Accuracy Comp. Rules(#1754TOn)

The Accuracy competition consists of three events. Those three events will determine the winner of Today's Best of the best competition. The three events will be the Distance Accuracy, Speed Shooting, and Drone Strike. Points are awarded within the accuracy competition (using the same scale as the overall competition) to determine the winner of the Accuracy Contest. There will be no spreading of attacks to increace chances to hit.

In addition, for those without natural ranged powers, laser pistols will be provided by Lazertag Inc. (In game terms, if you use one and do not use pistols regularly or have PS: Weapons Use, you take a -2 OCV)

1) The first event is the Distance Accuracy. Competitors will try to hit targets at increasing distances. Each competitor will have three chances to hit a target. The last one remaining wins. If a competitor fails to hit a target within three tries, they are out.

2) The speed shooting competition will have the competitors shoot as many targets as they can within a 24 second shot clock. The competitor with the most shots hit will win. The distance is a fixed distance of 10 meters (-2 Range Mod)

3) The contestants use either natural powers or provided laser pistols to blast a flying drone which is very nimble. First one to blast it will win. Shots can continue to to taken until the top five finishers have hit their targets.

---

The Blue Arrow reads over the rules, gets to the third item and smirks. "Hey judge, is it okay if I tap your drone with a fowling arrow?"

The judge says, "There will be more than one drone. So...I suppose? But we'd also like to minimize damage to them."

"Won't damage it," Blue Arrow affirms.

Supernal says, "Is throwing things allowed?"

The Deputy Mayor, Jane Demitrius, is again given the MC duties here at the individual competition. The crowd is just as packed as it was for the team competition. She says into the microphone, "Thank you all for coming to the first individual event for this year's Best of the Best! Today's event will be Accuracy. And to help facilitate that, we have a proud sponsor in Lazertag Inc, who have generously provided several laser target pistols for use in the competition!"

The judge nods to Supernal, "I don't see why not. You would be limited on how far you can throw, of course."

Artemis rubs her chin. And what of whips? It takes skill to hit a target with a whip.

Supernal is disappointed by the dearth of cars on the field.

Jane then points over toward the judge's table, where Zeal Zudares stands up and waves to the crowed, "Their CEO is here today! Miss Zeal Zudares!" Of course, much of the city also knows of her being married to Dorian Perrault, Starguard Gamma's commander.

Hawk applauds.

Supernal looks about for likely things to throw. She may just have to use lightning.

Fauna has come to see what the excitement is about, hearing first what is happening and arriving soon after she figures out where it is, drawn once she is close enough by the loudness of the gathered people, and is among those who perch a bit higher to get a good look, awestruck by the gathered colourful persons.

The Blue Arrow ensures her entire lineup is made of fowling arrows, stringing the longbow and examining the range portion's markers. She goes to the furthest one.

Timewarp sits down and sketches the scene while waiting for the competition to start.

Jane then continues. "We'll start with the long distance accuracy! Targets will be set out at 10m, and then moved back gradually as the heroes stay in the competition. Our longest range is 130m, nearly the length of the full coliseum!"

Hawk approaches Supernal, "You are seeking something?" she asks, her voice obviously slightly distorted.

The stands have been set up so the crowd is seated on teh side. There is very little chance of a stray shot hitting anyone.

Supernal says, "I'm just wishing I'd brought something to throw. It doesn't matter, though."

Solomon emerges from the stands after making a quick run at the concessions stands. A hundred bucks later and he's feeling fine- that ought ot last him a bit, long enough to make it through todays contest anyway. As he hops over the guard rail to the Coliseum floor he lands with a heavy thud- far heavier than a man his size should land with. He makes his way towards the rules and reads them over before sighing as he thinks, .o0('Ok- how r we gonna smash our way through dis one? Maybe dey waz rite 'bout dez events not jsut bein' 'bout smashing')

Hawk reaches into one of her belt pouches, and pulls out a pack of steel ball bearings each 1.5cm in diameter. "Will these suffice?"

