Title: A wizardly archery game
Post by: WhistlingBadger on March 27, 2020, 08:16:34 pm
The Badgerling (my ten year old daughter) and I have been shooting a lot of arrows lately.  We find ourselves with an unusual amount of time on our hands, and she's pushing for a new bow, a purple longbow to be exact, so I told her if she shot every day with me for a week I'd think about it.  Anyway, We have a long tradition of making a target face of whatever critter she's sort of freaked out by (when she was younger) or whatever book villain is currently creeping her out a bit. It's very empowering, shooting the daylights out of something that scares you.

So, we decided it would be fun to make a Voldemort Target. Here's the target:  The dark lord himself, surrounded by his horcruxes.

The game is simple:  We have to bullseye each of the horcruxes (called shots only, no slop) before we can take down You Know Who.

Badgerling scored the first hit:  A perfect head shot on Nagini.

I took down Tom Riddle's diary next, having first dipped my bodkin in basilisk venom.

We each got a piece of Gaunt's Ring...

But we're having the DARNDEST time hitting Slytherin's locket.  Almost like the blasted thing is cursed or something.

Hope you're all safe and doing what you must to stay sane.  We're going to get through this!  😉

Well, this is a wizard's shoot, after all!  You need a counterspel lot break the curse!  Or maybe a silver or oak arrow with a silver point >:D >:D >:D >:D!  Great game, and the Badgerling is getting good practice and Dad bonding time!
