Nicki, yeah I think it will be fun. Just let me know what you come up with. We want to try to induce some chance and friend / foe at each station to make it more interesting. Keep that in mind when you are designing.

I love the theme, Jay. 

It offers great room for creativity. 

Right now, I'm thinking something with magic missals (lollypops) and not sure of the creature yet.

M'Lord Barre, 

My suspicion about the shafts is that they are probably all about the 
same length, but were arranged in sort of a "cascade" effect by the 
painter for ease of execution, or to better show that they are arrows. 
Fletches all bunched together might be a painters mess. 

I'm not sure about helical fletch. Possible, but I can see that well 
anymore. 

Yours Aye,
