ooc: Stick around
ooc: I think I misspelled the title.

Tytos notices a notice about a 'Pageant of the Realm' and grumbles about there being no more competitions to win.

[elaena]

OOC: Pageant as in beauty pageant??

[swammeyjoe]

Crap, I think I misspelled it, you know, a paegant, those objective based melee's.

[elaena]

OOC: Ohh okay. I think we should have a beauty pageant...

[edricdayne]

OOC: Oh, haha wrong spelling. You confused me there Randal!

Another event appears to have been created, almost overnight, by the great carpenters of the West. In what was once a simple grassy plain, a single obstacle lined pathways has been created, leading out to a large area of dirt and then to a small gazeboo like structure with a set of stairs leading up to it.

Each of the courses are the same:

1. Competitors rush from their starting spots and climb the ladder, reaching a large platform.
2. From the platform, the must then clutch a log and slide down, suffering numerous bumps on the way down. Those who succed will find themselves at another platform.
3. Upon getting to the next platform, the competitors must then face a maze of swinging sandbags, determined to knock them off course.
4. When they finally stagger through that encounter, competitors must walk a pathway narrow enough for only a single foot at a time, all the while being over fourty feet in the air.
5. After crossing that chasm, competitors must make a running jump and grab ahold of the next platform.
6. Finally, those who make it this far must clamber down a large rope net, and then finally sprint towards the gazeebo.

Once the competitors begin the sprint, they will be ambushed by various members of the current Kingsguard, as well as having to contend with each other, for only one can grab the golden rose and be named the newest member of the Kingsguard.

All seven competitors move at the same time through the same obstacle course, this should force stratagy upon the competitors, factoring whether it is better to push a man off a beam or to wait and have him help you in battle.

ooc: Yes, yes, I ripped off Ninja Warrior.
ooc2: And yes, I do figure this is waaay to hard, if it is, tell me and I shall change it.

The spinning sword make it impossible.

[swammeyjoe]

Blunted swords, perhaps?

[melon]

Guess so. I was thinking of Sand bags.

[edricdayne]

Good god. A massive course, that seems very hard to get someone into the Kingsguard? I was thinking it would be duels or something, geez!

[swammeyjoe]

Well, then, should I edit it, it is by no means the final course, I want it to be do-able.

Bane Karstark enters rather drunk as he scribbles his name down.

[edricdayne]

Hmmm, I think it is alright now. I think the rope climb was kinda getting me, because lots of people can't do them, and rope climbing would not have been something that people would do in their entire lives, most likely. It look good now-- But maybe a sort of rock climb to replace the rope climb? Maybe wood with small chunks sticking out?

[swammeyjoe]

Yeah, figured the rope climb was way to hard. Besides, they do have to fight the Kingsguard and each other at the end, so maybe I should make it easier.
