D6 or D8 Event Sign Up- Wilderness Race (weather permitting)

[Hisomu Susumu]

Hisoumu Susumu has suggested a challenge to test the stamina and woodland savvy of the contestants.

This is the Way

The first step of the race is figuring out the ideal path to take. The racers must pass through multiple checkpoints before returning to the castle, with path unspecified. Is the direct path best, or will detours over steadier ground allow you to travel faster. Players must make a Hunting (Trailblazing)/Perception roll at TN 15. Success means that you find a solid course to take, putting you on a steady path. For each raise called on a successful roll, the character gains a free raise they may use later in the event.

My What Sharp Teeth You Have

The wilderness always holds dangers, even as settlement has begun to creep outwards. The countryside is home to plenty of predators, and a lone tired racer may look like an excellent snack. Defending yourself could be as simple as figuring out a way around, or it might be hands on steel., but snap judgements. Characters must roll Defense/Reflexes at TN 15. On a successful roll, the player gains a free raise to use later in the event, plus one for each raise. Failure with called raised raises means that characters are beset by predators. While not hurt, players lose time defending themselves and take a (-2) penalty on their final roll per called raise.

One Foot in Front of the Other

Most of all, the biggest challenge of all is the ability to keep running in face of such a challenge, withstanding the relentless barrage of aches and exhaustion. Runners are encouraged to make their own pace, and the achievement of the challenge itself is enough. Characters must roll Athletics (Running)/ Stamina at TN 15. Success grants one Race Point, plus one for every raise. Failure results in the loss of a Race Point per each raise called.

____

The participants are ranked by their point order. First place will net a favor from Susumu when it comes to accessing information from the Spider archives. The top three will win bottles of sake or soju (furnished by Susumu) and bragging rights will be yours in any question of physical endurance and woodland savvy.

[Hantei Kinsen]

Count Kinsen in!

[Chai Kotsume]

Ohhh this is nice! Kotsume is most likely joining

[Togashi Satsuki]

Does this need a sign up, in terms of pairing people up/assigning matches?

[Kuu]

Kuu may or may not participate. Wilderness is not his thing, but he does like being physically active. But I'm leaning towards yes.

[Akodo Moshi]

Sounds like a fun time, let's hope the weather permits it

[Jiyo Sora]

Old Man Sora is IN.

[Hisomu Susumu]

Does this need a sign up, in terms of pairing people up/assigning matches?

Nope! More of getting an initial head count and letting people know.

I suppose that if you want, you could compete against another person and go head to head in each stage. It would have no mechanical effect, but you can rub your win in their face!

[Doji Tsubaki]

Which timeslot would this be (weather permitting of course)?

Which timeslot would this be (weather permitting of course)?

I'd shoot for LM or EA
