Holy Grail Race - Report from the Front Lines

Posted by Prescott on November 12, 2009

The Quest for the Holy Grail Adventure Race was this past weekend… this just in.

The Guardian Bunny was defeated, not once but twice.  It was epic.  Team Moosen was dynamite!  They swept in and wiped the bunny out with 21 Battle Power to his 12.  But… Team Ravens, not content to lose in such a way, went back out into the game area to locate the very powerful “Rewind” card, that allows a team to rewind the last action taken.  After sprinting around the game map, they returned with the card, unwound the last round of battle, cut in front of Team Moosen, and played the “Lightning Bolt” card.  Lightning Bolt allows them to win one round of battle instantly.  Much rejoicing from Team Ravens, much bummerness from Team Moosen.

Nevertheless, with their 21 Battle Power, Team Moosen made quick work of the remaining teams in their Battle-Off for 2nd place.  So, both Team Moosen and Team Ravens took home a large trophy cup full of Skittles.  Very cool.

Almost more interesting, were the actions of Team Catapulting Rocks, who attempted to take home both the Troop 16 Cup and the 1st Year Team Cup, with their surprise playing of the “Chill” card on Team Raven, which makes a team sit down for 5 minutes and do nothing.  However, Team Moosen possessed a card that made them resistant.  And, we determined that the 1st Year Teams couldn’t steal the Troop 16 Cup anyway, since they are essentially in different leagues.  It would have been like a Canadian Football team trying to win the Superbowl.

A very successful day and incredibly tasty pig feasting followed - thanks to a team led by Mr. Jimerson, Mr. Santy, and Mr. Brainard.  It should also be mentioned that Mrs. Denton, Mrs. Worby, and others made it possible for all the participants (racers and referees) to remain on the race course by preparing many dozens of individually packaged lunches.  Thanks to everyone involved.

…now back to your regular scheduled programming.
