[So the past few days in the Bastion have been very hectic and a little more than emotionally stressful for everyone. About two days have come and gone since the last very large batch of arrivals have come in to the Bastion, and thankfully since then it's been relatively quiet. It's a good time to compress, meet some new people and maybe have some good food at the distillery courtesy of Rin.]

Archery is fun!

Makes sense. Right now, I think the straw is being kept over for the cows, but I can see what I can do with shards.

[ The knight pauses at that. Shards. Duke probably could have gotten nice targets with shards. ]

Maybe these in shapes like some of the monsters we find - Gasfella's are somewhat humanoid, so they work for this.

[ Angles also make sense. As for moving... ]

There's Nathaniel we can ask - he's an engineer of some sort, as is.. Colin. All that comes to mind is ... a clothes line with a pulley, but that would just go back and forth.

it is!

Yeah, I like the idea of making targets shaped like the monsters around here. [ She tapped a finger against her chin in contemplation. ] And maybe adding metal to show what parts are impervious to attack. My friends and I had a lot of trouble with a Lunkhead when we arrived.

[ Colin and Nathaniel. Neither of those names were familiar to Viola. ] A clothesline with a pulley, though, would be good for moving targets as well, especially for folks just starting out. [ She chewed her lower lip. ] I was thinking of something sort of like a cannon to shoot other stuff into the air, except not as strong or else we'll never even see the targets.

[notduchess]

.... Something really simple that is like a cannon would just be take a plank, a cylinder, and put whatever you want to toss up on the other side. Then you step on the raised edge and hopefully the stuff goes up and not in your face.

So that would be like... [ As she spoke, she motioned with her hands to help herself visualize what was being described. ]

Oh, like a see-saw! [ Viola beamed, pleased by her powers of deduction. ] That could work! Maybe we could get one of those engineers you mentioned to figure out the right angle for something like that.
