Air Cloud Slalom - Winged dragons only
The Rules of the Air Cloud Slalom Event
1. Owners and those who currently have dream dragons registered may enter.
2. An owner can only enter once, though they may include multiple dragons in their rp posts.
3. All dice rolls must be made in this thread.
4. No deleting of posts, this is something that I will check. Cheating = greylisting
5. Include a RP post with each of the designated Rolls. And then a final finish post.
6. RP will need not be extensive, though a few random points exist for those who entertain Tasah the most.
7. The rolls will be tallied along with any RP points given to decide the winner. Final tallies will be posted along with the winner at the end of each race.
Note: Someone can win purely on good rolls and minimal RP. #6 is for those who want to try and get a few extra points in case the dice decide not to play nice for them. As well as a chance to RP and build their dragon's personality.
The rolls that need to be made by each Air Cloud Slalom contestant :
Roll 1 - Roll 1 10 sided dice - Race start with short straight away
Roll 2 - Roll 1 20 sided dice - First series of cloud to weave and zag through, fair distance inbetween them but watch out for those sudden summer lightening strikes
Roll 3 - Roll 1 10 sided dice - short straight away into a bank before the next series of clouds
Roll 4 - Roll 1 100 sided dice - Second series of clouds to weave and zag between, close together requiring tight zig-zags, cross winds could be a problem, a place for ground to be gained and lost
Roll 5 - Roll 1 12 sided dice - Exit from clouds and straight away to the finish line.
Starts : August 15th - Now open!
Ends : All rolls must be posted no later than Midnight EST on Wednesday August 16th
The Prize :

((because l don't have a dragon of any sort, l'll use the dragon l coloured for fun at the contest. I do not in any way own this dragon; l just coloured it 3nodding http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v21/pokegal/colourentry.pngit's like my dream dragon...but with colour! :O)) ahhh yes! it was a great atmosphere. The crowd cheered on as the person raised the the gun, about to fire it All the contestents were lined up at the starting line and ready to go!. Raku sat there looking quite smug. oohh this shall be intertaining. He couldn't wait to cross the finish line and be cheered on by all his fans. He started to make a "thankyou to all my supporters speech!" in his head before realsing one improtant thing
the race had already started and he was sitting on the starting line.
Forgetting about his heroic speech, the lighty taned dragon speed off and into the chilly air quickly getting to his maxium speed.

((oh hah hah, stupid dice >.>; ))
Raku was soon close to the bunches of cloud that proved as obsticals to the fliers. At first glace they proved to prevent any sort of good vision, and in order to see past anything he'd had to weave through them.
Fat chance of that, he needed to find a shortcut fast. And if you can't go over, canot go under, you go through them!
Raku flapped his wings and speed on through the clouds. Dam it was cold; like a moring shower but when you didn't pay your eletricity bill. It was smooth sailing at first, even though he couldn't see a thing. However there was one thing he didn't count on, and that was the lighting strikes..
Barrel rolling to the left and right proved good for the first two strikes, but the third got him head on. And he emerged from the clouds looking like he was a KFD; kentucky fried dragon

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/RayniasPets/cert_badger.jpgPatch looked around, a slightly crazed look on his face. He only got that look when he was really excited (especially when it was time for dinner). He didn't even train for the race, despite the fact his adopted sister, Kalama, insisted he should. "Train?" He snorted to himself. "Why do you think I should train? I don't need it!" He shouted aloud, not seeming to care who heard him. He heard some loud noise and jumped. "What the--" He then realized that everyone else was taking off. "Oh, I knew that..." he muttered, then quickly took off into the sky.

feeling quite dazed, Raku kept his wings fully spread and glided fowards. He used this small reprived to get a better bearing of where he was, and then saw the next bunch of clouds he would have to get through. Folding his wings around his body he banked and gained speed so he could reach the second obstecale faster.

Patch continued to push forward. He had reached the first patch of clouds. "This will be easy!" He panted. He then saw a flash up ahead. He hesitated a moment. He had a terrible fear of lightning! He kept having flashbacks about when he was younger and hiding under a rock each time lightning would strike. Patch desperately searched the sky for a rock now.
He had to snap out of his paranoia, and quick! He shook his heak quickly, trying to shake the fear off. He got his determined look back. "I'm gonna kill you lightning! Look out!" He got moving again, picking up speed and hurling around each cloud.

Now he had reached the cloud cover. And this time he would do it properly. At first it took a minute of procasinating and panicing before he found a spot where the clouds thined out a bit, and he dove right in. This pathway gave him some more visiability to work with but the tight turns and such made it harder for him to get through.
However to make his journey even more hard, A strong gust of wind suddenly blew around Raku, making it harder for him to even go forwards. "dam you $$%^^$!" he shouted at the wind. Now was the time for some quick thinking....aha!
In order to escape the tough winds he closed his wings around himself again and dived forwards. This made him strag off the path a bit, but he was still able to pull out of it every now and again, and the wind wasn't ab;e to have such a big effect on him
take that mother nature!!!

He got out of the first patch of clouds! He wanted to dance, but knew he had to keep moving. He continued onward, giving a few small flaps of the wings to pick up speed. He saw another group of clouds ahead. "No more lightning!" He whined between pants. He then took a large breath in and sped onward.

((nice rolls there sky ^_^))
more diving and pulling up went on, for what seemed a enternity before he saw the clouds thin out a bit. At last the end of the race was at hand! yesyes fame, forture! sexy ladies and wine! all the good stuff.
There was still the problem of getting accorss the finish line first... Abanding all tactics Raku flapped his wings like a maniac and flew as hard as he ever could. Not caring if there was wind or not to slow him down.
However, even though the finish line was just on the other side of the clouds, it made it quite hard for anyone to see the finish line...
And so, Raku flew straight out of the clouds and towards the sign that said "FINISH" to mark the end of the race, and head first he went into the sign
He was able to cross the finish line, but that didn't mean he was consious while doing it....

((Thank you! 4laugh ))
Patch entered the next group of clouds. His jaw almost dropped as he noticed that these ones were much tighter together. "Think happy thoughts," he told himself. "Pink toads!" He wound around the first one. "Baby dragons!" He bounced around another. "Dinnertime!" He floated above another. He kept the pace up well until it began to get windier.
He tried to fight against the wind but it was difficult since it was making his eyes water. He tried to keep his focus with his positive thoughts. "Beating...Kalama...in...a...game...of....catch!" He grit his fangs, still weaving around the best he could. "Singing....songs!" He pressed onward, eyes still watering.

A few more happy thoughts and...he was out! He shook his head, trying to clear the watery eyes so he could focus on the finish line. After he could see again, he stretched his wings out further, trying to gain speed and aiming himself at the goal.
He sniffed at the air. "Ah yes, what's that smell?" He pushed closer, the finish line now visible. "It's smelling stronger now..." Patch gave another push with his wings, seconds away from the finish line. "Yes, the smell of victory!" He crossed the finish line, then started to do a dance before collapsing from exhaustion.

*Warming up his wings, Stream Line took to teh sky and to the starting line. Eyeing the other dragons that had shown up, he snorted lightly and looked forward. When the signal to go was issued he shot forward down the straight away, his eyes still eying the dragons about him...[[ Stream Line: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/TealDawn/Dragon/Stream_Line.png ]]
