Try Not to Die!! [Tuesday, May 10, 3rd period]

[sith_happened]

Today, Anakin was a little bit grateful for the cloak he habitually wore as he waited for his class to arrive outside on the border between Fandom and the Viking village. It was a little chilly for a guy who grew up in the desert.

"The island has given us too great an opportunity to ignore today in this course," Anakin told them as his robe flapped occasionally in the breeze in front of a sturdy little clue box. "You will have to complete two tasks today that will hopefully teach you a little bit more about the Vikings and their traditions. Try not to die!"

With that he stepped out of the way of the clue box.

[OOC: You'll need the OCD. Please hold! Go go go!]

Like it's beginning to dawn on you that your instructor might be a crazy person.

Detour: Weaving or Waving

[sith_happened]

Pick one of the these two tasks, where you will learn about traditional Viking activities. When you complete them, you will earn your next clue.

Road Block!

Everyone's clue will lead them back to the docks of Fandom, where there will find enough rowboats to take them to the Isle of Ikea. Once there, you must complete a Billy bookcase without instructions. When you're finished, an Ikea salesperson will hand you the final clue, which tells you to make your way back (via rowboat, again. Anakin believes in a lot of exercise) to the Viking village where he's waiting for you. First one back wins this day's prize!

Check in with Anakin!

He'll reiterate what the RNG has decided below congratulate you on completing your first class and not dying!

If you won today, you get to wear a genuine Viking hat for the rest of the day, should you choose. It's quite fetching.

Ask Tahiri or Anakin for help!

If you get stuck anywhere, lose an oar or manage to really piss of a Viking...

6. Cassidy
7. Squall Leonhart
8. Sam LaCroix

As on the Amazing Race, if your character gets frustrated with the first Detour task they chose, they are allowed to switch, but this will cost you time. You have to row the boats yourself (no flying to and from, for example) or you will again be slapped with another time penalty. This is mostly for your own information if you want to play with the narrative of how the RNGs results happened. Mostly, though, have fun with this!
