The Dragon Races

• Location: Sandpoint Market Square #35 on map
• Organizer: Gressel Tenniwar
• Price: 5 silver/play
• Game of: Animal Handling
• Tag line: “There's been talk of starting Dragon farming in Sandpoint, so we've gotta find out which ones are the fastest so that we have the best dragons! Pick yourself a dragon and pit it in a Dragon Race against your friends!”

Game Details

The game is located in the Sandpoint Market Square on the south side by the docks just at the beginning of Market Street. It has two double lane tracks set up next to each other with a three-foot wide gap between the two tracks. The tracks are 20' feet long. Near the starting line there is a large cage with 12 lizards in it. Each one has a set of twig and cloth wings attached to their backs. Each one is painted a different color so that they look like little dragons. Without touching the lizards, goad your lizard down the track. Get him to cross the finish line before your opponents and win a prize! Once they have four people with a dragon picked, place them in the starting lanes. At the sound of the whistle, the gates are lifted and you goad your dragon down the track without touching them. To do this, each person racing makes an initiative check and players attempt to goad their lizard in initiative order. The lizards are notoriously difficult to deal with, so you must make a Handle Animal check to get them to move. The lizards move 5' on a successful check. On a failure they do not move. On a failure by 10 or more, the lizard actually moves backwards. The first lizard to cross the finish line wins.
Visuma and Tharuzall decided to play the game. In what became a tight race at the end, Visuma showed her courage and abilities bonding with the monitor lizard to achieve the win.

Prize

Visuma was gifted the ability to cast the following spell 1/Day: Shield Companion
