Brilliant game. Just...brilliant. Jeez.

Penny was mostly guessing the last bit because she didn't remember reading about how the game ended...

She was too busy thinking about NOT looking back at the teacher, to actually listen to him. Something about 'Sorry Ellie'. That's okay, Vindictus. She didn't mind. Heh.

But, perhaps she would get the next question? "There're a hundred rocks that fall from a hundred feet above you. And you have a cauldron on your head, and the goal is to catch as many falling rocks as you can."

Why anyone ever did it is beyond me. To play a game that can permenately altar you're scull and mentality, well they must be pretty stupid to begin with. It is a great thing that the game was outlawed even though it never should have been played in the first place.", Chloe responded with her hand raised high.

"It's about dropping stones in cauldrons strapped on the player's heads... It's brutal."

"The players were flew in a broomstick and a cauldron strapped to their hat. Then hundred of rock began to fall from hundred feet above the ground. The players had to catch as many rock as they can into their cauldron." she finished and lowered her hand.

With a low voice, Aiden answers. "A cauldron is strapped on each player's head. The rocks are first enchanted to float hundreds feets off the ground," she pauses to think. Perhaps they use the Levitation Charm. "Then they've to fly around the field and catch as many rocks as possible into the cauldrons," she finally finishes her explanation, shuddering. No wonder the game's name means "Wounded Head".

The players then zoom around the field, trying to catch as many rocks in their cauldrons as possible.' And that was all she knew.

"Professor, in the game of Creaothceann, the players will use a broomstick and a cauldron strapped to their head to catch a hundred rocks that fall from the ground." Was that right? She hoped so.

'They have to strap a cauldron to their head and catch the falling rocks from the mountain on their Broomsticks!' Rose said. Nothing in the World could make her do that... Apart from a really cool prize...

She remembered her Uncle Ben telling her about different games.. she tried to recall them. Ah, right! She raised her hand and said, "Sir, Creaothceann is a Scottish broom game where the players have a broomstick and a cauldron strapped to their head.." she tried hard to remember, "And, yah, hundred rocks are charmed to float considerably high above the ground and they began to fall to the ground." she paused. How horrible. "The players then zoom around the field, trying to catch as many rocks in their cauldrons as possible." she finished. Now with a little scowl on her face.

They fly under a hundred rocks charmed to float a hundred feet above ground and try to catch as many rocks as they can as the rocks fall." Yeah, it was definitely a barbaric game.

She thought for a bit before saying anything else, "There are about 12 players too I think." She wished at that moment that she had not said a thing it sounded a bit stupid, but she had never really heard of the word, so she expected that her answer would sound at least a bit silly, she hoped that she was right anyway.

Maybe.

...but anyway, Sierra was usually in a good mood during this class, because broom games was something she happened to know a lot about. Having Alexander Greingoth for a father would do that to a person. She smiled at the thought and raised her hand, "The players had these huge cauldrons attached to their heads, and their goal was to catch in them as many charmed boulders as they could," she explained. "Oh, and the boulders had been charmed to hover in the air ahead of time, so they were pretty much pouring down on the players."

With something on their backs. I think it's a container made of dragon hide and dragon horn." He speculated on that last part. Dragon hide and horn were strong materials capable of holding some rocks, but it could be something else. "And then, if any of the rocks are pogrebins, the players get extra points." He nodded as he concluded his explanation.

Vindictus laughed heartily at each of the descriptions of the game. "I enjoyed all of your answers, so three points to each of you. Creaothceann was a brutal game."

He clapped his hands and rubbed them together. There was a mischievous twinkle in his blue eyes.

"Does anyone know the name of the Irish game that Fingal the Fearless is alleged to have been a champion of?"
