 Five rounds. Five rounds, and she was DONE. Her fourth and fifth, looking back, had to have been her best- she'd managed a perfect run, after all! Staggering off when she made it off the log free of harm, the exhausted girl paused next to Master Chief- looking up to him with a weary grin, she gave him a thumbs up.
"Hope you're a little less angry and a little more proud of this camper, Master Chief- sir. That fourth one was for you." Still grinning, even as she bumbled off, there was a part of Annabel teeming with undeniable pride. Holy hell, she'd done it- five rounds, instead of the damn required one. Slinking toward Beaver cabin, the punk could honestly hold her head high.
Hopefully, Ozzie could make it without her. She was exhausted, and so help her god, even CHEF better watch out if someone tried to keep her from getting some rest.

 As his paws reached solid ground, Nigel opened his eyes slowly. He’d made it! Again! Grinning back at the alligators he offered them a polite ‘see ya later’ nod before making his way over to the last obstacle.
A log? Over a ball pit? That just seemed far too easy. It was only after he saw the angry looking beavers wandering around and the camper before him being shot at with seagulls that Nigel started to doubt his chances.
Wrapping his front paws around the log he gripped on tightly as he began to inch his way along. Doing his best to dodge the flying seagulls and trying not to anger the already temperamental beavers as he went.

 ozzie paused on the far side of the log and caught his breath. he couldn't believe he had made it once all the way through without falling into a trap. he watched after annabel as she first addressed chef, then headed down the path towards the main part of camp. he wanted to head after her, but still had one more run around the obstacle course and he was feeling as confident as he ever would.
while he had the rhythms and tricks down for making it through each of the legs of the course fresh in his mind, ozzie pressed on. he'd catch up to belbel later on and let her know how he did. he hoped it was well so he'd have good news to report!
first up, that darn wire crawl. thankfully this would be the last time he'd have to scoot around on his belly for awhile (or, he certainly hoped that was the case!)

Just as he was about to reach the end Nigel was hit straight in the side of the head with a rather irritated seagull. Loosing his grip as the confused bird flapped about in his face, he and the seagull went tumbling into the pit of colourful plastic balls.
With a sigh Nigel looked over to the seagull that had landed beside him, “Well, at least there’s nothing nasty in here hmm?” with a friendly smile he helped the dazed bird out of the pit before climbing out himself and preparing to start over again.
This time he tried to get a better grip on the log as he began to pull himself along, and cleared his mind of everything that was around him, focusing solely on the other side of the pit.

ozzie shimmied out from under the wire crawl. he shook the accumulated mud and dust off his clothes and fur as best he could, then found his same, trusty foot holds on the cliff face. he didn't have annabel to talk to this round, but he managed the first few times through on his own and hoped this climb would be no different. he scaled the wall as quickly as he felt safe doing.

ozzie very nearly smiled as he pulled himself over the ledge of the cliff. it turned out his favorite of the four legs of the course was the one he had never faulted on. "i but jackson'd never believe me if i told him i climbed it all on my own five times 'n never fell or anything!" he said aloud to no one in particular. now he was off to the gator pond. he hoped that the creature that grabed his tail previously was otherwise occupied.
he took hold of the rope up high for the last time, wrapped it carefully around his paw, and banzaii-leaped across the pond while he made sure his legs and tail were tucked up against his body.

Nigel ducked his head quickly as he dodged yet another angry seagull and in the process he lost his focus and slipped, tumbling into the ball pit once again.
Sighing he just lay there for a few moments before pulling himself out of the pit once more. This time he decided to focus on something else. To just ignore the slapping/angry beavers and the seagull guns completely and just focus on the nice warm shower and hot cup of tea he could have when he got back to the cabin.

"eyerps!" ozzie gulped as his paw got tangled in the rope and his arm got yanked quite painfully. it took another full swing and a half before he was able to free himself and drop back to the starting shore. he clasped his arm against his chest and breathed through the worst of the pain. "criiiipes cripes cripes!" he hissed.
well, now he was alone and in pain. great! ozzie knew that he had to finish - he came this far and only had the two obstacles left. he surveyed the situation, and came up with a solution. with his good paw, an elbow and his teeth, he managed to fashion a large, crude knot at the bottom of the rope. he then hooked his good arm around the rope, and stood on the knot. he then swung back and forth to gain speed and momentum, and jumped as soon as he had enough clearance.

Nigel sighed with relief as he finally reached the other side of the pit. It was all over, thank goodness! Though part of him wanted to give the course another go…maybe after a short break and a quick trip to the confessional he might just do that.
Wandering back towards the cabins Nigel hoped none of his fellow team members would get hurt when it was their turn to run the course.

mercifully, ozzie landed on the shore, and managed to avoid bumping his injured paw. only one challenge left, one which ozzie had mixed results in during previous runs. he wondered how his luck would go during this lap.
thankfully, the log challenge required only his butt and feet. he waited and watched while the green fellow before him crossed over, then swung himself up onto the log. he slowly scooted across, taking care to avoid projectile seagulls above and the territorial beavers below. "he-hey guys down there, 'm actually a beaver too! well, i'm in the beavers cabin at least. so could you please be careful?"

as he felt the log collapse underneath him, ozzie closed his eyes and waited for the impact into the ball pit below. his back took the brunt of it, so when he lay there for a moment it was mainly to catch his breath from the exertion of the previous rounds. (as much as he actually liked the cliff climb, it wore him out something fierce).
he climbed out of the pit, and repositioned himself on the log. "ok, ozzie, a 'lil faster this time." he told himself as he scootched across.

he...he made it. he actually made it through five rounds without killing himself. twenty obstacles in all, one perfect round and the rest actually not too shabby! while he knew he could have done a little better, this was the best he had done in any challenge so far (except maybe the crossword challenge), and he was relieved to think that he probably helped his fellow beavers out quite a bit.
in the meantime, he really needed to get some rest and give his paw a break. he skirted around chef and then headed down the same path annabel had moments earlier to go back to his bed in the beaver cabin and take a good long nap.

Luna was up at the first obstical. She was a bit hesitant, only because of her stupid mistakes on the last challenge. Taking a deep breath she plopped down on her belly. The mud felt nice and cool. "Hey I can get used to this!" she thought with a twisted grin. Crawling in the mud wasn't good for skirts, but oh well! That was the least of her worries now.....
Reaching the end, she stood up. A few bits of her skirt were missing and she cursed aloud. "Aaw ********." she mumbled as she yanked it down to cover bits of herself. At least she had made it through right?

Next up was the cliff. How hard could that be? It was just a cliff right? Taking a deep breath, Luna wandered up to the base of the cliff and paused to look up. "Ho-le hell thats high!" she gulped and rubbed her paws together. Extending her claws she dug them into the face of the cliff. "Well...here goes nothing!" she said as she took a deep breath and began to make the climb....
Looking back down over the cliff, Luna gave a sigh of relieve. Two down.... Two to go.

Gator pits. Oh joy! As if Luna hadn't had her fill of gators from the previous challenge. At least they were still cute, she didn't care what anyone else said. But this time she didn't want to be jumping in to snuggle them. No she had a mission to make up for. Sighing, she rubbed the back of her head before grabbing a hold of the rope. "Ok. I can do it." she chanted to herself before she backed up and took off.... still clinging desperately to the rope.
She had made it, but just barley! Mumbling some rather loud curse words, she plopped down on her a** and took a breather. "Man I thought I was doomed! I almost fell off!" she mumbled. She was quite literally almost at hte end of the rope. She managed to bring some good luck to this course. Lets hope it continued....
