Xellos walks up to the knife throwing station, twirls a dagger around in both hands and throws them underhanded and overhanded in rapid succession, determined to hit the apple

Second throw: Apple 15
Pleased with splitting the apple, he throws them towards the pumpkin
Third throw: Pumpkin 17
Then throws one in-between his legs towards the hay bale
Fourth throw: Hay bale 21
He turns his back to the scarecrow and fires a dagger over his shoulder

Gohdrin Ray deftly twirls one of the knives in her hand, indicating she's no stranger to this sort of game. She stands directly facing the pumpkin and with her right hand she lets loose her first throw: 21
Her face immediately reveals a flash of anger and she throws two knives, in quick succession, at the pumpkin: 724
"Remarkable!" she blurts out. She then shakes her head, switches the next knife from her right hand to her left and throws again at the pumpkin: 4
The crowd emits a mixture of laughter and cheers. Someone then calls out, "Do it again!"
Gohdrin laughs in disbelief at her success with her left hand. "Why not?" she replies. Aiming once again at the pumpkin with her left hand, she throws: 2
The throw misses badly, and Gohdrin shrugs her shoulders and quietly walks away. (9 total points)

Ozum, not having performed well in any competition, will decide to throw all of his knives at the apples on the off chance that luck and a bit of skill will favor him at the end of the day.
The first day of the tournament then concludes, and you estimate that in less than an hour's time darkness will fall upon the city of Talisten. The taverns and inns, however, will soon become filled with song, conversation, toasting, drinking, eating, and more drinking and eating. The crowd of tournament spectators begins to thin out as you approach the latest posting that shows the final results of the knife-throwing contest. A Talisten guard pins the piece of parchment to the announcement board and you see the following:
KNIFE-THROWING RESULTS
First place, and winner of magical dagger, Kurt Stoneseeker (36 points)
Second place, and winner of 100 pieces of gold, Xellos Mazoku (30 points)
Third place, and winner of 50 pieces of gold, Arissa Antal (27 points)
Morindak approaches you Kurt, gives you a pat on the back, and says, "Well done, lad! Rest up because I won't go so easy on you tomorrow." He chuckles loudly and hurries off to wherever his evening meal awaits him.
Garret Goodbarrel nods in your direction Ozum as he passes by you. Huck and Mithro are with him; so too are three halfling children, along with their mother, who've been cheering for him all day. Mithro extends you an invitation to join him and Huck later. "Certainly enjoyed your company last night, Ozum. If you find yourself with nothing to do, you should stop by Flannervy's tavern later this evening. Huck and I've heard good things about the place. Bring your friends!"
The evening of day one of the festival awaits all of you...
Xellos curses his choice of targets knowing it cost him, but is content with the gold.
He says to Frandal, "Certainly, lead on. I feel like drinking know, almost had me a magical dagger if I picked my targets better, although the gold is alright." He sighs,"Oh well, all in good sport. Let's go!"
He makes sure his cloak is covering his horns and follows Frandal.

As you are heading northward with Xellos toward The Singing Fire, you recognize someone who is approximately thirty feet in front of you. Do you remember your encounter with the young lady yesterday? The one who's basket had spilled on the ground? You're certain that it's the same girl, and you watch as she quickly pulls the hood of her cloak over her head and begins to walk a bit faster, seemingly to catch up to an older man that is in front of her.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Yeah I was completly off on that last one contest, I should have tried something different but I guess that... " he interrupts as he sees that girl again.
"You see that girl over there Xellos?" he says pointing towards the half-elf and quickening his pace towards her " I am pretty sure that she tried to steal from me yesterday and that she is about to try to do the same on that poor old man. "
Frandal tries to catch her unaware from behind and grab her hand before she finish pickpocket the man.
"You shouldn't do that." he says to her " that could bring the attention of the guards..."
Stealth to catch her unaware ( if applicable): 13
If a grapple check is needed here it is: 11
If possible He will cast True Strike and then try to catch her hand. I am not sure for the War Magic feature says that you can make an attack weapon, but just in case here is the other roll: 14
If not he will not cast it at all.
I am using STR as a modifier but if DEX is applicable just add 4 to the above roll.
"Thank you Mithro. A nightcap certainly sounds like a good idea. I will see you tonight then." Before heading to the Donnybrook Ozum will find the tiefling he briefly met during the tournament. "A few of us are having a drink at Flannervy's Tavern later, you're welcome to join. My name is Ozum by the way."
He heads back to the Donnybrook searching for his drinking buddies from last night. If he sees Kurt he will try to invite him before he goes to bed. Then he will wait until he sees Alora and Arissa to invite them to drink with Mithro and his friends. Before it gets too late he will head over to Flannervy's Tavern.

To Frandal Silvereyes
To cover the ground that separates you from the girl, you need to work your way around a few other people that are walking along the street. You are able to reach her without being detected. You rapidly utter the True Strike cantrip and are successful in grasping her by the wrist. You notice, however, that she has already succeeded in picking the pocket of the old man because she's holding his coin purse. Her arm stiffens the moment you take hold of it. As you are speaking the words "You shouldn't do that," she begins, slowly, to turn and face you...
Roll initiative please. Her initiative roll: 10. If you choose to attack in this next round, the True Strike cantrip grants you advantage on that attack roll.

Initiative: 18
“Easy now, do you really want the guards aprehend you?”
he says in low voice to her.
Frandal doesn’t want to attack her, but will try to get the man’s coin purse and say to him. He will try to hold her though as he wants to speak with her.
”Here good man. This fair lady had recover your coin purse for you. Be more careful next time Sir”
and then, without letting her go say to her
“what are you thinking about? Do you want to end in prison or what?”
Alora will congratulate the winners of the day and seek out her companions from the inn having seen them all on the playing field. Since she was unable to find them there she will return to the Donnybrooke to find Ozum. Alora will join him for a celebratory drink before joining him where ever he would like to venture that evening!

Morindak the dwarf picks up one of the knives, closely looks it over, and weighs it in his hand. "If only this were an axe..." you hear him say.
He directs his first three knives at the bale of hay: 7, 20, and 7
He says aloud, "By Solinari's wand! Three for three. Let's see about that pumpkin." 8
"Not even close. Back to the bale of hay." 12

Noticing that he is running out of options to win this one he decides to throw the rest of his three attempts at the apple:
3rd: 9

5th: 19
I just noticed that the first two I was mistaken and it was +8 modifier, but it reaaly doesnt matter. :)
He hits another participant scarecrow with the first one and says “Sorry” with a innnocence smile to the guards.
The last two, however hits the apples. Not enough to win, but at least he is still on the competition. ( 24 points )
PbP Character: A few ;)
