Map Key:

Black rectangle is the Grease.

Green spread is the Obscuring Mist.

A1 - The Swim - 40-foot water-filled gap. The flag is 20 feet below the surface of the water in the center of the gap.

A2 - The Stump Walk - Stone columns, each slightly taller than the next, jut up from the water here, forming a sort of stairway to the next level. The flag is tied to the northernmost column.

A3 - The Net Climb - A net is draped over this 20-foot-tall cliff face. The flag is located atop a 20-foot-tall pole at the top of the net.

A4 - The Balance Beams - Two beams run across a long gap that is 20 feet above the water. One is a 40-foot-long, 8-inch-wide beam, and the other a 25-foot-long, 4–inch-wide beam. The flag is tied to a revolving pole that runs between the two bars.

A5 - The Rope Swing - A pair of knotted ropes are secured above this 15-foot gap. The flag hangs slightly below the bottom of the arcs of the ropes.

A6 - The Dummy Gauntlet - An array of spinning, wooden dummies crowd this 30-foot stretch of the course. The flag is lashed to the central dummy.

The Creature Flag - In addition to the six obstacle flags, a different creature carries a seventh flag every year, wandering the course to harry or hide from competitors. This year’s creature is Skagit, the bat familiar of one of the event organizers.

Ro-Mahn left Stabem to fend for himself against Skagit. He moved across the peninsula and the surface of the water toward the Rope Swing obstacle and began to climb up the cliff face. Stabem swatted at the bat and made a grab for the flag it carried. To the surprise of both the bat and the halfling, the rogue ended up with the flag in his hand and managed to hold onto the cliff face. Stabem tucked the flag in his belt in preparation for more climbing.

Barnacleez races across the surface of the water. Cando grabbed the flag and continued to swim toward the other side. Lady Emyralda followed after Ro-Mahn and the Rope Swing obstacle.

Gerherd moved to the cliff below Stabem and tried to steal the flag from the halfling. Stabem barely fended off the dwarf and retained the flag. Having lost the flag, Skagit abandoned Stabem and moved on to hassle Ro-Mahn. The familiar took its position and fluttered in the face of the ranger/rogue. Hetty and Gazebelle remained invisible and undetected.

Wahesh swam to the dry land of the other peninsula.

Mavin attempted to climb out of the patch of grease but again was unable to find secure purchase even with her oddly long arms. Erna swam to the cliff face and began climbing again with incredible speed. The dwarf made it to the opposite peninsula.

Lou G’Boo nimbly hopped the steps and grabbed the Stump Walk flag.

Targrenon deftly and acrobatically maneuvered through the Dummy Gauntlet and retrieved the flag.

Ro-Mahn tried to steal the flag from Skagit, the Bat, but the wily familiar managed to stay out of his grasp. Stabem tried to grab the bat but also missed gaining ahold of the creature. The halfling did maintain his grip amidst the wing buffeting.

Barnacleez climbed sputtering from of the water and drew a scroll. The gnome cast a Grease spell on the cliff face where Erna Stoneheart and Mavin Marbeket were climbing. The gnome maintained her hold but the dwarf plunged into the water below.

Cando swam down toward the flag and covering the remaining distance. Lady Emyralda cast a Water Walk spell and stepped between Ro-Mahn and Barnacleez, touching her friends and bestowing the spell’s benefits.

Gerherd Roderson stepped back and defensively cast an Obscuring Mist spell which covered most of the peninsula. Skagit continued to harry Stabem. Hetty Skree and Gazebelle the Green remained unseen.

Wahesh pressed forward, swimming past Cando, since the coast appeared clear of opposition.

Mavin Marbeket attempted to use her magical climbing ability to traverse the greasy patch. The gnome tried to make progress but it was all that she could do to hang on. Erna Stoneheart sputtered in the water trying to keep her head above the water and grab the cliff wall for stability.

Lou G’Boo jump off of the cliff and scampered up the first six “steps”.

Targrenon Raedad continued to climb the cliff vertically, avoiding the grease and emerged from the mist near the start of the Dummy Gauntlet.

The starting whistle sounded and most of the party got a jump on the competition.

Ro-Mahn moved close to the Skagit, the Bat, and attempted to bargain with the beast. "Oh, clever Skagit? May I have that bauble please?" The bat stared back with intelligent eyes, maybe not understanding the words but seeming to hear the human’s body language. Despite this, the familiar kept its distance and held onto the flag.

Looking ahead, left and right, Stabem made a direct path to the inner cliff wall and began to climb along its vertical surface. Barnacleez cast Bull’s Strength upon himself and moved forward to the water’s edge. He took a deep breath and jumped in the water. The gnome sunk like a stone. Cando gave a roar of triumph and charged to the water’s edge. The half-orc made a 15-foot long jump into the water and began swimming downward to the submerged flag. Lady Emyralda cast a Bless spell and moved to the water’s edge.

Gerherd Roderson plodded forward across the starting line. He stopped in front Mavin Marbeket and defensively cast a Cat’s Grace spell upon Targrenon Raedad. Skagit, the Bat, moved to Stabem and flapped its wings in the halfling’s face causing a great distraction for the rogue. Hetty Skree drank a potion and vanished from sight. Gazebelle the Green, also drank a potion and disappeared as well.

Recovering from his hamming it up for the crowd, Wahesh ran forward, took a deep breath and jumped in the water, swimming under the surface toward Cando and the submerged flag.

Mavin Marbeket drank a potion and began climbing the cliff wall. The gnome quickly moved past the distracted Stabem. Erna Stoneheart moved to the cliff face and began to climb the surface horizontally. The dwarf moved with unusual speed and proficiency and quickly passed both the halfling and the gnome.

Lou G’Boo followed his pre-contest instructions and headed toward the cliff face as well. The monkey scaled the rocky face with some effort and crossed most of the gap and took the lead.

Like many others, Targrenon Raedad moved to the cliff and began to climb across the gap.
