They act on thought and instinct, but have a little momentum, so one can jump somewhat on them and the soarsled will compensate. Advanced users, or so it is said, might even fly upside-down for a period of time. He also gives everyone a map of the five locations that must be found. They must be found in order and with the team: Some combination of the speed of the first and last member of the team is recorded. Other than that, and a ban on direct combat, there are no other rules of the race. There will be judges as various points to keep an eye on proceedings.[sblock=Insight 12]What isn't said is imporant: Anything the judges don't see or don't notice is fair game.[/sblock]Once everyone is on their sleds, Lord Staforth raises a wand. Let the Race of the Five Horns commence!Stage 1: The Soarsled RaceA daring race between towers, through treacherous bridges, and past relentless foes!This is a skill challenge (the first of many). Each stage is a Complexity 1 skill challenge (requiring 4 successes before 3 failures) where the ratio of success/failure determines placing in the race (so failing a challenge doesn't mean the race is over). Feel free to post in any order, but only once per round (you'll have to wait until everyone else has posted before posting again). I'll handling posts in the order received, so any bonus accrued by one PC will apply to the next PC that goes. Use IC chat/OOC notes to strategize.Primary SkillsAcrobatics Examples: Narrowly pass through a section of ropes, dodge between other competitors. Athletics Examples: Ram another opponent, break through some blockage, etc.Streetwise Examples: Note an alternate path or shortcut.Secondary SkillsIf you can figure out a good use, I'll generally allow one use of a skill either for a bonus or a success. Some example (which may or may not be only used once).Arcana Example: Do something to the sled.Bluff or Intimidate Several uses.Perception See something that may help.Due to his successes scouting, Ryk may at any time gain one success during this race if he so chooses (this boon may also be useful later, but can only be used once).On your mark, set, go!</blockquote>
