Walkthrough & Notes

Race around the track while going through the gates. At two locations, you have the choice between the high road over the plank bridge through the gate to the left and the low road through the mud to the gate on the right. If you successfully navigate the high road, you will receive a burst of speed. If you take the low road, you will be slowed by the mud. You will fail the race if you take the low road at both locations.

Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Welcome, welcome! This is quite an odd event, don't you think? To race around on these great tall beasts -- I am not sure I like it at all! But folk come from near and far to take a chance on this game and try to win a steed. 'The rules are very simple -- race through each gate, and you mustn't fall off your steed before the time runs out. When you see two gates next to one another, you must choose which path to take, be it high or low. The low path may be muddy, and the high is sure to be dry, but precarious indeed. There will be other hurdles to disrupt you as well. 'Do you feel up for this challenge? Only the most spirited riders should even attempt such a feat! It is sure to be very dangerous. I myself would never attempt such a thing!' Background The Festival Run is a fairly new tradition in the Delving Fields of the Shire.
