The Quest: The Arduous Ascent of Grimness

The Challenge: Take a selfie on the top of one of Colorado’s 14er’s.

Tristan's note: Ok, this is a real challenge. Unless there is a ski-lift up one of them... would that be cheating?

Challenge Accepted!!!

Wombat's Ruling: Assuming that Tristan and Zora actually climb the mountain, this is < 1 day, Difficult "Sweat Factor" = 800 exp, 5 hours charity.

Update 7/8/2018: Another Colorado quest which has gone begging. I'm sure we can find another 14er in some other state, but as we never set foot in CO it's a bit hard to claim that we can complete it. Womp womp.

Play with animals...

The Quest: Exorcising the Beasts

The Challenge: Find an animal shelter and see if they'll let you walk the dogs! That way they get exercise :) Or just go socialize with the cats, if they let you do that.

Tristan's note: This isn't really a challenge at all is it?

Challenge accepted!!!

Wombat's Ruling: This is almost too easy! Let's make it more interesting. Tristan and Zora have to make adoption profiles (name, pictures, descriptions of animal's personality) for some of the cats/dogs they meet and post them here and on Facebook. It'll be 200 experience (and 2 hours of charity) for each animal, up to a maximum of 4 animals.

The Quest: The Feast of Unrivalled Gut Distention

The Challenge: Complete or attempt every eating/ food contest you come across ....... eg eating 1 tonne of hot wings and you don’t have to pay!!!!

Tristan's Note: I am not going to do this, because I will ruin about 20% of all my days (Do you know how many places in the US have an eating challenge!?) HOWEVER, I will attempt the first eating challenge that there is at a place where we stop for food, AND for every subsequent place where I pass on attempting a challenge I will donate time.

Challenge (kind of) accepted!!!

Wombat's Ruling: This is a pretty easy/fun one, but let's have mercy on poor Tristan's stomach (he's not used to good, healthsome US food). We'll call it 1-4 hours (to include the time he spends recovering), and Easy "Sweat Factor", for 300 exp, 2 hours of charity.

The Quest: The Observance of The Dual

Challenge:  Make a short movie of a Western showdown in an abandoned frontier town.

Challenge Accepted!!!

Wombat's Ruling: Experience depends on how long the movie is. For a really short movie (<90 seconds), then 400 exp, 3 hours charity (1-4 hours, Moderate "Sweat Factor")

For a longer movie with a plot (2-5 minutes), then 600 exp, 4 hours charity (< 1 day, Moderate "Sweat Factor")
