The Race
Swamp Squelch
This is a ground course through a swamp! Flying is not allowed. This is also an interactive race!
There are 10 spots open for this race.
Special Rules
This race will run much slower than usual, because I am hoping everyone will be around, rounds will take as long as it takes for people to write their responses, and for me to finish up the round.
So what do you have to do? Each round, you can choose a movement type for your Samanayr:
- Easy (slow movement of either 1,2,3 but with a +5 bonus to any obstacles your Samanayr comes across during this round, +1 endurance for future obstacles)
- Normal (default movement, movement from 1-6 with no bonuses or disadvantages)
- Hard(fast movement of either 4,5,6 but with -5 bonus to any obstacles your Samanayr comes across during this round, small chance of tripping/no movement)
So how do you choose how to race? It’s easy, just post your movement type in bold. You can get as “in-character” as you like, here are some example responses:
"easy"
"Race of the Racing Racer takes it easy this round"
"Race looked around at the other Samanayrs running their fastest and decided she would take it easy, slow and steady wins the race. Besides, this way she could watch and learn from their mistakes"
If you have to leave during the race, don’t despair. Your Samanayr can still race, it will just default to the normal movement role, working exactly like a normal race would. You can jump back in in at any point.
However, if you can, please let me know you won’t be around for a bit so we can continue the race without waiting for your response.
- Depending on your movement type, you can receive either a +5, -5, or 0 bonus for obstacles you come across on your turn.
- If you have endurance saved up from previous rounds of slow movement, each point will give you a +1 to get over an obstacle. If the endurance points are needed to get over the obstacle, they will be used up; otherwise, they are saved for the next obstacle.
- If stuck at an obstacle(i.e were unable to pass on the round before), you may write up a little response if you’d like. This is NOT required, but you may receive a few bonus points for getting past the obstacle that turn.
