Default Giant Lilypad Jumping!


A section of the lake has been especially set up for a round of Giant Lilypad Jumping. The Victoria Amazonica has been grown especially for the event and have been strategically arranged at the edge of the lake. The water here is relatively shallow, so you do not run the risk of drowning or being dragged beneath the surface by the lakes inhabitants.

Each of the lilypads are numbered, and each of them also have a value assigned to them. These may vary from one point to four points, and the aim of the game is to make it across the lake from the starting position to the finishing line at the opposite end where you jump back onto dry land. Everyone wins a prize, but depending on the number of points you accumulate will determine how good a prize you receive.

Though it may seem easy enough you should tread carefully. The lilypads might be big, and are certainly capable of holding your weight, but they are also slightly slippery and a little springy underfoot. At any rate if you do fall in the late and get wet, then it will be a refreshing wake up call. If this happens, just pull yourself back up and have another crack --even if you are wet.

Be sure to pace yourselves as this task is quite a feat, especially considering the sheer size of these GIANT lilypads. Balance is key. Good luck competitors.
SPOILER!!: Prizes!

  3. You may not use magic to gain an advantage or to disadvantage others.

  7. When jumping onto the lilypads you must state in the RP what number the lily has been assigned (not the value-- only staff members know what the value is)

  9. The prizes will be announced at the end of the event.
  10. Most importantly, have fun.
