While half of this clearing is still cluttered with the stubs of long-ago chopped trees, the remainder has been carefully cleaned of stumps, roots, and other impediments. Tiered modwir benches overlook runways that are outlined in white paint and extend the length of the hazard-free section, ending abruptly at the edge of a deep crevasse. A pyramid-like arrangement of logs rests on the other side of the chasm. You also see some large iron basket torches and a caber toss field (open). | |
Obvious exits: north, east |

Scraped clean of snow all the way down to dirt level, a long narrow lane is delineated by long stripes of white paint set with white-painted pebbles. A chasm lies at the far end of the runway, and a row of yellow warning flags has been hammered into the ground about two giantman-strides short of its edge. Large basket torches blaze brightly, their smoky flames providing ample illumination for both judges and competitors. You also see some modwir benches a short distance away (open), a caber toss referee, a newly-painted sign and a scoreboard. | |
Obvious exits: none |
In the Common language, it reads: If ya want to COMPETE, just ASK the REFEREE about it. For ya visitors that haven't done this before, here's how it works: First ya GET yerself a CABER and walk it upright. Then ya gotta KNEEL, get yer hands under it and RAISE yer CABER. Next, ya PUSH yer CABER away from yer chest and try ta balance it. Ya can LOOK at yer CABER ta see its position. If it don't look like it's straight, ya can LEAN yer CABER ta shift its position. Finally, when yer ready, just TOSS yer CABER and hope for the best!
