Day 318, Year 548<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Dun’ilsar<\/a>
\nis a traditional sylvan inter-clan competition, in which the clans
\ncompete against each other for honor and glory. That sylvan tradition
\nwas brought to Puddlbey by E’las Loth’mon Ferindril, and has since
\nbecome one of the most exciting and longest running contests in the
\nlands.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Dunilsar<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, my clan challenged the Order of the White Elephant to a
\ncontest of skill, hoping to improve our ranking within the Dun’ilsar
\nladder. For the contest we chose the Hunter<\/a>
\nchallenge, in which one member from each of the clans is designated the
\n“Hunter”, and is given 3 puddle hours to slay the greatest variety of
\nmonsters possible. The rest of the clan members can either aid their
\nHunter, or hinder the opposing team’s Hunter.\n<\/p>\n

For the challenge we chose our Clan Lord Fleming to be our
\nHunter, and the dwarf Charlos was chosen as the Hunter for OWE. Before
\nthe start of the challenge, both of our clans gathered in the Puddleby
\npark and lined up to begin. Then, on the word of the dwarf Torin, the
\ncontest was begun!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Contest

The first destination for ELF was the Lily Pond, where we hoped to
\nfind a large variety of critters. However, a number of members from OWE
\nfollowed us to LP in an effort to distract us.<\/p>\n

Once we reached the Lily Pond, OWE set up a formidable wall of
\npretzels and kudzu in the narrow entrance to the Pond. Thus, while our
\nHunter Fleming was off hunting, the rest of us were furiously cutting
\ndown kudzu, and eating our way through boxes of pretzels.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Lucikily, we were able to clear most of the fortifications by the
\ntime Fleming was done in LP, foiling OWE’s plans. Having been
\nunsuccessful in their efforts to distract us, OWE ceased following us,
\nand returned to aid their own Hunter. Meanwhile, our clan made its way
\nto the Myrm Hive.<\/p>\n

Hunting in the Hive soon proved to be disasterous. We soon
\nbecame split up in the twisted passages of the Hive, and several of my
\nclanmates became lost. Then, in the Queen’s Chamber, we lost all three
\nof our Fighters while fighting the the Queen Myrm, leaving only our
\nhealers up.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Queen's
Trouble in the Hive<\/b>
<\/font><\/p>\n

It took us quite a while to extricate ourselves from the mess, and
\nafterwards we struggled to make up for the lost time. We headed from
\nthe Hive to the Bear Cave, then hit the River Tunnel and Wurm Cave.
\nFrom there we worked our way south through the beaches, and made a
\nquick stop at the Meshra Cave and Marsh.<\/p>\n

Then, with 40 puddle minutes of the contest remaining, we made
\nour way to the West T’rool Mines. Most of us did not make it that far,
\nbut Fleming managed to reach the T’rool mines by himself, and added a
\nnumber of T’rools, ‘Dews, and cave critters to our already long list of
\nslain monsters. Then the time ran out for the contest, and we returned
\nto park to tally up our counts.<\/p>\n

\nTallying up the kills for both of the Hunters proved to be a long and suspensful task, even with the aid of the helpful Scribia<\/a>. Finally, after a series of very long minutes, Fleming announced the results: OWE 74, ELF 64. We had lost the Dun’ilsar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Dun'ilsar
OWE wins the Dun’ilsar contest<\/b>
<\/font><\/p>\n

Still, it was a very exciting and close contest. The beauty of
\nDun’ilsar is that there are no losers, as long as everyone has fun. OWE
\nis now considering challenging the Clan of the Rising Claw for the top
\nspot in the Dun’ilsar ladder, and ELF is working on a challenge against
\nthe Dwarven Millitia. Tav’riel Dun’ilsar! For the Glory of all Clans!<\/p>\n