Arthur Aevus, Kats fusion form, is checking over the rules diligently.

Finding that the target will be moved instead of the shooter, The Blue Arrow just stands at the starting mark.

Supernal says, "Oh - yes - thank you! Those look easy to throw."

Hawk nods and moves to her spot on the shooting line.

Arthur pulls a wrench out of his coat pocket. They're always handy to have. He gives it a twirl and drops it on his foot.

Not having any accurate ranged attacks, Thunder is actually being outfitted with a laser pistol. A bit reinforced 'cause super strong teen and heat of the moment, but well... laser tag can be fun! He's obviously not expecting to do well in this, but perhaps he could ask some time for training in something that does actual projectiles on his part. Yep.

The judge says, "Everyone, please line up and take your first shots. Targets at at 10m."

Timewarp takes a pistol, not having a ranged power, strictly speaking.

Three other individuals show up just as the heroes are lining up. The first is the most recognizable. Grizzly. He's a...bipedal bear. He actually decides to use a laser pistol.

Black Widow walks over to the line as well, but doesn't grab a weapon initially. So apparently a natural attack of some kind?

The Blue Arrow considers ways to make the shot more interesting, but with the wide open space and few things between her and the target, just one rebound could happen. She draws and fires, a bit casually. She's not taking careful time to aim.

Timewarp gets in some accelerated-time pistol practice.

Hawk draws a flight arrow from her quiver, the fletching extra long and glued spiraled on the shaft. Her other hand draws out what seems at first a short thick stick from a pouch at her hip. She shakes the stick and it expands into a compound bow. Setting the arrow she draws back, aims, and fires.

Lastly, there's a man decked out in what looks like ceramic armor, all in white. His name is announced as 'Spectre'. He also doesn't grab a pistol.

Thunder takes aim more classic military style. Both hands on the pistol, sighting down it. The stance looks a bit odd on the normally martial artist style teenager, but he's obviously used to it as he begins to take his aim.

The Blue Arrow watches Hawk, "Huh. That looks familiar..."

Grizzly has no difficulty hitting the target. It's almost like he uses weapons...all the time. He's a natural. Black Widow fires a blob of...webbing from her hand and hits the target as well. Spectre...fires an energy blast from his fist...a bright white one, somewhat similar to some heroes in town. And he also hits.

Supernal throws a ball bearing through the edge of the target.

Timewarp shoots the target so quickly most people don't see her gun move.

Havoc steps up to the line and takes aim with the pistol. He glances at it with a smirk, wondering what he might think of himself if his past self could see his current self playing with guns for charity & with a whoe legion of capes!

He chuckles and then Squeezes the trigger.

Artemis takes a pistol, examining it curiously.

The Blue Arrow waits for the go-ahead before collecting her arrow and walking back to the mark.

The Brutish Havoc looks at the gun and grumbles something incoherently. He takes aim again pulls the trigger.

Havoc curses and grits his teeth so hard it can liekyl be heard by others nearby- luckily they're as unbreakable as the rest of his skeleton. "Sonofa..." He says before the rest becomes a cacophony of bleeps and blips.

He squeezes the trigger again once centering up with the target suddenly glad his past self can't see him now.

The Coliseum was always impressively large, but the renovated stadium is breathtaking. It stretches in a vast oval, with the narrow ends climbing to a greater height, giving the impression of a great ship; from this "bow" and "stern" lights shine down upon the arena. Large screens relay any action too remote to see directly.

Arthur picks up his wrench and steps to the line.

Artemis seems to figure out the weapon, though is disdainful of it as she aims.

Everyone has hit the targets, so they're moved back further. The target is now at 25m.

The Blue Arrow takes another casual type shot, again not really focused on the aiming part, doing it by pointing arrow directly upward, drawing back the string as it lowers and firing when it is lined up to the target.

Arthur gets distracted by something and misses his chance to participate. Some of the people in his head are in disagreement over something.

