Would Shifters get a bonus or a disadvantage with the race?

Would anyone have a water sam that they would be willing to lend to a fairly new person?

@ LvSoulFriend - that's a tricky one I'd have to think about, If they're able to shift into aquatic creatures(which I believe yours is able to) I don't see them getting much of a disadvantage if any. As for bonuses I'm not really sure yet, it would depend on the obstacles and what they would be able to shift into to get past the obstacle.

@hardwired - you're welcome to use any of my Samanayrs if you'd like, Wave or Vapor would probably be the most suitable though: Image Image

Hey guys, the race may be a little late, I still have to walk the dog, and I'm not quite sure I'll be back by 8, so I'll change the starting time to 8:30. Sorry for any inconveniences.

In this round, some of our racers get caught in first obstacle, a section of rapids, others pausing just before, ready to tackle them in the next round.

Just around the corner, our second obstacle comes into view, a stepped waterfall. Racers will have to leap up the river, just like spawning salmon to make their way passed this one!

The river hazards seem to be proving quite the challenge for some of our racers.

Our last racers, in a feat of strength, manage to break through the rapids just as our first racer comes across the final obstacle, a strong back current rolling in behind a rather large boulder.

It's a nail-biter. Could someone come from behind to steal the win from Fathom? Hehehe.

And Orasteele's Fathom crosses the finish line claiming first prize. Who'll be next?
