Reef is available for someone without an aquatic Sam to use if anyone needs one :3

Hmmm! Would a Shifter be able to enter, if they had access to a water form? Or would that be cheating? XD

@LvSoulFriend - that would be perfectly fine, as long as the Samanayr(in any form) can swim and hold their breath for a reasonable length of time they are welcome to join. Even a non-aquatic species without fins could enter, they would just be at a rather large disadvantage to those built for swimming.

And go they do! These racers are going strong, but the next obstacle may be lurking around the next corner...

And sure enough, a number of racers run into the first obstacle, a series of undersea vents shooting out boiling hot water. Better use extra caution navigating through this minefield!

Ouch X)
I wonder where everyone else is... I've never seen a race this quiet.

A few racers clear the vents only to run into the next obstacle, a deep and dark abyss. Who knows what critters are hiding in these murky depths!
@ElvenArcher - I don't know, but I appreciate your company!

Just when our racers thought they might have a bit of a break, the third obstacle comes into view. This time it's an old shipwreck encrusted in barnacles with long mast posts sticking up from the bottom.

Both Mystics eye each other before making a final dash to the finish. In a flurry of bubbles, the two cross the line at what would appear to be the same time by a watchers eye, but the referee called Mystic of the Craggy Firth as the winner by only a millisecond.
