‘Avin a Good Time is a series here on Spent Glory where we drop the serious competitive approach, skip the idea of helping new players, and ignore altogether anything useful to the community and instead just have ourselves a good time. Gurzag and the Boyz approve, and so should you.

Today we’re back to ‘Avin a Good Time on Spent Glory. Inspired by the Paris Summer Olympics, the Underworlds Underground (the show is now on Spotify!) crew nominated stormcast to compete in a variety of events, provided their justifications, and then you, the community, voted. Let’s see who came out on top!

Marathon

First: Sleek (Thomas)
Second: Sanson Farstrider (Mike)
Third: Drakan Celestus (Other Mike)

Honorable Mentions:
– Leona would absolutely fly it. Can she even get tired while flying?
– If animals have rights, Taros would surely destroy the competition. He would not have to worry about overtaking others either.

100 Meter Hurdles

First: Luxa Stormrider (Other Mike)
Second: Leona Stratosi (Mike)
Third: Aphus the Brave (Thomas)

Honorable Mentions:
– Taros – if Sleek counts, so should the bird!
– Dogs are good at jumping right so Sleek has got to be gold right? Sleek’s got that spring in his step.

Wrestling

First: Brodus Blightbane (Thomas)
Second: Domitan, Eye of the Storm (Other Mike)
Third: Almeric Eagle-Eye (Mike)

Honorable Mentions:
– Dhoraz and Obryn are chonk

Boxing

First: Gwynne Ironsoul (Thomas)
Second: Dhoraz Giant-Fell (Mike)
Third: Sarpon, the Cyclone (Other Mike)

Honorable Mentions:
– Aphus the brave
– Steelheart

Fencing

First: Severin Steelheart (Thomas)
Second: Elias Swiftblade (Other Mike)
Third: Calthia Xandire (Mike)

Honorable Mentions:
– Averon Stormsire

Archery

First: Luxa Stormrider (Mike)
Second: Mellisan Star-Sighted (Thomas)
Third: Almeric Eagle-Eye (Other Mike)

Honorable Mentions:
– Farstrider has natural range 4 when inspired so I think he would get silver over Eagle-Eye. With farsighted he gets range 5.

Discus
This one was incredibly close, with all three getting the same number of Gold votes.

First: Domitan, Eye of the Storm (Thomas)
Second: Sarpon, The Cyclone (Other Mike)
Third: Obryn the Bold (Mike)

Honorable Mentions:

Weightlifting
This one was also close, with Obryn and Brodus both tied on Gold, Silver, and Bronze votes. As Thomas said, you know they’re just pumped cheering for each other and like he predicted, they both win.

First – Tie: Obryn and Brodus (Mike and Thomas)
Third: Severin Steelheart (Other Mike)

Honorable Mentions:

Gymnastics (Floor Routine)

First: Leona Stratosi (Thomas)
Second: Mellisan Star-Sighted (Mike)
