: Two Tribes Go To War
Tuesday
7th January 2020
The
two tribes faced each other, tomahawks at
the ready. Dastardly Don’s BOOTboy
Braves had been challenged by Tony Triumph
and his Fugawi Tribe. Fortunately
we were spared their war chant about who
they were. Or was it where they were?
Before
hostilities began, the tribes gathered at
the Outdoor Adventure Company’s teepee. Hot
Air Martin was amused to see that featured
on the wall was a picture of his very own
High Adventure balloon.
Some
went to reconnoitre the territory but were
rather alarmed to find a plane that had
seemingly been brought down by a volley
of arrows.
Peace
didn’t last for long. Soon we were
out in the open receiving expert coaching
from Ryan and Kelly about the best way to
throw a tomahawk for it to stick in the
body of your target.
Each
brave from each tribe would throw nine tomahawks
to complete a round. The scoring system
was quite simple but I will pass over the
detail- we left it to the injundicators
to call out the totals. Only
the best four individual scores from each
round would count for the tribe’s total,
which is just as well as I proved to one
of the least competent.
The
Fugawis won the first three rounds but the
honour of the BbBs was rescued by Dead Eye
Pete with an outstanding accomplishment in
the fourth. It didn’t stop the Fugawis
winning but that, plus a solid performance
by Green Man Martin, saved the reputation
of the BOOTboy Braves from being devastated.
Let the record show that the Fugawis
outscored the BbBs by 389 points to 348.
Dead
Eye Pete inevitably took the prize for being
the ace axeman, ahead of Hot Air Martin
and Wigwam Graham.
This
was followed by the individual chuck out.
One axe in the board got you through
to the second round. Two axes to the
third round in which three axes in the board
were required. It was then that Killing
Town John, who had been the laggard in the
tribal challenge, found his throwing arm.
However, at the last gasp he was out-axed
by Hot Air Martin.
Hostilities
over, the tribes retreated to the Punchbowl
where the law now prohibits the smoking
of the pipe of peace. Nevertheless, joined
by palefaces Philip, Robin and Stan, a perfectly
pally pow-wow ensued.