Hawk draws another blue fletched flight arrow from her quiver and notches it on her bow. She lowers the bow for a second, looking downrange at the target, becoming the target, lifting the bow and pulling back then firing in one smooth action.

Supernal is more careful with this ball-bearing throwing and actually does better than last time.

Artemis finishes an internal debate on if the Mandolorian's pacing was good or not. Porter's mind gets out of the debate while Kat and the other continue, so Arthur throws his wrench at the target. It bounces back towards his hand afterwards.

Timewarp at least remembers to make it clear she's the one shooting by pointing the gun at the target long enough for people to see this time.

Again, Grizzly, Black Widow, and Spectre all do reasonably well hitting the targets. Black Widow heads over to grab a pistol for the next round, as it's going to be out of her natural power range shortly.

Arthur catches his wrench in the face on the third time. "Ow..."

Arthur rubs his face and picks up the wrench. "Bound to happen..."

Thunder takes a few shots, frowning as he ends up missing. The second shot he shows that he at least has a good sense to take his time on the aim and brace before firing away. The third just misses wildly. Sighing, he gives a wave at the crowd before stepping back to stay out of the way.

After everyone shoots again...Thunder is eliminated, and the targets move back further. They are now at a full 50m away.

Hawk shifts her bow to the crook of her arm to applaud Thunder's effort.

The Blue Arrow takes a little more time with this, drawing back and firing less casually. (adding 2 more OCV for base 10, ending up with OCV 8 still after rangemod. Not bracing.)

Hawk has reached the limit of the range she's practiced at. Not that she's going to give up by any means. Looking down she checks her footing, making sure she's set and balanced correctly. Drawing out another flight arrow she once more focuses on the target, 'becoming the target' as her trainer so ogten told her. Then she pulls back, aims, and looses the shaft. (Set and Brace, +4 vs range from flight arrow)

Havoc tries to breath and calm himself which isn't really his strong suit. He's prone to flying off the handle and breathing heavily- which isn't helpful for the contest he finds himself in.

He braces himself and his weapon as he lines up his ironsights and squeezes the trigger once... and then again for good measure.

Arthur braces himself and takes aim at the target.

Supernal hits the target at the first attempt, impressing herself.

Grizzly and Spectre have no issues hitting the target this time....but Black Widow takes two shots to hit.

Apparently she's not quite as comfortable with the pistol?

Artemis steadies her gun and braces with her other hand to fire.

Artemis misses the first time, but manages to hit on the second. She chuckles in surprise.

Timewarp still shows no particular effort in hitting the target. She has gone and fetched herself a deck chair and some lemonade: from her point of view she's been out here a while now.

The targets are moved back again...this time to 100m out. They DO look awful small at that range.

Sure enough, Judith is out at this range, missing all three times.

Supernal looks dubiously at the ball bearing in her hand. She tries for a running throw!

Arthur studies his wrench. "Trusty sonic omniwrench, don't fail me now!" The crosses his fingers and throws.

Hawk remains exactly as she was in her footing. The fourth of her flight arrows is draw from the quiver. A brief thought crosses her mind. oO(I'd better not miss too often or I'm going to run out.) Again she takes time to focus in on the target, and looses the arrow.

The wrench strikes true, nearly hits a waterboy on the ricochet, and raps Arthur's knuckles before dropping at his feet. "Ow!" He scoops it up.

A puff of dirt where it hit the ground indicates that that won't work. Supernal shrugs. She tilts her head far back and shoots lightning from her nostrils toward the target instead.

The Blue Arrow snaps another shot toward the target, turning rapidly after facing the wrong direction, ensuring she isn't too focused upon it.

Again, just like hte last range...Grizzly and Spectre hit immediately...and Black Widow takes two tries. She mutters, "How are you all hitting at that range? I can barely see it."

Artemis takes aim with the laser pistol, squinting at the target as he braces herself.

