~OOC Rules~

1d20 dice used. Each contestant in the contest rolls for placement with the 1d100. Roll of die is done before text entry of action/words so you know what is cast and can role play it accordingly. Be creative. Example text for dice //roll-dice1-sides20 (or 100) or use keyword: dice roller.

First Mile - 4+ to manage the normal flowing waters, less than you have run into too shallow waters or got stuck on a sandbar. A 1d10 use for a save, needing a 4+ to be successful.

Second Mile - 6+ to manage the faster flowing waters, less than you have run into the shore or got stuck on rocks. A 1d10 use for a save, needing a 5+ to be successful.

Third Mile - 8+ to manage the widening rapid waters, less than you have capsized, run into the shore or got stuck on rocks. A 1d10 use for a save, needing a 6+ to be successful.

Fourth Mile - 12+ to manage the turbulent waters, less than you have been capsized, or smashed against the rocks. A 1d10 use for a save, needing a 7+ to be successful.

Fifth Mile - 14+ 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 1d10 use for a save, needing a 8+ to be successful. If successful, the rapids smooth out feeding into the Crystal Gold lake area. In the case of more than one making it to the end, winner will be determined by the highest rolled die. If they are equal then a roll off will commence of race into the Crystal Gold Lake's finish line until one rolls higher.

Note: If the dice required is not met and the save not met, then that person is out of 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!
