The Race

Haunted House

This is a spooky ground race through a haunted house. Who knows what your Samanayr will encounter within the walls of this creaking and groaning haunt but it's sure to cause a fright!

There are 10 spots open for this race.

Special Rules

This race will be a little different from a normal race and fairly similar to the previous haunted house race from 2009 (Oh wow... has it really been that long )

There will be no obstacles like in a regular race; however, there are a few special things to look out for in this haunted house:
- Each turn there is a chance that your Samanayr will get scared and not move on that turn (Note: this is completely random and does not depend on personality whatsoever).
- The haunted house is full of secret passages. If a Samanayr lands on the exact location of a secret passage, they will go through it. These passages may move a Samanayr forwards, or backwards.

Prizes

Here are the spooky prizes available, one of each hairclip is available for each of the races:
Pumpkin hairclip: Offspring will have the Perennial Growth trait, but the 'tree' will be a pumpkin stem.
Vampire hairclip: Offspring will have fangs.
Ghost hairclip: Offspring will have ghostly, ethereal wings.

First place

- First pick from the hairclips(pumpkin, vampire, or ghost).
- One modiem of choice
- One random modiem

Second place

- Second pick from the hairclips(pumpkin, vampire, or ghost).
- One modiem of choice

Third place

- The hairclip left over
- One random modiem

Good evening everyone, any plans for Halloween tomorrow?

A row of Samanayrs stand outside the haunted house, preparing to enter and start the race.

[silvermoondragon]

As our Samanayrs start the race, a few racers stumble upon some trap doors and secret passages. To help keep track of these, a ghostly Samanayr shows where the roll ended, and the full Samanayr is where they ended up after heading through.

Ooooooooooh, tricky haunted house. Go Wail Go! XD

[Operetta]

Come on, Wail! You can do it!

[silvermoondragon]

On go the racers dodging spider webs and bats as they navigate the creepy building.

[Operetta]

*prods Wail* Did you injure yourself coming out of the gate? XD

[silvermoondragon]

More and more secret passages begin to reveal themselves as our races continue their journey.

[Operetta]

AHAHAHAHA! Wail is secretly a big scaredy cat! XD

[silvermoondragon]

With all the secret passages, placings are changing constantly and the prizes could go to anyone!

[Operetta]

Yay! Go, Wail! You can do it! It's not THAT scary! XD

[Origami_Dragon]

...I feel like half of this house is actually secret passages... Probably almost no room to live in. Just passages.

[Rythe]

Woo! Go Heart! Out-trick the trickiness! You can do it! :O

[silvermoondragon]

It looks like some of the racers are nearing the finish line, could the race be almost over or are there more passages to be discovered?


@Origami_Dragon - lol, yeah, I may have put in a few too many XD I feel like if I ever made a house it would be like this... secret passages EVERYWHERE!

[Operetta]

LOL. Go Wail! Run for your life! Get out of there as fast as you can!

[Janalee]

Woo, go Snared! I'm going to laugh if/when she finds a path straight back to the beginning now... XD

[tierasa]

You hit the Hoggle obstacle. Being a scaredy cat himself, he leads you straight back to the beginning. XD

[silvermoondragon]

Even as our racers close in on the finish, another passage is discovered and sends poor Wail almost to the start.

[Operetta]

I knew it! I knew there was going to be one like that! Hahahahahaha!

[Rythe]

::Snickers:: Poor Wail!

And go Heart! Go! Go for the trickiness!

[silvermoondragon]

The finish line is now in sight for our racers but who will win?

[Operetta]

Maybe Wail just likes the slides! XD

[silvermoondragon]

And with this round two of our racers cross the finish with a sigh of relief. Sting managed to cross just a smidge ahead of Shiver in order to claim first prize.

[Operetta]

Congrats! Poor Wail. He just wanted to leave.
