Dragoncrest Cliffs and be yourself my ally in love’s battle

There was a mixture of responses.  The look she gave her children was understanding, but uncompromising.  If they chose not to participate, that was their own decision.... but she did give Chacal and the others, Vex and Haunt, an inviting lilt of her head.  If they chose to participate, they were welcome - if not, it would be Merlin and Njord only.

Whoever joined, the signal was hers to give.  She waited with it, and while she did, allowed her mind to drift lazily out to her wife in the waters.  She was capable, and if any fell to ill tides, she'd surely aid in recovering them.  A beat... and then...

Begin!  she barked, swift and sure and severe.  The resounding note of it was a clear starting gun, and she watched as the opponents surged (likely by varying degrees) into the water.  She'd track them carefully and try to determine who was first to return.

Opponents will roll a 1d10 (either in chat or in tabletop) and the highest result will win!  tie should re-roll for victor <3.  We'll have one round for the race and a final round for response!
