Try Not to Die, Tuesday, May 23, 2017

"Welcome to another class," Anakin said, pointing at the now familiar world map. "Today we're going to Estonia, which is an extremely tiny country on this huge land mass that they give two different names for reasons I don't quite understand. Estonia falls into Asia. I think. Maybe Europe. They were involved in Eurovision, but so was Australia and that's its own continent."

Anakin was confusing himself.

"Anyway," he said, shaking his head. "Two tasks in Tallinn. Don't get killed."

Yay, Estonia!

Solve a medieval mystery! Go into the cellar of the Mustpeade Maja and pick up a candelabra with a room number attached to it from a table and then navigate in the dark through the castle basement until they found it. When you found the room, you were given what appeared to be a blank scroll and a crayon. You have to use just that to figure out where you're going next.

Good luck!

[OOC: The trick is to put the scroll up to the candle to read the message written in invisible ink.

You come out of the Roadblock in this order:
1. Rey
2. Kaylin Neya
3. Khadgar
4. Ahsoka Tano
5. Merrill
6. Jason Lee Scott
7. Jyn Erso
8. Hyacinthe
9. FN-2187
10. June Iparis

Once you make your way to the Pikk Hermann Tower Gardens, you have the choice of Serve or Sling! Are you afraid?

It's been three weeks, so probably, huh.

In Serve, you make your way to a volleyball game being played in a bog, where you must score five points against the Estonian national volleyball player you are facing. Getting muddy and gross is completely guaranteed.

In Sling, you put on a super attractive pair of bogshoes and hike out into a different bog. You must use a slingshot to shoot enough vegetables at a target to collapse the table full of cabbages. Anakin would swear this was Very Traditional, but Anakin was lying his ass off.

Unlike you, not covered in mud.

The RNG sayeth:

1. Khadgar
2. Rey
3. June Iparis
4. Merrill
5. Jason Lee Scott
6. Hyacinthe
7. Kaylin Neya
8. Jyn Erso
9. Ahsoka Tano
10. FN-2187

Merrill

Jason Lee Scott

Puzzles and riddles were... not Jason's strong suit, to be honest. So yeah, it took a while for him to figure it out, but at least he wasn't last?

Sure, this time last year Jason had been a star athlete and all... but football and volleyball were completely different sports. So yeah, it took a while to get those five points.

"Ugh," Jason grumbled, running fingers through his curls in an attempt to get some of the mud out.

Figuring out the invisible ink trick was easy. Trying to get through the castle basement workout getting lost, on the other hand, was not going to happen. Because Merrill.

Kaylin Neya

The only reason Kaylin figured out the message was because it wa dark and she heldit up to the candle to see better. Who knew?

The room thing was easy.

Kaylin got into a bit of a literal mud-slinging match with the volleyball player which held her up quite a bit. She didn't quite cause an international incident mostly because the onlookers were enjoying the mess.

Kaylin gave a half-hearted muddy wave towards Anakin which sent a fair amount of mud flying everywhere.

Jyn Erso

"Did you have fun?"

Anakin was the worst.

"Volleyball?" Anakin guessed.

Navigating in the dark wasn't a problem, but the blank scroll threw Jyn until dumb luck had her holding it up by the candle, preparing to set it on fire before she saw the words on it.

Jyn went with Sling because flinging vegetables sounded more fun. She just envisioned the cabbages as Saw's head.

"Still not dead," Jyn said. "Your class isn't living up to its reputation."

"Not especially," Jason admitted, making a face. Not that you could tell he was making a face, under all that mud. "But I bet this'll do wonders for my pores," he added with an eyeroll.

"Sort of... disagreement on the volleyball court," Kaylin said glumly.

Ahsoka Tano

Finding the room wasn't a problem, but it turned out Ahsoka still had some issues dealing with flimsi.

Ahsoka didn't particularly trust those shoes, so volley ball it was!

Which probably would have gone faster if she'd known the rules.

Ahsoka hated everything.

The last time Ahsoka'd been this muddy there's been Trandoshans and Wookiees involved.

She'd also been considerably happier to see Anakin that time.

"I'm telling Master Kenobi on you when he gets back."

Hyacinthe

Hyacinthe had no idea what volleyball was, but was decent enough with a slingshot to make up for lost time.

Not a lot of lost time, but some of it anyway!

This seemed like a very stupid activity however. And not just because of the shoes.

"I preferred the activities from the first two trips," Hyacinthe declared, bespattered with mud. He still managed to look pretty, like the mud was artful decoration on his skin. Stupid D'Angelline blood.

Also, he specifically meant his activities from the first two trips. But he wasn't last today?

Hyacinthe found the secret to the scroll easily enough, but puzzling over the words took some time.

Look, Cruithne was his third language, okay? He'd like to see any of you reading D'Angelline or Tsingani.
