The end was near. Several racers were closing in on the finish line - this time, it seemed like the focus was mostly on moving forward, with no stops to attack the other students. Lorelai, trying to catch up with a few of the quicker racers, was making her way past a few of the more lively obstacles.

Unit 14 – Mosp
Evasion DC: 25

50% chance to attack Lorelai.
The mosp decides not to strike.

A mosp's life was one of constant work, and when a break was afforded to one, it took it. The mosp decided that, rather than racing after Lorelai to try and sting her, it would simply wait for her to fly past. As long as nobody tried to bug the bug with any enticing flowers, it really had no reason to do anything other than sit in its nest and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

Unit 15 – Easy Trees
Accuracy DC: 10

Lorelai’s autofail: 3d4 (3,3,2)
Lorelai’s accuracy: d20(5,8,3) - 4 Spd + 6 Acc = 7, 10, 5 Two failures!

50 damage for Lorelai.

Fly to the left. Two smacks this time. Lorelai flew through the ugly tree and mercifully struck only two branches, leaving her bruised but not broken and she sailed onward toward an uncomfortably invisible crowd of wrackspurts. Plug your nose and ears!

Unit 16 – Wrackspurt
Wisdom DC: 20

Lorelai autofail: 1d4 (2)
Lorelai’s wisdom: d20(1) + 9 Wis = 10 Failed

10% spellcasting autofail for Lorelai.

Well, can't avoid everything. Lorelai flew on through the course with an uninvited guest in her noggin, a floaty and mysterious wrackspurt finding a comfortable spot in her spacious skull to snuggle up for tea. That would make it hard for the racer to cast spells, but it did wonders for relieving anxiety and reducing overthinking. Or thinking at all. But the attention of the spectators was not an the invisible challenges being faced by Lorelai - but rather the very visible challenge between Mikael and Chiaki, separating each team from their shot at victory.

Unit 19 – Hard Vines, Devil’s Snare
Accuracy DC: 19
Strength DC: 17
Wisdom DC: 18

Mikael’s autofail: 1d4(1) Autofail, Mikael is stuck.

Chiaki’s wisdom: d20(10) + 9 Wis = 19 Passed
Chiaki’s strength: d20(14) + 14 = 28 Freedom!

Chiaki escapes the vines.

When it came down to it, this was the most important piece of the entire race - and Chiaki had broken free and come out ahead. Crossing the finish line alone, the race would be called in favor of the interschool team - drawing applause from the majority of the stadium, and a few spiteful-sounding exclamations in a few different language from the Durmstrang fans.
