.. And all the eager horseback riders started to show up already half an hour before the whisle. People from all walks of life; Roleplayers, Casual Players and Even Players that usually play thier Murderers in Felluca, Yes they were all here to compete for the Prizes for the first 3 Horses with horseback riders on thier back.
Here is a list of who participatet in this horse race (in alphabetical order):
Bugs
Lord Deoris
Lady Derina
Jaina
Katsumi
Miss May
Oblivion
Schlurchi
Lord syemour
Syntia de Maraun
it is now 10 minutes before they go, and all are here as they should. and all are connected to our uoam server with thier (or part of) charname.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO GO GO GO !!! and off they went, seems Schlurchi was semi afk or so he was a bit slow to start. But off they went the lot of them.
Miss May took the lead most of the way through Malas, but after they had taken the luna gate to skara, this was the leaderboard:
Lord Deoris 1
Katsumi 2
Oblivion 3
Lord syemour 4
Jaina 5
Miss May 6
Syntia de Maraun 7
Bugs 8
Schlurchi 9
Lady Derina 10
But by this time Schlurchi was catching up, and for a time our very own Bugs was up front as well. And at same time it seemed as if Miss May's and Oblivions horse was pretty low on stamina, because they slowed down dramaticly!
Another checkpoint and the positions keeps changing, this is going to be tight finish!
By they time they reached the bridge above the desert in trammel, this was the leaderboard:
Lord Deoris 1
Bugs 2
Schlurchi 3
Jaina 4
Syntia de Maraun 5
Katsumi 6
Lord syemour 7
Oblivion 8
Lady Derina 9
Miss May 10
Miss May's horse which started so well is now totally drained of stamina! And Deoris have taken the lead, but for how long?
By this time and past the last checkpoint it is a print to the finish and remember, only 3 first places gets prizes!
And what a close finish it was, by an amazing performance by Schlurchi seems to have switched on the nitro for his horse and flew across the field, ahead of the competition and first across the finish line, closely followed by Bugs and Deoris on 2nd and 3rd place accordingly.
Once all was across the finish line the prizes could be handed out, but first a little surprice to all participants. A special Body Sash, that looks like so:
Other prizes handled out like this:
1st Place Prize : Ethereal Ki-rin (won by Schlurchi)
2nd Place Prize : Pendant of the Magi (won by Bugs)
3rd Place Prize : Shield of Invunularibility (won by Deoris)
