[AuroraKiye]

Arkie sees the racing office lit up when she walks by in the predawn darkness. She steps up and taps lightly on the door. Hearing no sounds from within, she slides a piece of paper under the door, stating, "AuroraKiye and her hippogriff will be in the race, and will fight.. stats to be sent by separate post."

[Logo]

Carrying a dull axe and smelling of pine rosin, a troll approached the office of the Cork Aerial Racing Authority to slide a note under the closed door.

	In application for tomorrow's HG race: Strength: ^@/&& Dexterity: ^@/^% Intelligence: ^~/%# Strategy: G'nas-tor! Donation: Aaa'Kron (E.R.P) In sincere appreciation, Logo, Snack (& the neighbor's cat)

Homer stumbled over the threshold into the race office.

He announced that he would not be fightnig and presented his stats:

Level: 1
Mood: annoyed
Charisma: 10
Strength: 25
Intelligence: 4
Dexterity: 0
Reputation: 12 (8 from Trust)
Alignment: 127

he gets his ticket punched and opines:

"perhaps I shall work on dexterity in time for the next race."

He leaves by the same door only slightly bumping his head on the way out.

[thistletumbler]

i will fight

Strength: 34
Intelligence: 25
Dexterity: 26

[Adonair]

Ok, we have a great race for you today. Everyone has something going for them. Logo returns as victor of the last race, he is the best fighter and tied for highest intel. TT is a three time winner, he has highest strength and tied for highest intel. Arkie has the highest dexterity and the most stamina, she's been giving Bittie lots of table scraps at her new tavern perhaps. Finally Homer son of Simp the newest griffon owner. Though his stats are lowest, griffons are quite speedy!!

Competitors must remain in their lanes for the first leg, there are no fights possible.

On your mark, get set go!

Thistletumbler pulls hard on the reins and gets his creature aloft fast and in first place. Logo isn't far behind and as usual he likes flying low, particularly coming into the forest. Arkie and Homer are off to slow starts and tied for third, but its a long race!

[Adonair]

Going through the woods Logo has some trouble, causing him to detour and lose time. First Arkie passes him and then Homer does as well. TT keeps the lead Arkie in second, homer in third and Logo bringing up the rear.

[Adonair]

TT keeps his lead heading toward the church, homer is gaining fast. He might have tried to fight the Viceroy just then, but with his strategy he chooses to hang back staying in second. Logo takes over third and jostles with Arkie but its not conclusive. They are both tied for third.

TT starts losing his lead going into the hairpin turn. Arkie challenges, but she's going too fast... wow, she just missed crashing there, good thing for her high dexterity. Homer takes advantage and slips into first! Logo moving slowly, may have some kind of trouble. They're very close coming down the stretch: Homer, TT, Arkie and then Logo.

[Adonair]

Coming down to the finish, the new racer Homer riding 'Testimony' holds on for the victory! Thistletumbler comes in second, Arkie third and Logo finishing fourth, looks like he had a bit of trouble in the forest and never quite recovered.
