Jousting
A joust is between two people on any type of beast they wish. Using a lance, they try to unseat the other first. As soon as one combatant is unseated, the joust is over, and the remaining seated one is the winner.

Initial is 1d20 + QCK as normal, high roll gets first hit.

There are 5 rounds (if none is unseated) and both combatants use 1d10.

Scoring is as follows:
1 - Unseated! - You Win!
(This must be a Natural Rolled 1 - not using any skills. If you get a 1 using Jousting Mastery it counts as Disabling Strength Hit - 15 pts)
2-3 - Disabling Strength Hit - 15 points
4-6 - Direct Hit - 10 points
7-9 - Not much harm done - 5 points
10 - Miss - 0 points

---

Racing
Racing is very simple, and you can race anything. Horses, sailboats, foot races, ice skating, frogs....etc. Races are completed much like archery.

There are five rounds for a race. Every round you roll a 1d10. Your rolls are added together and the person with the MOST points at the end of five rounds has won. Roll initiative at the beginning (add in QCK) to find the posting order.

---

Horseshoes
Horseshoes can be between 2 to 5 people. You are tossing a metal horseshoe towards a target in the ground, attempting to "ring" the stake.

Initial is 1d20 + QCK as normal, to determine order of posting.

There are 5 rounds and both combatants use 1d10.

Scoring is as follows:
1 - Miss Completely!
2 - 4 Not very close!
5 - 7 Getting closer!
8 - 9 - Very close!
10 - Ringer!

Add the number of your roll to your score. Highest score at the end of five rounds, wins.

If there is a tie, then take an extra round to break the tie.

MARKSMANSHIP EXAMPLE

Tesarik One: Log On
Tesarik One: OH Marksmanship Match | To participate, state your rank and
name.
Tesarik One: *Amber Marshal Ankar "Shroud" Tesarik.*
opus of ruin: Topaz Marshal Kina Atese.
Tesarik One: 1d6
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
OnlineHost: opus of ruin rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Tesarik One: Shroud 0 | Kina 0
Tesarik One: Round 1-
Tesarik One: She nodded over to the woman, and then pulled back the string
to her cheek again as a force arrow appeared. Aiming for the target, she let
out a soft breath as she centered herself, and then
Tesarik One: released it.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 8
opus of ruin: Luckily, Kina already had the first of her knives in hand. So,
after nodding in return to the other woman and settling her footing into a
stance, she allowed it, its freedom in flight towards the target.
OnlineHost: opus of ruin rolled 1 10-sided die: 4
Tesarik One: Shroud 8 | Kina 4
Tesarik One: Round 2-
Tesarik One: Shroud was already frowning. She was a perfectionist and would
never be happy with her marksmanship until she'd actually done five bullseyes
in a row. Though, didn't stop her from trying to get at least one
Tesarik One: bullseye. She tugged her bowstring back, and released the force
arrow as it appeared.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 4
opus of ruin: Obviously, this was not Kina's strong suit. She was much more
comfortable using her other abilities: she would not be accused of being a
one trick pony, though. With that thought in mind, she concentrated on the
next throw (a
opus of ruin: knife had been squirreled free from beneath her coat); which,
after an inhale was sent into flight.
OnlineHost: opus of ruin rolled 1 10-sided die: 7
Tesarik One: Shroud 12 | Kina 11
Tesarik One: Round 3-
Tesarik One: *I'm called Shroud Tesarik.* In this area, the Tesarik name was
known to be associated with the Obsidian Heart Inne, where the story had been
floating around that they collected magic items, and undertook treasure
hunting quests.
Tesarik One: That's really what the Obsidian Heart was, an organization of
hunters and fighters and bards and every other kind of person that might be
interested in fighting monsters and finding treasure. She pulled her
bowstring again, and the
Tesarik One: arrow was sent forward. *I don't think I've seen you around,
are you new to town?*
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 10
Tesarik One: *That is what I should be doing every time.*
opus of ruin: " Indeed. " She watched the arrow hit dead centre, before
turning to view her own dismal showing. Taking the time to centre her throw,
the knife was in flight before she answered Shroud's question. " I am new to
this. " Pause,
opus of ruin: before adding. " Kina Atese. "
OnlineHost: opus of ruin rolled 1 10-sided die: 3
Tesarik One: Shroud 22 | Kina 14
Tesarik One: Round 4-
Tesarik One: *Kina. Kina Atese. I have seen that name before.* That's all
the magiken said about it, she was already focusing on the target and pulling
her bowstring to her pale cheek, then releasing the force arrow towards the
target again.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 10
Tesarik One: Shroud perked. This was going well so far.
opus of ruin: Kina imagined that this sort of diversion would be much more
interesting if she was actually winning, or had a chance to steal the lead. "
Indeed? " More question, than statement; a brow arched and she forced her
gaze over to
opus of ruin: Shroud: so much for remaining inconspicuous. The knife pinched
between her fingers, soon found release and she watched on, waiting for the
thud.
OnlineHost: opus of ruin rolled 1 10-sided die: 5
Tesarik One: Shroud 32 | Kina 19
Tesarik One: Round 5-
Tesarik One: *Indeed.* A crooked smirk formed upon her lips for a moment,
then faded as she yet again attempted to focus upon the marksmanship they
were competing in. She drew in a breath, then exhaled as the bowstring was
pulled, and then
Tesarik One: released it towards the target. *This Saturday, there is a
mission.*
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 1
Tesarik One: Of course.
Tesarik One: *Maybe. If we get the information we need.* She added, softly.
opus of ruin: " What is the mission? I will attempt to rouse the warrior
spirit in my partner, if the need arises. " Partner as in, run around killing
stuff together! If her familial unit could see her now; she'd been branded a
radical and her
opus of ruin: name and findings would be struck from all records: inwardly,
she sighed but continued on. Taking aim, she sent the knife in her hand
flying towards the target half-heartedly.
OnlineHost: opus of ruin rolled 1 10-sided die: 2
Tesarik One: Shroud 33 | Kina 21
Tesarik One: Shroud Wins

JOUSTING EXAMPLE
This example also shows the use of "Jousting Mastery" skill.

