Winner is the Barbarian's team Next up was a jump competition between the Warlock's Mezzoloth and the Golem's Wyvern. Jumping across progressively farther pits in a desert so there was no running starts. The Mezzoloth made it's first jump but failed the second and fell, the Wyvern had no problems. Winner, the Fiendish Incarnate Stone Golem's teamNext was a Climb test for the Shifter's Tendriculous and the Gnome's Chraal. Climbing a 100' rough cliff in Pandemonium with 50mph winds coming at you from a different direction each round. The Chraal never makes it higher than 20' of the ground while the huge plant makes short work of the climb. Winner, the Shifter's teamLast is a run til you puke test on the Plains of Gehenna in 140 degree heat, between the Elven's Bralani and the Dragon Shaman's Girrallon. Both creatures make it fifteen minutes of running before the Bralani fails a constitution roll and pukes. Interestingly though, the Girrallon would've only survived another round anyway before it would have succumbed to the real damage of heat. Winner Dragon Shaman's team.The Arrow Demon's creature did not need to compete so won by default.My next post will focus on Rounds 3 (The Running Man portion) and 4 (Battle Royal), and comments and observations on how to improve this should I run it again.</blockquote>
