(Woah, that was a relatively fast reply, I got used to having to wait for a week at the least before an update on this thread)

Xavius decides to try his luck once more, and runs back into the forest. Though he doesn't really have a large repertoire of spells to try a different approach.

(I try again with the same spells)

[dragnar]

(the RNG favors you...)
Xavius finds a much larger creature this time: A minotaur. This one doesn't go down from his first surprise attack, and even manages to strike back several times before Xavius gets a lucky shot at it's head. After taking some time to heal his wounds Zavius begins dragging the corpse back to the tournament grounds.

The minotaur is enough to get Xavius first place, and as the sun sets he is awarded his prize: a simple wizard's staff, lacking in decoration, but capable of holding a small reserve of magical energy that the wielder can use at any time.


The next day of the tournament begins, and as the wizards assemble the next contest is announced: Today's prize has been placed at the bottom of a deep lake not far from the academy. The first to get it wins.(Poltifar, you can choose whether or not you want to join this one as well)

[Nivim]

 I would join the tournament today, but I just don't have time. Perhaps tomorrow.

[Poltifar]

Xavius hears the announcement of the second challenge, scratches his head, then shrugs. He'll give those silly academy mages a chance to redeem themselves by not participating himself in this next challenge. Besides, who knows what filth lies in the water, ready to ruin his beautiful cape.

Thus, he heads back home for the day.

(Skip day, go back next day for the next challenge. Does this day count as a turn I can use to send an action by PM?)

[dragnar]

(Skip day, go back next day for the next challenge. Does this day count as a turn I can use to send an action by PM?)

Yep. Every turn is one in-game day. Meaning the tournament will last 7 turns.

[Armok]

Did you get my PMs?

[Neyvn]

I can Participate in this round right???

[dragnar]

Yeah. Anyone can spend their turn in the contest, same as any other adventure... well, unless your character is far away from the starting area.

[Nivim]

 Well, I'm fairly sure my action for today is done, but I'll be waiting until the third competition is announced before I decide my next action.

[dragnar]

Well, I'm fairly sure my action for today is done, but I'll be waiting until the third competition is announced before I decide my next action.

Actually no... I might not have been clear enough: It's a new turn, you get another action.

[Armok]

I hire a boat, go out to where the artefact is under, and rise it up on a pillar of rock so I can just grab it.

[dragnar]

The contestants head to the lake and begin their various attempts at reaching the prize first. Several get small boats and paddle out to the middle of the lake, but none of them are able to spot their goal from the surface. a few try to jump in and swim to the bottom, but find that the water has suddenly become alive, pushing them out as soon as they break the surface.

No one has claimed the treasure yet... mainly because no one has any idea what it looks like!

[Armok]

I dont need to see it, I just need to know the aproximate location, wich i do: the middle of the lake. If i have to create an arteficial island than so be it.

[Nivim]

 So if the contestants don't succeed, the academy mages will just leave the prize down there?

 The fishermen must have gotten a lot of money today.

[dragnar]

I dont need to see it, I just need to know the aproximate location, wich i do: the middle of the lake. If i have to create an arteficial island than so be it.

It's at the bottom. Not the middle.
