That's exciting! Are you excited about it?" Fairfax flitted in front of Pumpkin's nose. "You don't say," he replied with a flat look. "Well, yes, I mean..." Eta laughed nervously. "I mean, we did do well last time, but that's no guarantee for the future-" "Not important." Pumpkin huffed, flicking the Nocturne with his tail. "Don't stress about it. Let's get going." "A-ah, right..." "Let's go let's go!" [rule] [center][Item=Minor Health Potion][Item=Leafy Pack](2)[Item=Dryad][/center] The Storyteller made a note as the three of them waited. "That's 9 more points for you." "Woo!" "That... is good... I think?" Eta mumbled, scratching his head. [rule] @Festivoog @Wufflesnuff @pancakeswithabs What's this? Two updates in a day?? Basically, I'm going to try and get as many of these done as I have energy for, since who knows when I'll forget again

"Some fascinating things were achieved this time," they said, tapping a claw against the top name with an amused smile. "But remember! Nothing is set in stone or stars. You've all done well." "Prepare yourselves now for your third trial." [rule] @Festivoog @Wufflesnuff @pancakeswithabs

:O Soul Seers are so far ahead! Absolutely flipped the scores!

Visia hummed. "Well, things certainly flipped around in a matter of a round..." Tabasco tilted her head. "They gained the water's blessing, yet the scales are far from settled." Iara's eyes narrowed, but he slowly nodded. "Yes, I suppose that's... a point." "Huh?" Visia asked. "What did that mean?" "Just that our fates in this competition are far from determined." "Ohh, I see. True!" Xe held xir head higher. "Of course! We won't bow so easily!" [rule] [center][Item=Minor Health Potion][Item=Zeeba][Item=Contuse][/center] "Hm." Iara glanced over what they'd brought back as they waited, contemplating. "That's another 10 points to you all." "Hm." Iara hummed again, then shoke his head as he turned away. [rule] @Festivoog @Wufflesnuff @pancakeswithabs @BenjiBenge YEAH they sure did... we'll see how that holds up huh...

It was hard to get over the shock of their rather sudden jump on the leaderboard. "Erm. Well." Powell coughed. "I suppose we just... try and keep it up?" Aramorel gave a sharp nod. "Right, yes. Let's not let this get to our heads and make us complacent. There's a long way too the finish line, after all." "Right! Of course! But..." Impdine gave the other two a hopeful smile. "This is good, right? We're, uh, good! We can do this!" "Erm, yes, of course," Powell nodded back. [rule] [center][Item=Teardrop Citrine Earrings][Item=Minor Health Potion](3) [Item=Teardrop Citrine Wing Loop][/center] "Well, it's not an egg this time," Aramorel said, eyeing the haul with a critical eye. "I, for one," Powell said with a slight shudder, "am perfectly fine with that." The Storyteller made a mark on their scroll. "That's another 33 points for you all." Impdine looked over at the others. "I mean, nowhere near as good as last time, but..." "Not bad," Aramorel said, seeming to relax slightly for the first time since starting this competition. "Not bad at all." [rule] @Festivoog @Wufflesnuff @pancakeswithabs I need to stop forgetting about this because otherwise this is going to take forever

"Still in third. We need to try and do better." "Hey, look at this place! It's all... burny!" DG said, completely missing Magister's comment. "The ground is torched, the forest, scorched," Gwilym replied. "Stop looking at the scenery and get going." [rule] [center][Item=Might Fragment][Item=Zeeba][Item=Minor Health Potion](3)[/center] Magister flicked his fins in impatience. "Well. How is this." "Hmm..." The Storyteller said. "Another nine points." "Only nine," he said, his fins vibrating in anger. "Mm, yes. Perhaps you would have gotten more if you'd looked around a bit harder," they said, eyes sparkling in mischief and amusement. [rule] @Festivoog @Wufflesnuff @pancakeswithabs "I need to stop forgetting about this" I say, and then proceed to forget about it.

