The presentation

 

Not making the points you need to stay competitive? Be on the look out for these side quests to boost your score!

You will need to ask for the side quest upon finishing that leg of the rase. All of these are solo and provide a chance for you to boost your score if you didn't make what you wanted to in that particular leg.

All Side Quests must be completed before the next leg begins.

What You Will Encounter:

 

 

ROUTE INFO

This will start each leg of the race. Each leg will be three weeks long, though it may not take you that long to complete. There are five legs of the race and each leg will be modeled after a part of Joseph's Campbell's The Hero's Journey. This is also where your partner will be chosen. Each leg must be run with a different partner until the final leg which wll be solo.

DETOUR

When you find this, you will be given a choice between two tasks. Your team will choose one of the two herculean tasks to complete. Choose wisely! If not, you will waste time

 

TOLL

Some routes require you to pay a toll to pass. Of course these will only be accepted in the class currency of Drachma!

 

 

ROAD BLOCK

In a road block, only one team member can perform a task. The other team mamber cannot help.

FACE OFF

In a Face Off, you must find another team and compete against them. If your team loses, there will either be a penalty to pay or you may have to find another team to compete against.

Ramp Closed Ahead

When you see this sign, your team keeps going! The next task is a task for the both of you - no detour or roadblock in sight. Always onward and forward.

 

 

Sometimes you need to level the playing field. Get to this first and force another team to to have to complete BOTH tasks on the DETOUR. Warning - heros sometimes have consequences for their actions and you will need to reveal who you are to the team you punished!

FACE OFF

This will allow you to skip all tasks and jump to the pit stop for that leg. Warning, there is only one available when offered - first come, first served! If you're not first, you're last!

 

Wait for another team to arrive and ask them to join you in a task. If they agree, you will compete together to complete the task. If they do not agree, you must wait for another team before moving forward.

There will be others, so always be vigilant!

Plus, be wary of the TEMPTATION FROM THE TRUE PATH! If you are lead astray, you will be out of the race and become a FALLEN HERO (so sad). There will be plenty of temptations put in your way, but few chances for redemption.

THE PIT STOP

This is where each leg of the race ends. First team to arrive will be rewarded! Last team to arrive will not be eliminated. Hey, even heroes have set backs on their journeys. You can recover!

 

 

 

If, when you are required to click this, it does not have the correct semester (Fall/Spring) and year, come back here and refresh the page. If that doesn't work - DO NOT WORK ON THE ASSIGNMENT - rather be the first person to tell Lord Alford and get 5 Drachma.