Another arrow is fast-drawn and another shot flung, as the Blue Arrow's first miss arrives.

Supernal manages to produce much scorched ground and ozone, but misses the target.

Artemis hits on the last shot, which takes her by surprise.

There's at least one person in the front row who just lost money because Artemis actually hit. He throws a betting slip in the air.

A nod of respect is accord to Hawk from the Blue Arrow. One skilled archer to another.

Timewarp is beginning to find this difficult. Running back and forth check sight lines only gets you so far....

Jane speaks up again on the microphone, "My, we still have a lot of contestants in. We will have two rounds at our longest range. If we still have more than one competitor remaining, we will make the target smaller at that point!"

Up in the above-crowd, Fauna adds to the cheering volume with the power of an elephant trumpet.

Havoc grins. "Alright- dat wazn't so bad." He says after hitting his last two shots. He's feeling pretty good about things not realizing there are plenty of trained shots who showed up today.

He keeps his bracing as the target moves back and he tries not to move a muscle which of course makes all of this much harder. He frowns as he tries to keep himself steady before squeezing the trigger again.

The targets are moved back once more...to their maximum range in this stadium. 130m away.

Hawk nods back to Blue Arrow. Being careful not to move her feet. She's never shot at this range and it might be beginner's luck and accidentally perfect footing.

Supernal waves to the crowd despite her loss, and goes to sit on the grass beside Timewarp.

More grumbling comes from Havoc before he fires twice more.

The last shot is accompanied by an angry roar as Havoc finds himself out of shots to proceed to the next round.

Artemis shakes her head at Havoc's roar. "'Tis the nature of sport."

The crowd cheers again as the shots are made. They're usually pretty quiet during the shots, amazingly.

Supernal calls, "Hard luck!" to Havoc and pats the ground beside her.

Arthur sets himself to the task and braces for failure. He winds up and throws his wrench.

Grizzly finally misses all three shots. He grumbles, but then chuckles. "This is why I use automatic weapons. This right here."

Hawk is taking longer, zoning in on the target before loosing off another flight arrow.

Arthur hits the second time. "Whew!" The wrench flings off askew and lands a few feet from him for pickup.

Artemis rolls her neck and takes aim. She's certain she can't strike something that far.

"Hah hah!" Artemis cries out as she hits in the first shot. "Netzah's fortune favors me this day!"

Likewise, Spectre is out after this round. Three straight shots and all miss cleanly. Not even close. Black Widow hits on the first go.

The Blue Arrow still does not root and steady herself, though she does take her time with the shot before releasing this one, focused on target.

Timewarp looks quite astonished that she missed with all three shots!

Timewarp thinks. o O (I knew I should have used a tripod, and measured wind speed first. I wonder if that would be cheating....)

Hawk places her bow on the ground and breaks out of her 'lucky' stance to go over and offer Timewarp a consoling hug. "You did brilliantly for someone who doesn't normally use ranged weapons."

Artemis holds her breath and prays to Netzah for another favor as she fires.

Artemis didn't pray hard enough! She sets her weapon down and smiles as she steps away from the line.

Hawk hurries back to take her second shot at this range.

The Blue Arrow waits for Hawk to get back into position, eyes settling on the target.

Arthur tests the weight of his trusty wrench once more. Who needs aerodynamic arrows when you have luck on your side?

Timewarp says, "Oh, uh, thanks! I kind of thought I'd do better though."

Arthur hits his target and ducks as the wrench nearly hits him on the nose on its return.

Black Widow manages to hit the target as well, leaving four remaining.

The targets are swapped out for somethign smaller. (DCV 7) (Really, the targets are 3 DCV, with a +4 DCV for size, for those that it matters for)

Hawk feels over her shoulder at her back slung quiver, checking the number of remaining flight arrows.

Arthur picks up his wrench and eyes it scoldingly for almost hitting him. "Please behavior," he says as he lines up his throw before tossing it.

The Blue Arrow doesn't change from her last shot's stance, drawing and firing with little hindrance.

