"Simple willingness to do the work is not enough," Fei Yi announces, taking a roll of oiled and thick leather and unfurling it onto the counter. Inside, the silvery gleam of knives glint in the morning sunlight streaming through windows. "Even the simplest dishwasher can be willing to work hard. Skill and talent play a large part in being a chef, and one of the most basic skills a chef can learn is knifework."
One of Fei's hands slip around the handle of a sizeable cleaver and he lifts it, displaying it before you and the others. The clean steel of the knife gleams above the wood of the handle. "Your knife and wok are your two most important tools, and you should treat them accordingly. You must also make them a part of yourself, as well-known to you as your own hands. For this test, I will observe each day as you prepare some of the necessary ingredients for this shop, and I will make note of your skill and your speed. I am an exacting master, so I expect nothing but the best from my apprentice."
Each day, your character will recieve five ingredients which need to be sliced, diced, chopped, or otherwise prepared using knife skills. You will prepare each ingredient by rolling 2 10-sided dice and adding your agility stat to each individual dice (not the total). The first dice in a roll represents your accuracy with the knife. The second represents your speed with the knife. At the end of the day, you will recieve points in three areas, based on the average of your ingredients. The first area will be an average of your accuracy. The second area will be an average of your speed. The final area will be an average of your accuracy combined with your speed, to present a report on where your strengths and weaknesses are.
At the end of the event, the person who has the best overall score in all three areas will will this test. However, there is a final note: For days where you only complete a few ingredients, this will bring down your daily average. However, for days you are unable to roll at all, you will not be penalized.
We will take note if you are unable to roll for many days of the event, though.
