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.
