Each winner for each race will qualify for the penultimate Challenge on Sunday “The Anvilbreaker”, the restriction of winner not being the case ONLY for this challenge.

People will be invited to a small raid, so they can see the raid markers - these markers are distance “thresholds”. Rolling a /roll 100 - the result is were you end up, needing higher rolls to progress the race, as the same or lower rolls than your current result will keep you “stuck” in place - issues gripping your rock etc.

Callouts will be made in the small raid when rolls are to be done, as in having people do rounds of rolls to make it “consistent” and simple to follow.

Rolling a 1 will result in you dropping your rock, resulting in a loss.
Rolling a 100 will result in an instant win from you, allowing a bit of freedom and flex in your emote.

The thresholds are as follows:
1st MARKER 2-20
2nd MARKER 20-40
3rd MARKER 40-60
4th MARKER 60-80
5th MARKER 80-100 (Finish line)

3rd Challenge: - Krum’Haldar - Rock hold

VENUE - CHALLENGE AREA 2

Rules
Rolls: /roll 100
Roll system: Roll vs Roll (Brawl rules)
HP system: 3 HP
Extra: 1= Instant loss (regardless of total HP)

Participants are asked to pick up a rock and hoist it over their heads. Holding it above their head while enduring the open public invite to “punch” the rock holder’s gut. The goal being to stand the longest, before dropping your rock.

This challenge is formatted like the old classic game of “Pink-belly” for those who recall it. Rock-holders have 3 hp, where they must roll against the public who are free to walk up and punch. Simple duel systems, where both sides roll a /roll 100 and the highest one wins. If the rock-holder wins, they hold the rock for more punches, if they lose, they lose 1 hp.

Rolling a 95+ as a puncher will cause the holder to immediately drop their boulder. Regardless of HP remaining.

Rock holders drop their rock when they hit 0. How many punches the rock-holder survives is what counts towards the winner. This will be counted against all who participate, crowning the winner after all of those who wanted have taken the challenge.

4th Challenge: Krum’Rollhaz - Rock toss

VENUE - CHALLENGE AREA 1

Rules
Rolls: /roll 20
Roll system: Multiple rolls (x3)
Extra: 1 = Dropping the boulder

Details:

In this challenge, participants are asked to pick up a rock and toss it as FAR as they can! Measuring distance through the number of each roll, all added up for a total.
This will be judged on how far, and how “clean” the throw was IC - the higher in the total of each roll added to that measured quality.

Using a three roll system of /roll 20, each roll counts for a stage in the toss.
The grip, the stride and the toss - all rolled for and emoted. Or, if preferred, all done in "one emote”.

Although rolling 1, at any point; WILL result in dropping the rock. Regardless of it being the first, second or last roll, you WILL drop the boulder if a single roll of the three is a 1.

5th Challenge: Kargan’Thurul - Hammer throw

VENUE - CHALLENGE AREA 1

Rules
Rolls: /roll 20
Roll system: Multiple rolls (x3)
Extra: 1 = Miss, 20 = Bullseye

Details:
Participants will be handed 3 separate weighted hammers,and will be asked to throw these hammers against a target, the target designated by the host of the challenge.

The hammer-thrower will have 3 rolls of /roll 20, each roll being a throw of one of these hammers.The goal of this challenge is to hit the target, earning more “points” depending on how precise the throws are. (This judged by the higher roll results)

If one rolls below 10, it is a near miss.
Anything above 10 is a hit.
Where 1 is a total miss, and 20 is a bullseye on the tree.

Winners for the challenge will as said be judged on how “close” most hammers were
to the target. Using the results of the rolls to gauge how close.
