Down the Hatch

~ Game inspired by the Vyk Games sponsored by Odin's Fist ~  

What would a festival be without ale?  The concept is simple:  Drink until you can't drink anymore.  Last one standing (even remotely) wins.

Rules:
  • Each match goes until only one participant is still standing.
  • Each match consists of two drinkers, from different guilds.
  • Participants initialize with 1d6.
  • Each round, the two drinkers drink a full mug of ale and roll 1d20 for effect.
  • There is a chance of passing out or getting sick on each round, with that chance growing increasingly higher as each round progresses.
  • You must win with an even number of drinks.  If your opponent passes out or gets sick, you must STILL take your final drink and finish the round.  If both drinkers are knocked out in one round, the match ends in a tie.
  • If either drinker makes it through Round 9, they gain extra VPs as listed below.
  • The queue keeper must be contacted to sign up and combatants will be called in the order in which they appear on the queue keeper's list.  This will allow random matchup, although requested matches can be performed as well, in accordance with the queue keeper's list.
  • A minimum of one proctor will be provided for the duration of this event on each night it is scheduled.  Additional proctors are welcome, if needed.
  • If a drinker is successful, he/she may continue with as many matches as they wish in the allotted time, until they are defeated. 
  • Round 1:  1 - Drinker gets sick / 20 - Drinker passes out.
  • Round 2:  1-2 - Drinker gets sick / 19-20 - Drinker passes out.
  • Round 3:  1-3 - Drinker gets sick / 18-20 - Drinker passes out.
  • Round 4:  1-4 - Drinker gets sick / 17-20 - Drinker passes out.
  • Round 5:  1-5 - Drinker gets sick / 16-20 - Drinker passes out.
  • Round 6:  1-6 - Drinker gets sick / 15-20 - Drinker passes out.
  • Round 7:  1-7 - Drinker gets sick / 14-20 - Drinker passes out.
  • Round 8:  1-8 - Drinker gets sick / 13-20 - Drinker passes out.
  • Round 9:  1-9 - Drinker gets sick / 12-20 - Drinker passes out.
VPs Awarding:
  • Victor gains 5 VPs.
  • Drinkers surviving the 9th round gain an additional 3 VPs for being an exceptional drinker.
  • Tied matches result in 3 VPs to each drinker.
  • Unsuccessful drinkers gain 2 VPs.

Beltane Limbo

Rhythm and dexterity are paramount to survive the dance.  Surrounding the dance area are several men, playing in unison upon the doumbek.  The tune ranges from a baladi, with its slow and heavy beat, to a a more up-tempo maqsum, in hopes of tripping up those who think they can truly limbo.  The stick is lowered upon each full pass of the participants, until all but one fail to reach the limits.

Rules:
  • There must be from four to ten participants to limbo.
  • Participants initialize with 1d100 to determine dancing order.
  • Each participant rolls 1d20 to navigate beneath the limbo bar.
  • The pole is lowered by three inches after each complete round.
  • With each round, the chance of success grows increasingly harder.
  • Round One: 2+ denotes success.
  • Round Two:  4+ denotes success.
  • Round Three:  6+ denotes success.
  • Round Four:  8+ denotes success.
  • Round Five:  10+ denotes success.
  • Round Six:  12+ denotes success.
  • Round Seven:  14+ denotes success.
  • Round Eight:  16+ denotes success.
  • Round Nine:  18+ denotes success.
  • Round Ten:  20 denotes success.
  • A minimum of one proctor will be provided for the duration of this event on each night it is scheduled.  Additional proctors are welcome, if needed.