Tesarik One: Tournament Joust, please state name.
Tesarik One: Cherith Mourne
Georg Pryme: Georg Pryme
Tesarik One: Roll init, add qck
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Tesarik One: 15
Georg Pryme: He went to retrieve a fresh lance for himself, then hoisted
himself back into the saddle and moved to the appropriate position to ready
for another round of exchanges.
OnlineHost: Georg Pryme rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Georg Pryme: (13)
Tesarik One: Cherith 0 | Georg 0
Tesarik One: Round 1 - Go!
Tesarik One: "I am looking to become a knight as well," that was all she
said before she got all business-like. Time to joust. She was going to try
the same technique as before, the reins held in her left hand and higher than
normal and lance in
Tesarik One: her other hand, using her thighs to hold her tightly to the
horse. She galloped for Georg and aimed for his buckler.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 6
Tesarik One: Jousting Master -2 (4)
Tesarik One: Mastery*
Tesarik One: Direct Hit - 10pts
Georg Pryme: There was a grim look in his eyes as he was finally getting the
hang of it. He held loosely onto the reins as his mount surged forth,
leveling his lance to try and aim his blow to land simultaneously with her
own, aiming for the
Georg Pryme: center of the location she'd advised him on striking as his
buckler caught the brunt of her own blow.
OnlineHost: Georg Pryme rolled 1 10-sided die: 5
Tesarik One: Direct Hit - 10pts
Tesarik One: Cherith 10 | Georg 10
Tesarik One: Round 2 - Go!
Tesarik One: He was certainly doing better than when he first started! That
had been a good hit to her shoulder, and though he could not see she was
grinning. Circling 'round, she readied for another pass and down her side of
the barrier she
Tesarik One: galloped. Upon reaching him one more, she again aimed for his
buckler.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 5
Tesarik One: (3)
Tesarik One: Disabling Strength - 15pts
Georg Pryme: He only slowed his mount to a subtle degree, taking the turn
wide, giving her time in the process to set herself as she readied her
charge, taking off from his end at the same time and keeping his buckler
ready while thrusting
Georg Pryme: another stab at her more heavily guarded shoulder.
OnlineHost: Georg Pryme rolled 1 10-sided die: 7
Tesarik One: Not much harm - 5pts
Tesarik One: Cherith 25 | Georg 15
Tesarik One: Round 3 - Go!
Tesarik One: It glanced off her shoulder, but at least he hit. She circled
around, and tossed down her lance as another one was handed up to her. Once
she saw he was ready and heading for her, she began to ride for him as well.
Lance held firmly
Tesarik One: so that when she was close enough she'd again go for him, this
time aiming for the nearest shoulder.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 2
Tesarik One: (1)
Tesarik One: Disabling Strength - 15 pts
Georg Pryme: Sorely glad for the versatility of a buckler, he was able to
get the defensive tool up in time to keep most of the blow from landing a
solid hit to his shoulder, though there was no doubt his arm was numb.
Still, he fought through
Georg Pryme: the pain, trying to land a solid blow on her own shoulder.
OnlineHost: Georg Pryme rolled 1 10-sided die: 2
Tesarik One: Disabling Strenght - 15pts
Tesarik One: Cherith 40 | Georg 30
Tesarik One: Round 4 - Go!
Tesarik One: That was quite a hit to her shoulder and she relied on her
thighs and balance to keep her from toppling for hands were busy with the
reins and with her own strike against him. "Well done!" she cried out, as she
moved around to the
Tesarik One: end of the lists again, and readied for another pass. Digging
heels in lightly, Merlini headed for Georg and his horse again and her lance
was aimed for his buckler.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 4
Tesarik One: (2)
Tesarik One: Disabling Strength - 15pts
Georg Pryme: Stars above, could she land a hit! And they just kept coming.
Georg just grinned though, grateful for his heritage. Bruises healed and he
just angled his buckler to cover the bulk of what it could with this pass,
focusing on his
Georg Pryme: main arm, on landing his own strike, leveling the blow a bit
higher than center on the target.
OnlineHost: Georg Pryme rolled 1 10-sided die: 10
Georg Pryme: Well . . . maybe a bit too high. He shook his head gently,
cursing himself in Terran as he really hated missing, coming through and
preparing for the final pass.
Tesarik One: Miss
Tesarik One: Cherith 55 | Georg 30
Tesarik One: Final Round - Go!
Tesarik One: That last one missed, probably because she was trying to avoid
the hit. Around she went, new lance - she went through a lot of them - and
down the way she went, aiming for his buckler once more with her blow.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 4
Tesarik One: (2)
Tesarik One: Disabling Strength - 15pts
Georg Pryme: This was it, the final chance. At worst, he vowed to stay his
saddle. At best, he'd do what he did best. He didn't wear it often anymore,
but he fished that eyepatch out, settling it over his left eye and covering
the brands with
Georg Pryme: it. Then he kicked his heels into his horse's flanks, spurring
it on with all the speed it would muster as he matched the trajectory of her
lance and did his best to put the "Deathblow" on her to try and unseat her.
OnlineHost: Georg Pryme rolled 1 10-sided die: 6
Tesarik One: Direct Hit - 10pts
Tesarik One: Cherith 70 | Georg 40
Tesarik One: Cherith Wins
