The annual harvest season has kicked off with much excitement among all the citizens of Jhovheem. There are many booths in the open market with nifty things for sale, and things to look at. There is the pumpkin carving area, and this year is a new pumpkin-centric activity.
Old Jarl of the proud Bjorn lineage is trying to revitalize a game played by his great great ancestors.
There is an odd contraption facing down a long clear strip of land. At the other end of this trip is a …bullseye?
Jarl explains:
“Try ’yer luck with my family’s antique pumpkin chucker! See how far you can get the pumpkin to go! Hit the bullseye and get yerself a prize!”

You can feel it. This time’s going to be the one! The pumpkin’s surely going to hit it’s mark… right? You watch the pumpkin fly through the air. It’s going but you know how this goes.

The pumpkin falls from the sky. You can’t belive what you see. The pumpkin falls right onto the bullseye.

While watching your gourd fly into the air, you have hope it’ll make it. Watching it go, you see it as it falls down to the ground. At least it’s past the halfway point.
“Good try, friend. Ya got it pretty far! Haves ye this then.”

There’s a little bit of hope, seeing how far the pumpkin is going in the air. It looks like it could make it. You hope that it will. However, that hope is short lived, seeing it hit the ground half way between the bullseye and the actual halfway point.
“It’s gettin’ close there! Maybe ya try again next time, though. Have this for yer prize.”
You are given Small Statue

With great excitement, you watch the arm of the contraption fling the pumpkin into the fall air. Before you can hope that it will make it, you see the pumpkin crack open from hitting the ground many feet short of it’s projected destination.
