[Job Class Test] Posturing for Position (Soren)

[ramenli]

Guardians must be swift to strike where needed, and excel in all forms of battle. They must navigate the great plains and locate and eliminate five wooden targets.

Time: If your time reaches zero it is GAME OVER.
THE MAP: Your horsemen starts at 120 seconds (make a mental tally this is their starting zone in the event. Their goal is to get ten books before 0 seconds hits.

- Roll 1d10. Every time you roll a dice, subtract 5 seconds from your tally. Match your dice roll to the events below.
Rolling 1-2: You find what looks like a wooden target but it is actually just a log....
Rolling 3: You find a wooden target!
Rolling 4: You find a wooden target!
Rolling 5: You find a great hidden book that whispers to you and promises power, but it is really not what you are looking for in this text.
Rolling a 6: A giant axe lands and neatly beheads you causing the course to reset!
Rolling a 7: You find a wooden target!
Rolling a 8: You find a wooden target!
Rolling a 9: You manage to find a piece of treasure that is just buried too deep in the sand. You waste time trying to dig for it. -10 seconds.
Rolling 10: You find 2 wooden targets!

GOAL: Find 10 wooden targets before time runs out!
UPON COMPLETION: You have done it! Your horseman gains the SCAVENGER PASSIVE ABILITY:


Guardian passive ability: You may select one priestess to "serve" during your time. You and the priestess will be able to communicate with each other telepathically. You will also share her ability of Trance if she has one (and use it yourself).
- In battle, you may summon your weapon into battle. Roll an extra 1d6 once per battle as additional damage you do to your opponent.

Soren twisted his neck, popping the vertebrae and looking at the targets set before him. He could do this, and when he did he could reclaim his position as guardian and stand at his priestess' side. Neru may think of him as her guardian, but without the clan's acknowledgement he was nothing.

He was still trying to plot the best way through the course before he really started when an axe caught him from behind and beheaded him.

Time: Beheaded/Reset  

[ramenli]

At the start of the course yet again Soren stretched, but this time he did not wait. He had learned his lesson the time before so he tackled the course immediately, locating the first target with ease before whirling to find the next one.

Time: 115  

[ramenli]

Soren dropped into a crouch to avoid a trap and then shuffled sideways, taking down one more target on the way. This was how things were meant to be, and now he had a mere eight more to take care of. His way.

Time: 110
Targets: 2  

[ramenli]

He rolled, staying nimble as he shot back to his feet and took out yet another target. Still he stayed tense, trying to keep an eye in all directions as he stalked toward his next victim.

Time: 105
Target: 3  

[ramenli]

The plains left him open to attack, but he used it to his advantage, stalking quickly to the next easily visible target and dismantling it. Close to halfway, but this was a horseman test. They were never as simple as one wished.

Not just anyone could guard a priestess, and somewhere they would be separating the foals from the horses.

Time: 100
Targets: 4  

[ramenli]

With a short sprint he managed to make it to the next target, standing behind it and reaching around to destroy it before crouching, scanning the areas for the closest target to take out.

Time: 95
Targets: 5  

[ramenli]

The time looking for his next target paid off, and this time Soren was able to combine his attacks, taking out two targets in quick succession.

Time: 90
Targets: 7  

[ramenli]

His joy over dismantling two targets at once was never realized as out of nowhere an axe flew at him and he found himself at the start of the course.

Time: Reset
Targets: Reset  

[ramenli]

Before Soren could even get started a flash of gold distracted him. He was already looking before he realized the clock had started, then he was off on his quest.

Time: 110
Targets:  

[ramenli]

But really, that treasure was distracting. Shinies.

Time: 100
Targets:  

[ramenli]

Now that he was finally on the prowl Soren knew he had to make up for lost time. He attacked a target and then turned, burying his gauntlet into a second one and ripping it apart quickly.

Time: 95
Targets: 2  

[ramenli]

Axe to the knee.

Time: Reset
Targets: Reset  

[ramenli]

All the axes.

Soren was looking at a book and missed his start time. Whoops.
