	<span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong><span style="font-size:28px;"><em><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><u>The Game of Darts</u></span></em></span></strong></span>
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	<span style="color:#bdc3c7;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><em><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Written by Sovereign Gail Cordius, 1794.</span></em></span></span>
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Although the original invention date of darts is unknown, it is a simple game that became popularized in Talon's Grotto in the mid-1700s, and has since stayed as a staple tavern game of the city, a game of darts being seen at nearly every gathering within the Alley Alehouse. The love for the simplistic nature of the game has been passed down through generations, and the ease of the game has led to it being a popular choice in gambling within the city. While gambling, players typically decide on an amount of minas to each add to a pot, the victor of the game taking the entire sum.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#e74c3c;"><u><em><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Game Setup</span></em></u></span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">The game of darts requires a circular board that is painted or carved with increasingly smaller rings around a central point-- On a typical dart board, the number is rings is three. The nearer to the center of the board these rings are, the smaller they become. In the middle of the board there is always a small circle, no larger than an inch in diameter, that acts as the bullseye-- the target that the players are aiming for.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Alongside needing a dart board, players require darts. Darts are light metal objects that are typically around seven inches in length. On the end of the dart meant to be thrown towards the board, there is a fine and sharp metal tip, while on the opposite end, there is fletching much like the type found in arrows.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="color:#e74c3c;"><em><u>Playing Darts</u></em></span></span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Determine the turn order by having each of the players draw a straw, with the player with the longest straw going first. Darts is typically played in three rounds per game, and each round, the players are all given a single dart. Players will step up to a line that is five meters from the front of the dart board, and in the order of their turns, will throw their darts at the board, with their goal being to hit the bullseye, or as close to bullseye as possible, and have the dart stick. After the scores of the first round are recorded, the players will gather the darts from the board and restart the procedure, moving to the second round and maintaining the turn order determined at the beginning of the game.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">After three rounds are played, the scores are added up and the player with the highest score is deemed the winner. Should there be a tie, the players who tied will throw their darts at the board once more. The player who hits the closest to the center of the board will win the tiebreaker-- the rings do not matter in tiebreaker rounds, only the proximity to the center of the board. If you are unable to tell which dart is closest to the center of the board (typically due to there being an equal difference between the bullseye and the darts), players will repeat the tiebreaker until one wins it.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="color:#e74c3c;"><em><u>Keeping Score</u></em></span></span></span>
</p>

<ul><li>
		<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">If a player hits the first (outer) ring of the dart board, they are awarded one (1) point.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">If a player hits the second ring of the dart board, they are awarded two (2) points.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">If a player hits the third (innermost) ring of the dart board, they are awarded three (3) points.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">If a player hits the bullseye, they are awarded five (5) points.</span></span>
	</li>
</ul><p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="color:#e74c3c;"><u><em>OOC Mechanics</em></u></span></span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Players roll 1d20. The player who rolls the highest is the first to go. When it is a player's turn, they roll a 1d20, and where their dart hit is determined by the roll.</span></span>
</p>

<ul><li>
		<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">(1) - The player completely misses the board.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">(2-9) - The player hits the first (outer) ring.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">(10-15) - The player hits the second ring.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">(16-19) - The player hits the third (innermost) ring.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">(20) - The player hits the bullseye.</span></span>
	</li>
</ul><p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">For example, if a player rolls an 11, their character will hit the second ring of the dart board, and get two (2) points in that round. </span></span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">When the game ends, the player with the highest score wins. If there is a tie between the scores, the tied players will all roll 1d20 again. Whoever gets the highest number out of twenty will be determined the winner. If the players tie on a tiebreaker round, they will continue to roll until one player gets the higher number.</span></span>