Arthur hits the smaller target. Even he looks surprised. So surprised that this time, the wrench does whack him in the forehead and leaves a welt. "Ow!"

Again, all four remain in the competition. And again...the target is made smaller still.

Arthur thinks he's pushing his luck a little too far.

Arthur rubs his forehead. With a little luck, it's not as bad as it looks. He steadies himself and throws again.

Black Widow is out after the target is made about the size of a small plate. She shakes her head and returns the laser pistol she borrowed.

Hawk is as surprised as anyone when she hits the target with her second arrow. She wasn't at all surprised when she missed with the first.

Havoc grumbles some more but he keeps watch on the others. He's no marksman- not by a long shot, but he was hoping ot do better than that. He doesn't generally have to deal with being sporting after a loss- after all, he rarely looses but this Coliseum seems ot have it out for him as he's lost every time he's come here.

He finds a seat and takes it next to Artemis & Supernal after flagging down a beer vendor.

Again, only one person is out after that round. The Deputy Mayor makes another announcement. "We have only 2 smaller targets. If we're still tied after the next two rounds, we'll declare a tie."

Smaller targets are put in place. Now the size of a coaster.

Arthur isn't even sure he can see the thing, but he winds up, focuses, and throws.

Beer in hand, Havoc is now free to play spectator with one of the best seats in the house. He laughs when he sees the size of the targets. "Oh Good Luck- yule all be needin' it."

Arthur's luck hasn't run out just yet. He catches his wrench this time. . o O (Wow, that...was really lucky!)

Hawk aagain feels the number of flight arrows left in the quiver. Passes over them and draws a bodkin arrow. She's done better than she expected. No dishonor in going out now and she might need a flight arrow for more serious circumstances.

Supernal says, "It's not hitting a target that small which is hard. It's hitting it with something small."

Hawk chuckles, "Well that's a surprise!" she says as her second bodkin arrow hits the target.

Timewarp applauds!

This time the Blue Arrow actually puts herself into the narrow focused stance.

The crowd goes wild. Everyone is still actually in the competition. Jane says, "Last target, folks! We can't make it any harder than this!" Sure enough, an even smaller target is placed. A quarter.

Hawk holds briefly to see how the others still in the contest do.

Arthur holds his breath as he braces himself and throws.

Supernal says, "They could use a dime!"

Havoc nods. "Dats true. I didn't see 'em handing out pickups to throw or I woulda murdalized this contest." He says raising a beer to his fellow competitor before downing it.

Arthur misses all three times. Looks like his luck ran out.

Arthur steps away from the line as he pockets his wrench, more tired than he realized. o O (That took a bit out of me...)

"Huh." The Blue Arrow says as all three shots land equidistant from each other. Right beside the target. "Hey what happens if everyone misses this round?"

Hawk is smiling, although the hood conceals her face. She turns to Blue Arrow, bows, and drops three arrows at her own feet.

The judge says, "Then all three of you tie for first."

Supernal says, "If this was Abanax VII, they'd settle it by sudden death. The first contestant to die, wins."

Havoc growls at Supernal's comment as if that didn't sound like a bad way to determine things at all.

The Blue Arrow nods to Hawk. "You hit more than I did. Official or not, you did better."

Artemis comments to Supernal, "First to die wins?" She laughs.

The end result of the first round, then...is a three way tie between Arthur, Hawk, and Blue Arrow (7 points each), Black Widow and Artemis (1 point each)

Hawk shakes her head, "You are the better archer. I would not have the vagrancy of a gust of wind or a fluke of luck distract from the example of accuracy we have seen today from you, Blue Arrow.".

On to speed shooting. This may also cause ties. Target is small, like before. DCV 5. At a range of 10m. (-2 Rangemod)

The Blue Arrow moves to collect her arrows, then readies for the next event.

Arthur is surprised to find out he tied. He smiles warmly. Eat that, Griffin!

