OOC: Alright, this RP is completely Open, to trainees and Tower Guards and Warders. :) This RP'll be open for at least 2 weeks.

 

IC: Arath woke up with a smile; he had been planning today for a while, but it had been far too dry. Last night, however, it had poured all night. Arath whistled as he got out of bed, and went outside with a spring in his step, and all the supplies he would need. It was pretty early, but plenty of people were outside doing their own things. Arath found a good sized stick and got to work. The first thing he did was find a muddy section of the ground. It wasn't too hard, considering the recent rain. Then he stuck sticks into the ground at various intervals and tied ropes a few hands above the pit. Next, he drew lines to the next obstacle, so that the participants would know where to go.

 

The next thing they would have to overcome was a wall. It was a seamless wall that was was about all tall as one tall man standing on another tall man's shoulders. The only way for the muddy people to climb up were the ropes hanging down from the wall. (More than one rope because there would probably be more than one person at the wall at one time.) After they bested the wall, challengers would follow the course to a small lake, where they would have to swim across. The obstacles weren't very far apart, so it wasn't too hard to work it all out. Next, Arath took his stick and drew: "Obstacle Course!", and arrows leading to the start, all over the Yards.

 

When he had gotten a decently sized crowd (some from the arrows and some had wondered what he was doing) Arath cleared his throat and began his announcement. "Hello everyone! Trainees, Guards, Warders, all of you are welcome to challenge yourselves on my obstacle course! First you need to crawl underneath ropes through a mud pit, and then climb over the training wall, with only one rope to help you, and then follow the course until you come across a lake, that you will of course have to swim across, and finally make it across the finish line. It seems pretty easy, right? Well, the catch is that you're going through the course... with your legs tied together! The winner, in addition to getting a prize that you'll find out about at the end, will get the right to brag about winning a competition that has nothing to do with weapon skill! Trainees, if you win then you can say that you beat even Warders, and so on.

 

"Anyone who's interested can come get a piece of rope to tie your legs with, and line up at the start line." He waited until everyone who looked like they were going to compete got ready, and then lined up with everyone else (he would be participating, of course). "Ready... set... go!"

 

OOC: Alright, like I said in the beginning, this will be open for two weeks. I want to have at least four people by the end of the two weeks. All you have to do is post competing, or if you want you can post just watching. :) At the end I'll post doing the obstacle course and flip a coin or something to determine the winner.
