Re: The Obstacle Course (OOC training and test thread)
In reply to GM (msg # 1):
"An obstacle course? Really?"
Brennan sighs, then rubs his hands together.
"So be it. Let's see if we can complete this course at optimal efficiency."
He jogs into the trees from the starting line without much effort, but frowns when faced with the decision between the muddy trenches and the slippery logs. Reasoning that he's less likely to harm himself if he stays on the ground, he heads for the trenches and begins to slog through them.
[Body + Running: 7,9,9,4,6]
Brennan plows through the trenches with calculated ease, though not particularly quickly, and makes his way to the training dummy on the other side of the path. He grips the nearby spear with an obvious lack of familiarity, checks the local wind patterns, and chucks the barbed shaft in the general direction of its target.
[Coordination + Throw: 7,10,2,4]
The tip buries itself unceremoniously into the ground, and Brennan shrugs nonchalantly.
"Some things are inevitable," he says to no one in particular, before hurrying over to the wall of logs. "And others are... harder than they look."
[Coordination + Climb: 9,6,7,4]
Brennan struggles for a moment with the wall, huffing and puffing and utterly failing to haul himself over it before letting his feet touch back down on the ground.
"Fortunately, there are many paths -- some better than the others. We must learn to envision more than what we are told to see."
He then simply walks around the wall and, shielding his eyes from the sun, peers into the distance.
[Sense + Sight: 10,6]
"Looks like I'm done," he says, nodding to himself. "Though I believe I'll want to give it another go before our good patron revokes access to his facility."
