Wandering further, he finds himself at the edge of the tournament field, where he finds a few people suited in armor and practicing against one another for the upcoming battle. As a result of his visit to the SCA event, he has seen and discovered several hobbies he can pursue. Attending events in themselves, the researching the historical period and costumes, is one hobby. He may decide to try his skills on the battlefield wearing armor and fighting or designing and making of armor and weapons. He may already have another hobby, such as leather working that he can adapt and apply to this new venture. In contrast though, over indulgence in a hobby can lead to adverse consequences. “Everyone should have an outlet and a special interest that they enjoy doing for themselves. Self indulgence, to a point, is quite healthy.” (Summers, 2010) On the other hand, if the hobby is very expensive, you could wind up in debt or unable to pay your bills from aggressively pursuing this hobby. At this point, you would need to reevaluate how much and how often you can afford to do this activity, then scale back until it is

Now that they'd arrived, purposes spiked off in a many-fold pattern. Many of them were eager to find company in the like-minded Salsolan traders, but Osrath's interests differed. Following an evening of reports and tales of the damage, she maundered amongst the wreckage left behind by the wind and

Six wrestling mats mantled the floors, three in each of the two gymnasiums. A battle was being fought on every one, each and every soldier using all of the weapons in his arsenal. The hands of the victors were raised while the heads of the defeated drooped. The bleachers were packed with spectators. In the thin corridor that separated the two gymnasiums, people shuffled through, walking, talking, and laughing. Wrestlers occupied the indoor track that encircled the upper floor of the gymnasiums. Awaiting their next battle, the warriors prepared their minds and bodies.
Running, eating, cooking, reading, there are countless of different hobbies to choose. Some of them may seem useless in a way, trainspotting for instance. Even addiction to drugs is trivial to me, and the characters’ lives do not attract me.

There was plenty to look at, for both of them. Itharas quickly found a stall selling unique -- and largely useless -- enchanting recipes. Arindrel perused the wares of a merchant peddling scribe's tools. She was quietly pondering the wisdom of spending her last few tokens to purchase an ornate writing quill when she caught sight of Itharas talking to a human merchant nearby. She clucked her tongue and replaced the quill on its display, resolving to come back for it if she still had a
