Meanwhile, back in Ahket... The Temple of Bastet The scent of heady incense is the first thing to hit your senses when you enter the temple to the cat goddess Bastet. Large, decorated pillars line the main room stretching to the ceiling high above which is also elaborately painted with hieroglyphic images of Bastet with many cats.
On pillows around the temple cats of varying types lounge about, some scamper and play chasing the myriad of cat toys that litter the floor. Golden bowls filled to the brim with the choicest treats are laid out for them. In the middle of the expansive temple room is an indoors fountain painted with images of cats, but instead of water it is magically enchanted to spray forth fresh cream from the mouths of bas relief cat heads.
At the back of the temple room stands a gigantic, golden statue of Bastet herself in her human bodied and cat headed form. The many light sconces and lamp lights nearly dance their radiance upon her.

 Sahret paces like a caged tiger as the doorway opened. The energy in the air was electric, she loved these trials and relished the fight with the potential priestesses. To become a priestess a sphinx must defeat her in combat and be the last one standing. It was a challenge that she faced each year, fighting many until her muscles and wounds nearly took her.
She smiled from behind her mask with excitement as the potentials entered the temple.Sahret: Ii-wy em Hotep. Welcome friends to the temple of Bastet. *she eyed the prospects, sizing them up for the fight* This is the eleventh year of ritual combat to join the ranks of the warrior priestesses. We honor Bastet's more ferocious side in her battle against Set. For those of you who wish to participate in the ritual combat to become a masked warrior priestess, I shall momentarily ask you to dedicate yourself to the combat.If you have fought me in combat for three years in a row, show me proof of your devotion and I shall make you a masked priestess due to your tenacity. Determination makes for a great warrior. ((Ie. if you have participated in the contest for three years in a row, including this one, you may PM sphinxes with proof of your entries with links to pages with their first combat entry. (I still have the PMs from the world search for Sahret.) If you can prove your three years of participating in the trials (not just signing up, the sphinx has to be there for at least the first round of the combat) they will gain the job upgrade to priestess of Bastet.)) Contest to become a Masked PriestessOOC: How the game will go. Basically each round of combat will be played much like 'rock-paper-scissors' but will instead be 'swat-claw-rake' swat = rock (beats rake)
claw = paper (beats swat)
rake = scissors (beats claw)
tie = Sahret winsI will use the diceroller to see which option Sahret uses. All of the entrants who are still standing will attack Sahret at once. When Sahret gives the word to attack her, you have 5 minutes to post your attack choice in bold. If you don't post by that time you are out. RP descriptions of the sphinx's attack is cool, but not necessary. The winners of the first round will be able to face Sahret into the second round... but then a new trick will be added. She's not going to take it so easy on you the second time around. Winners of the second round get to enter the third round, etc. Entrants for this year...AoM (Morgan) Toxi (Masika) Sanguine (Neria) Phoenix (Hasina) Silent (Izanami) Hotaru (Chiyeko) Aholland (Zekora) Operetta (Nensala) Cameron (Chua) |

 Masika saunters in, and three companion felines in tow and looks around the temple. This year Ahket had been blissfully quiet, perhaps recouping from the events of the previous year. But never the less she wanted to be sure she didn't miss the battle for entry into the Masked Priestesses of Bastet. She had missed the previous, but she'd prayed to her goddess for forgiveness and was here to dedicate herself once more. |

 Morgan had been remaining back from the festival for one main reason and at least they had come. The Temple was entered and she was confident that this would be a year that she'd become that which she sought, a Priestess of Bastet. "This shall be my year. I've practiced and now the time has come. Lets see if my claws are swift this year." |

Sahret: For those of you wishing to become a masked priestess, show yourselves and proclaim 'I wish to dedicate my claws to Bastet'.
I shall take entrants for the next hour. After that we shall begin the ritual combat.
((OOC: Ie. Post the normal posed, female, Egyptian sphinx who is trying to become a priestess of Bastet with that phrase in bold. RP notes are not only fine, but appreciated since they add the right feel to the thread. ^_^ You have until one hour after this post to enter. ))

Morgan grinned as she was just in time it seemed as signups were being called for. Head held high, she stepped forward. 'I wish to dedicate my claws to Bastet'." She proclaimed proudly. |

Masika's ears perked even as her eyes narrowed at Sahret's announcement. She was ready. Eagerness made her tail twitch a bit erratically behind her but that was not a worry. Instantly she'd step up and in clear tones answer the priestess. " I wish to dedicate my claws to Bastet." |

"I wish to dedicate my claws to Bastet"  Neria padded in quietly as she looked around. She was shy, and quiet, however, she hoped she could appease Bastet and become a priestess in her name.
