EMERALD

You find yourself back on the race track, this time with a variety of materials scattered across several tables. The audience cheering has died down, but you can still hear distant voices, murmuring, waiting.

Your task is to design and build a chariot that best represents your team. You will be given 600 points to spend on materials that you wish to use to construct your chariot, or spells to sabotage other teams. Each material will have certain stat bonuses, based on strength, defense, speed, stamina, and style. How you balance these stats out is entirely up to you.

Once you have completed this task, the race will begin! You will have an opportunity to pit your mount against other teams, and, if you spend points for them, use boosts to your benefit--or sabotage others. Keep in mind that other teams have this option as well, and your team may end up being the target of a sabotage spell. Certain stats may protect you from sabotage spells, but if they’re too low, you might have a problem. Lastly, although a well-balanced chariot may help you in the race, it does not guarantee a win in the game.

Your chariot right now is a plain-looking two wheeler that creaks a bit when you ride it. It’s big enough to fit your entire team, but you’ll be somewhat cramped. Your mount is a single horse, who is somewhat old and lazy. Your wheels are bronze and slightly rusted. The reigns are made of coarse rope. You get the sense that this chariot will certainly do the trick if necessary, buuuuut it won’t be great.

Your current stats are:

Attack: 1. Defense: 1. Speed: 1. Stamina: 1. Style: 1.

You have 600 points to spend. NOTE: You cannot race with a chariot that has a stat of 0 or less; all stats must have a value of at least 1 to race in the final product.

So what kind of chariot would be best for Emerald?

I don't know if we're really the chariot type, but... Well, we'll come up with something.

That's at least something to start with. [She offers her hand.] I'm Robin. It's nice to meet you.

[takes it and shakes, a little amused by it]

Sangria. A pleasure.

It is.

What kind of modifications do we want to add. I'm going to guess using a teammate as a mount is probably not going to happen. [She pauses with a small frown.] Unless it is...

I'd rather go with eagles anyway.

[thinking]

I'd say Emerald's more of a speed team anyway. Focus on that, yeah?

That sounds perfect. Feathery wings as well then, for the chariot?

Say go four wheels, too. And yeah, eagles. So that's 300 for the chariot, 175 for the mount and 30 for the wings. 505 total? That's 95 left to play with.

Anything else sound fun to you?

Feathers, a sterling sticker, and... [She stops, frowning at the list.] What are sunglasses?

They shade your eyes from the sun...

Want to go with that? I'm something of a night person anyway.

That sounds good. We seem to have stylish and speed going. How many points do we have left?

30 for the wings, 15 for the glasses is 45 which gives us 50, 20 for feathers, say... 20 for gold wheels, and 10 for... the sticker you wanted? Or we could stick with style and get the paint job? Style, stamina and speed.

[She looks over the list.]

I think that was the wings twice, which should free up thirty points. We could do the shields.

As for the color or the sticker. I guess I'll leave that up to you.

I'd rather the color, myself. No offense.

That's fine.

(please tally up your stat totals from any upgrades, add-ons, bonuses, etc. and note which sabotage spells you chose, if any)

Four wheeler: 300
Giant Eagles: 175

BIGASS FEATHERY WINGS: 30
Team colored paint: 10
Feathers: 20
Gold Wheels: 20
Cool Sunglasses: 15
Shields: 30

(total 600)

Attack: 4. Defense: 7. Speed: 12. Stamina: 10. Style: 11.
