There's an old legend dating back to the founding of Aturi:
As settlers built homes and prepared the land for farming, a basilisk, disturbed by the noise, emerged from its nearby lair. It used its infamous and terrible gaze at the settlers, killing many of them and driving the rest into hiding in a cave in the nearby timberlands.
The situation was dire until one brave lad volunteered to run past the dreadful basilisk to Seantryn Modan to seek help from the army there.
Was he brave beyond measure? Was he mad?
Or did he have a cunning plan?
All of the above, it turned out. The teenager wrapped a blindfold around his eyes, shielding them from the basilisk's deadly gaze, and dashed blindly along the familiar roads until he felt the cobblestones of Seantryn Modan beneath his feet. He saved the village!
So, in late summer, the farmers of Aturi celebrate the town's founding and invite travelers and tourists to reenact the boy's run with them.
This time, an eclectic mix of adventurers showed up, representing the Village of the Battleragers, the Fortress of Light, the Temple of the Scarab, and more.
Round One: The Aturi Timberlands Cave to the Seantryn Modan Palace Gates
First place - Kerubiel Second place - Galvendir Third place - Gillador Fourth place - Aaelor Fifth place (by coin toss) - Lahnee
Participation trophies go to: Gilversplitz, Wilice, Ella
Round Two: The Dark Forest back to the Aturi Timberlands Cave
Entropist Gilversplitz, cut from the running, moved to ensure the Battlerager Kerubiel would not succeed without a fight. The wily shapeshifter ultimately feasted upon Kerubiel's entrails. An inglorious end for the most promising competitor of the race.
First place - Galvendir Second place - Gillador
Participation trophies go to: Kerubiel, Aaelor, Lahnee
Final Round: Aturi Timberlands Cave to The Lost Elven Vaults The most treacherous blind race yet! A Scarabite and a paladin scrambled blindly through the Jade Mountains in hopes of being the first to make it to the Lost Elven Vaults.
(Meanwhile, Gilversplitz pounced upon Wilice in the Aturi Timberlands, only to fall upon the goodly fighter's pike. "I thought you were one of those wolves!" Wilice exclaimed after realizing the aggressive beast he felled was, in fact, a shapeshifting gnome.)
In the end, Gillador prevailed as a blindfolded Galvendir became mired in the village of Aturi.
Winner: Gillador, Voice of the Scarab
For someone who uses the word "blind" as a grave insult, he's awfully good at navigating without sight!
After winning, Gillador promptly massacred the farmer and wandering knight who judged the contest, putting festivities to a decisive and grim close.
Special thanks to all of the participants! Gillador Gilversplitz Wilice Galvendir Lahnee Aeaelor Ella Kerubiel
