[QUOTE="serow, post: 4178769, member: 50591"] The gong rings, and everybody lunges forward, obviously working hard to prove their worth. Zaeg rushes forward too, the good old hobgoblin blood in him edging him on. However, since adrenaline isn't always enough. The first obstacles already test his limits. He was fit, but obviously not fit enough that he could confidently clear such physical challenges. That also wasn't what he did best in the old days. He grabbed the ropes, trying to climb them. But the rope was too thin (to him). and his feet too big to loop the loop correctly. Zaeg tries again, but his efforts always seem to be rewarded with more frustration. Deciding that enough is enough, Zaeg stretches his arm out towards the bell and roars [color=red]"RING!!!"[/color] The bell rings resoundingly throughout the entire arena. [sblock=Climb][url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1573289/]3 terrible Climb checks at 12, 9, 14.[/url] Zaeg follows it up with [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/controlObject.htm]Control Object[/url] on the bell.[/sblock] Ignoring the stares of the invigilators, Zaeg carries on to the table obstacle. He doesn't really care about being fair, that's not what they taught him during the War for Freedom. No, they taught him [i]We Will Find A Way, Or We Will Make One[/i]. He tries to leap, and falls very short of his target. [sblock=Jump][url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1573294/]Jump check 6[/url] (10 actually, sorry forgot about the +4)[/sblock] Again, he uses his [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/controlObject.htm]innate magics[/url], this time to violently jerk the table. Whether it was dislodged or did it fall off, Zaeg doesn't care. Whether he might be disqualified now, he doesn't care. He continues running on. The hoops are cleared with some effort, unglorious, but now that the end is near, it hardly matters anymore. Zaeg raises the heavy wooden sword and very awkwardly slaps it down onto the dummy, hardly making any proper impact. The dummy almost seems to be mocking Zaeg's efforts. With a final roar [color=red]"RARRR!"[/color], a mix of frustration and release, Zaeg gathers magical energy and unleashes fire upon the dummy.
