Froggy Friend tried his best, but fell out of the course halfway through! He hoped he would be able to get enough acorns for that special headband, but he didn't know if he he would be strong enough. He'd have to pull through. He'd impress everybody and take home the prize, like a true underdog!
Amonee could practically hear music playing as he soared through the courses. He was a chariot of fire. He could do anything. His mind was focused and his body seemed to follow every order with ease.
"Hraaaah!" He threw everything he had into it until suddenly he collapsed just before the Devil's Steps. The jadeblood had never been good at pacing himself nor keeping to a stable sleep schedule. In the middle of his big moment, he passed out.
log grip = 7 + 4 = 11, pass spinning log = 4 + 3 = 7, pass jump hang = 8 + 3 = 11, pass salmon ladder = 9 + 4 = 13, pass spider climb = 7 + 4 = 11, pass cargo climb = 9 + 6 = 15, pass devil steps = 10 + 6 - 1 = 15, pass* (i wasn't sure if you subtracted the full stamina amount or just what you went over? this pushed kal to -1; if you subtract the full amount instead his score would be 13 instead!!)
After his humiliating failure the night before, Kaldru returned to the Ninja Squirrel stage burning with determination. He couldn't let a simple obstacle course stop him! What kind of troll was he if he couldn't climb ropes and boxes and jump over perilous situations? A bad one, that's what! Or so he felt, anyway, as he stood looking over the course and psyching himself up for several rounds until it was his turn.
Apparently, that sort of motivation was what he needed; he flew along the log grip, though the spinning log gave his lack of balance a bit of a test. After that, however, the little blueblood flung himself with fiercely impressive movements, conquering the course obstacle by obstacle. Even when he was certain his body was going to break, he still pushed himself onward, though he did land in a collapsed heap at the end of it.
It didn't matter that he was exhausted, though; what mattered was that he made it.
"Ohhhhhh nmghnfgm my head..." Amonee woke up on the sidelines of the ninja course, clutching his head before waving away medical attention. The only thing that would cheer him up right now was his cuddle buddy the goo beast. Staggering over to the cage (?) where his was, Amonee pressed his hands against it and felt soothed by the presence of his darling dear pet.

Amo and Lutrin sing this while dancing around the goo beast booth?
"Agh these steps!" Nucleo'd cleared most of the course until he reached the Devil Steps at the end. Exhausted, he lacked the stamina to continue on and tapped out. Swaying as his muscles ached, he walked over to the prizes counter and stayed there to catch his breath.

"Am I gonna have to feed you when you're done?" Nucleo wondered aloud, realizing he didn't really know much about what maintenance these goobeasts would require when they were finished. Unsure, he thought about asking the booth owner but they looked busy playing with some of their own goo. He didn't want to interrupt that kind of quality time and decided to ask next time.
After that rousing adventure, the pumped up little blueblood was lucky to be exhausted. It meant that he remembered to feed his experiment instead of running off to burn out excess energy!

The courses were getting longer and longer ... and Kaldru was even more determined to take them on. It didn't matter if his body ached and his lungs felt like they were being squeezed; it didn't matter if his spongeclots were ringing with the sound of his own blood pumping through them even before he reached the end of the obstacles. What mattered was pushing himself and getting through the course, which he did.
Honestly, as he flopped over once his time was called, the little blueblood didn't know why he was trying so hard. It wasn't like he needed to, but every day he came back had him driving harder to finish the courses. Maybe he wanted to make his teacher proud; maybe he just wanted to know that he could do it. Whatever it was, though, it was definitely wearing him out. With how much his body ached right then, how in the world was he going to finish out the last of the game?
Etsali was going to have to see if she could talk the recipe for these bars out of Lutrin, because somehow they seemed to give just enough push to get through tough obstacles when she needed. Or maybe she just liked snacking on them before getting to work and she was justifying the fact. Either way she'd made it a lot further than even she was expecting, since many of the obstacles seemed like they would be easier for trolls built with more solid strength.
It was the mark of a thief, or a ninja, to be able to overcome such obstacles though! She pressed on, pulling through many times just one or two steps from failure, until finally she found herself at the Warped Wall, so worn out she could barely stand to think about trying it. She wasn't about to give up though, exhausted or not!
The fall was expected, but at least she'd given it her best shot.
Score:84 (she's pounding two ENERGY DRINKS so shes got the stamina! if she can only have one energy drink doe-wasn't sure- she would have a score of 80?) Failed: NONE Feats Used: NOPE Feats Remaining: 2 Ninja Nuts:23nn - 4nn(ENERGY DRINKS CHUG CHUG)= 19nn + 9nn = 28nn!
After the near run in with a certain purpleblood at the bikini booth, Zeylla need something to shake off some of the nerves she was feeling. She just couldn't get over the fact that she was one one of those posters. It was unwelcome and made her feel like she was consistently being watched. But as she neared the obstacle courses, Zeylla let the anxiety of that situation fade as she focused on the challenge before her.
She could already tell this was going to be a tough one, and bought some energy drinks off a strange troll(was it the same troll running the course, she was almost certain it was) before taking a stab at it.
And a stab she did take, and another and another and another. She found the energy coursing through her from the drinks and the relief she instantly felt for the stress of the poster situation helped push her along. Even the spinning logs that had been her struggle the times before were a breeze, and as the greyblood landed on the ending platform, she felt her chest burning and her legs aching, but she still felt amazing! This was good exercise, and was definitely keeping Zeylla in fit on her stay away from the fronds. She hopped down off the course, wondering where to go next.
After his great success with the course yesterday, Amonee was raring to go again. He needed to get fit in order to explore even more of Alternia. Unfortunately though, his mind kept wandering off to the problems back at his own booth and he screwed up the Devils Steps, failing to progress through less that half the course. Demoralized from his failures, he turned to pay a visit to his goo friend only to realize that he'd been put into incubation and was unavailable for cuddling anymore. Tearfully, he decided to buy himself a sparkly ninja headband for comfort instead.
"One ninja band please. Can you make the tie part pink?" He did a poor job masking his sadness. When asked, he sniffled out-
"Oh I just miss my little Globonee so much! He's incubating..."
