Sorcerer Itinerant (A Mage Errant Quest)

Throwing yourself into the test, you quickly make short work of the assignment. Most of it is simple, just basic knowledge that any middle-class person should've had taught to them. You know that some commoners don't get much of an education, but anyone going to Skyhold should. As for you, long hours spent with your head in books means you can easily make top scores.

Not that this one is much of a challenge, but it does have some deceptively difficult questions. Namely, about the nature of aether and its flow. The calculation to determine aetheric density is complex and somewhat obtuse. Still, you've got the answer down.

Judging by some of the groans around you, several of your classmates haven't paid as much attention. By the end of the hour, a few defeated faces fill the crowd. You're not one of them, thankfully. The official in charge of your group quickly gathers up the papers, sorting them and setting them aside for later. "Alright. Now that you've gone through the boring stuff, we've set up a bit more of an exciting test."

That made everyone perk up, and you all happily followed the man. He led you to a rectangular chamber, narrow in width but long enough to require you to run to get to the other side in any decent amount of time.

It seems an obstacle course has been set up, and not a simple one like the kinds you've seen at fairs and celebrations. Highvale has many such occasions, but here you've seen they've gone all out. Rings, bars, ladders, and tunnels fill the space. There are two lanes, each with their own menagerie of obstacles to overcome.

The man was joined by several other robed individuals. "These two here will be on watch, so don't worry about falling or hurting yourself. Professor Alheim is a force mage, and Vilina's a healer. I suggest you use your fledgeling magics here, if they are applicable. Otherwise, it's a measurement on how fast you can reach the end and back." They gave their own short introductions, and soon enough youths were sprinting down the hall.

You watch as people leap and tumble. Several are naturally better at it than others, while some use their own affinities to aid themselves. Forming handholds, boosting their jumps, and pushing things aside. It's a mad dash, and the leaders get quite a few cheers.

How do you approach the issue ahead?

[] [Locomotion Pool] - 4d6. Speed is life, and you've lived yours to the fullest. Whether it be clambering up a tree, dashing down a hill, or swimming through a river, you've done it all and with great vigor.
[] [Locomotion Pool] - 3d6. You're no stranger to childhood play, but you've never been quite interested. Sure, you'll play a game of ball or climb the mountains with your friends, but you've never put your all into it. You preferred staying around your home town rather than being more adventurous.

Whatever the case, as you reach the end, you suck in breath. That was quite the challenge to perform. You've worked up quite a sweat, and find yourself...

[] [Stat Boost] Ready to keep going. - +1 HP. You're well used to exertion. You've got plenty of vim and vigor to face the challenges ahead.
[] [Stat Boost] Sweating a fair bit. - +3 MP. Who needs to work out when you can simply read? Running long distances isn't your forte, but you're of average fitness.
