How many pine cones?
Ever wondered if you could knock all the pine cones from that pesky pine tree? Well now's your time to shine! Your deer will charge at a pine tree, much like a battering ram, and see how many pine cones they can knock from its branches. A pure test of strength! The critter that knocks down the most pine cones wins!

Phaios was the first in line to prove herself against that pesky pine tree... and the only one in line it seems. While that put a bit of a damper on her fighting spirit, the judges urged her on and though she's not very strong, she still gave it her all. Six larges pine cones came clattering from the tree as she threw herself into its trunk, one even landing on her head.

Phaios wins a very pretty and polished green stone, a tiny silver metal flower charm, a paper toy windmill, and Mini pies!

Race around Red Hill
Are you fleet of foot and want to show it? Then test your character's speed and stamina; a race around the memorable Red Hill has been announced! Characters will run three laps around the hill and the fastest character wins!

Now Phaios wasn't the first in line for this event, but that just meant she wasn't alone this time! Four young racers would take off in their race around red hill. Phaios pulls out ahead of the others, followed closely by Fogkissed and Livia, Mesi trailing behind. Birch grass smacks against their faces as they run, and Livia gets a just tripped up enough that Mesi overtakes her. Fogkissed has pulled forward, going neck and neck with Phaios, both of them pushing themselves as hard as they can go as they fight for first place. And all it took was a stumble on a pebble for Fogkissed to trip into first place and over the finish line!
Fogkissed wins a tiny silver metal flower charm!

Tug of war
Some branches from the pond's willow trees have been woven together to form a rope for a tug of war battle! Characters can use their teeth, antlers, or even loop the rope around their body in order to pull their opponent across the line drawn in the dirt. A challenge that tests both strength of body and will! Are you stronger than your opponent?

In this game of tug of war one critter proved much craftier than the others. Looking to get back at Fogkissed for their lucky win in the race, Phaios takes on Fogkissed first. Both loop the rope around their bellys and pull! But well... Fogkissed is just that much stronger as Phaios goes tumbling across the line. Mesi is next, and while she manages to hold out a bit longer, she too ends up dragged head over tail across the line.
Fogkissed wins a balancing bird of the winner's color choice!

Deer Sumo
Ever wanted to lock antlers with your rival and give them a good toss to show your strength and skill? Join the deer sumo challenge! Face off against your opponent and lock antlers, or throw all your weight at theirs in order to throw or push them out of the mushroom ring!

Both of these competitors are tuckered out from going against one another in not one but two games before this, but here they go again. Neither is a sumo master, or much of a sparer in general... but they're determined to win! Phaios charges at Fogkissed, throwing all her weight at the other, but Fogkissed is an unmoving wall! Digging in her hooves, Kissed throws her shoulder in Phaios and rolls her like a deer ball right out of the ring!
Fogkissed wins a small charm Bo found in the Reaches!

How many pine cones?
Ever wondered if you could knock all the pine cones from that pesky pine tree? Well now's your time to shine! Your deer will charge at a pine tree, much like a battering ram, and see how many pine cones they can knock from its branches. A pure test of strength! The critter that knocks down the most pine cones wins!

Its the first adult game and everyone is roaring to go! Asteros is up first, and although he had size on his side, the big cat isn't fast enough to really throw himself at the tree. He gets 6 pinecones. Andrea is up next, and although she throws all her weight into it, she gets a giant ball of pines needles on her head, and 5 pinecones. Laurel is confident with her fast game, and that seems to shake all the pine cones loose in her tree! A few may have hit her when they dropped, but she's got the lead with 12 pine cones. Urshcanabi is up next, and this easter egg hunter gives it his best, and doesn't do half bad! Though these 8 pinecones dont look like eggs... Para is up next after, but has just managed to come over after competing in another sparring competition round. A bit sore and roughed up, Para manages to knock a single pine cone free.
Laurel wins a musical pocket watch, a pack of "bandage" seeds, a paper toy windmill, and a preserved flower crown!

