You can have quick words with anyone you like.
The race is starting imminently! I shal be making rolls for the competitors.
What you guys do is up to you. You can race alongswide them- you are much more cofortable running around the mountain than they are as the air is more to your liking, though I'll still make rolls- to see how they are doing. Your Epirean guards are at the lower levels of the mountain and will kinda oversee things, though the literal security perimeter isn;t guarded by anyone atr all excet yourselves; it is more a place of camera observation etc. You don't like actually having people near you.
Or you could take a spectator view at any point along the course, or in your base.
Or you could stay down by the grater and wait for the runners to return.
Or discuss the situation with Firak and co.
Or bugger off from the race entirely, and take a ship down to visit somewhere nearby.
Or arrange to cheat horribly, in which case you should tell me by PM.

The first leg is very simple- up the mountain, the same route you guys took a few years back.
