The Legend of the Three-Toothed Dragon

Your party has answered the call to slay the dreaded Three-Toothed Dragon of Middle Tooth! You’ve assembled your team and made your way out into the wilderness. Your path takes you through the Forest of Sir Bearington, a sentient bear with no love for humans. The party druid disguises everyone as rabbits to help avoid detection. Broad jumps!

As you exit the woods, you discover… an angry treant! 15 Happy Crunchy Frogs! 5 Big Boy Situps!

You arrive to the entrance of the dragon’s lair; a group of hill giants block your way forward. You attempt to maneuver around and roll for Dexterity – 5 minutes of field sprints.

As you brave the cave, you stumble upon….a few goblins. 10 burpees!

You find yourselves at a dead end, but upon further inspection, discover it is a hidden door. But it requires magic to open. You choose: Knock – 15 Screamin’ Eagles.

Having gained passage, you slip into the grand throne of the Three-Toothed Dragon, named Murphy. You have the element of surprise, so you decide to: Leroy Jenkins his ass: Burpee-Broad Jumps

Bloodied and battered, Murphy seems to be defeated… but he suddenly re-emerges, resurrected as a dracolich! Bust out the Holy Hand Grenade of Lathander from your Bag of Holding and dust this clown. Dora, 50 Kraken Burpees

With a terrible roar, Murphy falls to the earth, a lifeless husk. You have managed to silence this terrible creature and recover the loot. You partner up to carry as much back together as you can: 10 Booyah Merkins, 10 Hi-Five Jump Squats, 5 sets

MOLESKINE: Way to push through the rain (or as we call it in Atlantis… well, we don’t call it anything, because we don’t notice, it’s just wet all the time).

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lots of places opening up. Pull up challenge. moneyshot is new AOQ of Brewsday.

COT: Prayers for sooner and family navigating troubled waters laying a grandmother to rest. For my M looking for a job. All intentions unspoken.

Back to Startex for Mary – dealers choice of weapon (exercise) and proceed til time.

MOLESKINE:
On a particularly rainy morning, YHC was grateful for the 10 PAX who did not let the fartsack win them over and who came out to test their mettle.

I personally found the playlist invigorating, and while there was mumblechatter, I think all but 2 PAX held the full 4 minute plank! Excellent full body yells on brand from Young Pawn.

Considering the conditions, we stayed pretty dry all the way until Mary when Rocket Mortgage promptly had us down in the water for our first exercise. Thanks for that – made the coffee from sooner taste even better!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: So very many – please see -f3-nashville-general for the full list!

Additional announcement is that Oatmeal and sooner are taking their families camping this weekend to Montgomery Bell State Park, and there’s an open invite to others who want to go!

COT: YHC echoed the message in the pre-blast about the importance of AOQs in F3 and shared gratitude for the 5-6 current and previous AOQs we had around the circle. I reiterate that we want PAX to lead before they’re ready and to leave before their ready, and we are pushing to help that trend solidify.

Prayers shared for recent diagnosis, death of an extended family member, and for a tragic incident in another F3 region with an FNG collapsing & not making it. Will share more as that travels through the grapevine.

Thank you, HIM, for your effort today. May you be better for it!

As always, it’s an honor to lead.
