Horse race breakdown

Because I'm a nice little narrator-minion, and a bit bored, I decided to play around with this:

Round 0:
All PC's are at -1 advantage compared to Holy Harry.

How it works: If Harry's athletics(run) is equal or greater to your roll, you get -1, if your roll is better, you get +1.
When Harry makes his ride check, everyone not making it get -1, when he fails, everyone making it get +1.

Presumably, the first PC getting to +3 bags him, while anyone that drops to -3 is out of the game.

Round 1: Holy Harry makes his ride check, and gets 20 on athletics(run)
Lorreia 0 (Beats Harry +1)
Derrock -2 (equals harry -1)
Jorah -2 (beaten by harry -1)
Athelstan -2 (beaten by harry -1)
Dyana -2 (beaten by harry -1, because you are riding a destrier, you should roll 2d6 to add them as test dice to harry against you)
Kevan -3 (fails ride check -1, beaten by Harry -1), can't keep up.

Round 2: Holy Harry fails his ride check, and gets 16 on athletics(run)
Loreia +2 (makes ride check +1, beats harry +1)
Jorah 0 (beats harry +1, makes ride check +1)
Athelstan 0 (beats harry +1, makes ride check +1)

Round 3: Holy Harry makes his ride check, and gets 20 on athletics(run)
Loreia +3 (beats harry +1) Catches up
Athelstan -1 (beaten by harry -1)
Jorah -2 (beaten by harry -1, fails ride check -1)

Round 4: Holy Harry makes his ride check, and gets 21 on athletics(run)
Athelstan -3 (beaten by harry -1, fails ride check -1), can't keep up.

Round 5: Holy Harry fails his ride check, and gets 18 on athletics(run)
Round 6: Holy Harry fails his ride check, and gets 12 on athletics(run)
Round 7: Holy Harry makes his ride check, and gets 14 on athletics(run)
Round 8: Holy Harry makes his ride check, and gets 14 on athletics(run)
Round 9: Holy Harry makes his ride check, and gets 19 on athletics(run)
Round 10: Holy Harry fails his ride check, and gets 19 on athletics(run)
Round 11: Holy Harry makes his ride check, and gets 20 on athletics(run)


I am not the narrator, so this may not be the final verdict.

Super helpful Theomore.

You're still a wicked schemer IC, but I appreciate the help!

Unless we get new participants, Loreia wins. She made all her ride checks, and beats all his run checks, at least up until round 3 when she gets +3 advantage. It is not possible to catch him sooner than this, and nobody else who has already rolled for round 1 succeeded at beating his run.

Double helpful. There's still time for people to participate, but Loreia and her super-horse have set a high standard! Glad the expensive horse is having an immediate impact.
