- Upon completion of the challenge, competitors may roll a D10 to determine the amount of their prize.
FUN HISTORICAL FACTS! In Old World folklore, Elfshot or elf–shot is believed to be caused by invisible elves shooting invisible arrows at a person or animal, causing sudden shooting pains localised to a particular area of the body. The prevention or curing of elfshot comes from using a charm against the sudden stitch; the three plants used in the cure are feverfew, red nettles and waybread. All have vaguely spear-shaped leaves, which may have suggested their use as a remedy for pains attributed to elf-arrows.
