@Waywardhunter05 @felinefracas @jbapple

After extensive math and calculations, I say we use Protect as many will be on the offense, so we can maintain our lead, and so we can deflect 2 abilities that would deduct points from our total. After doing so, it is only then we can use the Banescale’s ability to overtake the other teams. And so Galaxia can have a chance to shine.

If you all agree, no need to vote, as I already did.

[b]Team 1's[/b] Guardian, Lumina, uses her [b]Protection[/b] scroll to envelop the boat in a layer of shimmering teal magic that slightly blocks out the sounds of the bayou. [b]Team 5's[/b] Guardian, Galaxia, also uses her [b]Protection[/b] scroll.

[b]Team 6's[/b] Ridgeback, Wilhelm, opens his [b]Long Nose[/b] scroll again to unleash his spell, which surges out like a dart and whizzes over the heads of all the dragons in the teams ahead. Teams 5 and 1 are protected, though their bubbles lose some of their thickness. Team 2 loses [b]4[/b] points. Team 6 gains [b]4[/b] points. Team 4 loses [b]4[/b] points. Team 6 gains [b]4[/b] points. [b]Team 2's[/b] Wildclaw, Larch, uses [b]Long Strike[/b]. The magic from the scroll coalesces around his claw, and he reaches out, a projection of his formidable claws zooming ahead to slow down the other teams. Teams 5 and 1 are protected, but Team 4 loses [b]5[/b] points. [b]Team 4[/b] can't quite decide which scroll to use, so the dragons decide to play Rock, Paper, Scissors. Atlantis, the Coatl, is victorious, and uses his [b]Serpent's Secret[/b] scroll to boost the team with a light breeze that gains them [b]3[/b] points. [b]Team 3's[/b] Banescale, Marr, opens her [b]Song of Support[/b] scroll. Music starts emanating from it, and she recognizes it as a harmony which she is supposed to improvise on. "Goes with the jazzy theme of this whole festival, eh?" she says, before adding her own voice to the mix. Team 3 gains [b]4[/b] points.

@Waywardhunter05 @jbapple @felinefracas

We maintained our lead! Still in 2nd place!

As said in my last post, we must now use the Banescale’s ability to push us into 1st place. There is a risk of losing some points, but if we get good dice rolls, and if we use Protect in the round after that, we’re pretty much safe.

If you agree with me, there is no need to vote, as I already did. Nice work everyone!

[b]Team 2's[/b] Guardian, Glowstick, uses his [b]Protection[/b] scroll to envelop the boat in a shimmering layer of teal magic that adds a teal coloration to everything the dragons inside are seeing, much like the Stained gene. [b]Team 4's[/b] Spiral, Cadaver, uses [b]Knotted Up[/b], and a shape flies out from the scroll, vaguely taking the shape of a bird with fluttering wings. It gets to Team 2's boat and elongates, twisting around the boat in a confusing shape much like a Spiral dragon, but Team's 2's protective magic holds, though fading in color somewhat. [b]Team 3's[/b] Fae, Bat, uses their [b]Lucky Leap[/b] scroll. The boat bounces out of the water and even hovers for a moment like a flying fish, before dropping back down and skimming along the water. Team 3 gains [b]9[/b] points. [b]Team 1's[/b] Nocturne, Cinnamon, uses her [b]Sneaking Through[/b] scroll. Unaffected by the other teams' abilities, the team simply watches the action going on around them, Cinnamon wishing she had popcorn to munch. Team 1 gains [b]10[/b] points. [b]Team 6's[/b] Tundra, Mudskipper, uses her [b]Smells Familiar[/b] scroll, which enhances her natural olfactory abilities. Even over the strong scent of swamp water, she is able to follow the trails of other Water dragons, allowing the team to steer more efficiently. Team 6 gains [b]12[/b] points. [b]Team 5's[/b] Snapper, Gwen, uses her [b]Slow and Steady[/b] scroll. The boat starts to move forward as if pushed by an invisible hand at a steady pace. The team keeps rowing, finding it easier to cut through the water. The effect lasts for nearly two hours, and by the end, Team 5 gains [b]24[/b] points.

[b]Team 1's [/b]Guardian, Neptune, opens his [b]Protection[/b] scroll and a mote of teal light arises from it, expanding to form a shimmering protective layer around the boat that slightly mutes sound from the outside and casts a teal tone to everything. [b]Team 4[/b] can't decide which scroll to use and get into a brief but heated argument before Thunderwolfe the Gaoler just goes ahead and opens a scroll at random to stop it from escalating, releasing a frosty wave of her own [b]Winter Guard[/b] magic that envelops the team in its protective bubble. [b]Team 5's[/b] Ridgeback, Lithinial, uses his [b]Long Nose[/b] scroll. A dart of magic flashes out and zooms forward to skim the tops of the other teams' heads, causing little electric shocks of magical energy to pass through them. The dart returns with this energy and uses it to propel the boat forward. Team 4 and 1 are protected, though Team 4's bubble disappears and Team 1's fades somewhat. Team 3 loses [b]2[/b] points.

[b]Team 6's[/b] Spiral, Niseag, uses Knotted Up, and a long shape with wings flies out toward Team 1 and starts zooming around the boat in confusing patterns. However, it fades, having clashed with what remains of their protective bubble, and has no effect. [b]Team 2's[/b] Veilspun, Jupiter, uses his [b]Swarming Slowdown[/b] scroll. A magical cloud of insect-like shapes flutters out from the scroll and forms a larger shape of a Veilspun dragon, which flies out towards the teams ahead. Team 6 loses [b]5[/b] points. Team 1 loses [b]8[/b] points. [b]Team 3's[/b] Coatl, Anivia, opens up her [b]Serpent's Secret[/b] scroll, almost dropping it in the water before the serpent that erupts from it tosses it back into her hands and envelops the whole boat in a breeze that ruffles her feathers and moves the boat forward.

@dragonpals @CourierSix @Dragoneko Sorry I wasn't too present yesterday! I am here today, though, armed with a lot of procrastinating to do.

Enlightened Soul - The team's current Round Total is bumped up to the next square number (even if it is already a square number). This would bring us to 25 this round. That's a lot of progress!

Knotted Up - The team in first place in the race standings loses 12 points unless that is this dragon's team, in which case the second place team loses 6 points. If this ability occurs in the first round, the only effect is that the team gains 3 points. This would bring the first place team down to 49, and possibly bump us in the top 3 depending on how the others do! Personally, though, I'd keep it for a later time.

Serpent Secret - Double the rolls equal to or less than the position of this team in the race standings, eg: if it is in 3rd place, double rolls of 1, 2, and 3. If it is the first round, use the round standings. We are fifth, so we could double everyone but the PC. It would put us up to 22.

Slow and Steady - If this team is in the last half of teams in the race standings, it gains as many points as is needed to pass the #3 team in the race standings by 1. If this ability occurs in the first round, the only effect is that the team gains 3 points. For some reason, the Snapper ability confuses me to heck, please help?

Right now, not counting Slow and Steady, which I can't calculate for the life of me, PC seems like the best option!
