Scores

Event five and the games as a whole have concluded. Cobra won Secret 'Ssassin, with Viper in second and Scorpion in third. It was a mad event that proceeded very swiftly. The playing area didn't even need narrowing down as the action continued right up till the end. This leaves Viper as overall winners of the House Games, they trailed Black Widow all the way and then struck in the final round. Thanks to everybody who took part and all the help and advice I received along the way. Thanks also to the AM Daily for sponsoring the event despite my mad spending spree on contracts. Full details of all the events are available below the table.

15 house points were awarded to Viper for winning the games. Black Widow and Cobra earned 10 a piece. Scorpion earned 5. After adding this to the running totals for the year, this gives the house point totals at the end of the games as :

V 17 - BW 16 - C 13 - S 12 - TF 3 - R 0

Event 1 - Quiz

Despite the scores announced on the night, after re-reading my own rules it seems that it should be 5 points per round (1 for second place) and not for the whole contest.

Positions remain unchanged for the top two (Black Widow then Viper) but rather than a four way tie for third we now have Cobra in third and Tree Frog in fourth with Raven and Scorpion yet to score

Event 2 - Scavenger Hunt

Black Widow arrived first with all ten items correct. Viper came in second and also had a full set. Scorpion arrived third but only achieved nine and a half of the ten items as they brought a glass of wine and not a bottle. After repeated requests over the talker it was determined that no other houses were still attempting the hunt, so Scorpion place third.

Event 3 - Inhumation Challenge

Dane closed Shambles (Cobra)
Sciante closed Elistan (Scorpion)
Sleffie closed Perseus (Viper)
Dane closed Sleeter (Cobra)
Sciante closed Moondog (Scorpion)
***Injury Time was called and the one hour time limit was removed as people were keen to finish all of the contracts*** (Jane was dead at the time but not inhumed yet)
Sciante closed Jane (Scorpion)
Kitiana closed Sined (Black Widow)

Event 4 - Hide and Seek

Erianthe won the graduate section of the contest for Black Widow.
Antoine won the student section of the contest for Viper.

Even though Antoine was the only student to turn up, the rules state that "The last student to be discovered earns their house 15 points." and Antoine was definitely the last student found. These points earned by Antoine could be crucial and leave Viper in easy reach of a contest win. The final event will decide it all.

Event 5 - Secret 'Ssassin

1st Dane - Cobra - 20 points
2nd Exagh - Viper - 10 points
3rd - Sciante - Scorpion - 5 points