Race around Red Hill
Are you fleet of foot and want to show it? Then test your character's speed and stamina; a race around the memorable Red Hill has been announced! Characters will run three laps around the hill and the fastest character wins!

This race has a good few more participants than the adolescent division did, which means its sure to be interesting. Aapeli and Atiq are the first to take off, neck and neck... for only a second before Aepeli quickly pulls away. Atiq kept getting birch grass in their eyes! Urshanabi is close behind Atiq, though can't seem to get around the stumbling deer! And this traffic jam sure isn't helping poor Andrea, who stumbled over the starting line and is finally catching up to the other racers, but doesn't look like she'll be getting past those two, so why not hang back and let them sort it out. At the front of the pack is Laurel, not built from speed yet she had took an amazing leap in the very begging that put her up front. Ceryn is right beside her now, big grin on his face as he challenges her for first place, a streak of gold around red hill. But Aapeli is getting closer and closer, legs pumping, hooves digging into the dirt to push himself forward, until finally he breaks between the two, pulling ahead and charging across the finish line in first place.
Aapeli wins a tiny silver metal flower charm, a musicale locket necklace, a serving of fish stew, and a pictogram reading!

Tug of war
Some branches from the pond's willow trees have been woven together to form a rope for a tug of war battle! Characters can use their teeth, antlers, or even loop the rope around their body in order to pull their opponent across the line drawn in the dirt. A challenge that tests both strength of body and will! Are you stronger than your opponent?

Aapeli might have won the race, but Atiq is.... oh wait that's Urchanabi! That feisty guy is all fired up and ready to stomp out his competitors! Ceryn is sure to challenge Laurel first, after all, they tied last time, and this time he is sure to pull out ahead. While the two are evenly matched in strength, perhaps it's Ceryn's antlers that gave him that extra strength needed to drag her across the line, or the muscle that Laurel pulled in the race. Urchanabi challenges Aapeli first, his chest practically puffed up with confidence. Aapeli isn't really made for tug of wars, but he makes sure to give Ursch a fight, the two going back and forth for awhile before the egg sniffer finally manages to win. While this struggles went one, Ceryn went against Atiq, and it was a mighty battle... at least Ceryn thought so, but Atiq got the upper hand with a few well timed pulls and came out victorious. Urchanabi made it to the finales and all that stood between him and the win was Atiq. He was stronger, so surely it would be no contest... but Aapeli had proved not to judge a book by its cover. Urch and Atiq went back and forth for five whole minutes, either side getting close to being pulled over the line multiple times, but neither relenting, until finally a leg gives out, and Urchanabi gets pulled over the line.
Atiq wins a tiny silver metal flower charm, a musicale bracelet, dried flower crown with some gold addons, and a paper toy windmill!

Deer Sumo
Ever wanted to lock antlers with your rival and give them a good toss to show your strength and skill? Join the deer sumo challenge! Face off against your opponent and lock antlers, or throw all your weight at theirs in order to throw or push them out of the mushroom ring!

This round of deer sumo didn't go as planned. Asteros decides to throw a wrench in the works and challenges the other three to a free for all in the ring, no one on one. Its more fun if they all challenge each other at once. And the judges accept the idea... for some reason. It's an exciting show, everyone pushing against each other, trying to keep their footing while watching the other three challengers in the little ring. And its a challenge that Laurel wasn't ready for. One misplaced hoof and Asteros manages to hip bump her out of the ring as he goes head to head with Para, Andrea pressing on both of them. Para is next to go, finding this is nothing like the sparring competition. Andrea is the one to push them out with a solid body slam that sends the other tumbling over and out of the ring. Facing off against one big cat, Andrea gives it everything she's got. He might be a little stronger than her, but where there's a will, there's a way, and she's determined to win! Puffing up her chest she throws her shoulder into the big cat, pressing on him as she digs in. He was going down! There was no way Asteros could stand up against that amount of willpower... that and his paws slipped on the mushroom ring, sending the big kitter sprawled out and leaving Andrea as the last critter standing!
Andrea wins a musical pocket watch, paper toy windmill, a pair of small intricately carved antlers, and a tiny silver metal flower charm!
