8:00 PM Adventure Guild in River’s Rest (lich #16023) Goat MILK?/ORSSUS How good is your aim? Can you fill your bucket the fastest? Since the goats weren’t too willing to cooperate, we’re using a dartboard instead. NOTE: For each round, every player throws three darts. The darts are added together for a score, counting doubles and triples is optional and will be decided beforehand. The highest score in each round is given a letter from the word MILK. The letters are given in order. The first person to fill their “bucket” with "MILK" wins.
