Terra kept trudging on--only to blink as a snowball hit her in the chest. A gnome-- She snarled, but it was rather unimpressive considering her face was pretty much frozen in place.

"Yep," Nahm said thoughtfully as the door revealed a blowing snowfield. "Part of the test. I wonder what we're being tested on here?" He tugged his robes and hood tighter around his bony frame and started off into the snow.
A snowball whacked into the back of his head. He spit a curse and whirled around to look for the perpetrator, but nobody was in sight except for the three reapers taking the exam with him. He gave his fellow students a suspicious look, but he didn't really think it was any of their faults.
The next step he took, he overbalanced and almost fell as his foot sank deeper than he expected ... right into a pool of freezing water. A pool of freezing water that was deep enough to come right up over the top of his boot and pour down into it, soaking his sock. He hissed with irritation.

As he pulled his foot up out of the freezing pool under the snow and forged onwards, another snowball came whizzing out of nowhere to smack solidly between his shoulders. Nahm's eyes narrowed. He tried to ignore it.
A faintly-heard sound behind Nahm had him jerking to one side in an attempt to dodge another snowball. Instead, he just tripped and fell face-first into the snow, some of which worked its way into his hood and down under his scarf to slither down into his shirt.

The grue picked himself up with a growl and slogged on through the snow. He was getting closer to the other side of the field.
Then his other foot plunged down into another icy puddle, again just deep enough to slop in over the top of his boot. Now both his feet were icy cold and wet, and he snarled under his breath with irritation.
Another snowball whizzed past his head. Nahm jerked his head around to look for the culprit again. This time, he spotted a gnome, scuttling across the snow with a snowball in its crusty little hand. Gnomes. Jacking gnomes. Nahm lunged after the thing with a snarl. You couldn't eat citizens, but gnomes weren't citizens, and the grue had every intention of snacking on the nasty little thing to soothe his annoyance.

Another snowball hit the freezing reaper ghoul straight in the face--she was really starting to dislike gnomes, Terra thought as she trudged on, trying to rub some warmth into her arms and just getting colder because her hands were frozen.

Then she tripped again and fell flat in the snow--frozen foot, frozen boogers, and all.
She utterly blamed it on the gnomes, she thought as she laid there for a moment. The gnomes and that M.M. person. She did not like this M.M.

Finally, though, Terra made it to the other side, bombarded by snowballs the entire way and shaking so hard that her teeth threatened to fall out. She snuffled loudly, looking very much like a drowned cat as the snow had melted just a bit from her bodyheat and her thin clothing was now soaked.
"I--I--I--di--did--did--" she chattered, trying to speak but failing, she was so cold.
Nahm looked at Terra, sighed, and took off his long, ragged outer robe to wrap it around the little reaper. He would be a little chillier himself in just the layers he wore underneath, but letting Terra fall over from hypothermia would just look bad.

Terra gave him a grateful smile--then promptly hugged him. "It is warmer if we hud--huddle," she explained, shivering massively even with the cloak. She was FREEZING!

Huddling didn't seem like a bad idea....Millie was soaked from all the snowballs.
She put her bookbag out in front of her at arm's length. It was still closed, so surely the notebooks inside were still good?
Opening the bag and trying not to drip on them, Millie pulled out four relatively dry notebooks and dropped the leather bag on the ground and frowned at what was probably their best option.
"Anyone have a pencil?" Millie asked the group. "Or some other long slender object that they don't mind losing? Wood works best with fire spells, so the pen I brought with isn't really useful for enchanting...."

When the students finally reached the other side, they would discover something very crucial:
There was still no one there and now there was an enormous pool of wa -
- was that a fin.
DIRECTIONS
There are four boats. You must each pick a boat to ride across the water in (more than one person can pick the same boat oocly, icly you'd just each be in your own).
002. EACH BOAT HAS 25 BASE HP / 12 BASE STRENGTH / 12 BASE SPEED. When you make your choice, please follow the guidelines below:
CHOICE ONE:
Boat #1
This boat has +4 strength, -4 speed.
CHOICE TWO:
Boat #2
This boat has +4 speed, -4 strength
CHOICE THREE:
Boat #3
This boat has +2 strength, +2 speed, -5 HP.
CHOICE FOUR:
Boat #4
This boat gets x1 auto revival.
** APPLY THESE CHANGES TO YOUR BASES!! **
003. You must BATTLE your way across the sea! It is your newest (and coldest - literally) enemy! Defeating it successfully means you have managed to get across it and can move onto the next
004. THE BOSS HAS 50 HP. *** After EVERY SINGLE PERSON has posted, you will roll 1d4 *** This is the AUTO DAMAGE done by the "boss" for each of you! So after all four of you have posted, roll for damage. You roll a 2. Every person now has 2 damage to their boat. All four of you post again. You roll damage again, etc. etc.
After that, attack as normal (2d6 - 6 for Y1, 2d8-6 for Y2, 2d10-6 for Y3, etc)!
** If your BOAT HP gets below 10 and your boat speed is ABOVE 10, you may roll 1d100 to try and speed quickly through! 75 and above means you were successful! Otherwise, unfortunately, you still gotta fight.
** If your BOAT HP gets below 10 and your boat strength is ABOVE 10, you may roll 2d20 - 6 to try and beast through with a powerful attack! You may do this TWICE.
** IF YOUR BOAT HP GETS DOWN TO 0, unless you have Boat #4's benefit, you have fallen into the lake and oops need to be rescued better find a friend who can pull you into their boat.
Any questions, please message me! (hopefully this isn't too confusing aldkfds)
