Deathwish Run

The Deathwish Run, sometimes Death Wish Run, is a crawler race in Bassuras. It is often used to settle disputes between the various crawler gangs.

Description
The Deathwish Run, sometimes just referred to as The Run, is an urban no-holds-barred race. The typical course begins at the Bone Tree, goes through the neighborhood of The Skids, continues outside the city walls into the ravines that surround Bassuras, up out of the ravine, and finishes back along the Carmine Walls and ends where it began.

The race is extremely dangerous, often fatal, and people often put obstacles on the track to make it more difficult. The skirmish crawlers used in the race hold two people, one of whom drives and one of whom provides support and may heckle other teams.

Campaign 3
Ashton noted, once Bells Hells had been tracked down by members of the Paragon's Call, that this may end in a dispute. They went to Justi Pross, an old friend in a rival crawler gang, All-Minds-Burn, to ask for her help, and she offered to put obstacles in The Run in their favor. The entire party then went to Imahara Joe's to purchase crawlers in preparation.

When the party went to the Seat of Disdain under the pretense of taking up Ratanish's offer, in their pursuit of Armand Treshi, they met Otohan Thull, who challenged them to a race that night at dusk. The party entered the race with their crawler, as well as a loaner from Imahara Joe's, on the Paragon's Call's dime. As a part of the agreement, All-Minds-Burn droped a boulder on the course to smooth the race for Bells Hells, however, at the time of their initiative, all of the other competitors had been already eliminated. Bells Hells won the race, as the only racers left standing at the end.

Quotations
Ashton: It is more than a race. It is a race where the stakes are high. Death is possible. You're beating everybody. It's not just about the car that wins. It's about the car that survives. It's intense. It's awesome. Oh, I've always wanted to do this shit.