Arthur pulls out a handful of quarters for this round. "How did I get so many buttons in here..?" he asks as he picks one up to examine it.

The Blue Arrow does a quick count of her quiver. "Nice... I think I have enough..."

Arthur studies the target before they get started, a handful of change at the ready. Plus some buttons.

Hawk collapses her bow and stores it back in a pouch at her hip. Lifting her hands she brings them together palms forward and slightly cupped, bracing herself in readiness. Tiny balls of white hot fire form in her cupped hands and dart off at the target.

Artemis picks up the laser again and attempts to shoot.

The Blue Arrow empties her quiver, hitting with every shot. She waits for the judges to make their thing said before she goes to collect.

Taking the sort of stance she has seen officers use with handguns, Judith is taking her time and lining up her shots carefully. It is obvious that she isn't really that well trained with her weapon, but she does the best that she can. Shooting slowly and deliberately, she does her best.

Arthur hits every time he throws an object.

Artemis misses three times.

Timewarp hits with all 12 shots.

Supernal hits only 6 out of 10 times.

Grizzly, Spectre, and Black Widow all manage to hit the targets exceedingly well, getting 10, 10, and 12, respectively.

Hawk hits nine times out of ten attempts. The target gets ripped and torn and burned despite her using minimal power.

The Blue Arrow waits for the judge to decide what to do in the event of a many way tie.

Results come in over the next few minutes: The leaders in the round get 7 points (Timewarp, Rangel, and Black Widow). Those with 10, get 1 point. (Spectre, Grizzly, Havoc, and Arthur)

The Blue arrow collects her arrows, setting them back into the quiver and returning to the mark.

Current standings: Blue Archer 14, Black Widow and Arthur 8, Timewarp and Hawk 7, then Artemis, Spectre, Grizzly and Havoc 1.

Supernal says, goodnaturedly, as she goes to sit down, "I really thing they should add a car-throwing contest next time."

Supernal says, "Are we allowed to use any powers? Or are we only allowed to shoot?"

The judge says, "I'm not sure I understand the question."

The Blue Arrow sets one fowler into ready position, settling in what looks to be a very relaxed position.

Supernal says, "How about, are there any powers we aren't allowed to use?"

The judge says, "If you have a ranged attack power, that is legal. You can't just...reach out and touch the drones. You have to shoot...something.

Hawk enquires, "Are ranged attacks that affect an area allowed?"

The judge continues, "If it's a blast...or...something that wraps the target up? That's fine." He shakes his head at Hawk's question. "No large scale attacks."

Thunder raises an eyebrow, looking over at the judge at that one, then sighs. "There goes using most of my martial arts. Ah well."

The judge adds, "This is about precision and accuracy. It it's about being a flak cannon."

The judge adds, "This is about precision and accuracy. It isn't about being a flak cannon."

Supernal says, "Ok, got it."

Timewarp grins. "I suppose going back in time and shooting it this morning is out, too."

Jane says, "And here come out automated drones for the last round!" Sure enough, several drones fly in...in formation. They're all pretty small...and zippy quick. Each is about the size of a PDA with little mini rotor blades. "Again, courtesy of the Zudares family and Lazertag Inc!"

Havoc looks at the peashooter he's been given for this round. "I'ma break dis thing..." He grumbles as he prepares for the round.

The Coliseum was always impressively large, but the renovated stadium is breathtaking. It stretches in a vast oval, with the narrow ends climbing to a greater height, giving the impression of a great ship; from this "bow" and "stern" lights shine down upon the arena. Large screens relay any action too remote to see directly.

Hawk readies her bow and a blunt arrow.

The Blue Arrow waits for Timewarp to get herself good and aimey, then abruptly launches an arrow at a drone before she can open fire.

Timewarp slips into accelerated time, then aims carefully before firing.

A smirk comes over the Blue Arrow as her plan goes the other way, amused, waiting to see if she even gets another chance.

Timewarp mutters to herself, "Stupid gun. So much easier just to run up and hit things."

