Right, the lesson was more than half over now, so it was time to move on to the game Isabelle had planned. It was fairly simple really, but she would still need to explain it fully due to the fact it was in the lake. And as she found out, a few of the kids were less than enthusiastic about getting wet. Not that she actually wanted them to, that wasn't part of her plans. But the best way to see if they could master a spell was to use it in the way it was meant to be used - boating on the lake. Or rather boat racing each other on the lake. As they were about to find out.

"Okay everyone, time to get to the part of the lesson that I hope will be fun." Not that the rest of it hadn't been. She hoped. "The game on the lake. I'm going to split you into two teams, evenly and not divided by house either, and each team has a pole with eight ribbons on, as you can see," Issy gestured out into the lake. The ribbons were blowing in the breeze, waiting to be plucked off their cross pole and brought back to land. "The object of the game, or race essentially, is that each member of your team has to transfigure a coracle before they set off. They then have to paddle up to the pole, remove a ribbon, go around the pole and paddle back, tagging the next member of their team to go. Who will then repeat the process." Isabelle looked around at the faces, hoping she was being clear enough.

"After each lap I will revert your coracle back to a stick so you'll have to transfigure it again on your next go. Each person has to go around twice, even when there are no ribbons left, you still need to do a lap, but you are only allowed to grab ONE RIBBON EACH. So either on your first lap or your second, but not on both. The team that completes it first will be the winners, and will get an extra five points per person. Does anyone have any questions?"

OOC: Basically I hope the IC instuctions make sense as to what your characters need to do, but as for you OOC, please make sure you also do the following

SPOILER!!: OOC INSTRUCTIONS

OOC: Basically I hope the IC instuctions make sense as to what your characters need to do, but as for you OOC, please make sure you also do the following SPOILER!!: OOC INSTRUCTIONS Look for your name in the first post as that will tell you which team you are on, and who your team mates are. Please wear the avvie provided for the duration of this game, so everyone else can see at a glance which team you are in. When making a post please put the number of ribbons that are left in the subject bar of your post (deducting 1 if you are grabbing one in that post). eg... "6 ribbons left" - so the next RPer from your team knows how many there are. Please also say which lap you are on in the subject line - "Lap 1, now 4 ribbons left" for example. So i know where we are in the game and can update the first post with how many laps your character has done, and the next poster from your team knows how ribbons still need collecting. Your part of the course (the two laps for your character) has to be done in at least two RP posts, one per lap. You can do more depending on how much time you have to RP and how you wish to do it. But they need to really be as descriptive as possible, and include you transfiguring the coracle, paddling out, getting the ribbon, coming back and tagging the next person. Do not RP for anyone else. When you change over just say you tagged someone, please don't say who because you never know who will want to post next. Any questions at all please ask me via VM or PM :-) __________________ Last edited by MeredithRodneyMckay; 07-20-2012 at 07:59 PM.