This is why we're behind!" Mercy flew through a shower of embers, batting them to the side in frustration. "We're in second place," Freesia replied flatly. "Not by much, and not enough to compete with the ones ahead of us." "Well, sure," Brew tried, "but at least we're in second?" "Hrmph. Just hurry up." [rule] [center][Item=Minor Health Potion](3) [Item=Steam Crate][Item=Red-Winged Owlcat][Item=Smoke Gyre][/center] "That's another 26 points to you all," The Storyteller said, making another note. "Ugh, not enough," Mercy groaned. "Well, maybe it's not a big jump," Brew said, hurrying on as Mercy turned to glare at him, "but hey, we're making progress! Slow and steady?" "Slow!?" Freesia sighed. [rule] @Festivoog @Wufflesnuff @pancakeswithabs This time I have an excuse. That excuse is finals and holidays. @salamoonder This thread is for my personal use, but if you decide to do this challenge I would love to see it!!!

And with the way that one team flipped around, anything could happen!" Moisey, it seemed, was not about to let himself lose his positivity. "True enough," Crueak agreed. "And in the end, what's the worst that could happen?" "Damnation... to reaches beyond the grasp of all light..." Sardonyx said. This was the first words she had spoken the entire contest so far. "...Uh." Moisey said. "Right..." Crueak subtly drew away from her a step. [rule] [center][Item=Diseased Might Fragment][Item=Earthen Might Fragment][Item=Sap][/center] Crueak quickly shoved their small pile forward. "There you are. Er, thank you." The Storyteller made a note. "Another 9 points." "Hm, nine, so that's—" "Great!" Crueak did not stay long after that. [rule] @Festivoog @Wufflesnuff @pancakeswithabs Man don't you just hate it when your teammate is weird and haunted. Anyways, one more team to go! I'd like to see if I can complete the Scorched Forest section before the Gala.

Eta winced. "Well, I mean, um..." "It's okay!" Fairfax did a loop in the air. "We can keep doing it! Just gotta, yknow, one foot in front of the other! Or is it wing? Wait, can you even fly like that?" She started trying to fly forward while deliberately putting her wings forward one at a time. Pumpkin snorted. "Questionable metaphors aside, she's right. The only way ahead is forward." "R-right. Right." [rule] [center][Item=Minor Health Potion](3) [Item=Hydro Bolt][Item=Dark Acuity Fragment][/center] "So? So? How'd we do?" The Storyteller laughed. "That's 10 points to you," they replied, tapping their pencil on the excitable Veilspun's noise. "Yesss!" [rule] @Festivoog @Wufflesnuff @pancakeswithabs "So I'd like to complete the Scorched Forest before the Gala" I said, you know, like a liar. Well, the Achievements update has rekindled my interest in the site, so. Well. We'll see!

[center][size=6][b]Scorched Forest: Complete[/b][/size] [quote=Leaderboard][center][b]Soul Seers: 145 Blazing Hearts: 49 Shining Suns: 30 Hell Riders: 30 Memories: 26 Little Miseries: 23[/b][/center][/quote] "While there have been no movements up or down the Leaderboard just yet, the interest has not left!" The Storyteller tapped a claw in the center of the board. "Two of our teams are tied! And," they said, sliding down to point lower, "the two teams in last place do not represent a large difference in totals." "Now, onwards to our next venue! This is an important one, you see. The results of this next round will result in our [b]first elimination![/b] I notice many of you lacking synergy with one another. Can you overcome it? Or will it fall to the wayside, leaving you at the bottom?" With a fluid motion, they shot off the board, looping above it. "Enough delay! Off with you!" [rule] @Festivoog @Wufflesnuff @pancakeswithabs Well! It's off to the final venue of the first round! Those last scores are close... while I think it's safe to say the Soul Seers are pretty solid in their continuing forward, if not their outright placement, and I think Blazing Hearts are probably safe, everyone else is close enough that a bit of lucky RNG could flip things at any time. Guess we'll have to see!