Hawk lifts the bow smoothly and looses as her sightline crosses the predicted path of the drone in front of her.

Hawk bows to the judge and then to the crowd.

That earns a nod from The Blue Arrow. "Nice." even as she's pulling another to nock and fire.

Havoc isn't much for being quick on the draw- and he can take the time to take the shot without concern for being shot himself in almos tany sitution. So he des jsut that. He braces himself and then squeezes the trigger.

Supernal has had enough of throwing ball-bearings. She tilts her head back and shoots lightning at a drone.

Supernal *may* have hit that drone a little harder than strictly necessary.

Artemis steps to the line and tracks the targets with her eyes. Lasers aren't her weapon of choice, but one cannot be unfamiliar with them with all the adventuring she's done across a few galaxies. She raises the weapon and braces with both hands. She's not as fast as the others, but with a prayer to Netzah to mark her, she pulls the trigger and strikes her target. She lets out a whoop and raises a fist. "I shall make offerings of drink and food in your name this eve, Netzah!"

Arthur still just has his wrench. Sonic omni-wrench, if anyone asks. Never leave home without it! He draws back his arm, takes a moment to line himself up, and there's the pitch! CLANG! He tags his mobile target. "Excellent," he smiles as the wrench spins and ricochets back to him. He catches it, twirls it, and slides it in his coat pocket like a gunslinger.

Grizzly grumbles, "Again, why can I not use my machine gun? Grrr...."

Timewarp tags her drone, finally, embarrassed about missing the first time.

Black Widow gives up on the pistol and fires a blob of webbing at the drone from her hand...and it drops to the ground, all tangled up.

The Blue Arrow readies her next shot, still amused at herself for the failure to show off, no longer trying to now that the cat's out of the bag, so to speak. She slides her arrow back into the quiver, nodding to Timewarp. "Didn't mean to startle you."

The shooting commences...and the results are determined. Drone strike finishers, in order: Hawk, Supernal, Artemis, Arthur, Thunder.

These are the results from the full competition for today: Final standings for the Accuracy contest: Blue Archer and Hawk: 14, Arthur: 9, Black Widow: 8, Timewarp: 7, Supernal: 5, Artemis: 4, Spectre, Grizzly, Havoc, and Thunder: 1, Judith: 0.

The deputy mayor then announces "We have a tie for today's competition! Our two most accurate heroes are...Blue Archer and Hawk! Point totals toward the full individual Best of the Best are...Blue Archer and Hawk with 7...Arthur with 3...Black Widow and Timewarp with 1."

Timewarp can't help but display a little disappointment - but feels the results are fair.

The Blue Archer nods to Hawk. "I expected to do worse. Not often I meet anyone who can keep up."

Havoc flags down another beer. For a loser he seems in good spirits- he knows this wasn't his forte and has had time for his boiling blood to simmer.

So he orders a round for all the competitors which prompts the beer-man to flag down other draft runners.

Havoc pays in old style cash.

The deputy mayor says, "Thank you again for coming! We'll have the next team event in three weeks, after the holidays! Be ready for Survival!"

Hotfoot enters from MagLev System.

Hawk bows back, "I am surprised. I did not expect to do as well as I did."

"Guess if we both lower our standards enough we can surprise ourselves endlessly," The Blue Arrow muses to Hawk.

Fauna is up in the stands, making an elephant's trumpet between event rounds as cheering.

After the event, Judith returns her loaner blaster and gives a shrug, "I've started working on the range as a part of my law enforcement training. But I obviously have a lot to learn about weapon handling." she states, "But it's not about winning. It's about competing, right?" she asks.

The Blue Arrow nods. "That's why I'm here."

Zeal Zudares is there to take the blaster back, "Absolutely. I'm impressed with your showing, actually. Well done."

Blushing a bit, Judith shrugs her shoulders, "Thanks." she says to the agent. "I'll do better next year, for sure." she states before she turns to head for the team events....
