A little leap-frog, a little pinball bumpers! It's up to you to make it from platform to platform as quickly as you can to cross between Point A and Point B. There's a set of six bumpers angled at 45 degrees. It's going to take a lot of agility to complete this run, although strength might come into play if you find yourself falling.
1 - Your shoe(s) are wet, but you didn't fall in! Hope you enjoy the sound of squish, squish, squish on the road to Victory! 2 - We saw you slip there! Take an extra second to catch your breath, you might need it. 3 - Bumpy start, but after the third bumper you've finally gotten the hang of it! It might just be smooth sailing through the last three. Maybe. 4 - You'd make this look easy... If you were a frog. Or something that leapt better. But you're not, so it doesn't look easy, but at least it's not painful to watch? 5 - Alright! That's the way you do it! 6 - Flawless.
Jump up and grab on, you're in for a ride! Use your strength to keep your grip as you slide down the track. Holding on is only the first part of this trip, though. The important part is that you stick your landing as you launch off the end towards your next step...
If you roll 1-2 and have chosen strength as your modifier: Your strength is on your side and you hold on tight for the ride! Congrats! For this segment your roll is now 3. If you roll 5 or 6 and have chosen strength as your modifier: Add +1 to roll #3 for the Pipe Fitter. Who knew you'd be able to launch yourself that far after hanging on so tight? If you roll 5 or 6 and have chosen agility as your modifier: Add +1 to roll #3 for the Pipe Fitter. Nice air time, bro.
1 - You've managed to grab on with one hand before the bar starts to slide. Uh oh. Hold on tight! Keep your grip! DON'T FALL. 2 - Two hands. TWO HANDS. You get a second hand onto the bar but can you keep your grip? 3 - You've got the grip, but do you have the air? It doesn't look like it, bro. Are your hands starting to slip? -1 to roll #3 for the Pipe Fitter [1 is the lowest you can roll]. 4 - Alright! Arms might be a little sore, but at least you're holding on! 5 - This is how we do it. Were you a roller-coaster in a past life? 6 - Flawless
Launch from the end of the dipper and grab on! The higher up you latch on to the foam pipe the less of a climb you'll have before it's time to swing. Again, you're going to need your strength to support you as you sway across two trapeze-style pipe bars. Time your leaps just right and you'll be able to shimmy down the trunk at the end where you'll have a moment to catch your breath and prepare your balance.
If you roll 1-3 and have chosen agility as your modifier: Launching through the air is the easy part, it's holding on that's kind of awful.
If you roll 1-3 and have chosen strength as your modifier: You've got no problem holding on, but are you really going to make that jump between swings?
1 - You almost missed the first trapeze! You're going to land in the water if you don't get your act together! 2 - You can't just climb up onto the first trapeze and sit there all day... Other people want to run the course too. 3 - Dipper a little rough on you? Making it a little harder to hold on? You can do it! Keep telling yourself that. 4 - Don't look down. Oh no... You looked down. 5 - Look at you shimmy and shake! Now get on to the next round! 6 - Flawless
It had seemed like a good idea at first. Kaileen had seen shows like it on TV. The whole time when contestions were going though the mazes she kept telling hersself:"I can do that." She would sit there and think about all the things that she could have down differently. Where in the challenging maze of obstacles she would bail out. She studied some of the obstacles and took down notes. She was pretty sure she was fast. But she knew for a fact that she had no upper body strength. So any kind of lifting or climbing would be a total no go for her. She pinched her muscles, or lack there of. She jumped when she heard a buzzer go off. Oh yeah it was her turn. She looked at the first maze challenge in front of her. All she had to was make it across to the other side. There was six platforms rising out of the water that was below them. All She had to do was jump across them as fast as she could not stopping. Leap frog like. She took a deep breath and jumped from one platform to the next. She tried not stop and just try to make it to the other side as quickly as possible.
She got accoss to the other side and breathed a sigh of relef. Then she looked at the next obstacle and shooked her head. : "No upper body strength"
She told herself that after this when she goes home she was going to start working out at the gym. Do some lifts. She looked at the crowd. Her family was there to see her. She frowned. Something told her that brothers were just there to laugh and poke fun at all. It was all good sibling fun. She looked up at the bar and told herself she could do it. She reached up and took the bar and started swinging back and forth. Despite her lack of strength she was able to move the bar a little further. All She edid was take her time and move the bar up and up. She wasn't sure about a timer or being timed but she took her time. Stopping to breath and just hang. She was almost there. Her arms hurted like heck. Shee felt nothing but pain. She made it across. She couldn't believe that she made it across that obstacle.
She looked over at the next obstacle and smiled. She got this one in the bag. Climbing was her ish.
She jumped up and grabed unto the first big pipe that she saw and shimmed her way up to the top. She swung her body and reahed out for the next tiny pipe. She grabed unto it and swung her legs up to hold on to it. She made her way to the next small pipe. She Spidermaned her way on over to it and droped her legs. She got closer to it and reached out for it.
She made it across the obstacle. She couldn't believe she made it this far.
"Three more to go."
She turned to ward the next one. It was kinda built like the first course but instead of being tilted they were rotating blocks. She'll have to do like the first one and run across. She waited and watched the movement of the titles. Once she saw that there was a period where they all lined up she waited for them to do it again. She started to run across them as soon as they did. She smiled.
She made the mistake of taking her eyes from seeing where she was going. She had turned toward the crowd to seek out her family.
One moment she was halfway across the course. The next she found herself in the water below.
She came up for air and shooked her head.
"I almost there. I almost made it across."
She glared at the area in the spectators where her family was. She blamed them for this. She got out of the water and accepted the towel that was giving her. She was happy that she made it as far as she did. She felt rather proud of herself.
