Sauron Exploits Race Times in Take The Hobbits to Isengard

Lord Elrond summoned to Steward's Enquiry:

Vilya race day it has been alleged was fumbled. Angry mobs (forlorn Hobbits) have begun gathering outside the Prancing Pony alleging Vilya race day was fumbled and demanding the lost 34 seconds be found and removed from the overall winning time. Seconds were lost due to the timer being started before the players knew they had to go. Panic ensued and the lead shot off suddenly into a stable wall, no injuries were sustained our hobbit reporter says. Hobbits on the day demanded fair play for all teams. A council summit meeting is proposed to adjust the overall race time by 34 seconds.

Allegedly C.O.E, the Council of Elrond has called an urgent summit expected to meet at Rivendell on the matter in the forthcoming weeks ahead. Our undercover hobbit reporter has obtained a leaked transcript of the days events from various races and it seems there is evidence that the timer was started before the signal to Go! was given.

Was Vilya done an injustice? We may never know. Worried hobbits everywhere are beginning to whisper Sauron may have exploited the situation. Elrond has summoned a transcript of Sapience's race commentary to decide the fate of the missing 34 seconds and save Middle Earth. Names have been altered due to Elven legal restrictions. The case continues... at least until second breakfast.


Vilya
Prancing Pony steps:
[PlayerA tells you please follow ]
Vilya is kinda up against it tonight to see if they can do as well and we'll see if they can pull it off.
Um, I'm already in my group and I already know who I am supposed to be following. So we are going to jump right into it and see how well Vilya does.
[PlayerB tells you I'm your follow.]
So let me grab my person [Clicks PlayerB] and then … They are apparently listening so ... [Clicks Timer]
Oops. Apparently they aren't listening.
[OOC]/Go... They started moving, but then they stopped. And they seemed to stay stopped. Hmmn. They got to go the timer is ticking, 30 seconds. That's going to hurt. And right into a wall. Oh this is bad.

Arkenstone
Prancing Pony steps:
All right so we are going to get going, as you can see there is a timer on the screen right down here. Once we start going I'll start that and it doesn't stop until we go through the Gates of Isengard.
...We're going to go. [OOC]/GO! Go. And they are absolutely, [Clicks Timer] on the ball.

Crickhollow
Prancing Pony steps:
[Clicks Follow] Alright. I've got the person I'm supposed to be following and [OOC]/ZGO! I'll start the timer as soon as they go. [Time starts] And we're off.

Withywindle
Fountain cobble stones:
So I will run over to where they are. Let me get on follow. There we go. And, [OOC]/ALL SET? let's get rollin'. [OOC]/GO! I shall start the timer just as soon as they start moving me out. [Clicks Timer]And we are off.

Evernight
Fountain cobble stones:
PlayerC is the person I need to follow, so I will follow them and I will run over to where they are. All right let me get my timer set up. We're all set. And make sure everybody knows who I am following. [Say]/I am following PlayerC. GO! And we' re off.
