In this tournament, Tempest and Turmoil will each throw a javelin.
You will wager whether your throw will be short of theirs, in between theirs,
or fall far from their two throws.

than or equal to the shortest throw, this counts as a win."
EveBreeze summons you near, `b c`"In this contest, 9 players will compete.
You will be allowed to throw the first spear.
After seeing the distance of your throw, you will get the choice
of accepting your first throw, or throwing again.

Each contestant who throws the shortest distance will be
eliminated until only one remains."
