"Ladies and Gentlebeings from all corners of the galaxy! Fode and Beed here, bringing you the action live from Charnel Gulch in the Noventa System! The Charnel Gulch Classic is about to get underway, and boy howdy, do we have a deep field!" The basic speaking Fode called out, over the roaring cheers of the crowd sitting in the stands, as well as those watching at home. Beed, speaking in Huttese continued. "That's right! And speaking of deep fields, just take a look at the racers. Even Sebulba has come out of retirement for this one! Just trying to win back some of his old glory. The old Dug has never recovered from his loss to young Anakin Skywalker during the Boonta Eve Race on Tattooine." Fode nodded, looking to his partner. "I wonder whatever happened to that talented racer!"
After the far too long driver introductions, all of the Pods were lined on the starting grid. The
roar of Podracing engines kicking on, filling the stands over the cheers of the crowd. Sebulba, as arrogant as ever, looked about the field. Yasmin, for her part, remained focused on the race, goggles over her eyes. After a few moments, the lights began to flicker, the cold wrecking havoc, but pit droids working to keep everything operating.
"Aaaaaaand.... they're off!" Fode called out, as the drivers began the race. Sebulba had already sorted out who his biggest threat was, the Nautolan woman! Slamming his massive pod racer into hers, he forced a collision, slowing her down. Yasmin cursed, working to recover, her engines smoking, as they dodged and weaved around other racers. But in their dance, they failed to notice...
Two new comers moving quickly, and determined to make their way up fields. TK and Syzygy, each piloting craft that were certainly a bit more customized than normal. The improved handling enabled them to duck and dive through the sharp chicane turns, before accelerating down the straightaway. Drafting, overtaking, lap after lap, the pair were able to blow past the competition.
Then, it came to the final lap, neck and neck. TK's racer had been faster the whole race, but through sheer luck, and her own training, Syzygy had pulled some fast maneuvers early, keeping herself in the race. They had left the other racers in the dust, and cameras panned to keep on the two, projecting their two pods battling the cold and each other. The final straightaway, a long, 10 kilometer stretch just before the stands and finish line. The checkered banner was whipping in the wind as the two seemed to be neck and neck. One engine would pull ahead, and then the other.
Time seemed to slow, as their fields of vision only focused on their vehicles, that finish flag, and the glory that would come with it. A flash, and the pair crossed the line. Holorecorders flashed and leapt into action, waiting for the replay, it was just too close to call. Until... it came in. In patented super slow motion, the cameras showed that Syzygy, at the last of all seconds, crossed the line just ahead of the masked TK.
"And I don't believe it! Newcomer Syzygy Anion has won the Classic! Beings from all corners, we might just be witnessing the birth of a new racing legend! Oooh, aaaah! Oooh, aaaah!" The pair of heads bobbed and weaved, cheering on the end of the race!
Final Racing Scores:
Syzygy - 31 Points
TK - 30 Points
Yasmin - 20 Points
Sebulba - 17 Points
Outcome:
Syzygy has won the Charnel Gulch Classic! She nets a purse of 10k credits, as well as the title "Gulch Classic Champion". When dealing with fans of podraces or anyone associated with podracing, she gains a boost die.
TK, for coming in second, nets a purse of 7.5k Credits
In addition, both pilots gained the ability -
Too Fast, Too Furious-Once per session, During a chase or a race, they can engage in reckless or foolhardy actions. Add a challenge die to the Piloting Check for positioning, but they also add two boost dice. This lasts for a duration equal to Cunning.
