[Autumn]

The Villagers get their boat in the water first, Thomkal, Hoopsguy, Eaglefan and Chesapeake piling in as the others wait on the beach. As the four start working on rowing out to the torch, Chesapeake takes it upon himself to get the rowers organizing, making sure everyone is rowing to the same cadence. It is unclear that the others are willing to follow his lead, but his direction has some impact on getting the Villagers rowing well and on their way to the torch.

The Werewolves pile onto their boat not long after the Villagers, from their own side of the bay. CrimsonFox, SnDvls, TheJackal and Racer all climb on board and start rowing furiously, trying to make up for lost time. They struggle, however, not moving as quickly or as smoothly as the villagers. It seems again that only SnDvls Herculean efforts on his oar keep them not far behind the others, as he rows like a man possessed, urging the others on.

The Villagers reach the center of the bay first, and the small rock holding the two torches. As the boat nears, Thomkal moves to the edge of the raft, carefully reaching out and snagging the torch, the others holding the raft still for him.

Soon after the Werewolves reach the rock themselves. There is some confusion on the approach as to who will grab the torch, several contestants standing up before realizing no one is rowing. Finally CrimsonFox lurches out and grabs the torch, grabbing a shoulder to keep from falling off the raft himself. Both teams have their torches, the Villagers working on a sizable lead on their way back to their beach.
