Lightning continues his climb up unabated still completely unconcerned about anything else going around him.

Kalir knows he can't win and all he is doing is stopping himself from falling whilst giving the appearance that he is at least trying. This seems to work as he even manages to make a bit more progress.

Kolto spares a glance down at the others, and is somewhat surprised at how far behind they've fallen. Some quick calculations reveal that there's no way for them to catch him up at this point unless he makes a slip, he slows to a more comfortable pace and continues his way up.

"Oh, cool off! This is what I think of your threats of the sweat box." Suddenly, he is deludged in water.

Jaakali glances up at the leader, and back down to the crowd cheering and jeering them on. While noticing them, he doesn't pay them much heed as he continues his climb.

Tara manages to get her feet back onto semi-stable rope, and after a second to get her bearings, resumes her climb up the rigging...albeit at a slower, much more careful pace.

The female pirate that helped encourage Kalir makes her way over to Reiko. "Are you alright? If you need healing I could provide it for you." she says looking at the minor wounds. "Oh no," she whispers as they hear the boatswain's outburst.

"Why you filthy wench!" Master Scourge growls at Bella. He cracks his whip and starts to advance on her.

"Hold where you are!" Mister Plugg says as he wipes the water from his face and eyes. He steps up to stand beside the boatswain and looks at the defiant look in Bella's eye. "You think that was funny do you? Do you!?"

The rest of the crew grows silent and takes a step back leaving Bella standing alone and the racers forgotten.

"I'll show you how to douse someone!" the first mate says drawing his sword.

With that action the crew truly moves back and those behind Bella flee so as not to be behind her. Standing almost thirty feet from the priestess he points the sword at her and then the rusted blade begins to glow a faint sea foam greenish-blue.

Then before Bella knows what is happening a bolt of water shoots out from the blade and directly at her. The torrent of water hits her hard knocking her back nearly ten feet to the ships railing. As she clings to the wood, drenched and gasping, Mister Plugg turns to the boatswain. "Lock her up in the bilge! We'll punish her tonight as a preamble to Magpie's keel-hauling."

"With pleasure."

The boatswain directs a couple others to help with taking Bella below. (Do you resist?)

Up in the rigging the others are unaware of what is going on below deck. Kolto sees the crows nest less than ten feet from him, his victory almost assured.

[sblock=Race Rules]
Race is a bunch of climb checks. For everyone but Kalir it will take 8 DC 10 climb checks to get to the top. For Kalir it takes 12 DC 10 climb checks.

Anyone may opt to try an accelerated climb and raise their DC to 15. If you do and succeeded I will subtract an additional check from those you need to make.

Everyone needs to roll one check at a time and I will post whose in the lead and such after each round.

NOTE:
- fail by 4 or less = no progress (please post some fluff accordingly)
- fail by 5 or more = you fall - will see about catching yourself depending on where you are.[/sblock]

OCC: Round 5 everyone can go again

Glancing upwards, Nightstorm decides to keep going steady. Who is to say that the race is over when the first person gets to the top?

ghostcat · Jun 4, 2012

Kalir concentrates on his climbing. Then a gust moves the rope he was just about to grab and he starts to tumble towards the deck.

Lightning continues to effortlessly climb, though he is clearly in absolutely no hurry as he does so. Admiring the weather, he even takes the time to speak to those keeping even with him. "A beautiful day for a climb, wouldn't you agree?"
