to cheer, simply watching the contestants with a smile, from start to finish, her head whipping around to follow the leading trio, then coming back to follow the slower ones. At Nightfall's win, she nudges Charlie with an elbow.
"Heh, figures a Winter would be the best at running away from shit." The ring toss, though, that might be worth a chuckle. "Wanna check out the ring toss?" It had been ages since she'd done any of that stuff, but it might be worth some fun, if only to get in the spirit of Spring. Bu no way in heck was she making out right then and there. Hey, when you find someone who doesn't enrage you within 30 seconds, best stick with'em, and you don't push too far, right?

Xerxia is surprised by how fast the Winter finished the race, then recalls that those from that court tend to be good at running somehow, anyway. She sets down Fu's and her drinks next to Marcus before standing. "I guess I might as well represent Summer for the ring toss. I'm not sure if anyone else is, and I'm more coordinated than I am strong..."

Yui takes a alone seat on the stands waiting for the next event to begin. He watches Nightfall and Al'Adin have their fun and grumbles to himself.

Marcus Evan
"I'll try my hand at the shot put... I'm stronger than I am coordinated."
Giving Xerxia a wink and a nod, Marcus wishes her luck before walking over to stretch out in preparation for 'putting a shot'.
Doctor Jack
Watching his new Queen finish so poorly in the footrace, Jack feels bad for her at first, but then gains even more respect for her when he observes how graciously she accepts her defeat. Noticing the bottles being set up, he walks over to test his skill with the ring toss.

Al-Adin nods at nightfall's suggestion. "You win yours, I'll win mine!" He cheers. Now, what was a shotput?

Rick Pereg
Rick gave her a brief, reassuring, squeeze during the hug. "Don't worry about it, it was just a friendly competition. Besides, Autumn's known more for the cards we keep hidden up our sleeves than the ones we lay on the table." He grins slightly, "And we both have aces there."
Brianne Hildur
Brianne watched the race with a bit of interest; a bit surprised by who won, and certainly surprised by the margin of victory. There was apparently more to Nightfall than there first seemed to be, something she resolved to remember. When the call for the shotput went out she made her way over the staging area, her mantle shimmering as she called upon Summer's Strength to aid her.

"Would all those wishing to take part in the ring toss and the shotput please make their way to the game areas." Mr Bates directs where he has set up a small section for those to launch the shot and measured out neat white lines. He has also set up a table with 6 bottles on resting on top. Five oft he bottles are of standard size and in a star pattern with the final, smaller bottle nestled between them all.
He then goes through the rules for each game and states the events open.
Shotput Rules
Strength + Athletics roll
The winner is the person to throw the shot the furthest
The short range that a character can be throw the shot is equal to the character's Strength + Dexterity + Athletics 1 yards
Medium range is double this and incurs a -2 penalty
Long range is double medium range and incurs a -4 penalty
A character must first succeed at a standard throw to move onto medium range and then onto long range, and each participant gets two attempts per distance thrown
Any ties will be determined by total successes for the throws in that range
Please place your character's three ranges in with the post.
Ring Toss Rules
Each participant gets 5 rings
Each throw requires a Dexterity + Athletics roll
5 bottles in points like a star and a smaller bottle in the middle
1 point per bottle at a standard roll
2 points for the centre bottle but at a -3 penalty
Any ties at the end will require a single toss-off until a winner is decided
Characters can take part in one or both of the events and please ensure to label which rolls are for which event. It'll make my life a little easier
