Journeyman Tasks!
Greetings! The Arkay Archery Guild has been growing steadily. There are now a score of Novices who should be foaming at the bit to ascend into the ranks of the Journeyman.
AA Journeymen are archers who've shown proficiency in the game. They make up the bulk of the members and are well respected for their ability though there is still room for improvement. Should they be able to remedy those small flaws they will be awarded the coveted title of Master!
Journeymen in the Arkay Archery Guild are widely respected and already posses knowledge of a wide variety of archery related subjects. To prove your proficiency you can choose one of the following tasks. Please take into account that the manner in which you complete the assignment is as vital as the result. You will be judged on effort invested, roleplaying ability and quality of report.
1. Guild Archery Games
The Arkay Archery Guild is starting to establish it's reputation. We're already advancing nicely in our abilities and our devotion to the Way of the Archer. To demonstrate our abilities, to draw other archers to our cause and to have a general jolly good time I want you to host an elaborate Archery Tournament called: The Guild Archery Games, or GAG!
First of all, you'll need to come up with a few archery related games to base the tournament around. Then, you'll need to send around personal invitations to the different towns and groups around the lands. The location must be well decorated and provide enough food, beverages and entertainment for both the archers and the spectators.
The person completing this mission with excellence, will have proven his initiative and leadership abilities. You'll have shown you have what it takes to become a journeyman and are well underway to become the first Grandmaster of the Guild!
