The grand banners of Gondor have been for the short while replaced with the flags of the different kingdoms as a small track was laid out for those the animal racers that would be gracing the city of Minas Tirith and all of it's levels. Near the great gates of the city the race track began with places for spectators and vendors of tasty foods to watch throughout the entire city.
There were many great rows of crates, each row a different size, and flagged with different colours, with the names of the kingdom over them. There was quite a ruckus in a few of them as some of the animals knew it was time to race and they were quite excited, others were lazy lumps and fast asleep. All of the crates held animals that any person might use to race for that particular kingdom should they not have their own.
Imladris crates hold hedgehogs and are posted under the colour #408080 (Teal)
Lothlorien crates hold foxes and are posted under the colour #00BFFF (Light Blue)
Khazad Dum crates hold badgers and are posted under the colour #808080 (Grey)
Gondor crates hold skunks and are posted under the colour BLACK (No colour code required)
Rohan crates hold raccoons and are posted under the colour #00BF00 (Light Green)
Shire crates hold coneys and are posted under the colour #800080 (Purple)
Fangorn crates hold squirrels and are posted under the colour #008000 (Green)
Isengard crates hold rats (of ususal size) and are posted under the colour #0040FF (Royal Blue)
Mordor crates hold snakes and are posted under the colour #800000 (Dark Red)
And if you have any questions please visit the race announcing booth and ask!

OOC: Well, I'm back! Thanks for the extension to finish this
Nemesis
Shooting away from the starting line Nemesis soon left the gates of the city behind her as she wound through the streets. The stalls lining the street were a momentary diversion, one she quickly grew bored with when she couldn't find one selling mice or rats, though she had to wonder just what kind of backward town had they come to that didn't sell anything yummy to snack on? A lumbering oaf that seemed to be manning the stall selling the dead fruit and plants (crazy humans) made the mistake of trying to shoo her with his broom (how dare he??); hissing and puffing in outrage Nemesis wound herself around his ankles just as he tried to dance out of reach of her lunge. Timber! She couldn't but be delighted at the resounding crash as he fell practically through his stupid cart, and to add insult to (his) injury the carefully piled mounds of fruit came crashing down on his head and rolled merrily away through the street and into the crowd. Chuckling to herself she slalomed her way through the new obstacle course on the track before passing through the next gate.
She was making good progress when she heard the nauseating squealing from the crowd; "Snakey, Mama, Mama, look at the snakey!" The high pitched squeaks of the small child were very tempting, she couldn't resist coiling herself to raise her head, eyes locked with intent on her next snack, hissing in delight as the crowd screamed and its mother dragged the snack away. So much fun! But she had Nerys' words ringing in her head, something about not killing before the end of the race, and blah, blah, ba blah blah, Morgoth knew that woman just went on and on, so with a flick of her tail Nemesis turned herself back to the race and the search for the next ankles! Nothing had been said about ankles, or at least she hadn't listened to anything about ankles ... that was the same thing, right?
Ooh now these were a tasty pair, and belonging to a guardsmen no less. She kept getting flashes through the crowd as he walked briskly along the street, heading in the same direction as the race. Eyes flicking between the track and the guard she debated her options, she couldn't see any of the other racers nearby so surely there was time for just a little chomp? Seeing her chance as the guard turned into a small courtyard she wound through the crowd by its entrance, relishing the screams and shouts as they all tried to move away from her; seriously mice had better survival instincts as they all moved against each other in the narrow space, pushing and shoving and causing such a ruckus that the guard came rushing over. In the commotion and quick moving ankles she had to move fast to avoid being stepped on, but she soon spotted the pair she wanted, and with a quick lunge and bite victory was hers! Settling for injecting just a little venom so she could still use the cover of the crowd to slink away as the guard collapsed, Nemesis puffed in delight as she re-joined the race. Fun, fun, fun!
3 A rolls and 2 B rolls please!

Nemesis
Curses!! No sooner had she approached the next gate but she had been ambushed by the cowardly humans, how dare they manhandle her like a common animal! No matter how much Nemesis hissed and spat, twisting and coiling in the sack, she couldn't get free. With a huff she subsided, settling heavily against the bottom of the bag as she desperately tried to think of a way out. Morgoth only knew where they were taking her, and with the folds of material muffling the guards voices, she had little chance of waiting for an opportunity to escape, she would have to create one herself. Where before it had felt like the bag was suspended in air as they walked now it felt like she was resting against something as they came to a standstill. Well it wasn't as fun as ankles, but what choice did she have? As soon as her fangs sank through the bag she heard a great bellow as the sack seemed to take flight. Hitting the floor with a thud she quickly forced her way out of the sack, but where to now?
Footsteps and angry voices were quickly approaching so she took the only opportunity guaranteed to lose them, lunging towards a nearby wall up, up, up she went. Her scales gripping the stone as surely as it would the bark of any tree she pushed her way up the wall of the tower. Ooh now this was fun! But where was the race; nothing looked familiar as Nemesis swung her head, forked tongue tasting the air for familiar scents ... what was that she's seen? Just two streets over she spotted what could only be the track, assuming there would be no other reason for a badger and a hedgehog to be running through the streets, now she just needed to make her way over and dodge the angry humans still clustered at the foot of the tower.
Her gaze soon snagged on the ropes running between the buildings, each seemed to have pieces of fabric hanging from them, but that wouldn't stop her. Nemesis slid easily from the roof to the rope, the humans below giving chase as soon as they spotted her. Now she had an entourage! If she wasn't so intent on finishing the race, Nemesis would have preened in delight; finally someone was recognising her greatness. Sadly her fans were soon left behind as she darted across the roofs, the shouting voices quickly fading; sure she must be near to the finish line now she gave one last push as she hit the track again.
5 A rolls please!

Alagion with Fragrant Flower
Fragrant Flower scuttled up the raceway in excellent form until suddenly a snake slithered by. I was pretty fast for a creature that did not have legs. Not wanting to disappoint his human, the skunk concentrated on all the training techniques he had been taught and began to pick up speed. The paved roadway was like smooth silk to his feet, unlike the rough forest floor, and he moved quickly up towards the next gate.
3 A rolls and 3 B rolls, please.

@Afird Splitax Alagion with Fragrant Flower the Skunk (3 A Rolls, 3 B rolls -3, 4, 3, 17,4, 18) +3, -2, +3, -3,-1,-1 In all the action Flower gets lost and ends up going the complete wrong direction and are at the wrong gate how do they figure that out?
Being a skunk is hard, and there are guards trying to chase you away how does your racer convince them to let him go? ALL of that handled, you find a butterfly and go trotting off after it, where does the butterfly lead you?
Standings:
Nerys with Nemesis +16 (FINISHED)
Alagion with Fragrant Flower +14 (FINISHED)
Echthalion the Big Brother Skunk +7 (8/15)
One more day for updates! I know two of you have finished already so good work there! Lets see if we can get all of the racers finished! @Baphởmet
