Norman’s bluish-green eyes scanned the group as it split off into smaller teams. He was hardly surprised to see the Anders siblings working together. Elsewhere, he saw Fox teamed up with Khanna, and it looked like Schultz was flying solo. Mentally keeping track of the teams, he watched them work. As he observed, he overheard some sound strategies, but he refrained from commenting on them. The point of the game was for them to figure out what worked on their own!

Something that did warrant a verbal response? Javier’s comments. Norman had to stifle a chuckle as the potions master voiced exactly what he was thinking. He was mostly joking when he asked his colleagues about student vs professor teams, though he might’ve allowed it to happen if enough people got behind the idea. While he was confident he could hold his own to the students, he had no intention of actually playing. He was the mastermind behind this game; it wouldn’t be fair if he took part in it. Besides, someone needed to referee! “Thanks for helping me hold down the fort, Javier,” he replied with a polite nod.

A quick glance of his watch told Norman it was time to move on. “Right, that’s enough strategizing!” He addressed the group. “You may begin at the sound of my whistle. First team to get everyone across the pit without touching the balls wins.” Hear that, kids? All team members must cross for the win to count.

“On your marks, get set, GO!” The whistle’s shrill blast echoed throughout the corridor, signaling the start of the game.

OOC: So sorry for the delay… rl work kicked my butt this week!

The game has begun; here’s a quick recap of the rules:

- The balls in the pit are “lava”. Touch the balls, and your character must return to the starting line.
- First team to cross without touching the balls wins. Every member of the team must cross.
- Transfigure the objects into something to help your team cross using any combination of Temran Madera, Palus, and/or Taque. Any nails transfigured with Taque are for construction purposes only!
- Please indicate in the title of your post what your character(s) is doing (e.g. transfiguring, crossing the pit, touching a ball & starting over). This will help me keep track of the teams.

Happy playing! Let us know if you have any IC or OOC questions.
