~Rules~

20 dice used. Those wishing to enter the race and get in the cue, will whisper the Event Runner that night. Roll of die is done before emote so you know what is cast and can roleplay it accordingly. Be creative.

There will be NPC guards along the distance ready to help anyone from the waters needing assistance. Some in boats and some along the shore with ropes and lifesavers.

First Mile:  5+ to manage the normal flowing waters, less than you have run into too shallow waters or got stuck on a sandbar. Dice 10 used for a save, needing a 4+ to be successful.

Second Mile:  8+ to manage the faster flowing waters, less than you have run into the shore or got stuck on rocks. Dice 10 used for a save, needing a 5+ to be successful.

Third Mile:  11+ to manage the widening rapid waters, less than you have capsized, run into the shore or got stuck on rocks. Dice 10 used for a save, needing a 6+ to be successful.

Fourth Mile:  14+ to manage the turbulent waters, less than you have been capsized, or smashed against the rocks. Dice 10 use for a save, needing a 7+ to be successful.

Fifth Mile - 17+ to manage the turbulent waters, less than you have been pulled off course and down another rapid flowing vein with a waterfall dumping  you in a deep pool below.. A Dice 10 use for a save, needing a 8+ to be successful. If successful, the rapids smooth out feeding into the lake below. In the case of more than one making it to the end, winner will be determined by the highest rolled die in a race across the lake (Dice100 used). If they are equal then a roll off will commence between the ones tying.

Note: If the dice required is not met and the save not met, then that person has ended their part in the race.

IF no one completes the course then the one who made it the farthest will receive the Second Prize. The one second closet the third prize.

Good Luck!
